Chapter 300: Tailing

“Wait for me, is there anything I can help with?”

He Lianjun chased after her, but he couldn’t see Gu Qingluan’s figure.

He thought she was running awfully fast!

After a moment of consideration, he ran toward the main entrance, assuming Brother Jun would be guarding there.

Gu Qingluan had indeed intended to head straight for the main entrance. However, she suddenly felt a powerful force immobilizing her.

Her vision blurred momentarily as if she had used a teleportation portal. When she regained her senses, she found herself standing outside the Shadow Tower’s main gate.

Gu Qingluan glanced at the moon in the sky and guessed the reason.

She lowered her head to look for the nameplate.

Sure enough, the nameplate for number 666 was gone.

Upon entering the Shadow Tower earlier, the Tower’s staff informed them that once the designated time arrived, individuals who hadn’t departed from the Shadow Tower would be forcibly removed.

Could it be that the man with the black mask had also been forced out by now?

Gu Qingluan didn’t know how long the validity of his nameplate was. She assumed that since his number was after hers, his time might not have run out yet.

So, she leaned against a pillar by the door and waited.

People were expelled one by one, but she didn’t see the one she was looking for.

After a while, the main door was opened, and a group of people streamed out.

Gu Qingluan perked up, closely observing.

After most of the people had left, she still hadn’t seen the man with the black mask.

“Brother Jun! So, you were here all along! You made me search for you!” He Lianjun suddenly appeared and patted Gu Qingluan’s shoulder.

Gu Qingluan shrunk her shoulder, avoiding his hand.

He Lianjun smiled and withdrew his hand. “What are you doing here? Are you waiting for that man?”

“Have you seen him again?”

“No, I think he must have left a long time ago. Why are you looking for him?

Can you tell me? Maybe I can help.”

Gu Qingluan shook her head.

What she needed was the Chaos Stone, something he couldn’t assist with.

Oh well, she had done her best. She couldn’t even find the person, let alone the stone.

Fortunately, she hadn’t come away empty-handed today.

Making a contract with Su Meng unexpectedly increased her Hongmeng Qi.

This unexpected joy made her realize one thing—there was more than one shortcut to enhance Hongmeng Qi.

Contracting with the Spirit Clan was another way!

She didn’t know if it would only work the first time or if each subsequent contract would also increase it.

If it was the latter, she could look for other Spirit Clans in the future.

Of course, Spirit Clans were rare and reclusive, so finding them and convincing them to form a contract willingly with her might be even harder than finding the Chaos Stone.

Gu Qingluan put her hands down from her chest and bid farewell to He Lianjun.

He Lianjun said, “Are you leaving? I promised to treat you to a drink, and I haven’t fulfilled that promise yet.”

“Another time.”

He Lianjun felt a bit regretful, but he also understood that all good things must come to an end.

“Alright then, see you next time. We’ll have a drink together. We won’t leave unless we get drunk!”

After saying goodbye to He Lianjun, Gu Qingluan walked in the direction of the teleportation portal

She hadn’t gone far when she realized that there were a few shady figures following her.

A cold light flashed in her eyes as she quickened her pace.

As she sped up, the people behind her did the same.

Seeing a corner not far ahead, she quickly turned into it.

The individuals following her rushed over, turned the corner, and found themselves in a secluded alley.

The person they were looking for had disappeared!

“Split up and search!”

Four of them jumped over the wall and went in opposite directions, while the remaining two rushed into the alley.

However, the alley led to a dead end, with no way out!

“He’s not in the alley!” The two with disappointed expressions realized that if they couldn’t bring the person back, they couldn’t report to their master.

They turned to leave the alley and search elsewhere when suddenly, they saw a figure standing in front of them, backlit by the light..
