When Cui Lao heard this, his eyes widened in disbelief. Then, he frowned and looked at Gu Man in confusion.

Gu Man did not say anything else. She just looked at Cui Lao and nodded solemnly.

Cui Lao’s frown deepened. He turned around and said a few words to a middle-aged man beside him. That person led the other two young men downstairs.

“Old Master Cui, my friend doesn’t want to show their face either. Your matter is more important. Let’s deal with your matter first,” Gu Man reminded him.

Cui Lao thought for a moment and understood. This reminder would offend the force behind the auction. If she was not careful, she would be targeted by that force.

However, Gu Man and the others still chose to remind him. It was obvious that they still had the courage. And if he stayed with Gu Man any longer, he would be harming them.

Cui Lao pondered for a moment and said, “Then I’ll leave first. You must look for me if there’s anything.”

With that, Cui Lao led seven to eight people downstairs.

As soon as Cui Lao left, Gu Man received a call from Xiang Yin. “Continue walking down. We’ll follow behind you. Wait for us at the door.”

Gu Man had just stood at the entrance when Xiang Yin caught up from behind. Before Gu Man could speak, Xiang Yin gently pulled Gu Man’s arm and said, “Let’s go.”

Gu Man also quickened her pace. The street outside the ghost market had gradually quietened down. Just as Gu Man and the other two reached the middle of the long street, they realized that there was a group of people in gray robes in front and behind them.

It seemed that they had still been discovered.

The gray-clothed man walked closer and closer, almost surrounding Gu Man and the other two.

“The ghost market is too petty. They’re already making such a big fuss over a mere fake sarira,” Xiang Yin said in a low voice.

A gray-clothed man said, “The ghost market has always been an unreasonable place. Did you only find out today?”

“Hmph, I’ve seen it for myself today. You’re the only ones who are shameless,” Bai Yun mocked.

“It’s all your fault for talking too much. I have to teach you guys a lesson today.” With that, he waved his hand and the other gray-robed men instantly pounced on him.

Xiang Yin led Gu Man behind him and instructed her, “Follow behind me.”

“You’ve seen me fight. Don’t worry.” Gu Man’s voice did not contain a trace of panic.

“Okay.” Although Xiang Yin knew that Gu Man could fight, since he was here, there was no need for Gu Man to make a move. If Gu Man insisted, then so be it.

Gu Man flipped her hand and took out a needle that was longer and thicker than a silver needle. She held it in her hand.

Xiang Yin hit him hard. His movements were fast and ruthless. His hand rose and fell, knocking the other party unconscious or breaking their hand. A shrill shout was very abrupt in the quiet long street of the ghost market.

On Bai Yun’s side, although he usually looked sloppy, he was not bad at critical moments. His martial arts were somewhat similar to Xiang Yin’s, but he lacked a fierce and decisive aura.

As for Gu Man, she looked a little lazy. Whenever someone came, she would find their acupuncture points and poke them. Then, they would fall to the ground and be unable to move.

When those people did not pounce on her, she stood there quietly, looking bored.

The stall not far away was still open. The affected stall owners rolled the goods to the side and continued to sell things quietly, as if the fight here did not exist.

In just a few minutes, the gray-robed men were lying on the ground, but Gu Man and the other two were unharmed.

Bai Yun didn’t forget to praise Gu Man. “Gu Man, you used your needle well. It worked in one move. Most importantly, it doesn’t seem to take much effort.”

“Mm,” Gu Man replied calmly.

Bai Yun was speechless.

Bai Yun wanted to say, “Please, be humble.”

Xiang Yin looked at Bai Yun and knew what he was thinking. He couldn’t help but want to laugh. He wanted to pat Bai Yun’s shoulder and say, “You’ll get used to it slowly.”

Just as the three of them were about to leave, Old Master Cui rushed over with a group of people.

Some people pulled the people on the ground away and made way for Old Master Cui to walk in front of Gu Man.

Looking at the three of them, Cui Lao hurriedly apologized, “Young people, thank you! I was caught up inside just now and couldn’t make it in time. Fortunately, you’re fine. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know what to do.”

“We’ve already thought about the consequences when we chose to remind you. It’s still within our acceptable range,” Xiang Yin said calmly.

“Good, young people are bold.” Cui Lao couldn’t help but praise. “It’s rare to see such young people who dare to stand up and take responsibility.”

Cui Lao looked at Gu Man. “Gu Man, are you alright?”

Gu Man shook her head.
