After Gu Tong left, Mu Qing went back to Jiuyou Tower and told Wang Yeqing about the situation in Baidi City, asking the City Lord's Mansion to pay more attention to the developments in Baidi City recently, and then went to Danfang.
Shortly after noon, the female disciples of Wanhua Valley who were resting were already used to the city lord who often ran here. Some people greeted him with a smile and then ran to the alchemy workshop. Mu Qing was a little surprised when he saw this. I had no choice but to stop where I was and wait.
Soon, a figure walked out of the alchemy workshop and walked towards him.
However, what makes Mu Qing feel a little strange is that in the past, it was Zhang Shaoyao who would specially greet these female disciples and pay attention to him. Only Zhang Shaoyao would want to stick to him after he came over, but this time it was Zhang Shaoyao who came out. Huai Feng Hua.
"Auntie." Mu Qing hurried up to meet Huaifenghua. When she came to Huaifenghua, she looked in the direction of Danfang and raised her eyebrows, "Did something happen?"
Huaifenghua said: "Everything is normal in Danfang, but there is something wrong with Gu Yinghe."
Mu Qing frowned and said, "The curse in her body broke out again so soon?"
Huai Fenghua shook her head quickly: "Earlier today, Shaoyao and the others went to see her, but she was not there and she has not come back until now."
"Oh." Mu Qing said, "She said she would be wandering around the city these days, and she might not come back until later."
"If it was just like this, would I come here to tell you this?" Huaifenghua frowned slightly, "Henhe came here just now, and during the chat, he specifically mentioned that the law enforcement team saw her leaving the city very early, and it happened to be from Firestone City. Someone from the Phantom Sect also saw her.
"Henhe felt that Gu Yinghe's behavior was weird, but he didn't find anything wrong, so he just told me about it."
Mu Qing nodded softly: "I hate Sister He so much."
Huai Feng Hua Bai Mu Qing glanced at him: "I think Hen He knows that you have a good relationship with this Miss Gu, so he is so tactful."
Mu Qing looked at Huaifenghua's helpless expression with a hint of reminder, and suddenly realized that based on what Gu Yinghe had done in Beihuang, everyone was able to treat her with courtesy these days, in fact, it was entirely because of him Attitude.
If you want everyone to truly trust Gu Yinghe, I'm afraid it will take a long time to get along to change the first impression in your heart.
Moreover... Firestone City is already some distance away from Suzaku City. Why did Gu Yinghe leave suddenly?
Huaifenghua obviously also had her suspicions. She hesitated and said, "People who can become priests often have a strong sense of responsibility. She may want to return to the Gu family."
Mu Qing shook his head and said: "Gu Yinghe stole things from their temple and was labeled a traitor by Gu Yun. Unless Gu Yun dies, she will not be able to return to the Gu family."
At this point, Mu Qing was stunned. In fact, Gu Yinghe had never told him that he had left the Gu family. What he had been doing seemed to be to change the Gu family's predicament.
Mu Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Not all people in the Gu family are enemies. I happen to have something to ask her about. Don't worry, auntie, I will figure it out."
"That's good." Seeing that Mu Qing had regained her vigilance, Huaifenghua said no more.
…
…
Twenty miles north of Firestone City, there is a dense forest.
Gu Yinghe frowned and had a cold face. He stopped in front of a big tree based on some sense and said in a deep voice: "Come out."
There was slight movement from behind the big tree. A tall woman covered in black robe slowly walked out. When she raised her head, a pair of bright and deep amber eyes were exposed from under the hood, staring at Gu Yinghe, with a soft and gentle voice: "Yinghe."
The moment he saw the woman, Gu Yinghe frowned, "This place is only a hundred miles away from Suzaku City, how dare you come here?"
The woman's eyes stopped on Gu Yinghe's face, she was silent for a while, then she smiled and said, "Don't worry, I haven't been discovered. No one can detect my breath except you."
"How have you been lately? Have you found a way to deal with the curse in your body?"
When Gu Yinghe heard this, his tense expression suddenly collapsed, and he softly shouted: "Sister."
The person who came was none other than Gu Yinghe’s second sister, the current high priest of the Gu family.
Ancient Yingqiu.
Gu Yingqiu looked at her sister who was standing a dozen steps in front of her, her eyes hanging silently, with a trace of sadness deep in her eyes, and said: "You are now completely regarded as a traitor by everyone in the Gu family. You will regret not listening to my sister's advice." ?"
Gu Yinghe shook his head, raised his face and looked directly into Gu Yingqiu's eyes, "'Does everyone in the Gu family include you?"
"..."
Gu Yingqiu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Gu Yinghe silently.
"I understand." Gu Yinghe put away the unnecessary emotions in his heart and regained his composure: "What on earth do you want to do if you risk approaching Suzaku City?"
Gu Yingqiu replied: "I came to see you...by the way, I wanted to see what charm the young city lord named Mu Qing had that kept you in Suzaku City."
Gu Yinghe's expression became colder and colder: "I have nothing to do with Mu Qing. You'd better not try to get close to Suzaku City. I'm afraid I won't be able to save you by then."
"I also felt the breath of that tribulation a few days ago." Gu Yingqiu's tone was always calm, and he said with a smile: "Speaking of Ye Jianxian's ability to successfully overcome the tribulation, you should have a lot of credit. I wonder what you told her A few words later."
Gu Yinghe breathed out lightly. She had to admit that even though her current level was slightly higher than that of Gu Yingqiu, when it came to her ability to arouse emotions with words, she was still far inferior to him. After her emotions stabilized, Gu Yinghe Yinghe said: "If there is nothing else, I will go back. If you want to follow me, I won't stop you."
Gu Yinghe did what he said, turned around and left.
Gu Yingqiu stood under the big tree and quietly watched Gu Yinghe leave, but before Gu Yinghe took a few steps, a sigh came out of Gu Yingqiu's lips: "Hey."
I saw Gu Yingqiu reaching out his hands from the long sleeves of his black robe, and touching his jade-like slender fingers, a mysterious and profound aura spread out.
Gu Yinghe reacted very quickly, and flew into the air almost at the same time as Gu Yingqiu's movements. However, this place was Gu Yingqiu's choice, and before she could leave the woods, the skylight had already completed its twist, trapping her.
"This is the Mingguang Formation. You should know that I have no intention of harming you." Gu Yingqiu said.
Gu Yinghe looked at the skylight stacking and surging around him like a mirror, slowly falling to the ground, and said expressionlessly: "But this formation cannot trap me."
Gu Yingqiu listened to the calmness in Gu Yinghe's words, and looked at Gu Yinghe again with a pair of amber eyes. After a moment, he sighed softly: "I didn't expect that in such a short time, you suppressed the curse in your body. With you, The current strength can indeed break through the bright light array."
Gu Yinghe looked at Gu Yingqiu coldly and said nothing.
Gu Yingqiu waited for a moment, and when he saw that Gu Yinghe didn't move, his face became a little bit ashamed, and he got closer to her: "Since you don't want me to be discovered by others, can you listen to my sister and say a few more words? "
Gu Yingqiu came to Gu Yinghe and stretched out his hand to touch her, but in the end he took it back and said slowly: "After we arrived at Baidi City, we asked the emperor for news about Suzaku City, but there was no news. about you."
"You helped them so much and almost died because of it, but it seems they don't really accept you."
Gu Yinghe remained silent. Gu Yingqiu's words reminded her of her experiences these days. She could indeed detect a hint of vigilance and alienation from other people's attitudes towards her, but as long as someone was not like this, It doesn't really matter.
But for some reason, Gu Yinghe didn't want to explain this to Gu Yingqiu. He just said, "It's not unusual for what happened in Beihuang to make them hostile to people from the Gu family."
Gu Yingqiu looked at Gu Yinghe, "I feel sorry for you. Obviously we are all for the future of the Gu family, but you have fallen into the current situation."
"Hmph." Gu Yinghe frowned and said, "As long as Gu Yun doesn't die, it's just a matter of time. I'm lucky enough to have the results I have now, and I don't need you to pity me."
The two sisters finally talked about Gu Yun, a person who could not be avoided. Gu Yingqiu had a strange expression. He glanced at the formation surrounding the two of them, and seemed to be sure that the rest of the conversation would not be heard by others, and then said: " Regarding the great elder, there is still not much difference between my views and yours, but on the matter of Xiao Yuan
, I hope you can calm down. "
"Why are you calm?" Gu Yinghe was puzzled. "Since you have arrived at Baidi City, you will surely leave for the Black Sea soon, right? Gu Yun asked Xiao Yuan to participate in the trial. He was obviously uneasy and well-intentioned, but you still agreed. This matter!"
Gu Yingqiu nodded and said: "The Great Elder allowed Xiao Yuan to enter the Mingquan Secret Realm because the mysterious crystals in the secret realm can help Xiao Yuan's bloodline to be purified most thoroughly. Before deciding on this matter, we tried our best to obtain the most complete purification of Xiao Yuan's bloodline from the Black Sea. I found a piece of Xuan Crystal over there, and I’m sure it’s effective.”
"What happens after that? Let Xiao Yuan face the curse flowing in the blood of the Wu clan? Can he do it now? You don't seem to care whether he has the ability to withstand such an impact!" Gu Yinghe asked.
Gu Yingqiu lowered his eyes and said nothing. He was the high priest of the Gu family. How could he not know how dangerous this matter was.
Gu Yinghe sneered: "If eldest sister were still alive, she would definitely think you are crazy!"
"What if eldest sister can wake up?"
"...What?" Gu Yinghe was not sure what he just heard and looked at Gu Yingqiu in shock, "What did you say, eldest sister?"
Gu Yingqiu raised her head, looked at Gu Yinghe quietly, and said slowly: "I said, the eldest sister can wake up."
"!" Gu Yinghe's eyes widened slightly and fell into silence.
Gu Yingqiu continued: "After you left, my brother-in-law came to see me, and he took me to see our sister. If Xiao Yuan can possess the purified pure blood of the Wu clan, as a blood relative, the eldest sister will wake up. Opportunity."
Gu Yinghe's eyes were filled with shock. He was silent for a while before regaining his senses. He frowned and said, "You don't have the ability to revive the eldest sister, and neither does my brother-in-law. Are you so ridiculous that you think Gu Yun will help?"
Gu Yingqiu was silent for a longer time before saying: "As long as there is a chance, I will not give up. So..."
A fair and slender hand suddenly poked out from the black robe and covered Gu Yinghe's chest.
Gu Yinghe glanced down, then raised his head to look at Gu Yingqiu who was approaching Chi Zhi without saying anything.
Gu Yingqiu did not dare to face her gaze for the first time, "Sister taught me that she will understand me, and I... also know you, you will definitely stop this, so I need you next Take a good rest for some time."
"Don't worry, I won't leave you unable to recover."
After Gu Yingqiu finished speaking, a ripple immediately rushed from her palm to Gu Yinghe's heart!
