Waking up from the drowsiness, Gu Jingyue narrowed her eyes and saw that it was bright outside the window.

"Sister Lai, you're awake!" Du Nan stood by her side, watched her open her eyes, jumped up immediately, rushed out without saying a word, and yelled for people to come in from outside.

Gu Jingyue touched her face with her hands. Fortunately, the mask was still there, even though it was useless.

A crowd of people came rushing in, some she knew and some she didn't know. Zhang Yi and Qinghong ran in the front and threw themselves beside the bed, but they didn't dare to disturb her, they just stayed by her side quietly. He said softly, "Sister Lai, what do you think? Does the wound still hurt?"

"It's okay." Gu Jingyue coughed lightly, showing a very faint smile, "Today is...how many days after the competition?"

"It's already the eighth day." A soft voice came from the door, Gu Jingyue looked up, Hongye supported Huanyan, she also looked very weak, her head was wrapped in a thick bandage, her face was pale and not the slightest bit With a bloody complexion, she looked at Gu Jingyue with a bright smile.

Supporting herself to sit up, Gu Jingyue also smiled at the two of them. There were too many people crowded in the room, most of them came to watch the excitement. Gu Jingyue whispered something to Zhang Yi and asked him to take the others out. Keep a few you know.

Finally, it was quite clean, Gu Jingyue was able to take a breather, and asked Du Nan to bring clear water for him, and took a couple of sips.

"You're awake. I thought you'd sleep until after the Sanjue Competition begins." Huanyan sat beside her bed and smiled at her.

"It's because I've slept long enough." She slept until her mind was a little dazed.

"The news about you outside is going crazy. I think you are going to be more famous than Xiao Hongye." Huanyan pulled the hand of the woman in red beside her and winked at her, "Don't just stand there like this , Xiao Hongye, didn't you say that you admire Miss Beilai very much?"

"Speak less, don't disturb her rest." Hongye tapped her on the head.

Qinghong stared at the side with straight eyes, and he couldn't help but say: "Excuse me for interrupting, I heard that the conflict between the two of you...is very serious."

"Who told you that?" Huanyan frowned and looked at him, "Xiao Hongye and I have known each other since childhood, but we separated for some reason. I went to Yunzhong Pavilion, and she stayed at Tianjiu Gate."

"But...everyone says you are old enemies?"

"Old enemy is not counted, Xiao Hongye just refuses to admit defeat."

"It's alright, I just woke up, you bother me so much, aren't you afraid of being kicked out." Hongye had no choice but to smile apologetically at Gu Jingyue who was enjoying watching.

"It's nothing, it's interesting to see you talking." Gu Jingyue also smiled back at her.

"Sister Lai, Sect Leader Mo said a few days ago that we should go find her, and we will be here in three days." Zhang Yi brought her a bowl of light porridge and handed it to her.

"See us?" Gu Jingyue took it, without even raising his eyes, took a sip, and said.

"Yes, Sister Lai, maybe the master will train us alone this time." Zhang Yi rolled his eyes, touched his head when he saw Hongye and smiled honestly, "Senior Sister Hongye, don't blame us for occupying the ink palm. door."

"No," Hongye smiled at everyone casually, "If you need my help in the future, feel free to come to me."

"We'll go see her in three days." Gu Jingyue raised her hand and drank the porridge in one gulp.

"It's still hot!" Zhang Yi stepped forward to grab her bowl, looked at her dumbfounded and said, "Sister Lai, are you alright?"

"It's okay." Gu Jingyue closed his eyes, "I want to rest for a while."

"Then let's go out." Seeing that she seemed to be in a bad mood, Zhang Yi silently called everyone to leave.

The hot porridge scratched her throat, bringing a stinging pain. She felt the hotness, and suddenly remembered the first few months when Mulan disappeared. Panic and pregnancy discomfort made her stay up all night for several days. Insomnia, giving birth to Fenghuan, she wished to go to Zhongzhou to find her lover immediately, but the young child who was waiting to be fed, and her own strength made her give up this idea. She waited for five years and endured it for five years , but she never thought that she would be the first to meet after coming to Zhongzhou... Zero.

Why was Mulan taken away five years ago, where is Mulan now?She has countless questions to ask, just three days later...

The trauma on her body has almost healed, but the magic power is still not working smoothly. After adjusting her breath and removing the gauze on her body, she followed Zhang Yi and the other three to Ling's temporary residence.

The mansion was built on the top of an ordinary mountain in the inner courtyard, and they walked up the mountain path. Before they started to walk, they only felt that their vision was blurred for a while. They had already reached the top of the mountain, and a quiet metal compound loomed in front of them.

"No one is guarding." Qinghong looked around and swallowed, "Why do I feel that something is wrong."

"Master Mo Qing has profound magic power, so why does she need others to guard the gate for her?" Du Nan made a face at him, "You are really cowardly, Qinghong."

"Don't mess around..." Zhang Yi scolded them, the metal door in front of them suddenly opened, and with the sound of the wind, three wooden boxes glowing with white light suddenly flew out and landed in front of the three of them.

"This, this is, a meeting gift?" Qinghong looked at the box in front of her, wanting to accept it but dared not.

"Inside the box, there is a set of exercises suitable for you. Practice more after you go back, and the three of you can retreat." A calm voice came from the deep darkness behind the gate.

"It's really a meeting gift." Qinghong grinned, took it with both hands respectfully, and bowed to the door, "Thank you, head." He is a smart person, so he naturally knows that if someone is willing to give something, it doesn't necessarily mean that he is willing to accept them. disciple, so he was not called Master.

Both Zhang Yi and Du Nan followed him to salute, and when he lifted his back, Zhang Yi looked at Gu Jingyue worriedly, and said in a low voice, "Sister Lai, you are alone...are you okay?"

"What can be the matter." Qinghong grabbed him, winked at him, and said in a low voice: "Our sister Lai is so good, maybe this is her chance to enter the inner courtyard, let's not stay here Holding her back."

"Let's go!" He grabbed Zhang Yi and partnered with Du Nan to drag him away.

Zhang Yi sighed silently, gritted his teeth and shouted at Gu Jingyue: "Sister Lai, we'll go back and wait for you, you can do everything... Think more!"

"En." Gu Jingyue looked at them sideways, and nodded slightly.

Walking along the tunnel in the darkness, after walking for about a stick of incense, there was light around. Gu Jingyue raised his eyes and looked over. In front of him was a dark hall with long, white columns and simple carvings, floating on the top. With a few oil lamps on and off, in the center of the hall, a woman in white stood there, waiting quietly.

Gu Jingyue stopped at the entrance of the tunnel, looked at Ling, and remained silent.

After a while, Zero's voice came over, "Long time no see, ma'am."

"Five years is not a long time." Gu Jingyue walked over and stopped not far from her, "You haven't changed much, and I haven't changed much either."

"Little master... I'm afraid he is more than four years old?"

"Hmm." Gu Jingyue stared at her with a cold look on his face, as if he didn't really want to talk about it with her.

"That's good." Ling lowered his head, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a hint of joy in his tone, "Master knows, I think he will be very happy."

"You still call Mu Lan your master?" Gu Jingyue said sarcastically, "Where is Mu Lan now? I came across the snowy region just to bring her back."

"Sorry, ma'am, I can't say that when I was ordered to bring my master to Zhongzhou, I was also ordered not to tell anyone where she was."

Clenching her fingers tightly, a few traces of golden magic power fluctuated faintly around Gu Jingyue. Looking at the calm woman in front of her, the anger in her heart was almost uncontrollable. She gritted her teeth and said word by word: "You know what, Zero, when you and Mulan just disappeared in front of my eyes, I never thought that you took Mulan away. Siqian said that you are the most heartfelt among them, so I think maybe you were taken away together After leaving, how could you do something to hurt Mulan? I never doubted you until Master Miton found out that the owner of the scroll was you. I took her away, but for the next year, two years, three years... until I left, I stayed in Beimo, let Bai Ling and the others stay in Luolan City, and let Erwan wait in Gu's City, I asked four thousand three thousand days and nights to check on the edge of the snowy area, but failed to receive a single word, so I had to believe that you really betrayed Mu Lan, took her away, and even let her go. She can't even bring me any news. Can you tell me now, what are you doing? Is it for the Great Wilderness? For Mulan? There must be a reason!"

Gu Jingyue's anger seemed to have not infected the woman in front of her at all. Ling looked up at her, and seemed to be looking at her back, his clear eyes dimmed, and his voice was as light as clouds, "I also... don't know why ...", her voice paused, she shook her head invisibly, then raised her head and said seriously after a while: "No matter what, madam shouldn't come, madam brought other people? Where are they? I'll send you back together .”

Pupils dilated suddenly, Gu Jingyue asked, "Send me away? What about Mulan?"

"She wants to stay here and wait for her fate. Whether she dies or lives, she should not be in charge of the madam..."

"Yeah, I shouldn't be in charge, but it's a pity that you shouldn't be in charge of my going or staying." Gu Jingyue sneered, turned around and walked away.

A gust of wind came from behind, and Gu Jingyue felt a chill in his heart, instantly took out the Qianfeng Sword, and stabbed it back without hesitation.

The blade entered Zero's shoulder without any hindrance, and blood gushed out, oozing flesh and blood, staining the skirt of her clothes red, but she just stretched out her right hand, without a trace of magical power, as if she was just trying to grab Gu Jingyue.

Gu Jingyue's heart trembled violently, she stepped back and pulled out the sword.

"You..." Frowning, Gu Jingyue stepped forward to help her.

"Go." Zero took a few steps back and looked at her calmly, as if he didn't notice that he was injured.

"Just now I……"

"Don't stay at Tianjiu Gate anymore, there is no news of the master here." Ling turned his back and walked slowly into the depths of the hall.
