"Damn it, what kind of man are you, being so cowardly?" Ning Qi quickened her pace to catch up, but Gu Fan paid no mind to her. This wasn't a matter of courage, it was a matter of being completely outmatched.
Gu Fan utilized the complex surroundings to shake off Ning Qi, then tried his best to get around her, planning to ambush Qian Ying, who was casting a spell.
He remembered how Gu Ling had previously managed to draw close to Qian Ying. With a simple and direct strategy, she had jolted Qian Ying awake, disrupting her spell. So dealing with Qian Ying could be simple yet complicated.
However, Qian Ying was not foolish. She didn't allow Ning Qi to chase Gu Fan far but have her stand guard by her side to prevent a sneak attack from Gu Fan.
