Evil Emperor's Wild Consort - Chapter 1677: Three Years 7

Zuo Shangchen was dazed and he stared at Gu Ruoyun in astonishment.

So she had known that he was a fake all along? Had she feigned ignorance because she was afraid that the fake Qianbei Ye would fly into a rage after being exposed and kill them?

Zuo Shangchen swallowed the pill as he was thinking about this. A clear liquid then slipped through his body. He opened his mouth and realized that could now speak.

"I'm sorry..."

If it had not been for me, they would never have been dragged down.

"Zuo Shangchen, you've helped me too many times so I don't regret saving you."

I owe Zuo Shangchen so much until I can never repay him in one lifetime.

"Besides, that person would have certainly come to look for us even if it wasn't for you!"

Zuo Shangchen laughed bitterly and sat down next to Gu Ruoyun.

"Xiao Yun'er, there is something that I'm not sure if I should tell you."

He turned around and looked at Gu Ruoyun. He then hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Gu Ruoyun asked calmly, "What is it?"

"Actually..." Zuo Shangchen gently lowered his gaze. There was a complex look in his eyes. "I've never met my Master! From a young age, Master has always spoken to me through a token! In the beginning, he told me that my life will rise in the east so I had journeyed to the Azure Dragon Country and met you there."

Gu Ruoyun lowered her eyelids and did not interrupt as she listened quietly to Zuo Shangchen's explanation...

Zuo Shangchen sighed as he said, "After I had arrived in the First City, Master had asked me to get close to you and help you. He had even asked me not to reveal his existence! Hence, I thought that my Master has a good relationship with you and he did not want you to know that he has been helping you."

"Eventually..." He paused and continued, "I met my Master! He wore a mask and was very mysterious. He then asked me to bring you to the Deserted Snowlands. I had intended to listen to my Master's orders but I had accidentally seen the face behind my Master's mask! I became suspicious after I had seen my Master's face but to make sure Gu Shengxiao's treatment goes without a hitch, I had asked someone to bring the Sorceror's Enchantment Blossom to you. I then went to ask my Master the reason behind his wish to see you."

At this point, Gu Ruoyun gradually understood the truth behind the matter. The corners of her lips twitched but she did not say a word.

Zuo Shangchen looked at her. "In the end, he had flown into a rage out of embarrassment and tried to force me to fool you into coming here. I refused to listen to his order so he had used four bone spurs to nail me to that stone pillar! However, I never thought that you would still come in the end..."

His eyes were filled with an apologetic air.

"Xiao Yun'er, I'm sorry. If I had pretended not to know anything at that time, he would never have nailed me to the stone pillar out of rage. There would've been no need for you to come here to save me either."

Gu Ruoyun shook her head. "I've told you, this matter has nothing to do with you. Even without you, he would still use other means to lure me to this place. By then, he might have resorted to kidnapping my relatives. Zuo Shangchen, I want to leave this formation and the only way to break it is by breaking through to the Ninth Transformation State. For this, I don't wish to be disturbed during the next few days!"

Zuo Shangchen nodded but his peach blossom eyes still contained an apologetic air.

"I understand, I won't disturb you."

In the beginning, Gu Ruoyun was so worried about Qianbei Ye that she felt intense agony! However, she soon got over it and knew what she had to do! Qianbei Ye had done the right thing. She was only a cultivator in the late-stage of the Refined State. She was no match for Cang Ming.
