nChapter 78: The Savior Man In Black

n“As long as I’m not involved, it’s fine.” Elder Qian walked in.

nNan Ningxin followed him and chuckled. “She’s just garbage. Why would Shao Di blame us for disposing of garbage?”

nElder Qian nodded. “That does make sense, but…”

nHe paused and stared at Nan Ningxin. “If she’s just garbage, why are you wasting so much of your time on her?”

nIf he hadn’t owed her a favor, he wouldn’t have done it at all.

nIt was humiliating for an elder of Cloud Mirror Academy to deal with garbage.

n“Hehe. Although she’s garbage, she’s the only woman who can get close to Prince Zi. Only I can approach my man.” Nan Ningxin smiled gently, but her words were most intimidating.

nElder Qian scoffed. “I don’t care about your history. Just don’t get me involved.”

n“Rest assured, we’re even now. I’ll be on my way.”

nNan Ningxin stood up and walked out gracefully, smiling at the clouds in the sky.

n…

nGu Bailu could barely keep her eyes open. Her head dropped to her chest, feeling as heavy as a sponge full of water.

nEven so, she continued trying all kinds of spells.

nShe was just exhausted; she just needed power.

nThe disciples of Cloud Mirror Academy were already fearless after receiving Elder Qian’s order.

nEight disciples slashed at Gu Bailu from eight different directions.

nGu Bailu shouted, “Ahhh…”

nIt worked! The rope she was tied up with loosened.

nShe hurried to steady herself and avoid the attacks. Then, she ran desperately.

nNone of the disciples understood what was going on. How had she broken free?

nIt was impossible!

nThe bronze rope was made from fossils found a thousand years ago. Even Yin Neng had been tied up with it in the past.

nHow had she broken free?

n“Never mind that, chase her.”

nSomebody shouted, waking everyone up. If the trash escaped, none of them would live.

nEverybody followed and attacked Gu Bailu from behind. Gu Bailu dodged swiftly, but she was already exhausted. She collapsed after she used up all her strength.

nA fireball flew at her, but she had no strength to evade it at all.

nAt that critical moment, a shadow emerged out of nowhere and carried her to a stone pillar.

nGu Bailu tried to open her eyes, only to discover that the man was all in black. It seemed it was the one who had paid for her pills at the tea stand.

n“Who are you?” Gu Bailu asked curiously, not expecting a stranger to save her.

nEven though he was in black, he was still the most beautiful angel in her eyes.

nThe man stuffed a pill into her mouth, and Gu Bailu felt full of life once more.

n“I’m your protector. There’re too many of them. I’ll block them. Try to escape in the meantime.”

nThe man put her down and lunged forward, holding off the fierce pursuers on his own.

nGu Bailu stood up. She knew that she couldn’t accumulate strength right now, and she had to run first.

nIf she stayed, she would only be a liability.
