Dongfang Xue immediately regretted her words.
These were supposed to be her thoughts. No matter what, she shouldn't have said them out loud.
However, she had just blurted them out for some reason.
Dongfang Xue's face instantly flushed red, and she didn't dare to look at Gu Xuan. However, there was a deep sense of anticipation in her heart.
Gu Xuan was also dumbstruck. His mind was completely blank.
How did they end up becoming dao partners?
He did have a good impression of Dongfang Xue, but he had always been an idiot when it came to relationships. In the face of such an abrupt confession, he didn't know how to respond.
In fact, Gu Xuan's mind was completely blank. When he finally managed to form a thought, it was a complete mess. There was no order or logic to it at all.
Dongfang Xue waited for a long time, but Gu Xuan didn't say anything. She was a little disappointed.
"Huh? What did you just say?
I didn't hear you clearly? "
Gu Xuan managed to squeeze out this sentence after a long silence.
Dongfang Xue's lips twitched.
Even the sound of an ant falling from a tree a thousand feet away could be heard clearly by him.
You're more powerful than me. You didn't hear me clearly?
Even if you want to reject someone, you shouldn't reject them like this!
There was no sincerity at all!
Dongfang Xue was furious. She didn't care about whether she was embarrassed or not, and immediately prepared to repeat what she had just said.
However, right at this moment, Gu Xuan grabbed Dongfang Xue and quickly fled in a certain direction.
"Let's go. After the mountain collapsed, there seemed to be people surrounding it."
Gu Xuan said with a serious expression.
Dongfang Xue turned around with a puzzled expression. What she saw was an early-stage Profound Sage ferocious beast leader. It was carefully flying toward the collapsed mountain, as if it wanted to see what was going on.
Behind it was a group of peak-stage sage ferocious beasts. All of them were trembling with fear.
Dongfang Xue gritted her teeth. Her eyes were about to spit fire.
How could such a group of dregs scare away a Pill Emperor with the strength of a high-level Profound Sage?
Are you kidding me?!
Dongfang Xue didn't say anything. She only gave Gu Xuan a one-word evaluation in her heart. Single!
Of course, despite her disappointment, Dongfang Xue was actually feeling a little relieved as well.
Fortunately, Gu Xuan only changed the topic, not willing to face his problem and not directly rejecting him.
If that was the case, he would have to find a hole to hide in.
The two of them flew aimlessly, and the atmosphere was very awkward for a moment.
After a full 15 minutes, Gu Xuan finally slowed down.
"Where are we going now?"
Dongfang Xue felt like she couldn't allow things to continue like this, so she took the initiative to try and alleviate the awkwardness.
Gu Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed like the matter earlier was over.
Becoming dao companions? How was he supposed to answer such a complicated question?
Thankfully, Dongfang Xue wasn't Ouyang Huadie. She wasn't the type of person who either didn't ask or insisted on getting an answer.
When he thought of Ouyang Huadie, Gu Xuan was very worried. In the future, he would try his best not to be alone with Ouyang Huadie. If he was caught off guard and encountered this kind of problem again, he would have a big headache.
It couldn't be helped. A perfect youth who was handsome, had good conditions, was strong, and was also an Alchemy Emperor at a young age with a lot of gold, where could he find a second one?
Being too outstanding also had its troubles.
Thankfully, Gu Xuan only kept these thoughts to himself. If he were to say them out loud, Dongfang Xue would most likely go on a rampage and beat him to death.
"It's right that we leave the place where we were just now.
The Heavenly Dao clearly tricked me and deliberately put me on the first place of the initial Holy Rankings.
This is simply a public enemy!
You saw it too. Even a thing like Di Huo wants to kill me and take my first place.
Not to mention the others. "
Gu Xuan smiled coldly and analyzed the current situation.
"Just now, I said that a group of ferocious beasts are surrounding us. I wasn't joking.
They are indeed weak, especially that group of peak sage realm ferocious beasts. They are so scared that their bodies are trembling, but they still want to approach us?
Don't you think that this is abnormal?
They are clearly scouting the way, and there are true powerhouses hiding behind them. "
Hearing this, Dongfang Xue recalled carefully and found that what Gu Xuan said was indeed true.
Just now, she only thought that Gu Xuan deliberately fled in front of a group of ants in order to avoid her question.
But now, after Gu Xuan's analysis, she discovered that the truth was probably as Gu Xuan said.
That group of people was just the vanguard, just cannon fodder.
Their purpose was just to test Gu Xuan and her, and to stall for time.
Thinking of this, Dongfang Xue suddenly frowned.
"No! You're lying to me! "
Gu Xuan's mouth twitched.
His words were indeed exaggerated, and he did have the intention to deceive Dongfang Xue and cover up the matter that he deliberately avoided just now.
However, these words were all carefully thought out by him and were reasonable. How could Dongfang Xue discover that he was lying to her?
Gu Xuan was about to explain when Dongfang Xue spoke first.
"When the initial rankings were announced just now, there were clearly only three identity jade badges flying in our direction.
One for you, one for me, and one for Di Huo. How could there be more powerhouses? "
Gu Xuan was startled. He thought that Dongfang Xue had really discovered some other loophole. Who would have thought that it was such an untenable question?
Gu Xuan said seriously, "You can't just focus on the thirty people with the initial rankings.
Most of the people with the initial rankings are nothing to worry about. Everyone has identity jade badges and can sense each other when they meet.
When the time comes, whether to flee or leave can be decided immediately.
The truly dangerous ones are the native ferocious beasts of the Ninth Realm.
If they snatch our identity jade badges, they can also have names on the Holy Rankings.
The leaders of the ferocious beasts who want to leave the Ninth Realm will definitely seize this opportunity. "
Dongfang Xue stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.
"I've thought about this before, but I didn't think too deeply about it.
Just now, he had actually forgotten about this matter.
I've wronged you. "
Gu Xuan smiled faintly. His expression was calm, but he felt relieved inside.
A lie had to be seventy percent true and thirty percent false. Only with reason and evidence would it be convincing.
Since Dongfang Xue believed him, Gu Xuan immediately changed the topic and didn't give Dongfang Xue time to think.
"What a pity. I thought that there would also be people from Dragon Subduing City who would come to the Ninth Realm.
Unfortunately, Xieyun, Jingyun, Senior Qiongqi, the Golden Horn Holy Ape, and your brother Dongfang Lie didn't come.
They probably didn't want to leave because they wanted to protect everyone.
After all, before the Holy Rankings ended, those of the Eighth Realm wouldn't stay put and would kill each other.
When I return to the Burning Sky Continent, I'll definitely compensate them. "
Gu Xuan said firmly.
Dongfang Xue nodded.
"They probably didn't come not only to protect the people of Dragon Subduing City, but also because they were afraid of causing trouble for you.
After all, there are too many strong people in this last stage.
It's better to stay in the Eighth Realm and also have the chance to enter the rankings and receive a gift from the Heavenly Dao.
Perhaps it's a little less, but it's better than losing your life and making you worry. "
As the two of them flew, they chatted with each other. But in front of them, three hundred miles away, a trap targeting Gu Xuan was already brewing!
