1906 Cooperation 7

Gu Chaoyan disclosed Huang Fu’s disappearance to Zhou Huaijin, but she refrained from mentioning the existence of the s.p.a.ce and Huang Fu’s limited ability to remain outside for extended periods.

Uncertain about how to broach the topic of the s.p.a.ce, Gu Chaoyan felt the need to wait for an appropriate moment.

Zhou Huaijin inquired, “Has something like this ever happened before?”

“To be precise, this is the first time such a thing has occurred. Normally, he is always present when I need him. However, during this period, I intended to inquire about the items he asked me to auction, but he was nowhere to be found. It’s quite baffling. I wonder what has happened,” Gu Chaoyan expressed her confusion.

She didn’t antic.i.p.ate that a few words from Huaijin could resolve her dilemma.

Nevertheless, burdened by this matter, she yearned to discuss it with someone.

“Perhaps it’s just something urgent. He is your Master, and he shouldn’t have encountered a major calamity,” Zhou Huaijin rea.s.sured her.

Zhou Huaijin, having never met her Master, struggled to offer any concrete advice.

“Is there anything that Fu Bao and the others can a.s.sist with? If there is, you can directly ask them for help,” Zhou Huaijin suggested.

“It’s alright, let’s wait a little longer. Maybe he’ll reappear tomorrow,” Gu Chaoyan replied.

Huang Fu had been in the s.p.a.ce all this time, making it challenging for Gu Chaoyan to locate him or reach out to Fu Bao and the others.

“Okay, try not to dwell on it,” Zhou Huaijin consoled her.

“I’m fine, perhaps it’s just because I haven’t had adequate rest. I’ll take a nap, and you can talk to Sword One and the others. Don’t worry,” Gu Chaoyan a.s.sured him.

Zhou Huaijin nodded and left.

Once he was gone, Gu Chaoyan returned to the s.p.a.ce.

Instinctively, she surveyed the area, but there was still no sign of anyone.

Gu Chaoyan shook her head slightly, indicating that she hadn’t found anyone in the s.p.a.ce.

Zhou Huaijin’s heart sank.

He realized that she wasn’t willing to give up so easily this time. Gu Chaoyan gazed at the misty areas, unexplored territories she had never ventured into before. Could Huang Fu be there?

She had no knowledge of what lay within those regions.

Huang Fu had once warned her against visiting those places.

But today…

She wanted to personally investigate.

Within the mist, visibility was scarce, and an icy chill pervaded the atmosphere. As she stepped forward, an intense coldness enveloped her entire being. She felt uncertain about what to do.

The urge to retreat surged within her, but she couldn’t locate an exit.

Suddenly, panic seized her.

Had she made a grave mistake?

Amidst her panic, a force pulled her back, and she caught a glimpse of a figure in a red robe. She appeared visibly surprised.

In the next moment…

A stern voice resounded, “What did I tell you? I explicitly instructed you not to enter, but you refused to listen! What would you have done if something had happened to you?”

Huang Fu snapped furiously.

His demeanor was entirely different from his usual arrogant and untamed self. He exuded a calm and strict aura.

He couldn’t fathom the consequences had he not been aware of her actions. Why didn’t she value her own safety?

Huang Fu was so furious that he couldn’t bear to look at her.

Gu Chaoyan understood that she had been impolite. This was completely out of character for her.
