Capítulo 1037: Chapter 1037: The Cheat in the Ring vs. The Loser’s Comeback to Life Winner (Part 23) Someone is chasing again. Qiao Qiao hid in the haystack in the backyard of a peasant family. Hearing the voices outside, she gritted her teeth and dragged her battered and scarred body away once more. She had no idea what was going on. Every time she moved to a new place, within two shichen, someone from the Qiao Family would inevitably catch up. How could it be such a coincidence that they could find her so quickly every time? A sense of fear rose in Qiao Qiao’s heart, a feeling as if an invisible eye had been watching her all along. No matter where she hid, it could find her in an instant. Updates are released by novel•fire.net This can’t be happening, she comforted herself. Her body was almost numb and senseless. She had suffered private punishment at the Qiao Family, and her body was already covered with all sorts of scars. In the past two days, she had been fleeing non-stop, with no time at all for her wounds to heal. Some of the gruesome wounds had even festered and become infected, the fiery pain keeping her exhausted mind painfully alert. She couldn’t let them catch her! This was her only belief. As long as she could escape, Qiao Qiao swore: the Qiao Family, she would surely repay them! Gu Shengyin instructed the system to keep a constant watch on Qiao Qiao’s movements while she slowly sat on a chair to the side. It was more of a gesture than actually sitting. After all, she had no physical body now, and things that existed held no meaning for her. When Gu Yansui, half-asleep, vaguely opened his eyes, he saw the most beautiful scene he had ever witnessed in his life: in the darkness, a glowing figure sat quietly beside him. He couldn’t make out her face, but he was inexplicably sure that she was exceptionally beautiful. I must be dreaming; otherwise, how could I see a fairy? In a daze, Gu Yansui blinked and continued to close his eyes and sleep. Little did he know that he had missed a chance to know the true appearance of his master. The next day, when he woke up, Gu Yansui looked bewilderedly at his surroundings. These past few days, he hadn’t quite adjusted, and waking up to this unfamiliar environment always felt a bit awkward. “Get up and practice morning exercises.” An aged voice echoed in his mind. “Yes, master,” he replied respectfully. Turning around, his gaze froze. Gu Yansui recalled the brief and stunning dream from last night. The fairy in his dream seemed to have sat on this very chair. He shook his head and walked out the door. The days in the valley passed quickly. For Gu Yansui, his days consisted of cultivation, eating, and sleeping. Gu Shengyin, on the other hand, did even less: watching Gu Yansui cultivate and monitoring Qiao Qiao. Half a month later, Qiao Qiao finally escaped from East Cloud City. She seemed to have confirmed that someone could always locate her whereabouts immediately, and as long as she stayed in East Cloud City, she would be perpetually pursued. So she set her sights outside. The Qiao Family, in East Cloud City, was counted among the prominent families, but outside, no one cared about their authority. Gu Shengyin had to admit that this girl was indeed smart, her mind far beyond her teenage years. She also cursed inwardly that the Qiao Family was indeed useless: such a large family, even with someone providing intelligence, couldn’t catch a little girl in the Qi Refinement Realm. No wonder this family hadn’t managed a single Golden Core cultivator over the years; their fate was surely coming to an end.
