Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 64 Luan Bird Qingfeng

In front of the great wizard statue, there was a small box about the size of a palm. Gu Qingyue examined it and, finding no danger, reached out her hand.

The moment she opened it, the little fox behind her suddenly squeaked. Hearing the fox's cry, Gu Qingyue quickly looked down, and a chill swept over her head. Unhurriedly, Gu Qingyue grabbed the small box and immediately darted to the side.

In an instant, a short arrow pierced the stone wall behind the statue, and at the same time, a large amount of porcelain outside collapsed with a crash.

Despicable! Which bastard is shooting at us from the shadows!

Before Gu Qingyue could run out of the secret room, a slender figure flew in, wielding a long sword, which was barely blocked by Gu Qingyue's dagger.

In the blink of an eye, a small, fiery red ball of fluff flew by.

A line of blood immediately shot out from the person's arm.

"Ah------" A scream echoed through the secret chamber.

A woman? Gu Qingyue composed herself, and when she saw the person in front of her clearly, wasn't this the Nanzhao woman she had just painted that morning?

The woman crossed her arms and took a few steps back, shouting, "Hua Hong, you're asking for it! You dare hurt me!"

Hua Hong? Who? Little Fox? What an old-fashioned name!

The little fox squeaked twice and jumped proudly onto Gu Qingyue's shoulder. Its fluffy red fur brushed against Gu Qingyue's cheek, tickling her. Gu Qingyue pinched the little guy's paw, then reached out and pulled it off, holding it in her arms.

"You! Who are you? What are you doing here?" the woman shouted angrily.

"Uh... just passing by," Gu Qingyue said, before swiftly closing in and slashing the other man's other arm with her dagger.

"Ah------You're asking for death!" The woman's scream was so shrill that Gu Qingyue felt like she might go deaf.

With a whoosh, the woman lashed out a soft whip from her waist. Her whipping technique was extremely fierce and agile. After dozens of moves, Gu Qingyue pulled up her sleeve. She had just been whipped on the arm while trying to save the little fox that almost slipped out of her arms, and blood was flowing freely.

But Gu Qingyue didn't even blink. She tucked the little fox closer to her chest, composed herself, and went to meet it again.

This woman is quite skilled in martial arts; it seems he was injured because she and the little fox had ambushed him.

However, she couldn't continue fighting like this. She was using a short dagger, while her opponent had a long whip. Although it was difficult to swing it in this small space, she couldn't use her own dagger at all and couldn't get close. In addition, she also had to be distracted by protecting the little fox, so she had to retreat first.

At the very least, the little fox must be placed in a safe place.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Qingyue took advantage of the standoff between the two to release her spiritual power and listen to the commotion outside the treasure vault. It seemed that seven or eight people were already rushing towards them.

Knowing she couldn't fight back, Gu Qingyue sprinkled some medicinal powder. The woman opposite her froze, quickly covering her mouth and nose, but it was clearly too late.

"You..." After a few breaths, the woman swayed and became unsteady on her feet, but she still swung the whip with great force. Damn it, wasn't she afraid of being drugged?

This was found in Tiger Peak Village. She specifically asked that young bandit, oh no, Gu Chao, for it. How could it be so weak?

Without hesitation, Gu Qingyue grabbed the little fox and quickly fled.

After running for nearly fifteen minutes with the little fox in her arms, Gu Qingyue finally stopped in a relatively small cave. She hadn't realized it before, but now she felt like she might have entered a place called the Spider Cave.

I don't know if it was formed naturally or built by someone, it's really too bizarre!

She had only run a short distance when she saw at least eight or nine holes in front of her. If she weren't in a hurry and afraid of losing the little fox she had just caught, she would have preferred to turn around and face the woman. She really didn't want to enter this perverted "maze".

But having no other choice, for the sake of the little fox, they had to take a gamble. Now they were trapped in a small cave, surrounded by cave entrances of all sizes, and they had no idea what was inside.

Gu Qingyue plopped down on the ground and touched the soft, warm little bundle in her arms. Thank goodness, it wasn't lost; at least she had gotten the Red Fox.

The little fox felt Gu Qingyue's hand, poked its head out from her bosom, and stared at Gu Qingyue with eager eyes, its gaze even carrying a hint of joy.

Gu Qingyue found it somewhat amusing and picked it up to face it.

"Tell me, why did you make me take that box?" As she spoke, Gu Qingyue took the small box she had taken from in front of the great wizard statue from her bosom.

She placed the little fox on her lap, took out a tinderbox, opened the box, and inside, on a blue satin base, lay a translucent jade clasp. Gu Qingyue's pupils constricted.

This is! !

Isn't this the jade buckle from her past life?!

He picked it up and examined it carefully. It looked exactly the same as in his previous life, except that this jade clasp had no patterns or designs. Could it be...?

The jade buckle from her previous life was half arched and half smooth, like a jade bracelet split open horizontally. Could this jade buckle be the other half?

Gu Qingyue imagined the phoenix jade buckle from her previous life in her mind, and then looked at the one in front of her. Her heart started pounding. Could this jade buckle be the other half that had been cut off?

Suddenly, she felt the jade clasp in her hand getting slightly hot. Gu Qingyue quickly put the jade clasp in the box and looked at her hand. Her arm had just been injured and was still bleeding, and the jade clasp had also gotten some blood on it.

Could fever be related to one's blood?

Gu Qingyue shook her head self-deprecatingly. How could she be so lucky as to find the other half of the jade buckle so easily?

While she was thinking, the little fox on her lap suddenly jumped into the box, arching its small body and pawing at the jade clasp with its little paws. It would also turn around from time to time to look at her with its wet eyes. Gu Qingyue understood, quickly tore off a piece of her sleeve, wiped her hands, and picked up the jade clasp.

Suddenly, Gu Qingyue froze. What did she see?

On the small, arched surface of the jade buckle, fine lines began to appear, seeping with his own blood. These tiny blood-red lines seemed to possess a life of their own, continuing to extend…

After half a cup of tea, the pattern of the blood-red mark appeared clearly before Gu Qingyue's eyes: it was a lifelike blue phoenix pattern.

Luan bird and Azure Phoenix! Luan bird... Azure Phoenix!

She remembered that her grandfather said the jade buckle originally had another name, but it had been passed down through generations and no one remembered it anymore. At that time, based on the pattern, the jade buckle was called the Luan Bird Jade Buckle. So, this is the other half that was lost.

Before Gu Qingyue could even feel excited, she suddenly felt dizzy, her vision went black, and she collapsed.

The little cave, which had been rustling just moments before, suddenly fell into a deathly silence.

It felt like an entire century had passed.

Gu Qingyue opened her eyes groggily.

It opened and closed, closed and opened again.

What did Gu Qingyue see?

That was her bed, her room, the mountain villa she had longed to live in during her past life!

She's back! She's back again?

Gu Qingyue was incredulous. She closed her eyes, took deep breaths, and opened them again. She was really back!

An overwhelming joy instantly overwhelmed her.

She lay quietly on the bed, letting her mind wander, pondering the bizarre and unbelievable situation before her.

Was I dreaming all these past six months in the Great Chu?

If it wasn't a dream, then how did I suddenly come back?

Jade buckle!

Gu Qingyue sat up abruptly, wanting to see where the jade buckle was.

As soon as she sat up, she realized something was wrong.

She was still wearing that blue robe!

This was given to her by Gu Chao. When she left Tiger Peak Village, her clothes were already covered in sticky blood. When she received this long robe, she sighed and thought that the things of the rich were really good.

So how come he's still wearing those clothes?

Raise your wrist, and the jade clasp mark is still there.
