Allure of a Country Maiden

Chapter 1263: Chapter 1260_1 Chapter 1263: Chapter 1260_1 Half a moment later, Bai Tian notified Xiao’er that Gu Xuan was just around the corner up ahead.

Xiao’er paused her steps, tugged Shangguan Xuanyi’s hand, and indicated that Gu Xuan was not far in front of them.

Shangguan Xuanyi immediately stopped, he pointed at himself, then at the path ahead, indicating his intention to go check it out on his own.

Xiao’er nodded in agreement.

Sticking close to the wall, Shangguan Xuanyi gradually moved forward until he spotted a hint of light shining into the tunnel, whereupon he halted at the edge of the shadows.

He didn’t try to peek out to see exactly where Gu Xuan was.

Poking his head out would allow the beam of light to cast his shadow on the ground, revealing his position.

Shangguan Xuanyi patiently waited for a while to pinpoint Gu Xuan’s location by sensing his aura, before swiftly launching a flying dart.

The moment the dart was released, Gu Xuan, who was sitting cross-legged and treating his injuries with his eyes closed, snapped open his eyes and narrowly dodged the dart with a swift backward lean.

After launching the dart, Shangguan Xuanyi swiftly drew his sword and vaulted forward, lunging at Gu Xuan.

Gu Xuan quickly rolled off the stone bed and leaped to evade Shangguan Xuanyi’s sword, simultaneously throwing a bottle towards Shangguan Xuanyi as he attempted to escape.

His magic power and injuries had not fully recovered, hence he was no match for Shangguan Xuanyi.

He had absolutely no intention of engaging in combat with him!

His only aim was to flee!

Just then, Xiao’er entered the scene and immediately noticed Gu Xuan’s bottle-throwing tactic.

She quickly tossed a small, black object into the bottle’s opening, sealing it shut.
