Chapter 145: Chapter 145: Rescue

This little girl is truly a mystery.

How could an ordinary girl disguise herself as a man and have a soul-grade artifact?

It would have been understandable if she had joined some big mercenary group. However, she was a member of a small ordinary mercenary group!

Not to mention, it was very likely that she had mistakenly entered some other dimension, but within 14 hours, she was able to return to the Earth.

This shows that she is powerful.

Just as Feng Tian was looking at Gu Jin with interest, he was pushed away by Liu Sunhao who said unhappily,

"Sir if you don’t want or don’t have the ability to get Jin out of the barrier, don’t stand in the way."

Feng Tian wasn’t angry and stood aside.

Liu Sunhao called out to Su Jin several times, but Gu Jin who was unconscious couldn’t hear him at all.

Feng Tian suddenly said,

"Try to sprinkle some water on her."

Liu Sunhao was irritated and said,

"How could we, he has a protective barrier around him!"

"The barrier only attacks or bounces back the attack when the frequency of attack surpasses a certain limit."

Liu Sunhao was a bit surprised and tapped on his head!

Yeah!

Why didn’t he think of it?

Xu Mingtao used her spell to accumulate some water and lightly sprinkled it on Gu Jin.

The barrier rippled slightly at the touch of the water, but it did not react aggressively as expected.

Instead, it seemed to shimmer faintly, its energy fluctuating in response to the gentle contact.

Feng Tian observed this with keen interest, noting the barrier’s unexpected reaction to the water.

He had expected it to repel any attempt to breach its defenses, but instead, it appeared to be allowing the water to pass through without resistance.

Liu Sunhao watched anxiously, hoping that the water would somehow help revive Gu Jin from her unconscious state.

The water drops landed on Gu Jin’s face, but since it was too few, Gu Jin didn’t show any signs of waking up.

Feng Tian, intrigued by the barrier’s reaction, stepped forward.

"Let me try something."

He summoned a small orb of light infused with spatial energy and gently directed it toward Gu Jin’s unconscious form.

To everyone’s surprise, the orb passed effortlessly through the barrier, hovering above Gu Jin like a beacon of soft light.

Slowly, Gu Jin began to stir, her eyelids fluttering as she struggled to regain consciousness.

To Gu Jin, it was a very strange feeling.

Just a few minutes ago, she felt very tired, and just a few minutes after a strange soft light enveloped her and Gu Jin felt her fatigue lifting, replaced by a strange sense of warmth and comfort.

As the orb of light hovered above her, Gu Jin felt a gentle pull, as if it was urging her to wake up.

With effort, she forced her heavy eyelids to open, blinking against the brightness of the light.

Her vision was blurry at first, but as her eyes adjusted, she saw the concerned faces of the members of the Shadow Fang group and the curious gaze of Feng Tian.

Gu Jin frowned, trying to piece together the events that had led her here.

Then, memories of her battle with the dark beast and her encounter with the Dark Solar Vein flooded back, and she sat up abruptly, her eyes widening with realization.

"The Dark Solar Vein!" she was about to exclaim when the space said quickly,

"Master it is already placed inside."

Gu Jin calmed down instantly. Looking at the Shadow Fang members, she was surprised.

She was expecting that they either be waiting for her or would be preparing to leave after knowing that only 13 hours had passed since she entered the spatial rift.

But to her surprise not only did they wait for her, they even tried to find her.

Suddenly saving Liu Sunhao felt that it was of worth.

"Jin come out!" Liu Sunhao shouted.

The bubbly and cheerful guy persona was long gone.

The one who was calling her right now was a dangerous guy. Just from the gritted teeth, Gu Jin could sense how angry Liu Sunhao was.

For a moment she was filled with a strange sense of guilt.

After all from Liu Sunaho’s condition, it was clear that he hadn’t slept or eaten anything for the past 14 hours.

Gu Jin withdrew the compass and waited for Liu Sunhao’s attack. Liu Sunhao pounced on Gu Jin.

Before Gu Jin could react, she was on the ground and Liu Sunhao was hugging and crying as he said,

"You fool! Are you even in your right mind? How could you ignore your own life to save me? Didn’t you say you would never save me if you had the chance to? Idiot! Liar!"

Liu Sunhao’s words and crying both made Gu Jin speechless and a bit moved.

Gu Jin awkwardly lifted her hand and patted his back.

"It’s alright. I am fine."

That was all Gu Jin could say.

Even though her tone was cold, all the people present knew how warm-hearted Gu Jin was.

They couldn’t help but tear up a bit.

Liu Sunhao didn’t respond to Gu Jin’s words and only sobbed.

Gu Jin could only continue to pat.

In her heart, she felt as if Liu Sunhao was like a golden retriever!

Finally, after 2 minutes, Zhang Wei coughed and scolded him,

"Get up. You will crush him if you keep hugging him like that!"

Liu Sunhao quickly pulled away.

Even though his little brother was a courageous man, he was indeed too fragile!

Gu Jin tried to sit up but suddenly she felt dizzy and fell back on the ground.

"Jin!" Liu Sunhao shouted.

"Jin!" Zhang Wei exclaimed.

"Oh god! Pick her up." Xu Mingtao uttered.

Before blacking out Gu Jin had only one thought in her mind,

’Why am I so unlucky!’

She thought that once she met the Shadow Fang she would show her cool aura and show off a bit but damn her luck, she directly fainted even before she could give a speech.

If the Shadow Fang members knew what Gu Jin was thinking they would definitely roll their eyes.

Feng Tian looked at Gu Jin with interest in his eyes.

Sure enough. This girl is not an ordinary person.

How could an ordinary person, within 13 hours go from Intermediate Rank Tier 1 to Intermediate Rank Tier 3?

At least 4 to 5 years are required to make such progress.

When Gu Jin opened her eyes she found herself in the hall, where she had previously lived.

"You are awake?" A cool but unfamiliar voice made Gu Jin alert and she looked in the direction from where the sound had come.

Sure enough, she saw a handsome middle-aged man.

The man’s hair was black, his eyes were of amber color making them look more sharp and beautiful, his face was filled with some wrinkles and his aura was unquestionable.

His every move excluded confidence. Currently, he was looking out from the window, and his hands were clasped behind his back.

Charming.

Gu Jin could only use that word to describe the guy. However, she wasn’t moved by his beauty.

In fact, she wasn’t a face person. Only that damn Long Yifan was able to move her with his beauty.

It wasn’t like she didn’t see any other beauty in her past life. However, none of them were capable of making her fall in love with them.

"You are interesting. Even my presence can’t stop you from having some wandering thoughts." The guy commented with interest in his eyes.

Gu Jin was too lazy to talk with the uncle(Feng Tian).

Feng Tian chuckled when he saw how calm Gu Jin was and said,

"What? Aren’t you curious about me?"

Gu Jin’s eyes narrowed slightly, assessing the man before her.

Though he appeared relaxed, there was an unmistakable aura of power and control emanating from him.

She knew he wasn’t someone to be taken lightly.

After a brief pause, Gu Jin replied,

"I’m more curious about why you’re here and what you want from me."

Feng Tian turned from the window, his amber eyes glinting with amusement.

"Straight to the point, I see. Very well. My name is Feng Tian. I lead the mission to find you and bring you back safely.

It seems you’ve stirred quite a bit of interest with your recent actions."

Gu Jin rolled her eyes and said,

"Don’t use that excuse to now follow me. Who knows in the end you will develop some love interest, then you will chase me and when I reject you, you will become a sad guy with a broken heart history."

Feng Tian: "..."

"I have seen many guys, who first think I am interesting then they would show interest and act passionately." Gu Jin said nonchalantly.

In her past life when she turned 14, some of the uncles like the uncle in front of her, said the same line,

’You have caught my interest.’
