Chapter 1629: Chapter 827: No Need for Formalities (Part 2)

"Blood-colored Branch... truly brimming with Spiritual agility, and astonishing in its speed."

She twined a strand of gentle radiance around her fingertip, lightly brushing over the menacing barbs of the vine’s surface. The vine, like a tamed venomous serpent, instantly grew docile, even affectionately nudging her fingertip.

"Although it doesn’t match the main vine’s vast might, it excels in agility and unpredictability, compensating for the shortcomings of close combat, perfectly suited for my needs. Gu Sheng, I truly like this gift."

She looked up at Gu Sheng, genuine mirth blossoming in her cool eyes, like ice melting into spring waters gently rippling.

With a lotus-like grace, she moved lightly in front of Gu Sheng and suddenly extended her arms, softly embracing him.

This was a brief yet gentle embrace, suffused with a cool fragrance, yet imbued with an indescribable intimacy and trust.

"Thank you."

Tantai Xueling’s voice sounded in Gu Sheng’s ear, still as clear and melodious, yet now tinged with a subtle warmth.

Gu Sheng’s body stiffened slightly, then relaxed, not pushing away.

He could feel Tantai Xueling’s complete and unguarded trust at this moment.

This Blood-colored Branch was indeed extraordinary to her.

Tantai Xueling quickly released her hold, stepping back, her face reverted to its usual coolness, as if that moment of closeness was just an illusion.

She looked toward Shadow, standing a short distance away, and gave her orders.

"Shadow, at dawn tomorrow, head to the Mystic Sect of the Holy Academy to support Shen Qingtan and her group. Escort them safely to the Transmission Array, ensuring their smooth departure from Great Wilderness City."

"Yes, Pavilion Master."

Shadow bowed to accept the command, his voice cold and unwavering.

At that moment, Shadow’s body paused almost imperceptibly, then turned to Gu Sheng, his voice still flat.

"Master, outside the pavilion, a strange woman seeks an audience, claiming to be... Situ Qingyue. Her cultivation is at the peak of the Earth Martial Realm, her aura is unfamiliar, not from any known force of Great Wilderness City."

"Situ Qingyue?"

Gu Sheng frowned slightly.

That name... Situ? His heart skipped a beat, could it be...

"Earth Martial Realm peak?"

Tantai Xueling’s eyes carried surprise, then she understood.

"It seems she’s come for you. Do you wish to see her?"

Gu Sheng pondered briefly and nodded.

"Let her in."

Shadow withdrew in silence.

Moments later, Shadow led a young woman into the underground layer.

The woman was about seventeen or eighteen years old, clad in a well-worn, pale cyan dress, her figure slender, her face delicate, showing traces of travel and weariness, yet her eyes were clear and bright, full of stubbornness and resilience.

Her cultivation, as Shadow said, was at the peak of the Earth Martial Realm, her aura pure, yet carrying an imperceptible... Sword Intent?

Stepping into this underground space rich with Spiritual Energy and faint oppression, she seemed somewhat uneasy, nervously twisting the hem of her garment, but when her gaze landed on Gu Sheng, her eyes exploded with indescribable excitement and hope!

"Are you... Senior Gu Sheng?"

The girl’s voice trembled as she quickly stepped forward, bowing deeply to Gu Sheng.

"I am Situ Qingyue, disciple of Situ Qingfeng... he is my brother!"

Indeed! Gu Sheng understood. Situ Qingfeng’s sister!

"Rise and speak."

Gu Sheng’s voice was calm.

"How did you find this place? And how do you know my name?"

Situ Qingyue straightened, her eyes slightly red, holding back tears.

"It was... an Immortal named Xia who told me! She said my brother is trapped in a Secret Realm, and you... you have a way to save him! She gave me a talisman, saying if I followed its guidance, I could find you!

I... I followed the talisman all the way from the Southern Border for more than half a month to reach here!"

Xia Fuqu! Gu Sheng’s gaze turned slightly cold.

This woman truly knew how to make things convenient, directly pushing Situ Qingfeng’s sister to his door.

However, that Situ Qingyue could traverse alone from the edge of the Southern Border to Great Wilderness City, such determination and perseverance were indeed remarkable.

"I’m already aware of your brother’s situation."

Gu Sheng looked at the stubborn young girl before him.

"I will rescue him. You... stay here and wait for news."

"Senior!"

Hearing this, Situ Qingyue could no longer hold back her tears, they fell unchecked as she bowed deeply again.

"Thank you, Senior, for your immense kindness! Qingyue... Qingyue is willing to toil day and night to repay this debt!"

"No need."
