C57

The upper part of the horse carriage was tightly imbedded in the wooden beam of the horse carriage. Gu Ling Xue hardened her heart, raised her long whip and accurately landed on the horse's butt.

The sound of a strong slap followed by the tragic cry of a horse was heard. The horse was even faster as it galloped, causing the horse carriage behind it to sometimes fly into the air.

Bang! After another fierce impact, the horse carriage couldn't bear the weight anymore and hit a big rock nearby.

The black-clad man behind him saw the scene unfold before him, and a cruel light flashed in his eyes. Slowly, he lowered his feet and surrounded the carriage.

Three or four circles of black clothed people surrounded the carriage, each of the swords pointed at the stationary carriage. It seemed that if the carriage moved, all the swords would pierce through it at the same time.

After waiting for a while, there was only the sound of horses galloping in the forest. The guards who had chased after them just now had long since disappeared.

Seemingly impatient from waiting, a leader among the men in black stood out and first used his sword to pick at the paralyzed carriage but still did not dare to approach it.

Based on their years of experience as killers, based on their instincts. The man in black thought that there was still no movement after a while. The people in the carriage were either waiting for an opportunity or the carriage was devoid of living beings.

Whatever it was, he couldn't wait any longer.

The first black-clothed man's hand was holding onto his sword, carefully opening the carriage's curtain, at the same time he was fully prepared behind, preventing Gu Ling Xue from suddenly attacking.

However, there was no one at all after he had opened up a gap; even after he had opened up half of it, there was still no movement.

The man in black was furious. He immediately opened the curtain, but there was nothing in front of him.

"F * ck!" The man in black could not help but shout out. He looked in the direction the horse had fled in and immediately made a decision. "It must be on the horse. Chase after it!"

At this time, the black-clothed man's footsteps had sped up another fold since he was being played around with, so it didn't take him long to see Gu Ling Xue's figure.

A yellowish figure bent over and pressed itself against the horse's back, his legs tightly clamping onto the horse's belly. He controlled himself and tried his best not to fall.

Gu Ling Xue who was initially focused on escaping suddenly heard the sound from behind, and looked behind him. And unexpectedly, Gu Ling Xue didn't have the slightest trace of panic on his face. What she had on his face was only complete confidence and a calm smile.

The black clothed man recalled the carriage that he had been toyed with a moment ago, and seeing the slightly mocking smile on Gu Ling Xue's face, he quickened his pace.

It was still unable to catch up to the mad stallion in front of it. In the midst of the black clad men, the leading man slowly raised a sword, and shot it towards Gu Ling Xue without any warning.

With a "pu" sound, the sword pierced Gu Ling Xue's arm, following which a stuffy groan sounded out. Gu Ling Xue's hands slipped and she almost fell off her horse.

As if he had tasted the sweetness, the archer's eyes were filled with excitement upon seeing Gu Ling Xue being shot. He did not hesitate to shoot the second arrow.

But what was different from before was that after the long arrow was shot out, before it could even touch Gu Ling Xue's shoulder, it actually disappeared into thin air alive.

Gu Ling Xue detected a burst of air fluctuations behind him and sensed the incoming arrow. However, before she could shoot another arrow, she was already waiting on the left and right. Gu Ling Xue could not help but look back only to realize that the arrow had disappeared.

Was it an illusion?

Gu Ling Xue continued to drive her horse forward, with the current situation not caring about her pondering.

After glancing at the road from the back, Gu Ling Xue turned around and hurried forward. Unexpectedly, the road in front of him had become blurry, and a white light and white mist mixed together to cover the original road.

"Who asked you to shoot an arrow?"

Just as the man in black was getting excited about his archery skills, another man in black grabbed the bow and arrows from the man in black and threw it to the side.

"It would be fine if you caught her, but if you don't, then someone from the upper echelons will catch hold of you and cause a commotion." The other man in black also scolded angrily, "Can you bear these?"

Ignoring the person who shot the arrow previously, the black clothed man jumped onto the treetop in an attempt to observe the shot Gu Ling Xue in front of him.

However, after the argument just now, when the black clothed man turned around, Gu Ling Xue had already disappeared.

"Where is he?" The man in black jumped down from the tree and ran two steps forward. In the chaos, his yellow figure had long since disappeared.

Helpless, the man in black had no choice but to stop and squat down to observe the blood stains that fell to the ground after being shot by the arrow.

The heart that had been hanging over the man in black slowly relaxed.

Luckily, he didn't lose it.

After the bloodstain had gone for a few hundred meters, the black clothed man suddenly discovered that the bloodstain had disappeared from the center of the road. Even the horse was nowhere to be seen.

Right in front of them was that towering cliff.

The man in black frowned and lowered his head to study the blood stain. Then, he slowly walked to the cliff and looked down. He said, "Search, if you are dead, see the corpse!"

Gu Ling Xue stood beside the black clothed man, holding onto the horse that had finally calmed down, she looked at him as though he was looking for blood, and then ordered her men to search the bottom of the cliff, she was extremely suspicious, following that she turned around to look at the gentle looking man behind him and asked: "What exactly happened?"

The man wore a silver robe and stood with his hands behind his back. The men in black seemed not to have noticed as they passed through the man.

Gu Ling Xue was a little surprised, but her Innate Sensibility told her that it was not a good thing for someone to help her without reason.

"This is my space." The silver gowned man's chin slightly lifted, his tone extremely humble yet his tone very blatant as he explained, "So you can see them, hear their words, but you can't touch them, and the people outside can't see us."

"It's just a four-dimensional space parallel to the world."

Gu Ling Xue seemed to understand, but also seemed to not understand. She opened her mouth wide, only to realize that there were too many things she wanted to ask, and did not know how to respond.

Seeing that, the silver gowned man laughed gently, his smile was as refreshing as a spring breeze to Gu Ling Xue, "Don't worry, I mean no harm."

The silver gowned man walked forward, his large hand brushed against Gu Ling Xue's shoulder, and with a light brush, the arrow that was originally firmly embedded in Gu Ling Xue's shoulder entered the man's hands: "Mn, no poison."

Returning the arrow to Gu Ling Xue's hand, the man returned to her original position and maintained a certain distance from Gu Ling Xue.

Gu Ling Xue took the arrow that was stained with her own blood, her eyebrows knitted tightly, and after studying it for a long time, she slowly said: "Is it specially used by the imperial family?"

"Heh, little girl, you've actually offended someone from the Imperial Family."

who had called out "girl" was in a bit of a daze, the figure of another person suddenly appeared in front of him. He shook his head to the side to chase the figure of the person in his heart, and then Gu Ling Xue started to carefully ponder about the meaning of the four words.

"Imperial family." Gu Ling Xue lowered his head and thought about it carefully. The image of an unruly woman with a phoenix crown on her head suddenly appeared in Gu Ling Xue's mind.

That's right, that woman!

If she could see Gu Ling Xue trading with Mu Rong Hong Yu several times, she would probably already have a gap in her heart. Today's trouble must have made her even more resentful.

"Pretty smart." The silver gowned man looked at Gu Ling Xue's face and smiled with relief. His gentle words, however, caused Gu Ling Xue to be extremely shocked.

Regardless of what he was thinking or what he was about to say, the man in front of him seemed to know everything.

"Just who are you?" Gu Ling Xue's face immediately revealed traces of wariness, and he unconsciously took two steps back. However, this unintentional action made the man smile.

"Little girl, you actually think that you can escape?" It was a hearty laugh, but it did not have any other meaning. Gu Ling Xue was very confused.

Was the man in front of him good or bad?

"Silly girl, I saved you twice. You're actually thinking whether I'm a bad person or not." That person's handsome brows trembled as he pretended to be angry and said, "He really has no conscience."

Twice?

Gu Ling Xue's vigilant body also gradually relaxed under the man's prompting. The wound on her back was still faintly hurting, only then did Gu Ling Xue remember the darts that suddenly appeared when she met a bandit when buying medicine and robbing.

At that time, he had always thought that it was Ye Qi who had saved her. However, from the various facts that had occurred, Gu Ling Xue gradually discovered that the person who helped her that day in the darkness was not Ye Qi.

To Ye Qi, he disdained using his darts. The only possibility had been overturned. At that time, Gu Ling Xue was entangled with other things, and had gradually forgotten about it. Unexpectedly, this strange man in front of him mentioned it again.

Could it be that at that time, this man had always been protecting her by his side?

"Then …" Just as the question left his mouth, the scene in front of him underwent an earth-shattering change. The originally chaotic space had now actually turned into Gu Ling Xue's courtyard.

Gu Ling Xue kept what she was about to say and looked into the sky.

Who was that man? Why had he saved her time and time again in times of crisis? What was that mysterious space?

All of these things, along with the man's departure without any forewarning, turned into a wisp of suspense that stayed in Gu Ling Xue's mind.

Gu Ling Xue strode inside the house, determined to find the answer to all of this.

"Ye Qi. Ye Qi. " Although he was reluctant to let that arrogant man appear, he was probably the only person in this world who could understand the four-dimensional world.

This time, Ye Qi did not delay any, he called out twice and appeared in front of Gu Ling Xue.

Her enchanting figure was lying on Gu Ling Xue's soft couch, playing with the droplets on the floor, waiting for Gu Ling Xue to speak.

Gu Ling Xue stood in front of the soft couch and asked: "Do you know of the fourth dimension?"
