Chapter 1322 Find the Seller
Although the urge to complain had reached its peak.
However, his professional ethics did not allow Gu Xing to question the masked men to their faces.
He admitted that he was indeed a bit useless.
They were unable to capture Sun Wukong quickly and hand him over to these masked men.
But surely it shouldn't be that these guys start swearing at him as soon as they come up?
Gu Xing, who had silently complained to himself many times, took a deep breath.
After he had calmed down, he feigned confusion and asked the masked man:
"Gentlemen... why do you say that? I have been doing my best to carry out your tasks."
"However, you are also aware of the current situation of the Heavenly Dao Alliance."
"The Snowdrift Guild is being watched so closely by those law enforcement officers that if I make any rash move, I'm very likely to be discovered."
When Gu Xing was mentioned last, he showed a pitiful expression.
It's as if you've tried your best, but you're still powerless to change anything.
He wanted to keep playing the victim to get more time for the task.
He wanted to let these masked men know that Sun Wukong was a very cunning fellow and not so easy to catch.
He didn't have a chance to say the rest.
It was interrupted without any mercy.
The masked man at the head of the group sneered after hearing Gu Xing's words.
He could, of course, see that Gu Xing was not being sincere when he said those words.
But it doesn't matter, since that wasn't their main purpose in coming here.
The masked man stared intently at Gu Xing in front of him: "Put aside what you're doing for now. There's something more important that needs your attention."
Their eyes were incredibly piercing, as if they wanted to skin Gu Xing alive and tear him apart.
This surprised Gu Xing.
As far as he knew, wasn't the most important thing right now the matter of Sun Wukong?
What could be more important than capturing Sun Wukong?
Moreover, he was being stared at with such fierce eyes by these people...
Gu Xing repeatedly reflected on whether he had done anything too extreme recently.
However, no matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn't figure it out.
Fortunately, the masked men shoved the answer right in front of him the next second.
The masked man said irritably, "Don't forget, before you capture Sun Wukong, you have another important task to complete..."
"Now I can tell you, the list may have been stolen! We can leave the thief aside for now; you must bring the betrayer back!"
Yes, these masked men didn't expect Gu Xing to be able to handle everything.
Those who stole the list can be put on hold for now.
The person who leaked the "Life and Death Contract" must be brought back.
It's not just the leakers who need to be brought to justice.
Other people in the know must also be dealt with.
The secret of the 【Life and Death Contract】 must not be lost.
Gu Xing overheard the masked men saying that the list they had might have been stolen.
His first reaction was that these people were joking.
How could the list have been stolen when I hid it so well?
Seeing that Gu Xing didn't take it seriously, the masked men sneered, "President Gu, you don't think we're joking with you, do you?"
Gu Xing, who was mocked once again, said that he didn't mean it that way.
In reality, they had to prove to these masked men that their list had not been stolen.
The masked man, of course, saw through the man's hypocrisy.
Although they say nice things, they are actually not convinced at all.
But it doesn't matter. Since this person wants to die knowing why, let him die knowing why.
Thus, under the masked man's indulgent attitude...
In front of these masked men, Gu Xing opened the hidden compartment where he kept his list.
Everything was set up exactly as it was when the list was stored.
Gu Xing took out the list, his voice tinged with excitement, "Everyone, I knew it! With my protection so well concealed, how could anyone..."
"Take another look? Is this really the list we gave you?" The masked man asked expressionlessly, looking at Gu Xing's barely suppressed joy.
Gu Xing, whose tone was filled with joy, paused for a moment when he heard these words.
He frantically opened the roster in his hand and, sure enough, found it to be a fake.
Although it is close enough to the original.
But it's only close enough.
"How could it be? How could it be possible?"
Gu Xing murmured.
He suddenly had a flash of inspiration and realized that the problem might have occurred at some point.
He quickly spoke up, trying to defend himself for his mistake: "Everyone, this is my fault. I was too presumptuous..."
"The roster was stolen when I left the Snowdrift Guild to cause trouble for the Third Guild."
He prepared many excuses.
They wanted to use rhetoric to confuse these masked people in order to minimize their own guilt.
Unfortunately, these masked men were clearly impatient to listen to so much nonsense.
"Enough! Now that you've confirmed the list was stolen, arrest the leaker immediately! The person who stole the roster can be dealt with later!"
No matter how much Gu Xing said, it was all meaningless to these masked people.
In their view, the only way Gu Xing could salvage the situation was to follow their orders, bring back the leaker, and execute the person in the know.
The secret of the "Life and Death Contract" is sealed off in this way, and then the roster is investigated to find out who stole it.
All of Gu Xing's actions at this time were merely attempts to delay the inevitable consequences of his crimes.
If it weren't for the fact that it's inconvenient for them to act within the Heavenly Dao Alliance.
If it weren't for the fact that the Pure Guild was wiped out by uncontrollable forces...
They wouldn't even consider Gu Xing, such a useless piece of trash.
In fact, what they originally hoped for was not Gu Xing.
If it weren't for the paleness, it would be so easily worn away.
In fact, he was the first choice for these masked men.
Even though paleness is not as easy to control as ancient movement.
However, due to its special nature, the masked man is quite confident that he can ensure the other party is obedient enough.
Unfortunately... their plan still failed because of Sun Wukong.
During that time, they even wondered if Sun Wukong was their natural nemesis.
Ahem, I've gotten a bit off-topic.
After telling Gu Xing about the whistleblower, the masked man planned to leave.
"...I hope you won't let us down this time, otherwise we'll have to find a new partner."
The masked man paused for a moment after saying this.
Having been given a stern warning, Gu Xing dared not show any dissatisfaction and quickly agreed.
As a result, the group of plague gods suddenly stopped moving again.
He was wondering what was wrong with this group of plague gods this time.
Then one of the plague gods said, "You're useless, and you really are useless!"
