Chapter 343: Gu Ze, the Man in White
Early morning, Prince's Mansion, side hall.
A palace maid's voice suddenly rang out, like a pebble breaking the tranquil surface of a lake: "I heard that the Madam is really angry this time and returned to Xie Village at dawn!"
"What else can we do if Madam doesn't leave? The Crown Princess is pregnant now!" another palace maid said, her voice full of helplessness.
"Alas, the madam is so pitiful. Not only was her husband taken away by someone, but now she even has a child!" A young eunuch couldn't help but sigh, his voice full of sympathy.
"If I were the lady, I would never pay any attention to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The Crown Princess is going too far!" said the first palace maid indignantly.
The young eunuch quickly spoke up to stop him: "Alright, stop talking now! Don't let the Crown Princess hear it!"
As soon as they finished speaking, they hurried away, and the sound of their footsteps gradually disappeared at the end of the corridor.
This conversation outside the side hall was heard word for word by Ge Chunmei in the room.
She secretly rejoiced in her heart and murmured, "Is Wang Xinyao really gone? Does this mean I have a chance?
Wang Xinyao, you chose to leave, don't blame me, I really can't live without His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! "
At the same time, Wang Xinyao, along with Chen Jingyuan, Yang Hui, Xiao Xizi, Xie Xiaogang and Chen Zhanggui, had left the Prince's Mansion and set out on the journey back to Xiejia Village.
They traveled a long distance, walking during the day and sleeping at night. One day, they arrived at a place called Qingyan Mountain.
At this time, it was already late, and the surrounding mountains and forests were gradually shrouded in dusk.
Legend has it that there are many ferocious monsters in this forest, so they walked carefully on the mountain road. Everyone was on edge, alert to the movements around them.
Suddenly, a low roar came from the woods next to it, and a huge black bear rushed out.
This black bear was more than two people tall, with thick black hair all over its body. Its copper-bell-like eyes flashed with a fierce green light, which made people shudder.
"Be careful, this is a Black Wind Bear that has become a spirit, it's extremely ferocious!" Xiao Xizi's face suddenly changed and he quickly warned.
Upon hearing this, Wang Xinyao, Xie Xiaogang and Manager Chen immediately clenched their swords, assumed defensive postures, and prepared for battle.
The black wind bear roared and pounced towards them at an extremely fast speed, bringing up a gust of wind.
Xiao Xizi was the first to rush forward, with a surge of aura around him. He displayed the powerful strength of the Venerable Realm and engaged in a fierce fight with the Black Wind Bear.
For a moment, fists and kicks clashed and roars were heard.
Wang Xinyao was not willing to be left behind. She was agile and displayed superb martial arts, cooperating with Xiao Xizi to attack the Black Wind Bear.
Although the Black Wind Bear was extremely ferocious, it gradually became unable to withstand the joint siege of six people and had several scars on its body.
The Black Wind Bear howled towards the sky, and the sound echoed through the mountains and forests.
Just when Wang Xinyao and others thought victory was in sight, something unexpected happened.
Five more black wind bears rushed out from all directions and surrounded them.
It turned out that the black wind bear was calling its companions.
Faced with a large number of Black Wind Bears, the pressure on Wang Xinyao, Xie Xiaogang and others suddenly increased dramatically.
But they had no intention of retreating. With determination in their eyes, they continued to fight a desperate battle with the Black Wind Bear.
One man fought against a bear. During the fierce battle, Xie Xiaogang was accidentally scratched by the sharp claws of a black wind bear. Blood flowed from his arm and instantly dyed his sleeves red.
Seeing this, Wang Xinyao anxiously shouted, "Xiaogang, are you okay?"
"Don't worry, sister. I'm fine and can continue fighting!" Xie Xiaogang said, gritting his teeth and enduring the pain.
Among them, the most seriously injured was Yang Hui, who had the lowest strength. His blood was all over the body and he was about to become food for the Black Wind Bear.
Chen Jingyuan immediately used all his spiritual power to quickly get to Yang Hui's body and rescue him.
But he himself was scratched by the paw of a black wind bear that he had fought against before, and blood was flowing.
Yang Hui screamed out in a voice filled with remorse: "Master!"
"Jingyuan!" Wang Xinyao was heartbroken and quickly approached Chen Jingyuan and Yang Hui.
Xiao Xizi was fighting a hard battle with the original Black Wind Bear. He was secretly amazed in his heart. He didn't expect that after he became a Venerable, the enemies he encountered were still so powerful.
Just as they were struggling and gradually losing strength, a melodious flute sound suddenly came from afar.
The sound of the flute is like the sound of nature, as if it has magical power.
After hearing the sound of the flute, the black wind bears stopped attacking. Their originally ferocious eyes became gentle, and their huge bodies slowly relaxed.
Taking advantage of the Black Wind Bear's docile gaze, several people raised their swords and quickly stabbed them into the Black Wind Bear's heart. The Black Wind Bear fell down without any resistance.
At this time, a man in white clothes, holding a bamboo flute, slowly walked out of the woods.
His face was as white as jade, his eyes were clear and bright, and his figure was graceful, like a banished immortal, exuding an extraordinary temperament.
"Thank you very much for your help, sir. May I know your name? I will definitely repay you in the future!" Wang Xinyao stepped forward and said with gratitude.
The man smiled slightly and said in a gentle voice, "You're welcome. My name is Gu Ze, and I'm a beast tamer. I came to Xia Country to look for my cousin. I happened to see you fighting the Black Wind Bear when I passed by here, so I came to your aid."
"Gu Ze?" Wang Xinyao's heart was shocked. It was such a familiar name. She instantly remembered that the silver needle in her hand was called Gu Ze Silver Needle.
Thinking of this, Wang Xinyao suddenly felt more favorable towards Gu Ze and said with a smile:
"Okay, thank you very much, sir. I am Wang Xinyao from Xiejia Village in Nanhu County. If you need any help in the future, you can come to Xiejia Village to find us."
"Nanhu County? What a coincidence! I am also going to Nanhu County. I heard that my cousin went there. I wonder if I can go with you ladies?" Gu Ze asked with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Wang Xinyao pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Of course, it would be an honor for you to come with us."
