    Chapter 116: Swords Drawn and Bows Bent

    Carrying someone on his back, Xie YunChuan ran with lightning speed. Xu Yuze, with his wind abilities, wasn’t struggling too much to keep up, but it was definitely taking a toll on Gu Tangxi and Gu Tangyue.

    While chasing, Gu Tangxi was frantically complaining in her mind: Damn it! You said we were taking a different route, but you didn’t say it would cost me my life! This is really killing me; it’s more tiring than fighting zombies three hundred rounds.

    Gu Tangyue didn’t even have the strength to complain, desperately running with her head down, afraid that if she blinked, everyone in front would disappear.

    Luo Shuyou, on the other hand, was having a great time, riding on Xie YunChuan’s back, occasionally pointing and saying, “This way,” “Over there,” without having to exert any effort himself.

    Gu Tangxi and Gu Tangyue were extremely envious. Sigh, if only they had a horse to ride! They didn’t expect anything from people. Even if they did find boyfriends, they wouldn’t spoil them like Xie YunChuan spoiled Luo Shuyou. At critical moments, it would be good if lovers didn’t turn into enemies. They didn’t dare to hope, didn’t dare to hope!

    Luo Shuyou hurriedly patted Xie YunChuan’s shoulder, “We’re here, we’re here, ChuanChuan, stop quickly.”

    Xie YunChuan braked hard, and Xu Yuze stopped a few steps behind him.

    What followed was a car crash scene. Gu Tangxi slammed into Xu Yuze’s solid back, making her nose sting.

    Gu Tangyue closely followed, embracing Gu Tangxi. With Gu Tangxi alone, it was manageable, but with the added impact of Gu Tangyue, Xu Yuze was pushed forward and almost lost his balance before managing to steady himself.

    Gu Tangxi embarrassedly retreated, repeatedly saying, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, the brakes failed. Cough, the brakes failed.”

    Ugh, it was impossible to brake at all! These two didn’t treat them like women at all, running so fast without looking back once. They weren’t worried about them getting lost at all.

    Then she shrugged her shoulders, “Gu Tangyue, hurry up and get off me, you’re so heavy.”

    Gu Tangyue didn’t have Gu Tangxi’s reservations about leaning on Xu Yuze due to the differences between men and women. Besides, this was her own sister. What’s wrong with leaning on her? She just wouldn’t get up. “I won’t. Let me… Huff! Rest for a while. I feel… I’m going to die. If you… if you don’t let me lean, believe me, I’ll immediately… immediately die for you to see?”

    “Heh, go ahead and die. Believe me, I’ll die first, okay?” Please, Gu Tangxi herself was exhausted, okay?

    But even though she said that, she didn’t push Gu Tangyue off. Leaning was fine; what could she do? This was her dear sister!

    Xu Yuze saw figures moving through the dense bushes ahead. He turned and gestured quietly, “Shh, don’t talk, there’s someone ahead.”

    Xie YunChuan said coldly, “No need to shush, it’s too late.”

    Xu Yuze looked back and saw someone walking over: “…!” Still too slow.

    Gu Tangxi, who had just quieted down and peeked out: “…!” Is it my fault?

    Gu Tangyue, who was half-dead and hanging on Gu Tangxi: “…!” She looked at Gu Tangxi’s incredulous face, tilted her head, and indicated: Uh-huh, if it’s not our fault, then is it Xie YunChuan and Xu Yuze’s fault for not making a sound?

    Before the four could react, Luo Shuyou, who had just been put down by Xie YunChuan, darted out.

    Xie YunChuan didn’t expect him to move so suddenly and missed grabbing him.

    If Lu Yunzhou were here, he would definitely be very familiar with this scene, but unfortunately, he was dead.

    The scene only left Xie YunChuan, who couldn’t hold him back and chased after him, and the three stunned people behind, hesitating whether to follow.

    Gu Tangxi and Gu Tangyue’s thoughts: It’s good to be young. A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, rushing out without even blinking. Good job, Shuyou.

    At this moment, Xu Yuze was thinking: Should he still be with Xie YunChuan and his group? With this “talent” Luo Shuyou and Xie YunChuan, who was blinded by love, the reliability of this team was questionable.

    Shen Ye sensed someone in the forest. He had just cautiously approached to investigate when he was startled by a figure rushing out of the forest. Fortunately, that person was pulled back in time by the person who followed, otherwise Shen Ye’s machete would have slashed the person’s neck.

    While instantly pulling Luo Shuyou behind him, Xie YunChuan swung an ice blade, colliding with the incoming curved blade. The ice blade shattered, and the curved blade was blocked.

    No one noticed that the blood-red color in Luo Shuyou’s eyes, hidden behind Xie YunChuan, was slowly fading until it was completely black, the ruthlessness gone, replaced by innocence and childishness.

    Shen Ye was wrong. It was he who should be grateful that Xie YunChuan had pulled Luo Shuyou back in time. Otherwise, his machete would not have touched Luo Shuyou’s neck, but his soul would have felt the threshold of the Yama Palace.

    “Shen Ye!”

    “Xie YunChuan!”

    Two voices sounded at the same time. Xie YunChuan coldly looked at Shen Ye retracting the curved blade at his waist, while Shen Ye also stared somberly at the ice shards that were about to melt in the weeds.

    Shen Ye: “Long time no see.”

    “Young Master!”

    Xie YunChuan: “Long time no see… Young Master Shen!”

    Hearing Xie YunChuan and Shen Ye call out each other’s names in unison, Gu Tangxi and the other two were delighted: Not bad, they’re acquaintances.

    Hearing Shen Ye’s “Young Master,” Gu Tangxi and the others were overjoyed: Very good, he’s a servant!

    Hearing Xie YunChuan’s equally emotionless “Young Master Shen,” Gu Tangxi and the others realized: Wrong, they’re enemies…!

    This wasn’t an emotionless remark at all; it was an emotionless low-pressure atmosphere with swords drawn and bows bent!

    They were wrong. Were they going to fight? Should they risk their lives to bring Luo Shuyou back?

    The two of them looked quite evenly matched. Would blood splatter on Luo Shuyou if they fought there?

    Shuyou loves being clean the most.
