After eating dinner, they went to rest. Palace Head Zhuoyun needed time to prepare, and they needed it even more. Furthermore, they had to wait for news from Gu Qishao and Ning Cheng.
Gu Qishao had found a tunnel to the underground river on the island and was rushing over to help. The latest news they received was that they had found the secret passage under the karst cave. Based on the amount of time he had, it was about time for him to receive the news.
Previously, no one had been confident about their speculations. However, now that they were sure that the Profound Cloud Water Scripture was in Li Qin's hands, everyone was confident that they had a direction.
There was a sea of ice between the Cloud Realm Continent and the Profound Sky Continent. The sea of ice had a shore to the north and south, but the east-west direction was boundless. At least, before the ice sea was poisoned, no one had been able to reach the ends of the east and west. In other words, the sea of ice was the only way to travel between the two continents. The surface of the sea of ice was only tainted with poison. If there was a waterway under the immeasurably deep ice, then this secret passage would definitely be recorded in the Profound Cloud Water Scripture. In other words, their previous assumption was correct. Li Qin must have controlled this secret passage, and even more secrets, and captured the entire Dragon clan that was hundreds of miles away in the air.
After connecting it with the secret of the Windfire Island, the mystery was about to be revealed. The underground river of Yu Zhou Island must be connected to the water element under the ice sea. Li Qin walked along the secret path, which was to cross the ice sea and reach Yu Zhou Island above the East Sea of the Xuan Kong Continent!
The riddle of the secret way alone was not enough to explain why Li Qin could capture the entire Dragon clan within a hundred miles of the sky! There were bound to be other secrets in this place. Maybe someone from the Hundred Miles Dragon Clan had betrayed them, or maybe Li Qin still had something that they couldn't even imagine.
Of course, Gu Feiyan and the others did not have the time to worry about that anymore! Their urgent goal was to take down the Windfire Island!
Everyone returned to their rooms, leaving behind Gu Feiyan, Jun Jiuchen, and Gu Beiyue. Qin Min and Nian Chen were living in Gu Feiyan's room, so Gu Beiyue naturally lived with them.
Gu Feiyan asked, "Honored tutor, when will Ming Chen wake up?"
Gu Beiyue replied, "The fastest tomorrow, slowest the next day."
Jun Jiuchen was about to open his mouth, but Gu Feiyan hurriedly interrupted him: "Then we won't be able to wake up tonight. You and Aunt Min will rest for the night. "
Gu Beiyue said flatly, "You should get some rest as well."
Gu Feiyan nodded and didn't say anything more. She hastily pulled Jun Jiuchen away. Before Jun Jiuchen could open his mouth to speak, she rushed once more and said in a low voice: "We won't be staying at Jade Flower Hall for the next few days, so don't disturb them! Just be at ease. No matter how deep the misunderstanding between Aunt Min and the Imperial Tutor was, there was no way for them to start a fight. Ming Chen was sick, so it was even more impossible for them to quarrel! "I can guarantee that Aunt Min will wait for the tutor to return to his room!"
Jun Jiuchen looked at the confident look on Gu Feiyan's face, and his originally heavy heart suddenly relaxed. He nodded and followed Gu Feiyan.
Right as Haoyue was in the air, the Jade Flower Hall quieted down.
Gu Beiyue stopped at the stairs, his head lowered in thought. He was originally a quiet person, but now it was much quieter than usual. It was as if he did not belong to this noisy world and had instead formed his own world.
After a long while, he finally walked up the stairs.
He arrived at the door to Qin Min's room and lightly knocked twice. After a while, the door was still silent. He knocked twice more and waited. However, there was still no response from inside the door.
He walked to the side, turned, and stood with his back to her. His back was still straight and he wasn't pressed against the wall. Under the moonlight, this tall and straight figure gave off a feeling other than silence, as if he was somewhat lonely, but also as if he was somewhat helpless. He looked very much like him, but also very unlike him.
Inside the house, Little Smoke seemed to be sleeping soundly. His complexion had already completely recovered. It was quiet, tender, and pure, just like how it was in the beginning of his life. Qin Min was sitting on the edge of the bed, hugging her knees as she silently looked at the tightly shut door.
How could she have gone to sleep?
Gu Feiyan's guess wasn't wrong. She kept watching Little Nian Chen as she waited for Gu Beiyue to arrive. The feeling of waiting was too familiar, as if it had been years ago. She slept with the child, always waiting for him to come back. Until she found out about Nan Chen's disappearance, all peace was broken.
In the silence, time seemed to stop. Otherwise, why did it feel so slow?
Qin Min stared at the door as she bit down on her lower lip.
Finally, she let out a breath of air, got up and left the room. She didn't go out, but stood by the door and said, "Gu Beiyue, I didn't say anything, so you didn't come in?"
She knew he hadn't left. She was sure, too, that he knew she was awake.
Gu Beiyue immediately turned and walked towards Qin Min. His gentle eyes held a tinge of solemnity, a tinge of helplessness. He said, "Ming Chen, how about it?"
Qin Min replied, "Safe and sound."
Gu Beiyue nodded and started to walk in. Unexpectedly, Qin Min suddenly closed the door, blocking his path.
Gu Beiyue was stunned. He raised his hand to knock, but in the end, he couldn't. He quietly retreated back to his original position and stood there. He raised his head to look at Haoyue in the sky, but unfortunately, even Haoyue's light couldn't penetrate his eyes.
The night was getting darker. One night, two days, three days.
He was standing.
After Jun Jiuchen finished practicing his swordsmanship, he didn't feel sleepy at all and wanted to take a look at the Lotus Pond. As he passed by Jade Flower Hall, he inadvertently raised his head and saw Gu Beiyue.
He was initially surprised, but very soon, he was no longer surprised. With his father's temper, it wasn't strange for such a thing to happen. He leapt up and stood beside Gu Beiyue, his back against the wall.
Before he could finish, Gu Beiyue turned to look, smiling helplessly. Jun Jiuchen laughed and joked, "I always thought that mother had a temper. At least, to you. "
Gu Beiyue was still smiling, but he didn't continue the topic. He jumped up onto the railing, borrowed the momentum, and flew up onto the roof. Jun Jiuchen immediately followed, sitting on the rooftop side by side.
Gu Beiyue asked, "Has there been any progress on the [Underworld Sword Technique]?"
Jun Jiuchen truthfully answered: "I find very strange the matter of the sword woman's cultivation going berserk. But until now, he still didn't have a clue. "So much so …"
Jun Jiuchen's face was full of thought, but he didn't say anything further.
Gu Beiyue waited for a moment before asking, "What do you suspect?"
Jun Jiuchen looked at him and seriously said, "Your son suspects that your son has not fully comprehended the second profound meaning of the [Heaven's Nether Sword Art], or … Your son was completely wrong! "
The second profound meaning of the [Heaven's Nether Sword Art] was "I have no sword". At that time, he had learned the profound meaning from the words that Gu Feiyan had inadvertently said. Gu Feiyan said that if he continued to practice this technique, his Qi would go berserk. At that time, he had really put his life on the line and trained himself to go berserk. He had lost himself and reached the level of "No Self". He then truly controlled Qian Ming, and he could also freely control Qian Ming's power while hiding it within his own body.
At that time, Gu Feiyan had questioned it. If it was "No Self" and he lost himself, then he should have been controlled by the power of the Desolation and not the power of the Desolation! He hadn't been able to relax at the time, but when he heard that the sword girl had gone berserk and that Gu Yunyuan and Meng Dong had sealed the sword, he realized the problem …
