"Gu Xiu, you ruined my destiny and cut off my future. I never want to see you again for eternity!"

"I won't kill you today just because I remember the friendship we had five hundred years ago."

"But from now on."

"I will hate you for the rest of my life, and I will curse you to be trapped in reincarnation for eternity, to die without a burial place for eternity!!!"

Late at night, in a cave in the forest.

Gu Xiu suddenly opened his eyes, sat up and wiped his forehead, only to see that it was already wet with cold sweat.

"Did you dream about people from Qingxuan Holy Land again?" Gu Xiu sighed, feeling a little unable to calm down, so he could only say softly:

"I am worthy of no one in my life."

"Ashamed."

"only myself!"

After saying these words, the fluctuation in my heart finally began to disappear.

but.

Although his mind calmed down, Gu Xiu was sure that he still thought of Qin Moran, who five hundred years ago loved to recite poems and excerpts from articles against him.

Then, he thought about Qin Moran's various attitudes towards him in the past three years.

Shaking his head, Gu Xiu said to himself:

"Although I ruined an opportunity for you, I only wanted to save you."

"Our fate in this life has ended."

"Since then."

“We don’t owe each other anything!”

As soon as these words came out, Gu Xiu's mood was completely calm, without any fluctuation, and he even thought of Qin Moran again.

There will no longer be any distracting thoughts.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps was heard, but after a moment, Ye Hongling came back with a red tassel spear and said excitedly:

"We have completely thrown away the enemy now!"

Three kills since the moonlit night.

Five days have passed now.

In the past five days, Gu Xiu and Ye Hongling had been running and hiding in the forest, and encountered several enemy invaders along the way.

But every time I passed it without any danger.

As for the poison in Ye Hongling's body, all the poison was removed on the third day of the two's escape. The enemy may have noticed it, so there were obviously fewer pursuits in the next two days.

Here we are today.

He has never seen an enemy before.

Just now, Ye Hongling went out to check the situation and had determined that no one was following her around.

this means.

They successfully broke through and got rid of the people behind them!

This made Ye Hongling breathe a long sigh of relief and become extremely happy, but she only glanced at Gu Xiu.

have to.

Not surprisingly, this person was still the same as before, with a face as pale as water, as if nothing could touch his mood.

To be honest, Ye Hongling is a little used to it.

At this time, seeing that Gu Xiu's expression was still cold, she was not discouraged. Instead, she took out a few hares that had been cleaned:

"My benefactor, I specially caught a few hares. Today we will treat them well and give them a toothpaste. I will also let you try my craftsmanship."

They had been on the run for five days, sleeping and eating in the open.

Don't say you've eaten well.

It would be nice to be full.

Gu Xiu did not refuse, but he still continued to use the affinity of heaven and earth to sense the surrounding situation.

In case of danger.

Ye Hongling didn't know this. At this moment, she put a few hares on the fire and took out the condiments:

"Benefactor, do you have any special taste requirements?"

"I'm not picky about food, I can eat whatever I want." Gu Xiu replied.

"Yeah." Ye Hongling nodded, and after waiting for a while, she finally couldn't help but ask: "Benefactor, where are you going on this trip?"

"Not going anywhere, just strolling around."

This answer made Ye Hongling roll her eyes. In the past five days, her understanding of Gu Xiu was still zero.

at this point.

This can be seen from the fact that she keeps calling her Gu Xiu Enren.

I don't even know his name. I don't know where he comes from, where he's going, what his level of cultivation is, or what sect he's from.

She did ask for his name, but Gu Xiu's answer was only one sentence.

"You and I are just a transaction, nothing worth remembering."

These words made Ye Hongling give up the idea of ​​continuing to inquire.

Soon, several hares were cooked. Ye Hongling suddenly asked: "My benefactor, you seem to have never asked, who is the person who is chasing me?"

"I'm not interested." Gu Xiu shook his head.

"Why?"

But Gu Xiu replied: "As an Independent Cultivator, you must have the consciousness of an Independent Cultivator. Being too curious is not a good thing."

"Do you have any friends?"

"Used to have."

"before?"

Gu Xiu didn't answer.

Ye Hongling was extremely curious. The more she interacted with Gu Xiu in the past few days, the less she understood, and the more she became curious about him.

The white-haired Independent Cultivator in front of me seems to be full of countless secrets.

But she does know the rules.

No further questions were asked.

But Gu Xiu suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Someone is coming."

Um?

Ye Hongling's expression suddenly became tense, but after a moment, after hearing a dull tapping sound, Ye Hongling's expression became relieved again:

"It's the sound of barefooted Wuzui's hooves, he should be my classmate!"

really.

Not long after, three people and three cavalry arrived near the cave. Ye Hongling had left a special mark before.

Guide them here.

Seeing that it was indeed one of their own, Ye Hongling walked out first. When the three people saw Ye Hongling, they also came over immediately:

"Hong Ling, are you okay?"

"Is Junior Sister Ye injured?"

"The subpoena said that the Chishui Sect is after you. Why did they suddenly attack you?"

These three people are not weak in strength.

In particular, one of the middle-aged men exuded an unrivaled aura of power.

It’s Gold Core!

The other two people next to them are also not weak in strength, and they have the same foundation building cultivation level as Ye Hongling.

While the three of them were reminiscing with Ye Hongling.

Gu Xiu's attention was not focused on the three of them. Instead, he looked at the horses under the three seats.

The war horse was completely black, with red flames burning on its feet. It would leave a special mark wherever it passed.

This is a monster unique to Tiance Mansion. Although the foundation-building monks can already fly with weapons, the Gold Core can even fly through the void.

But Tiance Mansion's mount is not only not slow at all, but also has the blessing of martial arts when fighting the enemy.

Very mysterious.

"Uncle, two senior brothers, Rong Hongling will explain the matter of Chishui Gate in detail when we go back." After Ye Hongling said a few words, she thought of Gu Xiu next to her:

"This is the benefactor who rescued me this time. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid I would really have to confess to the Tianqi Mountains."

For a moment.

The three of them also noticed Gu Xiu.

Although they were all a little curious as to how a third-level Qi Refining monk could rescue Ye Hongling, they still nodded politely to Gu Xiu.

One of the young cavalrymen with a handsome face couldn't help but frowned when he saw Ye Hongling and Gu Xiu standing so close, but he didn't say much, and instead approached Ye Hongling with a look of concern. In front of Hong Ling:

"Junior sister, are you injured?"

"Thank you, Senior Brother Zhao, for your concern. Hong Ling has recovered a lot." Ye Hongling subconsciously avoided him, not giving the other party a chance to get close to her.

This subconscious move made Senior Brother Zhao frown even more.

Especially when he saw Ye Hongling moving away from him but approaching Gu Xiu, he couldn't help but glance at Gu Xiu.

"Chishui Gate has taken action against our people in Tiance Mansion. This matter is of great importance. We should go back and report the matter as soon as possible."

The Gold Core monk on the side spoke.

The three of them immediately mounted their horses.

Senior Brother Zhao was the first to send an invitation to Ye Hongling: "Junior sister, come ride with me."

"Thank you for your kindness, senior brother. Honglian will just follow you." Ye Hongling refused again.

Senior Brother Zhao's face suddenly stiffened, but someone next to him tried to smooth things over: "Haha, Hong Ling is a girl after all. How about this, Hong Ling, you come and ride mine, Senior Brother Zhao and I will ride together."

Said.

He took the initiative to give up the barefoot black horse.

Ye Hongling did not refuse this time, but after she got on her horse, she immediately sent an invitation to Gu Xiu:

"Benefactor, mount your horse and I will take you out of here."

These words made the other three people stunned, especially Senior Brother Zhao, whose eyes instantly looked at Gu Xiu.

But what the three of them didn't expect was.

Gu Xiu did not mount his horse, but frowned and said:

"Don't ride."

Um?

The four of them were stunned.

Ye Hongling smiled and explained: "My benefactor, this is the unique barefoot Wuzui of my Tiance Mansion. It is no slower than the magic weapon of flying in the air, and it saves spiritual power."

"The people who were chasing us before, now that they know your identity and haven't found us for so long, they will definitely think of rushing for help, and they will also think of you having Barefoot Wu Zui." Gu Xiu shook his head and said.

Ye Hongling was surprised: "My benefactor, do you mean that the people who are chasing us haven't given up yet?"

"The reason they take the risk to chase you must be because they have to kill you. In this case, do you think they will give up?" Gu Xiu asked.

this......

Ye Hongling suddenly frowned.

But Gu Xiu spoke again: "And if I were them, I would definitely set an ambush for your barefoot Wu Zui."

These words shocked Ye Hongling:

"Set an ambush?"

However, Senior Brother Zhao on the side couldn't help but sneer: "Do you think that we are all young Qi-refining monks with low cultivation level?"

The other two people also couldn't help laughing.

They felt that Gu Xiu might not even know what kind of cultivation they were, with a Gold Core leading three foundation-building monks.

This force.

It's not something ordinary people would dare to calculate.

Ye Hongling was also curious and looked at Gu Xiu to see what Gu Xiu thought.

but......

"In that case, let's say goodbye." Unexpectedly, Gu Xiu actually said goodbye directly.

He made no excuses.

There was no argument, but a direct distinction.

"benefactor......"

Ye Hongling was a little surprised, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Gu Xiu said:

"I promised to help you once. Now that you have safely gathered with your classmates, I have completed my performance of the contract. Now let's say goodbye."

After saying that, Gu Xiu turned around and left.

The steps are hurried.

Looking at his back, Ye Hongling wanted to stop him, but Senior Brother Zhao on the side was already urging:

"Junior Sister, Chishui Gate is of great importance, let's leave as soon as possible!"

"Yes, junior sister, let's hurry up."

"Although this person's cultivation level is not high, he is extremely vigilant. He will not feel comfortable following us."

The other two people also spoke one after another.

After hearing this, Ye Hongling hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and shouted towards Gu Xiu's back:

"Hong Ling is extremely grateful to my benefactor for rescuing me these past few days. If my benefactor is in trouble in the future, I can go to Tiance Mansion to find Hong Ling!"

"Hong Ling, we will do our best to help!"

After finishing speaking, the three people drove the barefooted Wu Zui away quickly with the sound of horse hooves.

And Gu Xiu on the other side.

After confirming that the three of them had gone far, they suddenly changed direction and moved forward again.

When Independent Cultivator.

You must have the consciousness of being an Independent Cultivator.

Staying alone is always the right choice.

In a situation like the one just now, five hundred years ago, Gu Xiu might have tried to convince the other party with arguments, and might even have had some unwarranted conflict with Senior Brother Zhao.

But now.

Gu Xiu's mentality has changed.

One thing to mention is that Ye Hongling is a pretty good person, but no matter how much she does, there is no need to persuade her.

What's more...

Looking at the sky that was about to get dark, Gu Xiu immediately found a hidden cave to hide in, and then took out a green bamboo pole.

This green bamboo pole can be used for fishing once every ten days.

And now.

Ten days have passed!
