Li Shi'an swept over in a few strides and said softly with a bitter smile, "To tell the truth, I have no good solution either. In that battle just now, he did not even use his Fire Dao. That Yao Blade alone drove me into a desperate corner. Though you have now suppressed it, my young friend, we have no idea what other tricks he still has hidden."
Gu Yuanqing frowned slightly, then smiled. "In that case, come into the mountain with me for a short rest, Senior. You can change your clothes while you are there."
Li Shi'an glanced back at Zuo Qiu, who stood outside North Spring Mountain, and said hesitantly, "Your Array Formation is wondrous, my young friend, but Zuo Qiu's origins are far from ordinary. If we leave and he finds a way to break through it..."
Gu Yuanqing laughed despite himself. "It is fine. I still have confidence in that."
By now, he had regained his composure. Since he could suppress the Yao Blade, and Zuo Qiu did not dare enter either, that meant he could likewise suppress Zuo Qiu by drawing on North Spring Mountain's power.
"Then, as your guest, I shall follow your lead. Better to accept than stand on ceremony." Li Shi'an cupped his hands.
Gu Yuanqing hung the Kunwu Sword at his waist, gripped the Blood Tiger Yao Blade in one hand, and turned sideways to invite him along. "Please!"
Li Shi'an glanced back once more, then the two used their movement techniques to head toward the summit.
Along the way, Li Shi'an stole several glances at the young man ahead and to his side.
Before he set out, Prince Qing had told him that this was a son of the Gu Family, imprisoned on North Spring Mountain a year ago
