Chapter 242 Reunion

"Why is this place shaking so violently? Is it going to collapse?"

Just as the group was dozing off, Huo Ziyu immediately opened his eyes. He didn't know how his master was doing, but for their safety, he had no choice but to leave.

He believed that his master would surely be blessed with good fortune.

"You all go, don't worry about me."

He Sihan tried everything he could, but he couldn't untie the rope. He didn't know what it was. If he left, what would happen to Yunxi? Would she be trapped here forever?

The two ignored him completely and instead led him to a safe place. After walking a few steps, they were enveloped by a cloud of fog again. When they could see their surroundings again, they found themselves by a small river.

The air was filled with the fragrance of peach blossoms. Besides the three of them, there were some other cultivators who were curiously looking around. They had also been suddenly brought here.

Not knowing where they were, Guo Fuyun poked the peach with a whisk, swallowed hard, and then looked at the two of them, just to be safe.

"Are these peaches real? I wonder if they taste good?"

"If you want to die, go eat it and let me go."

He Sihan felt like he was going to be driven crazy by Guo Fuyun, and he was determined to cut off the supplies to Fuyun Temple from now on.

"Oh, it's safe now, I'll let go now."

He Sihan regained his freedom and grabbed Guo Fuyun by the collar. "Old man, if you ever treat me like this again, I'll burn down your Fuyun Temple."

Guo Fuyun looked aggrieved. "I'm innocent, President He. I was just trying to protect you. You saw it yourself. We tried to go down, but there seemed to be some kind of barrier there, and we couldn't get down at all. I calculated that Master is a lucky man and will be fine. Maybe we'll even encounter some kind of opportunity!"

He Sihan pushed him away and looked at the strange surroundings.

Suddenly, a man collapsed not far away, foaming at the mouth.

"These peaches are poisonous, don't be fooled by their appearance."

Huh? Guo Fuyun glanced at the mouthwatering peaches around him. They were all show and no substance. Goodness, there were no treasures in them at all. It would be a miracle if they could even get out of here alive.

Gu Yunxi stood in mid-air and saw the cliff over there collapse and crash down. The place that had trapped Bai Shuang for thousands of years had finally fallen.

That's right, now that the master is gone, the restrictions set up by those people should be destroyed!

Glancing at the sycophant beside her, Gu Yunxi lashed out with her whip again at his lewd appearance.

Migu dodged the attack with ease. "Beauty, you can't do this to me. You ruined my home. I will follow you forever."

[Just a lowly bastard who's lived for thousands of years, and now he really thinks he's something.]

Bai Shuang's voice reached Gu Yunxi's ears. Gu Yunxi glanced into the distance and saw a dark figure rush out. She really didn't expect that Gu Yan was destined to be the female lead, and she wouldn't leave the show until the very end!

"Don't follow me."

Gu Yunxi disappeared from the man's side. The man sniffed carefully, revealed a charming smile, and followed her.

Family-oriented.

Liu Zheng was pacing anxiously at home. Yunxi had been gone for many days, without even taking her phone, and she had no idea where she had gone.

She didn't even attend her older brother's engagement party, but none of that matters. The most important thing is that she stays safe!

She rarely paid attention to news about cultivation, so she had no idea about the legend of Mirror Moon Lake.

"Mom, my bracelet is perfectly fine, don't worry. My little sister must have been delayed by something. She's so capable, she'll definitely be fine. Besides, I heard from CEO Gu that his older brother and Huo Ziyu disappeared on the same day. They're definitely together, so don't worry."

"President He's cultivation has improved rapidly; he will definitely protect his sister."

"Third brother, how can I not be anxious? It's getting cold, and the New Year is just around the corner. I'm always worried about her being away from home!"

Gu Yunlang disagreed. In his mind, no one was more capable than his sister, and his mother was really overthinking things.

After the eldest brother got engaged to Sang Ye, he moved directly to the new house. Their wedding is expected to take place next year. The remaining busy people rarely come home, and now the huge Gu family is just the three of them.

...

Everyone tried to cross the river, but the water seemed to share the same origin as Mirror Moon Lake; anything that fell in turned to ashes.

The cultivators decided not to try it anymore. Thinking back to the path the female cultivator had created, they were even somewhat looking forward to it.

If I can meet that female cultivator again and manage to get out alive, I will follow her to cultivate. That female cultivator is extraordinary.

Gu Yunxi landed steadily on the ground, and seeing the main group, she finally felt relieved.

"He Sihan, I'm back."

Hearing the long-lost voice, He Sihan turned around and glanced at the woman before rushing forward to protect her in his arms.

Before he could even reach Gu Yunxi, he seemed to be separated by something. The huge impact made him take a few steps back, and Guo Fuyun caught him.

"President He, look, I caught you again, and you're still saying those angry things. What did I tell you? Master will definitely be fine."

"Master."

Huo Ziyu could sense that her cultivation seemed to have improved again, but... a man dressed in flamboyant ancient costume suddenly appeared beside Gu Yunxi, and to outsiders, he looked at Gu Yunxi with deep affection.

"My beauty, why did you run away so fast? I had to look for you everywhere. These ugly men are still trying to get close to you. From now on, I'll be the only one by your side."

He reached out to try and lift Gu Yunxi's chin, but Gu Yunxi shoved him away.

"Go back to where you came from, don't follow me."

Gu Yunxi walked towards the group, and the man followed. "I am Migu, you can call me Mimi."

"I don't know you."

The man glanced at He Sihan's murderous gaze and knew he was interested in Gu Yunxi. "Beauty, what are you saying? You just moved my bed away and said I was yours. How long has it been, and you're already turning your back on me like this?"

What the hell? That's utterly shameless.

"What do you mean by 'mystery'? Stop talking nonsense here, okay? My friends will misunderstand."

Gu Yunxi stood beside He Sihan, "Are you alright?"

"No, no!"

He could see no one but Gu Yunxi in his eyes. He pulled her into his arms and only then did he feel at ease.

Back then, she risked falling off a cliff to save him. He didn't know how to repay this kindness. She had saved him countless times. He Sihan felt he had lost count.

Friendship, family, and love—their feelings for each other had long surpassed romantic love. At this moment, all he wanted was to stay by Gu Yunxi's side for eternity.

Be there for her when she's crazy, be there for her when she's having fun, and grow old with her.

"Oh dear, so you already have someone you like, right? Actually, I don't mind. Would you like to have another Daoist partner by your side?"
