After her rebirth, she became the sweetheart of the sickly uncle.

Su Qingcheng's face remained as usual and she said calmly: "She follows me every day, so she naturally understands a lot more."

After hearing this, Gu Huoyan held his head in his hands, as if he was the only one in the world who didn't know what was going on, until he saw the village chief looking around.

"Village chief, you don't know what this is, do you?" he asked as if grasping a life-saving straw.

The village chief shook his head with a confused look on his face, and said with a wince: "The wind is really blowing. Maybe the mountain god is angry. Let's go down the mountain."

"This is not some mountain god," Ye Tantai tapped on several steps with his crutch, and finally stopped at one place, "This is the meeting gift that he gave us."

After that, he smashed the steps with all his strength.

In an instant, the sound of wind in his ears suddenly stopped, the thick fog around him dissipated, and a dilapidated temple appeared in front of him.

"This is... the mountain temple..." The village chief was stunned, his mouth opened as if he could swallow a chicken.

Gu Huoyan patted the village chief carelessly and closed his jaw, which was about to drop in shock: "Don't you come here often to worship? Why are you so surprised?"

He glanced at the people around him. Except for him, the faces of everyone else were not particularly good-looking.

Only then did Gu Huoyan become alert: "What's wrong?"

"The village chief said that the mountain temple rolled down with the falling rocks," Su Qingcheng frowned slightly, "What is this in front of me?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a baby's cry came from the mountain temple.

Gu Huoyan, who has always been most afraid of ghosts and gods, immediately jumped behind Ye Tantai and trembled: "Where did this baby come from in this barren mountain?"

"I'm afraid, this is the second meeting gift he has given us."

"Dear gentlemen, let's not go in. Let's go down the mountain quickly!" the village chief said tremblingly.

Several people ignored him.

Ye Tantai glanced at Su Qingcheng and said softly: "Princess, you will always be behind me."

Su Qingcheng didn't show any pretense, she nodded and followed him into the mountain temple.

Ye Tantai was in the front, the village chief was in the end, and Su Qingcheng, Gu Huoyan and Wu Ya were sandwiched in the middle.

Just when Su Qingcheng stepped into the mountain temple with her left foot, she suddenly couldn't feel the presence of Gu Huoyan behind her.

The surroundings were dark, and Su Qingcheng could not see anything.

She took a deep breath and tried to stay calm, her voice trembling slightly: "Ye Tantai, are you there?"

She was answered by silence.

Su Qingcheng was originally afraid of the dark, but now she had to force herself to adapt to this dark environment, comforting herself that Ye Tantai would definitely find her.

She squatted down and huddled together to make herself feel a little more secure. She closed her eyes and recalled everything that had happened since she stepped onto the first staircase.

The wind changed from the southeast to the northwest, the stone steps to break the formation were the 999th, and the mountain temple that appeared faced the Qingshan ridge...

The dark environment makes Qingcheng's brain extremely active.

This is an excellent Qimen Dunjia technique that takes advantage of the right time, location, and people.

And it was the seemingly harmless village chief who lured them into the trap from beginning to end.

If it weren't for him, they wouldn't have been stupidly climbing the stairs for an hour before realizing something was wrong.

After thinking about this clearly, Su Qingcheng suddenly felt that the darkness in front of her was no longer scary. She took a deep breath and stood up from the ground.

She took off the hairpin Ye Tantai gave her, put it on the ground and turned it hard.

The hairpin rotated and finally stopped.

Su Qingcheng picked up the hairpin and walked in the direction the hairpin pointed.

After walking for a while, a familiar smell rushed into her nose, and her eyes were slightly moist.

"Ye Tantai!"

When Ye Tantai heard Su Qingcheng's voice, he immediately identified her location and strode towards her.

In the darkness, Su Qingcheng was pulled into a warm embrace.

She buried her head on Ye Tantai's chest and opened her arms to hug him back.

In an instant, the darkness dissipated.

The two of them hugged each other in the dilapidated mountain temple.

the other side.

Gu Huoyan suddenly realized that Su Qingcheng in front of him was gone. He turned around to see if the person behind him was still there, only to find that Wu Ya had already fallen to the ground.

"you……"

The village chief stood outside the temple, looking at Gu Huoyan coldly, with a smile on his lips.

Gu Huoyan felt that his smile was really sinister and couldn't help but shudder, not daring to think the worst.

"Well...she must be sleepy..."

He approached the village chief with a smile, pretending as if nothing happened, and said, "Let's go down the mountain."

The village chief remained silent. When Gu Huoyan stepped forward, he stepped back, giving him no chance to get close.

Gu Huoyan frowned slightly, a strange emotion flashed across his eyes, and he secretly tightened the needle in his hand.

Since I can't find a chance to get close, I'm afraid I can only use another thing...

Gu Huoyan put his other hand into his clothes and grabbed a handful of unknown powder. He still had an indifferent look on his face: "What's wrong, village chief? It's too weird here. Let's go down the mountain."

"Didn't you recognize me?" The village chief laughed suddenly, then coughed violently, "Haha...cough cough cough..."

He reached up to cover his mouth, and when he put his hand down, it was covered with blood from coughing up.

"Why are you here? Where is the fire charm?"

Gu Huoyan instantly realized who the person in front of him was, his body unconsciously went into a protective state, and his voice was full of coldness.

"Huo Mei...of course she is with my sister." The fake village head raised his eyes, and the smile on his lips revealed a sinister look.

Gu Huoyan's heart was like an ice cellar in winter.

Everyone in the Gu family knows that the daughter of Jared Gu and his daughter was known to be short-lived since she was born. Now, more than ten years later, the baby girl has naturally...

"Why are you so cruel! Huo Mei was also abandoned by the Gu family since childhood. Your grudges with the Gu family have nothing to do with her!"

Gu Huoyan was angry. He directly raised his hand from his clothes, and a handful of unknown powder instantly surrounded the fake village head.

In the blink of an eye, Gu Huoyan had already drawn out his dagger and stabbed it in the direction of the fake village chief, with murderous intent in every move.

The fake village head could handle it at first, but his body was too weak and he would end up being killed by Gu Huoyan due to lack of energy if he kept on defending.

His purpose was not to anger Gu Huoyan...

"Don't you want to ask where your master is?"

Gu Huoyan's hand paused, but his movement did not stop, and the dagger came directly to the neck of the fake village chief.

"You can't trap him."

He has confidence in Ye Tantai. Only such a man would not be trapped by such small tricks.

The fake village chief sneered, the sharp dagger was at his neck, but he didn't panic at all.

"You are right, Ye Tantai is an opponent that cannot be underestimated."

"Hmph, stop talking nonsense, I'll ask you again, where is my sister!"

The fake village chief suddenly laughed: "At this time, you are still caring about your sister... As expected, the previous generation had little brotherly love, but here we care very much..."
