Half a moment later, Bai Tian notified Xiao'er that Gu Xuan was just around the corner up ahead.
Xiao'er paused her steps, tugged Shangguan Xuanyi's hand, and indicated that Gu Xuan was not far in front of them.
Shangguan Xuanyi immediately stopped, he pointed at himself, then at the path ahead, indicating his intention to go check it out on his own.
Xiao'er nodded in agreement.
Sticking close to the wall, Shangguan Xuanyi gradually moved forward until he spotted a hint of light shining into the tunnel, whereupon he halted at the edge of the shadows.
He didn't try to peek out to see exactly where Gu Xuan was. Poking his head out would allow the beam of light to cast his shadow on the ground, revealing his position.
Shangguan Xuanyi patiently waited for a while to pinpoint Gu Xuan's location by sensing his aura, before swiftly launching a flying dart.
