Chapter 1003: The Excitement of Secret Romance

Seeing they were about to leave the valley, An Mingji’s deep eyes flashed with displeasure.

Outside the valley, Gu Dehao was present, and if he and Gu Jin kept being so close, it would surely arouse suspicion.

This left him feeling uneasy, but he had no choice but to let go of Gu Jin.

An Mingji released Gu Jin’s body but did not let go of her tightly held hand.

"What’s wrong?"

His sudden departure left Gu Jin puzzled.

Kunlun was too cold, and when the young man’s warm body left, her only source of warmth was gone. The cold air made her involuntarily wrap her arms around herself.

"It’s nothing."

After thinking for a moment, An Mingji added, "Uncle Gu is outside."

At first glance, these words seemed fine.

Gu Jin’s steps did not pause.

After walking a few steps, she seemed to understand something and slightly hesitated.

An Mingji’s steps slowed along with hers.

His eyes flickered, and the expression in his eyes was indistinct, his thoughts known only to himself.

Because her father was outside, Xiao An let go of her, clearly not wanting her father to notice the closeness between them.

Gu Jin’s face changed slightly, showing an indescribable quirk.

If Xiao An hadn’t said that last bit, she wouldn’t have thought much about it.

But that last sentence made her think a lot.

They seemed to be secretly in love behind their parents’ backs, with a sense of rebellious excitement.

God knows, there was really nothing between her and An Mingji.

Even though they were overly close on several occasions with hints of intimacy.

But they were really pure.

Gu Jin’s thoughts flashed like lightning, and she continued forward.

This time, her steps were no longer steady, revealing her panic.

All the way, Gu Jin was lost in thought, not knowing what she was thinking. Fortunately, An Mingji was beside her, supporting her, otherwise who knows how many times she might have stumbled.

"Xiao Jin!"

Upon hearing the familiar call, An Mingji immediately released Gu Jin’s hand.

Raising his eyes, he saw Gu Dehao and his men as well as his trusted aides standing outside the valley, their eyes filled with excited anticipation.

An Mingji could ensure that the people around, even if they discovered his feelings for Gu Jin, wouldn’t dare gossip, but he wouldn’t be so reckless in front of Gu Dehao.

From the first time he met Gu Dehao, he realized the man was not fond of him, as if he had whisked Gu Jin away from him.

This feeling was really quite unpleasant.

If only he could truly whisk her away, carry Gu Jin back to his own territory!

Upon hearing her father’s call, Gu Jin’s face lit up with a radiant smile, and she quickly dashed toward him.

Seeing the injuries on Gu Dehao’s body, the smile on her face vanished, and her expression instantly grew somber.

"Father, you’re hurt!"

Facing his daughter’s worried expression, Gu Dehao laughed heartily, unconcerned: "It’s nothing, just a minor injury!"

"How can it be nothing!"

Gu Jin could immediately tell how serious Gu Dehao’s injuries were; his pale face was due to excessive blood loss. The wounds on his body were obvious upon even slight examination.

She reached into her coat pocket and, with the motion, discreetly retrieved top-quality medicine for the wounds and an elixir to aid in recovery.

"Let me rebandage your wounds. We still have a journey ahead, the bumpy road will worsen the injuries."

Knowing his daughter had good items on hand, Gu Dehao allowed her to rebandage his wounds.

Gu Jin personally removed the previous bandages, scattered medicine on the wounds, rebandaged them, and then gave him a healing elixir.

The other injured members of the Tianlong Special Guard were also fortunate enough to receive Gu Jin’s medicine and elixirs.

I must say, the medicine Gu Jin provided worked quickly, and soon everyone was energized, their previously worn-out bodies no longer tired.

Indeed, it was a Spiritual Pill!
