Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 172 Black Fortune and White Fortune
In the courtyard, Gu Xiaoxing couldn't find any trace of Wangcai and Facai, and he immediately became furious.
"They were here just now!" Qiao Yanran said to Gu Xiaoxing not far away.
When Gu Xiaoxing turned to look at Qiao Yanran, all the anger in his heart disappeared in an instant. He saw Xu Qianxing pouting beside Qiao Yanran, looking at Gu Xiaoxing with aggrieved eyes. He wanted to cry but didn't dare to, looking so pitiful.
Gu Xiaoxing walked over, hugged Xu Qianxing in his arms, and whispered in her ear: "If you cry again, I will bring Ling'er here."
Xu Qianxing's body trembled, and she seemed to think of the little girl who loved to slap people's buttocks. She couldn't help but burst into laughter, but when she felt Gu Xiaoxing's gentle caress, a more aggrieved emotion surged in her heart. This time she couldn't hold it back, and sobbed slightly, "I just... don't want you to get hurt."
"It's going to be okay. We're all going to be okay."
Gu Xiaoxing held her tightly until a long time later, her body stopped trembling and she had fallen asleep in Gu Xiaoxing's arms. He gently carried her into the house and put her on the bed.
Seeing Xu Qianxing sleeping soundly with tears in her eyes, Gu Xiaoxing felt mixed emotions. Even though Xu Qianxing didn't tell her what unexpected happened when she was forming the pill, Gu Xiaoxing was very smart. Based on the changes in Xu Qianxing before and after she was in Lei Yuntian, as well as her evasive words and expressions whenever he asked her about this matter in recent days, she knew that Xu Qianxing had disappeared.
Gu Xiaoxing had guessed something or two a long time ago, but sometimes the more you know, the heavier it becomes!
"I saved her in the thundercloud sky, but did I... also harm her?!"
When Gu Xiaoxing walked out of the room, Qiao Yanran seemed to be waiting for him outside. When she saw him come out, she immediately smiled. When Gu Xiaoxing saw this smile, his heavy mood seemed to be relieved a little.
Qiao Yanran is like a confidante who understands everything but doesn’t say much and doesn’t ask too many questions. No matter what happens, she will just support you silently in her heart, which makes people feel at ease.
"Young master, you take a rest first. Yanran will go and find Wangcai and Facai." Qiao Yanran supported Gu Xiaoxing and walked towards the pavilion.
Gu Xiaoxing stopped and said, "I'll go by myself. You stay and take care of Qianxing."
However, Qiao Yanran knew that the young master was holding a grudge and wanted to take it out on the two little ones. Suddenly, her body tilted slightly and she was hugged by someone. Qiao Yanran smiled slightly and leaned on his shoulder naturally.
After a while, Gu Xiaoxing left. Qiao Yanran's little mouth was slightly red, as if she had just been bitten by someone. There was still a hint of blush on her face. As she looked at his receding back, her eyes seemed to contain a star, shining brightly.
Gu Xiaoxing stood high in the sky, slightly activating the secret method of the Sky Eye and constantly scanning the ground below, looking for the figures of Wangcai and Facai.
In fact, with Gu Xiaoxing's current spiritual power, his spiritual consciousness is barely enough to cover the entire Seventh Ancient Sword, but unfortunately, this is the Yu Jian Sect, which is suppressed by the protective formation. Without the Yu Jian Sect's special jade talisman, his spiritual consciousness cannot spread too far, and can only reach a distance of a hundred feet at most.
In fact, many large sects’ protective formations have such functions.
So, don’t say that Gu Xiaoxing’s spiritual sense has been blinded. Even if it wasn’t blind, he could only use his eyes to search.
Nowadays, Gu Xiaoxing's secret method of third eye has become more and more proficient. If he is not in the state of truly opening the third eye, but just barely maintaining vision, it can last for quite a while.
But his eyesight was limited after all. He searched for them on the seventh ancient sword for a long time but could not find any trace of them. This made Gu Xiaoxing's face even gloomier.
At the same time, because of the increasingly intense rumors in the outside world, more and more people came to Yu Jian City, and some people began to visit Yu Jian Sect for various reasons to find out the truth.
Not only did the Yu Jian Sect not reject these visitors, but it also welcomed them all into the sect. It also sent out invitations to some of the most prominent figures in the Small Wasteland.
"Since someone is fanning the flames and spreading rumors in an attempt to make things bigger, then we will help him. It is also time... to establish our authority!" These were the original words of the Sword Controlling Sect's leader.
The place where the Sword Controlling Sect entertained distinguished guests was the Seventh Ancient Sword, but the place where they lived was different from Gu Xiaoxing. After all, Gu Xiaoxing was considered a master in the eyes of the Sword Controlling Sect, and Xu Qianxing was their young sect leader, so naturally he would not be arranged to live in the guest's residence.
Gu Xiaoxing lives at the tip of the ancient sword. There is only one courtyard within a hundred miles, and the place where guests are entertained is near the hilt. The two are nearly three hundred miles apart, so they are far apart and should have no intersection.
But at this moment, something unexpected happened because of a pair of little animals.
I saw a big black dog running in front and a little unicorn jumping happily behind it among the mountains and forests. These two were Wangcai and Facai who had sneaked out to have fun!
Suddenly, the big black dog Wangcai, who was running in front, stopped. Let's call him Hei Wangcai for now. Hei Wangcai winked at the person behind him in a very humane way, and then hid in a gutter.
Behind him, the little blue and white Qilin immediately understood, let's call it Bai Facai. Bai Facai stopped immediately and leaned into the gutter as obediently as a little brother.
Then, they secretly poked their eyes out from the gutter and looked into the distance, where they saw a bird crawling. It looked like a goshawk, but it was a goshawk with two heads. Judging from its aura, it was probably in the process of completing its foundation building.
These days, Hei Wangcai seemed to have consumed all the tortoise shell fragments he had swallowed, and his aura remained at the perfect foundation building stage without any further improvement . At this moment, he looked at the two-headed goshawk, licked his lips with his long tongue, and whispered to Bai Facai beside him, but no one knew what he was saying.
Bai Facai kept nodding, and gradually, when he looked at the two-headed goshawk, excitement appeared in his eyes. Then he slowly crawled out of the gutter and approached.
Hei Wangcai follows closely behind.
In the distance, the creeping two-headed goshawk suddenly raised its head. It looked quite large, with a wingspan of at least a hundred feet. Its four sharp eagle eyes were cutting forward like knives. The beast's alertness told it that there was danger ahead, so it slowly stood up!
At this time, a blue and white Qilin suddenly appeared, jumped out from the front and swooped down at an extremely fast speed. The Qilin was not big, but when the two-headed goshawk sensed its breath, its eagle feathers almost exploded, and it let out a sudden cry and wanted to spread its wings and fly high.
But as the little Qilin opened its mouth and lightning condensed in its mouth, the two-headed goshawk dared not move. It dared not flap its outstretched wings, nor did it dare to retract them. The fear in its heart spread infinitely, and it gradually lost the ability to think.
At this time, a big black dog ran out from behind the little Qilin. When it opened its mouth, the dog's head became over a hundred feet in size and swallowed the two-headed goshawk in one gulp, leaving only a large piece of the goshawk's butt that fell to the ground...
In a guest residence not far from here, as the goshawk cried loudly, someone suddenly opened his eyes!
