Xiang Xueer could tell that in the face of national righteousness, Gu Zhe would rather sacrifice his daughter's life than allow the Demon Lord to obtain the Fuxi Qin. As he spoke, the Housekeeper brought the Fuxi Qin down from Gunaara's room.
Xiang Xueer turned to look at the Fuxi Qin, and suddenly had an idea. She stood up and said, "I have a good plan that can both rescue Gunaara and thwart the Demon Lord's scheme."
"Oh?" The two immediately focused their attention on Xiang Xueer, who frowned deeply. "However, this approach still carries risks. If we're not careful, Gunaara could lose her life as well. So we must ensure everything goes perfectly without any mistakes."
After sharing her thoughts with the two, Gu Zhe sighed deeply. "Alright, since it's all or nothing, let's go with your plan. But first, you must provide something that convinces me!"
Something to convince you? This guy is still doubting her. Xiang Xueer helplessly drew out the Azure Wind Sword from behind her. "This is the Azure Wind Sword. Let it speak for itself to the Fuxi Qin!"
As soon as Xiang Xueer finished speaking, the Azure Wind Sword flew out of her hand with a whoosh, spinning in mid-air while emitting a buzzing sound.
The Fuxi Qin on the table seemed to sense the resonance as well, radiating colorful ripples and playing beautiful music with a tinkling sound, as if the two were conversing. Of course, no one understood what they were saying.
Ah! Gu Zhe exclaimed in surprise. Since their Nuwa clan began safeguarding the Fuxi Qin, such a situation had never occurred before—two divine artifacts resonating and automatically playing music. This time, he finally believed Xiang Xueer's words and nodded in agreement with her plan.
Thus, Gu Zhe, carrying the Fuxi Qin, followed Xiang Xueer and Lian Cheng Xue to the inn. Inside, Li Yunyang stood in the room like a smiling tiger, staring blankly ahead while Duck kept waving his hands in front of him, causing him to break into silly laughter.
Gu Zhe glared at Li Yunyang, seemingly suppressing his anger as he walked over directly. The nearby Ling Zhu and Duck nearly dropped their jaws in shock. "Wow, how did you end up here?"
"I brought him here!" Xiang Xueer followed behind Gu Zhe, then sighed. "Don't worry; I've told him everything. He's here to help relieve the poison from Li Yunyang!"
He reached for a small bottle from his waist, opened its red cap, and waved it back and forth in front of Li Yunyang's nose. A fragrant aroma similar to spices sprayed from the bottle's mouth, filling the entire room with its scent.
"Wow, it smells great!" Ling Zhu rubbed her nose; although it resembled spices, the scent was complex and seemed to be a mix of various fragrances combined together.
Li Yunyang smelled the scent and immediately opened his mouth. The centipede that had crawled down his throat earlier crawled out of his mouth and obediently returned to his small bottle.
"Alright!" Gu Zhe put away the bottle, his hawk-like eyes staring at Ling Zhu and Duck for a while. "You guys have really tricked me badly, making me lose face in front of friends and family, and the wedding has turned into a complete mess."
"Uh, sorry about that!" Ling Zhu bowed repeatedly in apology. "It couldn't be helped; I didn't expect this idiot would actually go to the Arena."
"Ah!" Suddenly, Li Yunyang's eyes regained their clarity. He blinked and, upon seeing Gu Zhe, shouted in horror, "Let me go! What did you make me eat? I will never get married!"
The others stared at his delayed reaction, turned away without acknowledging him, and continued asking, "Shirley, what should we do next?"
Xiang Xueer took a deep breath, staring at the Fuxi Qin wrapped in cloth beside her, and slowly said, "Now it all depends on me; success or failure hinges on this."
The group exchanged glances and nodded in agreement. Meanwhile, Li Yunyang, who was completely confused about the situation, scratched his head and asked with a troubled expression, "So, um, did I miss something important again?"
In the evening, it was finally time for the meeting with the Demon Lord. The group carried the Fuxi Qin toward the open space outside the village. As they approached their target location, Xiang Xueer began instructing everyone: "Ling Zhu, you need to take good care of the Fuxi Qin. Later, I will go with the clan leader to exchange hostages with the Demon Lord. You all hide nearby and must not expose our target. If anything goes wrong, our lives will be at stake!"
Ling Zhu reached out to touch a rectangular package. Lian Cheng Xue, Li Yunyang, and Duck then split up and hid among the surrounding bushes and behind a Tree Trunk, giving an 'OK' gesture to Xiang Xueer.
The Fuxi Qin in Xiang Xueer's hands was fake; in order to successfully retrieve Gunaara, they had to resort to this initial plan.
The two of them walked forward holding the Fuxi Qin. A figure draped in a black dragon-claw cloak had been waiting nearby for some time. Gunaara was tied to a nearby tree with a vine. Upon seeing her father and Xiang Xueer approaching, she cried out urgently, "Help! Dad!"
Seeing his daughter tightly bound, Gu Zhe felt an overwhelming sense of urgency but dared not rush forward. Instead, he stood his ground and shouted, "Demon Lord, we have brought the Fuxi Qin. Release my daughter quickly."
Hearing Gu Zhe's furious shout, the Demon Lord slowly turned around with a playful expression, glanced at the two of them, then focused his gaze on the wrapped Fuxi Qin in Xiang Xueer's hands.
Xiang Xueer tightly hugged the fake qin, her expression tense: "I've brought the item, what else do you want?"
"Ha ha!" Demon Lord looked at Xiang Xueer up and down for a while, then lowered his head and sneered: "Little girl, I still think you look better in men's clothing!"
This perverted Demon Lord was indeed lewd. Xiang Xueer frowned and scolded him. It was only then that Gunaara, who was tied to the Tree Trunk, reacted. When she had seen Xiang Xueer earlier, she felt a strange familiarity. The last time she saw her beloved Chulord, it turned out to be this woman in disguise.
"You, you liar!" Gunaara realized the truth and immediately burst into tears, feeling incredibly angry inside. No matter what was said, she refused to let her save her: "Leave! I don't want to see you anymore. I don't want your help, you big liar!"
Sigh! Indeed, ever since stepping into the Nüwa clan, she had been mistaken for a con artist several times; she had gotten used to it. After all, with so many lice, one wouldn't fear being bitten. Besides, it was indeed her own fault; pretending to be a man in the Arena was truly self-inflicted.
Gu Zhe felt extremely anxious this time. The item in his hands was a fake Fuxi Qin. If discovered by the Demon Lord, not only would they fail to rescue his daughter, but it could also jeopardize everyone's lives.
"Enough! Stop crying!" Gu Zhe angrily shouted at Gunaara: "We even offered our Nüwa clan's Fuxi Qin to save you, and you still have the face to cry!"
Upon hearing this, Gunaara quickly shut her mouth, tears still lingering at the corners of her eyes as she continued to sob. Xiang Xueer secretly wiped away sweat; her palms were almost sweating.
"Let's start the exchange!" After calming herself down, Xiang Xueer slowly walked towards Demon Lord, holding the Fuxi Qin, her eyes anxiously glancing at his expression.
"Stop!" Demon Lord suddenly shouted and then tilted his head to look at the tightly wrapped Fuxi Qin in Xiang Xueer's hands: "Unwrap it!"
This guy was indeed very cautious. Due to time constraints, they had searched through all the qin shops on the street. Although they hadn't found an exact match, this one was already quite close.
