The door opened.
As it turned out, it was Twelve.
She was the girl Gu Shuyi had scolded earlier, and Gongsun Qing had taken pity on her. Right now, Gongsun Qing was with her as well.
“Xiao Wu —”
Gongsun Qing was about to speak, when Feng Wu shushed her with a gesture.
Gongsun Qing looked inside and saw that Qiuling was cultivating.
Feng Wu said, “Qiuling is cultivating. Let’s not disturb her. We can talk outside.”
Gongsun Qing nodded. “Of course.”
When they were outside, Feng Wu asked, “What can I do for you?”
Gongsun Qing smiled bitterly. “It’s still about Twelve. Xiao Wu, I know that cultivation is a private thing and that each person has their own method, but I feel really sorry for Twelve…”
Seeing Twelve slowly walk away, Gongsun Qing and Feng Wu followed her.
They chatted as they walked.
Gongsun Qing looked at the tiny figure in front of them before she said to Feng Wu, “Do you know why I care so much about her?”
Feng Wu asked, “Why?”
Gongsun Qing said, “Her mother died while saving me, which is a story probably too long for you to listen to. In one word, I owe her my life.”
She then looked into Feng Wu’s eyes and said, “I can give her everything from weapons to resources, but you’re the only one who can do something about her condition. Xiao Wu, can you help her? Just name your terms, and I’ll…”
Before she could finish, they heard a splash.
Both Feng Wu and Gongsun Qing turned around.
They saw Twelve in the river, and she was struggling.
“Help me…”
An invisible current seemed to carry her downstream.
Gongsun Qing ran after Twelve without hesitation.
Thump!
Gongsun Qing jumped into the water.
She had thought that she could easily get Twelve out, but when she got to her, she felt an invisible hand dragging them down.
Both she and Twelve were in danger.
“Help…”
Seeing Gongsun Qing bobbing up and down in the water, Feng Wu shook her head and jumped into the water.
Gongsun Qing was still a Year 1 student and couldn’t do anything about the undercurrent, but Feng Wu was already a Spiritual Lord, which was quite rare in the Junwu Empire.
Feng Wu grabbed one person in each hand and jumped out of the water.
Gongsun Qing coughed violently.
Luckily, Feng Wu got her out before she drowned.
“Are you alright?” Feng Wu asked.
Gongsun Qing said, “I’m fine… How is Twelve?”
It was the middle of winter, and it was freezing outside.
“She’s barely breathing. I need to treat her first.” Feng Wu shook her head. “I need somewhere warm. We can’t stay here. She’ll freeze to death.”
“Look! There’s a house!” Gongsun Qing pointed at a cabin a few hundred meters away in the woods. “There’s light inside. Someone should be living there. We can get some hot water!”
She then turned to Feng Wu. “There’s no kitchen in your courtyard, so hot water will be hard to get. Plus, we’re a long way from there…”
“Let’s go.” Feng Wu picked up Twelve and headed for the cabin.
She knocked on the door, but no one answered.
Gongsun Qing said, “We can’t afford to wait. Let’s smash the door open!”
Feng Wu nodded.
Since she was carrying Twelve, she let Gongsun Qing do the job.
Thump!
Gongsun Qing pounded on the door. It wasn’t tightly locked, and she easily smashed the door open.
“Huh?”
Gongsun Qing looked around and was confused. “The lights are on, but there’s no one here. What’s going on?”
Suddenly, a shadow pounced at her.
The lights all went off.
The room became pitch dark.
Feng Wu heard Gongsun Qing cry out in horror before everything went silent.
As for Feng Wu…
She was attacked at the same time.
Level 9 Spiritual Lords?
Feng Wu smiled a little.
She had thought that Lord Mu would send a Spiritual King after her, but they were only Spiritual Lords.
What she didn’t know was that someone had set a rule beforehand, forbidding any Spiritual King to take part.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been just Spiritual Lords.
Feng Wu pretended to be knocked out and fell to the ground.
The two Level 9 Spiritual Lords looked at each other in resignation. Why was their enemy so weak?
