C176 This Is Better Not to be Rarer
It was a pity that old man Gong Family had met with trouble, and his life was at risk at any time. If anything were to happen to him, the impact to his Gong Family would be very great.
It was precisely because something had happened to the old lady of the Gong Family that Gong Qinyin had hurried back from the Hall of Martial Arts. Otherwise, she would rather stay in the Hall of Martial Arts than return to the Cloud Edge City.
As for what it was, only she and her family knew.
Xiang Shaoyun could tell from Gong Qinyin's tone that she was someone from the Cloud Edge City, but he didn't feel like there was anything amiss.
"Hehe, many thanks for this lady's good intentions. Right now, you are unable to protect yourself. If you were to protect us, it might be even worse for you!" Xiang Shaoyun smiled at Gong Qinyin.
He looked at Gong Qinyin who looked even more beautiful than before, and couldn't help but think back to the breathtaking scene from before, and her body felt a little hot.
It was unknown why Gong Qinyin had the feeling that someone had seen through her body when she was being looked at by Xiang Shaoyun, but she said unnaturally, "They don't dare to be so arrogant!"
"If this lady really wants to help us, we can talk if you don't want to visit!" Xiang Shaoyun said.
Gong Qinyin looked at Xiang Shaoyun warily and said, "Seems like you don't want me to help you guys, then I'll be leaving!"
She had a nagging feeling that the person in front of her was up to no good.
Just as Gong Qinyin was about to leave, Xiang Shaoyun lowered his voice and said, "Senior Sister Gong, I'm Xiang Shaoyun!"
Gong Qinyin's steps that she was about to take stopped abruptly. She looked at Xiang Shaoyun with astonishment, as if she was trying to find some clues from his face.
"There's no need to look. I'm wearing a mask!" Xiang Shaoyun said again.
Immediately after, he took notice of Gong Qinyin, and walked towards his own client.
Mo Mo followed closely behind, and secretly thought in her heart: "Young Master really does have a background."
Gong Qinyin hesitated for a moment, before following Xiang Shaoyun.
"He really didn't die!" Gong Qinyin said with some joy in her heart.
Back then, after the Golden River Valley battle, Xiang Shaoyun had disappeared without a trace, and everyone believed that he had died in the stomach of a Golden Snake Alligator.
He recalled how Gong Qinyin would shout and kill whenever she saw Xiang Shaoyun, but today, she did not have a single bit of hatred in her heart. She was happy for him, even she herself did not realise some of the changes.
After Gong Qinyin followed Xiang Shaoyun to his client room, Mo Mo consciously guarded the outside of the house and did not follow him in.
Xiang Shaoyun took off the human skin mask on his face, looked at Gong Qinyin and smiled, "Senior Sister Gong, it's been a long time!"
"It's really you!" Gong Qinyin said with a face full of emotions.
"Senior apprentice sister Gong, you can't kill me anymore!" I remember what you promised me. As long as I defeat someone from the Donglian Academy, all of the matters between us will be written off! " Xiang Shaoyun was afraid that Gong Qinyin would go overboard, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to stop him.
"Pu Pu!"
Gong Qinyin couldn't help but laugh as she looked at Xiang Shaoyun's nervous expression.
Her smile was so bright that even Xiang Shaoyun could not help but look at her in a daze.
"Senior Sister, you're so beautiful!" Xiang Shaoyun praised her sincerely.
Although Xiang Shaoyun had seen a lot of beauties, Gong Qinyin's smile was naturally enough to make him happy.
"You're so glib. Don't think that I'll let you off just because you said something nice. You owe me. How can it be so easy to return what you owe!" Gong Qinyin rolled her eyes at Xiang Shaoyun and said.
Thinking about how Xiang Shaoyun had looked at her naked face, red clouds couldn't help but crawl onto her face.
"Ahem, if you still don't understand, then you can only devote your life to me!" Xiang Shaoyun said as he helplessly spread his hands.
"You feel like you're at a disadvantage, right? Do you really think that I care about you?" Gong Qinyin nearly choked on her words.
"It's best not to think too much about it!" Xiang Shaoyun replied.
"You bastard, do you think I'm not worthy of you?" Gong Qinyin scolded angrily.
Xiang Shaoyun revealed a depressed look, "Didn't you say that? "It's my fault!"
"I can't be bothered with you!" Gong Qinyin coldly snorted.
"Alright senior sister, let's not talk about this for now. I want to know if you know anything about the Thousand-Year Fire of Earth's Core." Xiang Shaoyun got to the point.
Gong Qinyin looked at Xiang Shaoyun and said, "Did you hear what we said just now?"
Young Master Xiang nodded, "En, otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to acknowledge you!"
Indeed, if Gong Qinyin was on the same side as Wen Jinnuo, he would definitely not recognize him.
"Are you interested in this Thousand-Year Fire of Earth's Core too?" Gong Qinyin asked.
"That's right, I want it to help me refine some things!" Xiang Shaoyun replied seriously.
Gong Qinyin sighed, "Our Gong Family is also desperate to obtain it, unfortunately, its location is not only dangerous, but it has also been spread out. Who knows how many people want to snatch it, I am afraid we have no hope of succeeding."
"How do you know you won't get it if you don't fight for it!" Xiang Shaoyun replied.
"Alright, then I'll tell you," Gong Qinyin hesitated for a moment, and still told Xiang Shaoyun the news about the Thousand-Year Fire of Earth's Core.
After all, this was already a semi-public secret, so it didn't matter if Xiang Shaoyun found out.
So the Thousand-Year Fire of Earth's Core was originally located in a barren mountain wilderness, and was not too far from the Cloud Edge City. They could reach it within two to three days.
The place was originally a ruined volcano. However, for some reason, it suddenly erupted and formed a flaming mountain. Then, someone discovered that there was a Thousand-Year Fire of Earth's Core there.
This Blazing Mountain was quickly decided by the Cloud Edge Pavilion. Only warriors below the King Realm were allowed to compete for the Fire of Earth's Core, and none above the King's Realm were allowed to.
The reason why they did this, was because they wanted their pavilion's disciples to fight over the opportunity of obtaining the Fire of Earth's Core. They wanted to see which disciple would become the fated one and thus rise to the throne.
However, some time ago, there were already a lot of people below the King's Realm who rushed over in an attempt to find the Thousand-Year Fire of Earth's Core and subdue it.
This news was even told to Gong Qinyin by Wen Jinnuo.
"Right now, that Blazing Mountain has already become the place exclusive to the Cloud Edge Pavilion disciples to train themselves. It won't be easy for others to get close to it …" Gong Qinyin said with a dark expression.
"Haha, isn't this better? Without the participation of the King, we have a high chance of winning against the Fire of Earth's Core! " Xiang Shaoyun laughed.
"Just laugh, even though your fighting strength is not ordinary, how can you compare to those disciples with Cloud Edge Pavilion?!" Gong Qinyin could not help but hit Xiang Shaoyun, and then she changed the topic and said, "Oh right, the matter between you and Wen Family has not been resolved, are you not worried at all?"
"What are you worried about? I'm swaggering out right now, and they don't recognize me. Besides, I don't need to do that!" Xiang Shaoyun revealed a confident expression.
