Amid the roaring waves in the vast sea.

Gu Yan’er suppressed her cultivation to a very low level. Despite her massive strength, the strength she exposed in front of Duanmu Lin and his people was but only 1% of her aura, yet she now faintly detected a fluctuation of Heavenly Dao and the threat it brought to her.

Flying high in the air, she kept spreading her spiritual sense. Even under the pressure of the Heavenly Dao, her spiritual sense could still cover a range of a thousand nautical miles.

“Did Grand Master really meet some dangers, Master?”

There was a concern in Gu Xiaoxue’s eyes, a reflection of the restlessness in her heart. She herself didn’t realize that her anxiousness about Tang Xiu’s situation had caused a problem in her heart which had been hardened over the years—she indeed was utterly upset.

“I believe in him. He will always have a way to live even if the whole Earth is destroyed because he’s my Master,” answered Gu Yan’er coldly.

The answer slightly calmed Gu Xiaoxue down. “So, are we heading straight to the three-star vestige? Are you able to reopen it?”

“I know some technological civilizations in the universe that have developed their powers to the apex. I also know that they boast about very powerful armed forces. This three-star civilization is nothing but a weak existence in the universe; even I would have been able to destroy this three-star civilization with a flick of my finger during my prime,” said Gu Yan’er calmly.

Gu Xiaoxue shuddered and asked about the last thing she was worried about, “But what about your body, can you shoulder it?”

“I’ll be fine in a short time. Don’t worry!” Gu Yan’er calmly nodded.

Suddenly, her expression moved and she grabbed Gu Xiaoxue to pick up their speed, flying towards the southeast for a thousand miles and then appearing on a desolate island in just a few breaths.

On the island at this moment.

Tang Xiu kept fending off Cheng Xuemei’s attack without much effort. Although Cheng Xuemei’s strength had progressed rapidly, she couldn’t pose a threat to Tang Xiu at all. Cheng Xuemei was already sweating at this moment, gnashing her teeth and attacking with all the strength she had. If she kept attacking to such a degree, she would end up exhausting herself and at least fall down in a few minutes.

“Stop.”

Tang Xiu instantly dodged Cheng Xuemei’s attack and appeared to her side. His right hand heavily pressed her shoulder, as his eyes looked toward Gu Yan’er and Gu Xiaoxue who appeared nearby.

“How did you come here?”

A delighted look appeared on Gu Xiaoxue’s stunningly beautiful face when she saw Tang Xiu. She rushed over like an arrow and called out, “You’re fine, Grand Master! That’s great. That’s really great!”

Tang Xiu was baffled and his gaze shifted from Gu Xiaoxue to Gu Yan’er. Releasing Cheng Xuemei’s shoulder, he inquired, “What exactly happened?”

Gu Yan’er paced a step and stood in front of Tang Xiu with a smile on her beautiful face. She swiftly coiled her hand around Tang Xiu’s and explained, “It’s because of the damn nonsense from your country’s Ability Users Bureau, that old fogey Duanmu Lin. He said that you died sacrificing yourself in the three-star vestige. Hence, we prepared and rushed here. But it never occurred to me that you would actually be flirting with this beauty here.”

Tang Xiu could sniff Gu Yan’er’s unique scent and let her hold his arm and smilingly said, “Duanmu Lin spat out some gibberish, but why did you follow his rubbish? By the way, let me introduce you. This is Cheng Xuemei, a friend I got acquainted with back when I regained my consciousness. She took part in three-star vestige exploration on behalf of Japan due to some special reasons. She had some adventures which ended up being a fortuitous encounter—a situation where she inherited the memory and power of some sentient plants. Unfortunately, she couldn’t control the sudden surge in power, so earlier I took some time to train her and help her control her power.”

Gu Yan’er caught the gist instantly and then nodded to Cheng Xuemei with a smile. “Would you like me to help you train her, Master?”

Tang Xiu didn’t answer but asked back, “You came out all this way, what about your injury?”

“Well, it won’t be a big problem going out for a short time, just a loss in some recovery time, no more,” lightly smiled Gu Yan’er. “But I’d only be relieved as long as you’re fine.”

Tang Xiu pondered for a moment and slowly shook his head and said, “No. The sooner you get healed, the earlier I can get peace of mind. You don’t need to worry; there’ll be no problem for me here! Just listen to me. Return to Jingmen Island immediately and recuperate well. I’ll go to visit you in Jingmen Island after helping Cheng Xuemei control her power.”

Gu Yan’er gave it a thought and suddenly said, “I’m going back, but let Xiaoxue stay to help you, then! She has been improving very quickly recently—just a step away from breaking through to the Golden Core stage. Maybe following you will speed up her breakthrough as well.”

Tang Xiu turned to look at Gu Xiaoxue who had a look of anticipation on her face, before he nodded and answered, “Might as well. Let’s let Xiaoxue stay, then.”

Though she said she was leaving, Gu Yan’er didn’t look like she wanted to leave at all. What was in her eyes when she looked at Tang Xiu’s handsome appearance was that there was nothing in the world but Tang Xiu.

Looking at her expression, however, Tang Xiu felt somewhat helpless inside. She rushed out to catch up with him because she was worried, thus sending her back immediately didn’t feel right. Tang Xiu could only choose to look at Gu Xiaoxue, and he spoke, “Since you’ve come, help spar with Cheng Xuemei until she’s too exhausted to get up. Also, let her rest for two hours before starting the running session. She knows how to tenacious.”

“All right.” Gu Xiaoxue gently nodded.

Tang Xiu then took Gu Xiaoxue to the Subaquatic Corvette and took out some stored fruits from his interspatial ring. He then said with a faint smile, “Have some of these fruits and let’s have a chat for a while, shall we?”
