"Ah Xiu?" Mu Xiaoling called out to him from within his sea of consciousness.

Moments later, Gu Xiu's eyes slowly opened. At first, it was moist, but soon after, he stood up and shook his body, transforming into a young man with silver hair and a snow-white robe.

"Master?" Gu Xiu Hu blinked and immediately felt the surrounding environment. He helplessly sighed, "Master, why are you still so careless."

"Surprise." Mu Xiaoling awkwardly replied.

While they were talking, it was not peaceful outside either.

"Let's see where you can run to this time," Commander Hu said.

Tang Ling scolded him, "You damned fool, you already said we were wronged. Last night we were all resting in your master Ya's house, not even half a step away from it. How could we have come out to kill someone?"

"Who knows what methods you use to avoid Young Master Ya's eyes and ears?" Hu Xuan didn't believe him and said, "Why are you saying such nonsense? Why aren't you giving up? Come back with me and plead guilty to the mayor. Wait for him to send the message!"

"I'm so pissed." Tang Ling only felt that she was talking to a stupid cow, admitting her own death.

"Attack!" At Commander Hu's command, everyone moved and attacked the three people.

Tang Ling and Qi Tai's faces turned slightly pale. They knew that they couldn't beat Mu Xiaoling, but they still stood behind her without moving an inch away from her. The three of them had their backs facing the battle.

"You overestimate yourself." Commander Hu sneered.

It was as if he had already seen people tied up and thrown into dungeons, seen them plead guilty and fight for their lives.

However, at this moment, a change occurred.

"Ah Xiu!" Mu Xiaoling didn't chant any incantations and only called out the name of Gu Xiu Hu. In the next moment, a huge twin tailed fox appeared in the middle of the courtyard. Its huge body sent all the soldiers flying.

The four stars of the Ancient Cultivator Fox that had been purified by the Merciless Immortal Dew were even larger than before. Its fur was snow-white, and there was even an ancient domineering aura surrounding it, making people want to kneel down and kowtow to it.

Mu Xiaoling carried the stunned Tang Ling and Qi Tai to the fox and said, "Let's go, Ah Xiu."

Gu Xiu roared into the sky and flung Commander Hu to the side with his tail. Then he leaped into the air and without even using any special techniques, just his body alone was enough to make everyone fear him. The fastest was like the wind and he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Commander Hu stared at the fox until it disappeared in disbelief. This was the first time he felt fear, "Then …" "What is that …"

But no one answered him.

In the Feng Clan's mansion, Feng Jiuyang stood on the roof and watched the situation unfold. He didn't interfere with anything, but the moment he saw the enormous twin tailed fox appear, he was also shocked, "I didn't think that there would be an ancient fox left in this world."

He looked at the three tiny figures on the fox's back, regretting his decision for the first time in his life. A person who could tame an ancient fox was no ordinary person, and after arriving in the middle realm, it would only be a matter of time.

That day, the portraits of Mu Xiaoling, Tang Ling, and Qi Tai filled every street and alley. As long as the three of them showed themselves, everyone would recognize them.

In fact, the four were hiding in the backyard of a brothel.

This brothel was called the Hundred Blossom House. Although the matters of the demon race had caused a storm throughout the city, it did not affect the business of the Hundred Flower Hall. On the contrary, its business was even better than before.

There was an abandoned courtyard in the backyard of Hundred Flowers Tower. Previously, there was a girl who died there. It was not very clean so it was abandoned. It became a temporary hiding place for the four of them.

As for why there were four of them, it was because the ancient cultivator fox was there too.

Mu Xiaoling was surprised as she didn't know if it was because of the increase in her cultivation or some other reason, but even though Gu Xiu was fighting, he didn't consume her true essence. Instead, the other martial artists also began to absorb the spirit energy from the air and turned them into their own true essence.

This meant that even if Gu Xiu Hu left her Beast Repellent Space, he would still be able to cultivate on his own.

However, he had never heard of this kind of situation before. Even Gu Xiu Hu was quite surprised as this kind of thing had never happened in the world before. However, after being surprised, he quickly thought of a reason and asked, "Master, have you ever broken the rules?"

Mu Xiaoling asked curiously, "Why do you ask?"

To put it bluntly, the connection between master and beast pet is a kind of rule. If someone breaks this rule, then they would have the right to establish a new rule. This was the only possibility Gu Xiu had after thinking about it, and it was true that something like this had happened in the ancient times.

"In the ancient times, there was a person named Lu Qing. He was a martial artist, but her wife was an ordinary person with no martial spirit talent, her lifespan was short, and in the end, Lu Qing used some unknown method to break the rules and re-bestow talent to his wife. From then on, the two of them cultivated at a rapid pace, and there were no rules that could restrict them, until... "Disappeared …" As Gu Xiu spoke, his voice became lower and lower.

Mu Xiaoling was surprised. "Disappeared?"

"Rumor has it that their power has already surpassed the War God's, and that they have become an intolerable existence in the Three Realms. As a result, they were expelled and never returned." Gu Xiu paused and then explained, "Of course, this is only a legend."

"I've broken the rules." However, this was the first time that Mu Xiaoling realized the seriousness of this matter. "I've contracted with Xiao Yu and now he's in the Beast Repellent Space."

"What!" Gu Xiu said in disbelief, "Master, you have a contract …" "People?"

Mu Xiaoling nodded seriously.

Gu Xiu was silent. This matter had exceeded his knowledge. He didn't know if it was good or bad, but since ancient times, there were very few people who could break the rules, and each situation was completely different. There was no possibility for him to learn from them.

"Don't even think about it. Let's just take things one step at a time." Mu Xiaoling had thought things through and she didn't regret it. She couldn't just watch Xiao Yu die.

Gu Xiu let out a long sigh, "That's all we can do, but if there's anything wrong, Master will definitely say it."

At this moment, someone knocked on the door. It was Qi Tai.

"Lady Mu, the meal is ready. Please come out to eat with Teacher Xiu."

"Coming." Mu Xiaoling and Gu Xiu opened the door. There was a table in the courtyard with quite a number of dishes and wine on it. Tang Ling said, "I was afraid that someone would notice me lighting a fire here and specially went to the kitchen to cook."

After the meal, the four of them did not move as they continued to sit around the table. Tang Ling looked at this and that and could not hold it in any longer, "We are always like this, hiding is not a big deal."

Qi Tai shook her hand, "Don't be anxious, Lady Mu must have made arrangements."

Mu Xiaoling said, "You guys wait here. Ah Xiu and I will go to the City Lord's Mansion to take a look."
