Di Shang used a handkerchief to wipe off the blood at the corner of his mouth. He gently turned around and saw the girl's pair of beautiful eyes staring at him.

Her entire body was covered in mud, as if she had escaped from somewhere. On her right arm was a thick patch of blood, indicating that she was injured, but even though she was in a sorry state, standing in the jungle gave him an indescribable feeling of joy.

He was not a man who would be bewitched by a beauty, but for some reason, he actually felt that her wound was so obstructing, as if, as if, he did not want her to be injured …

"Master …" Seeing that he didn't reply for a long time and only stared blankly at her, the girl gripped the hem of her clothes tightly. She shyly lowered her head and softly said: "Master, do you recognize me? I am Gu Qingcheng from Jade Bamboo Peak."

Gu Qingcheng …

This name gave Di Shang a sense of familiarity. It was as if he had heard this name somewhere before, his slightly wrinkled brows seemed to furrow even deeper.

"Shifu, don't you remember me?" She seemed to be somewhat disappointed, her eyes flashed with a trace of injury. DiShang couldn't remember anything for a moment, he walked up to her side, instantly pulling her arm, and said in a deep voice, "You're injured."

Gu Qingcheng was so scared that she was on the verge of tears. She felt extremely wronged, "Master, I've broken off from my senior brothers and sisters. There are demonic beasts in the forest. I … I've gotten lost …"

As she spoke, the young girl's eyes, which were as beautiful as clear water, were about to tear up. However, as if she was afraid to make her Master angry, she forced her back and obediently let Di Shang bandage her wound.

DiShang carefully used his spiritual power to separate the sticky clothing near the wound, and saw the deep, even wound. His eyes darkened slightly, but the hand holding the medicine did not stop for a moment, gently wrapping it for her.

Gu Hua tilted her head and smiled lightly. Her jade-like face was not that bashful at all. Her bashful appearance was as if she was facing her beloved man.

After taking care of his wounds, Di Shang calmly looked at Gu Qingcheng, "When did you get separated from them?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingcheng's tears flowed. His tear-filled look caused Di Shang to be slightly irritated. It had been a long time since he had such an expression on his face. It was best not to be impatient on the path of cultivation.

Master …" "Halfway through, Senior Apprentice Brother and I met the insect monster, which was menacing and aggressive, and we couldn't be together. Master, we got separated, I was really scared, I was really worried about Senior Apprentice Brother, and so I waited here for them, but they didn't come …

DiShang silently glanced at the wound that she had wrapped up, "Take me to the place where you are separated."

Gu Qingcheng silently lowered her eyes and nodded. "If Master hadn't come, I would have gone as well."

"Yes." Di Shang rolled his eyes, "Lead the way."

Gu Qingcheng turned and walked into the forest, carrying her skirt with each step. Her slim figure was as cute and beautiful as a fairy.

Di Shang silently followed behind her, his eyes looking at her back. His heart began to beat faster and faster, so soft that no one could see it. His cold, emotionless eyes turned gentle.

Di Shang didn't touch the ground, his lips curving up into a smile as he caught up with her step by step. Walking on the edge of her feet, he was so high up in the air that it seemed as if he had turned into a gentle love.

From time to time, Gu Qingcheng would smile at him. The devastatingly beautiful Yanli made her face look exceptionally clear before his eyes. For some reason, he actually heard her own unsteady heartbeat.

"Master, this is the place." When they returned to the place where the poisonous bugs attacked last night, all they could see were piles of bones that hadn't been here before. Even though Gu Qingcheng had made her preparations, her scalp still tingled a little, but knowing that Di Shang was behind her, she could only pretend to be calm, "Master, we are here, but here …"

She herself was particularly vexed, wondering why there were so many human bones in a single night. Clearly, there hadn't been any last night.

"It's an illusion." Di Shang walked up to the dried bones, glanced at those bones not far away and said calmly, "Last night, what you encountered was an illusion, this is the real situation in the forest."

Illusion realm?

Gu Qingcheng was a little surprised, "Then these …"

"They were all people that died from the attacks in the illusion world." Di Shang raised his foot, reached out his slender hand and gently swept across the area in front of his eyes. His eyes shone with a golden light, sweeping across the bones one by one. He could only see endless resentment rising up from the bones, but no trace of vengeful spirits could be seen.

"Let's go." Di Shang quietly retracted his hand, looking at the girl who was standing beside him with her mouth wide open, looking adorably at his movements, a trace of a smile flashed across his lips, "It's nothing."

Gu Qingcheng nodded her head and gently tugged on his sleeve, feeling a little curious, "But why did these people die here?"

These vengeful spirits will not be reincarnated in the place of death because of extreme fear or hatred. Instead, they will remain in the place of death for a long time without dispersing, but the bones that we have been bored with do not have any vengeful spirits. This means that the illusions from before were created to retract our souls.

As she heard those words, Gu Qingcheng seemed to recall something. A faint smile appeared on her beautiful lips. No one knew better than her what exactly had happened.

"Your senior brothers and sisters should be fine." He had sensed the scent of all the Cloud Sect disciples in the forest, but not Gu Hua. The pure power that he had sensed for almost an instant, had suddenly disappeared from that messy place.

No one's scent would disappear so suddenly, unless they were no longer in this world.

Thinking up to here, his eyes darkened. That girl was the most special child he had ever seen. Losing such a disciple was truly a pity in his heart.

"Master, what's wrong?"

The girl put her face in front of him. Her beautiful face interrupted all of his thoughts. He inwardly shook his head and gently held the girl's hand that was holding his clothes in his palm. His eyes were calm and distant.

"Master, are we still going to look for Senior Brother and the others?"

"There's no need. Disciples from the Yun Sect won't be in trouble so easily. Furthermore, they each have their own life protecting magical equipment, so there's no need to worry."

Gu Qingcheng nodded, a sweet smile on her face, "That's good then."
