Chapter 1766 - 1372: Two Pursuing Parties!

After Gu Changsheng’s carriage departed from the guesthouse, about an hour had passed when Borjigin Nian suddenly slapped his forehead, remembering something. He hastily whipped his horse and chased in the direction Gu Changsheng had left...

Northwest of Yanmen Pass, a sizable carriage pulled by eight sweat-blood precious horses attracted much attention. Even in the Northern Mongolian region, renowned for breeding fine steeds, these horses were one in a million. The coachman was even more eye-catching, round and jovial!

The carriage was exceptionally spacious, specifically customized by Gu Changsheng. Inside, Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu were resting with their eyes closed, while in the rear compartment lay a coffin!

No matter where Gu Changsheng went, that coffin never left his side. Even though he had reached a tacit understanding with Fufeng Tianlan, agreeing not to clash until the key from the Divine Demise Land appeared, Gu Changsheng was still uneasy about letting the Dark Night Army transport his parents’ coffin to the Royal City!

It’s better to keep it by her side; that makes her feel a little more at ease!

Yuan Bao was acting as the coachman, driving the carriage smoothly, when suddenly, a deep voice emanated from within the carriage!

"Yuan Bao, stop the carriage and wait!"

Yuan Bao, upon hearing this, naturally paused without a second thought, pulling the reins and stopping the carriage. As he lifted the curtain, his round face was full of confusion, "Madam, Master, what are we waiting for? I’ve just looked around, and there’s only the breeze and the grass swaying. There are no people, and no one is following us!"

Zhou Mu heard this and a trace of helplessness flashed across his divine-like face, "I’ve told you to focus on martial arts, but you never listen. Besides caring about food, what else are you concerned with?"

"I care about Master and Madam!" Yuan Bao replied without hesitation.

"Therefore, it’s no surprise you can’t detect anyone following us!" Zhou Mu coldly remarked.

Yuan Bao, upon hearing this, awkwardly rubbed his nose and couldn’t help but mutter, "Is it my fault? Is this my fault? I’m just a little eunuch; I’m not a sword-wielding guard. It’s not that I’m slow to progress; it’s clearly that you two are advancing too quickly..."

"Haha..." Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but laugh at Yuan Bao’s disgruntled yet submissive expression.

Yuan Bao has always been so endearing. She likes him because of his carefree demeanor, which Gu Changsheng finds enviable!

"It’s only because you are a eunuch without any other skills that we don’t want to take you along. Look at you; apart from adding some extra weight to my precious horses, what else can you do?" Gu Changsheng teasingly looked at Yuan Bao, ridiculing, "You want to be a sword-bearing guard, but you need that ability first!"

"I can drive the carriage!" Yuan Bao immediately raised the whip in his hand, speaking with self-assuredness.

Knowing that Master and Madam were headed alone to the Tashi Tribe, Yuan Bao once again used his knack for pestering, stubbornly insisting on coming along!

He had already lost track of Master and Madam several times; this time, he swore he wouldn’t let them get away!

Gu Changsheng, hearing this, slightly curled her lips and pointed to the eight horses pulling the carriage, "My sweat-blood gu horses, produced by the Three Palaces Peak of Southern Border, don’t even need someone to drive them. You, waving a whip at them, might just be getting cursed in their hearts!"

Gu Changsheng spoke the truth. Her traveling horses were naturally not ordinary. Plus, she was pressed for time, and these sweat-blood gu horses were even faster than regular sweat-blood precious horses, needing no driver. Only Yuan Bao’s persistent insistence made her take him along!

"Madam, don’t be like that; it’s quite disheartening. Is it not fine if I don’t whip them anymore? I just feel idle with nothing to do and can’t resist swinging the whip while sitting in the carriage..." Yuan Bao, hearing this, was immediately teary-eyed.

Wasn’t it boring sitting alone on the carriage shaft?

With no one to talk to or chat with!

The carriage stood on the grassland, and as the three talked, some time had already passed. Yuan Bao looked around but still saw no one coming and couldn’t help asking again, "Master, Madam, what exactly are we waiting for? Really, no one’s here!"

"Almost caught up!" Gu Changsheng murmured.

Just as Gu Changsheng’s words fell, sitting on the shaft, Yuan Bao lifted the curtain with one hand while pointing to the distance with the other, stammering, "Really! Really! There’s a carriage coming straight towards us!"

A carriage was approaching them, directly chasing after them!

When it drew closer, Yuan Bao saw the driver clearly, and his round face couldn’t help but turn sour, "Why is it them? So persistent, aren’t they!"

That driver Yuan Bao had seen before, dressed entirely in black; one knows what kind of master he serves just by looking at the servant. It was none other than Shi Wujue’s difficult subordinate!

Not to mention Shi Wujue’s difficult subordinates, even the sinister Shi Wujue himself, in Yuan Bao’s view, was hard to deal with. Especially since Shi Wujue harbored improper thoughts towards his master’s woman, Yuan Bao had significant prejudice against Shi Wujue, considerable prejudice!

If it weren’t for Shi Wujue’s repeated rescues of his Madam and Master, Yuan Bao would have flipped out!

A troublemaker indeed!

That’s really a troublemaker!

This man who constantly dreams of stealing his master’s partner, how shamelessly follows them? No sense of shame? Doesn’t know that a friend’s wife shouldn’t be pursued?

While Yuan Bao was internally cursing, Duo Shu was already driving his carriage alongside Gu Changsheng’s!

Almost simultaneously, both carriage curtains were lifted, and Shi Wujue leaned in the carriage, glancing over at Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu.

"You’re cheating! These Southern Border gu horses are really fast!" Shi Wujue, with a face that astounds the world, wore an expression full of complaints.

"Your Sweat-Blood Precious Horse sure has some speed!" Gu Changsheng tilted his head, glanced at the horse pulling Shi Wujue’s carriage, and laughed.

Shi Wujue responded with a chuckle, glanced back at the carriage, and raised an eyebrow at Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu, "Should we wait a bit?"

Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu glanced backward, pondered for a moment, and nodded, "Let’s wait. We don’t know why she’s chasing after us so eagerly; maybe there’s something important!"

The three in the carriage were Primordial Transformative Realm experts, and even from a far distance, they could hear any wind or grass movement clearly!

Even Duo Shu, the coachman, had a knowing expression!

Yet, while they understood, Yuan Bao was completely clueless!

"What’s all this chatter about? I don’t understand anything!" Yuan Bao leaned into the carriage to speak with his lady and master, "Why is this person so thick-skinned? Are we really letting him come with us? Didn’t we say we have important business at the Tashi Tribe? Why bring them along? That Linyuan City’s Lord looks sickly..."

"They’re tagging along now; if you’re brave enough, you chase them away," Gu Changsheng replied, giving Yuan Bao a sideways glance.

Faced with Gu Changsheng’s words, Yuan Bao immediately fell silent.

Chase them away?

Chase away Shi Wujue?

What a joke!

He had been finding his master’s rival unpleasant for quite some time, but Shi Wujue’s strength was undeniable; even if Yuan Bao disliked him, he didn’t dare cause trouble in front of Shi Wujue. At most, he would complain to his lady!

Indeed, even with the two carriages not far apart, Yuan Bao’s words couldn’t escape Shi Wujue’s ears. Shi Wujue was indifferent, continuing to whisper with Zhou Mu, yet one of his dark-dressed subordinates shot Yuan Bao a fierce look!

As long as it’s not Shi Wujue, Yuan Bao didn’t care!

"Staring? Why stare at me? Want a face-off?" Yuan Bao glared back immediately.

"Hmph!" Duo Shu snorted coldly, unwilling to argue with Yuan Bao.

"Hmph what? Are you acting like a pig?" Yuan Bao, always bullying the weak, pettily added, seeing Duo Shu ignore him, couldn’t help complaining, "Dressed all in black, so ugly! What’s up with that taste?"

Shi Wujue also loved wearing black silk garments...

So did his subordinates...

Zhou Mu, busy discussing the route to the Tashi Tribe with Shi Wujue, sighed helplessly upon hearing Yuan Bao’s comments.

Shi Wujue also looked over at Yuan Bao, narrowing his eyes slightly and smiling.

Receiving Shi Wujue’s smile, Yuan Bao shivered, quickly clamping his mouth shut, afraid to speak; Shi Wujue had the same intimidating presence as his master, quite terrifying!

"Looks quite charming, your personality too; no wonder the Beauty likes you..." Shi Wujue chuckled at Yuan Bao.

Zhou Mu nodded, and the two continued discussing the route, oblivious to everything around them.

Meanwhile, Yuan Bao felt quite lost.

What did he mean by "looks quite charming" or "personality quite charming"?

Who was Shi Wujue to decide if he was charming or not?

"Lady, did you hear? He called me ugly!" Yuan Bao immediately complained to the meditating Gu Changsheng.

"I have ears and I’m not deaf; he wasn’t calling you ugly, he was clearly complimenting you!" Gu Changsheng opened her eyes and said without a hint of interest.

"Who’s asking for his compliments? He’s being a Yellow Weasel sending greetings to a chicken, clearly up to no good!" Yuan Bao retorted, doing his utmost to smear Shi Wujue.

"Alright, enough of that; he hasn’t offended you!" Gu Changsheng shook her head.

"I..."

Yuan Bao was about to speak when a loud shout came from afar.

"Gu Changsheng! Brothers! Wait up! Please wait for me!"

Before seeing her, the voice was heard; it could only be Borjigin Nian!

This woman from the grasslands had quite the powerful voice, nearly startling Gu Changsheng’s horse...
