Seeing Han Yunxi turn around, Long Fei Ye and Gu didn't say anything else. Long Fei Ye looked straight ahead expressionlessly, while Gu crossed his arms and chewed on a piece of straw. He turned to look at the side of the road with an expression that couldn't be more sullen.
With Gu like this, anyone walking next to him would feel like they owed him a huge debt. Of course, Long Fei Ye was an exception. Long Fei Ye had long become Gu's creditor.
Han Yunxi looked at Long Fei Ye and then at Gu. She couldn't help but roll her eyes. Too lazy to pay them any attention, she walked to the back and joined Gu Beiyue and Baili Mingxiang.
"Princess, His Highness, they …" Gu Beiyue asked suspiciously.
"Their eight characters don't match, I guess," Han Yunxi said with a chuckle.
Gu Beiyue also laughed, but he soon said seriously, "Princess, Seventh Young Master is quite reliable."
Indeed, apart from Mu Ling'er, Gu was very reliable when it came to matters of right and wrong. If he hadn't fooled Myriad Merchant Hall and saved Gu Beiyue, perhaps they would still be in the Three-Way Black Market today.
As they walked, Han Yunxi suddenly remembered the bowl of noodles from last night. She asked jokingly, "How did it taste?"
If the Shadow Guard hadn't come over to tell her, Han Yunxi wouldn't have believed that Gu Beiyue would have eaten it clean.
Gu Beiyue said with a straight face, "It would have tasted better with more salt."
Han Yunxi looked at him suspiciously. After a while, she said, "Gu Beiyue, you've improved!"
"Hmm?" Gu Beiyue didn't understand.
"You know how to flatter!" Han Yunxi said seriously. Gu Beiyue's answer was too good. It didn't hurt Han Yunxi's face, and it didn't seem too fake.
Those who haven't seen the miserable state of the bowl of noodles will definitely think that Han Yunxi's cooking skills are not bad after hearing his words.
Even Han Yunxi herself felt comfortable listening to it. She felt that she wasn't that bad after all.
Baili Mingxiang couldn't help but laugh. This was the first time he heard the princess mock Doctor Gu.
Han Yunxi looked at Baili Mingxiang. Baili Mingxiang immediately lowered his head, realizing that he had been rude.
Han Yunxi looked at her for a long time and finally said, "Mingxiang."
"Here." Baili Mingxiang looked over.
Han Yunxi walked over and said with a smile, "When we get back, I'll discuss cooking with you. When we get back, I'll make a few more dishes for Gu Beiyue to try."
Seeing Han Yunxi smile, Baili Mingxiang finally stopped being nervous and careful. She nodded happily and said, "Okay!"
Gu Beiyue smiled but didn't say anything. He was very happy.
Han Yunxi walked at the back. Long Fei Ye and Gu didn't have a chance to "quarrel." Long Fei Ye soon stopped and waited for Han Yunxi to walk up.
The moment Han Yunxi walked to his side, he took her hand and interlocked their fingers tightly.
Gu deliberately walked to Han Yunxi's side and walked side by side with them. No matter how malicious Long Fei Ye's gaze was, Gu Beiyue would always return it with a dazzling smile.
If they were competing in terms of shamelessness, Long Fei Ye would still lose to Gu Beiyue.
Long Fei Ye tugged Han Yunxi to the side. Gu didn't follow, but swaggered to Long Fei Ye's side.
Behind them, it wasn't just Gu Beiyue and Baili Mingxiang. Even Xu Donglin and the others couldn't stop snickering.
Just like that, the group of people headed for the Poison Sect's altar with surging emotions.
Once they reached the altar, everyone turned serious.
Although the altar had undergone a terrifying transformation in Han Yunxi's dream, the altar before them hadn't changed at all. It looked exactly the same as it did yesterday.
As soon as Gu Qishao arrived, his attention was drawn to the rare poison plants in the stained glass wall. These were the most beautiful plants he'd ever seen.
The stems and leaves of these poisonous plants were transparent and shrouded in a faint layer of light. They were multicolored and dazzling, like a dream or a fantasy. So beautiful that it almost seemed unreal.
Gu had never seen these poisonous plants before, so he couldn't tell if they were poisonous or not. However, based on his years of experience growing medicinal plants, he could tell that these poisonous plants had lived for a very long time.
"Poison lass, these poisonous plants have lived for at least one or two hundred years," Gu said seriously.
"One or two hundred years? Was the fruit recently plucked? " Han Yunxi asked again. She was very professional when it came to identifying poisonous plants, but not when it came to their age. If not for the detox system's analysis, she wouldn't have been able to tell with the naked eye.
"This fruit should have been plucked at least ten years ago!" Gu replied as he observed.
"How can you tell?" Long Fei Ye couldn't help but ask.
Gu glanced at him, "Haha!"
Long Fei Ye wasn't so easily provoked. He snorted, "You must have seen wrongly."
Gu was easily provoked by Long Fei Ye. He immediately said, "I can't be wrong. The thickness of the roots, the size and color of the leaves, and the gears on the edges of the leaves. Different plants have different ways of identifying them, so I can only give a vague estimate. I can't be precise. Also … "
Gu wanted to continue explaining, but Long Fei Ye raised his hand and stopped him, "Alright, I understand."
Gu was stunned. He then realized that he had fallen into Long Fei Ye's trap.
His beautiful face immediately darkened, and the people around them almost laughed. Fortunately, they managed to hold it in.
Long Fei Ye didn't expect Gu to figure out something that even Han Yunxi couldn't figure out. He asked seriously, "Where is the wolf head totem?"
Han Yunxi walked to the front of the wordless monument and closed her eyes. She tried to find the location of the wolf head totem in her dream.
Most of the time, she couldn't remember a dream.
However, Han Yunxi remembered last night's dream very clearly. She closed her eyes and everything was vivid in her mind.
She quickly found the location of the wolf totem on the wordless monument.
"Here, the blood on the forehead is at this location." She pressed her thumb on the wordless monument.
Long Fei Ye and the others looked at the empty black gold monument in disbelief. If it wasn't for Han Yunxi's dream, who would be able to find the mystery behind this empty black gold monument?
Han Yunxi looked at Long Fei Ye and the others. She asked, "Shall I … start?"
Everyone immediately looked at Long Fei Ye, including Gu.
Long Fei Ye held Han Yunxi's other hand and nodded decisively.
Han Yunxi was determined. She broke her finger and squeezed out a drop of blood. She was about to press down on the wordless monument when Long Fei Ye suddenly held her hand and pressed it down with her.
Very quickly, they let go of each other.
Unlike yesterday, this time, Han Yunxi's blood stayed on the wordless monument for a while before it was absorbed.
Once the blood disappeared on the wordless monument, it started to tremble. Following that, the entire altar started to shake. The shaking became more and more intense, as if there was a huge earthquake!
Long Fei Ye protected Han Yunxi and retreated. The others also retreated. However, their eyes were fixed on the wordless monument, afraid that they would miss something.
As expected!
Before long, the scene from Han Yunxi's dream appeared.
The wordless monument suddenly split open in the middle. At first, it was just a long and narrow crack, but the crack quickly widened as if pulled by some invisible force. Gradually, it turned into a door.
Rather than calling it a door, it would be better to call it a cave that led to an unknown world. The cave was so dark that no light could be seen. No one knew where they'd end up after this cave.
"Good heavens, this is the Poison Sect's biggest secret!" Gu walked very close. Everyone was on guard, but he was the only one who didn't sense any danger.
He quickly reached the entrance of the cave and turned back to look at Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi. "Are we really going in?"
"Mm." Long Fei Ye nodded.
"Then what are you waiting for? I'll lead the way!" Gu said as he pulled out a small luminous pearl from his sleeve.
The luminous pearl gradually grew brighter in the darkness, quickly illuminating their surroundings.
"Let's walk in front. Gu, be careful," Han Yunxi said seriously.
"I'll lead the way, it's fine!"
Gu said as he prepared to step into the cave. Unfortunately, he couldn't get his foot in. It was as if he'd kicked something, for there was even a "bang".
"You kicked … the Xuan gold monument?" Han Yunxi asked suspiciously.
"Seems like it. Is it really that incredible?" Gu refused to believe it and kicked at the cave. The kick almost sent him tumbling backwards. He staggered back a few steps before steadying himself.
"It really is the Xuan gold door. Poison lass, this isn't an illusion, is it? "Gu asked in shock.
"Princess, you should go and try," Gu Beiyue said.
His words reminded everyone.
Han Yunxi was the one who'd opened the door, so perhaps she was the only one who could enter.
A complicated look flashed past Long Fei Ye's eyes. He went forward and tried it himself. The result was the same as Gu's.
Han Yunxi went forward and was about to try when Long Fei Ye grabbed her hand.
Under the gazes of the crowd, Han Yunxi carefully took a step forward. This step actually … actually made it inside.
Moreover!
The moment Han Yunxi stepped in, the cave exploded with a strong light. Following that was an invisible but strong suction force. It was as if it wanted to suck Han Yunxi in!
Long Fei Ye was already on guard. Otherwise, Han Yunxi would have been dragged in by that force. However, Long Fei Ye's strength was soon unable to contend against the power of the cave.
In the end, he gave up resisting and reached over with his other hand to hold Han Yunxi tight.
As soon as Long Fei Ye gave up resisting, he and Han Yunxi were instantly sucked in …
"Catch them!"
Gu suddenly shouted and rushed over to grab Long Fei Ye's leg. Gu Beiyue immediately grabbed Gu's hand and flew into the cave with them.
Baili Mingxiang, Xu Donglin, and the others were stunned. Then, they heard Gu Beiyue shout, "Xu Donglin, Miss Mingxiang, come here!"
Xu Donglin was waiting for this. He grabbed Baili Mingxiang and pulled Gu Beiyue's sleeve just as Gu Beiyue was about to enter the cave.
After everyone had entered, the black hole gradually shrunk and disappeared in a short while. The Xuan gold door returned to its original appearance, as if nothing had happened.
The surrounding Shadow Guard and Poison Guards looked at each other in disbelief. They could only stand guard and wait for Han Yunxi and the rest to return.
Han Yunxi and the rest … Where did they go?
