Chapter 1780 Gu Xia Mo


    The man, Gu Xia Mo, narrowed his eyes at Long Qian Xing''s greeting. Looking at the other party''s appearance, it took him a moment before saying in a tentative tone, "Long Qian Xing?"


    "It''s me."


    "…What bring you to this forsaken ce?"


    "To see you." Long Qian Xing shrugged. "Aside from my own new deployment area."


    New deployment area.


    Gu Xia Mo frowned when he heard Long Qian Xing''s words. If Long Qian Xing was here, it meant that the soldiers from Shi Long Kingdom should also be nearby. If they were to continue further to the south, it would be inevitable for them toe here.


    He noticed that some people were looking from within the cave and waved his hand. "Follow me to the back, this is no ce to talk."


    "Ok."


    The two of them walked to follow Gu Xia Mo. This area was quite vast with a lot of snow. If one were not careful, they might step on the weak point and fell down, but Gu Xia Mo was familiar and knew the stone''s structure below them.


    Following him was the safest method.


    Soon, they reached a clearing on the back. It was still snowing, but there was arge tree standing there. There were no leaves left, yet the tree stubbornly held on and stand tall in this ce.


    Gu Xia Mo stopped not far from the tree and pointed at the rocks scattered around. "You can pick your seat wherever you want. I have no tea here, so I can''t serve you anything."


    "It''s already a challenge to live in this ce." Long Qian Xing nodded and sat not far from Gu Xia Mo. Nan Hua followed not far from Long Qian Xing.


    Gu Xia Mo also saw Nan Hua, but he didn''t recognize her. Since she was brought with Long Qian Xing, he chose to ignore Nan Hua''s presence.


    "Why did you want to find me? Trying to figure out whether all of us are here?" Gu Xia Mo asked, his tone was calm and indifferent.


    "That can be a good reason." Long Qian Xing rubbed his chin. "Jin Nian is also here."


    Gu Xia Mo''s eyes trembled when he heard that name. He looked at Long Qian Xing coldly. "My rtionship with her had nothing to do with you."


    "I know."


    "Then…"


    "I''m just here to tell you that and also to ask some question." Long Qian Xing pointed at the ice below. "That''s your masterpiece, isn''t it? How did you make it until this far?"


    Gu Xia Mo didn''t immediately answer. He looked at the ice below that had gotten so big that it looked like an ind on its own and sighed. "Ie here with my people to avoid the war." Instead of answering, Gu Xia Mo started his own story, "There are too many deaths and the condition of Wei Da Kingdom is very severe. The Emperor had no care for the people, people are suffering, and the local officials didn''t want to help at all.


    I set off with my people, traveling further to the south carefully and then set up this ce. But to hide from them all is not easy."


    Gu Xia Mo raised his head and then said, <In the midst of being chased and killed, I encounter a simple temple. There was an altar there and I identally fall asleep nearby where I meet with a ball>


    Long Qian Xing looked at Gu Xia Mo speechlessly, <A ball?>


    <He called himself as the world''s consciousness and told me that everything that happened there is considered as a secret of the world. If I try to talk about this matter to ordinary people, they will never understand.> Gu Xia Mo looked at Long Qian Xing. <But you understand what I''m talking about, aren''t you?>


    Long Qian Xing nodded. Even though he did realize that thenguage seemed strange, he could still understand what the other party was talking about. Perhaps, it was because the two of them didn''t really belong to this world.


    Not far from Long Qian Xing, Nan Hua''s eyes flickered.


    She had also tried to talk about this to herself back then and realized that thenguage in which she talked seemed to be distorted. At that time, she thought that it meant it would not be understood by anyone else.


    But it seemed that the restriction only applied to the people who were from this world genuinely.


    They, who came here inexplicably, could talk with each other about this matter.


    "<I requested for power to protect the people and it give me the strengthened version at the higher cost.>" Gu Xia Mo stopped talking at this time and looked at Long Qian Xing with a wry smile. "<So if you ever think about having better ability, the cost will also increase exponentially until it took your life>"


    Long Qian Xing pursed his lips and looked at Nan Hua.


    He wanted more power, but he didn''t want to lose his life.


    Because he knew that if he were to leave, he would be leaving Nan Hua here alone. He didn''t want that at all. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    After this war is over, he wanted to spend the rest of his life with his belonged woman. "<I don''t want to ask for more power>" Long Qian Xing said in a slow voice. "<But I don''t understand why you don''t try to reunite with her>"


    Gu Xia Mo''s eyes flickered and then replied "<Because after our death, we will return to our world.>"


    "What did you say?" Long Qian Xing was so startled that he stood up.


    Nan Hua''s eyes also flickered.


    <Return?>


    <Return to that world?>


    <There was unease deep within Nan Hua''s heart, but she suppressed it all. The misery she had experienced in that world, theck of freedom she had, and the live as nothing but tools. Would she have to repeat it all after experiencing the life in this ce?>


    <Can she stand it?>
