Chapter 2251: Tang Yichen’s Calamity of Blood
The region traversed by the magma is very wide, and the three of them walked along the magma’s edge for a long time.
Just as they were about to reach the Bian Family, the path was blocked by a crowd.
The other side wasn’t intentionally blocking their way; it was because two people were fighting ahead, and many gathered to watch the spectacle.
Seeing this, Tang Yichen was curious and said to Gu Zhiqi, "Gu Xiaoxi, let’s go have a look too."
Gu Zhiqi listened, raised his eyebrows, and then nodded at Tang Yichen.
Thinking of something, he said to Tang Yichen, "I see you have a blood omen today; it’s best not to get too close."
Tang Yichen: ?
"Really?"
Tang Yichen firmly believed in Gu Zhiqi’s words. Hearing this, Tang Yichen immediately asked this question and then swiftly distanced himself from the crowd.
"Never mind, let’s not watch. Let’s find a way around."
After saying this, Tang Yichen began looking around. But aside from the bustling magma edge, there seemed to be no gap to pass through.
Tang Yichen felt strongly that it wasn’t suitable to stay here long. He pondered for two seconds and finally said to Gu Zhiqi, "Let’s go around from there."
As he spoke, Tang Yichen moved first, stepping ahead of Gu Zhiqi.
Gu Zhiqi moved his lips but ultimately stayed silent.
After all, his blood omen wasn’t life-threatening, though it was accompanied by other things, better leave it alone.
Thinking this, Gu Zhiqi didn’t stop Tang Yichen and instead pulled Su Yunling to follow behind Tang Yichen.
The path along the magma’s edge wasn’t very wide, so walking required great caution; otherwise, there’s a slight chance of slipping into the magma.
Even though, for ancient martial artists, this magma might not be life-threatening, it would still cause injury.
Tang Yichen was slightly afraid of falling in and getting disfigured, hence he was extra careful.
However, his caution alone was useless, not everyone was careful.
It’s unknown what happened with the two people fighting; the crowd suddenly dispersed to the sides, and someone unknowingly pushed Tang Yichen, causing him to slip and fall towards the magma.
Seeing this, Su Yunling instinctively wanted to intervene, but before she could act, she was held back by Gu Zhiqi.
Su Yunling stopped her actions and turned her head to look at Gu Zhiqi, with eyes filled with inquiry.
Gu Zhiqi: "He’ll be okay."
Su Yunling, not entirely understanding, continued watching Tang Yichen.
Sure enough, Tang Yichen didn’t actually fall into the magma; just as he was about to, a red vine caught him.
After that, a pull lifted Tang Yichen back up.
Tang Yichen was channeling vital energy to resist the magma’s heat, unexpectedly being pulled up, he paused for a moment.
Being rescued, Tang Yichen’s guard instantly relaxed.
Then, "splat" he fell to the ground, his head hitting something, leaving the unguarded Tang Yichen seeing stars.
Tang Yichen dazedly got up; far away, Su Yunling saw a patch of blood on his forehead.
Su Yunling turned to Gu Zhiqi, "Didn’t you say he’d be okay?"
"Just a minor injury." Saying this, Gu Zhiqi dragged Su Yunling away, "Let’s go, we’ll go to the Bian Family ourselves."
After hearing this, Su Yunling looked at Tang Yichen, then at Gu Zhiqi, finally choosing not to speak, allowing Gu Zhiqi to lead her through the crowd.
The fight had ended; the crowd had dispersed, making it easy to pass through now, unlike the earlier congestion.
