72 Chapter 72 Coincidental Meeting with an Old Friend (2/2)
Just taking a look, Zong Shou turned away and continued to choose his route carefully.
He mainly needed to differentiate the scents, and observe the positions of the beasts. Any place with high Grade beasts the other nearby beasts would try their best to avoid, and was really open and easy to identify.
This was his experience from his last life.
------
Not many miles later, they heard human voices ahead. Looking ahead, Zong Shou saw that there were actually a group of people fighting those beasts.
There were only seven or eight of them, but their strength was exceptional.
There were two who were using talismans, they were actually Spirit Cultivation Realm spirit masters. Although they were facing a pack of forty-plus Grade Two Fang Wolves, they were able to handle them easily.
Zong Shou's brow furrowed and was feeling surprised. Although the Blood Valley was dangerous, it wasn't truly a place where you wouldn't see a single person. The beasts and herbs inside were unique to this place, and there would be many who would choose such a period to enter.
Silently shaking his head, Zong Shou couldn't be bothered about them. Using his Wind Traveling Spiritual Bone, he prepared to go around them.
However just as the two of them passed, someone exclaimed, ”Is that Junior Brother Zong Shou?”
Under the disturbance of the beast roars and the noise from the fight, that voice was soft and difficult to pick up. However, the quality of the voice was something Zong Shou's body was really familiar with and sensitive to. His body stopped by itself instantly.
Turning around in shock, he saw a woman looking over, her smile really bright as she waved in surprise.
Zong Shou frowned slightly, all memories regarding her rising in his mind.
In the next moment he felt his head hurt. He remembered that this woman was called Gong Xinran, she was a senior sister at Linhai College. There wasn't anything special about her. Not only was her identity normal, her looks were, too. But to the Zong Shou who had already disappeared from the world, she was carved deep within his heart.
She was the only girl who cared for him in the initial year at Linhai College. You could even say that she was one of his emotional pillars at Linhai College.
She left the college to complete her studies, which brought the heartbroken Zong Shou to despair, wasting two years of his life.
That fellow who had already disappeared was truly fickle in love. Spending a short year in Linhai College and falling in love with two girls.
He didn't want to bother with her, still leaving from the side. However, it was like roots grew from his feet, and he was unable to leave.
Just as Zong Shou was hesitating, the bunch of martial cultivators had wiped out a large portion of those Fang Wolves. Gong Xinran had broken away from them, using talismans to dorm a light wind and fly over.
After confirming it was Zong Shou, she was filled with surprise, ”It really is you! Why is Junior Brother here?”
Remembering that Zong Shou couldn't cultivate, and his soul ocean wasn't opened either, Gong Xinran judged Zong Shou once more, her willow brows raising. Looking at Chuxue at his side, as well as the Dark Chill Tiger that was close to Grade Four, she relaxed slightly. However her brows were still furrowed. ”This Blood Valley is so dangerous. You are the Prince of Gantian Mountain, why are you risking your life here?”
Zong Shou laughed awkwardly. What was happening these few days? Yesterday he bumped into his fiancee, and today he met his past crush.
In his last life and this life he had seen numerous beauties. The looks of this Gong Xinran were decent, but she still made his heart beat. His throat was so dry that he couldn't say anything.
He suddenly remembered how gentle and warm she was towards him. Thinking back to the concern in her words, he felt really emotional, and his heart was in chaos.
