Chapter 373: Mo Yang and Gang 12
What lake?
Gu Cheng almost thought he misheard.
He stared at the old man with greying hair and beard.
Gongsun She, this name…there was only one person.
His eyes blinking and brows furrowing tightly, his gaze was locked tightly on that old man, not daring to even blink.
Gu Shanshan began whispering into Gu Cheng’s ear, “Just now…” She whispered the entire situation to him quickly.
Zhu Shen was also listening at the side. After they heard what was said, Gu Cheng’s expression was unfathomable. Meanwhile, as a subordinate of the State Preceptor who was always by his side, Zhu Shen’s face turned green.
He could barely believe that a grand master would have captured Qi Qingyao’s daughter. Now another grand master had been at the door of the Bailong Temple waiting for fortune to fall into his lap and caught Qi Qingyao.
What kind of luck was this?
Absolutely terrible!
Zhu Shen kept his gaze lowered, not daring to lift his head to look at the old man. Instead, there was absolute panic in his heart.
Gu Cheng was still relatively calm. He noted that Qi Qingyao and Gu Shanshan were not hurt and forcefully stabilized his emotions, before he spoke slowly.
“Senior, I would first like to extend you my gratitude for being willing to save Qi Qingyao’s daughter.”
Gongsun She did not even look at Gu Cheng.
As if he would ever dare to confront the grand master over his attitude. Gu Cheng continued, “Senior, why don’t you ride my horse?*
Gongsun She finally said, “Let’s go, we’ll head back to Qingzhou City first.”
“But the…horse…”
Gu Cheng looked at the old man who was already gliding away…
Gu Shanshan murmured as she flipped onto the back of her horse, “He’s faster than you without even needing a horse, brother. You suck!”
Gu Cheng’s expression was dark as he felt speechless. “…you can really stand to talk less.”
Qi Qingyao looked at the horse that had had its fill of concentrated feed and turned to glance at the old man. She thought to herself, it was no surprise he’s a grand master, his steps almost did not touch the ground.
After getting onto their horses, the group set off toward Qingzhou City in a hurry.
Zhu Shen followed behind the group, eyeing the old man whose speed was easily matching the others on horseback.
His emotions were extremely conflicted.
How was he to explain this matter to the State Preceptor when he got back?
First of all, Qi Qingyao was somehow very familiar with some distinguished guests from Eastern Ling. Then a young man who looked extremely like Qi Qingyao appeared, which was followed closely by her meeting a grand master from Southern Ming at the koi temple. Finally, the grand master was actually following them back, seemingly to help Qi Qingyao save her daughter… Not to mention, their relationship also seemed to be pretty good.
What was happening?!
Zhu Shen felt that his mind could hardly catch up with the speed the situation was developing.
He wondered if his Excellency would be able to keep up when he relayed it to him.
Zhu Shen looked utterly flabbergasted. Although Gu Cheng had the situation explained to him by his sister, he was also feeling conflicted on the inside.
He suddenly felt that this Qi Qingyao was a truly eccentric person, to be able to have Si Jin follow by her side, and then randomly have this old man insist on her helping with his cultivation… Grand masters were usually very arrogant. To see one chatting with other people and being so friendly was a rarity.
Qi Qingyao really was not a simple person!
…
When Erniu woke up in the morning, she realized she was in an unfamiliar room, on an unfamiliar bed. Most importantly, there was an unfamiliar old man in the room…
Erniu immediately wanted to cry.
She wanted to cry out for her mommy.
However, after having gone through a long lesson from her mommy the day before, she endured the urge. She tried to make sense of the situation using every cell of her little brain.
She was alone, there was an unfamiliar old man…and she was in an unfamiliar place.
It seemed that it was just as her mommy had put it, she had been unlucky, and possibly kidnapped.
