Cultivating immortality relies on spatial abilities; defying fate to become the protagonist.

Chapter 182 Mo Yu's Schemes

The Venerable Miaoyin immediately protected the injured Shi Qinghan, and everyone landed together on a desolate wasteland.

Venerable Danhua threw out a magic house, activated the formation, and then led everyone inside.

Gu Shihan rushed forward to check on Shi Qinghan's injuries. Fortunately, she was not in mortal danger, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The crisis was temporarily averted.

Gu Shihan helped Shi Qinghan back to her room to rest, her heart filled with guilt and gratitude.

After Shi Qinghan lay down, she whispered, "Big brother, why were you so foolish as to block that attack for me?"

Shi Qinghan smiled, her face pale: "When I saw you were in danger, I rushed over instinctively. How could I just stand by and watch you get hurt? I swore that you would always be my family, my own sister in this life."

Mo Yu, standing outside the door, witnessed this scene. He clenched his fists, his eyes filled with complex emotions, but he also felt a sense of relief. Just his own sister? That's wonderful. My junior sister is mine.

He had always secretly liked Gu Shihan, and now seeing Gu Shihan protecting Shi Qinghan like this, he was already extremely jealous. Now that he saw that there was no romantic relationship between the two, he felt a little relieved, but he was still not very at ease.

A few days later, Shi Qinghan was much better, but news spread that a treasure had appeared in the world, which was said to be able to increase a person's spiritual power several times over.

The group decided to go and explore. With a Nascent Soul cultivator leading the way, they moved quickly. Upon entering the location of the treasure, they found it eerie, as if every step was fraught with danger and hidden traps.

Venerable Danhua and Venerable Miaoyin had no interest in such a treasure. After a moment's consideration, they only sent Moyu, Gu Shihan, and Shi Qinghan to try their luck.

The three of them proceeded cautiously and finally arrived at a place that seemed safe and without any traps.

Mo Yu glanced at Gu Shihan and Shi Qinghan standing side by side, a strange feeling flashing through her mind. She looked around, deliberately lagged behind a few steps, and secretly pushed a mechanism stone when no one was paying attention.

In an instant, the trap appeared; the trap that should have been under Shi Qinghan's feet appeared under Gu Shihan's feet instead.

Gu Shihan felt her feet slip and she was about to fall. Shi Qinghan reached out to grab her, but Mo Yu blocked her for a moment with his magic and grabbed Gu Shihan's hand first.

In that instant, Gu Shihan fell into the trap, and Mo Yu followed her into the trap.

"Shi Han! Girl!" Shi Qinghan roared at Mo Yu, who looked guilty, but he gripped Gu Shi Han's hand even tighter.

Without hesitation, Shi Qinghan jumped into the trap, and the three of them fell into a dark place.

Shi Qinghan cast a spell to create a small light, and saw that the surroundings were filled with sharp, thorn-like objects that seemed ready to shoot at him at any moment.

Gu Shihan was a little dizzy from the fall, and Mo Yu quickly shielded her behind him.

Shi Qinghan angrily questioned Mo Yu: "Why did you harm Shi Han?"

Mo Yu's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't show it on his face. He gritted his teeth and said, "I just want to be alone with her for a while, and I won't let her get hurt. Shi Qinghan, even if I wanted to harm myself, I wouldn't harm my junior sister."

"You won't harm me? Are you trying to harm me? Senior Brother Mo Yu, I consider you a brother, family, how could you?!"

"No, I just accidentally triggered the mechanism. How could I harm you? I certainly wouldn't harm my junior sister. If you don't believe me, I can swear an oath against my inner demons!"

"Senior Brother Moyu, do you know that my sister is the person I must protect in this world? She has saved my life several times. In my heart, she is my closest sister, and my only sister. If you want to harm her, I, Shi Qinghan, will stop you even if it costs me my life!"

"Mo Chen, I know, she is also my savior. I would never harm her. This was an accident!" Mo Yu suppressed the embarrassment in his heart and cursed himself for his dirty thoughts, but he dared not say it out loud.

At that moment, a deep roar came from all around, and a huge shadow beast slowly appeared.

It lunged forward, baring its fangs and claws. Mo Yu and Shi Qinghan drew their swords, with Shi Qinghan taking the lead in the attack while Mo Yu assisted and protected Gu Shihan. However, the Shadow Beast was extremely powerful, and after a few moves, the two began to show signs of fatigue.

Seeing this, Gu Shihan drew out the Seven Star Silk Sound Sword, unleashing all seven swords simultaneously to attract the attention of the Shadow Beast.

Mo Yu and Shi Qinghan seized the opportunity to exert their strength simultaneously and finally repelled the Shadow Beast.

Mo Yu, panting heavily, asked Gu Shihan, "Junior Sister, are you alright?"

Gu Shihan looked at him and then at Shi Qinghan, feeling a pang of sadness. Xingbai had witnessed everything clearly this time; Mo Yu had done something shady, probably intending to harm Shi Qinghan. She hadn't expected this…

"Senior brother, you and my elder brother are both my family. I hope we can stand together through thick and thin, is that alright?" Gu Shihan's eyes sparkled as she looked steadily at Mo Yu.

“Junior Sister! Senior Brother knows that the three of us are one, sharing joys and sorrows, and will never betray each other!” Mo Yu’s expression was a little unnatural, but he still immediately replied.

"We will never betray each other!" Shi Qinghan walked over and said.

"Alright! Let's find an exit!" Gu Shihan smiled, relieved to see her senior brother and elder brother discussing things together.

Both of them were close to her, and she didn't want him to become enemies with her older brother because of her.

Especially Mo Yu, since he's just a cannon fodder male supporting character, he definitely can't defeat the Chosen One. Today's events prove everything; he was implicated, while Shi Qinghan is protected by the Heavenly Dao.

Shi Qinghan nodded, and the three of them began searching for a way to escape the trap.

They groped along the walls of the trap when suddenly Gu Shihan touched a protruding stone. After gently pressing it down, a hidden door appeared next to it.

They exchanged a glance and cautiously stepped through the hidden door. A mysterious fragrance filled the air, and the walls were covered with strange runes.

Mo Yu carefully studied the runes and discovered that they could guide magic to open an outlet.

But the three of them needed to combine their power. Just as they were about to work together, the hidden door suddenly closed. At the same time, the ground began to sink, revealing scalding magma below.

Shi Qinghan tried to use her spiritual power to support the sinking ground, while Mo Yu focused on deciphering the runes.

Gu Shihan also infused her meager spiritual power into it. As the last rune lit up, a portal of light appeared above.

Mo Yu picked up Gu Shihan, and with Shi Qinghan's help, the three of them leaped toward the light gate. The moment they encountered the light gate, three jade slips flew toward them. Each of them caught one and escaped the trap.

The jade slip swiftly sliced ​​through their palms and disappeared into their bodies.

Gu Shihan breathed a sigh of relief, "This is a magical jade slip!"

"mine too!"

"Me too!"

"Could this be the so-called extraordinary treasure?" Gu Shihan asked in surprise.

“That’s right, let’s leave!” Mo Yu and Shi Qinghan smiled at each other. This experience made them realize that there should be no more pointless fighting between them, and Gu Shihan became even more important to them.
