Volume 1 Chapter 29 Return
"Senior, what's going on...?"
"Look at your ignorant appearance. It's just a spiritual possession. You can also interpret it as seizing the body."
…
Obviously, Huofeng's explanation had a strong impact on Gu Xiao's mind.
"Okay, my body is going to sleep."
After the fire phoenix finished speaking, its body turned into a streak of fire and appeared on the sycamore tree in the blink of an eye.
Then, Gu Xiao felt his vision blur, and when his vision returned, he had reached the foot of Chishan Mountain.
And...it seems to be the place where Huofeng fought with the Fang family masters before!
The sight was devastated, rocks were shattered, and lava was everywhere. It was like a doomsday scene. Especially the power of heaven and earth that had not yet dissipated around him shocked Gu Xiao's mind again.
"Little guy, what are you doing standing still? Why don't you hurry up and lead the way!"
At this moment, Gu Xiao heard a voice in his ears. When he turned around, he saw Fang Guling's face. To be precise, it was Fang Guling's "shell".
At this time, "Fang Guling" could not see any stiffness at all, nor could he feel a trace of lifelessness. He was even a bit more agile than Fang Guling's original self.
Is this the method of descendants of the Holy Spirit?!
Gu Xiao secretly thought to himself, quickly calmed down, coughed slightly and said: "Senior, Cheng Fei's descendants are in Yukang City, Yue State. The journey is long and it may take some time."
"Yue Kingdom?" Huo Feng frowned, looking thoughtful, and it took him a long time to suddenly realize: "You are talking about Zuoqiu's family, right?"
Zuoqiu's family?
Gu Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the Zuoqiu family mentioned by Huo Feng should be the royal family of the Yue Kingdom.
"Okay, then I know where it is."
After Huofeng finished speaking, he grabbed Gu Xiao's shoulders. Before Gu Xiao could react, he grabbed Gu Xiao and flew into the air!
Suddenly leaving the ground, the strong feeling of weightlessness made Gu Xiao panic and his whole body tensed up. Before he could adapt, the fire phoenix flew rapidly.
The scenery quickly retreated, and Gu Xiao felt dizzy again. Fortunately, the fire phoenix was the overlord of the air after all. Even if it drove Fang Guling, who had just entered the Taoist platform, the flight was very smooth. Gu Xiao soon adapted to it.
"Little guy, how do you feel about flying in the air for the first time?"
Hearing Huofeng's voice, Gu Xiao turned around and saw Huofeng with a teasing look on his face and an embarrassed smile: "It's... not bad."
"Really? That's good." The fire phoenix smiled lightly and stopped talking, but its flying speed accelerated again.
After adapting to flying in the sky, due to his field of vision, Gu Xiao, who was overlooking the earth, felt an inexplicable feeling of standing on the top of the gods, which made Gu Xiao feel the urge to shout!
But for some reason, Gu Qilin's face appeared in Gu Xiao's mind at this time.
Gu Qilin, the reason why you are so arrogant is because you saw this scene?!
Gu Xiao's eyes flashed with coldness, and his fists clenched unconsciously.
As if sensing Gu Xiao's emotional changes, Huo Feng turned his head. Seeing Gu Xiao's expression of bitterness and hatred, he roughly guessed something.
"Little guy, it's good to be strong, but without a matching state of mind, you will only end up destroying yourself."
The sound of the fire phoenix, like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning, shocked the soul, and the hatred in Gu Xiao's heart immediately faded away like a tide.
Understanding that this was Huo Feng's prompting, Gu Xiao took a deep breath and said sincerely: "Thank you, senior, I saved you."
"That's good." Huo Feng nodded, said nothing, and went on his way with peace of mind.
Because they were flying in the air, they had already left the outskirts of the desert in less than half an hour. The journey to Yue, which originally took seven days, took just one day to enter the country.
The first flight in the air lasted a day and a night, and even Gu Xiao's physical strength was a bit too much. After a night's rest and some repairs, the two of them arrived outside Yukang City early the next morning.
Calculating the time, it has been nearly two months since he left Yukang City, and the things he encountered in these two months were more exciting than he had been in the past sixteen years.
The danger of the sand sea, the talent of the children of the great Xia Dynasty family, the power of the fire phoenix...
Looking at the various things in Yukang City, Gu Xiao could not help but feel a little emotional.
Suddenly, Gu Xiao's mood changed, and his whole temperament also changed.
Huofeng on the side naturally sensed Gu Xiao's change, tilted his head slightly, and showed a faint smile.
"Little guy, you will spend a lot of time feeling emotional in the future..."
Gu Xiao twitched the corner of his mouth and showed a little embarrassment on his face. After touching his nose, he led the way. After a while, he arrived at Jubaoxuan and met Cheng Qinghe.
The moment Cheng Qinghe saw Gu Xiao, his face was full of shock, because he sensed that Gu Xiao's strength was already at the sixth level of Qi Condensation!
Before Gu Xiao left, he was only at the eighth level of body tempering. In just two months, he had made such a dramatic improvement. Even though Cheng Qinghe was well-informed, he couldn't help but sigh that Gu Xiao's talent was no less than that of Gu Qilin!
“Looking at the relaxed look on my little friend’s face, I must have not left empty-handed!”
Cheng Qinghe's enthusiasm made Gu Xiao smile knowingly.
"Just good luck."
Cheng Qinghe was about to say something else, but Huo Feng spoke first: "Are you a descendant of Cheng Fei?"
Hearing the sound, Cheng Qinghe turned his head to look at Huofeng. After seeing his face clearly, Cheng Qinghe's face showed surprise and he blurted out: "What a blessing, little friend!"
As soon as he heard this, Gu Xiao knew that the old guy in front of him had a deep misunderstanding, and he quickly coughed and said: "Ahem! Mr. Cheng, this is Senior Huofeng."
"I understand, I understand, Fire Phoenix... Senior?!" Cheng Qinghe was stunned for a moment, then took a breath of cold air and pulled Gu Xiao aside.
"Little friend, the fire phoenix you are talking about, could it be..."
It was the first time that Gu Xiao saw Cheng Qinghe's sly expression, which was particularly interesting, but he still nodded slightly.
After receiving the affirmative answer, Cheng Qinghe almost couldn't breathe. It took him a long time to regain his composure, then he arrived in front of Huofeng and gave a big salute.
An old man with gray hair was giving a junior gift to a young woman in her prime. The expression on Gu Xiao's face was extremely strange.
But Cheng Qinghe didn't feel anything was wrong. His enthusiasm was so frightening that even Huo Feng couldn't stand it.
"Okay! I came here this time just because I promised Cheng Fei that I would help him take care of his descendants, that's all."
Cheng Qinghe is an old man, so how could he fail to understand the meaning of Huofeng's words? He nodded quickly and said: "I understand, I understand! Senior, you are tired from traveling and traveling, why don't you go and rest first?"
Cheng Qinghe's humble attitude made Huofeng's face improve. Cheng Qinghe was overjoyed and quickly called for Huofeng to be taken to another courtyard to rest.
After Huofeng left, he asked Gu Xiao about the specific situation.
Gu Xiaoyan briefly and comprehensively explained the situation along the way. Although it was brief, Cheng Qinghe still looked excited after listening to it.
After telling this, Gu Xiao looked solemn and asked: "By the way, Mr. Cheng, have you heard about Huang Mo who is chasing me?"
Cheng Qinghe frowned, thought for a moment and then shook his head: "I've never heard of it, but you just said that Huang Mo can use fourth-level combat skills, but he doesn't look like a local killer from the Yue Kingdom."
Indeed, looking at the entire Yue Kingdom, except for the royal family, that is, the Zuoqiu family has fourth-level combat skills that are comparable to fifth-level, most of the other families are the same as the Lin family, and third-level combat skills are already considered as clan-killing skills.
"Mr. Cheng, do you think the Lin family has the ability to hire an assassin with fourth-level combat skills?"
Hearing Gu Xiao's question, Cheng Qinghe couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, sensing that there was something in Gu Xiao's words.
Combined with Gu Xiao's narration, he intentionally or unintentionally revealed his whereabouts, Cheng Qinghe suddenly felt a chill in his heart: "Are you suspecting that he is a killer sent by me?"
"Mr. Cheng is joking." Gu Xiao laughed lightly, but there was a clear coldness on his face: "It's just that when I go to the desert this time, apart from Lin Xueyu, only you, Mr. Cheng, know..."
Cheng Qinghe looked anxious and raised his hand to make a mysterious gesture: "Little friend, if the killer I send kills you, thousands of ants will eat your heart, and life will be worse than death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Qinghe flashed three times in front of him, and Gu Xiao felt like he was being brushed by a mysterious force.
After heaving a sigh of relief, Gu Xiao apologized: "I'm sorry, Mr. Cheng, I..."
"It's okay, it's okay!" Cheng Qinghe waved his hand to interrupt Gu Xiao's apology, and then said with a serious look on his face: "Little friend, do you need me to check it for you?"
Cheng Qinghe was full of sincerity, and Gu Xiao did not refuse, nodding and saying: "Then I will thank Cheng Lao."
"It's obvious what I said. My little friend first helped me unravel the inheritance of my ancestors and then guided me to get started. It was already a great favor. Now, you also bring Senior Fire Phoenix to look after me. It's another favor. Thank you.
Compared with such a great favor, tracking down the person behind this is nothing more than a trivial matter."
Cheng Qinghe said one favor after another, which made Gu Xiao feel a little embarrassed.
"However, little friend, I am a little curious about the relationship between you and the Lin family..."
Halfway through the words, Cheng Qinghe noticed that Gu Xiao's expression was different and immediately shut up. However, after Gu Xiao noticed it, he smiled and told the whole story.
Hearing that the trouble was caused by the Huitianxuan Ming Sword he had given as a gift, Cheng Qinghe became a little angry. He got up and wanted to go to the Lin family to ask for an explanation, but was stopped by Gu Xiao.
"Mr. Cheng, I have my own plans for this matter. Let's not talk about it for now. Now that I have obtained the Fengni sycamore tree, I still hope that Mr. Cheng can tell me about the other medicinal materials."
When Gu Xiao said this, Cheng Qinghe gave up and handed a prescription filled with medicinal ingredients to Gu Xiao for review. However, Gu Xiao frowned after reading it.
This is because most of the medicinal materials recorded in this recipe are common, but even if they are common medicinal materials, they are not affordable by Gu Xiao at this time in terms of the required years.
Cheng Qinghe, who was on the side, saw Gu Xiao's expression and understood what Gu Xiao was thinking. He chuckled and said, "Don't worry, little friend. I, Jubaoxuan, will buy the common medicinal materials. I can repay your kindness."
"This..." Gu Xiao wanted to refuse, but seeing Cheng Qinghe's firm expression, he nodded and accepted the sentiment.
Seeing that Gu Xiao accepted his love, Cheng Qinghe was in a good mood, but he suddenly showed embarrassment and sighed softly: "It's just that there are golden rings and lotus flowers in it, but I have to find a way for myself."
