On the way up the mountain, Lie Huo didn’t give Tang Haolang a good face!
In Lie Huo’s opinion, Tang Haolang must have gone easy.
Although Tang Haolang couldn’t beat Lie Huo, he was more than enough to handle a weak woman like Mu Anhan.
Who could have guessed that just as Mu Anhan stretched out her leg, Tang Haolang would fall off the rock?
He lost without even fighting!
In order to please Mu Anhan, he completely lost his dignity as a man!
How could Lie Huo not be angry?
Tang Haolang was also depressed all along, without anyone to share his thoughts with!
He was standing perfectly well on the rock, and somehow it shattered unexpectedly, causing him to fall to the ground.
Just like that, Mu Anhan won!
And won in such a bizarre manner!
Mu Anhan carefully searched for the way up the mountain, her super strong memory helped her remember it from even a single walk.
She didn’t care what Lie Huo and Tang Haolang were thinking, she just wanted to reach the top before nightfall.
The sky was darkening, the entire Qing Mountain becoming shrouded in mist.
Mu Anhan knew that her master didn’t want anyone to know his whereabouts, so she had to find a way to shake off Lie Huo and Tang Haolang.
Especially Lie Huo, who was absolutely loyal to Gu Xiaozhan; he certainly wouldn’t listen to her.
Mu Anhan had an idea; she recalled the strategy and formations from the Ancient Martial Arts Book, which she hadn’t used yet!
This could be considered a very good opportunity for practice.
With a thought, she had already started to act.
She quickly concealed herself behind the bushes, hearing Lie Huo calling out urgently: "Where’s Ma’am?"
Tang Haolang frowned: "She was just here a moment ago!"
Lie Huo looked around with a flashlight, panicked as Mu Anhan disappeared right under his nose; how could he explain to Gu Xiaozhan?
"Let’s split up to search and keep in constant contact." Lie Huo, still composed, immediately went to find her.
Tang Haolang took a few steps and returned to the spot: "Damn! I feel like I’ve lost my way! Lie Huo... Lie Huo... how do we find Ma’am?"
"I’ll inform the brothers down the mountain to come help. You call Mr. Gu." Lie Huo said.
Tang Haolang hugged a tree, crying: "Mr. Gu would slaughter us if he knew..."
"Even if he slaughters us both, Ma’am cannot be harmed." Lie Huo’s tone was extraordinarily grim.
Mu Anhan dared not linger; if Gu Xiaozhan rushed from the Imperial City, he’d soon find her.
She hadn’t met her master yet and would be caught by him!
Mu Anhan almost sprinted up the mountain at full speed, dashing through the misty night.
Lie Huo had notified the others down the mountain, and they were on their way.
Tang Haolang called Gu Xiaozhan, only to be scolded harshly, leaving him speechless.
"Let Lie Huo answer the phone."
"Yes!" Tang Haolang handed the phone to Lie Huo.
"Mr. Gu, we encountered a master while ascending the mountain; we’re now held up by Qimen Dunjia techniques. Since Ma’am led us here, I think she should be okay," Lie Huo reported immediately, "unless she plans to stay in the mountains forever, as she must descend sometime, and then we can intercept her."
Tang Haolang’s eyes brightened upon hearing this; the rock he stood on shattered, likely from that master’s trickery.
"First, find a way to break free, then immediately go up the mountain to look for her; I’m coming right over." Gu Xiaozhan didn’t know what kind of trick Mu Anhan was pulling, abandoning his paperwork as he asked He Gang to alert the pilot.
"Yes!" Lie Huo hung up and passed the phone back to Tang Haolang. "Mr. Gu will be here soon!"
