Chapter 1968: The Meeting Of Old Acquaintances (2)
Gu Xijiu knocked and tapped around the place and finally found a small switch. After pressing on it, a tunnel suddenly appeared! Gu Xijiu looked inside through the cascading curtains of water. She could not see anything as the tunnel was dark inside.
"Who is it?!" A voice emerged from inside the tunnel that was accompanied by the sound of chains being dragged across the floor.
Gu Xijiu’s heart skipped a beat. This voice sounded somewhat familiar. She dashed inside the deep tunnel. After a few twists and turns, she finally encountered what seemed to be a person. She also saw some light. The source of the shimmer was the gleaming Luminous Pearls embedded along the walls. As the quality of the pearls was only normal, its dull shine could only cover a small area in the cave.
The person was sitting on a wheelchair and clothed in a faint white shirt. His long hair draped all over his upper body; there was a small portion that swayed in front of his forehead, nearly fully obstructing his face, while the remaining portion fell behind his back. His wrists and ankles were bound with magic iron chains that were hung up high on the walls of the cave.
The chains clanged against each other along with his movements. He seemed to have heard Gu Xijiu entering. He rose his head slowly and spoke in a cold voice, "Who are you? Another agent of hers...?"
He paused as his eyes fixed on Gu Xijiu. "Are you... Xijiu?"
