Gu Qing's footsteps paused, she turned her head to the side, and their gazes met in the air, a bit of fiery light shooting out from their eyes.
Gu Qing smiled slightly, "I'm sorry, I never give in anything that belongs to me!"
With that, regardless of the change in Gu Lee's expression, she started to walk forward.
After more than ten days of the competition, nearly half of the disciples from the various sects had been eliminated. Although the Xuanhua Sect was from a famous sect, eight people had already been eliminated, leaving behind only twelve people. Those who were eliminated even included Wang Lin.
When Wang Lin found out that Gu Qing had won the qualification to participate in the next round, he couldn't wait to appear in front of Gu Qing.
"Junior Sister Zi Jin, I heard that you defeated Chilian Zi, is that true?" Wang Lin opened his eyes wide, as if he was looking at a monster, and sized Gu Qing up from top to bottom.
Gu Qing smiled, "You are right, I did indeed defeat Chilian Zi, after all, I am the one who severely injured and lost the spot."
Wang Lin "tsked" and sighed: "Junior Sister Zi Jin, I didn't expect you to be so valiant. Don't tell me you don't know Chilian Zi's name? "
"I've heard of something before this."
"Since that's the case, don't you know that you are famous throughout the sects now? All of the cultivators here have raised your danger level to a level even more terrifying than Chilian Zi's. "
Gu Qing pursed her lips and smiled, "Isn't that great? "It would be best if my opponent directly admitted defeat in fear of me."
Wang Lin laughed for a moment, then sighed and shook his head, "Junior Sister Zi Jin, you're still the best. Senior Brother, I'm not fated to enter the Ancient Ruins Secret Realm this time!"
Gu Qing knew that everyone was fighting for the right to enter the Ancient Ruins.
She did not want the Wang Lin she rescued to hate herself for that, so she said: "How do you know that there won't be any good opportunities for you in the future, Senior Brother? If she was not lucky, in the event of the next match, she would be matched against the recently famous Fallen Immortal Mountain female cultivator, Gu Lee. I am afraid that Junior can only return to the sect to continue her cultivation. "
Hearing her words, Wang Lin's thoughts seemed to loosen a little, and her expression became a lot better. She laughed: "Gu Lee might be powerful, but in the future, your reputation will definitely be no less than hers."
As the two kept on talking, another person appeared outside the cave. Gu Qing looked up and saw that it was Yuan Lang, so she said, "Martial Uncle Yuan Lang."
Yuan Lang walked in with widened strides, glanced at Wang Lin, then laughed brightly: "I heard that Junior Master and Nephew defeated Chilian Zi today. I, Martial Uncle, am here to congratulate you."
"Martial Uncle must be joking, we're just entering the next round. It's hard to say whether or not we'll be able to get a placing." Gu Qing was obviously very calm, which was outside of Yuan Lang's expectations.
Of course Gu Qing was calm, because she hadn't completely used all of her skills. Although Chilian Zi was powerful, she wasn't enough to make her go all out, and he wasn't too happy about her victory.
Wang Lin knew that Yuan Lang was here specifically to look for Gu Qing, so he said to the two of them: "Martial Uncle, Junior Sister, you two take your time to chat, I need to go back and cultivate."
Yuan Lang nodded and replied, "En, you're not bad too. Cultivate well, next time during the event I'll bring you along."
Wang Lin acted as if he was flattered and hurriedly nodded in agreement before he exited Gu Qing's cave.
"Is there anything else that the Martial Uncle is looking for me for?" Gu Qing retracted her gaze from Wang Lin's back and turned to ask Yuan Lang.
Yuan Lang stared at her and laughed: "Why can't I look for Zi Jin if there's nothing else?"
"Of course." Although he said that, Gu Qing was cursing in her heart: What are you looking for me for?
Yuan Lang was Yun Tian's good friend, she really wanted to stay far away from him. However, this Yuan Lang was against her, and he would appear in front of her from time to time.
Yuan Lang "chuckled", "Since that's the case, then I'll come find Zi Jin in the future when there's nothing else to do."
Gu Qing felt that she had smashed her own feet with a rock. If she knew earlier, she would have said, "Of course not!"
"Actually, there's something I need to talk to you about." Yuan Lang laughed and then turned to the main topic at hand.
Gu Qing heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. She was really afraid that Yuan Lang would come looking for her if he had nothing better to do. Her identity would have been revealed too soon.
"What is it?" Martial Uncle, feel free to speak. "
"Follow me first." With that, Yuan Lang reached out and grabbed her hand, walking out of the cave.
Gu Qing frowned, she wanted to retract her hand, but when she raised her head to see that Yuan Lang had already turned around and was walking away, she seemed to not have any other intentions, as she resisted the urge to shake him off, and said to Yuan Lang's back: "Martial Uncle, I will follow you."
Yuan Lang finally reacted and thought that there were a lot of people outside, seeing that it was not good, he laughed and released her hand, "Zi Jin, don't mind me, I was just anxious."
Seeing the other party's reaction, Gu Qing knew that she had forgiven her rudeness. Since the other party didn't say anything, she didn't continue asking as she followed Yuan Lang.
After walking for an unknown period of time, the two of them had already left the Xuanhua Sect's encampment and finally stopped at a mountain peak.
"We're here!" Just then, she felt that walking was too much of a waste of time, so she started to circulate her spirit energy to consolidate the cultivation that she had just gained.
When she raised her head, she saw a white figure standing at the edge of the cliff. The human figure slowly turned his head when he sensed someone approaching.
When Gu Qing saw that back figure, she already knew who it was. She just did not expect Yuan Lang to bring him out to meet Yun Tian.
"Martial Nephew, that's Daoist Chang Hua from Huaqing Palace. Don't just look at his cold face, he's actually very easy to get along with." Probably because he was worried that Gu Qing would be scared, Yuan Lang comforted her first.
Although Gu Qing's emotions were no longer as turbulent as before, when she saw Yun Tian, she was still unable to face it calmly. She really wanted to turn around and run away, but she was afraid that she would arouse their suspicions.
The distance between the three of them was not far, and before long, Yuan Lang arrived in front of Yun Tian with Gu Qing.
Yun Tian's pitch-black eyes swept across Gu Qing's body, and then swept towards his friend with a questioning gaze.
Yuan Lang slightly smiled, he did not immediately give his good friend an explanation, and only said: "Yun Tian, this is my junior nephew Zi Jin."
Zi Jin did not dare to look at Yun Tian, and only nodded lightly.
Yuan Lang felt that his eyes were extremely special. In this world, other than Zi Jin, there was no one else who could remain calm when facing Yun Tian's heavenly appearance right?
When Yun Tian saw his smiling appearance, a complex look flashed across his eyes.
Yun Tian withdrew his gaze and didn't say a word. Yuan Lang had probably guessed what would happen when the two ice cubes collided, so he opened his mouth and said without an awkward expression: "Yun Tian, it's like this, my Junior Sister Zi Jin has been raised to the Later Period of Foundation Stage, if you have the chance to enter the Ancient Ruins, remember to take care of her."
was a little surprised when she heard this. Even though she didn't want to get too close with Yuan Lang, she had always been touched by the fact that Yuan Lang had given her a lot of help within the Xuanhua Sect.
Yun Tian's gaze swept across his good friend's face, then fell onto Gu Qing's face. "Zi Jin, I have some things that I want to say to your Martial Uncle.
Gu Qing was sent flying before she could even get warm, and she was not angry at all. After all, she did not want to approach Yun Tian at this time either. Without any hesitation, he turned around and left.
Yun Tian looked at her decisive turn and lowered his eyes. When Gu Qing's figure disappeared, Yuan Lang unhappily said: "I had a hard time convincing her to come over here, but you just threw her away with a few words."
Yun Tian raised his eyes, stared at Yuan Lang, and said, "Why did you only bring her to see me? You must know that your junior nephew isn't limited to her!"
Yuan Lang did not try to conceal his displeasure and instantly disappeared. He "hehe" laughed: "Can't I be tempted once?"
He was immersed in his own happiness and did not notice the change in Yun Tian's expression. He then continued, "That's right, the reason I brought her to meet you is to tell you that I really like her. If we accidentally get separated within the Ancient Ruins, and you happen to meet her, you should remember to help me take care of her."
"I remember that the final spot has yet to be announced. What makes you think that she has the qualifications to enter?" The usually emotionless Yun Tian suddenly had a hint of anger mixed with it.
But who was Yuan Lang? He immediately felt that something was off with his friend, "Are you alright? What have I done to you? "
"You didn't provoke me." Yun Tian calmed himself down and waited for the emotions to subside before continuing, "She's your martial nephew, you shouldn't be tempted by her."
"Although she's my junior nephew now, with her innate talent, I can't think of any reason why she would be my junior sister in ten years. So you don't have to worry about that."
"Alright, whatever you want!" With that, Yun Tian turned and left, not even giving Yuan Lang the chance to say another word.
"Hey!" Yuan Lang tried to call him back, but the other party completely ignored him, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Yuan Lang curled his lips. How could he not see through his good friend's problems in this period of time? He was astonished in his heart as well, could it be that Dao Yuntian had already fallen for the little girl? Otherwise, how could he cancel his marriage with Yun Yan.
Once Gu Qing left their line of sight, they could not help but speed up their pace. She was really worried that Yun Tian would see her and her miserable state.
But right at that moment, Gu Qing suddenly felt someone behind her, causing her mind to tremble. She initially wanted to take out her treasure to fly back to her cave, but when she used her divine sense to look, she discovered that the one following her was Qinghe.
Her expression changed as she quickly made a decision in her heart.
Qing He saw Gu Qing suddenly stopped in her tracks, and said: "Little cultivator in front, this old man has something to ask you."
Gu Qing's eyes flickered, she was almost certain that Qing He had discovered her identity. After making up her mind, she slowly turned her head, "Senior, I wonder what you want to ask me for …"
