In the next few days, Gu Yuan took Xiao Xueyan on a good tour, not only to the Beast Taming City, but also to the neighboring Black Rock City.
Similarly, Xiao Xueyan also took Gu Yuan on a tour of the Black Demon Mountains, showing him the place where she had lived for so many years.
Soon, it was time for Xiao Xueyan to leave.
"Gu Yuan, you must practice hard when I'm not around, and you must come to the Central Region to find me later!"
Outside the restaurant, Xiao Xueyan said reluctantly.
Gu Yuan was a little worried, "Will everything really be alright?"
"Oh, you're such a fuss, I already told you it's okay!"
Xiao Xueyan waved her hands and didn't care about Gu Yuan's worries. The extra memories in her mind told her that some doubts could only be solved by going to the Central Region. Therefore, even if there was danger, she would set foot in the Central Region sooner or later. It was just a coincidence that Chi Yuer came this time.
"Well, since you said so, I can't say anything more. Don't worry, I will practice well and wait for me to find you in the Central Region!" Gu Yuan said.
"Yeah! You said it! If you don't come, you'll be in trouble!"
Xiao Xueyan patted Gu Yuan's shoulder like an elder and said.
Gu Yuan walked towards Chi Yuer and whispered, "The little girl is my friend. I hope you can protect her well."
Chi Yu'er, half of her face covered with a veil, had sparkling eyes as she said, "No one can hurt her, including me!"
There was an immense determination in the light voice.
"That's fine, please!"
Gu Yuan turned around, paused, and said again: "I will explore the secrets of myself on my own. One day, I will know."
Chi Yu'er seemed to want to say something, but she didn't open her mouth. She only murmured, "Why bother?"
"The time has come, boy, we should go!"
Uncle Xuan chopped with his palm lightly, and a crack appeared in the space in front of him, and a dark passage appeared before his eyes.
"Let's go!"
Chi Yuer glanced at Xiao Xueyan and walked in first.
"Gu Yuan, I really have to leave."
Although Xiao Xueyan had a smile on her face, there was a hint of reluctance in her eyes.
Xiao Xueyan leaned forward slightly and put her arms around Gu Yuan's waist. Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then patted her on the back and said, "Go, wait for me in the Central Region."
"You're my first friend in all these years, you know? I've been very happy these past few days. I didn't know the human world is so wonderful. I really want to see more of it."
Xiao Xueyan buried her little face deeply in Gu Yuan's chest, as if she wanted to remember the warmth there.
Gu Yuan didn't notice Xiao Xueyan's abnormality and said with a smile: "This place is not even the tip of the iceberg of the continent. The world over in the Central Region is even more exciting. I am also looking forward to it."
"Um!"
Xiao Xueyan pushed Gu Yuan away, a smile on her face, "I'm really leaving!"
Then he turned around and stepped directly into the space passage without any hesitation.
"Wait for me to find you in the Central Region!"
The moment the passage was closed, the smile on Xiao Xueyan's face disappeared instantly, replaced by a cold expression.
The three of them stood in the space passage, and the atmosphere gradually became strange.
"I didn't expect you to be so persistent, crossing half the continent to bring me back."
There was a coldness in Xiao Xueyan's voice.
Chi Yu'er's eyes flickered as she said, "You volunteered, didn't you?"
"Voluntary? Do you really think I'm willing?" Xiao Xueyan suddenly became excited.
"But you can't change the facts. You are me and I am you!" Chi Yuer suddenly shouted.
"No! Shouldn't it be me being you? Not you being me!"
…
After seeing Xiao Xueyan off, Gu Yuan suddenly felt lost.
Gu Shang is gone, Xiao Xueyan is gone too, and the only two friends around him are gone.
"Alright kid, calm down, there are still a lot of things waiting for you to do here!"
The golden vulture appeared from nowhere and comforted Gu Yuan.
"Senior Ying, where have you been? Why do I only see you now?" Gu Yuan asked jokingly.
The golden-haired vulture fluttered its wings awkwardly, and said angrily, "You little bastard, you even dare to make fun of me now, don't you?"
“Ahem…”
Gu Yuan coughed dryly and quickly returned to his room.
After tidying himself up, Gu Yuan's mood gradually recovered.
The Central Region, this will be the goal he strives for. One day, he will set foot in the Central Region!
"The main thing right now is the pawnshop. Business is tough. The second thing is what Gu Shang asked me to do."
Stroking the sword of "Xunsheng" in his hand, Gu Yuan exclaimed, "What a good sword!"
"Also, I can't fall behind in my own cultivation. I want to break through to the Spiritual Master level as soon as possible!"
Gu Yuanshu set a small goal.
"Brother Gu, something bad has happened!"
Suddenly, Mu San ran in panting.
Gu Yuan stood up suddenly. Mu San should be at the pawnshop right now, so why was he suddenly here? Could it be that someone was causing trouble for the pawnshop?
Gu Yuan frowned and then walked out of the room.
"Musan, what's going on?"
Mu San took a deep breath and said, "Brother Gu, it's Kelu!"
"What happened to Crewe?"
Gu Yuan's face changed. He had arranged for Kru to stay at the City Lord's Mansion and keep an eye on the situation there all the time. Could it be that something happened to Shui Yaoyao?
"No... not Kru... it's the princess! Kru just sent a message that a group of men in black suddenly broke into the City Lord's Mansion, intending to assassinate His Royal Highness the Prince. However, His Royal Highness the Prince is protected by the Spirit Master guards, so he is safe and sound. But... but Her Royal Highness the Princess was injured and is now unconscious! According to Kru, she may not be able to survive!"
