She lay on the ground, unable to move. After taking half an incense stick of time, her fingers finally began to feel.
She had no choice but to be glad that it was Yun Tian and not a Demonic Beast or someone with ill intentions.
Just as he was fumbling for a healing pellet from the Universe Bag, he heard a familiar voice from behind him, "Why is it that every time I see you, don't you always run for your life in such a sorry state?"
Gu Qing was unable to move, but she was able to recognize the owner of the voice. For some reason, she did not feel any fear at all. Instead, she said to the person that came over, "Then you should come over and think about it. Why is it that every time I see you, I get so unlucky? "That's why I have to stay away from you in the future."
When conversing with the other party, she did not need to worry too much about it. She could do whatever she wanted to do, even if her body was still aching, Gu Qing would not feel it anymore if she was distracted.
"His mouth is still so unforgiving!" Mask Man chuckled as he walked towards Gu Qing and squatted in front of him.
Gu Qing's face was covered in sweat and mud as she looked at his opponent with much difficulty, "Can you feed me a healing pill? If this goes on, even if I don't die, I'll still be crippled!"
"Do you even know the seriousness of the situation?" Mask Man snorted, as though there was a trace of anger in his voice, "Then don't you know how to raise your cultivation before attacking?"
Gu Qing rolled her eyes, "Is this something I can choose? If I don't look for him, then he won't look for me? "
Mask Man's eyes, which were exposed outside of the mask, were shining with a cold light. Although his eyes were extremely beautiful, no one dared to look into them.
Gu Qing was obviously reasonable, but she could not help but feel weak in her heart. At the same time, she wondered, just who was this person? Why did she not even fear the High Ranked Cultivator, and unconsciously retreated under his gaze?
Just then, Gu Qing felt the other side approaching him. She immediately looked at him warily, "What are you doing?"
The other party sneered, "You should take a look at yourself in the mirror. With your appearance, what can I think of you?" After saying that, he stretched out his long and powerful arm and gently pulled her into his embrace.
Gu Qing softly smashed into his broad chest, the sound of his calm and powerful heartbeat resonating in her ears causing her heart to throb inexplicably. But very quickly, she shouted in anger, "What kind of face do I have? What's wrong with my face? Don't want to close your eyes and look! "
Hearing this, Mask Man smiled lightly and decisively closed his eyes.
Seeing that he had really closed his eyes, the anger in Gu Qing's heart grew even more. He really wanted to tear apart his mask and ruthlessly tear apart his face to see just how handsome he was.
None of the girls did not care about their looks, even Gu Qing, who had deliberately made herself look ordinary was no exception.
But right after, Gu Qing found a problem. She had always been calm and collected in front of many people, concealing her true emotions well, but was provoked by the words of Mask Man. She did not try to hide it at all.
Sensing that the person in his embrace had quietened down, Mask Man opened his eyes slightly. Seeing that there was no expression on the pale face under her messy hair, and only the corner of his mouth slightly pursed, he was slightly surprised.
"What's wrong?" The Mask Man asked.
Gu Qing retracted her claws, and said to the Mask Man: "Put me down, I'll heal my injuries here."
Mask Man looked at her suspiciously, and realised that she had regained her usual indifference, as if she was wearing a mask. He snorted coldly, "You still have one last match in a few days, and you're letting yourself recover from your injuries here? are you prepared to give up the chance to enter Ancient Ruins? "
Gu Qing choked, the other party was right, this was not an ordinary injury, even if she used Spiritual Pill s' medicine to recover, it would still be impossible for him to recover eighty to ninety percent without a month.
She gritted her teeth. Since they had reached this stage, giving up the chance to enter the Ancient Ruins was truly a pity!
Mask Man nodded his head and said, "If you want to get a placing, then behave yourself for the next few days!"
Gu Qing originally wanted to resist, but upon thinking that the other party had no malicious intent, coupled with the fact that she was indeed unwilling to give up the chance to enter the Ancient Ruins, she tacitly agreed to the words of the Mask Man.
In the eyes of the Mask Man, Gu Qing was just a kitten with sharp claws.
Mask Man did not return to the various sects' residences with Gu Qing in his arms. The sky gradually darkened, sand flew everywhere, and the Mask Man walked forward step by step with steady but firm steps.
Although Gu Qing was curious as to why the other party would use it to leave, he did not make a sound, and only stared at the figure in front of them.
In the wilderness, a long shadow was stretched out by the setting sun, looking leisurely and beautiful.
After walking for an unknown period of time, when Gu Qing was feeling drowsy, Mask Man suddenly spoke out: "That is the entrance to the Ancient Ruins."
Gu Qing's sleepyhead immediately ran off by more than half. She followed Mask Man's gaze and looked over her shoulder as she saw a huge mountain spread across the wasteland in front of them. There was also a door shining with the light of a mountain between a few large rocks at the foot of the mountain.
"The Ancient Ruins is inside the mountains?" Gu Qing looked at the towering mountain that was illuminated by the setting sun. One side of the mountain was black and the other was bright.
The Mask Man was amused by her question as he laughed, "If the Ancient Ruins were in that huge mountain, wouldn't it be found by the cultivators of this world?"
Gu Qing thought that this was reasonable, with how crazy everyone was towards Ancient Ruins, if this mountain was Ancient Ruins, then even a blade of grass or a flower on the mountain would have been pulled clean by someone.
After Gu Qing finished listening to the other party's words, she did not ignore even a single word that came out of his mouth.
She narrowed her eyes and thought. "This world?"
Hearing that, Mask Man lowered his head and looked at her, but did not provide an explanation. His footsteps did not stop and he quickly walked in front of the Ancient Ruins.
Gu Qing kept tilting her head as she looked back from Mask Man's side. The light behind her became dimmer and dimmer, and only after the Ancient Ruins had completely disappeared from her line of sight did she ask: "Where are you bringing me to?"
"We're almost there!"
Just as she finished speaking, Gu Qing heard the sound of water splashing everywhere. Her heart was filled with questions. Was there even a stream in the Wasteland?
Mask Man carried her and took a step forward, but it was as if Gu Qing came to another world. The surroundings were filled with flowers, birds, fish, trees, and shade, completely out of place from the previous environment. Outside was night, and it was still daytime.
"What is this place?" Gu Qing turned her head and looked around, asking Mask Man.
"My little world." The Mask Man said calmly.
Gu Qing was startled by the answer, she turned her head and looked at him, "Your small world?"
"Yes!" Mask Man replied before he took a step forward and sat down on a large stone by the stream. He closed his eyes and began to meditate.
Gu Qing turned her head and looked around, her heart filled with shock. Just what level of expert was the Mask Man at? Why had she never heard of a monk having his own little world?
This is a magical equipment?
If it was a magic treasure, then it wouldn't be much worse than the spiritual liquid that he could make himself.
"Go and soak in the Spirit Spring." The other party said to Gu Qing without opening her eyes.
Hearing that, Gu Qing's gaze turned and landed on the gurgling flowing water. This... Was it a Spirit Spring?
No wonder the spiritual energy here was so abundant!
Her current condition really required these treasures to nourish and rapidly recover. Thus, without any hesitation, he jumped into the stream.
Just as she dived into the water, there was a 'whoosh' sound and something fell in her direction. Fortunately, it wasn't fast. She reached out her hand and grabbed a snow-white pill.
Mask Man continued to speak with his eyes slightly closed: "Swallowing this pill will help your injuries."
Gu Qing only needed a slight sniff to know that this was not an ordinary pill, the spirit energy emitted by it was countless times denser than any pill she had ever seen.
Even though she knew that the pill was extraordinary, she still needed it a lot. Holding the pill in her hand, she shouted towards the direction of the Mask Man, "Thank you!"
With that, she raised her head and stuffed the pill into her mouth, closed her eyes and slowly submerged his body into the stream. In just a few breaths of time, Gu Qing felt a warm stream spreading out from within his body, flowing through her meridians, the pain in his body gradually lessened.
The Mask Man that was seated cross-legged on the boulder slowly opened his eyes, his gaze landing on Gu Qing's white and shiny face that had been washed by the water of the creek. Although that face was not as stunning as her original one, at this moment, it was emitting a gentle light, causing the corner of his mouth to unconsciously raise slightly.
Gu Qing was continuously being guided by the warm current in her body to recuperate from her injuries, thus she did not notice when Mask Man stood up and left.
The moment Pei An stepped out of the small world, there was already a person drooping his head amidst the cold wind within the darkness.
"Master!" Hee Zhixian lowered his head and called out.
"Hmm, how's the investigation going?" Pei An stared at Hee Zhixian and asked.
"Those people already knew of Gu Qing's existence from, I'm afraid they will not do good to Gu Qing!" Although Hee Zhixian's tone was cold, he couldn't help but think of that extremely special woman. It was a pity that he couldn't control himself, otherwise he really wanted to stay by her side.
"I got it. Continue watching them. Remember, take the pill I gave you once every ten days. Do not let their people discover your existence." Pei An warned.
Hee Zhixian lowered his head even more, "Yes, master, I will be careful."
In Hee Zhixian's heart, although Gu Qing was important, the person who gave him his second life was equally important. If it wasn't for his master, he probably would have already disappeared from this world. Although he did not know the exact identity of his master, he knew how powerful he was.
"Un, go on!" Pei An nodded, seeing Hee Zhixian's figure flash past, disappearing into the darkness, he finally turned and entered his own small world.
Gu Qing was unaware of the passage of time outside. When she woke up from the chaos, she was startled for a moment, and immediately turned her head to look. Seeing that Mask Man was still sitting there, she asked: "How much time has passed?"
"Half a month." Pei An opened his eyes and said to Gu Qing.
"What!" Gu Qing turned pale with fright. She immediately stood up from the water and climbed to the shore with her hands and legs.
"Actually, you don't have to be so anxious. Even though you've been soaking in the water for half a month, only one day has passed outside." Pei An chuckled.
