Chapter 542: Chapter 399: Who Will Respond Under Baili Mountain
On the way out of the city, there were close calls but no dangers, as Gu Changsheng and his companions took advantage of the night to descend the mountain once again.
She must return to the city before dawn without anyone noticing!
Otherwise, her clever plan would backfire!
The group moved through the mountains like flying, swiftly heading down Baili Mountain!
Gu Changsheng stood halfway up Baili Mountain looking back, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes!
Zhou Mu’s calculations were unknown to her, but she always had an uneasy feeling, unsure of its cause!
She consistently felt that sothing significant was about to happen!
And that it was related to her!
Her only care was hidden in Baili Mountain, which after today, would beco a Dragon’s Den and Tiger’s Lair, filled with formations!
She hoped this would be enough to keep her foster father and precious son safe!
“Descend the mountain at full speed, and make sure to return ho before dawn!” Gu Changsheng commanded, taking the lead and rushing toward the small courtyard downhill!
With Gu Changsheng’s current cultivation, fully speeding, even Yue Xilou with his exceptional Qinggong could hardly catch up, let alone others?
In just a mont, the group had widened the distance, but Gu Changsheng still raced ahead, as her foreboding feeling grew even stronger!
Suddenly, while hurrying, Gu Changsheng paused, stopping on a tree branch, her face tense as she turned to the approaching Yue Xilou and said solemnly, “This is bad, my leaving the city must have alerted the people from the Three Kingdoms!”
Upon hearing this, Yue Xilou’s face darkened, and a heavy look flashed across his stunning face, “Girl, how do you know? Your Geranium was supposed to be infallible, right?”
Hearing this, Gu Changsheng looked toward the mountain base and said solemnly, “Yes! The Geranium is infallible, but we have delayed too long! I worry the Hidden Guards left behind can’t handle it!”
The Spies monitoring her residence surely had their own ways of passing on information. To prevent them from falling unconscious and alerting others, she had instructed the Hidden Guards to knock out anyone loitering around Gu Residence!
But even so, they had inevitably been delayed a bit too long!
A missed report once or twice from the Spies could be excusable, but three or four tis would start to raise suspicions!
The Crown Prince of the Three Kingdoms was certainly surrounded by clever people who would detect sothing amiss!
Ninth Prince of Southern Chen, Sima Liancheng!
It was all that guy’s fault for the delay!
Gu Changsheng inwardly cursed, then spurred her Inner Strength and rushed down the mountain!
She had just entered the Crown Prince of the Three Kingdoms’ field of vision by sneaking out of the city; if it had been her, she would have been suspicious too!
Isn’t this the very definition of a guilty conscience?
Damn it, knowing too much and being too clever isn’t always good! At least the people of the Three Kingdoms definitely didn’t want her to know too much!
Leading her followers, they arrived at the base of Baili Mountain, not yet close to the small courtyard when Gu Changsheng, in her rushing figure, suddenly paused, a look of joy unexpectedly spreading across her face!
All her companions were stunned to see her expression.
Including Yue Xilou, everyone paused.
Gu Changsheng couldn’t bother explaining too much to them, as she leaped forward, pushing open the slightly ajar courtyard gate!
Indeed, beneath the kapok tree in the courtyard, a slender figure in purple stood tall!
Under the dim moonlight, the person suddenly turned, revealing a look that was indulgently smiling as if he belonged in the Divine Residence.
“Evildoer! It really is you!”
Gu Changsheng exclaid in surprise and flung herself toward that figure.
She had felt a familiar aura from afar earlier, thinking she was dreaming or perhaps missing him too much, only to find it was really him!
“If not I, who else would worry themselves to death over you?” Zhou Mu smiled, stretching out a hand to steady her leaping body, with a long arm he pulled the dearly missed person into his arms!
With the subtle familiar scent of ambergris from the Evildoer filling her senses, Gu Changsheng, who had been extrely restless and anxious ever since receiving the Crown Prince of the Three Kingdoms’ invitation, found herself inexplicably cald!
This man, though not always by her side, always gave her a sense of belonging and security!
Seeing the two embracing in the courtyard, her followers smartly stopped at the doorway.
Yue Xilou watched the overlapping shadows of the two, his face so dark it could drip ink.
Borjigin Nian, who had followed, seeing this, cheekily nudged him with an elbow and said with a smirk, “Hey! Yue Xilou, what are you looking at? Keep looking, and Gu Changsheng’s heart will stay with my brother!”
“Hmph!” Yue Xilou snorted heavily in response.
