The plump, fair-skinned middle-aged man was none other than Bao Datong, the Celestial Secret Pavilion's Wind Whisperer, whom he had encountered previously.
However, at that time, Gu Yuan was disguised as Yan Shisan, not in his current identity.
Just as Gu Yuan looked at Bao Datong, Bao Datong seemed aware and turned his gaze towards him.
Upon seeing Gu Yuan, his eyes lit up, and he hurried forward a few steps, cupping his hands in greeting, "Could it be Fellow Daoist Gu from Medicine King Mountain before me?"
Gu Yuan displayed surprise, pretending not to recognize him, and asked, "Who are you?"
Bao Datong laughed harmlessly, "I, Bao Datong, am the Wind Whisperer of the Celestial Secret Pavilion. My information is slightly more informed than the average person, so I'm able to recognize you. Please, Fellow Daoist Gu, do not mind."
"Ah, so it's a fellow Daoist from the Celestial Secret Tower."
