Chapter 2030: They’ve Been Found
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhiqi suddenly stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Su Yunling.
Then she noticed that Su Yunling’s face didn’t look quite right, appearing somewhat pale.
Su Yunling: "I didn’t mention before that Yun Yi and I, besides being able to create doppelgangers, can also occasionally transform."
After transforming, sometimes he would fall into a deep sleep.
Sometimes, both would awake together.
Gu Zhiqi: ?
"I’m afraid I might scare you later, so I thought I’d give you a heads-up." Su Yunling quickly finished speaking, not wanting to meet her inquisitive and curious gaze anymore, so he pulled her toward the small island in the middle of the lake.
Recalling that her elder brother and sister-in-law were still in danger, Gu Zhiqi did not question Su Yunling any further.
On their way, they didn’t encounter anyone, and the two of them smoothly arrived at the small island in the lake.
On the island stood an ancient-style residence.
At the entrance of the residence, two people stood guard, both ancient martial artists, one at the Fourth-order Middle Stage, and the other at the Fourth-order late stage.
Although they had pasted an invisibility talisman, they didn’t enter through the front door, instead climbing the wall to enter the residence.
Once inside, they discovered there were patrols.
In some places, there were few people; in others, there were many. Gu Zhiqi sensed that the place where Gu Huaijin and Luo Fenghe were located was where the most people gathered.
"There’s a Seventh-order Ancient Martial Artist, a Fifth-order Ancient Martial Artist, and the rest are below Fourth-order," Gu Zhiqi stated first, then turned her head to look at Su Yunling, "I’ll take the seventh-order one. Can you handle the others for now?"
Su Yunling nodded, "No problem."
Thus, the two continued to approach the location where Gu Huaijin and Luo Fenghe were.
As long as they could ensure the two were safe, they could take action.
**
The location where Gu Huaijin and Luo Fenghe were held was in the very center of the residence.
At this moment, both their cultivation levels were completely sealed, and they were tied to chairs.
In front of the two of them... or more precisely, in front of Luo Fenghe, stood a woman wearing a tight-fitting dark red short skirt.
The woman was holding a knife in her hand.
"Why is your life so big? Even the love poison couldn’t kill you?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Fenghe suddenly looked up at the woman before him, "Was it you who used the love poison?"
The woman chuckled slightly, "I don’t have that ability."
"It was the master who did it."
After saying this, the smile instantly vanished from the woman’s face, and she stared at Luo Fenghe with a look full of resentment, "But why didn’t you die? Why haven’t you died yet? Hmm?"
Luo Fenghe bit her lip and glared at the woman, "I trusted you so much and considered you my best friend, and yet you..."
Before Luo Fenghe could finish her sentence, the woman raised her hand and slapped her.
Only, the slap didn’t land on Luo Fenghe’s face; instead, it landed on Gu Huaijin’s face.
Gu Huaijin, along with the chair, turned to shield Luo Fenghe.
"Brother Jin, are you okay?"
Seeing this, Luo Fenghe immediately asked.
The woman was momentarily stunned, then felt even more hatred.
"Why? Why on earth?"
"What’s so great about Luo Fenghe that makes you like her so much?"
"Tell me, I can learn too. I can also learn. What exactly makes you like her so much?"
The woman, agitated, hysterically screamed in disarray.
Then she kicked Gu Huaijin’s chair away.
Gu Huaijin, along with the chair, fell to the ground, but the woman didn’t care. Instead, she grasped Luo Fenghe’s chin with one hand and the knife with the other, moving it towards Luo Fenghe’s face, "You like her face, don’t you? Let me destroy it for you."
"If Luo Fenghe loses her face, would you still lo... Ah!"
The rest of her words were replaced by a scream of agony from the woman.
