Chapter 187 The Palace of Heartbreak
Chapter 187 The Palace of Heartbreak
"Person? Where is he?" Xie Wan'er released her divine sense but saw no one.
But Zhou Ting had already detected it, and she steered the celestial ship in a certain direction ahead. Soon Xie Wan'er also saw it, and saw a heavily injured figure floating in the starry sky.
Zhou Ting hesitated for a moment, then waved her hand lightly. A soft, cyan fairy rope flew out from her sleeve, extending protective fairy light like a serpent. It gently wrapped around the floating white figure, carefully pulled it towards the ship, and then gently placed it on the deck.
This was a true immortal in the form of a young boy. Although he was covered in blood and looked disheveled, his face...
The two fairies, Zhou Ting and Xie Wan'er, paused slightly, their eyes flashing with undisguised shock.
They had never seen such a beautiful face. Even in her unconscious state, she was breathtakingly beautiful, as if she had gathered all the perfect imagination in the world. Yet, due to her serious injuries, she also exuded a fragile sense of vulnerability, which made people feel pity for her.
"He...he's so good-looking."
Xie Wan'er said dreamily, her heart pounding wildly.
"So badly injured... was he being chased by some terrifying being?" Zhou Ting muttered to herself. Seeing that Gu Yan was in critical condition, she immediately took out a small jade bottle from an exquisite storage jade pendant at her waist and poured out a fragrant, milky-white pill.
The pill had flowing cloud patterns on its surface, indicating that it was of high quality. She carefully pried open Gu Yan's mouth, placed the pill inside, and used her gentle immortal power to help it dissolve.
The pill entered his stomach, and its gentle yet powerful medicinal force spread, barely protecting Gu Yan's heart meridian and restoring a barely perceptible trace of life to his paper-pale face, but he did not wake up.
"Senior sister, he's badly injured," Xie Wan'er said from the side. She looked at Gu Yan's injuries and felt heartbroken, as if the injuries were her own.
Who was it? Who injured him? Who is so cruel as to harm such a handsome young man?
"The pills I have won't be able to wake him up. I need to take him back to the Palace of Heartbreak to heal his wounds," Zhou Ting said.
"If we take him back to the palace, what if Master finds out..."
Xie Wan'er shuddered at the thought of her master, who hated men the most, especially handsome men.
"Are you scared?" Zhou Ting asked.
"I'm scared, but I want to save him," Xie Wan'er said resolutely. Even if she was to be beaten to death by her master, she still wanted to save the boy.
Zhou Ting thought so too.
With a soft tinkling of jade bells, the protective celestial light of the ship swirled, and it silently accelerated, flying towards the direction of the Palace of Heartbreak.

Pitch black...
Total darkness……
My head feels dizzy.
Gu Yan awoke from his unconsciousness, opening his eyes to a pale blue gauze curtain embroidered with white birds, and a delicate fragrance filling the air. He sat up abruptly and looked around. Just then, a girl in red entered from outside. Seeing him awake, the girl exclaimed with delight:
"Thank God, you're finally awake!"
Gu Yan looked surprised, but quickly realized that he had been rescued.
"How are you? How are you feeling? Are you feeling much better?" Xie Wan'er asked as she came over.
Gu Yan looked at the unfamiliar girl. She had an ethereal aura about her, and her cultivation level seemed to be higher than her own.
Gu Yan asked, "Where is this place?"
The moment he spoke, Xie Wan'er's heart raced again. Her cheeks flushed. What a beautiful voice! It was almost like it could make someone pregnant. His eyes were so beautiful too! Being gazed upon by those eyes felt so blissful! Oh my god, he was just so incredibly handsome!
Just then, another person entered from outside. She was a woman wearing a turquoise dress and a moon-white gauze robe. The woman had a beautiful appearance, and she showed surprise and delight when she saw that Gu Yan had woken up.
"You're awake, young master."
Zhou Ting moved over with light, graceful steps.
Gu Yan looked at her with a puzzled expression, then at Xie Wan'er.
"Young master, my name is Xie Wan'er, and this is my senior sister Zhou Ting," Xie Wan'er said with a smile.
Gu Yan got out of bed and bowed to the two fairies who had saved him: "I am Gu Yan, thank you for saving me, fellow Daoists."
"You're welcome, you're welcome."
It was just a small favor.
Seeing his solemn attitude, Xie Wan'er and Zhou Ting quickly returned the greeting.
"Mr. Gu, how are you feeling now?" Zhou Ting asked.
"It's much better now." After Gu Yan finished speaking, she looked around and released her divine sense, seeing that she was in a fairy island floating in the sky.
The sea of clouds is vast, with many fairy islands floating around it. Fairy bridges span the sky, and rare and exotic beasts can be seen everywhere. Beautiful fairies fly by from all over the sea of clouds from time to time. These fairies are all dressed in colorful fairy clothes, with long light gauze shawls hanging on their arms.
"Fellow Daoists, where is this place?" Gu Yan asked.
"This is the Palace of Heartbreak," Zhou Ting said.
The Palace of Heartbreak? Gu Yan looked blank; she had never heard of it before.
"Is this the Immortal Alliance?" Gu Yan asked again.
His question was a bit strange, at least to Zhou Ting and Xie Wan'er.
"Yes." Xie Wan'er nodded.
Hearing this answer, Gu Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of that unreasonable goddess, Gu Yan felt that he was extremely unlucky. He was just passing by, how did he seduce her? And she even chased after him relentlessly. Luckily, he was alive.
I did nothing wrong, so how did I attract this undeserved disaster?
He touched his face, feeling quite helpless.
But then he thought, he was an immortal, and she was a goddess. Even without his handsome face, if she discovered him, she certainly wouldn't let him go. He was just unlucky; encountering that goddess queen had already sealed his fate. Whether he had "seduced" her or not, he would still be hunted down.
The Palace of Heartbreak, the Palace of Heartbreak... Although I don't know what kind of place it is, I just used my divine sense to peek outside and didn't see a single man. Could this place be...?
The kind of rejection that men have is... it just doesn't feel right.
Gu Yan's mind was filled with complicated thoughts.
"Young Master Gu, who seriously injured you?" Xie Wan'er asked curiously.
"I don't know her, but she's a very amazing goddess," Gu Yan said honestly.
"The gods, those despicable gods again." Xie Wan'er gritted her teeth as she mentioned the gods.
Zhou Ting, standing beside him, gazed at Gu Yan's beautiful face, thinking that someone as handsome as him could actually be targeted by a goddess. As she thought about it, her delicate cheeks flushed red.
"We haven't asked you where your teacher is yet, young master?" Zhou Ting asked.
"I... I've been cultivating on a desolate planet with my master. I've never left that planet before, so I know very little about the outside world. To be honest, I have absolutely no idea about the Heartless Palace that you just mentioned." Gu Yan chuckled, looking a little embarrassed.
