Chapter 309

"Mm." Ge Ge Silin regained her composure; though tear tracks still marred her face, her gaze remained clear and bright, the purity within her eyes undimmed even by what Quchiki Senya had just heard: "Rui, where are we going now? Are we returning home?"

Quchiki Senya shook his head: "I must go to Emei and take a look."

Ge Ge Silin said: "I'll go with you."

"No, wait here for me. After all, the scenery here is so beautiful—you're not suited for adventure with me." Quchiki Senya patted Ge Ge Silin's shoulder: "Besides, you need to stay behind and control the situation. Emei is already in chaos."

"Alright." Ge Ge Silin nodded: "Rui, be careful. If anything happens, contact me."

"Alright." Quchiki Senya gave Ge Ge Silin a long look, then turned and left.

"I'll wait for you to come back." Ge Ge Silin said.

At that moment, a warm feeling surged within Quchiki Senya's heart.

Yet, after Quchiki Senya had walked three or four hundred meters, Ge Ge Silin suddenly called out.

"Rui!"

"What's wrong?" Quchiki Senya turned his face.

"Rui, please don't go, okay?"

Ge Ge Silin gazed at Quchiki Senya with pleading eyes, tears glistening in her pupils.

She didn't want to let him go.

But Quchiki Senya ultimately did not stop.

"Alright, I'll remember how you look today." Quchiki Senya grinned: "You're more beautiful than ever."

With that, he quickened his pace.

Ge Ge Silin silently watched Quchiki Senya's back until it vanished beneath the shade of the trees, then lowered her gaze toward Ye Pudao.

"Adelhea, this is my private secret base. Few dare intrude here unless… unless you have the Ye Pu Sword; otherwise, your strength alone could never break through my defenses."

The old beggar sat on a beach chair, legs crossed, basking in the sun; his cloudy eyes held the weight of experience and the depth of wisdom.

"Senior, since you lured us here, you must have already found a way to revive your disciple." Quchiki Senya said: "Why didn't you tell Ge Si Lin?"

In Quchiki Senya's view, someone with this old beggar's character wasn't the type to hide things or bother lying.

"Heh, why should I tell her?"

The old beggar sneered coldly twice.

"Senior, are you worried she can't bear the blow?" Quchiki Senya asked.

"Yes." The old beggar squinted toward the Yepu Sect: "Don't defend her for me. This has nothing to do with her. I didn't tell her because I want to protect her—this girl is still too young."

Still too young!
