Each world be

A young girl sat in front of a bronze mirror in the room. She was wearing a bright red wedding dress with a pair of exquisite mandarin duck patterns embroidered on it with gold thread. The hem of her skirt was beautifully spread on the ground.

In front of the bronze mirror, the girl had dark eyebrows and a pair of almond-shaped eyes with upward eyeliner, and the corners of her eyes were slightly red with a hint of charm that was not usually seen.

The maid at the side stared at the girl with snowy skin and red lips in a trance, praising her sincerely: "Miss Lin is so beautiful, the leader will be amazed when he sees her!"

Looking at the white gardenia hairpin on the table, Shi Qing lowered her eyebrows and said, "You go down first. I'll be alone for a while. Come in when the time comes."

"Yes." The maid bowed and walked out of the room.

Shi Qing stared at an exquisite green wine jug on the table with an unclear expression.

She lightly picked up the gardenia hairpin on the dressing table with her bare hands and inserted it abruptly into the gold bead hairpin.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a sound of something falling outside the door.

Shi Qing's face darkened and he stood up suddenly and walked towards the door.

Before she could open the door, it was opened and quickly closed by a man in black, dragging someone in his hand. It was the maid from before.

"you……"

Before he could finish his words, Shi Qing was covered with his hand by the man's mouth, so he had to use his hands and feet to beat the strange man.

Just as he was resisting, a low voice sounded above his head: "Ah Qing, it's me."

Hearing the familiar voice, Shi Qing stopped struggling and looked up at the man.

He has an ordinary face, but a pair of narrow and affectionate eyes.

This is... Gu Xiao?

Seeing the girl quiet down, Gu Xiao let go of her hand and visibly breathed a sigh of relief, "Ah Qing, I finally found you."

"Gu Xiao? Is it really you?" The girl's eyebrows were full of surprise, and her almond-shaped eyes seemed to be filled with stars in an instant.

Looking at the girl's instantly bright expression, Gu Xiao chuckled, "It's me, I came to find you."

Shi Qing in front of him was wearing a wedding dress and had pearl hairpins all over her head. If he had come a step later, she would have married someone else.

Gu Xiao's tense mood after more than ten days suddenly relaxed. Fortunately, he caught up.

These days, he was immersed in anxiety and guilt all the time.

After smelling the fragrance of gardenia that night, he rushed to Ming County overnight to find Lu Ziyin.

Although gardenias are easy to grow, Gu Xiao has been traveling around the world for many years and has almost never seen anyone grow one.

Moreover, this flower grows best in acidic soil, and obviously, the area east of Lizhou City is not suitable for planting.

Ever since he met Shi Qing, she had been carrying the scent of gardenia.

Lu Ziyin travels around collecting herbs all year round and has seen all kinds of plants, so he must know where gardenias are popular.

Finally, after Lu Ziyin's guesses and speculations, he found the remote Loushan Mountain. There were indeed tracts of gardenia trees near Loushan Mountain.

"How did you find me?" the girl asked, then frowned, "Gu Xiao, leave quickly, it will be bad if someone finds you later."

Gu Xiao's face turned cold, "Ah Qing, let's go together."

The girl looked worried and hesitant, "But..."

Gu Xiao opened his thin lips and said in a low voice, "Are you going to marry Shen Yan?"

His narrow eyes seemed to be dyed with a deep black color, staring at her without blinking, with an unfathomable expression on his face.

"Of course not, the only person I want to marry is you, Gu Xiao. But, aren't you afraid that Shen Yan will be on guard just by barging in like this?" Shi Qing looked at him lovingly, his clear eyes reflecting his frosty face.

The girl's soft and tender voice was more alluring than usual.

Gu Xiao was stunned for half a second, and then said softly, "Ah Qing, don't worry about these. I will definitely take you out even if it means going through mountains of swords and seas of fire."

After staring at him for a moment, the girl finally nodded slowly, "Okay."

Without saying much, Gu Xiao made the maid lying on the ground lie on the dressing table, changed her into a red wedding dress, and covered her head tightly with a veil.

The maid had a slender figure and looked a bit like Shi Qing from a distance.

Here, for fear that the pearl hairpins on her head would make noises due to the collision, Shi Qing had already pulled off most of her head ornaments and threw them into the drawer.

Suddenly, a series of footsteps approached the door slowly. The footsteps were light, and they sounded like a woman's. "Miss Lin, the auspicious time has arrived."

Gu Xiao and Shi Qing looked at each other and ran towards the window tacitly.

Shi Qing's house was on the second floor, but it was not very high, so Gu Xiao jumped down first without hesitation.

He raised his head and opened his arms, signaling Shi Qing.

Seeing no one responded, the maid waited for a moment and then repeated it.

Shi Qing's movements were somewhat hampered by the fact that she had not had time to take off her cumbersome wedding dress. Although she was a little afraid that he would not be able to catch her, she still bit her lip and jumped down.

Gu Xiao held her with his strong arms and took a half step back due to inertia before he could steady himself.

"Go this way." Holding her hand tightly, Gu Xiao walked forward quickly.

Outside the room, the maid suddenly felt uneasy and pushed open the door.

All I saw was a person lying on the dressing table, eerily quiet.

The maid ran over and lifted the veil. Her face suddenly changed. "Hurry up, someone! The bride is missing!"

The terrain of the cult's center is complex, like a maze, and the cult is strictly guarded, with patrols everywhere.

The two men were pressed against a wall. Several guards with spears in their hands hurriedly ran past not far away and did not see them.

Gu Xiao carefully poked his head out and saw a man in black speaking to them in a serious tone at the corner of the stone.

While they were not paying attention, Gu Xiao pulled Shi Qing and ran behind a rock.

Gu Xiao looked coldly and noticed the increasing number of guards.

It seems that Shen Yan discovered that Shi Qing was missing.

There were many people patrolling and standing guard in front of the Demon Cult. Without hesitation, Gu Xiao pulled Shi Qing and ran towards the back mountain.

Just when they knocked down the two guards at the back mountain, a large group of men in black suddenly jumped out from the bushes at the back mountain, each holding a big knife, and blocked the way ahead aggressively.

At the back, the members of the Demon Cult also surrounded them, leaving them with no way to go.

At this time, Shen Yan, dressed in a fiery red wedding dress, slowly walked out of the crowd. A smile hung on his handsome face, but his clear eyes were cold as ice. He looked deeply at the person in the crowd, "Ah Qing, where are you going?"

When Shi Qing saw Shen Yan appear, his face instantly turned cold and he looked up at Shen Yan without saying a word.

As if sensing her uneasiness, Gu Xiao glanced at her and smiled to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, I will take you away."

Looking at the two people holding hands, Shen Yan narrowed his eyes and sneered: "Now the people in front and behind are mine, I want to see how you can escape."

Receiving Shen Yan's gaze, the muscular man next to him grinned, "Go!"

This person is Wei Hu.

Because Shen Yi let Shi Qing go in Lizhou City, he was sent out on a mission by Shen Yan and has not returned yet.

As soon as the order was given, the members of the Demon Cult swarmed forward.

Gu Xiao pulled Shi Qing to avoid the chopping knife and kicked him away.

Seeing that one of his hands was restricted in movement, Shi Qing said coldly: "Gu Xiao, let me go, I can help you!"

As he spoke, Shi Qing punched the person in the face, knocking him down instantly.

Gu Xiao heard this and let go of his hand, "Follow me closely!"

Bending down to avoid the attack, Gu Xiao drew the sword on his back and slashed at them mercilessly.

Shi Qing followed him closely and twisted a man's wrist. The enemy felt pain, loosened his grip, and the knife fell to the ground.

Shi Qing's expression lit up with joy. He pushed the man away and quickly picked up the knife on the ground.

"Be careful!" Gu Xiao stabbed the black-clothed men around him with a sword, and turned around to see a man who was about to attack Shi Qing who was picking up the knife.

Sensing the danger, she rolled on the ground, and suddenly a knife was stuck in the place where she was just now, and the enemy turned his head and glared at her fiercely.

Seeing this scene from afar, Shen Yan's expression froze, and the corners of his mouth curved into a smile.

Wei Hu was watching Gu Xiao fighting with great interest, feeling a sense of pleasure in his heart.

Suddenly, the man next to him flew out.
