Gu Yixuan instinctively turned back to look at Qiao Mu. He had expected a disdainful glance, but to his surprise, she didn’t even spare him a glance.
A sense of sorrow filled his heart, like a rabbit crashing into a fox.
Qiao Mu, accustomed to various reactions in life-and-death situations, wasn’t shocked by Gu Yixuan’s choice. In such critical moments, who could truly sacrifice their life for a stranger?
Gu Yixuan’s expression darkened, feeling a mix of depression and indescribable anger. It seemed like he couldn’t channel his frustration when facing this young Crown Prince Consort. If someone ignored you, there was no way to vent your anger.
Taking a deep breath, Gu Yixuan forced himself to turn away with an air of nonchalance. As the most outstanding junior of the Gu family, he needed to maintain composure and not let anger cloud his judgment.
The dimension they were in had undergone a complete transformation. Many people roared and tumbled from Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao’s side, falling headfirst to the ground. Qiao Mu observed them with an indifferent expression, as if they were behaving foolishly.
MO Lian, holding her small hand, leaped gracefully, ensuring Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao landed safely.
As the dimensional exchange concluded, two palaces appeared on the horizon, but everyone knew the one behind was merely a projection.
Qiao Mu pursed her lips and declared, “We’ve been tricked.”
Most people’s attention was fixated on the main hall, and Qiao Mu’s words caught them off guard.
Commandery Princess Xiangchang covered her aching face and turned away, mumbling to herself. Though she wanted to scold Qiao Mu, the memory of Zhongli Zhiwei’s swollen face and the stoic-faced Brother Ah-Yue gave her pause. She hesitated to approach and risk another beating.
Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao shifted her gaze to MO Lian and the others, stating, “This secret realm wasn’t replaced in eight hours. Look at how irregular it is now. Besides, the dimension changed recently, and the time wasn’t altered.”
Crown Prince MO and the others nodded in agreement.
“This secret realm must have an owner!” Qiao Mu declared, causing a stir among the surrounding crowd.
“The Lord of the Secret Realm is plotting to kill us.”
Without an eight-hour replacement pattern, the Lord of the Secret Realm must be lurking somewhere, flipping space-time upon detecting intruders.
A sweet-looking woman stepped forward from Gu Yixuan’s side and voiced a question, “I still have a few doubts. When the dimension changed earlier, everyone escaped the border. Then, the dimension flipped, and we were all turned from the ground to the top. Subsequently, everyone lost gravity and fell. Why is everyone fine?”
A glimmer of realization appeared in Gu Yixuan’s mind, and she nodded with a dark expression. “Exactly, why?”
Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao blinked and glanced at MO Lian, then at Duan Yue and Venerable Peach Blossom Immortal. It became apparent that without gravity, these individuals were descending like dumplings.. Was hovering impossible in the absence of gravity?
