"I… No, I don't know him. I only heard about his name from someone else, that's all." Gu Xiulan denied knowing about Yuan after snapping out of her daze.

"Anyways, here's your Flood Dragon's scale. Please enjoy. I have another business to attend to, so if you'll excuse me. Ah, if you have any questions, you can always come back here to find me."

"Thank you." Senior Nie accepted the treasure with trembling hands, feeling like a child on his birthday.

Once Senior Nie left the place, Gu Xiulan took a seat on the couch and began pondering profusely.

"A beautiful woman who likes to wear revealing red clothes… A little girl with a profound aura… The mastermind, Yuan… And last but not least, they were in the Lower Heavens not long ago… There is too much evidence for it to be just a coincidence."
