1935 Change 3

Gu Chaoyan was caught in a state of indecision. The sudden turn of events left her uncertain about what to do. She knew she had to go to the Yuehua Continent, but going alone would undoubtedly worry Zhou Huaijin. She found herself torn between her responsibilities and her concern for her loved one.

Upon hearing Zhou Huaijin’s understanding response, Gu Chaoyan felt a sense of rea.s.surance. She tightly held his hands, stood on her tiptoes, and planted a gentle kiss on his cheek. “Wait for me here. I’ll return before you know it.”

“Okay,” Zhou Huaijin replied, his voice filled with both longing and concern.

Reluctantly, the couple bid farewell, their hearts heavy with reluctance.

Suddenly, an agitated figure rushed in, demanding answers. “What is happening? Why are we trapped in Haitian Market? What about the people at our Piaomiao Pavilion who are left behind?”

It was Zhao Wuhuai who voiced his grievances, directing his questions at Duan Feng.

As the Misty Pavilion’s Pavilion Master, he was well aware of the situation and was making a scene to pressure Duan Feng into providing an explanation.

“As you can see, we are unable to leave at the moment,” Duan Feng replied calmly. “With the barrier in place, I believe the Pavilion Master of the Ethereal Pavilion should be prepared for the impending events.”

Zhao Wuhuai scoffed dismissively, clearly dissatisfied with the response.

He had made preparations.

However…

“Something has occurred in Haitian Market. Are you going to provide us with an explanation?” Zhao Wuhuai’s voice echoed loudly, gaining support from the growing crowd.

Duan Feng’s expression soured.

He had not antic.i.p.ated that Zhao Wuhuai would be audacious enough to try and seize control of Haitian Market. But that was simply not going to happen.

Duan Feng extended his hand, his face serious as he a.s.serted, “Haitian Market has its own set of rules. If you instigate trouble here, you must abide by those rules.”

Silence fell, and no one uttered another word.

Zhao Wuhuai appeared embarra.s.sed, his bravado fading.

Duan Feng motioned for Gu Chaoyan and the others to join him.

The transportation to the Yuehua Continent had to be done swiftly. Duan Feng couldn’t leave his master and the affairs of the market unattended. Thus, he needed to arrange for the others in Haitian Market to be transported there together.

As he journeyed, he contemplated whom he should enlist for a.s.sistance.

He enlisted Li Mu to accompany them. Li Mu possessed formidable cultivation and displayed intelligence, making him a reliable choice in case of any unexpected situations.

After informing Li Mu of the plan, Duan Feng selected the designated location for their teleportation.

Li Mu responded confidently, “Don’t worry.”

Gu Chaoyan glanced at Zhou Huaijin, concerned that he might worry about her in his absence.

Observing her solemn nod, Zhou Huaijin felt somewhat rea.s.sured.

Taking hold of the authority token, Gu Chaoyan initiated its activation. As she did, a doorway illuminated with radiant light materialized. Walking towards the door, Gu Chaoyan cast a final glance at Zhou Huaijin, who continued nodding in her direction.

Then…

She and Li Mu stepped through the doorway simultaneously.

In an instant, the light vanished, and so did they.
