Chapter 124: Saving Back

Chapter 124: Chapter 124: Saving Back

There was another window, and someone was surely outside it.

Even an idiot could figure that out.

She could enter her space now, but she worried that if Qingchen found her gone, he would vent his anger on this family.

What to do?

Moreover, her family must be extremely worried now that she was missing.

Especially Xiao Yunjing; if he knew she was missing, she couldn’t imagine what he might do.

Ugh! This is really a headache; my head is throbbing!

「Meanwhile, a hundred li away」

Wuqing was riding on Da Bai’s back, rushing towards her.

As soon as Wuqing had emerged, she had gone up the mountain to find Da Bai. Da Bai was familiar with its mistress’s scent and possessed an acute sense of smell.

It will surely be able to find her.

As expected, Da Bai had been following the scent.

“Young Master, there’s a situation.”

Upon hearing this, Qingchen immediately barged into the room. With an eerie flash of movement, he snatched Gu Qingli, who was still lost in thought, and carried her away as fast as lightning.

“Ah, you’re going to be the death of me!”

Qingchen immediately sealed her acupoints, including her mute point.

Gu Qingli wailed internally,

Damn it, my pants!

Fortunately, I still have a skirt covering them.

“Let’s go.”

With Qingchen leading, the five of them ran at an extremely fast speed through the dark night.

“Heavens! The Divine Doctor’s Secret Guards are so fast! They’ve caught up already. Are they even human?” Secret Guard No.2 protected Qingchen, occasionally glancing back.

Da Bai, carrying Wuqing, seemed to sense something. It roared and sped up towards Qingchen’s group.

In the dead of night, its roar was particularly piercing, waking countless people from their dreams.

Wuqing waved her hand, and immediately ten figures shot out.

In Qingchen’s arms, Gu Qingli faintly heard a tiger’s roar. Her heart leaped with joy.

Is that Da Bai coming to rescue me?

“You four stay behind and block them.” Qingchen heard the tiger’s roar, and a sense of unease surged in his heart. He immediately ordered.

“Yes, Young Master.” Secret Guard No.2 and the other three immediately turned back, intending to buy more time for their Young Master. They were not far from Red Leaf Villa. Once inside the villa, escape would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

Everyone in the martial arts world knew that the Nine Palaces Bagua Formation was laid out outside Red Leaf Villa. Anyone unfamiliar with the formation who dared to enter could forget about ever coming out.

Qingchen poured all his internal energy into his feet, and his speed increased even further.

Behind them, the ten pursuers clashed head-on with Secret Guard No.2 and the other three, and the battle began instantly.

These ten top-tier experts were too much for the four Secret Guards to handle. In just a few moves, the four were forced to retreat. Secret Guard No.2 blew a covert whistle, and the four of them fled in different directions.

The ten pursued relentlessly, intending to kill without mercy. Their purpose was to prevent the guards from further engagement and delaying them.

After the four escaped, the ten resumed their pursuit.

「Later」

Da Bai had chased for a whole night. Exhausted, it collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

Wuqing immediately gave it some Spiritual Spring Water. Soon after, Da Bai revived, full of energy, and resumed the chase, catching up to the ten and even surpassing them.

“ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!”

Da Bai saw them.

Hearing the tiger’s roar, now seemingly close at hand, Qingchen clenched his teeth. Mustering all his strength, he sprinted like an arrow towards the nearby woods.

That was the outskirts of Red Leaf Villa. The trees there were planted according to the Nine Palaces Bagua Formation.

As long as I enter, I’ll be safe,

he thought.

Wuqing finally spotted the rapidly fleeing figure ahead.

The person he’s carrying must be the Young Miss!

She shouted, “Young Miss!”

“ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!” Da Bai also cried out.

Gu Qingli heard the shouts. She couldn’t move or even scream.

What should I do?

Enter the space now?

Should I? Or shouldn’t I?

Yes, I’ll risk it! It’s better for them to discover my secret than for me to be taken away.

If I’m taken, I can probably escape eventually, but there’s no telling what might happen in the meantime. My biggest worry is Xiao Yunjing.

Besides, with pursuers closing in, Qingchen won’t dare to linger here.

With that resolve, Gu Qingli focused her will and vanished from Qingchen’s arms into her space.

Qingchen, still rushing at full speed, suddenly found his arms empty. He looked down, blinked.

Where did she go?

Da Bai was closing in from behind. Qingchen had no time to think; he shot into the woods.

Da Bai reached the edge of the woods and skidded to a halt. Its master’s scent disappeared here.

“Da Bai, why aren’t you chasing?” Wuqing had only seen Qingchen pause for a breath before darting straight into the woods. She hadn’t noticed whether the person was still in his arms.

Yun No. 20 and the others who had followed caught up. “Wuqing, why aren’t you chasing?”

Wuqing shook her head, looking at Da Bai, who had lain down and was whimpering, refusing to move forward.

This indicated a deadly danger within the forest, so they all stopped to discuss their next move.

It was also a chance for everyone to replenish their internal energy. An entire night of rapid pursuit had left them all exhausted.

「Meanwhile, in the woods」

Qingchen stared blankly at his empty embrace.

How could a living person just disappear like that? How is it possible?

He could even still feel the residual warmth.

How could a person simply vanish into thin air?

He glanced back at the group outside, noticing they had stopped at the exact spot where Gu Qingli had disappeared, not advancing further.

He, too, simply sat cross-legged on the ground and began to meditate to recover his internal energy.

The two parties remained at a standoff.

However, Wuqing sent out word of Gu Qingli’s disappearance.

「Inside her space」

Gu Qingli couldn’t move or speak, nor did she know what the situation was outside.

She lay on the ground, wondering when to go out.

Will anyone be outside? It would be fine if it’s Wuqing and the others, but if it’s Qingchen’s people, that would be troublesome.

However, I guess there’s an eighty percent chance it’s Wuqing’s group out there. But if too much time passes, that might not be the case.

Sigh!

Gu Qingli sighed internally.

The secret of the space can’t be hidden any longer.

The secret I tried so hard to protect has been exposed so easily.

Oh well. What’s fated is fated; one can’t escape it.

Gu Qingli gritted her teeth, focused her will, and exited the space.

Anxious and uneasy, Wuqing and the others were preparing to enter the woods; if Da Bai wouldn’t go, they would.

But at that very moment, Gu Qingli simply materialized out of thin air right in front of Da Bai.

Wuqing… was shocked.

The people from the Secret Sect… were shocked as well.

Da Bai… WHIMPERED…

Master is indeed here!

Wuqing snapped back to her senses, leaped down, picked up Gu Qingli, jumped onto Da Bai’s back, and the group sped away.

In the woods, Qingchen abruptly saw them leaving, catching a glimpse of a light green dress fluttering in the wind.

“Damn it!” Qingchen slammed his fist on the ground.

“Young Master.” Secret Guard No.2 returned with the injured Secret Guards. Seeing their furious Young Master, they immediately knelt.

“Go back.” Qingchen was seething with uncontrollable rage, but the person had already been taken. Chasing them now would be futile.

I’ll return and recuperate for a while before making new plans. After all, I know where her home is.

But this ability of hers to vanish into thin air… I must find out how she does it.

Otherwise, even if I capture her, it will be useless.

「Meanwhile」

After rushing for fifty li, Wuqing finally let Da Bai stop when she saw no one was pursuing them.

“Phew, Young Miss.” Wuqing breathed a sigh of relief. They had finally found their Young Miss. She then immediately unsealed Gu Qingli’s acupoints.
