Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 372: Common hatred and common enemy
"Damn it, he ran so fast, my treasure is gone!"
Lu Linger pouted, feeling very regretful.
Hong Yue snorted coldly and said, "Letting him go like this is a bargain for him!"
Only Dongfang Yuye and Qiao Yanran said nothing.
But what was strange was that they looked at each other again in tacit understanding, and then simultaneously shifted their gaze to Gu Xiaoxing behind them.
Gu Xiaoxing had been doing nothing but watching the show, but when he suddenly faced the gazes of the two men, he was immediately startled and sweat broke out on his back.
"What are you standing so far away for? Come here!"
Dongfang Yu spoke first, his voice a little cold.
Gu Xiaoxing flew over hurriedly and tremblingly.
"Young Master!"
Qiao Yanran called out in a very intimate manner and flew over to greet him.
Gu Xiaoxing was startled and quickly winked at her, telling her not to move.
But Qiao Yanran, who was always very obedient, pretended not to see it. She smiled and came over to stand with Gu Xiaoxing.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Xiaoxing felt a bone-chilling chill. He looked carefully and saw, as expected, that it was Dongfang Yu 's eyes that looked like he wanted to hit someone.
At this moment, Gu Xiaoxing felt that he couldn't move or stay still, so he looked at Lu Linger for help.
Lu Linger nodded in understanding, coughed dryly, and was about to speak when she suddenly saw something floating over and found out it was a storage bag.
Dongfang Yu looked at her and smiled, "Ling'er, Du Siyu was my former alias. My name is Dongfang Yu. This is a meeting gift from my sister."
"Ah...? Oh!" Lu Ling'er was stunned. After taking the storage bag, she was shocked, her eyes shining, "Wow...! So many spirit stones! Thank you, Sister Xiaoyu!"
Dongfang Yu smiled again, that smile was kind, but also had a certain cunningness, and then said: "Ling'er, did you want to say something just now?"
Ling'er blinked immediately, looked at the spirit stone in her hand, and then looked at her little brother.
Gu Xiaoxing quickly gave her a look back.
Ling'er shook her head slightly.
Gu Xiaoxing was angry and glared at him.
Ling'er's eyes immediately filled with tears. She shook the storage bag in her hand with a wronged look, her eyes full of reluctance.
The two men completed a negotiation without saying a word, but it was obvious that the negotiation broke down!
Lu Linger sniffed, silently put away the storage bag, not daring to look at her little brother again. She blinked, and the tears in her eyes disappeared instantly.
Then, she said to Dongfang Yu righteously: "Ling'er... I have nothing to say!"
"Ling'er, you traitor!" Gu Xiaoxing could no longer tolerate it.
"Ah...!" Lu Ling'er's expression changed, and she hurriedly hid behind Dongfang Yu, "Little brother, you can't blame Ling'er, Sister Xiaoyu gave too much!"
Gu Xiaoxing gritted his teeth and looked at her fiercely.
Dongfang Yu snorted and glanced at Gu Xiaoxing with a slightly smug look in his eyes.
Qiao Yanran blinked. Dongfang Yu had given her the impression of being aloof and cold before, but now that didn't seem to be the case.
Suddenly, Dongfang Yu's eyes flashed, and he looked at Gu Xiaoxing meaningfully and said again: "Just now that person said that everything in the world is about perfection. Xiaoxing, what do you think?"
Gu Xiaoxing felt a chill down his spine, and immediately spoke indignantly: "Nonsense! There is no such thing as perfection in this world. As the saying goes, everything will turn into its opposite when it reaches its extreme. Perfection itself is not a defect..."
"Everything has flaws. Flaws are the trend of the world. Pursuing flaws is the truth of the world..."
"Shut up!"
Dongfang Yu glared at him, "Did I ask you to talk about these nonsense?"
Gu Xiaoxing smiled awkwardly and immediately dared not say anything more.
Qiao Yanran, who was standing by, stepped forward at this moment and said, "Why are you so confused? Yanran thinks what you said makes sense."
Gu Xiaoxing's heart was pounding. He quickly winked at Qiao Yanran and at the same time frantically transmitted messages with his spiritual thoughts.
But Yanran turned a deaf ear to him and smiled at him, saying, "Don't worry, sir. Yanran is just talking to Sister Dongfang. She won't do anything else."
When Gu Xiaoxing heard this, his eyes split again and he silently took a step back.
As he expected, the next moment, the temperature on Dongfang Yu's side suddenly dropped to a level, almost to the point where water could freeze.
"Sister? Is that wrong?"
Dongfang Yu snorted coldly, "If I remember correctly, Xiaoxing is your master, you should at least respectfully call me Madam."
Qiao Yanran countered the move and continued, "Young Master is indeed Yanran's master. He also said that Yanran is his in life and his ghost in death..."
On the side, Gu Xiaoxing felt his scalp tingling as he heard this. He had long known that Qiao Yanran was an extremely sinister person, and these words were too hurtful.
It was no use trying to persuade them, and he didn't dare to help either of them. He quickly took a step back again to avoid being affected.
Lu Linger blinked, seeming to realize the seriousness of the matter, but at this time, even she didn't dare to interrupt, and she followed Gu Xiaoxing's example and backed away little by little.
But Hongyue did not have such awareness. Seeing that the two were confronting each other and seemed to be about to quarrel, she went up to speak for her master without hesitation.
But suddenly, Hongyue felt a fierce gaze coming at her, and it could not be anyone else but Gu Xiaoxing.
This immediately reminded Hongyue of Gu Xiaoxing's previous threat, and she couldn't help feeling guilty. Although she did not admit it herself, what if her master misunderstood?
In the end, Hongyue gritted her teeth, silently took a step back, and chose not to help.
Gu Xiaoxing finally breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself: Let them quarrel, but if you continue to make trouble, they will inevitably fight.
All along, Qiao Yanran didn't say much in front of Gu Xiaoxing, and most of the time she just stayed quietly by his side.
Although Dongfang Yu talks more and has a bit of a temper, he never has any ulterior motives when talking to Gu Xiaoxing and just says whatever he thinks.
But at this moment, the two of them were talking to each other, and the meaning of their words was obscure and full of innuendos, which could be said to be a back and forth movement.
Although no action was taken, Gu Xiaoxing felt as if he saw gods fighting.
He always thought that his words were sarcastic enough, but when these two got serious, it was nothing compared to him.
Gradually, Gu Xiaoxing became numb.
"Run?"
Gu Xiaoxing couldn't stand it anymore, and this thought came to his mind uncontrollably.
But at this moment, Dongfang Yu looked at her with a smile, which was obviously flawless, but Gu Xiaoxing found it extremely terrifying.
"Xiao Xing, just now I was talking to Saint Netherworld about the two kinds of lotus in this world. Which do you think is prettier, the Netherworld Lotus or the Ice Lotus?"
Qiao Yanran also looked at Gu Xiaoxing with a smile on her face, waiting for an answer.
But there was no answer to this question. Gu Xiaoxing wanted to die. He would rather have a big fight with someone than face such a situation.
In the end, I could only bite the bullet and say, "Everything... everything is fine..."
"Xiaoxing, you'd better think it over carefully before you speak..." Dongfang Yu interrupted Gu Xiaoxing with a smile, then shook his fingertips and a long sword appeared in his hand.
"Sir, just tell the truth. Yanran will listen to you in everything..." Qiao Yanran also said with a smile.
If you had listened to me, things wouldn't have turned out like this!
Gu Xiaoxing screamed wildly in his heart, feeling torn.
Not to mention Gu Xiaoxing, even Lu Linger who had already retreated far away felt extremely scared at this moment!
"My two sisters, this is so scary!"
"Xiao Xing, tell me! Which one is prettier, the Dark Lotus or the Ice Lotus?"
"Sir, it's okay, just tell me..."
Gu Xiaoxing trembled with fear and wished he could split himself in half so that he could answer one by one. However, this was obviously unrealistic.
Finally, he turned his gaze to the little Qilin beside him and said subconsciously: "Get rich, what do you think?"
Because the little Qilin missed his master so much, he squatted beside Gu Xiaoxing obediently.
But this time, it was confused, especially when it saw Qiao Yanran and Dongfang Yu looking at it at the same time, it was scared and cried.
The big black dog Wangcai couldn't stand it anymore, so he kicked the little Qilin as if nothing had happened, and the little Qilin made a "woof" sound.
The little Qilin immediately understood and quickly turned into a ray of lightning, hiding between Gu Xiaoxing's eyebrows.
Without Facai, Gu Xiaoxing could only turn his eyes to Wangcai, but he saw that Wangcai was even more desperate, foaming at the mouth and falling down with convulsions.
Gu Xiaoxing’s eyes widened immediately, thinking why didn’t I think of this!
At this moment, two pairs of eyes had fallen on him again, making his scalp burst. He gritted his teeth and said, "I... I think..."
"What do you think?"
The two asked almost at the same time.
"I think..."
Before Gu Xiaoxing could finish his words, he started running, and even directly activated his magical power of Fang Cun. He fled thousands of miles away in one step and disappeared in an instant, leaving only his voice echoing.
"I think...you all look good!"
“Young Master…!”
“Xiao Xing…!”
Qiao Yanran and Dongfang Yu said in unison, both wanted to call out to Gu Xiaoxing, but they could not find him anywhere.
In fact, both of them could have caught up, but when they saw that the other didn't chase, they simply didn't.
Then, the two looked at each other again, but this time it was only a brief contact before they shifted their gazes and did not say another word.
Qiao Yanran's eyes fell on Lu Ling'er in the distance and said, "Ling'er, come back with me."
Dongfang Yu also looked at her and said, "Ling'er, follow me. I will take you back to Xuantian Territory."
Lu Linger blinked, followed the direction of Gu Xiaoxing, and disappeared .
"Brother, wait for me!"
“Woof woof…!”
Wangcai below no longer pretended to be dead and chased after Lu Linger.
Only Hongyue was still standing there blankly, looking somewhat at a loss.
Dongfang Yu gritted his teeth. He was a little angry and wanted to bite someone, but on the surface he tried to appear calm.
"I have not been with Xiaoxing for these years. Saint Youtian has always taken care of me. This golden dragon is a thank you gift. You can take it."
Qiao Yanran glanced at Dongfang Yu, shook her head, and said, "Give it to Hongyue. If it weren't for her, you might not be able to see the Master..."
Dongfang Yu's expression froze, and he looked at Hongyue fiercely and asked, "What happened?"
Hongyue didn't dare to hide anything and told her master everything. Of course, she didn't dare to say some things that could easily lead to misunderstanding.
When Dongfang Yu heard this, his face immediately turned gloomy and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
"Yangtian again!"
At this moment, she and Qiao Yanran looked at each other again, but this time, it was different.
Although there was no verbal communication, there was a sense of shared hatred for a common enemy in their eyes.
If Gu Xiaoxing were still here, he would definitely feel gratified seeing the look in Dongfang Yu and Qiao Yanran's eyes.
