"Let's go."
Gu Sheng flicked the Blood Pearl off his sword, and suddenly furrowed his brow.
"Someone's coming."
At the cave entrance, two shadows stood against the light.
Gu Sheng and Ling Xiao, stepped slowly towards the entrance.
The outside light spilled through the narrow entrance, casting dappled shadows on the ground.
Gu Sheng spoke softly, his voice laced with amusement.
"Remember our plan."
Ling Xiao pressed his lips together and nodded.
Yet, for some reason, every time he saw Gu Sheng's eyes, as deep as ancient wells, the unease in his heart inexplicably calmed down.
As the two stepped out of the cave, two silhouettes flashed from the sides, blocking their path.
"Well, isn't it Junior Brother Gu and Ling Xiao?"
Ke Yucheng's sharp, thin face held a mocking smile, and his eyes glinted with greed.
"What, planning to sneak away?"
Tang Zhiyuan stood slightly behind, his gaze somberly assessing them.
