As soon as Luo Huaiyang spoke, the hall fell silent. He continued, "I have already sent people to investigate Gu Zhan's background overnight. There's no real backstory—he's just a killer.
From the materials I've gathered, this Gu Zhan is not exactly a paragon of justice. He killed the brother of Qi Baiyu, the Alliance Leader of the Celestial Sword Alliance, in Yundong, and was chased to the ends of the earth by the Celestial Sword Alliance before he escaped to Yunxi.
However, he was rather lucky. When Qi Baiyu pursued him to Canglan Dao, he happened to run into a conflict between Chengyang Marquis's Mansion and the Dragon King. Qi Baiyu followed them across the border and was stopped outside Canglan Dao by the Dragon King, and couldn't enter. He then found his way to Bu'Er Inn in Thousand Lights Town and established this foothold in Pingyang City through these connections."
The people in the hall laughed at this.
