Chapter 3349 — Two More Have Appeared

"That we don't know—our master never told us..." the Gu son said with a bitter face. "The Gu family was only a small clan back then—Young Master Yu probably doesn't even remember us. When the master wiped out the Yu family, our family happened to be moving here, and my father, being a shrewd sort, ingratiated himself with them. That's how we became their eyes and ears, and we receive cultivation resources at regular intervals. As for who they are, we never dared ask..."
"Is that so? Not a single clue?" Wei Zhao frowned. "Then how did you keep in contact?"
"They always contacted us—we never had any way to reach them. And the cultivation resources were sent by post..." the Gu son said.
"What you've said is all useless chatter—not nearly enough to save your lives!" Wei Zhao knew that sometimes, without a show of force, these people felt no pressure and would never say anything worthwhile.
"No—no—there's one more important thing!" At this point the Gu son threw caution to the winds. The other party had told them to keep it secret, but secret it could no longer remain! Besides, once they had said their piece they would leave this place and could never cross paths with those people again. Staying alive mattered more!
"Speak," Wei Zhao said coldly.
"It's like this—a few days ago, the master's side sent two envoys. They rested here for a night, then left..." the Gu son said. "What they were called, we don't know, and my father received them personally—we never even got to exchange a word with them, nor did we catch so much as a glimpse of their faces. But this much we do know: they asked my father about the whereabouts of the Polli clan. Barring the unexpected, they must have gone to the Polli clan... If you can find those two, there may be a lead..."
Back then, those two had threatened the Gu family that they must never breathe a word of their visit or their movements, or the Gu family would be wiped out. But now, if they kept silent, these people would wipe them out anyway. Better to speak first—at the very least, they might die a little later.
So he spat out everything.
"Oh? Two men came? And they went to the Polli clan?" Calm as Wei Zhao was, even he could not keep a flicker of astonishment and disbelief from crossing his face. He had not expected such a coincidence!
But what did those two have to do with the Polli clan? Were they close to it, or...? The thought left Wei Zhao somewhat unsettled. This time he was going to trade with the Polli clan—put plainly, to ask the Polli clan for help. And now, out of nowhere, two of Yu Dake's enemies had appeared...
Yet on closer reflection, Wei Zhao realized it was not so. Those two had gone to Old Master Gu to ask where the Polli clan was—which meant they must be unfamiliar with the clan! Otherwise, why ask at all? They would simply go. At that thought, Wei Zhao breathed a little easier.
