Upon hearing this, Zhou Chenghao revealed a disdainful smile and said unceremoniously, “Junior Sister Fang, looking at his tattered clothes, perhaps this person came from some remote village. It’s not surprising if he doesn’t know.”
“Senior Brother, what are you talking about! It’s too much to belittle someone like this. Hurry up and apologize to him!”
The man probably did not expect Fang Qinyu to choose to defend Gu Xi. He was furious, but because Fang Qinyu was present, he did not dare to flare up in front of her.
He forced out an apology and walked away angrily.
Fang Qinyu smiled awkwardly at Gu Xi, “Don’t be angry. Although Senior Brother Zhou’s mouth is a little bad, his heart is not bad.”
Gu Xi did not think so when he saw the jealous gaze from the side, wishing he could swallow him alive. He reckoned that this Senior Brother Zhou probably liked Fang Qinyu, which was why he was like this.
“How far is this place from the Capital?”
Fang Qinyu was even more curious when she heard this. “What kind of place is the Capital? How come I’ve never heard of it before?”
There was still someone who did not know where the Capital was? After sizing up Fang Qinyu’s expression, she did not seem to be pretending.
Gu Xi finally realized that something was wrong.
He probed, “Which continent is this?”
It was said that in ancient times, the entire continent was one. However, a meteorite fell from the sky and divided it into four. Then, it gradually evolved into four continents, one in the east, one in the south, one in the west, and one in the north.
Because of the meteorite, there were impassable trenches between each continent. It could be said that it was extremely difficult to cross them. One needed to have a strong cultivation base.
Moreover, there were also those powerful demon beasts in the sea. They would also devour the ships and the lives of cultivators. After a long time, no one took such a big risk. The four continents no longer communicated with each other, and the connection was gradually cut off.
Besides basically knowing such an existence, they did not know anything about the development of the other continents or what the situation was like.
Fang Qinyu glanced at him. “The Southern Continent.”
Gu Xi was from the Eastern Continent. He did not expect that he would cross the vast sea and come to the Southern Continent through the spatial turbulence!
No wonder these people did not know him. They had all explained everything. No matter how capable the people in the Eastern Continent were, it was impossible for them to spread the news to the Southern Continent.
Gu Xi was both happy and worried about this news.
The good news was that no one here knew his identity. There was no need to hide it, and there was no need to worry about being hunted down. He could recuperate well.
The bad news was that he had come here through spatial turbulence, the path back was completely dark.
Forget it. Since he had come, he should just settle down. The most important thing now was to recover from his injuries first.
For Gu Xi, the good was greater than the bad. No matter how hard he racked his brains and dug three feet into the ground, he would never have thought that he had actually come to another continent.
Gu Xi was so lost in his thoughts that he did not hear Fang Qinyu calling for him even though she shouted a few times.
“What are you thinking about? Why did you suddenly ask this question?”
Fortunately, Fang Qinyu was standing in front of them. If it were anyone else, they might have thought too much. The two of them were at the back of the team, so no one else from Moyu Tower could hear their conversation.
“I didn’t think much. I just asked out of the blue.”
Fang Qinyu did not suspect anything. “Oh right, which sect are you a disciple of?”
“Supreme Purity Sect.”
Speaking of Supreme Purity Sect, Gu Xi was a little worried. He did not know how the sect was doing. If he could not find his people, those righteous path cultivators would definitely start from Supreme Purity Sect.
Fortunately, he had asked Xie Mingze to look after them. With the Tiangang Sword Sect around, those people should not go too far. Even so, Gu Xi was still a little worried.
Fang Qinyu thought for a while and showed an embarrassed look, “I don’t think I’ve heard of the Supreme Purity Sect.”
“It’s okay. My sect is very small and remote. It’s normal that you haven’t heard of it.”
Fang Qinyu’s gaze swept across his arms from time to time, with an indescribable desire. Gu Xi looked at Little Nine, and he saw that its every move was very cute.
It had to be said that the snow-white fur was indeed eye-catching. These female cultivators could never resist the furry fur, let alone a fox like Little Nine, who was extremely good-looking.
Fang Qinyu had peeked at it many times, but she still thought that her little move had not been noticed by anyone. Gu Xi could not help but laugh involuntarily.
“Do you like it very much?”
Fang Qinyu nodded and said, “Is this your pet?”
Little Nine had always restrained its demonic Qi outside. Unless it was a particularly powerful cultivator, it was impossible to see through its true form. In the eyes of everyone, it was just an ordinary fox without any spiritual power. Other than being a little more beautiful, it could be said that it was completely useless.
Gu Xi said vaguely, “You can say that.”
“Then can I pet it?”
Fang Qinyu opened her mouth carefully, her big eyes shining with a watery light. No one could bear to refuse her request.
However, Little Nine was an ancient divine beast. Besides Gu Xi, how could anyone touch it so easily?
Little Nine immediately grimaced.
Fang Qinyu was so scared that she withdrew her hand. For some reason, the little beast in front of her seemed harmless and cute, but she could not help but feel a sense of fear.
“Little Nine.”
Gu Xi gave it a look, and Little Nine immediately fell into her arms quietly. It looked like it was going to lie down and let others stroke it. However, Fang Qinyu had other ideas.
Yes, it was pretty cute, and it looked good from afar.
Zhou Chenghao came over again and said, “Junior Sister, if you like it, I’ll catch one for you. What’s so good about this ordinary fox? It’s useless. What do you think of the Purple Lightning Fox? Its purple fur is beautiful.”
Seeing Fang Qinyu’s lack of interest, Zhou Chenghao still did not give up. “Junior Sister, how about this, tell me which one you want. I’ll go find it for you. I’m sure it’ll be a thousand times better than this ordinary fox…”
Before he could finish, Fang Qinyu had already walked away.
“Thank you for your good intentions, Senior Brother Zhou. There’s no need for that.”
