Chapter 394: Insults

The two approached the dilapidated huts.

They saw that the area was covered with weeds and it was obvious that no one had lived here for a long time.

The door of the hut next to them was half-closed, and it creaked when the wind blew.

"It seems that no one lives here."

Gu Sheng stopped and looked around.

Ji Ziyue's eyes flashed with a trace of doubt, and she turned to ask Gu Sheng: "What are you going to do here?"

"Although this place is dilapidated, the environment is still quiet. I want to rest here for a while and recover my strength."

Gu Sheng replied.

"Ah?"

Ji Ziyue was surprised after hearing this.

She didn't expect that Gu Sheng actually wanted to live here for a while.

Ji Ziyue was silent for a moment, and then asked softly: "Gu Sheng, since you plan to stay here, can you completely let go of my restraints? I promise not to run away, and I will not pose any threat to you."

Gu Sheng heard this, and a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes.

Then he shook his head and said as he walked: "I know you are very smart and valuable, but I can't trust you easily unless you can give me some guarantees."

Ji Ziyue's eyes flashed with helplessness, knowing that Gu Sheng would not let go easily.

She took a deep breath and said: "If you can let me go, I am willing to use the "Void Ancient Scripture" in my family as an exchange."

Gu Sheng heard the four words "Void Ancient Scripture" and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

He once stopped, it was an extremely precious cultivation secret book, if he could get it, it would be of great help to his cultivation.

Seeing Gu Sheng silent, Ji Ziyue continued: "We are a life-and-death friendship, why can't you trust me? If I hadn't reminded you, maybe you would have been killed by Wuzhiqi..."

"Tsk, kill me? You can't live."

Gu Sheng smiled deliberately evilly.

At this time, Gu Sheng glanced at Ji Ziyue, and seeing her pitiful look, he promised: "Okay, I promise you."

"Really? That's great!"

Ji Ziyue almost jumped up with excitement.

While Ji Ziyue was cheering, Gu Sheng said in a deep voice, "But you must first memorize the contents of the "Void Ancient Scripture". After I verify it, I will naturally release you."

"Okay, no problem."

Ji Ziyue nodded helplessly.

When the two of them basically settled down, Ji Ziyue found some worn-out paper and pen and ink and began to memorize the contents of the "Void Ancient Scripture".

Her handwriting was fluent and powerful, and she memorized the "Void Ancient Scripture" in a short time.

After handing this memorized ancient scripture to Gu Sheng, Gu Sheng began to study it seriously.

The content of the ancient scripture was obscure and difficult to understand, which gave Gu Sheng a headache.

For him, even a smart person like him could hardly fully understand its profoundness.

Therefore, during the study, he had to ask Ji Ziyue for advice many times, hoping to get some inspiration from her.

In this way, two days passed quickly.

And Gu Sheng only read half of the "Void Ancient Scripture".

That day, just as the drums were immersed in the mystery of the scriptures, a crisp bird call from the outside world interrupted his thoughts.

Chirping...

A emerald green bird landed lightly on the eaves of the hut, making a pleasant cry.

This sound was clearly different from ordinary birds, and seemed to contain some special rhythm and meaning.

"Huh?"

Hearing this sound, Ji Ziyue's face changed instantly.

She almost instinctively rushed out of the hut, her eyes full of anxiety.

Seeing this, Gu Sheng's heart tightened, thinking that there was another threat coming, and he rushed out immediately after him.

"Swoosh!"

Ji Ziyue suddenly exerted force, trying to catch the bird.

But she forgot that her divine power was bound.

Just jumped half a meter and fell to the ground again.

After seeing Ji Ziyue, the bird flapped its wings and flew around Ji Ziyue twice, then landed on the eaves again.

"Quick, help me catch the bird!"

Ji Ziyue said anxiously to Gu Sheng.

"Uh..."

Gu Sheng was speechless.

He didn't expect that Ji Ziyue, who was so old, would still have such a big heart to play.

"Why do you want it? Isn't the bird's cry very nice?"

"That's my cousin's pet. If it escapes, my cousin will find it here soon!"

Ji Ziyue shouted.

"What? Your cousin's pet?"

Gu Sheng looked at the light bird, then looked at Ji Ziyue's anxious look, and immediately understood.

If unnecessary troubles were really caused by a bird, it would be too unworthy.

Then, Gu Sheng's face sank, and he was ready to catch the bird.

And the bird seemed to feel threatened, flapped its wings, and was about to fly away.

But Gu Sheng's action was faster.

He flew forward, stretched out his hand, and caught the bird firmly in his hand.

Ji Ziyue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this.

"Huh... I was almost discovered."

Ji Ziyue looked relieved.

Gu Sheng looked at Ji Ziyue's relieved look, and couldn't help but feel a little curious.

Then he asked: "Why are you so afraid of your cousin? Do you sisters have any secrets that cannot be told?"

Ji Ziyue's face changed slightly, avoiding Gu Sheng's gaze.

"It's a family secret, so I can't say more."

Ji Ziyue's voice was filled with helplessness and worry.

Obviously, this topic seemed a little sensitive to her.

Gu Sheng did not continue to ask, after all, it was their family's business, and it was not good for him as an outsider to say too much, especially between women.

Then, the two were about to return to the hut.

"Hehehe... Miss Ziyue, long time no see."

Suddenly, a burst of laughter broke the silence around.

Ji Ziyue looked up and saw several figures appearing not far away, led by her cousin's maid Ji Xia.

Ji Xia was dressed in gorgeous clothes, followed by several followers.

They seemed to be having some relaxing fun, and their laughter revealed a carefree look.

However, when Ji Xia's eyes fell on Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue, her smile froze.

"Miss Ziyue, why are you here?"

Ji Xia's tone was filled with a hint of surprise and suspicion.

She walked up quickly, her eyes scanning back and forth between Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue.

Ji Ziyue's heart tightened, knowing that if Ji Xia found out that she was here, her cousin would know it soon.

Ji Ziyue took a deep breath and tried her best to make her voice sound calm: "I just came out to get some fresh air."

Gu Sheng also felt the tension in the atmosphere and knew that he couldn't reveal any flaws at this time.

So he nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with Ji Ziyue's words.

Ji Xia looked at the two of them, as if looking for some clues.

After a while of observation, Ji Xia sneered: "Miss Ziyue, you really know how to find a place to get some fresh air. There is no one here. Aren't you afraid of encountering any danger?"

Ji Ziyue's heart trembled, she knew that Ji Xia's words had something to say.

But she did not respond directly, but changed the subject: "Ji Xia, why are you here?"

"Humph!"

Ji Xia snorted and said, "Of course I came to find you."

After that, Ji Xia saw the bird in Ji Ziyue's hand: "Why is the bird raised by the master in your hand? Do you want to kill it?"

Ji Xia's tone was aggressive, as if she was scolding Ji Ziyue as the master.

You know, Ji Ziyue is the young lady of the Ji family, and these people are just servants.

"How can you, a servant, talk like that?"

Gu Sheng couldn't stand it anymore and scolded him coldly.

Ji Xia looked Gu Sheng up and down again.

In her eyes, Gu Sheng was just a low-class spearhead boy. According to the realm classification, he could surpass Gu Sheng by several levels.

Now being asked and scolded back, it was simply an insult to her identity.

"How can you talk like that, kid? You said I was a servant, what are you?"

Ji Xia rolled her eyes at Gu Sheng, and her anger soared in her heart.

Ji Ziyue saw that Ji Xia's face was gloomy, and she felt that the situation was not good.

She gently pulled the corner of Gu Sheng's clothes and whispered to remind him: "Hey, you are not her opponent, you still want to run away."

"Uh... run away?"

Gu Sheng turned his head and looked at Ji Ziyue.

He didn't expect that a servant of the Ji family would make Ji Ziyue so afraid.

When Ji Xia saw Ji Ziyue and Gu Sheng secretly communicating, she couldn't help laughing.

"Hehe... You two, I feel like you two are in love. Could it be that you two are destined to be together forever?"

Ji Xia's words immediately caused the other servants to mock.

Ji Ziyue heard this and her anger instantly rushed to her mind.

"Ji Xia! You are a servant, are you so unruly? After all, I am also the lady of the Ji family, and it is not your turn to talk nonsense here."

Ji Ziyue scolded coldly, showing her domineering attitude.

"Miss Ji? Humph!"

Ji Xia snorted coldly, and immediately showed a burst of murderous intent.

"Don't say you are a lady of the Ji family at this time. In my eyes, you are just trash, a trash that I can mess with at will!"

Ji Xia said, secretly encouraging her divine power.

Gu Sheng was secretly surprised when he sensed Ji Xia's power.

He didn't expect that what Ji Ziyue said just now was actually true.

According to his own perception, he seemed... seemed to be really not her opponent.

Gu Sheng felt that the situation in front of him took a sharp turn for the worse, and Ji Xia's words were full of threats and murderous intent.

This made him realize that Ji Ziyue's words were not empty words.

In the face of this sudden crisis, action must be taken immediately.

"Quick! Let's get out of here!"

Ji Ziyue reminded.

"Yeah."

Gu Sheng responded and pulled Ji Ziyue into the sky.

Ji Ziyue looked around and felt that this situation was even more dangerous.

"There are people from the Ji family around. We can't escape to the sky. That will only make us more easily discovered. The best way out is to rush to the bottom of the lake, where we can temporarily hide our tracks."

Ji Ziyue reminded.

Gu Sheng did not hesitate, knowing that Ji Ziyue knew more about the situation here.

Then, he quickly grabbed Ji Ziyue's arm, and the two rushed to the lake like a flash of lightning.

At the moment when they were about to touch the water, the two figures flashed and disappeared on the lake.

At this time, waves appeared on the lake surface, rippling around.

"Want to escape?"

Ji Xia saw this scene and showed a hint of surprise in her eyes, which then turned into anger.

She didn't expect Ji Ziyue and Gu Sheng to have the courage to jump into the lake.

Then, she immediately rushed into the lake with a few followers following her.

The lake water was cold and deep. Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue swam quickly in the water, looking for a suitable hiding place.

Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue were somewhat familiar with the terrain under the lake, and hoped to get rid of Ji Xia's pursuit as soon as possible.

"Over there, there are power fluctuations over there."

While swimming, Ji Ziyue pointed to a seemingly ordinary underwater light.

Gu Sheng understood it in his heart and knew that this must be the hiding place of Xuanhuang's power.

He took Ji Ziyue and swam there quickly, and then cautiously approached Xuanhuang's power.

Suddenly, Gu Sheng had a plan in mind.

At this time, Gu Sheng looked back and saw Ji Xia almost catching up.

At this time, her eyes were full of anger and murderous intent, and it seemed that she would not give up until Ji Ziyue and Gu Sheng were caught.

Gu Sheng was delighted, this was exactly what he wanted.

Then, Gu Sheng deliberately swam towards the Xuanhuang Power, while signaling Ji Ziyue to stay alert.

"You can't escape, so you must die!"

Ji Xia and the others were only focused on chasing Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue. Their eyes were locked on the two figures and they were completely unaware of their surroundings.

Her followers also followed closely behind her, wanting only to catch Ji Ziyue.

When Gu Sheng felt that the time was right, he instantly activated Xuanhuang's power.

This power was like a sleeping dragon suddenly awakening. The powerful energy fluctuations formed a huge shock wave in the water, sweeping towards Ji Xia and the others.

"This...what? The power of Xuanhuang?"

Ji Xia has stayed in the Ji family for a long time, so she naturally knows something about the power of Xuanhuang.

When she saw this golden power coming towards her, her face was filled with horror.

"Boom!"

A low and powerful voice came.

Subsequently, Ji Xia and her companions were all hit by the power of Xuanhuang.

They did not expect that Xuanhuang's power was actually at the bottom of the lake and would be inspired by Gu Sheng.

Just like that, they were instantly shaken by the shock wave.

A dark yellow mountain.

What's more, he was hit by the root of Xuanhuang's power.

Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue took advantage of this opportunity and quickly swam to the lake and reached the shore.

Compared with when we just entered the bottom of the lake, the lake surface was already rough and rough.

From this we can see how powerful the power of Xuanhuang is, and it has the potential to overturn the entire lake.

"They should all be dead."

Ji Ziyue looked at the rolling lake and let out a sigh of relief.

Gu Sheng nodded.

Then, several corpses emerged.

Those corpses were the companions who followed Ji Xia.

Gu Sheng counted the number of people, but there was one missing.

"Why is there one missing?"

Gu Sheng frowned slightly, looking a little puzzled.

"Isn't it floating yet?"

Ji Ziyue said casually.

"It shouldn't be. The power of the Xuanhuang Power is so powerful. If you die, you will float quickly."

Gu Sheng was a little puzzled and prepared to count again. (End of chapter)
