Chapter 2343: The Interrogation
Mr. Zhu was shocked but remained determined to help. "I will go with you!" He offered, with a hint of enthusiasm.
Gu Xijiu was grateful for his kind offer. "Great! Thank you very much."
Mr. Zhu smiled at her and comforted her. "Don’t thank me. It is not all because of you. I have my own plans, too. The deadly swarm is at least a thousand miles away from here. If I go with you, apart from keeping you safe, I also get to learn about the art of healing and all sorts of array formations."
Gu Xijiu found his honestly quite adorable. She observed his bewitching eyes and asked, "What is your real name?" She could not keep calling him Mr. Zhu, now that he was already her disciple.

Yuanyuan was on her bed. Sweat broke out all over her forehead. The Universal Net had left streaks of red marks across her skin. The moment she realized that things were going bad for her, she quickly covered her face with her hands. The marks were not particularly obvious, except for the ones on the back of her bare hands.
The wounds were not severe but caused her a lot of pain. She had been freed from the Universal Net for a while now, but the pain did not seem to go away.
