The rising sun shines through the translucent gauze curtains, quietly illuminating the bedroom and shining on the huge round bed near the window.
Gong Hao was standing beside the bed in loose striped pajamas. There was a strange expression on his elegant face, and he looked at Xiao Wan with a bit of undisguised panic in his eyes.
Besides, there was no one else in the huge bedroom.
Xiao Wan was also a little surprised. She was sure that there were only her and Gong Hao in the bedroom, and there was no sign of a third person.
But why did Gong Hao have this expression? What stimulated him
Xiao Wan was extremely puzzled. Although Gong Hao's cultivation was average, he was a very well-educated and shrewd man.
Normally he behaves like a gentleman, as elegant as jade. When faced with difficulties, he remains calm and composed even if the mountains collapse.
This look of panic is very rare.
Xiao Wan asked: "Mr. Gong, what happened?"
Gong Hao's face was gloomy and uncertain. He hesitated for a moment before handing a piece of letter in his hand to Xiao Wan.
The paper stationery made by ancient methods is the kind of blue stationery specially used for writing, and it looks of high quality. It is the special stationery of Zhongyuan Hotel.
There were only four words written on the letter: Goodbye, I won’t see you off.
The four characters were written with iron hooks and silver strokes, and the sword energy was overwhelming.
Xiao Wan was born into a family of nobles and had practiced calligraphy since childhood. Although she was not an expert, she had a basic aesthetic sense.
It's obvious that this pen handwriting is of a master's level. The structure looks neat, the strokes are powerful, yet it reveals a sense of boldness and unrestrained momentum.
Just by looking at the handwriting, Xiao Wan seemed to see the bloody shadow that was so reckless.
There is no doubt that this must be a letter written by Xueying himself.
But when was this letter delivered
Xiao Wan did not sleep all night, waiting for the blood shadow to fall into the trap. She happened to have some insights from watching the moon, and her mind remained in a highly clear and agile state.
Besides, the windows of the room are all fully enclosed with bulletproof glass. If anyone wants to come in, they have to go through the door.
In her condition, she could detect even a mosquito or an ant coming in, let alone a person.
Gong Hao sighed deeply: "There was nothing when I went to bed. When I woke up, there was this piece of letter next to my pillow."
He paused and said, "My tortoise-shell river map is also lost."
Speaking of this, Gong Hao's face turned pale.
The letter could be placed by some special and secret means. But the tortoise shell river map was his rare possession, and they were closely connected spiritually.
Even when he was sleeping, he would hold it tightly in his hand.
As a result, the Tortoise Shell River Map disappeared without a trace. He didn't even know when it was lost.
This proves that Blood Shadow was not playing a trick to scare him, but could take his life at any time.
When Gong Hao thought about this, his heart trembled. He was a level 10 expert, famous for his divination. But he was completely defeated by Blood Shadow.
If you can't even predict your own safety, what's the point of asking for fortune-telling
Xiao Wan was also a little surprised. She snorted, "Sneaky guy, why doesn't he come to me!"
Gong Hao suddenly looked at Xiao Wan's chest with a strange look, which made Xiao Wan a little angry. Although she had a good figure, she didn't like to show it off. Only when she was wearing pajamas, she didn't have so many scruples.
Xiao Wan was very unhappy to be stared at on her chest by an old man.
She raised her eyebrows and was about to get angry, but Gong Hao pointed at her chest.
Xiao Wan then realized something was wrong. She looked down and found a piece of blue letter stuck in the chest pocket of her pajamas.
This piece of letter paper was obviously exactly the same as Gong Hao's.
Xiao Wan's face suddenly turned red. She was not shy, but extremely angry and frightened.
Under the stimulation of the source power, her skin turned a light blue.
This piece of letter was a heavy blow to Xiao Wan and also dealt a deep blow to her confidence.
Just now she said that Xueying didn't dare to come to her, but in the end, she was slapped in the face.
What's worse is that she had no idea about it.
Xiao Wan suppressed her fear and took out the letter as calmly as possible.
He opened the letter folded into a triangle, and there were two lines of words written on it: Not good at swordsmanship, but nice breasts.
Xiao Wan was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to tear the letter into pieces. But she controlled her impulse and quickly calmed down.
She bowed slightly to Gong Hao and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Gong, I failed to fulfill my duty as a guard. This is my incompetence."
After all, Xiao Wan came from a military family and had served in the army for several years, so she behaved like a soldier.
When she realized that she had done something wrong, she immediately admitted her mistake and did not try to hide her problem.
Gong Hao sighed and waved his hand: "Major Xiao, you are too polite."
He thought for a moment and said, "There's nothing I can do about this. I'm going back to Taurus today."
Gong Hao was really scared. Besides, the Turtle Shell River Map had been taken away. What could he use to fight Blood Shadow
Besides, Xueying had already made it very clear that he should leave immediately. If he didn't know what was good for him, he would be killed tomorrow.
Although the mineral planet is tempting, you can't exchange your life for it.
Xiao Wan wanted to persuade him, but she didn't say anything in the end. She just nodded and said, "I will arrange a flying ship for Mr. Gong."
At noon, Gong Hao hurriedly left Pegasus on a flying ship.
Xiao Wan didn't leave, she was still a little unconvinced. Besides, she still had a mission to complete, so she couldn't just leave like that.
One key point was that Xueying did not chase her away, which gave Xiao Wan some confidence to stay.
After seeing Gong Hao off, Xiao Wan called in technical personnel to conduct a thorough search of the room inside and out.
There was no sign of intrusion in the room. The other party appeared like a ghost and disappeared like a ghost.
Xiao Wan was very puzzled by this. It would have been fine if Xueying had just sneaked in quietly, but he also wrote something on a piece of letter paper and put the letter on her.
She was totally unaware of this process
The problem was that she hadn't slept the whole night, and although she had been comprehending the sword intent, her mind was in a state of relaxation yet extremely alert and ethereal.
This is very, very unreasonable.
Xiao Wan couldn't figure it out, so she contacted her teacher Cui Lingyun.
Although it was an inter-galactic video, it was quickly connected because it used the military communication channel. The powerful technology also made the inter-galactic network connection almost delay-free.
Cui Lingyun appeared on the screen. She was over a hundred years old, with black hair and a dignified appearance, and looked like a middle-aged woman in her forties.
Cui Lingyun smiled and said, "Xiao Wan, why do you have time to look for me?"
"Teacher, I always greet you during the holidays. I never forget."
Although Xiao Wan was indifferent, she rarely showed any childish behavior in front of Cui Lingyun.
She started learning sword from Cui Lingyun when she was seven years old. In her heart, Cui Lingyun was closer to her than her mother.
Cui Lingyun laughed: "I see you look worried, have you encountered any difficulties?"
Cui Lingyun knew this disciple very well.
Xiao Wan has a strong personality, and she is the kind of person who is competitive by nature and never admits defeat.
She has reached the silver level at such a young age, which shows how hard she works.
This child would never ask her for help if he didn't encounter any difficulties.
Xiao Wan had nothing to hide from Cui Lingyun, so she told him the whole story.
She finally asked: "Teacher, I just don't understand. I am clearly very clear-headed, so why can't I see the blood?"
Cui Lingyun pondered for a while and said, "Actually, there are many possibilities. The universe is vast, and there are all kinds of magical things. Maybe there is a kind of thing that can allow him to write letters and leave messages at will."
“It still doesn’t make sense.”
Xiao Wan couldn't agree with this reason, "It's obvious that Blood Shadow is much stronger than me, that's why he can tease us at will."
Cui Lingyun smiled: "Indeed, this possibility is the greatest."
"Teacher, if you want to do this, can you do it?" Xiao Wan asked.
Cui Lingyun restrained his smile and said, "I absolutely can't do it."
She said sternly, "First, I have to disrupt your perception and guide you to deeply comprehend the sword's meaning. This method is extremely ingenious. Even a gold-level warrior may not be able to do it."
Cui Lingyun warned, "No matter what means Blood Shadow uses, he is at least a Silver Sword Master. You can't handle him. You must not provoke him."
Although Cui Lingyun was far away in Taurus, he had heard about Blood Shadow because of Luo Jia, but he didn't know much about Blood Shadow.
The masters of Taurus are very discriminatory towards masters from other places in the Twelve Star Regions.
The most crucial point here is that the source power sea level in other star fields is too low and cannot cultivate silver masters.
Therefore, almost all the masters from the twelve star regions who want to advance have to come to Taurus.
Over time, Taurus established its position as the strongest among the twelve star regions.
Although Blood Shadow did a lot of things, they were not a big deal in Pegasus.
On the distant Taurus, not many people would pay attention to Blood Shadow.
Cui Lingyun didn't care about Xueying at first, until she heard Xiao Wan's detailed account of what happened. She couldn't see through Xueying's methods, and she became more wary of this mysterious assassin.
Even though Xiao Wan is very powerful, she probably doesn't even stand a chance against the mysterious Blood Shadow.
Blood Shadow suddenly rose to power, and no one knew where he came from. He seemed to be doing things without any scruples.
Although the Xiao family has a great reputation, it may not be able to scare Xueying. Cui Lingyun does not want his favorite disciple to take risks.
Xiao Wan thought for a moment and said, "Xueying won't kill me casually. I'm a military representative..."
Cui Lingyun said: "You don't need to take risks. You should return to the Space Battle Fortress as soon as possible. Don't worry about this matter anymore."
"Teacher, don't worry. I know the severity of the situation."
Xiao Wan smiled and waved: "Goodbye, teacher."
After closing the video, Xiao Wan's smile disappeared. She said to herself, "I will stay in Mingjing and won't leave! You can't kill me!"
