The two of them approached these dilapidated huts.
I saw overgrown weeds all around, and it had obviously been uninhabited for a long time.
The door of the hut next to it was ajar, and it made a creaking sound when the wind blew.
"It seems like no one lives here anymore."
Gu Sheng stopped and looked around.
A trace of doubt flashed in Ji Ziyue's eyes. She turned around and asked Gu Sheng: "What are you planning to do here?"
"Although this place is dilapidated, the environment is quite peaceful. I want to repair it here for a while and regain my strength."
Gu Sheng replied.
"Huh?"
Ji Ziyue After hearing this, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
She didn't expect that Gu Sheng would want 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 release me? I promise not to run away, nor to pose any threat to you."
Gu Sheng Hearing this, a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes.
Then he shook his head and said as he walked, "I know you are smart and valuable, but I can't trust you easily unless you can give me some guarantees."
A hint of helplessness flashed in Ji Ziyue's eyes, knowing that Gu Sheng would not let go easily.
She took a deep breath, and then said, "If you can let me go, I am willing to use my family's "Void Ancient Scripture" in exchange."
Gu Sheng heard the four words "Void Ancient Scripture", and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
He once paused. It was an extremely precious cultivation secret book. If he could get it, it would be of great help to his cultivation.
Seeing that Gu Sheng was silent, Ji Ziyue continued, "We have a life-long friendship. Why can't you trust my store? If I hadn't reminded you, you might have been killed by Wu Zhiqi..."
"Tch, kill me? You won't survive either."
Gu Sheng smiled deliberately evilly.
At this time, Gu Sheng glanced at Ji Ziyue, saw her pitiful and delicate look, and agreed, "Okay, I promise you."
"Really? That's great!"
Ji Ziyue almost jumped with excitement.
While Ji Ziyue was cheering, Gu Sheng said in a deep voice, "But you must first silently write the content of "Void Ancient Scripture". After I verify that it is correct, I will naturally release you from the restraints."
"Okay, no problem."
Ji Ziyue nodded helplessly.
After the two of them basically settled down, Ji Ziyue found some worn-out paper and pen and ink, and began to write the contents of "Void Ancient Scripture" silently.
Her handwriting was smooth and strong, and it didn't take long for her to write "Void Ancient Scripture" from memory.
After handing this silent ancient scripture to Gu Sheng, Gu Sheng began to study it seriously.
The contents of the ancient scriptures are obscure and difficult to understand, which gives Gu Sheng a headache.
It was difficult for him, even as an intelligent man as he was, to fully grasp its depth.
Therefore, during the study process, he had to consult Ji Ziyue many times, hoping to get some inspiration from her.
In this way, two days passed by in a hurry.
And Gu Sheng has only read half of the volume of "Void Ancient Scripture".
On this day, just as the drums were immersed in the mystery of the scriptures, his thoughts were interrupted by a crisp bird call from the outside.
Chirping...
An emerald green bird landed lightly on the eaves of the thatched house and made a sweet cry.
This sound is clearly different from ordinary birds, and seems to contain some special rhythm and meaning.
"Huh?"
Hearing this voice, Ji Ziyue's expression changed instantly.
She rushed out of the hut almost instinctively, her eyes full of anxiety.
When Gu Sheng saw this, his heart tightened, thinking that there were other threats coming, so he rushed out after him.
"Whoosh!"
Ji Ziyue suddenly exerted force, trying to catch the little bird.
But she forgot that her divine power was restricted.
He just jumped half a meter and landed on the ground again.
After seeing Ji Ziyue, the little bird flapped its wings and flew around Ji Ziyue twice, and then landed on the eaves again.
"Quick, help me catch that bird!"
Ji Ziyue said anxiously to Gu Sheng.
"Um..."
Gu Sheng was speechless.
He didn't expect that a person as big as Ji Ziyue would be so playful.
"What do you want it for? Isn't this bird's chirping very nice?"
"That's my cousin's pet. If it escapes, my cousin will find it here soon!"
Ji Ziyue called.
"What? Your cousin's pet?"
Gu Sheng looked at the light bird, and then at Ji Ziyue's anxious look, and suddenly understood.
If it really causes unnecessary trouble because of a little bird, it's really not worth it.
Then, Gu Sheng's face darkened and he was ready to catch the little bird.
The little bird seemed to feel the threat, flapped its wings and was about to fly away.
But Gu Sheng moves faster.
I saw him flying forward, reaching out and grabbing the bird, and caught the bird firmly in his hand.
Ji Ziyue breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw this.
"Huh... I almost got 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 hidden secrets?"
Ji Ziyue's face changed slightly and he avoided Gu Sheng's gaze.
"It's a secret within the family, so I can't say more."
There was a hint of helplessness and worry in Ji Ziyue's voice.
Apparently, the subject seemed a little touchy for her.
Gu Sheng did not continue to ask. After all, it was their family's matter. It was hard for me to say anything to outsiders, especially between women.
Then, the two were preparing to return to the hut.
"Hehehe... Miss Ziyue, long time no see."
Suddenly, a burst of laughter broke the surrounding tranquility.
Ji Ziyue looked up and saw several figures appearing not far away, led by her cousin's servant 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 suddenly froze.
"Miss Ziyue, why are you here?"
Ji Xia's tone contained a hint of surprise and suspicion.
She walked forward quickly and glanced back and forth between Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue.
Ji Ziyue's heart tightened, knowing that if Ji Xia discovered that she was here, her cousin would know about it soon.
Ji Ziyue took a deep breath and tried his best to sound calm, "I'm just coming out for some air."
Gu Sheng also felt the tension in the atmosphere and knew not to 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, seeming to be looking for some clues.
After observing for a while, Ji Xia sneered, "Miss Ziyue, you really know how to find a place to breathe. This place is deserted, aren't you afraid of encountering any danger?"
Ji Ziyue's heart trembled, she knew there was something in Ji Xia's words.
But she did not respond directly, but changed the subject. "Ji Xia, why are you here?"
"Hmph!"
Ji Xia snorted and said, "Of course I'm here to find you."
After saying that, Ji Xia saw the bird in Ji Ziyue's hand. "Why is the bird raised by the owner in your hand? Is it possible that you want to kill it?"
Ji Xia's tone was aggressive, as if he was scolding Ji Ziyue as the owner.
You know, Ji Ziyue can make the ladies of the Ji Family, and these few are just servants.
"How can you talk now?"
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 is just a low-level spearhead boy. According to the realm, he can surpass Gu Sheng by several levels.
Now being asked back and scolded is simply an insult to one's identity.
"You kid, how can you talk? If you say I'm a servant, who do you think you are?"
Ji Xia rolled his eyes at Gu Sheng, and his anger soared.
Ji Ziyue Look Ji Xia's face was gloomy, and he suddenly felt that the situation was not good.
She gently pulled Gu Sheng's clothes and reminded in a low voice, "Hey, you are no match for her, you should just run away as you want."
"Uh... run away?"
Gu Sheng turned his head and glanced at Ji Ziyue.
He didn't expect that a servant of the Ji Family would make Ji Ziyue so afraid.
And when Ji Xia saw Ji Ziyue and Gu Sheng secretly communicating, he couldn't help laughing.
"Haha... you two, I have a feeling of affection when I look at you. Could it be that you two are destined to die for the rest of your life, you and me?"
Ji Xia As soon as he said this, the other servants immediately laughed at him.
Ji Ziyue Hearing this, his anger instantly rushed to Tianxin.
"Ji Xia! You are a servant, how can you be so unruly? After all, I am also Miss Ji Family, and it is not your turn to be so careless here."
Ji Ziyue scolded him coldly, showing his domineering attitude.
"Miss Ji Family? Humph!"
Ji Xia snorted coldly, and suddenly showed bursts of killing intent.
"Now at this time, please don't say that you are Miss Ji Family. In my eyes, you are just trash, a trash that I can play around with at will!"
Ji Xia said, secretly encouraging his divine power.
After Gu Sheng sensed the power of Ji Xia, he was secretly surprised.
He didn't expect that what Ji Ziyue just said was true.
According to his own perception of the situation, it seems that he... seems to be really no match for her.
Gu Sheng felt that the situation in front of him had taken a 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 lies.
Faced with this sudden crisis, immediate action must be taken.
"Quick! Let's get out of here!"
Ji Ziyue reminded.
"Yeah."
Gu Sheng responded, pulling Ji Ziyue into the sky.
Ji Ziyue Looking around, I feel that this situation is even more dangerous.
"There are Ji Family people around. We can't escape to the sky. That will only make us easier to be discovered. The best way out is to rush to the bottom of the lake, where we can temporarily hide our traces."
Ji Ziyue reminded.
Gu Sheng did not hesitate, knowing that Ji Ziyue knew the situation here better.
Immediately, he quickly grabbed Ji Ziyue's arm, and the two of them rushed toward the lake like lightning.
The moment they were about to touch the water, the two figures disappeared on the lake.
At this time, waves of ripples appeared on the lake surface, rippling away in all directions.
"Want to escape?"
Ji Xia saw a look of surprise in his eyes, which then turned into anger.
She did not expect that Ji Ziyue and Gu Sheng would 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 are somewhat familiar with the terrain under the lake, and hope to get rid of Ji Xia and their pursuit as soon as possible.
"Over there, there are power fluctuations over there."
While swimming, Ji Ziyue pointed at a seemingly ordinary underwater light.
Gu Sheng understood it and knew that this must be Profound Yellow Power's hiding spot.
He quickly swam there with Ji Ziyue, and then cautiously approached Profound Yellow 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 never give up until she caught Ji Ziyue and Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng felt happy, this was exactly what he wanted.
Then, Gu Sheng deliberately swam above Profound Yellow 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 followed closely behind her, wanting only to catch Ji Ziyue.
When Gu Sheng felt that the time was right, he instantly inspired Profound Yellow 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? Profound Yellow Power?"
Ji Xia has stayed at the Ji Family for a long time, so naturally Dao Yi knows something about Profound Yellow Power.
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 Profound Yellow Power.
They did not expect that Profound Yellow Power would be at the bottom of the lake and would be excited 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 Profound Yellow 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.
It can be seen from this that Profound Yellow Power is so powerful that 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 one was 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. Profound Yellow Power is so powerful. If it dies, it will float up very quickly."
Gu Sheng was a little puzzled and prepared to count again.
