In the dense forest, a young girl wearing a white robe made of lotus flowers walked gracefully between the trees. Behind her were two handsome and elegant youths, one wearing a white robe with clear eyes, and the other with gentle eyes looking at the graceful and beautiful young girl in front of him. From his eyes to the corners of his mouth, they were all smiling as he chased after her without the slightest hesitation.

Dressed in black clothes, the youth in black carried a huge sword on his back that was almost half the size of his body. Dressed in black clothes, the youth in black carried a huge sword on his back that was half the size of his body.

He stared at the youth in white and the young girl chatting merrily with a sweet smile on their faces. A trace of impatience appeared in his eyes. He had nearly had enough of such days!

Suddenly, the image of a person appeared in his mind. That person had never once caused him to feel any sort of emotion. The shadow flashed past, and he almost didn't dare to think about it anymore. He punched his chest with force, and only then was he able to catch up with the young boy and girl who seemed to have forgotten about him.

"Yuhan Yuhan, is there anywhere you want to go?" The girl in white smiled like a flower as she stared at the young man who had been following her the entire time.

Yuhan glanced at the unending journey, mountains after mountains, "Where does Qingcheng want to go?"

Upon hearing these words, Gu Qingcheng frowned as she felt vexed, "The dense forest is too deep, and we can't ride a sword. We don't know how long we'll have to walk. We must be out of the forest soon …"

"Are you tired?" Yu Han said with concern, "If you are tired, I have the strength to carry you on my back."

A hint of a blissful smile appeared on Gu Qingcheng's face as her face flushed red. She was exceptionally beautiful as she replied, "Not yet. If you're tired, I'll have to trouble you …"

"Alright."

The young girl stood on the path in the mountains. She closed her eyes in silence for a moment, then said with an intention of feeling something, "Let's head south." There, she could feel that something was silently calling out to her. This was the Purple Cloud Secret Realm's opportunity; it must be related to her greatly. No matter the reason, she was not allowed to return here empty-handed!

"Then let's go there."

With regards to Gu Qingcheng's decision, Yuhan would never refute it. He only lightly glanced at the silent and taciturn Li Xiaoming who was following his, "I presume Junior Brother Li is the same."

"Xiaoming?" Gu Qingcheng turned her gaze back to the young genius with a gentle gaze as she smiled, "Are you willing?"

Li Xiaoming casually glanced at her, silently nodding his head. He already had no idea what he was doing. Gu Qingcheng could go wherever she wanted to go. If one day he got tired of it, he could just leave.

"That's good," seeing that Li Xiaoming had agreed, Gu Qingcheng's smile became even more radiant, like a blooming spring flower. "We have to hurry out and head south before we ride on the sword again."

The three young boys and girls held hands as they walked step by step towards the rugged rocks. Their black and white figures quickly disappeared into the dense forest.

A light purple figure stopped where they had appeared, followed by an expressionless man in blood-red robes.

Gu Hua silently gazed in the direction that Gu Qingcheng and the rest left in, not bothering to look at Long Jin who was behind her.

Yesterday, after Long Jin said that, she was so scared that she almost peed his pants. In the end, he said — "I'm just teasing you!"

That tone and expression made it seem as if he was looking down on the world with a carefree manner.

The heck, why are you all so nervous?

To meet such an alliance could not be more crazy!

Fortunately, he had promised her that he wouldn't hurt Gu Qiusheng and Ruoxi, and that he would protect them well. In an equal exchange, Gu Qiansheng would definitely become a good prime minister with clean sleeves.

Even if no one reminded him of this, Gu Qiansheng would definitely do it. He wasn't worried about this at all.

Thus, Gu Hua felt that what he said was true, and it was just a joke …

If not, she simply didn't know how to end it.

Since it was all a joke, he probably didn't have to take it to heart.

After calming her emotions, Gu Hua Wei Wei finally decided not to be a turtle. She turned her head to look at Long Jin who had been stabbing her with her cold eyes ever since she had left the pool. She smiled dryly at the man's beautiful phoenix eyes: "We probably need to follow them."

Long Jin stared at her without blinking, as if he wanted to stare into a hole. He really didn't know, if she looked into his eyes like that, would it hurt …

After a long while, when Gu Hua Wei couldn't stand that unspeakable gaze, the man in blood-red clothes smirked and finally let her go. "Okay." Saying that, he walked to Gu Hua Wei Wei Wei's side and took her hand. His fingers tightly wrapped around her, but they were still as cold as ever.

Gu Hua Wei and he walked on the mountain path, where the flowers were gradually blooming. Silence spread between them.

Gu Hua's heart was filled with an unspeakable guilt. She opened her mouth to break the silence. "I'm sorry." As a matter of fact, she didn't think it was right to suspect a man who had thoroughly protected her along the way, but after hearing so many heart-breaking words from her, it was fortunate that Long Jin didn't want to bother with her. If he really was a bad guy, he would have long used the bone whip to dismember her body.

That apology, she should have said, but she never regretted it.

Long Jin tightened and tightened his grip, while cold air flowed freely on the back of her hand. Then, he gently pried open her fingers, one by one, his hands intersecting, palms facing each other, fingers interlocked.

"Don't say that to me." He didn't feel like he had done anything extraordinary. He stretched out his other hand and placed a white jade finger on Gu Hua Wei's lips. He looked into her blank eyes and said, "This was voluntary."

Saying that, she lifted their hands and placed a cold yet hot kiss on the back of her hand. Her eyes were filled with indescribable joy. "I am willing to do anything for you."

Gu Hua looked at her hand, that almost engraved kiss, and that vow. It was as though she had seen a monster, and she almost broke down as she shook off his hand. Her mind was a mess.

She didn't want to stay here. She was scared.

This kind of fear had nothing to do with true fear. Her heart was in a mess, she was in a panic. This feeling scared her.

Whoever said this would feel their heart race.

She didn't dare to face Long Jin like this, he would only make her flee time and time again.

A man in blood-red clothes arrogantly lifted his beautiful phoenix eyes. His eyes were filled with a dark and unfathomable intent!

This was the second time he escaped …

He raised his feet and walked slowly in the wind, not touching the ground at all. Step by step, he headed in the direction the young girl had left in, chasing after her like a ghost.
