Time Travel: The Heroine Has Arrived!

Chapter 106: Chapter 106: The Legendary Genius Junior Ancestor VS White Lotus Outer Sect Junior Sister (Part 20)

Gu Shengyin and Zhao Ximing were the first wave of people to act.

The system was confident, “Host, don’t worry, under the same conditions, your chances of obtaining the treasure are higher than everyone else’s. The saying ‘the protagonist is favored by the world’s laws’ is not without basis.”

Indeed, as the system had said, while the others were still panicking over whether the magma that had appeared was an outflow of fire, Zhao Ximing had already followed Gu Shengyin safely and without incident to where the Fire Eye Essence was located.

Zhao Ximing said excitedly, “The rumors say that the Fire Eye Essence is extremely difficult to find, that even searching for ten days to half a month might yield nothing. I didn’t expect that we would be so fortunate as to obtain it on the first day.”

Gu Shengyin could only maintain a smile.

Zhao Ximing carefully took out a white jade bottle, the size of a palm.

Gu Shengyin recognized at a glance that the vial was made of cold jade, indicating that Zhao Ximing had made considerable preparations for the Fire Eye Essence.

The entire pool of Fire Eye Essence was surprisingly completely contained in that small bottle, which was only a few inches tall.

Zhao Ximing carefully put away the bottle and hesitated before saying to Gu Shengyin, “Senior, about this Fire Eye Essence…”

Gu Shengyin interrupted him before he could finish, “I have no use for this Fire Eye Essence, you keep it.”

Zhao Ximing felt somewhat ashamed; he had originally intended to ask Gu Shengyin if he could keep it for himself, since the Fire Eye Essence could only be used by one person and he really needed it.

He didn’t expect that her intention from the start was to give it to him.

Gu Shengyin could tell by his demeanor what he was thinking, and she said, “I came here only to take in the sights of the legendary Qifeng Valley. Coming across the Fire Eye Essence was nothing but a coincidence, so don’t feel guilty.”

Zhao Ximing said no more and solemnly gave Gu Shengyin a deep bow, “Disciple thanks Great Grandmaster Uncle for the enormous grace. Should there be an opportunity in the future, I will surely repay it with all my might.”

Gu Shengyin didn’t take the promise seriously, but Zhao Ximing kept it in his heart.

“While everyone is busy searching for the Fire Eye Essence, we should quickly leave this place. It’s only been a short day; no one will believe we’ve already got the item,” Gu Shengyin said.

Zhao Ximing nodded his head.

Indeed, when the two of them arrived at Qifeng Valley’s exit, they saw the forces of Xitian Pavilion guarding there; it seemed they had planned to forcefully snatch the Fire Eye Essence, even if they hadn’t found it.

“Junior sister, I wonder what urgent matter Master has called us back for so suddenly?”

“Yeah, it’s hard to believe that we were waiting for the Flame Essence to emerge, and now we have to return to the sect before we even started looking…”

The guards at the entrance, seeing the two of them hurrying and appearing as if they had an emergency, coupled with the fact that the Fire Eye Essence had just appeared and couldn’t possibly have been found so quickly, didn’t question them closely and let the two pass.

Gu Shengyin breathed a sigh of relief; though she wasn’t afraid of a fight, it would certainly delay them. If the Sword Sovereign took notice, escaping wouldn’t be as easy.

“I plan to return to the sect for seclusion. What about you, Great Grandmaster Uncle?”

As Gu Shengyin’s mission was already completed, she nodded, “I’m also planning to return to the sect.”

The two did not delay, and almost immediately upon returning to their sect, they heard about the Bounty Order released by Xitian Pavilion.

Whoever can cure the Fire Poisoned person, Xitian Pavilion will reward with the position of retainer!

Gu Shengyin understood in her heart: it seemed Bai Xinya was still unable to escape the original plot.
