Capítulo 1038: Chapter 1038: The Cheat in the Ring vs. The Loser’s Comeback to Life Winner (Part 24) But Qiao Qiao didn’t gain any advantage either. The wounds on her body hadn’t been treated for half a month, and some were beyond healing. Based on the system’s reports, at least her left forearm is ruined. Once she leaves the city, the vast world outside means the Qiao Family is helpless. The main issue is the Qiao Family can’t be sure if Qiao Qiao truly has any secrets. The Patriarch of the Qiao Family is unwilling to exert great effort for a vague secret. Gu Shengyin is also powerless. She can’t leave here and had to watch as Qiao Qiao escaped. What a wasted opportunity. She sighed. She instructed the system not to forget to monitor Qiao Qiao and focused entirely on Gu Yansui. Compared to that girl, her disciple is much more important. Years in the mountains pass without notice. “Master, I’m ready.” The tall youth spoke with a smile. If someone were here, they might find it strange, as the boy speaks with no one else around. Is he talking to the air? This boy is Gu Yansui. His words are naturally directed at Gu Shengyin. “Then let’s go.” Gu Shengyin said calmly. As Gu Yansui walked out of the valley, he glanced back. The valley still seemed as unremarkable as ever. In his ten years, aside from the broken temple in East Cloud City, this was where he lived the longest. The temple life was a memory he’d rather forget. “Reluctant to leave?” Gu Shengyin asked when she saw him looking back. Gu Yansui nodded without hesitation: “I’ve come to see this place as home with my master.” After all, he’s only ten. In other worlds, children his age would be begging parents for toys. Gu Shengyin reassured him: “Don’t worry, this unremarkable place won’t draw attention. You can come back whenever you want.” “Okay.” Gu Yansui nodded lightly. Their goal this time was the bustling central region. Tongtian Pavilion is there. After half a day’s walk, they reached the road. Gu Yansui paid to join a convoy heading to Tongtian City where Tongtian Pavilion is located. “Young master, heading to Tongtian City? You must be going to take the test at Tongtian Pavilion, right?” The convoy’s owner, a very warm middle-aged man, asked Gu Yansui upon seeing him. There was nothing to hide, so Gu Yansui nodded. The middle-aged man laughed, every year around this time, he meets many youths heading for Tongtian City from all over. However, this one looks quite young and doesn’t seem to have a companion? ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel•fire.net The middle-aged man, though puzzled, didn’t ask further. In their line of work, respecting boundaries is crucial. Although Gu Yansui was just a child, he was excited to see so many people and hear stories of fresh tales, quickly forgetting his brief sadness upon leaving the valley. Seeing this, Gu Shengyin was relieved and began to close her eyes gradually. Over the past two years, her Soul Body had completely stabilized, recovering to its maximum capacity. Unless Gu Yansui could quickly gather the materials to mold a physical body, her power could only burst up to the Incarnation Mid-stage.
