Luo Hao ignored Qiu Mo's question and also walked to the window. Under the night sky, his white robe was extremely eye-catching, as if it was incompatible with the pitch-black and empty world outside.

"It's been a long time since a vampire appeared in the Martial City. Gu Nian, is your intuition right?"

Luo Hao's voice sounded. Gu Nian's eyes lit up as she replied, "I can even recognize him if he's burned to ashes. Let alone committing another crime, I might even be more familiar with his aura than he is."

Luo Hao looked at Gu Nian doubtfully, as if he had something to say, but for some reason, he still didn't say it.

Gu Nian closed the window and turned to look at Qiu Mo. Qiu Mo noticed the coldness in Gu Nian's eyes.

"The aura of someone else is on the vampires, and I also sensed it from Miss Qiu Mo and the red cultivator."

Qiu Mo panicked upon hearing Gu Shenwei's words. He immediately asked, "Are you saying that I and Hong Xiu are also the target of that vampire?"

Gu Nian heard this and waved his hand, explaining, "That's not too fast. Vampires usually act at night, so it's unlikely for them to go out during the day. The vast sea of people is the same for vampires."

"Moreover, in a situation where vampires are extremely hungry, they would usually not choose to eat. They wouldn't choose to taste anything at all, but …"

Staring at Qiu Mo, he said, "But there's no lack of high-leveled vampires. Those vampires usually don't kill people easily, so even if they do, they kill people that suit their tastes and are picky about it."

Under Qiu Mo's panicking gaze, Gu Nian continued, "Miss Qiu Mo, you can rest assured that with my understanding of this vampire, he is not considered a noble vampire."

Qiu Mo couldn't relax at all. She hoped that Gu Shenwei was a noble vampire and was picky in taste. She had a bad temper and a bad character, so she couldn't pick him.

As the three of them talked, the red cultivator finally woke up. He was stunned when he woke up and asked with narrowed eyes, "Why are we all here? What's the point of not sleeping?"

Qiu Mo turned his head and gave Gu Nian a look. He hurriedly explained, "Nothing, I just met a vampire. They were worried about us, so they came."

Qiu Mo spoke calmly. After the newly awakened Hong Xiu heard this, it took him a long time to react. He then exclaimed in a low voice, "What!"

Hearing the whole story to Hong Xiu, his face turned black and white. He opened his mouth wide for a long time, but didn't close it. When he saw this, he snickered.

"If Miss Qiu Mo doesn't mind, you can follow Ah Luo and I to investigate the vampire. Anyway, this hotel is no longer safe."

Hearing Gu Shenwei's words, Qiu Mo immediately became spirited. However, she found that Hong Xiu was more spirited than her, so she immediately jumped up. "Okay, I'll go with Lil 'Mo."

Qiu Mo felt shocked and helpless. She was the boss of a small antique shop and she really didn't want to know about these things. Furthermore, she didn't want to get involved with things that shouldn't belong to her.

After cleaning up the items with the red cultivator, he followed Gu Nian and Luo Hao out of the hotel. Luo Hao was walking in front of the hotel with a cold expression, as if he was very unhappy.

Qiu Mo was not happy either. He had never seen a cold and aloof person like Luo Hao. The world was big, and although there were birds, people like Luo Hao were really annoying and strange when faced with human nature.

The sky was brightening as Qiu Mo's stomach rumbled. Seeing that none of the people beside him had any intention of eating, he restrained himself.

Besides being hungry, Qiu Mo's brain never stopped working. The things that happened in the past few days were really too inconceivable. On this trip to Mao Mountain, the situation seemed to have become even more confusing.

Qiu Mo was even more curious to know the truth behind the entire incident. Although he was inexplicably afraid and fearful, he was still unable to suppress the surging curiosity in his heart.

He took a few steps to Gu Nian's side and lowered his voice, asking, "Little Daoist, can I ask you a question?"

Gu Nian turned to look at Qiu Mo. Her eyes were filled with gentleness and her voice was pleasant to hear. Qiu Mo thought to himself, "I wonder how many times stronger he is than that Luo Hao."

"Do not hesitate to ask, as long as it is a question I can answer."

Qiu Mo hesitated for a moment. In her heart, she had many questions that she could not understand. At this moment, she did not know which was the best choice.

"When we were at the hotel, you said that red cultivator and I had that vampire's aura. What's going on?"

After Gu Nian heard this, she lightly said "oh" without any hesitation and explained to Qiu Mo, "If I'm not wrong, the night before we came to Mao Mountain, you were with Ah Luo."

Qiu Mo was shocked. He opened his mouth and looked at Luo Hao who was walking in front, seemingly unaware of what was happening. Then, he nodded towards Gu Nian. "Exactly."

"But I think you should have called the police when you left the scene."

Gu Nian stopped and said, "But since Luo didn't say anything, I think the police would've been in trouble."

For some reason, Qiu Mo started to feel fear. The two people beside her were simply too mysterious, to the point that she was somewhat afraid of them.

Gu Nian saw Qiu Mo's pale face and immediately consoled him, "Actually it's nothing, think about what happened later on. Since the vampire has a scent, it means that after you leave, the vampire sucked the man's blood. When the time comes for the police to go to the scene of the crime, it will eventually become a troublesome and strange case."

Qiu Mo was relieved. The only problem now was the vampire. She did not want to have any problems with her safety in this peaceful world.

"Is Miss Qiu Mo afraid?"

Luo Hao, who was walking in front of her, suddenly turned around when she just said that. The corner of his mouth curled up into an intriguing smile of ridicule.

Qiu Mo's anger was instantly roused. He said in an extremely unfriendly tone, "Not only is Gu Nian handsome, but her personality is also extremely gentle. She doesn't seem like some people. She's so cold that it makes people hate her."

Hearing Qiu Mo's words, the peaceful atmosphere suddenly turned serious. Luo Hao's face stiffened, but he did not seem angry, "The gap between people is not superficial, it's connotation, yet the words spoken are full of vulgarity. It's not a good thing either."

"You! Who are you calling vulgar? "

Qiu Mo almost exploded out of anger. The more he looked at Luo Hao, the more he felt angry, and the more he wanted to vent out all the grievances he had suppressed in his heart.

If not for Gu Nian and Hong Xiu being there, Qiu Mo and Luo Hao would have already started arguing.

When Gu Nian saw this, she looked a little weak. She looked at Luo Hao as if she wanted to say something, but she swallowed it back down.

The four of them left the town. In less than half an hour, the sky outside had already brightened up. The scorching sun was rising as it baked the morning dew.

Qiu Mo found a taxi and was about to part ways with Gu Nian Luo Hao. They returned to their antique shop, but Qiu Mo didn't care where they went.

But unexpectedly, Gu Nian also pulled Luo Hao into a taxi. Without waiting for Qiu Mo to refuse, Gu Nian said, "We've arrived at Mao Mountain and have nowhere to go. We just happened to meet Miss Qiu Mo. I wonder if you can stay with me for the time being."

As Gu Nian spoke, he glanced at Luo Hao, who was sitting on the side with a cold expression, and smiled at Qiu Mo. He then continued, "Let Ah Luo repay the debt."

"Careful, don't go too far."

Luo Hao finally spoke. However, other than indifference, there was nothing else on his face.

Gu Shenwei looked as if he had gotten used to it, still smiling. "As long as Luo Yuan doesn't overdo it, I'll be depending on him for the next few days. Take care of him when you go down the mountain for the first time."

Luo Hao didn't have any intention of arguing with Gu Nian. Instead, he turned his head and looked out of the window.

Qiu Mo sat in the front passenger seat. Hong Xiu, this damned girl, understood that other than the driver, only four people could sit in a taxi.

The red cultivator sat in the back seat, next to the door. As for Qiu Mo, he chose the first passenger seat, a good spot that he was determined to pay for.

Leaning his head on the back seat, Qiu Mo's heart was still thumping after last night's scare.

Looking at the scenery outside the car window, Qiu Mo's gaze shifted. Coincidentally, he saw Luo Hao in the back seat through the reflection of the glass in front of him.

Although this guy didn't talk much and made people angry with his words, Qiu Mo seemed to have never carefully observed Luo Hao's facial features.

Although this guy was extremely annoying, he had extremely good facial features and was an extremely good person.

Involuntarily, Qiu Mo became entranced by what he saw. He trembled slightly, as if his heart had been affected by an unknown place. He felt that it was extremely strange.

Luo Hao's face was expressionless, as if only his eyes were blinking. Only his long black eyelashes seemed to be responding to Qiu Mo's infatuation.

"Have you seen enough?"

Luo Hao's voice sounded from inside the car, breaking the tranquility of the car. Qiu Mo realized that Luo Hao was looking at him through the car window.

Startled, he quickly turned his head, only to hear Hong Xiu's laughter coming from the back seat.

He could not help but blush, feeling ineffably angry. This fellow really did not give him face, he really was not a friendly person.

"What are you laughing at, you damned girl!"

Qiu Mo was so angry that he wanted to reach out and grab Hong Xiu. He wanted to punish her properly, but Hong Xiu flapped her arms to resist and hid behind Gu Nian while hugging her waist.

At this moment, the atmosphere seemed to have frozen again. Gu Nian no longer had a bright smile on her face, but a serious and serious expression.

"Miss Hongxiu, can you let go of your hand?"

As Gu Nian spoke, his gaze was fixated on Qiu Mo's face, as if he was observing Qiu Mo's emotions.
