Chapter 1018: Celebrating Too Soon
“That’s exactly what I want. They’ll be alarmed and definitely go to deal with you. Take everyone whom we left in the palace with you. That way, you can confuse them and make it look like we haven’t returned yet.”
“Alright.” Mo Qian’er nodded.
Gu Bailu thought for a moment and said, “Just listen to the white dragon.”
Although Qian’er had regained her strength, she was still an innocent girl without any combat experience.
The man in his thirties said solemnly, “Prince Zi, Princess Zi, don’t worry. I’ll protect the princess.”
The white dragon left with Qian’er and the guards.
Gu Bailu and Feng Qingtian were left behind with Ye Qi, Ye Ying and the others.
Ye Qi lifted the rock. The hole from before hadn’t changed.
The biggest reason why Xiao Jingyun hadn’t found this place was that he suspected early on that Shao Zun had betrayed him and told Prince Zi about the entrance to the underground palace.
That was why the things had been stolen.
This definitely had to be the main reason why Su Shenfan had switched sides so quickly.
Xiao Jingyun was already suspicious of him. What Su Shenfan hated most was his partners not trusting him. If they didn’t trust him, they wouldn’t be able to cooperate happily.
In addition, Xiao Jingyun had recklessly tried to use beautiful women to hook him, which was even more humiliating.
And he courted death when he tried to touch Bu Yaolian.
How could Su Shenfan stand this injustice? So you suspect that I leaked the location of the underground palace entrance?
Then I’ll do it.
So, Su Shenfan wasn’t in the wrong.
The hole was dug open, and Gu Bailu and the others entered the underground palace. Only two secret guards were left outside, and they would send a signal if anything happened.
Holding Gu Bailu’s hand, Feng Qingtian said, “Whatever happens later, don’t push yourself. I’m here.”
Gu Bailu smiled. “I know, I know. I still have a long life ahead of me.”
“Don’t just talk; don’t leave my side.” Feng Qingtian knew her well. Her mouth said “yes,” but when they really ran into trouble, she would rush in hotheadedly.
However, Feng Qingtian loved that about her. She didn’t set out to cause trouble, but if something happened, she wasn’t scared.
But it also gave him a headache.
“Got it. I promise,” Gu Bailu agreed solemnly.
Feng Qingtian believed that she was sincere.
They walked in, and when they reached the palace, they indeed lost their spiritual power.
They had just turned a corner, when they saw a bunch of people. Ye Qi hurriedly stopped the group. “There’s a wave of imperial guards up ahead.”
“It seems that the supreme pill matured today.”
The last time they came to the underground palace, they were worried they would affect the maturity of the spirit pill. There had been nobody in the underground palace, but today, there were so many imperial guards.
“Nobody has spiritual power. They have to fight with numbers, so Xiao Jingyun and the others aren’t worried.”
He even drew so many people away in the name of hunting.
Gu Bailu snorted. “Doesn’t the Archfiend know that my skills don’t require spiritual power?”
“So you’re definitely his target.”
Gu Bailu chuckled and took out a strand of dry grass. “Want to keep an eye on me? He doesn’t have Sun Wukong’s discerning eyes yet.”
“…”
Feng Qingtian rubbed his forehead. “What about your stomach?”
Her belly was too big to hide.
The 9,999 Spring Harbingers could transform her appearance, but the baby couldn’t be removed.
Gu Bailu’s smile froze. That was right. How had she forgotten that her stomach was like a ball now?!
“I celebrated too soon.”
