Gu Mingyue looked over and saw that it was Lu Qingchen. The injuries on his face had long been healed by his other healing companions. The bruises from being beaten by Xinghe had disappeared, and his skin had returned to its delicate and flawless state.
She was spotless, except for some uneven and not-so-pretty hair; everything else was neat and clean, and her expression was extremely relaxed.
A look of surprise appeared on Gu Mingyue's face, which was hidden by the golden mask.
This Lu Qingchen seems to have something special. I wonder what his other ability is besides the wind-type ability. He seems to be having a lot more fun than them in this metal-type black domain.
"Oh? How did you escape the monster's pursuit? You don't even have a single bloodstain on you. You couldn't even beat my Xinghe before, so how did you manage to evade the monster so easily?"
Gu Mingyue wasn't annoyed; she simply asked him directly.
Lu Qingchen originally wanted to mock the two of them for squatting on the ground pretending to gnaw on a corpse, but he didn't expect them to be so calm and indifferent, not taking his mockery to heart at all.
This made him, who was trying to make a joke, show a hint of frustration on his face.
Then he saw Gu Mingyue looking at him with a suspicious and probing expression. Even though he was usually the best at pretending, he suddenly felt a little uneasy.
It felt as if my secret had been discovered, but then I shook the thought off my mind.
"I just ran fast." He himself felt a little guilty saying this, and his beautiful eyes avoided Gu Mingyue's probing gaze.
"Now that we've lost Wu Qian, how are we going to find her?" he asked, avoiding the previous question.
He felt that Gu Mingyue and the other woman seemed very different from others, and perhaps they had a way to find Wu Qian.
So when he saw the two, he immediately followed them silently until they managed to get away with 'eating corpses' before he revealed himself.
"I don't know." Gu Mingyue threw away the wet wipe she was using to clean her face, spread her hands, and said with an innocent look.
"Take your time looking, wanna go together?" she offered.
Lu Qingchen's face immediately showed an expression of being flattered.
"My beauty, you've finally come to your senses and are willing to come with me?"
He excitedly stepped between her and Xinghe, laughing like a butterfly.
"If you ask me, this man next to you may be tall and strong, but he seems quite dull. Why don't you just come with me? I'm much more interesting than him!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Mingyue closed her eyes speechlessly, feeling that this person was truly incapable of normal communication and probably had no idea what normal interpersonal interaction was!
Upon hearing Lu Qingchen's words, Xinghe's expression immediately turned extremely gloomy, and the air around the three of them began to ripple slightly.
"I am truly unworthy of the title 'Beauty,' but I think Ning is quite deserving of it," Gu Mingyue said with a cold smile, her words tinged with resentment.
Lu Qingchen's gaze swept unceremoniously over Gu Mingyue's shapely figure, revealing an expression that said, "I can't believe I'm seeing things."
His arrogant expression greatly diminished his appearance in Gu Mingyue's eyes.
Gu Mingyue stepped forward with a smile, and while Lu Qingchen looked puzzled, she took out a rope from her backpack and quickly looped it around Lu Qingchen.
Lu Qingchen is a mid-level level three wind-type ability user. He is not as strong as Gu Mingyue, but he is much faster than her. He has been an assassin for many years, so Gu Mingyue's ropes cannot ensnare him at all.
"Beauty, I feel even more familiar with your underhanded methods now." He smiled smugly, his feet moving with the speed of the wind, his expression full of pride.
However, his joy soon turned to sorrow. The radius of the Star River's spatial shield was thirty meters. Although its defensive capabilities were greatly reduced within the Dark Domain, it was still enough to trap him.
With the addition of Gu Mingyue's thirty-meter mental domain, Lu Qingchen quickly stopped laughing.
He was caught by the two men and given a severe beating.
Seeing his bruised and swollen face, making it impossible to discern his facial expression, Gu Mingyue felt much better.
However, my fear of him didn't lessen in the slightest. This guy was very composed; even after being beaten up like this, he didn't reveal his other ability. It seems that it's not a very lethal ability.
"Shh, don't shout too loudly, or you'll attract those golden monsters back."
Gu Mingyue smiled and looked at him threateningly.
Then, a chain was tied around Lu Qingchen's body, and Xinghe led him away.
The three of them continued running towards the tower in this strange manner.
Along the way, when they encountered golden monsters, Gu Mingyue would kick Lu Qingchen, saying that these were prey they had caught and were to be sent to the main city for the Lord of the Black Domain to assimilate.
Lu Qingchen was kicked by her and was in a lot of pain, but in order to deceive those golden monsters, he had to cooperate miserably. He was already regretting that he had provoked Gu Mingyue. He should have just stayed in the shadows and never shown himself.
Now he's being controlled by two late-stage level 3 superpowered individuals, and a bunch of golden monsters keep appearing around him, making it inconvenient for him to do anything. He can only reluctantly cooperate.
As he got closer and closer to the Golden Tower, Lu Qingchen's doubts deepened.
He made thorough preparations before daring to enter the Black Domain for the first time. He had indeed heard that only Wu Qian had ever entered the Black Domain's main city, which is why he came looking for her.
Moreover, after leaving Wu Qian, he wandered around the Golden City for a long time, either ending up in dead ends or getting further and further away from the Golden Tower. There was also an invisible layer of air pressure on the high wall, which he couldn't fly up even with the wind.
However, Gu Mingyue and the other person walked around and stopped frequently, seemingly very familiar with everything here. With them by his side, he really got closer and closer to the Golden Tower.
"beautiful……"
Gu Mingyue glanced at him coldly and said, "Call me Boss Gu."
"Boss Gu, you also know the way to the Golden City?"
This time, Lu Qingchen learned his lesson. Without the healing ability users around to tend to his wounds, Lu Qingchen was afraid that he would really be disfigured, so he started to speak seriously.
"have no idea."
"Then why are we getting closer and closer to the Golden Tower?" Lu Qingchen asked persistently.
"It was just a coincidence," Gu Mingyue shrugged, speaking casually.
This also made Lu Qingchen feel speechless. He had tried countless paths but failed to get to where he was now, and Gu Mingyue actually told him it was just a coincidence!
"Boss, there's a special mark on the metal wall ahead." Xinghe's eyes were like a sophisticated scanning instrument, and he quickly spotted a tiny circular mark on the winding road wall, which looked like a fingerprint.
Upon hearing this, Gu Mingyue gently touched it with her fingertip. "It's still warm, like it was branded on by a fire-type ability user."
"It's very likely a mark left by Wu Qian. Let's follow it."
After Gu Mingyue finished speaking, she instructed Xinghe to lead Lu Qingchen toward the direction of the mark.
