My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

Chapter 630: Chapter 165 Wrong, wrong! It was her! (Please subscribe)_3
 

Cheng Guang listened to Gu Wushuang’s words, his face showing a curious expression.

Had Gu Wushuang lost her memory?

Cheng Guang had met Bai Shuxuan before he had become acquainted with Gu Wushuang, who was the then Queen of the South Ming, and had not had any contact with her.

Although they hadn’t made contact,

Nevertheless,

At that time, Bai Shuxuan was the one sent by the King of South Ming and the Queen of the South Ming to assassinate him.

But she didn’t know about it herself???

Cheng Guang found Gu Wushuang’s curious questions a bit strange.

At the same time, a speculation arose in his heart.

Could it be,

That the Queen of South Ming didn’t know what Bai Shuxuan looked like, and only knew that Bai Shuxuan was a Demon Beast?

If not,

Then why would Gu Wushuang be asking him if he knew the Saintess of the Green Hill’s fox tribe?

Instead, she should be worried about whether she would harbor deep hostility when meeting an enemy.

Having thought this far, a trace of astonishment couldn’t help but appear in Cheng Guang’s eyes, and then with a slight smile, he spoke out loud:

“I guess I do know her, and you know her too.”

Gu Wushuang’s eyes widened slightly, “I know her too?”@@novelbin@@

Cheng Guang nodded with a smile, his gaze leaving Gu Wushuang’s face, looking towards the direction where the Dragon Lord’s Envoy had left, and said at an unhurried pace:

“Back then, when the King of South Ming collaborated with the Devil Clan to assassinate me, the one responsible for luring me was this Saintess of the Green Hill fox tribe.”

With Cheng Guang’s words, a moment of confusion also appeared in Gu Wushuang’s autumn water-like eyes.

Gu Wushuang too reacted at this time.

It seemed to be the case.

The conspiracy of the King of South Ming with the Devil Clan,

Gu Wushuang herself was aware of it, she simply hadn’t interfered but rather, had approved of the approach.

Because at that time, just by the power she held as an Avatar of the Demon Emperor, plus the strength of the King of South Ming, it was clearly insufficient; borrowing the power of the Devil Clan made reaching her goal much simpler.

However,

Even if Gu Wushuang herself was aware that the King of South Ming had a collusion with the Devil Clan,

She didn’t know which part of the Devil Clan was involved, what breed they were, or the detailed plans; Gu Wushuang herself was clueless.

It wasn’t that Gu Wushuang wasn’t concerned at the time,

But she felt there was no need to be.

No matter who it was, as long as the goal was achieved, that was sufficient.

With such a mindset, even after the Devil Clan was defeated and their stronghold was upturned by Emperor Zhou, Gu Wushuang herself hadn’t met the colluding Devil Clan members a lot.

Now, having been reminded by Cheng Guang, Gu Wushuang quickly recalled.

“So it was her…”

Gu Wushuang murmured, then looked at Cheng Guang with a hint of surprise, “That Saintess from the Green Hill fox tribe, it seems she attempted to assassinate you.”

“But why is there no killing intent in your eyes?”

“Since when did the Princely Heir become so magnanimous?”

Cheng Guang explained with a smile, “I’ve always been quite magnanimous, okay?”

“Besides, I have already given that Green Hill fox tribe’s Saintess the lesson she deserved.”

After Cheng Guang finished speaking,

Gu Wushuang still wanted to say something more.

This time, Cheng Guang did not give Gu Wushuang the opportunity to speak, his gaze fixed ahead, his eyebrows slowly knitting together as he said to Gu Wushuang:

“Something is not right.”

“Something is not right.”

“Have you noticed the Dragon Lord’s Envoy?”

Cheng Guang’s interruption made Gu Wushuang shift her thoughts from Bai Shuxuan, the Saintess of the Green Hill fox tribe, onto the Dragon Lord’s Envoy.

Gu Wushuang probed around with her mind, but couldn’t detect much of the Dragon Lord’s Envoy’s presence.

“No, but the Dragon Lord’s Envoy headed toward Cultivation Mountain of Ten Thousand Devils. We haven’t arrived at Cultivation Mountain of Ten Thousand Devils yet; I estimate that once we’re near, we will be able to see him.”

Cheng Guang shook his head, “Did you notice just now that the Dragon Lord’s Envoy’s cultivation doesn’t seem very high?”

Gu Wushuang nodded slightly, and Cheng Guang’s reminder made her realize something was amiss too.

“Our speed is faster than the Dragon Lord’s Envoy’s.”

“Moreover, even if the Dragon Lord’s Envoy shrinks his body, given his enormous size, we would have caught up to him by now.”

“But up to this moment, we haven’t sensed his presence at all…”

Cheng Guang nodded, immediately adding, “This Dragon Lord’s Envoy, with such low cultivation, has suddenly disappeared without a trace.”

“There are only two possibilities.”

“One is that he used some method unknown to us to teleport directly into Cultivation Mountain of Ten Thousand Devils.”

“The other is that he’s concealed his aura and made it hard to detect if we just scan roughly over the area.”

Gu Wushuang nodded slightly, then as if thinking of something, turned to Cheng Guang, “What shall we do now?”

“Continue to Cultivation Mountain of Ten Thousand Devils or turn back the way we came?”

“Moreover, if we find that Dragon Lord’s Envoy, what do you plan to do? Kill him straightaway?”

Gu Wushuang asked a series of questions in quick succession.

Cheng Guang didn’t mind her questions; the fact that Gu Wushuang was considering things thoroughly was what he hoped for.

After all, it proved one thing.

Gu Wushuang didn’t harbor much ill will towards him.

On the contrary, she was on the same side as him.

After contemplating for a while, Cheng Guang then said, “You and I will continue to Cultivation Mountain of Ten Thousand Devils, Black Cub will return to search on the way back.”

“There should only be the Dragon Lord inside Cultivation Mountain of Ten Thousand Devils.”

“We will wait for the Dragon Lord’s Envoy on the essential path to enter Cultivation Mountain of Ten Thousand Devils. If we wait long enough, that’s great. If we don’t.”

“To enter Cultivation Mountain of Ten Thousand Devils, we just need to be careful not to let the Dragon Lord detect our aura.”

“If all else fails, we give up and wait for the next opportunity.”

After Cheng Guang finished speaking, Black Cub seemed somewhat reluctant, but still nodded in agreement, and streaked back in the direction they came from.

Black Cub was after all a dog.

Its nose was especially sensitive.

As it streaked back, its nose was secretly sniffing the air.

Cheng Guang watched as Black Cub quickly disappeared from his sight, then he pulled Gu Wushuang along, transforming into two glimmers of light.

Heading towards Cultivation Mountain of Ten Thousand Devils.
