Chapter 1313: Chapter 680: Mission Board (Part 2)

Two hours later, Gu Sheng finally opened his eyes. Although his face was still pale, it had regained some color.

He let out a long breath, expelling a mouthful of clotted blood.

"How are you doing?"

Ling Xiao immediately leaned over.

"I won’t die."

Gu Sheng managed to pull out a smile, but his eyes were heavy.

"We can’t stay here. We need to leave immediately."

Ling Xiao nodded.

"I think so too. But Long Teng has surely set up lookouts outside. How do we leave?"

Gu Sheng stood up and stretched his stiff limbs.

"We’ll figure it out step by step. It’s better than sitting here waiting to die."

The two packed simple belongings, and Ling Xiao struggled for a long time to finally extract the Golden Alms Bowl embedded in the stone wall.

Cracks had already appeared on the surface of the Golden Alms Bowl, greatly diminishing its Spiritual Energy.

Ling Xiao wiped it carefully and stored it away with care.

As they walked out of the cave, the scene in front of them made both freeze — the cave entrance was shrouded in a dreamlike Spiritual Mist, in which a slender figure was faintly visible.

Long Teng and his companions were nowhere to be seen.

"Who is it?"

Ling Xiao instinctively stood in front of Gu Sheng, his hand already prepared to cast a spell.

The Spiritual Mist slowly dispersed, revealing a woman in a moon-white dress.

She faced away from them, her long hair cascading like a waterfall, surrounded by a faint halo of Spiritual Power, as though she were one with the world.

Gu Sheng’s pupils contracted suddenly, his body tensed unconsciously.

Even just the silhouette was enough for him to recognize her — Su Muxue, one of Qinghe Holy Land’s most unwanted encounters.

"Su... Senior Sister."

Gu Sheng’s voice was dry and unlike himself.

The woman slowly turned, revealing a breathtaking countenance.

Her brows were like distant mountains, eyes like stars, skin like congealed fat, lips like red dots. But what was most captivating was her ethereal aura, as if untouched by the mortal world.

"Junior Brother Gu, it’s been a while."

Su Muxue’s voice was cold and clear like a spring, devoid of emotion.

Gu Sheng suppressed the waves in his heart and got straight to the point.

"What brings you here, Senior Sister Su?"

Ling Xiao noticed something amiss in the atmosphere and quickly stepped forward to bow respectfully.

"Senior Sister Su’s arrival is an honor. May I know what guidance you bring? If there’s anything needed, I am willing to serve."

Su Muxue’s gaze lingered on Ling Xiao for a moment before returning to Gu Sheng’s face.

"You want to leave Qinghe Holy Land?"

Gu Sheng’s heart trembled — how did she know? Yet he showed no trace of it.

"Why does Senior Sister say so?"

"Dragon Palace has just issued an outside training mission."

Su Muxue spoke as if uncaring about Gu Sheng’s demeanor.

"By taking on the mission, you can leave openly."

After finishing her sentence, she turned to leave, her moon-white skirt tracing an elegant arc, leaving only a hint of freshness.

Gu Sheng suddenly stepped forward two steps.

"Wait!"

Su Muxue paused her steps but did not turn back.

"You’ve recognized me long ago, didn’t you?"

Gu Sheng’s voice trembled slightly.

"Why didn’t you expose me?"

At that moment, the Spiritual Mist suddenly surged, seemingly influenced by some emotion.

Su Muxue finally turned around, her eyes carrying an indecipherable radiance.

"So what if I did?"

Her answer was chillingly simple.

Gu Sheng’s chest heaved, a question blurting out.

"Why?"

"Unsure, unwilling."

Su Muxue’s answer remained concise, but Gu Sheng keenly noticed her slender fingers slightly curling.

Just as Su Muxue was about to leave again, an image suddenly flashed in Gu Sheng’s mind — his vague rescuer during the Holy Road trial.

"The one on the Holy Road was you!"

Gu Sheng practically shouted.

"That Sword Qi was yours!"

Su Muxue’s body visibly stiffened, and in the next moment, her Spiritual Power surged, her delicate hand tearing open the Void, her figure instantly disappearing.

The abrupt departure was a stark contrast to her previous composure.
