The Seven Princesses' Journey Across Time

Ye Dingzhi looked at the horse, then at Baili Dongjun. Li Changsheng blew on his hands and said, "I painted it on."

The horse was startled and broke into a run. Baili Dongjun helplessly called out, "Master."

Li Changsheng smiled and said, "White clothes, white hair and a white horse, this is the true appearance of an immortal. I am a banished immortal, how can I bow down and serve the mortal world? Hahahaha..."

Before long, they arrived at a quiet and peaceful place. Looking up, they saw a small, exquisite house standing in front of them. The surrounding peach trees were in full bloom, and pink petals fluttered down like snowflakes, decorating the place like a fairyland, magnificent and otherworldly.

From a distance, one could clearly see two figures standing in the courtyard, resembling immortals. Baili Dongjun spotted the man with silver hair and instantly rushed towards him like an arrow, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Master!"

Seeing this, the white-haired man smiled faintly and then slowly opened his arms, as if to welcome Baili Dongjun. His eyes were filled with endless kindness and love. When Baili Dongjun rushed over like lightning, he gently raised his hand and gently patted Baili Dongjun's shoulder. Then, with a smile, he said, "Little Dongjun, long time no see."

At this moment, Baili Dongjun's eyes were already filled with tears. Tears welled up in his eyes. He said with a slightly choked voice, "Master, I have been worried about you... It's great to see that you are safe and sound. Thank you for still being here."

The woman standing nearby gazed quietly at everyone present with her gentle, watery gaze. Then, softly, she said, "Please come in! I've already prepared a sumptuous feast, just for you." With that, everyone filed into the poetic courtyard. Looking closely, they saw a carved stone table laden with a variety of exquisite dishes and fragrant wines.

Everyone sat down around the stone table. Baili Dongjun seemed particularly excited, and he began to talk non-stop about the various strange stories he had experienced along the way. Ye Dingzhi, sitting nearby, looked around with great curiosity. This place seemed completely isolated from the outside world. Without the hustle and bustle of the world, there was only an enchanting tranquility and peace.

After drinking to their heart's content, Li Changsheng slowly stood up, bowed and said goodbye to the two men, "We have drunk enough. My disciple and I are about to leave. I wonder if you two plan to live here permanently in the future?" After saying that, he looked around and saw that this place was surrounded by green mountains and clear waters. The scenery was pleasant indeed, but it was too close to the prosperous and bustling Tianqi City.

Gu Chen naturally understood the deep meaning in Li Changsheng's words and smiled slightly in response, "As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is often the safest place, just like the saying 'the darkest place is the darkest place'. Besides, everyone knows that Gu Chen has died, so no one would have thought that I would be hiding here."

Li Changsheng nodded in understanding, and continued, "This time, my master and I will be heading to Xueyue City, and your savior happens to be in the city. If you find your life boring, you can come to Xueyue City to chat with us. We will definitely welcome you!"

At this moment, Baili Dongjun suddenly interrupted, "Hey, Master, are you confused? You're not the Lord of Xueyue City, so how can you take Master and the others in?"

Li Changsheng raised his chin slightly, with a look of unconcealable pride on his face, and said, "Humph! Who am I? I am the number one in the world, Li Changsheng! For such a small matter, I naturally have the final say."

Baili Dongjun, who was standing next to him, heard this and said perfunctorily: "Yes, yes, you are really amazing! Who else in this world can compare to you?" After saying that, he did not forget to nod repeatedly at Li Changsheng.

Then, Baili Dongjun quickly turned around, his gaze sweeping over Gu Chen and Yue Luo in turn, and he spoke enthusiastically, "Master and Madam, in my opinion, why don't you both head to Xueyue City? That way, we can see each other more often in the future."

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen didn't respond immediately. Instead, he slowly turned his head and cast his gaze towards Yueluo beside him. His eyes seemed to hold a questioning tone, as if waiting for Yueluo to express her thoughts. Yueluo, in turn, smiled at Gu Chen, a smile as warm and gentle as the spring sun, warming one's heart. She whispered, "I'll follow your instructions wherever we go. As long as I can be with you, anywhere is home for me."

Li Changsheng, Baili Dongjun and Ye Dingzhi, who were standing aside, looked at the loving scene in front of them and suddenly felt inexplicably depressed. They even felt as if they were force-fed and could not help but mutter to themselves.

At this time, Gu Chen cleared his throat, breaking the awkward silence, and said, "In that case, let's wait for some time before setting off. We won't go with you, so as not to attract too much attention and cause unnecessary trouble."

Li Changsheng looked at everyone with a smile and said slowly: "Then we will wait for you in Xueyue City." After that, he turned around gracefully and walked slowly towards the carriage with steady steps.

At this moment, Baili Dongjun stood there, his gaze still fixed on Gu Chen, a hint of longing and reluctance in his eyes. Li Changsheng noticed no movement behind him and shook his head helplessly. Then, turning sharply, he rolled his eyes at the still-dazed Baili Dongjun and shouted, "Let's go! Stop dawdling! It's not like we'll never see each other again. Why act so reluctant?"

Li Changsheng's shout brought Baili Dongjun back to his senses, as if waking from a dream. He scratched his head sheepishly, then quickly turned around and galloped towards the carriage with Ye Dingzhi beside him. When they approached the carriage, they both stopped in unison, first respectfully bowing to Gu Chen and Yue Luo, and then nimbly leaped onto the carriage.

Gu Chen quietly watched the carriage disappear into the night, a wave of emotion welling up in his heart. He tilted his head slightly, his gaze gently falling on Yueluo beside him.
