“Do you know who my father is? My father… won’t let go of anyone who has harmed me. No matter who it is!”
So, what was there for her to be afraid of?
Gu Yiyi closed her eyes, her delicate and pretty face seemed determined to stare death in its face. The corner of her lips curled up into a mesmerizing smile.
In the breeze, her hair was moving lightly. Her expression was one of peace and calm.
At this moment…
A gust of wind blew, carrying over a familiar scent.
The pain she was anticipating did not appear. Instead, she fell into a warm embrace.
In the night breeze, she gently opened her eyes. Dark hair brushed past her face and a dignified, handsome face entered her vision.
“Second… Second Uncle?”
Mu Qingyin’s carried the maiden’s body, his eyes cold, quickly dodging the swords in front of them.
Gu Yiyi’s fingers tightly gripped onto Mu QingYin’s sleeve, her voice nervous. “Second Uncle, why are you here?”
Mu Qingyin lowered his eyes, his emotions unfathomable.
“I have been looking for you for a year now.”
Finally… he had found her…
Not knowing how it felt like a jot of current rushed through Gu Yiyi’s heart. Her heart was beating abnormally fast and her pretty little face was red. In Mu Qingyin’s embrace, she felt very safe.
Zheng Tianyu’s eyes were cold. He walked over and arrived in front of Mu Qingyin in an instant.
Bang!
His palm collided with Mu Qingyin’s in the air. Instantly, Mu Qingyin took a few steps back, a trickle of blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.
“Second Uncle!”
The Gu Yiyi before had always been under Gu Shi’s protection. Having never been harmed, she naturally did not have the determination to become stronger.
Even when she entered this secret realm, still no one had hurt her.
Until this moment…
She suddenly understood—how weak she was and that she had even gotten so many people in trouble!
“Second Uncle, you should leave. You are not the opponent of these Tianyue Kingdom’s people. Go back and look for my father, let him come and save me.” A big smile appeared on Gu Yiyi’s face, yet her voice was incredibly determined.
All those years, she was fat and could not cultivate while her second uncle’s cultivation was slow due to his body’s condition.
She did not know what her second uncle had faced in this one year that caused him to increase his strength at such incredible speed.
But she knew…
She could not let Second Uncle die in this place.
Now, the only people who could save her would her father or Xiao Qing!
Mu Qingyin hesitated for a moment. He really wanted to tell this silly girl that it was impossible for Gu Shi to come and save them as he could not even enter this secret realm.
But now was not the time he could explain. Zheng Tianwu’s sword suddenly approached, and very quickly arrive before their eyes.
Mu Qingyin quickly retreated, yet the tip of the sword still appeared before him. Blood flowed out from his shoulders and his handsome face lost all color.
“Second Uncle!”
Gu Yiyi’s eyes turned red. She glared at Zheng Tianwu with rage in her eyes.
Zheng Tianwu continued to approach with a cold smile. His footsteps were incredibly slow. Each step heavy, crushing against Gu Yiyi’s heart.
“Marquis!”
Suddenly, a voice full of urgency sounded caused Zheng Tianwu to stop in his tracks.
Zheng Tianwu turned his head and coldly looked at the guard who was rushing toward him with an ugly face. “What’s the matter?”
“Lady Yuan… Lady Yuan was pushed by the young earl and now she is still unconscious.”
“What?”
Zheng Tianwu’s face changed drastically and he was no longer bothered with Mu Qingyin and his partner. However, he also did not want to let these people go, so he shouted, “Elder Gao, these two shall be handed to you for disposal. I want to see their corpses tomorrow!”
