Chapter 11 - Don't judge a book by its cover

Qi Yichen chuckled to himself, because he knew that he could draw their attention.

"Who are you?" He was indeed stopped by a soldier.

Qi Yichen slightly smiled, "This one is called Qi Yichen, may I ask what you're looking for?"

"Have you seen Third Miss of Gu Manor, Gu Qingyu?" As the soldier saw Qi Yichen's angelic smile, his tone softened up.

Qi Yichen casually pointed his fingers, "I think she went that way."

"Many thanks, young master." The people of Gu Manor weren't really bad people. They cupped their fists and ran towards the direction where he pointed.

Qi Yichen smiled and left.

Dressed in red, a beautiful and coquet man walked out of the room just as the remaining soldiers arrived.

"Have you seen……" The soldiers stopped their sentences suddenly, "Ah! Blood Burial City Lord!"

"What's it?" The man flirtatiously smiled at them.

"Nonono! Nothing at all!" They immediately fled from the scene.

The one called "Blood Burial" red-clothed man shook his head and mumbled to himself, "Did they have to? It's not like I eat people……"

Jia Qizhe and Co arrived at the small stream in the bamboo forest. They sat down and rested by the river, while waiting for Qi Yichen.

Sure enough, Qi Yichen didn't disappoint them and arrived shortly later at the brook.

"Let's go then!" Gu Qingyu became really impatient to arrive at their destination as quickly as possible.

"Qingyu, can you fly?" asked Qi Yichen suddenly.

"What?" Gu Qingyu looked puzzled at Qi Yichen.

"It's a bit far from here, we must take flight." Jia Qizhe gave Gu Qingyu a disdainful look, "Could it be that you don't know how to fly?"

"Umm……" I really don't know. "I……" Gu Qingyu didn't know how to reply.

"It's alright, Qingyu, I'll take you with me." Qi Yichen gently laughed.

"Perfect, since we're four, so two per team." Jia Qizhe glanced at Gu Qingyu, then told Qi Yichen, "You take the other one."

"I refuse!" Gu Qingyu immediately retreated, "Jia Qizhe, I'm afraid of heights! You take Little Qi!"

While they were speaking, Qi Yichen had already spread out a pair of wide white wings. He grabbed Gu Qingyu and took off.

Jia Qizhe snorted, and followed closely.

However, just when he took flight, he inadvertently looked back.

He unraveled a pair of wide blue wings, and took off as well.

Behind a tree, you could clearly see the red piece of clothing that revealed itself.

In the sky.

Gu Qingyu tightly shut her eyes. Qi Yichen dragged her by her arm, while her feet just hanged loosely in midair, "I'd like to ask for everyone to go ahead and image the feeling of hanging in the sky!!"

She half-turned to see how Jia Qizhe's side managed; In contrast to her, Little Qi looked very happy and content.

If she knew that his flight abilities were so good, she would've gone with him from the start!!

A myriad of regrets took place in Gu Qingyu's heart.

"Qingyu, what's up?" asked Qi Yichen.

What's up?? Are you asking me 'what's up'?!

She angrily replied, "Nothing, hurry and move along!"

"Ok……"

After a period of time, Qi Yichen couldn't help himself, "Qingyu, why don't you rest on my fan??"

"Fan?" Gu Qingyu suddenly had a bad feeling, a very bad bad one!

Qi Yichen waved his hand, in an instant, a large fan appeared under Gu Qingyu's feet. He withdrew his wings and landed on the fan. The fan glided through the wind.

"!!"" Gu Qingyu suddenly realized, "Even though Qi Yichen's outward appearance looks innocent and harmless, comparable to that of a descendant of the G.o.ds; His true self is a two-faced, mischievous, big bad wolf!!"

Gu Qingyu listlessly waved her hands. She grinded her teeth, "Thank you-ah, really!"

"Don't be so polite, Qingyu." he said as he gently smiled at her.

"……" I'm completely defeated.

Gu Qingyu rolled her eyes at him unhappily.

Jia Qizhe summoned a sword, and stood on it together with Little Qi for the rest of the flight.

Before long, it started to gradually get darker.

They finally reached the mountain.

By the time they landed, the skies were completely covered by stars.

"Why don't we continue to fly up?" She looked at Qi Yichen doubtful, she started to get a bad feeling again.

"It's quite straining to keep flying for so long," Qi Yichen's eyes lit up, "Moreover, there are many monsters on the mountain, so flying during the night can be quite risky. It's more convenient to go on foot anyways!"

……Convenient?! She sulked, "Let's go then."

"Huh, Qingyu, you actually agreed?" said Qi Yichen astonis.h.i.+ngly.

Hey! Can you stop being so transparent!

"[Eng]So？" Gu Qingyu rolled her eyes unhappily, "You thought I would pick the other alternative?"

"Not at all." said Qi Yichen innocently.

"So what." She pulled Little Qi and started to walk up the mountains, while glaring at Qi Yichen.

Jia Qizhe summoned a sword and followed behind them slowly.

Qi Yichen summoned his fan as well, and caught up with them.

No one said anything while walking, the mood turned very awkward.

All of a sudden, something flashed by Gu Qingyu's eyes. Jia Qizhe's sword immediately shoot out a blue lightray. Oblivious to what just happened, Gu Qingyu just saw Jia Qizhe leisurely put away his sword.

Gu Qingyu stared blankly at Jia Qizhe, "What was that just now?"

"Nothing much. A monster suddenly showed up, merely a tiger demon." Jia Qizhe laughed nonchalantly.

Gu Qingyu had a face that said "At that moment, I knew I was shocked", "Yo-you're saying that you just got rid of a tiger demon?!"

"Yeah, what else?" Jia Qizhe tilted his head and looked at her.

Gu Qingyu, "……"

"Nothing to be surprised at, Jia Qizhe has quite the reputation on this continent." Qi Yichen said smilingly.

"Ah~ I forgot to tell you," Jia Qizhe suddenly started to grin sinisterly, "I tend to really like to slay monster, especially cat demons~"

"Uhh……" Gu Qingyu suddenly felt uneasy, she immediately started to feign laughter, "Oh really? Ahahaha, what an interesting hobby you got there~ Am I right, Qi Yichen?"

Since Qi Yichen had no clue she was a cat demon, he certainly wouldn't 'Let the cat out of the bag'!

"That's right," Qi Yichen smiled, "Why don't we go together some other time, and catch a few cat demons for Jia Qizhe as training dummies!"

"……Stop talking or you'll die prematurely one day!" Gu Qingyu suddenly had the urge to slap herself.

"Heheheh!" Gu Qingyu laughed bitterly.

They almost reached half ways up the mountain, however, a "certain" someone's physical strength wasn't in a good condition at all.

"Argh! I can't walk anymore!" Gu Qingyu leaned miserably and exhausted on Little Qi's shoulders. She let out the 'X'th sigh, "Why is the mountain so tall! Why is everything so hard!"

Jia Qizhe and Qi Yichen both very "naturally" ignored Gu Qingyu.

This won't do, I'll have to change my tactics!

She fiercely ran in front of Jia Qizhe, and ruthlessly fell on ground……
