Chapter 422: Removing the Seal Stone

After noticing Ji Ren's strange expression, Gu Sheng quickly put "Yuan" away.

It would be really bad if Ji Ren suddenly attacked him at this moment.

You know, the old woman Ji Hui has a lot of prejudice against herself.

Then her servants are no better.

"Recovered so quickly?"

Ji Ren's lips sneered softly.

"No... not yet, I need to recover slowly."

Gu Sheng replied casually.

"Gu Sheng, I see you are getting better."

At this time, Ji Ziyue suddenly came to Gu Sheng and Ji Ren.

"fine."

Gu Sheng replied.

"Miss Ziyue, how is your health?"

Ji Ren's attitude suddenly turned 180 degrees.

"It's okay, old housekeeper, thank you for caring about me."

Ji Ziyue smiled and nodded.

"You're welcome, caring about Miss is what we servants should do."

Ji Ren nodded.

Suddenly, a servant ran over in a panic.

"Miss Ziyue, ancestor invites you."

The servant bowed and said.

"Please? What can I do?"

Ji Ziyue asked with a slight frown.

"Miss Ziyue, Mr. Hua Yunfei of Taixuan Sect wants to see you."

There was a hint of nervousness in the servant's voice.

"What? Hua Yunfei?"

Ji Ziyue was stunned.

She turned her head to look at Gu Sheng, but she didn't expect Hua Yunfei to chase him here.

Hua Yunfei of Taixuan Sect, this name is well-known in the cultivation world.

Moreover, Taixuanmen is nearly tens of thousands of miles away from here. What is he doing here?

"I see."

Ji Ziyue responded lightly, then turned to Gu Sheng and said, "Let's go take a look."

"Um."

Gu Sheng nodded, and the three of them came to the living room together.

As soon as he entered the living room, Ji Ren saw Hua Yunfei chatting and laughing with Patriarch Ji Hui.

The atmosphere between the two of them seemed harmonious and natural, like the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren.

When Gu Sheng saw this, he couldn't help feeling a little unhappy.

Hua Yunfei's close attitude towards Ancestor Ji Hui was in sharp contrast to the cold treatment he had received before.

Ji Ziyue's face also turned a little cold, but the gift still had to come.

Then, she stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Ancestor Ji Hui.

"Ancestor, do you have anything to do with me?"

Ji Ziyue's attitude was a little cold.

Ancestor Ji Hui smiled and nodded, "Ziyue, this is Young Master Hua Yunfei. He came to visit you specially."

Ji Ziyue turned to Hua Yunfei with a hint of disdain in her eyes.

"Hua Yunfei, why are you here?"

Hua Yunfei stood up with a gentle smile on his face.

"Miss Ziyue, I heard that you were besieged by the Peacock King and injured, so I came to see you."

Hua Yunfei said with a faint smile.

Ji Ziyue frowned slightly, not believing Hua Yunfei's words.

"Hua Yunfei, I know my body well and I don't need you to worry about it."

"Xiao Ziyue, why are you talking?"

Ancestor Ji Hui was immediately displeased and said in a reminding tone.

"Ancestor, I'm not familiar with him."

Ji Ziyue pouted her lips and started to have a bad temper.

"hehe……"

The ancestor let out a hearty laugh: "Little Ziyue, you don't know that Yunfei has something to do with my mother's family. According to the seniority, you should call him cousin."

"What? Cousin?"

Ji Ziyue glanced at Hua Yunfei with wide eyes.

"Forehead……"

Gu Sheng on the side was extremely embarrassed.

Together they are a big family, and I am the only outsider.

If there really is a mouse hole now, everyone wants to plunge into it.

"If he is related to me in this way, then isn't he also a cousin to my brother Haoyue? Then why are the two of them competing? Moreover, he is also deadly..."

Ji Ziyue rolled her eyes at Hua Yunfei. It was obvious that he didn't care about this cousin whom he had just met.

"You don't know this. This is called competition, do you understand? Only in this way can our Ji family and Taixuan Sect have deeper exchanges, and the relationship can be more stable."

Ancestor Ji Hui's tone became more severe, as if he was educating Ji Ziyue.

But Ji Ziyue's nature was not to admit defeat, so he couldn't listen to what the ancestor said.

On the other hand, Hua Yunfei still kept a smile on his face, and he didn't seem to care about Ji Ziyue's coldness.

"Sister Ziyue, you and I are both disciples of Taixuan Sect, and it is my responsibility to care for you."

Hua Yunfei said with a smile.

Gu Sheng stood aside and could clearly feel Ji Ziyue's hostility towards Hua Yunfei.

But due to the presence of her ancestor, Ji Ziyue did not fall out in person.

"Hua Yunfei, I appreciate your kindness. You don't need to worry about anything else."

Ji Ziyue's tone was still cold.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Hua Yunfei's eyes, "In that case, I won't bother you. Miss Ziyue, I wish you a speedy recovery."

After saying that, Hua Yunfei bowed to Ancestor Ji Hui, then turned and left the living room.

Ji Ziyue looked at his back with disdain in her eyes.

"Little Ziyue, Mr. Hua Yunfei also has good intentions."

Ancestor Ji Hui's voice contained a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Ancestor, I know."

Ji Ziyue nodded, "But I hope he won't interfere in my affairs."

"Why……"

Ancestor Ji Hui sighed, "Okay, Xiao Ziyue, you can decide for yourself, but I order you to send him off."

"I...okay."

Ji Ziyue responded, and after looking at Gu Sheng, she said, "Gu Sheng, wait for me, I'll be right back."

"Um."

Gu Sheng responded.

At this time, Gu Sheng, Patriarch Ji Hui and housekeeper Ji Ren were left in the living room again.

Gu Sheng looked at Ji Ziyue's leaving back before he could recover. Ancestor Ji Hui suddenly said: "Gu Sheng, have you got the 'Yuan'?"

"Got it."

Gu Sheng nodded.

"How does it feel?"

The ancestor continued to ask.

"Very good. The physical injuries have also been repaired by 'Yuan'."

Gu Sheng said with a little gratitude in his heart.

"Yeah, good."

The ancestor nodded, glanced outside and continued: "Ziyue is a willful child. There are many things I don't want to say in person. Now that you have received the reward from the Ji family, it's time to leave."

Gu Sheng frowned slightly, as the old woman was waiting for him here.

But having said that, Gu Sheng didn't want to come to Ji's house at all.

Especially the atmosphere here gives people a depressing feeling.

It was as if Ji Hui, the old woman, was a landlord and rich man, controlling the life and death of other people.

"Um."

Gu Sheng nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, ancestor, I am about to leave."

"please!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Ren on the side made a "please" gesture.

Gu Sheng walked briskly through the living room and headed straight for the door.

The sun shone on Gu Sheng's face, bringing a touch of warmth.

As soon as he arrived at the gate, he heard a crisp voice coming from the side.

"Gu Sheng, where are you going?"

Ji Ziyue's voice was filled with urgency.

After arriving at Gu Sheng's side, he asked in surprise: "Butler, what is Gu Sheng doing?"

"I'll send him away."

Ji Ren replied.

"Leave? Why?"

Ji Ziyue asked again.

Gu Sheng turned around, looked at Ji Ziyue, and smiled slightly.

"Ziyue, it's time for me to go."

Ji Ziyue frowned, grabbed his arm, and said with reluctance in her tone: "Why are you in such a hurry? Can't you rest at Ji's house for a few more days?"

"No, I can't go against my ancestor's wishes."

Gu Sheng shook his head slightly and said.

"Ziyue, this is the ancestor's decision, and we must abide by it."

Ji Ren interjected from the side, his tone sounded apologetic, but his attitude was not like that.

It feels like Gu Sheng is a thorn in their side by staying here.

"Forehead……"

Ji Ziyue was helpless.

After all, it was the ancestor who spoke, and it was not easy for him to violate it.

Then she let go of Gu Sheng's arm, pulled Gu Sheng and said, "Come, I have something to tell you."

"What's going on?"

Gu Sheng was a little confused.

Ji Ziyue then pulled Gu Sheng aside.

After making sure that she was at a certain distance from Ji Ren, Ji Ziyue took out a crystal clear stone from her arms and handed it to Gu Sheng.

"This is the seal removal stone, a Ji family gem. It can erase the breath on your body and make you safer during your journey."

Ji Ziyue's voice was low, for fear that Ji Ren would hear it.

"Isn't this not good?"

Gu Sheng deliberately refused, after all, it was a Ji family treasure.

Now that Ji Ziyue secretly gave this to herself, it would be hard to explain if she was discovered.

"If you don't tell me, and I don't tell you, no one will know. Take it quickly, otherwise you will be in more trouble on the road."

Ji Ziyue frowned slightly and looked deliberately angry.

Gu Sheng then thought about it.

Along the way, many people were chasing them.

Now that Ji Ziyue is protected by the Ji family, there is naturally no danger.

And when he goes out, he will definitely become the center of attention.

If you have a seal removal stone with you, it will be a good assistant.

"Okay, thank you."

Gu Sheng took the stone and felt a touch of warmth coming from the stone.

He knew that this was Ji Ziyue's intention, and if he refused now, it would be a bit unkind.

"If it hadn't been for the ancestor's words, I wouldn't have let you go, but...hey..."

Ji Ziyue said and sighed heavily.

"It's okay, it's time for me to leave. I can't stay in Ji's family forever, otherwise I will really become the son-in-law who comes to visit, hehehe..."

Gu Sheng said with a deliberate smile.

"It's already this time and you're still talkative."

Ji Ziyue rolled her eyes at Gu Sheng and pinched Gu Sheng's arm.

When she did this action before, she pinched it right away.

But at this time, Gu Sheng was about to leave, and his hand that was about to pinch him still didn't use any force after all.

"Okay, be careful on the road."

Ji Ziyue let go of her hand and patted Gu Sheng's shoulder gently.

"Thank you, Ziyue."

Gu Sheng nodded.

Ji Ziyue didn't speak, just looked at Gu Sheng quietly.

At this moment, her eyes were filled with complex emotions.

Then, Gu Sheng turned around and walked towards the door again.

He didn't look back, just raised his arms and waved before disappearing out the door.

Ji Ziyue looked at the direction Gu Sheng left, standing there in a daze.

"Miss Ziyue, let's go."

Ji Ren urged.

"Um."

Ji Ziyue nodded, and then went back with Ji Ren.

After Gu Sheng left, he looked back from time to time to make sure no one was following him.

After observing for dozens of miles like this, and making sure that no one was around, Gu Sheng relaxed.

Gu Sheng rushed through the mountains and found a hidden cave.

After entering the cave, there were some weeds inside.

Judging from the scene in front of him, this should be the den of wild wolves or brown bears.

But for some reason, it has been abandoned for a long time.

Gu Sheng simply packed up and prepared to recover his strength here.

After everything was ready, he took out the "Yuan" he got from the Ji family from his arms.

This is a "Yuan" containing powerful energy, and its power is unfathomable, enough to allow him to recover from his old injuries in a short time.

Gu Sheng sat cross-legged, placed the "Yuan" in his palm, and began to regulate his breath.

With the agitation of divine power, the true qi in his body slowly circulated and merged with the power in the "Yuan".

Gradually, he felt a stream of warm currents flowing through his body.

At the same time, the pain in the old injury gradually eased until it disappeared.

The power of this "Yuan" is indeed extraordinary. Within half a day, Gu Sheng felt that his condition was restored to its original state, even stronger than before.

Gu Sheng moved his body and looked at the "Yuan" in front of him with joy.

Just as he was about to continue practicing, he suddenly sensed a weak fluctuation of divine power.

This kind of divine power fluctuation was not ordinary, it might be some kind of powerful existence.

Gu Sheng immediately became alert.

At this time, the first person he wanted to fight in his mind was the Ji family.

Then, he quickly put away the "Yuan" and walked out of the cave carefully.

After some exploration, he did not find anything abnormal.

"Did I make a mistake? It shouldn't be?"

Gu Sheng frowned and became a little suspicious.

But even so, he couldn't take it lightly.

Thinking of this, Gu Sheng took out a piece of seal removal stone from his arms.

This was a magical stone that Ji Ziyue gave him before leaving the Ji family. To be honest, it can erase the tracking mark.

Then, Gu Sheng put the seal removal stone in his palm and rubbed it gently.

"Swoosh!"

A light flashed, and the tracking mark on his body that was vague was completely erased.

"Really good."

Gu Sheng nodded with satisfaction.

Gu Sheng did not stay for long. After erasing the mark, he quickly left the cave.

After coming outside, Gu Sheng's figure disappeared quickly outside the cave like a flash of lightning.

However, even though he was extremely fast, Gu Sheng still felt that there was a faint breath following him all the time.

This feeling was not good, as if he was being monitored halfway.

Gu Sheng felt a little uneasy.

According to his feeling, the owner of this breath was definitely not ordinary, so he had to find a way to get rid of the tracking as soon as possible.

Gu Sheng shuttled through the mountains and forests, and his speed was getting faster and faster.

The tracking breath was always like a shadow.

For several days, Gu Sheng was always uneasy in his heart.

When Gu Sheng was about a thousand miles away from Ji's house, Gu Sheng could still feel it.

Gu Sheng stopped and felt that this was not a solution.

Instead of being passive, it is better to take the initiative.

Thinking of this, Gu Sheng directly left the dense forest as a cover and ran straight to a barren mountain.

There is little vegetation on that barren mountain, only rocks and quicksand.

If you want to hide here, you have to turn into a stone. (End of this chapter)
