After Qiongxiao had tidied up the spoils from the three evil cultivators, she slowly sat down beside Shen Gongbao.
Observing Shen Gongbao in his meditative state, Qiongxiao felt a complex, indescribable emotion. Since learning his true identity, she had intentionally distanced herself from him, even making up a false destination when they parted ways to avoid further entanglement. Yet, fate is unpredictable; only two days later, she had encountered him again—and at the most critical moment, while she was gravely wounded and being hunted by enemies.
Truth be told, when Qiongxiao first saw Shen Gongbao, she had held little hope. After all, his cultivation was only at the Mysterious Immortal level; in her eyes, he could hardly be of much help. However, the final outcome was completely beyond her expectations. Not only did Shen Gongbao intervene without hesitation, but he also struck with the force of a thunderbolt, slaying the three evil cultivators who had pushed her into a desperate corner.
