Longevity Immortal Fate: Begins with Dao Companion

153. Hiding! The Next Thing To Do - Marry You!

"Changsheng, are you okay, Changsheng!"

After a moment.

Huo Qinghan brought Gu Changsheng to a small alley, tearfully looking at him.

"It's alright, cough...," Gu Changsheng barely spoke a few words before fresh blood kept flowing from the corners of his mouth, looking extremely miserable.

The attack from the Foundation Building cultivator was too strong, and it was only because Gu Changsheng was relatively exceptional in terms of strength that he wasn't already dead, unlike anyone else who would have been killed.

After all, he had endured an attack from a Foundation Building cultivator without any defense, even if it wasn't a full-powered attack, it was still terrifying.

Fortunately, he was a Body Refining cultivator with a tough body.

Gu Changsheng took a deep breath and took out some top-grade first-tier healing pills, putting them into his mouth.

These were all top-grade first-tier pills with excellent healing effects. As long as he wasn't killed, he could be saved.

"Wuwuwu, it's all my fault, it's all my fault!" Huo Qinghan cried, wishing to slap herself a few times, "You shouldn't have blocked that attack for me!"

Gu Changsheng smiled and reached out his hand to touch her cheek, "Silly girl, if I didn't block it, what would you have done? How could I watch the person I like die in front of me? I couldn't do it."

"Don't blame yourself, this is what I should do, it's not your fault. Blame those damn Bai family members for coming to trouble us."

Huo Qinghan shook her head continuously, crying, "I'm sorry, if only I were stronger."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

"Alright, stop blaming yourself. If you really want to repay me, then promise me one thing."

"You tell me, I promise anything!" Huo Qinghan nodded eagerly.

"Marry me."

"Ah?" Huo Qinghan's expression slightly froze.

It's not that she didn't want to marry Gu Changsheng. When Gu Changsheng blocked that attack for her, her heart was already filled with Gu Changsheng.

Even if it meant dying for Gu Changsheng, she was willing!

But...

Given their current situation, should they still get married?

"Marry me," Gu Changsheng said seriously, "I'm not joking."

Their current situation was very grim.

At this moment, he was heavily injured. Although he wouldn't die, it would be difficult for him to recover in a short period of time. Furthermore, as Bai Luofei's identity, she would definitely not let them leave the city so easily. They might even be wanted, and they wouldn't be able to leave in a short period of time!

Therefore, Gu Changsheng had to think of a solution, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't come up with any way to escape...

It could be said that they were basically forced into a dead end.

And the key to breaking the deadlock was...

The Goldfinger!

As long as he married Huo Qinghan and cultivated together, they would definitely receive good rewards!

As long as the Goldfinger was powerful enough, it wouldn't be a problem!

Gu Changsheng doesn't expect Goldfinger to directly turn him into a Foundation Building cultivator. He just wants something that can help him escape or awaken Ji Wenxiang.

No, even though Master just risked his life to save him, awakening her wouldn't be of much use.

She is still at the Soul Refining Ninth Level and is no match for a Foundation Building cultivator, unless she reaches the Initial Concentration stage!

After the Soul Refining stage is the Concentration stage, which corresponds to Foundation Building. In the same level of strength, someone at the Initial Concentration stage can easily defeat someone at the Initial Foundation Building stage!

As long as Ji Wenxiang reaches the Initial Concentration stage and is given enough soul-related items, as long as the elders of the Law Enforcement Hall and Bai Luofei are not present, they can definitely fight their way out!

So--

They must get married!!!

"Okay!" Huo Qinghan nodded shyly. "Should we get married now?"

Gu Changsheng also wanted to get married now and receive Goldfinger's reward, but unfortunately, it was not possible.

Goldfinger's marriage requires a proper ceremony and witnesses.

The conditions are quite strict.

"Marriage cannot be taken lightly. I must marry you properly and not let you down!" Gu Changsheng said seriously.

Huo Qinghan trembled and looked at Gu Changsheng with eyes full of love!

Gu Changsheng's intention is not to take advantage of her, but he genuinely likes her and wants to marry her!

"Let's find a place to hide first," Gu Changsheng said.

"Where should we go?"

"Do you know where Bai Qin lives?"

"I do," Huo Qinghan nodded. "She lives in the outskirts of the market, not far from the Bai family's shop."

"What do you mean..." Huo Qinghan suddenly realized something and looked at Gu Changsheng in shock.

Gu Changsheng smiled faintly. "The safest place is also the most dangerous place! Whether we hide or go to an inn, it won't work. So, let's go to Bai Qin's house!"

"Although Bai Qin's house is close to the Bai family's shop, they definitely won't have any time to go home and rest. They will desperately search for us. They would never expect that we would hide in her house!"

Huo Qinghan was speechless, shocked by Gu Changsheng's analysis.

His reasoning was indeed sound.

Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, one tends to go towards the mountains. It's the best choice!

How could they have expected that in such a dangerous situation, their hiding place would be Bai Qin's house!

"Let's go. We can't delay any longer. Let's go to Bai Qin's house before it's too late." With the effect of the pill kicking in, Gu Changsheng could barely walk.

"Let's go!" Huo Qinghan picked up Gu Changsheng and ran quickly.

With the use of first-grade talismans such as the "Swift Travel Talisman" and the "Invisibility Talisman," their running speed was fast, and they couldn't be detected at all.

...

"We're here."

After a moment, Huo Qinghan carefully carried Gu Changsheng to a luxurious two-story building.

"White Qin seems to be living quite well." Gu Changsheng smirked, "Your house is nice, and soon it will be mine!"

He led Huo Qinghan directly inside.

"There's a formation, right?" Huo Qinghan hurriedly asked.

"Yes," Gu Changsheng nodded.

"Then why are you walking so casually--"

Before Huo Qinghan could finish speaking, Gu Changsheng walked to a spot in the courtyard of the building and pulled out the formation's core, causing the formation to immediately dissipate.

"Just a small formation, it can't stop me."

Huo Qinghan was stunned, then full of admiration, she said, "Changsheng, you're amazing!"

"Haha, let's keep a low profile." Gu Changsheng waved his hand, "Come on, let's go inside!"

"Okay."

The two of them sneaked into Bai Qin's building, and Gu Changsheng put the formation's core back in, as if nothing had happened.

Once inside the house, they were very careful not to damage anything. Soon, they found their way to the basement.

"Alright, let's stay here for now." Gu Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief, "We're finally safe."

"Changsheng, should we leave something outside the door?" Huo Qinghan asked.

She was afraid that if Bai Qin had nothing to do, she might come back and they would be in trouble.

Bai Qin was not a threat, but if she found out, they wouldn't be able to escape.

"It's fine." Gu Changsheng shook his head, "I'll keep an eye out."

His spiritual sense could detect the surroundings within a radius of several hundred meters at any time.

As soon as Bai Qin returned, he would be able to detect it immediately!

"Okay." Seeing how serious Gu Changsheng was, Huo Qinghan completely relaxed.

The two of them sat on the ground without speaking. Gu Changsheng began to heal his injuries, while Huo Qinghan restored her spiritual energy.

The future was uncertain, and they needed to be in the best possible condition to face whatever was to come!

...

A hint of light appeared in the sky, signaling the end of the night and the arrival of dawn.

The market would soon enter its busiest time.

"Have you found them?"

Inside the Bai family's shop, Bai Luofei looked calmly at several Bai family cultivators.

"Apologies, Fairy... We have searched every possible place and found no trace of Gu Changsheng and Huo Qinghan."

"I have checked the residency information of all the inns in the market, and there is no record of Gu Changsheng and Huo Qinghan staying there last night!"

Bai Luofei narrowed her eyes, "Can't find them?"

She touched a strand of her hair and fell into deep thought.

"Gu Changsheng is seriously injured, and with only Huo Qinghan, they can't have gone far. But we can't find them in the market, and there is no record of them staying in any inn. Where could they have gone..."

"They have no other foundation in the market besides the Huo family, so there is nowhere for them to hide."

"The city gates are also sealed, and the wanted information has been sent out. They can't possibly escape the market!"

Bai Luofei thought for a moment and said, "Keep looking, I want to see where they could have hidden!"

"By the way, post a message in the market. Anyone who can provide information about them will receive 3,000 spirit stones. If they help capture them, they will receive 10,000 spirit stones!"

"Yes!"

"Hmph, Gu Changsheng, hide if you can. I don't believe you can hide for more than two days!"

...

Two days later, Bai Luofei's expression was extremely grim.

"Still no sign?"

A Bai family cultivator knelt down in fear, "Apologies, Fairy. We have searched the entire market area for the past two days, but there is no trace of Gu Changsheng and Huo Qinghan. We have also been constantly checking the inns and the Huo family's residence, but there is no sign of them..."

Bai Luofei frowned, "This is strange. Where could they have gone..."

In theory, she had already sealed off all possible places. Gu Changsheng and Huo Qinghan had absolutely nowhere to escape.

But after two days, Gu Changsheng seemed to have disappeared without a trace.

This was clearly unlikely.

"Did I miss something?" Bai Luofei furrowed her brow.

"Keep searching! Increase the reward to 20,000 spirit stones!"

"All of you, go out and search for Gu Changsheng. There will be a generous reward for finding him!"

"Yes!"

...

"Phew, I've finally recovered quite a bit."

In Bai Qin's basement, Gu Changsheng let out a long sigh.

After two days of rest, his body had mostly recovered, and he had no issues with normal combat and the like.
