"Ayao, remember this is just a dream." He Wangyao felt a push on her body. "Run forward quickly, don't look back!"

He started running in a daze, but after running for a while, he realized something was wrong. Where was Ah Xu? Ah Xu hadn't followed!

He looked back in a panic and saw Gu Xu standing with his back to him, confronting something.

Dark shadows emerged from the weeds in front of Gu Xu, densely packed and so numerous that they sent chills down one's spine!

The shadowy figures stared at him intently, and strange murmurs drifted on the wind: "Stay here and become one with me."

The voice was so seductive that it made you want to agree.

"No, no, I want to go home!" He Wangyao remembered Gu Xu's instructions and knew she couldn't make promises lightly!

Something was very wrong! A sense of panic welled up inside him. "Ah Xu, come here quickly!"

Gu Xu seemed to tilt his head slightly, or perhaps not; his white figure stood out like a god in the dark wilderness, pure and resolute.

Then the white figure quickly rushed towards the black figures.

"Ah Xu!!!"

"He Wangyao, are you out of your mind? Come back!" Accompanied by a clear female voice, He Wangyao felt as if he was trapped by something, and he touched the metallic texture on his wrist.

Is this his childhood gold bracelet? The moment He Wangyao had this thought, her body was suddenly pulled backward!

In the ward, He Wangyao suddenly opened her eyes and sat up abruptly.

He Zhou looked at him with surprise and delight, "Son, you're awake?"

"Where's A-Xu?" He Wangyao asked, her eyes wide open.

He Zhou's heart skipped a beat, wondering if something had happened to him. "Ah Xu went to look for you!"

Startled, he quickly made a phone call, and the call that had been impossible to get through before was answered very quickly this time.

“Uncle He.” Gu Xu’s cool and steady voice came.

"Ah Xu, Ah Yao has woken up!" He Zhou quickly reported the good news.

When He Wangyao heard Gu Xu's voice on the phone, it was as if a huge weight had been lifted from her heart. She suddenly closed her eyes, fell back, and fell into a deep sleep.

"Ah Yao!" He Zhou was terrified. He wanted to go forward to check on his son, but he was worried that he would damage the magic array set up by Daoist Tingyun.

Hearing the noise from the other end, Gu Xu realized something was wrong and asked in a deep voice, "Uncle He, what's wrong with A Yao?"

"Ayao has fainted again!" Hezhou was frantic and at his wits' end.

"He's fine. Let him get some rest. He'll be fully awake in eight hours." Mingzhuo suddenly opened his eyes.

Gu Xu paused for a moment, glanced at Ming Zhuo, and had many questions in his mind that he could not express. He repeated her words to He Zhou before hanging up the phone.

Mingzhuo stood up, his gaze lingering on Gu Xu's face for two seconds before he looked away, and he stretched.

The sky was already beginning to lighten.

She felt exhausted from head to toe; this was an overworked night.

Master Tingyun hesitated for a moment, "Fellow Daoist, are you alright?"

He was still in shock. This person had actually gone to the wilderness of the River of Three Crossings and brought back He Wangyao's soul!

It's terrifying that a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl possesses such supernatural powers. Is she even human?

Zhuang Xun walked over with an expression of admiration: "Master! I was blind to your greatness before, and I offended you!"

Zhuang Xun, who used to be arrogant and disrespectful to everyone, now has an idol in his heart!

He excitedly told Mingzhuo, "Leaving aside your escape from the wilderness of Sanzu River unscathed and your drawing of a superior Heavenly Thunder Talisman in the void, just the power you unleash with the Xuanjing Sect's magic weapon, the Peach Wood Sword, is enough to crush the entire Xuanjing Sect!"

Xuanjing Sect Leader, Daoist Tingyun: "..."

Are you polite?

He coughed lightly twice to cover his mouth, "What Fellow Daoist Zhuang said is quite right."

Faced with absolute power, he couldn't shamelessly deny that it was true.

Master Yuanhui put his hands together and bowed, saying, "Amitabha, Benefactor Ruan is a genius with such profound cultivation. We are ashamed."

Gu Xu was very surprised. What had happened to make this group of people suddenly change their attitude towards the little girl and even start to worship her?

"Now that everything is alright, shouldn't we leave quickly?"

Mingzhuo nodded. "Let's get out of here quickly. I need to find a place to get some sleep."

Gu Xu led the group back the way they came.

As for the car that got tangled in the vines, we'll have to find someone to help us get it out tomorrow.

Mingzhuo saw the car parked on the mountain road, climbed in naturally, and then took up the entire back seat and leaned down.

"I'm going to sleep, don't disturb me."

Gu Xu: "..."

There's only one car available, so everyone else has to wait for the driver to arrange another vehicle, which will likely take several more hours.

Zhuang Xun wasn't upset at all: "Of course, Master, please go to sleep."

Daoist Tingyun and Master Yuanhui naturally had no objections.

Even Xiang Yuhan, who had been mostly silent, said, "Master must be tired. Let's get her to rest here soon."

Gu Xu drove Mingzhuo down the mountain as usual, but this time Mingzhuo fell asleep.

He occasionally glanced at the person in the back seat in the rearview mirror, recalling the look Mingzhuo gave him the moment he woke up.

There was a strangeness mixed with a sense of sudden realization...

He always felt that Mingzhuo must have seen him during those few hours when he closed his eyes.

——

Mingzhuo slept for five days.

She would wake up to eat and relieve her physiological needs during this time, but she would usually fall back into a deep sleep in less than half an hour.
