Chapter 388
Just as Gu Chen's group split into three groups and began to move, a carriage had just stopped outside the True Martial Academy.
An elegant woman got off the carriage with the help of a pretty servant girl. Beside her was an average-looking female guard with a slightly cold expression on her face.
The three of them entered the academy together. On the way, the female guard was vigilant of her surroundings.
"Miss Yang, this is the academy. Don't be too nervous, or it will easily arouse suspicion."
The woman said calmly. Hearing this, Yang Zhen realized that she had overreacted and shook her head with a bitter smile.
"Madam is right. I've been a little paranoid these past few days."
As a former Golden Assassin of the Celestial Court, Yang Zhen was originally very good at disguising herself. However, ever since the Tyrant made a scene at the coronation ceremony of the new emperor and was wanted by the entire continent, she had become particularly nervous.
The situation had changed. With the return of the Tyrant, the situation had become more difficult than when the Celestial Court had just been destroyed. Her task as a guard had become even more important.
"Thank you, Miss Yang, for the past six months. The Celestial Court is gone, but you've always been by my side and Little Qiu's side." Shen Yu Shu sighed.
"Madam, you don't have to be so courteous. I've benefited a lot from following you."
Yang Zhen quickly said.
In the beginning, she only acted as a guard by his mother's side to befriend Gu Daozi. However, after getting along with her for the past six months, she gradually respected her.
This woman was a legend in her eyes. Although she was unarmed, she was knowledgeable and knowledgeable.
In the past, she thought that the scholarly Confucian scholars were useless and that they would be doomed if they encountered an enemy. However, ever since she saw Madam Gu subduing a terrifying demon beast with the Sage's Words in a certain mountain, she was shocked and changed her view.
Now, she followed Shen Yu Shu not only because of the Tyrant's request, but also because of her subconscious decision.
"Madam, why did we come to the True Martial Academy? There are so many people here. It would be bad if we were discovered."
Little Qiu said softly from the side with a worried expression.
Ever since she saw her young master's wanted order in the city where they stayed yesterday, she had lost her former innocence.
"Little Qiu, didn't you say yesterday that you were afraid that Young Master would be alone and helpless and wanted to go find him?"
Shen Yu Shu smiled.
"That's right. Young Master is now wanted by the whole world. The whole world wants to bully him. He must be having a hard time. Little Qiu is so worried about him."
Little Qiu murmured with reddened eyes. "It's just that Little Qiu doesn't know anything and can't help Young Master at all."
"We came to the True Martial Academy to find a helper for the young master."
Shen Yu Shu gently rubbed Little Qiu's head.
…
Ye Qingshuang stayed in her room, trying to get rid of all the distracting thoughts and cultivate.
But no matter how she tried, a man's face would constantly appear in her mind, causing her to feel uneasy and greatly reducing the efficiency of her cultivation.
This situation had been going on for many days, ever since she saw Huangfu Wuji's ascension ceremony through the Water Mirror Stone.
During the enthronement ceremony, the young man declared war on the new emperor, declared war on the entire world. His courage was deeply imprinted in her heart.
She thought he was already dead, and her heart was slowly accepting this reality. But she didn't expect that he would unexpectedly return, just like the most indomitable hero in her dreams.
"What's going on …"
Ye Qingshuang was distraught. Since that day, she couldn't cultivate seriously anymore.
In the past six months, she had finally stepped into the King Realm after painstakingly cultivating. Now, she was second to none in the True Martial Academy.
But this didn't bring her any sense of accomplishment. She knew that compared to him, these halos were insignificant.
"Rewarding 655 cities and conferring the title of Marquis. Such a huge reward will definitely attract a large number of experts. He's alone now, I wonder if he can handle it?"
"What am I thinking about? I no longer have any relationship with him. I'm just a stranger. "
Ye Qingshuang gritted her teeth. She realized that she had become abnormally conflicted. It was because of this contradiction that she was distraught these days, as if she was about to go berserk.
"Qingshuang, you have a visitor."
At this time, Mu Ziyu suddenly knocked on the door of Ye Qingshuang's room.
"Who is it? I don't want to see him. "Ye Qingshuang snapped out of her messy thoughts.
"Oh, it's a woman with an extraordinary way of talking. She said her surname is Shen."
After Mu Ziyu answered, Ye Qingshuang was shocked!
…
In her own courtyard, Ye Qingshuang saw Shen Yu Shu with a complicated expression.
Everyone else had been sent away. At this moment, only the two of them were talking alone.
"Madam Gu, I didn't expect you to come find me."
Ye Qingshuang said softly. Seeing this woman who almost became her mother-in-law again, her heart was filled with mixed feelings.
"Do you have any news about Gu Chen?"
After a while, she mustered up the courage to take the initiative to ask about Gu Chen.
"Right now, the whole world is trying to capture my son. Miss Ye should know about this, right?"
Shen Yu Shu looked at Ye Qingshuang with deep meaning in his eyes.
Ye Qingshuang nodded.
"I came here today for nothing else but to ask Miss Ye to fulfill the agreement we made in the past."
Shen Yu Shu went straight to the point.
Ye Qingshuang's expression turned cold.
"Back then in Wuchen Sect, you and I agreed that if Chen 'er won against you in the Rising Dragon Ceremony, you would be his maid. I wonder if this still counts?"
"Now that Chen 'er is alone and needs help, I have something I need you to do. Are you willing to help me?"
After Shen Yu Shu finished, he silently looked at Ye Qingshuang.
Ye Qingshuang was stunned on the spot and did not speak for a long time.
"Madam Gu, don't you dislike me?"
Ye Qingshuang raised her head after a long time, her eyes were a little moist.
When Shen Yu Shu asked her to fulfill the agreement, she suddenly understood the reason why she had been feeling uneasy these days.
She did not want to continue to stay in True Martial Academy. She wanted to rush to that man's side, even if she had to go to hell with him.
However, her pride did not allow her to do so. She was also afraid that the man would reject her and dislike her.
Because of this contradiction, she was suffering.
After Shen Yu Shu opened his mouth and made a request, all of this suddenly became natural.
She seemed to have found an excuse for herself and finally let down her guard.
"Back then, you and Chen 'er were just a fight between a young man and a young woman. Now that you have all grown up. I still remember that when you were young, you also followed behind Chen 'er and called him Big Brother Chen … "
Shen Yu Shu looked at Ye Qingshuang gently.
Ye Qingshuang's tears could no longer be stopped at this moment. They rolled down and her voice was choked with sobs.
"Madam Gu, I am willing, I am willing to abide by our agreement! Even if I have to go to hell, I want to follow by his side! "
