"The two who initially followed Gu Zhiqing have already been hacked to death by chaotic blades, and of the small team of fifteen sent later, only one has returned. There's no news of the others," Bing Yun reported directly. "When our group goes out on a mission, we have a rule: send a message back every two hours or leave marks along the way. But that team has been gone for sixteen hours, out of contact for the last six, and there are no marks on their path."
Zuo Xiangning's heart instantly chilled considerably.
If all the people dispatched by Gu Zhiqing had perished, then Gu Zhiqing, with someone to respond to his needs, could have already covered several hundred li in the past six hours.
That night, Zuo Xiangning did not sleep well.
If they couldn't capture Gu Zhiqing, then he would become a knife hanging over her head, possibly falling at any moment.
Living in such constant unease would make every day feel like a year.
