1865 Result 3

“What were you searching for?” Zhou Huaijin asked in a gentle tone.

As the two of them stood side by side, the others quietly withdrew.

Gu Chaoyan struggled to find the right words to explain about the space and Huang Fu. She felt it would be best to wait until Huang Fu was present to disclose everything.

She shook her head slightly. “Nothing.”

It was the first time she had been so close to Zhou Huaijin.

Perhaps it was due to the periodic provisions Huang Fu had been providing them, allowing them to recover quickly. They didn’t appear tired at all, despite the recent chaos they had endured.

It brought her a sense of relief.

“Have they been faring well recently? How are their injuries? Have they healed?” Gu Chaoyan asked Dao Seeking with genuine concern.

“They have all recovered, and everything is fine. We find food and herbs waiting for us in a designated spot every day. Did you arrange for someone to leave them there?” Zhou Huaijin inquired with a hint of confusion.

Contrasting the initial clumsiness when they left provisions for them, the subsequent supplies were neatly placed in open areas.

Gu Chaoyan grew perplexed as well.

Had they not encountered Huang Fu?

She had asked Huang Fu to deliver those items, so they had never crossed paths before?

If that were the case, it would be even more challenging for her to explain.

She briefly replied, “I have acquired a Master during these days. He possesses advanced skills but moves like a ghost. He is the one who provided those items to me. You can meet him when the opportunity arises.”

Zhou Huaijin had no idea of the events that had unfolded in the past two days.

He nodded in response.

She embraced him tightly but refrained from any further action.

Feeling his breath, Gu Chaoyan’s mind wandered to Huang Fu’s words. Despite the cold poison being detoxified, she still had traces of the Happiness Drug within her body, triggering faint memories of its effects.

For some inexplicable reason, she suddenly felt extremely bashful in Zhou Huaijin’s presence.

Overwhelmed by her embarrassment, she gently pushed him away.

Confused, Zhou Huaijin looked down at Gu Chaoyan, seeking an explanation.

They had grown accustomed to their close proximity, so why was she pushing him away now?

Perplexed, he awaited an answer.

Panicking, Gu Chaoyan averted her gaze, her cheeks flushing. She looked elsewhere and murmured, “It’s nothing, really. I just remembered something. Elder Gao Xiu mentioned needing my assistance.”

“…”

“I’ll go and see what he needs. Thanks to him, the Fire Lotus Flower incident has been somewhat resolved. Please support him as much as you can. You’ve just arrived, so take the time to get settled.” Gu Chaoyan quickly made arrangements.

And with that, she departed.

Zhou Huaijin remained bewildered as Gu Chaoyan left the room.

She simply wanted to step outside and clear her head of the swirling thoughts.

Unbeknownst to her, as soon as she opened the door, Gao Xiu entered.

Sensing his gaze upon her, Gu Chaoyan approached him and inquired, “Elder Gao Xiu, what do you need from me?”

“Pheonix Girl, I have a few matters to discuss with you,” Gao Xiu replied.
