Chapter 872: Alert
Feng Qingtian looked at her worriedly. “Your injury...”
“I’m fine now. It doesn’t hurt at all anymore. If we miss out on tonight, we won’t have as good an opportunity again.”
The reason why she agreed to participate in the competition was to injure the other side so that it would be easier for her to do things.
Feng Qingtian could only nod.
Gu Bailu got off the bed. “I’ll do a divination first. It might give us a general direction, but it’ll consume more spiritual power.”
“I’ll give it to you.” Feng Qingtian lowered his head and kissed her.
Gu Bailu was speechless.
So, spiritual power could be transferred like this.
Feng Qingtian ended the kiss and licked her lips reluctantly. “Do your divination. We’ll eat when we get back.”
Gu Bailu glared at him, and Feng Qingtian smiled. “If you glare at me again, we won’t have to do any proper business tonight.”
Gu Bailu promptly ran away. She took out a golden hairpin and placed it on the table. She focused her attention and released a bright eight-trigram rune which hung over the hairpin.
She muttered a spell under her breath as the golden hairpin spun on the table faster and faster.
Gu Bailu was running out of spiritual power, and beads of sweat popped up on her forehead.
Feng Qingtian was a little worried. “Lulu, don’t force yourself.”
Gu Bailu wouldn’t listen to him. If she didn’t continue, all this spiritual power would be wasted.
Finally, she used her last bit of spiritual power. The golden hairpin suddenly stopped, and the sharp tip pointed to the southeast.
Gu Bailu was so tired that she took a step back. Feng Qingtian caught her and wiped her sweat with a handkerchief. “Are you alright?”
“It’s fine, it’s fine. It’s my fault that the level of my family arts is too low. I can only rely on my spiritual power. If my technique was higher, I wouldn’t need spiritual power.”
“Don’t talk so much. Let’s dual cultivate more.”
Gu Bailu was speechless.
Don’t just do it whenever you feel like it!
“Let’s go to the southeast. I don’t believe we can’t find it.” Gu Bailu took Feng Qingtian’s hand and was about to leave.
Holding her in his arms, Feng Qingtian slipped out of their palace.
With a definite direction, things would be easier.
There were imperial guards everywhere in the imperial palace, but they were nothing to Feng Qingtian and Gu Bailu.
If anything went wrong, Gu Bailu would cast an immobilization rune and a dizzy spin rune.
Ye Qi sighed. “It’s so much easier with the princess around.”
When they had come out earlier, they had to avoid this and that. Their nerves had been stretched taut and they had to kill a few times to avoid detection.
“Of course. That’s why I’m the princess and you’re the guards.” Gu Bailu chuckled.
Ye Qi said obsequiously, “The princess is wise.”
“Shut up.” Feng Qingtian’s face didn’t look good. He didn’t like any living being taking away his woman’s attention.
They continued southeast and arrived at the imperial garden in the blink of an eye. There was a lake in the imperial garden that was as bright as a mirror. The moonlight was reflected in it, making it bright and clear.
The bracelet in Gu Bailu’s hand flashed and sounded an alarm.
“Alert, alert, the target is nearby. Everyone, pay attention.”
“Ye Qi and Ye Ba, go to the lake and take a look. The rest of you, watch our surroundings carefully. Don’t miss any clues.”
Pill refinement required a place with good feng shui. It was best if there were mountains and rivers, where spiritual power could be gathered.
Although there weren’t any mountains here, there was a bamboo forest and a lake nearby.
They could clearly feel a powerful spiritual force field.
Gu Bailu took a deep breath; she really felt like sitting down to cultivate in this place rich with feng shui.
Feng Qingtian checked around with Gu Bailu. The bracelet lit up with every step she took, and the light grew brighter and brighter. When she was far away, it grew dim again.
