Chapter 1198: 582 Long Yi arrives (second update)_2

Nanxiang smiled, "That’s all in the past, the Seventh Prince is a friend of Jingkong, have you forgotten?"

Master Lu said, "Of course, I haven’t forgotten. Jingkong always mentions him, along with that Xu Zhuzhu."

Nanxiang said, "If something happens to the Seventh Prince, Jingkong will definitely be very sad."

Master Lu sighed, "That may be true, but I don’t want you to go back to that place."

Nanxiang touched her disfigured face through the veil, "Looking like this, who would recognize me? Even if someone did, nobody would care anymore, right?"

Master Lu said, "I’ll accompany you."

Nanxiang said, "You don’t need to go, just wait here for me."

Master Lu said, "But..."

Nanxiang said, "Listen to me."

Master Lu surrendered helplessly.

Gu Jiao pushed Huangfu Xian out.

"Jiaojiao..." Nanxiang turned around, and at a glance, saw Huangfu Xian sitting in a wheelchair. He had just woken up from his sleep, leaning on the wheelchair irritably, with a touch of sickly irritability, his eyes red at the corners, his gaze rebellious.

Nanxiang’s eyes bulged out in an instant!

Such a beautiful child! She wanted to kidnap him to be Xiaoshun’s younger brother!

Master Lu opened his mouth, "I think I still should follow you..."

Nanxiang, with a swing of her arm, pushed him away, "Get away."

Suddenly feeling shunned, Master Lu said, "..."

Huangfu Xian brought Nanxiang into the palace, while Gu Jiao mounted a horse with Xiaojiu, heading out of the city towards the hideout of the Yan Country people.

Here’s the way Xiaojiu communicated information — first, it would follow someone. If it lost track, it would return home and cover its bird head with a pair of wings, looking particularly dejected.

If it didn’t lose them, it would bring back a piece of dead branch from the vicinity of the destination, strutting proudly in front of everyone!

That day, it strutted several times, seemingly aware of its significant accomplishment.

Gu Jiao took out the dead branch that it had brought back that day.

Xiaojiu excitedly flapped its wings, whooshing into the sky!

Gu Jiao followed Xiaojiu out of the western city gate, heading southwest.

As dusk fell, Gu Jiao arrived at a manor nestled against the mountains and beside the water.

Xiaojiu circled in the sky before landing back on Gu Jiao’s shoulder.

"Is it here?" Gu Jiao asked.

Xiaojiu flapped its wings, "Cluck cluck da!"

Gu Jiao said, "That’s a hen."

Xiaojiu said, "Coo!"

Gu Jiao said, "That’s a pigeon."

Xiaojiu chirped, "Peep!"

Gu Jiao said, "..."

How many bird languages do you actually speak?

Gu Jiao quietly estimated that it had taken a full two hours to walk here from Bishui Alley, which would be faster during the day. It might take longer than two hours to return at night.

To be safe, she had better get the antidote before the hours of Yin.

"Chirp!"

Xiaojiu suddenly ruffled its feathers.

Gu Jiao felt a very strong aura, and reflexively grabbed the Red-Tasseled Spear behind her; the next second, a tall dark shadow swooped down from the sky, stepping over from horseback and whisking her away!

Gu Jiao thought, "..."

Gu Jiao was taken into a nearby grove.

There, a carriage was parked.

Gu Jiao, with a dark face, felt her cheeks puff up from the cold wind blasting at her face, making her look like a sad frog that couldn’t close its mouth.

Long Yi, when flying, was very rough, but his movements to place her in the carriage were extremely gentle.

He especially used his inner energy to smooth her unruly hair, particularly that one rebelliously stubborn tuft.

Princess Xinyang glanced at Gu Jiao and said casually, "Who asked you to follow?"
