Rebirth of the Heavenly Empress Chapter 397 - Careless

Chapter 397: Careless

Especially Yu Shijin. His pitch-black eyes were as cold as ice.
“Gu Sheng, don’t be impolite!” The Gu Family Head glared at the young man who spoke before bowing to Yu Shijin. “I’m sorry, Mr. Yu. Gu Sheng and the rest don’t know that she is your friend. I’m really sorry.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Shijin only gave a faint hum. No one could tell his sorrow and joy.
They didn’t know if he was happy or not.
“Let’s go then.” Seeing Yu Shijin’s attitude, the chief immediately led them up the mountain.
Yu Xiangyang and Qu Yan were walking at the back. When they saw the rugged mountain road, they were stunned.
They had actually been to quite a number of mountainous areas before, but there was at least one road in those mountainous areas. And here … there wasn’t even a handrail on the road?
Yu Xiangyang stroked his chin. “If there’s a chance, I will make Apollo build a cable car here.”
Qu Yan nodded. It would be a waste of time to climb up like this.
Upon hearing the two of them, Gu Sheng and Gu Shan—who were placed at the back by the Gu Family Head—had a cold glint in their eyes. As expected of ordinary people who had never seen the world. A cable car? Their ancestors had specially created this to make it easier for their people to train.
As a cultivator, they had to rely on a cable car? What kind of words were those?
However, these two youths had obviously been instructed by the Gu Family Head. This time, they didn’t dare to say anything.
Halfway down the road, Chief Gu suddenly received a message. His expression changed. “What? They are all gone?”
The other party said something, and Chief Gu cut off the connection. He said to Yu Shijin, “Mr. Yu, please save our people …”
Yu Shijin didn’t speak. He just had one hand in his pocket, dressed in black, looking very cool.
He looked at Chief Gu calmly.
Seeing him like this, the Gu Family Head couldn’t help but steel his heart. “I know why all of you are here. As long as you can help us this time, I promise to give you something.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Shijin seemed to estimate his gains and losses. In the end, he nodded under Chief Gu’s expectant gaze.
Chief Gu was overjoyed. His face was no longer as gloomy as before. Instead, it was filled with joy. “They are outside the defensive line. Let’s go over now.”
With that, he glanced at Su Huiqing and the rest. “These few … Gu Sheng and Gu Shan, bring these four back to the tribe first.”
Hua Guangxuan looked at Yu Shijin.
“Old Yu, go with Murong. I will stay behind to protect them.” He waved his hand. He would naturally do what he promised on the private jet, especially the information he received. It was very dangerous here. He was really worried about letting the four of them go with Gu Sheng.
Unexpectedly, after he finished speaking, Yu Shijin just glanced at him mildly. “You will come with us.”
Not to mention Hua Guangxuan, even Murong Bai widened his eyes. “Are you joking?”
“Do you think I am joking?” Yu Shijin looked up at the two of them calmly. “Don’t worry, they can handle it.”
Hua Guangxuan opened his mouth. He didn’t look like he was joking.
However, to let four ordinary people walk up the mountain? At night? Especially during such a special period.
Hua Guangxuan still wanted to persevere, but seeing how determined Yu Shijin was, he couldn’t help but sigh. He then gave Su Huiqing a weapon. “Take this with you anytime. If anything happens, don’t be afraid. This thing will protect you. Why don’t you tell Old Yu to let me stay behind to protect you …?”
“You should leave …” Su Huiqing just smiled at him.
She looked like she didn’t know what to do.
This time, Hua Guangxuan had no choice. In the end, he watched as Su Huiqing promised him to bring his weapon properly before leaving with Chief Gu and the rest.
“I am always worried about them.” Hua Guangxuan sighed. As he walked, he said to Murong Bai, “Old Yu is not dumb this time, right? If they can handle it, what can the four of them do? And Qingqing, too. I told her before that it will be dangerous. If she told Old Yu, Old Yu would definitely agree to her.”
Yu Shijin’s obedience towards her these few days had blinded him. How could he pretend not to see it?
“Don’t worry.” Murong Bai was a little worried at first, but seeing Yu Shijin’s calm manner, he suddenly felt relieved. “When did he do something he wasn’t sure of? He must have expected that they wouldn’t be in danger along the way.”
“What do you mean there’s no danger?!” Upon hearing this, Hua Guangxuan exploded. “Don’t you feel that a pair of eyes was watching you all the way?”
“Don’t worry, my lords.” The Gu Family Head turned back and smiled. “They won’t be so bold on this mountain, especially Gu Sheng and Gu Shan. They are the two most talented people in my family. With them around, there’s no need to worry about their safety.”
When the three of them spoke, only Yu Shijin remained silent. However, if one looked closely, one could see the coldness in his eyes …
And that smirk.
