Chapter 403 - 413 Avalanche

Chapter 403: Chapter 413 Avalanche

Gu Youyou stopped running and turned to look at him.

At the same time, Jin Ziyuan also came to a halt.

The three of them looked at each other; a moment later, snowflakes began to fall from the sky, even though the sun was blazing overhead.

Gu Youyou looked up and saw above the mountain peak, a rolling expanse of white snow tumbling down en masse.

Her body shuddered in horror, and she fell to the ground, watching him rush toward her using his Qinggong.

She had won the bet.

She was truly despicable.

Gu Youyou suddenly felt moved, her heart souring with emotion, "Jin Zijin, I’m sorry, I am selfish too."

The quiet of the snowy mountains was broken by the sound of an avalanche. Amidst it, a wild laugh could be heard, "Hahaha, I never expected... you have so many interesting identities."

In an instant, Jin Ziyuan’s figure disappeared into the snow-covered mountain.

He had fled.

As Gu Youyou was struck by fear, she fell into a solid embrace; Jin Zijin was running with her through the air.

The avalanche was fierce, but fortunately, they were not far from the mountain’s summit, and the snow was not thick.

He held her behind a huge rock, shielding her tightly in his arms.

The rumbling did not stop but even intensified, yet they were safe because the sound came from below the mountain.

Still unsettled, Gu Youyou poked her head out from Jin Zijin’s embrace and stood up, craning her neck to look down the mountain.

She hoped Jin Ziyuan wasn’t crushed by the avalanche; with his martial skills, he likely wouldn’t be.

"What are you looking at?" Jin Zijin’s cold voice sounded from behind her.

"I..." Gu Youyou paused, then said, "The avalanche is terrifying; I was checking where it had reached."

Gu Youyou met Jin Zijin’s inscrutable gaze, feeling an inexplicable sense of oppression.

He watched her for a long time before saying in a low voice, "You know to scream even when you’re afraid? Remember, don’t gamble with your life."

Gu Youyou shuddered; had he seen through her?

He had seen through her and did not blame her, but instead told her not to gamble with her life.

This only made her feel more guilty.

She lowered her head, speaking softly, "I think he is quite pitiful, just like me. If you are after the Youying Pearl, could you... could you not kill him? Maybe after we overthrow the State Preceptor, he may hate the State Preceptor even more than I do? The enemy of my enemy is my friend, right?"

Jin Zijin’s pupils constricted. He looked at her quietly for a moment before saying, "Some things... you oversimplify."

"I..."

"I understand what you mean! Enough, let’s go back."

He ended the conversation.

She worried that her repeated assistance in helping Jin Ziyuan escape might create a rift between them, but she did not regret her actions.

Following behind her, Jin Zijin’s face was expressionless, but his mind was racing. A sudden thought struck him, and he abruptly turned his head to look back at the mountain’s summit.

...

"What? Stop looking for the Youying Pearl for now?" Yue Rujing was nearly furious.

"Why, senior brother? He walked right into my territory. I was confident I could catch him, and now you say to stop looking? Huh, senior brother, you must be joking, right?"

"I am not joking," Jin Zijin said with a firm look in his eyes. He was serious about what he was saying and had considered it carefully.

Maybe Youyou had a point.

"Then what about the poison in your body? Shall we keep that woman strutting around you triumphantly?"

They had grown up together since they were young, and from the age of eight when they left home, he had always been by his side.
