Chapter 383: Chapter 383: She Never Left

"What do you mean, are you saying that Lin Xi only regained her memories when she was in Qianye Mausoleum?" Gu Fan furrowed his brows, slightly incredulous, and asked again: "But you clearly told me that Lin Xi had regained her memories before entering the outer regions. I thought she had ulterior motives and was secretly hiding beside me, using me to find Qianye Country."

To this, Du Jun shook his head and sighed: "That’s because you had already decided in your heart that Lin Xi was exploiting you, and Lin Xi didn’t want to explain, because explanations would be useless, isn’t it?"

Hearing these words, Gu Fan felt a chill in his heart, and he began to regret hastily jumping to conclusions.

Du Jun added, "After Lin Xi regained her memory, her thoughts were somewhat chaotic. She didn’t know how to proceed and could only move with us. Several times I saw her by the seaside, looking worried. She would pick up her cell phone and then put it down several times. Gu Fan, Lin Xi didn’t deliberately ignore your messages, she didn’t even know how to accept her new self, how do you expect her to face you?"

Qin Jia also interrupted: "Gu Fan, do you know why Lin Xi gave the map to you for safekeeping? Think about that time when the boss wanted to kill you. What did Lin Xi say that saved you from death?"

Gu Fan was surprised. He remembered how they had all united against the boss in the warehouse. He nearly died at the boss’s hands, but Lin Xi had said that Gu Fan had the map, and if Gu Fan was killed, they wouldn’t know where the map was, and that’s why the boss spared Gu Fan.

Gu Fan always thought Lin Xi handed him the map to make him the scapegoat, but that was not the case. Even without the map, considering their circumstances, Gu Fan would have inevitably collided with the boss, and the map was Gu Fan’s survival ticket.

"So Lin Xi gave me the map for my own good." Gu Fan gave a bitter smile, a sense of guilt welling up within him.

Du Jun patted Gu Fan’s shoulder: "When Lin Xi came back, the first thing she did was to find you, but you already had a new girlfriend. It broke Lin Xi’s heart, but she knew she couldn’t blame you for it, and she didn’t want to disturb your life, so she didn’t bother explaining anything. Yet, she couldn’t help but care, which is why she returned to school, hoping to know immediately if you and Leng Le broke up, perhaps there might still be hope for the two of you."

After hearing all this, Gu Fan was silent for a long while, aware of what he had missed, and with a rueful smile, he hoisted Qin Jia onto his back and continued on the journey.

Qin Jia was surprised at this, because according to Gu Fan’s character, he should have immediately turned back to find Lin Xi, but why did he continue to move forward?

"If I go back now, I can only be a burden to Lin Xi. Lin Xi’s supernatural powers can protect herself already, and if I leave, what will happen to you?" Gu Fan gritted his teeth and insisted on continuing the journey, having almost impulsively and recklessly returned to find Lin Xi.

Du Jun agreed: "Indeed, this is the best choice. We can only trust that Lin Xi can protect herself."

After a while on the run, Gu Fan, Du Jun, and Qin Jia, with each other’s help, finally reached the rescue ship. As they climbed aboard, everyone cheered in relief. They could finally leave.

However, the problem now was what to press. Ning Qi pondered for a long time but still didn’t know what to do.

Lu Yi quickly invoked the purple-haired woman: "Heaven and Earth, summon the purple-haired woman, we need you to guide us."

Suddenly, the door of the rescue spacecraft closed with a hiss, and a voice prompt announced that the lifesaving system was being activated, asking everyone to sit down.

"Wow, that’s amazing." Lu Yi quickly sat down and buckled up, assuming it was about to take off, but instead, the bottom of the rescue ship suddenly gave out, and the ship started to drop straight down.

"No way!" Everyone felt the intense downward rush and acceleration, and it felt as if their souls were about to fly out.

At this moment, everyone was silently praying, hoping for safety.

The bottom of the floating island opened, and the rescue ship burst out, falling directly towards Yuxueyun Mountain. The speed was alarmingly fast, and a hard landing would be catastrophic.

"Quick, think of something. Fly up." Everyone was nervous and panicking, this wasn’t the way they had imagined escaping.

After Su Hui pressed several buttons to no avail and with a hard landing imminent, it seemed they were about to crash onto Yuxueyun Mountain.

"Oh my God!" Seeing the impending crash, many people closed their eyes, too scared to look. Everyone felt doomed.

But after a moment, the intense downward sensation disappeared, and nothing had happened. One by one, out of curiosity, everyone opened their eyes to find that the rescue ship had landed smoothly.

"What happened?" Everyone was puzzled. Given the momentum just now, the rescue ship should have been destroyed.

At this moment, a voice rang out in the spacecraft: "Well, all of you have arrived safely. This ship has shock absorption capabilities, it can ensure the safety of the passengers inside, even in the face of violent external impact."

While feeling relieved, Lu Yi was the first to express dissatisfaction: "What the hell? With such high technology, why didn’t you say so earlier? You nearly scared us to death."

"Did you ask? My instructions only answer questions, they don’t volunteer information, because silence is golden." The spacecraft’s voice left everyone speechless. If it was a person, everyone would probably rush up to beat it up.

Anyways, they had finally escaped. Gu Fan was the first off the ship, then he looked up at the cloud on the peak of the mountain, faintly hearing the sound of explosions. It looks like the self-destruction system of the floating island had been activated.

One by one, the others also got off the ship. Seeing Gu Fan’s concerned look, they knew what he was worrying about.

Ning Qi came over, looking very concerned: "Gu Fan, we finally escaped, we’re low on food and water. We should hurry home. Believe in Lin Xi, she can handle this."

Gu Fan responded emotionlessly: "Ning Qi, you and the others go ahead, we’re not interested in your treasure, you can go claim it. Also, you saved me once, I won’t tell anyone, you can rest assured."

"Gu Fan, what do you mean?" Ning Qi didn’t understand. Why was Gu Fan acting so cold and distant, why did his attitude change?

Su Hui walked up to Ning Qi and added: "Still don’t understand?"

"Fine, I’ll go." Ning Qi realized what she had done. She gritted her teeth in secret, then turned and left with the others. It’s always good to have company on the road.

Watching Ning Qi leave with a displeased look, Su Hui shook her head: "The first to board the rescue ship, she didn’t even want to wait a moment longer and wanted to abandon us to escape alone. Gu Fan, you did right. It’s good to cut ties with such people as early as possible."

Gu Fan didn’t respond, he continued to stare at Yuxueyun Mountain.
