Chapter 688: Something Big Has Happened
Gu Heng considered that he had traveled for quite a long time.
He put on his Swift Boots and walked for several hours before finally finding Qingliu Manor. Along the way, he had to ask for directions, since the map was rather abstract and he couldn't fly, so he had to explore on the ground.
Gu Heng therefore made up his mind that he had to learn to fly!
If the system shop gets new stock soon, he'll need some items that will allow him to soar, otherwise he'll start complaining about the system day and night.
The result was good, to be fair.
As soon as he arrived, he saw familiar faces, and they were all familiar faces!
Leaving aside Bai Feier and the other three, even Wu Zhu is here, though Gu Heng doesn't know what he's doing here. But why is Qingliu Manor reduced to ruins and rubble?
What just happened?
"Young Master Gu!"
Seeing Gu Heng was like seeing hope for Bai Feier and the others. In the current situation, only by staying by his side could they feel safe. It was better that way; rather than them going to find him, it was better for Young Master Gu to find them.
"You all okay?"
Gu Heng asked with concern.
"It's all good. Although there were some unpleasant moments, this Young Master Wu has been a great help to us."
Bai Feier didn't hide anything and told Gu Heng everything that had just happened. Upon hearing this, Gu Heng took a deep breath and then patted Wu Zhu on the shoulder.
"You did a great job." It's hard to say how things would have turned out without Wu Zhu.
Both in terms of sentiment and reason, Gu Heng felt that Wu Zhu had done well. But for Wu Zhu, those five short words from Mr. Gu were enough to make him excited. Wu Zhu struggled to keep from trembling and said, "It's my duty, Mr. Gu, you're too kind."
"If Mr. Gu needs anything in the future, I will do my best to help!"
Although helping Bai Feier and the others was Wu Zhu's way of repaying Gu Heng's favor in the Sand Palace, he still owed them quite a lot, so he just comforted himself with these words.
He still wants to latch onto Mr. Gu's coattails, and he wants to continue doing so for as long as possible!
"It's good that you're all alright. Come with me, I'll take you to a safe place."
Once the person is found, they should be taken to a safe place as soon as possible.
Gu Heng didn't say much. He figured they knew that their situation was already precarious. The owner of the manor was greedy and wanted to use them for a reward. Who could guarantee that others didn't have the same idea?
Unless, of course, they are completely indifferent to the reward for that bounty...
Coincidentally.
Mu Qingyu, a wealthy young woman from the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan of the Twilight Immortal Demon Kingdom, scoffed at the bounty.
After bidding farewell to Wu Zhu, Gu Heng immediately set off with the four girls. On the way back, because they could not use the Swift Boots, it took them several more days to return to the capital of the Twilight Immortal Demon Kingdom.
On his way back, Gu Heng was spotted by the fox clan's spies. He didn't try to hide it, his purpose being to let Mu Qingyu know that he had returned.
Sure enough, not long after entering the city, Mu Qingyu came to greet them personally.
After exchanging pleasantries, Bai Feier and the others were settled in a secluded and quiet mansion in Twilight City.
"Brother Gu, I won't pry into your relationship with that woman."
"But I have to say something that might not be pleasant to hear: if there are too many people, be careful, things might get messy back home later!"
Mu Qingyu put her hands on her hips, her eyes crinkling into a smile, and teased.
"Cough cough!"
"Don't joke with me. Besides, I'm not actually that familiar with them, but I do know their sect leader, so I feel it's appropriate to help them out."
Gu Heng coughed lightly twice. He wasn't stupid; how could he not understand Mu Qingyu's teasing?
To be honest, if he really had to say who he liked right now, it would definitely be the little girl who had lived with him for over a year!
Moreover, the young girl didn't hide her feelings at all; she was very bold. Apart from her, all other beautiful women had to step aside.
"If they want to return to the Xuan Tian Realm, Miss Qingyu, please help them if possible."
"No problem. My Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Clan is naturally qualified to use the teleportation array in the Lesser Mystic Heaven Realm. Brother Gu, please rest assured, I can handle it."
Mu Qingyu shrugged.
She didn't care; the fox clan wouldn't object to her continuing to deepen her connection with Gu Heng.
In particular, the Nine-Tailed Immortal Venerable himself would be very happy to see the future patriarch of the fox clan continue to deepen his friendship with such a mysterious and powerful master.
Everything is arranged.
Gu Heng found a place and used teleportation to return to the desolate city and his warm little home.
"Phew~" Gu Heng breathed a long sigh of relief as he returned to the desolate city.
He had been away on this trip for quite a long time. Although he had been in the Little Mystic Realm for the past few days, it was still his own home and his own bed that made him feel more at ease.
The first thing Gu Heng did upon returning.
I just go to bed immediately and start sleeping soundly.
It was almost night when he returned from the Little Xuantian Realm, and he slept until the next morning. When he woke up, Gu Heng saw that there was still some cut fruit on the table.
Without a doubt, it was either cut by Xiaobai or by the dragon that Xiaobai brought back.
Eating fruit.
Gu Heng had just arrived in the courtyard when he heard a series of urgent knocks on the door.
Open the door and take a look.
Upon discovering that it was Manager Jin Qian, who looked extremely anxious this time, he exclaimed as soon as he entered, "Oh, Young Master Gu, you're finally back!"
"Something terrible has happened! It seems the Demon Realm is about to descend upon the Western Regions!"
