147: Space and Teleport

Gu Xiaoyue had originally thought that since Charlie hadn't followed her, no one would come looking for trouble.

After all, the news she received was that the Xiao Family would make their move during the National Competition.

Furthermore, Hechuan was not the Xiao Family's territory.

Gu Xiaoyue's bounty had also been withdrawn, so she should have been able to lay low.

However, the palpable killing intent behind her let her know that this trip to the Beastmaster Association had once again made her a target.

Ye Wanrou and Chen Yixuan, who had just been playing around, immediately became serious upon hearing Gu Xiaoyue's words.

She also wanted to help Xiao Yue, but given her current strength, it would be good enough if she didn't hold her back.

Chu Li's brows were tightly locked; he did not want to leave.

Judging by Gu Xiaoyue's expression, the opponents were likely difficult to deal with!

Fire Phoenix had just consumed the hun yuan pearl, and its skills had not yet been upgraded to perfect.

If he returned to Nanya, the path of summoning Gu Xiaoyue back would likely be unviable.

Gu Xiaoyue pulled them into an alley, "Hurry! Go now!"

Ye Wanrou tugged on Chu Li's sleeve.

"We are just holding her back here; we should leave first!"

Gu Xiaoyue felt numb; every time she participated in an assessment, something went wrong!

Chu Li was still hesitating, but Gu Xiaoyue had already released Xiao Lv and Xiao Mo.

"Don't hesitate, let's go!"

Chen Yixuan spoke up, and both his and Ye Wanrou's gazes were very firm.

Chu Li nearly gritted his teeth to pieces, then immediately turned invisible and summoned the Youming Tiger, pulling Ye Wanrou and Chen Yixuan into the hidden space.

Seeing them leave, Gu Xiaoyue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If it was still those scumbags from the Dark Night Baron, she wouldn't mind killing them all!

Gu Xiaoyue clearly felt that this time, there were three people acting against her.

She waited in the alley, her jet-black eyes shimmering with a silver glow under the moonlight.

Three black shadows flashed across the roof and stood at the entrance of the alley.

Gu Xiaoyue looked over coldly; there was an already hunched old man, and two masked men whose builds were ninety percent similar to Charlie's.

"Gu Xiaoyue, where have you hidden Sister Catherine?"

One of the masked men spoke; his tone was the same as Catherine's, and he sounded like a foreigner at first listen.

There was no reply as expected.

Gu Xiaoyue looked them up and down.

This old man should be around her level, while the two masked men were just making up the numbers.

Gu Xiaoyue didn't think much more; with a thought, her twin swords instantly appeared in her Hands.

She lunged forward toward the three people in front of her and thrust her swords!

Even the experienced old man was taken aback by Gu Xiaoyue.

Why wasn't she playing by the rules?

Her pet beast was right beside her, yet she charged up herself?

Just as the old man was about to raise his Hand to draw a summoning array, dozens of vines shot out simultaneously.

Not only him, but the two masked men were also bound tightly.

Gu Xiaoyue arrived in front of the three of them in an instant.

Her hair danced in the moonlight; she was like a female Asura, her eyes filled with killing intent.

"I will send you to find her!"

The young man who had asked the question instantly understood the meaning behind Gu Xiaoyue's words.

The old man flashed forward, blocking Gu Xiaoyue's downward sword swing, and took a blow from her sword head-on.

Unfortunately, it didn't hit any vital points.

He said a sentence in the language of Sun Never Sets; Gu Xiaoyue guessed he was telling the two masked men to leave first.

She certainly didn't want to let the tiger return to the mountain.

Weren't they the ones pursuing her relentlessly before?

Gu Xiaoyue narrowed her eyes; no one was getting away!

She was about to swing her swords down again, but the space around her distorted.

Gu Xiaoyue was pulled into another space.

The ground here was like a blue ice surface, and the surroundings were also moonlit, seemingly boundless.

The hunched old man laughed sinisterly, "You have entered my space, but your pet beasts are still outside!"

He seemed to be rejoicing that his space skill could isolate Gu Xiaoyue from her pet beasts.

The old man saw her two pet beasts, which had already changed their appearance using the shaping flower.

He had previously told Catherine to be careful of this young girl.

It seemed that Catherine's arrogance had killed her!

The old man's figure suddenly disappeared, then reappeared in another part of the space, leaving the vines on his body behind.

Instantaneous Movement?

Gu Xiaoyue raised an eyebrow; this old man still had some tricks up his sleeve.

However, since he didn't reveal it in front of those two masked men, he must have been using this skill as a trump card for self-preservation.

If he was showing Instantaneous Movement in front of her, it must be because he intended to take her life here!

This coincided exactly with her own thoughts!

She wouldn't let this old man leave the space alive either!

The hunched old man raised his Hand to draw a summoning array, and three pet beasts appeared beside him.

Although the attributes and grades of the Sun Never Sets pet beasts were actually displayed differently from those of the Dragon Kingdom.

The system had thoughtfully converted them into a format that Gu Xiaoyue could understand.

Gu Xiaoyue sneered.

"It seems you aren't doing very well in your bandit group; is this the price of you holding back?"

The hunched old man paused upon hearing this.

Then, his initial surprise turned into anger.

He roared: "What nonsense are you spouting!

I am the most respected person in the team!"

Gu Xiaoyue looked at him coldly, "You're the oldest, yet you haven't even managed to get a qibao berry; what is there to brag about!"

The hunched old man was so angry that his face turned beet red.

She was right; because of his old age, even when the leader had treasures to upgrade pet beasts to Lord-level, they were never given to him.

"Uncle Hand, let's give the fruit to Jerry this time; we'll give it to you next time we have one!"

The leader's words flashed through Hand's mind.

He knew that what the leader said was just an excuse; even if there were more materials to upgrade pet beasts to Lord-level, they wouldn't be given to him!

Hand glared with his already cloudy eyes.

Because of his anger, his eyes were bloodshot and filled with red veins.

"Dragon Kingdom girl, don't you dare try to sow discord between me and my partners!"

Gu Xiaoyue shrugged, her expression indifferent.

"I'm just telling the truth!

How about this, let's make a deal?"

She took out a qibao berry from her Yu Beast Space, the very one Shui Lingyu had given her earlier.

Gu Xiaoyue held it up to let Hand see it clearly.

"You—"

When Hand saw the fruit in her Hand clearly, the killing intent in his heart grew by another notch.

The fruit he had searched for so long was being carelessly rubbed in the Hands of this Dragon Kingdom girl!

"Are you trying to use this fruit to trade for me not killing you?"

"That's not impossible."

Hand hunched his body and coughed a few times, fully displaying his old age to hide his killing intent.

If Gu Xiaoyue's Mental Power wasn't comparable to a Legendary-tier Beastmaster, she might have been fooled by his superb acting.
