Meanwhile, the real Gu Sheng was swiftly darting through the mountain forest, carrying Xie Qingxuan in his arms.
Sweat beads glistened on his forehead, and the Nine Great Cave Heavens within him were operating frantically, leaving deep cracks in the ground with every step he took.
"Gu... Young Master Gu..."
Xie Qingxuan spoke weakly, her pale face full of guilt.
"Put me down... I'm only a burden to you..."
Gu Sheng furrowed his brows tightly, not answering, only holding the person in his arms more securely.
"Really..."
Xie Qingxuan struggled to lift her head, tears in her eyes.
"Your Split Body Technique can't deceive those Sect Realm experts for long... If you let me go, you'll have a chance..."
"Shut up!"
Gu Sheng hissed softly, yet his voice was unusually gentle.
"I, Gu Sheng, have never left things half done."
Xie Qingxuan's eyes glistened with tears as she trembled, taking out a jade box from her bosom.
