Chapter 322 Severing the Chains
Xiao Zhao's face, which had been filled with fear, was instantly filled with surprise.
That handsome face was the one she had longed for day and night.
I never expected to actually see it today.
Overwhelmed with joy, Xiao Zhao rushed forward and hugged Gu Qianbei.
This bold move surprised Gu Qianbei for a moment.
"Young master, Xiao Zhao misses you so much. I never expected to dream of you again today, it's so wonderful."
Hearing Xiao Zhao's words, Gu Qianbei didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
This silly girl actually treated it all as a dream.
"Xiao Zhao, the me in your dreams won't have any warmth."
Gu Qianbei gently reminded her, and Xiao Zhao was stunned.
Yes, this body temperature doesn't seem fake.
Could all of this be real?
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhao blushed.
My God, is this not a dream?
What was I doing just now?
Xiao Zhao immediately released Gu Qianbei, her voice barely audible.
"I'm...I'm sorry."
Seeing Xiao Zhao's shy expression, Gu Qianbei laughed even more unrestrainedly.
"Why are you shy now? You weren't like this just now."
If you miss me, then miss me. It's just the two of us here, and I won't laugh at you.
And I miss you too.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here.
Hearing Gu Qianbei say this, Xiao Zhao was both surprised and delighted.
Did the young master come specifically to see me?
"Young master, how did you know I was here?"
"Your young master is very capable, so naturally I know everything."
Xiao Zhao didn't doubt Gu Qianbei's words, because in her eyes, Gu Qianbei was indeed very capable.
"I also know that your mother was once the Purple-Robed Dragon King, now Granny Golden Flower, and that you came here to steal the Great Shift of the Universe manual to help Granny Golden Flower escape the persecution of the Persian religion, right?"
After hearing Gu Qianbei's words, Xiao Zhao's mouth opened slightly, her face filled with disbelief.
"Young master, you actually know everything?"
Apart from Xiao Zhao and Granny Jin Hua, there should be no third person in the world who knows about these things.
But judging from Gu Qianbei's appearance, he didn't seem to be sent by Granny Jin Hua at all.
Therefore, Xiao Zhao was filled with doubts.
"Impressive, right?"
Xiao Zhao nodded repeatedly.
"Silly girl, if you hide here on Bright Peak all by yourself, once your identity is exposed, even if Yang Xiao spares your life out of respect for the Purple-Robed Dragon King, your life will not be easy."
And you have to be someone's maid, don't you find that hard work?"
Gu Qianbei tenderly patted Xiao Zhao's head.
Xiao Zhao smiled.
"Young master, I'm actually doing quite well here. Although the young lady has a bit of a temper, she's very kind and hasn't mistreated me."
You see I'm in handcuffs and shackles? That's because I did something that made her suspicious.
"If it weren't for Miss's kindness, I probably wouldn't be alive today after she discovered I was acting strangely."
Xiao Zhao's words, though meant to comfort Gu Qianbei, were also true.
Yang Buhui may have a bit of a spoiled brat attitude, but she is definitely a kind person.
"Okay, even if you're right."
"But now that I'm here, I won't let you be this maid anymore, and I certainly won't let you wear these handcuffs and shackles."
As Gu Qianbei spoke, he took out the Tingbei sword with his right hand. A flash of golden light appeared, and the sword materialized. Then, he slashed at Xiao Zhao's handcuffs and shackles with a single strike.
With two clanging sounds, the handcuffs and shackles were all cut off, and Xiao Zhao immediately regained her freedom.
"this……"
Upon witnessing this astonishing scene, Xiao Zhao opened her eyes, her face filled with disbelief.
These handcuffs and shackles are not made of ordinary metal; their material can be described as extremely sturdy.
Unexpectedly, it was instantly severed by Gu Qianbei's sword.
Yang Xiao had previously said that, apart from the key, only divine weapons could cut through it.
But the Sword of Stopping the Cup in front of us is not some divine weapon; it is just a sword body condensed by Gu Qianbei using the Golden Light Spell.
This is enough to show that Gu Qianbei's strength has now reached an unfathomable level.
Because the power of the Stop Cup Sword will continuously increase as Gu Qianbei's cultivation level increases.
With Gu Qianbei's current strength, the Stop Cup Sword formed from golden light can indeed be compared to divine weapons.
"Young master, has your strength increased that much in the past few years?"
Xiao Zhao exclaimed in shock.
Back in Qixia Town, Gu Qianbei was indeed skilled, but he was far from reaching this level.
Although Xiao Zhao's martial arts skills were lacking, her eyesight was excellent.
She could tell that Gu Qianbei's current strength was in no way inferior to Yang Xiao's.
He might even surpass Yang Xiao.
"My strength has indeed improved a lot. How about it? Am I qualified to protect you now?"
Gu Qianbei laughed.
Xiao Zhao was deeply moved upon hearing this.
Unexpectedly, Gu Qianbei traveled a long way to come, and he was actually thinking of protecting her.
She had never felt so valued.
"Thank you, young master."
There's no need for formalities between us.
Speaking of which, I'm still angry about you leaving without saying goodbye back then.
Gu Qianbei feigned anger, but Xiao Zhao immediately said nervously, "I'm sorry, young master."
I was going to see you, but my mother suddenly showed up, so I didn't dare to go.
I'm afraid my mother will find out about you and then take action against you.
You were no match for my mother back then, which is why I chose to leave a letter and go.
If you blame me, I apologize.
Seeing Xiao Zhao's sincere expression, Gu Qianbei couldn't help but smile.
"Okay, I'm not really blaming you."
I know you're thinking of my safety.
I came here to save you.
If you want the manual for the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, I'll help you find it.
If you're worried that Granny Jin Hua will be hunted down by the Persian sect, I can help you deal with the Persian sect.
This is my promise to Xiao Zhao, Gu Qianbei, and it will never change.
Looking at the gentle Gu Qianbei in front of her, Xiao Zhao felt her eyes well up with tears.
She realized for the first time what it felt like to be loved so passionately by someone.
That's great.
"Young master..."
Xiao Zhao finally couldn't hold back her tears, letting them slide down her beautiful but ugly face.
"Don't cry. I didn't come here to make you cry."
Gu Qianbei smiled and wiped away Xiao Zhao's tears.
"Um."
Xiao Zhao stopped crying, and a smile slowly appeared on her lips.
"Alright, it's getting late, let's go find the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth."
Gu Qianbei laughed.
"Young master, do you know where the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth is?"
Xiao Zhao exclaimed in surprise.
Gu Qianbei nodded slightly.
"It's in the secret passage on Bright Peak."
Yang Dingtian practiced the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth in a secret passage, but his wife's affair with Cheng Kun caused his qi and blood to be overwhelmed, leading to a qi deviation and his death.
The secret manual for the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth was thus left in the secret passage, undiscovered by anyone.
"this……"
Xiao Zhao's eyes widened; she never expected the truth to be like this.
What surprised her even more was that Gu Qianbei actually knew this secret.
