Before Xu Sheng could say more, Mo Li said mockingly, "Heh, I really don't know what those disciples who assign tasks are thinking, to actually let someone at the Foundation Establishment Stage participate. It would be quite bad if he died!"

He looked at Xu Sheng with deep enmity, wishing he could suppress him on the spot, but considering the Martial Technique that could enhance one's cultivation level, he could only look for another opportunity!

With an unchanged expression, Xu Sheng responded, "Junior Brother Mo is absolutely right. After all, during the last Five Peaks competition, it was purely by luck that I managed to defeat you in mere seconds. Indeed, it was reckless of me to take on this task!"

Gu Linruo covered her mouth and chuckled, "Pfft!"

Her smile seemed to make everything else pale in comparison…

She then said softly, "Junior Brother Xu, what are you talking about! In a duel, how could there be any luck involved? To win is to win, to lose is to lose!"

Xu Sheng nodded and replied, "Yes! Thank you for the guidance, Senior Sister Gu. I have learned my lesson!"

It seemed that compared to him, Gu Linruo clearly disliked Mo Li even more!

Mo Li, detecting the mockery in their words, clenched his fists and forced a smile, saying, "Junior Sister Gu Linruo, we should hurry and set off, not to delay our mission..."

He was determined to find an opportunity to slaughter this Xu Sheng, who dared to approach the woman he fancied. He was simply courting death!

The corners of Xu Sheng's mouth curled up as he said, "Junior Brother Mo is right; we should hurry on our way no matter what!"

As his words fell, he decisively released his Beast Taming Technique, and a faint halo began to flicker in front of them. The regal Silver Moon Wolf King slowly materialized, staring at Mo Li with crimson eyes full of death.

Curious, Gu Linruo asked, "Junior Brother Xu, what is this?"

Xu Sheng explained softly, "This is a Monster Beast I've tamed. Senior Sister Gu, there's no need to worry!"

Mo Li, shocked inwardly, thought, "How is this possible! How did this brat manage to make the Golden Core Stage Silver Moon Wolf King submit to him?"

He could only watch helplessly as Xu Sheng mounted the back of the Silver Moon Wolf King and then extended his hand to pull Gu Linruo up with him...

Turning to Gu Linruo, Xu Sheng asked softly, "What do you think, Senior Sister Gu?"

Gently stroking the fur on the back of the Silver Moon Wolf King, Gu Linruo expressed her admiration, "This Silver Moon Wolf King is unexpectedly gentle. I didn't think you'd be capable of beast taming, Junior Brother Xu. Quite impressive!"

Mo Li gritted his teeth, suppressing the rage in his heart, and said somewhat awkwardly to Xu Sheng, "Junior Brother Xu, that… I—"

Xu Sheng offered an innocuous smile and said, "What are you waiting for, Junior Brother Mo? Hurry and come aboard!"

Mo Li's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself, "This kid knows his place! Well then, when the time comes, I'll just cripple his limbs and leave him a way out!"

Then he walked toward the Silver Moon Wolf King with arrogance. As he reached out to touch it, the fierce beast's crimson eyes suddenly brightened, and with a powerful kick, it sent him flying several meters away, crashing to the cold ground...

Xu Sheng glanced coldly at Mo Li and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Junior Brother Mo. It seems my Monster Beast isn't fully tamed yet and appears to be unfriendly toward you. But I'm sure you have other ways to proceed. Senior Sister Gu and I will be leaving first!"

He then patted the Silver Moon Wolf King, which roared and took off at a terrifying speed, vanishing from the area...

Mo Li, picking himself up from the ground and holding his lightly injured chest, looked around at the empty surroundings and said furiously, "Damn it!! Xu Sheng!! I will grind your bones to dust!!"

Only by tearing him apart could he relieve this deep-seated hatred in his heart!

And that wretched woman, who he had treated so well, had been so easily lured away by someone else!!

If that's the case, then don't blame me for being ruthless!

...

Seated atop the Silver Moon Wolf King, Gu Linruo looked at Xu Sheng beside her and said, "Junior Brother Xu, this isn't very nice of us, is it?!"

Although she said that, it was clear that without Mo Li's presence, Gu Linruo was still in a very good mood!

With a faint smile, Xu Sheng replied, "Senior Sister Gu, I presume you also wouldn't want to see Brother Mo, right?"

Gu Linruo was startled for a moment, then pursed her lips and said, "Mmm! Even though he has been pursuing me for several years, I really can't accept his showy nature and scheming personality!"

Curious, Xu Sheng asked, "Then what kind of man could Senior Sister accept?"

Gu Linruo pondered for a bit, and then, looking deeply into Xu Sheng's eyes, she whispered, "It should be someone with a temperament like Junior Brother Xu's! Competent but not ostentatious, understanding of humility and courtesy!"

These words were her true feelings!

Xu Sheng was quite surprised and said, "That is truly an honor for me, but I still need to apologize for what happened last time, Senior Sister!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Linruo's cheeks flushed with heat, as she embarrassedly said, "Junior Brother Xu, last time, we both know it was an accident, let's not bring it up again..."

Xu Sheng's dark eyes flickered a few times as he casually said, "Is that so? After that incident, I thought Senior Sister really disliked me."

With a gentle smile, Gu Linruo said, "Junior Brother Xu is overthinking it; I am not someone who nitpicks over such small things."

If Xu Sheng hadn't restrained his power at that time, she would have been seriously injured!

Then, changing her tone, she said with confusion, "But Junior Brother, did you really look at the map? It seems like we're going in the wrong direction!"

Ever since they left Xuantian Sect, they had been heading in the wrong direction!

She had thought that Xu Sheng was planning to take a shortcut or a detour, but now that they were so terribly off course, she couldn't help but speak up...

Xu Sheng's expression instantly stiffened as he coughed and said, "Cough cough... I haven't had the chance to look yet..."

Besides having to soothe Mo Qingyue after returning to Tianlan Peak, the most important thing was that he simply couldn't understand the Continent's map at all, it was purely abstract!

Upon hearing this, Gu Linruo's amber-like Beautiful Eyes shimmered with suspicion, and she pressed, "Is it really just that you haven't had the chance to look? I feel like Junior Brother Xu doesn't know how to read maps~~"

Xu Sheng helplessly replied, "Senior Sister Gu is really sharp, indeed I can't read maps! If Senior Sister can understand it, then you command the Silver Moon Wolf King..."

Gu Linruo's Beautiful Eyes immediately sparkled with hope, "Really?"

Although she had hunted Monster Beasts before, she had never experienced controlling one!

Seeing her excited look, Xu Sheng smiled with a hint of indulgence, "Of course, just give the orders verbally, the Silver Moon Wolf King understands human speech."

Gu Linruo, realizing her own excitement, blushed even more, then exchanged places with Xu Sheng and took out the map that recorded the destination of their mission...

After a long moment, she gave her first command seriously, "Silver Moon Wolf King, run northeast from now on!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the Silver Moon Wolf King abruptly stopped in its tracks, twisted its massive body to change direction, and started running even faster towards the correct way...
