<h4>Chapter 857: Chapter 859: Getting Better and Better</h4>


    Chu Ge got off the ice bed, and at this moment Jian Chunqiu also woke up almost simultaneously.


    He nced around in confusion. When he saw Dao Liu and Gu Tong, he was stunned for a moment, then looked at them somewhat incredulously, "Senior Dao Liu? Gu Tong?"


    Just like when Chu Ge woke up, his eyes were full of curiosity.


    "Uncle Jian, it was Senior Dao Liu who saved us."


    Chu Ge exined.


    Jian Chunqiu hurriedly jumped off the ice bed and bowed respectfully to Dao Liu, "Many thanks to Senior Dao Liu for your help, I am eternally grateful, and will definitely repay you in the future."


    Jian Chunqiu knew that as long as Dao Liu was involved, they would certainly be fine.


    Gu Tong sneered, "Always knowing how to butter up others, but not taking any real action."


    Dao Liu red at Gu Tong, "Watch your words."


    Gu Tong pursed his lips and walked aside without speaking further.


    Chu Ge looked at Dao Liu with aplex expression, which made Dao Liu feel somewhat helpless.


    "Since you know my identity, there’s no need for me to hide anymore. Besides, you don’t need to look at me like that, do you?"


    Chu Ge chuckled, "I just suddenly saw Senior Dao Liu using this identity to appear before us, it took some getting used to."


    Dao Liu couldn’t help but snicker, "You, you, really are a clever ghost. But I’m curious, how did you guess my identity? I’ve always thought I hid it well, and for so many years, you’re the first to figure out who I am."


    This indeed surprised Dao Liu, when Gu Tong told him, he was somewhat skeptical.


    "Bute to think of it, since you know my identity, how can you remain so calm?"


    If it were those people from before, knowing his true identity, they’d already be moring for him.


    However, Chu Ge remained calm, as if he didn’t know him at all.


    Chu Ge smiled and exined, "Since Senior Dao Liu wants to keep a low profile, there must be a reason. If I expose it, wouldn’t I be undermining him?"


    Dao Liu looked at Chu Ge with a approving gaze. He was very satisfied with Chu Ge’s character and his martial arts skills, but hearing Chu Ge say this made him even more satisfied.

    "Alright, you don’t need to linger here anymore. Quickly check if your martial arts have recovered, and if so, hurry and leave. It’s freezing here."


    Chu Ge and Jian Chunqiu couldn’t help butugh.


    After recovering, the poison in Chu Ge and Jian Chunqiu’s bodies had been neutralized by Senior Dao Liu.


    After seeing that Chu Ge and Jian Chunqiu were fine, Dao Liu and Gu Tong parted ways with them.


    Originally, Chu Ge wanted to invite Senior Dao Liu and Gu Tong for a meal, but Senior Dao Liu said he had furniture to finish urgently, so he had to leave right away.


    After Dao Liu left, Chu Ge looked at his departing figure speechlessly and sighed, "What on earth makes Senior Dao Liu love making furniture even after more than a hundred years?"


    Jian Chunqiu watched the departing figure of Senior Dao Liu, shook his head slightly, smiled, and said, "Probably because he never forgot his true purposes."


    Never forget your true purposes?


    These four words floated into Chu Ge’s mind. Yes, while cultivating the Ancient Martial Arts, the biggest taboo is encountering various temptations midway, which blind one’s eyes and cause them to forget their true purposes.


    "Alright, stopmenting, let’s go back to the Gambling Stone Field first."


    Jian Chunqiu suggested.


    Chu Ge nodded, and the two went down the mountain, only to find Gu Tong sitting in a ck sedan, waiting for them.


    Chu Ge was surprised, he stepped forward and asked, "Gu Tong, didn’t you leave with Senior Dao Liu? Why are you here?"


    Gu Tong rolled his eyes at him. He had indeed left with Dao Liu, but not far away, Dao Liu made him return. The reason was simple, it’s inconvenient to find a taxi here, so he came back to pick them up.


    Chu Ge and Jian Chunqiu got in the car, and Gu Tong drove them back to the Gambling Stone Field.


    At this time, inside the Gambling Stone Field, due to some incidents at the summit, nobody had much interest in gambling stones, so it wasn’t very busy; only a few people were ying there.


    Lin Dong and Lin Zhao were idly sitting in front of the counter, bored, looking around, "What’s wrong with people these days? Nobody’sing for stone gambling."


    "I think it’s definitely because they were stood up by the Dragon Group during today’s match at Fangding Mountain, everyone’s really upset."


    Mentioning the match with the Dragon Group and everything that happened at Fangding Mountain shook Lin Zhao greatly.


    This was his first direct encounter with danger after stepping into the Ancient Martial Path. During those thrilling moments, had it not been for Lin Dong and Huo Tianqian protecting him nearby, he’d probably have been bitten by bats and died at Fangding Mountain.


    Lin Dong saw Lin Zhao’s face still showing signs of fright and patted Lin Zhao’s shoulder, saying, "You just started the Ancient Martial Path, it’s normal not to be proficient, so don’t lose heart. Practice more on regr days, we can train together and even spar."


    Lin Zhao smiled and nodded, "Anyway, thank you and Mr. Huo for today. If it weren’t for you by my side protecting me, I probably wouldn’t have survived."


    Huo Tianqian chuckled softly and shook his head helplessly, saying, "You, a grown man, so sentimental. How could we let you face danger on your own."


    Huo Tianqian hadn’t been around long, but Lin Zhao could tell Huo Tianqian was deeply sentimental and loyal. Though they hadn’t known each other long, he consistently gave a brotherly care vibe.


    Actually, in Lin Zhao’s heart, he’d already considered the Gambling Stone Field as his second home. Here, though Gu Tong wasn’t much of a talker, and even when he spoke, he did so sarcastically, but his essence wasn’t bad. Moreover, if they really encountered trouble, Lin Zhao could imagine Gu Tong would step forward without hesitation.


    Although Gu Tong usually showed a cold facade, Lin Zhao understood it was just an act.


    As for Lin Dong, he didn’t have much to say. This guy always seemed carefree,cking seriousness, and whatever he said wasn’t worth listening to.


    But Lin Zhao understood that Lin Dong was the best to him in the Gambling Stone Field, treating him as his best brother.


    Thinking of this, Lin Zhao suddenly realized he had been overly sentimental just now, which surprised him and amused him at the same time.


    Actually, no matter what, weren’t the people at the Gambling Stone Field growing closer emotionally?
