Chapter 1102: Your Master is doing very well.
If we're really talking about Qin Yiyao being willing to accept Ling Xuzi's request to do this rather thankless and arduous task...
One reason was that she wanted to ask Yue Ru about her master's situation, although she wasn't sure if Yue Ru had actually seen Gu Heng.
Secondly, it was to repay Ling Xuzi's kindness in recognizing his talent.
Finally, come to Wanchao Civilization to cultivate yourself properly.
Gu Heng.
Upon hearing this name, Yue Ru's eyes showed a slight surprise.
The surprise lasted only a moment.
But Qin Yiyao noticed it immediately!
It was like a burst of pent-up anger erupting from his chest.
“You know him.”
Qin Yiyao's voice was soft, yet it carried an undeniable certainty.
The air inside the cabin seemed to freeze for a moment, and the "gray lines" that were drifting around Yue Ru and constantly eroding her seemed to twist and turn erratically with the slight fluctuations in her emotions.
Yue Ru remained silent for a moment, her eyes scrutinizing Qin Yiyao as she reassessed her importance.
"What did you ask him to do?"
Her gaze was sharp and cold, as if she had subconsciously regarded Qin Yiyao as an enemy!
If there's anything she'll never forget, then Yue Ru would naturally put Gu Heng second, with the first being the Epoch Gods, whom she considers her inescapable mission in life.
Not because of anything else.
Because Gu Heng is full of secrets!
His actions in the Epoch Cemetery did not resemble those of a prisoner, something Yue Ru had already determined. Since he was not a prisoner and was unaware that he had entered a deadly place that could be described as certain death, then there were many problems.
Moreover, Gu Heng's subsequent display of strength and generosity exceeded Yue Ru's expectations.
Even after she became a little more familiar with him, Yue Ru still couldn't figure out his secret.
but.
Yue Ru had heard him mention that he had an apprentice who was still waiting for him.
She didn't know what the disciple's name was, and Gu Heng never intended to explain in detail.
Is there really such a coincidence in the world?
"He is my master."
Qin Yiyao made no attempt to hide it.
At this point, there's no point in hiding it; she needs information, and honesty may be the only way to get it.
"is it?"
Yue Ru did not agree immediately. Instead, she looked around and said, "Since you say he is your master, then you must be able to describe his style of doing things."
"My master is very dull."
Qin Yiyao decisively said, "They look just like naive mortals who have never experienced the ways of the world."
Hear the words.
Yue Ru then burst into laughter, something she hadn't done in a long time.
The laughter was slightly hoarse, accompanied by a somewhat broken sound of wind. Considering the time she spent in the Epoch Cemetery, it had probably been a long time since she had laughed like that.
The little girl in front of me was right.
If you're talking about someone who's like an ordinary person, then yes.
The Gu Heng she had met was indeed very dull, so dull that he was reckless and ignorant, and dared to go anywhere.
But he just happens to have that kind of strength that others can't see through, which gives him confidence.
One of the reasons Yue Ru couldn't forget Gu Heng was that he possessed a strange combination, a blend of the strong and the ordinary, which was simply too abnormal.
"It seems you really are his apprentice, to be able to speak so accurately."
A faint sense of relief crossed Yue Ru's face. "That's right. I've met him. He also told me that he had a disciple, but when I saw him at the time, I felt that he was unlikely to have the ability to teach a disciple."
"How is my master?"
Qin Yiyao quickly pressed for more information.
She tried her best to appear less agitated.
After so long, this was the first time she had heard news about Gu Heng from someone else, and it was news she had witnessed firsthand!
The years of waiting and futile speculation have vanished in an instant, easily erased.
"It's so good, so good that I don't understand it."
Yue Ru shook her head.
Those who enter the Epoch Cemetery will be polluted and eroded, eventually becoming unlike themselves, but Gu Heng has never been like that.
He came out exactly the same clean as when he went in.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yiyao breathed a sigh of relief.
She was still quite afraid that her guess that her master was alright was just wishful thinking. Now that there was a definite answer, that was really great.
Afterwards, you can contact other people to inform them of this matter, which can be considered as reassuring them.
Do you know who your master is?
"……do not know."
Qin Yiyao also wanted to know what Gu Heng's background was. She didn't like that her master was always shrouded in such a thick fog of mystery.
While she made her guesses, sometimes she felt she shouldn't have made them.
If you can't verify it, it will leave a deep, indelible impression on your mind.
"Unfortunately, I thought you could answer my questions."
Yue Ru sighed.
After learning that Qin Yiyao was his disciple, Yue Ru also had the idea of finding out Gu Heng's identity from her.
But it seems that neither of them can satisfy the other.
"If you want to see him, you've already missed your chance."
“We escaped from the Epoch Cemetery together, but he didn’t come with us. I suppose he didn’t want to be associated with the rebels. That’s understandable, since he doesn’t look like a prisoner condemned and abandoned by civilization.”
Given a choice, probably no one would choose to go to extremes.
There was no choice in who the tomb keeper was, but as far as Yue Ru knew, no one had any objections.
It's better to have no choice; you won't have those unrealistic, beautiful fantasies in your mind, thinking that you can regain your past glory.
"It doesn't matter."
"He just needs to be outside."
Qin Yiyao clasped her hands in thanks and said, "Thank you very much, Chief Yueru."
"It's alright. I'm no longer the chief of the Purple Sun Division. This honor belongs to you, but I think someone else will take it soon."
Yue Ru could tell.
Even a powerful force like the Jade Emperor Palace, which roams the vast outer heavens, might not be taken seriously by Gu Heng's disciple.
The future life is to be feared.
"You should leave now; this is not a place for you to linger."
……
The Spirit Tomb Witch King, who was meditating with his eyes closed, twitched his eyelids slightly.
He was surrounded by a magical power that mingled with pale green and dark red, which struggled against the remnants of concepts that were trying to erode him.
Deep within his perception, the entire main ship and even the entire fleet were enveloped in the sorcery he had laid out. This was not for attack or defense, but rather the most refined extension of perception, capable of capturing the most subtle changes in power within its range.
Whether it's the ripples in space or the momentary tremors of the fate line, it's all within their grasp.
And just now.
Someone used some kind of secret treasure and fled far away.
The destination is the Wanchao civilization.
"Did you sense it?"
Beside him, Lord Lieyang's figure gradually came into view.
"Yes, a little girl walked away."
The Tomb Witch King didn't even lift his eyelids.
Lord Lieyang looked at him and said, "That's not what I was asking."
"I know you want to ask about the connection to her fate."
