Wu Wenfeng glanced at Wu Qing and said, "Who are you? You're so ugly! Can't you see the three of us, with our stunning good looks, are having a beauty contest? Go away, go play somewhere else!"
"Uh..." Wu Qing couldn't help but twitch her lips twice, but Wu Wenfeng ignored her.
Gu Liyan glanced at Wu Qing, knowing that Wu Wenfeng didn't want to stay any longer, and said, "Now that we have our things, let's set off quickly!"
Wu Wenfeng said with a look of disgust, "Hurry up and go, I can exchange it back once we're out of the country!"
With that, the three of them left together...
Wu Qing gazed at Wu Wenfeng's retreating figure with adoring eyes, "Big brother... he's still so handsome!"
As they left Shengquan Town, Gu Liyan finally burst into laughter, "Hahaha! I really didn't expect that the reason you left home was because your younger brother had inappropriate thoughts about you!"
Wu Wenfeng was speechless, not expecting that Gu Liyan had seen through him. He couldn't help but purse his lips and say, "Do you think I wanted this?! I only taught him some basic literature knowledge when he was little. Who knew that this kid would suddenly change his personality in the year I was away!"
Wu Wenfeng was also quite helpless about this!
"If you don't inherit your Wu family's legacy, your younger brother might ruin it!" Gu Liyan said with a wicked grin.
“Not quite. I have an older brother. Although he has been missing for quite some time, his soul jade hasn’t shattered and he should be alive somewhere…” Wu Wenfeng said earnestly, “I traveled all over the world to find him and then inherit the Wu family!”
Gu Liyan waved his hand, "Then good luck! Once you get to the capital, you can act on your own!"
"Hey! No way! Actually, I'd rather hang out with you! After all, we're both incredibly handsome!" Wu Wenfeng said with a mischievous grin.
Gu Liyan rolled her eyes and said disdainfully, "Do you think being pretty is a good thing? I've finally come to understand the ways of the world. You can't be too careful! Now I not only have to guard against women spying on me, but also against men!"
Having learned a profound lesson, Gu Liyan was exceptionally clear-headed at this moment.
"Uh... this..." Wu Wenfeng felt awkward. It wasn't exactly good, but it wasn't bad either...
Just then, a gust of wind suddenly came, and Gu Liyan subconsciously raised his hand to shield his face. But the moment the wind hit, he froze on the spot!
"Gu Liyan, come pick me up quickly, I've brought her back!"
Gu Liyan looked around. The wind carried Mo Chen's voice, and the source of the wind was in the western part of the imperial city!
"What's wrong, Lord Gu?" Jin Yi noticed Gu Liyan's tense expression and hurriedly asked.
Gu Liyan frowned and pointed ahead, "Is that the imperial city over there?"
Jin Yi looked in the direction Gu Liyan was pointing and nodded. "That's right, it's the Imperial City, but you're pointing to the territory within the Imperial City known as the Underworld Shadow Hall."
Upon hearing Jin Yi's words, Gu Liyan ran straight in that direction without saying a word. Wu Wenfeng was taken aback and exclaimed, "Hey! Big brother, where are you going?!"
Without turning his head, Gu Liyan replied, "My woman and brothers are being chased and killed!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Wenfeng immediately perked up: "Please be sure to take me with you when you fight!"
Jin Yi followed without hesitation, saying, "The woman of the Ancient Sage King is the future Holy Maiden of my Heavenly Palace, so she should be protected!"
The three of them raced faster than the last, heading towards the imperial city.
—At this moment, Mo Chen released An Le to fight him one-on-one. Facing An Le's dagger, Mo Chen held a peach blossom fan and smiled.
Anle gripped the dagger tightly and launched an attack head-on. Mo Chen chuckled and moved slightly, dodging Anle's attack without hesitation. He then flicked his peach blossom fan, striking Anle's wrist directly.
Anle gritted her teeth and did not give up her weapon despite the pain. Instead, she turned around and kicked at Mo Chen's face. Mo Chen seemed to have sensed it in advance and dodged it directly. Anle then took a few steps back to create distance between herself and Mo Chen.
Looking at Mo Chen's leisurely stroll, and thinking about how her attack on An Le should have been flawless, she gritted her teeth and couldn't help but ask, "Why? Why is it that every time I attack you, you deflect it so easily? Who exactly are you?!"
In Anle's eyes, Mo Chen had no spiritual power in his body; he was just a strategist who controlled the wind. How could someone like him fight with her for so long without being at a disadvantage?
What's even more incomprehensible is that Mo Chen seems to have a pair of eyes that can foresee the future, as if he knows exactly what moves he's going to make. It's simply unbelievable!
Mo Chen squinted at An Le, then smiled and said, "I've said it before, I'm not good at fighting, but I'm good at escaping. You're so aggressive, your whole body is filled with killing intent—wouldn't I be a fool not to run away from someone like you?"
"Killing intent..."
Anle frowned as he looked at Mo Chen. In his understanding, cultivation was divided into spiritual cultivation and physical cultivation. Physical cultivation often relied on strong willpower and mental strength to temper one's physique.
However, when everything reaches the enlightenment stage, one can perceive the spiritual energy fluctuations of others and even the world, just like a spiritual cultivator. Could it be that Mo Chen, who has no spiritual power, is a master of physical cultivation at the enlightenment stage?!
Thinking of this, Anle felt much happier, while she gripped the dagger tightly as she lived with him.
If that's really the case, then I'm nothing but a clown—
"Alright, let's end this cat-and-mouse game!" Mo Chen's smile faded, and he spoke gently to An Le, "I think you should be happy to live, so I've decided to give you this chance, as long as you..."
