So it was...
Ma Zhongguang was a Gu Master from the Southern Border, highly skilled in manipulating Gu. He rarely spoke, not because of a cold temperament, but because his throat nurtured a Gu worm, making speech impossible.
When he spoke, his throat could barely make a sound. He needed to use Inner Qi to stimulate the Gu, causing it to vibrate its wings and produce sounds resembling human speech.
As early as on the Dragon Ship, he secretly set things in motion, preparing for future tracking. After the Dragon Appreciation Banquet, Ma Zhongguang sought out Wen Caishang's whereabouts.
Lately, Wen Caishang traveled openly, her whereabouts unhidden. Ma Zhongguang quickly found her. During their recent conversation, Wen Caishang deliberately remained vigilant, giving Ma Zhongguang no chance to deploy his Gu.
