I Am Born With A Silver Spoon
Chapter 574 The Secret of Gu Yuxiao

It was emitting light.

Even from afar, Chen Hao could sense the energy given out by this Water Elusive Stone.

"It certainly is a treasure!" Chen Hao was elated.

"What?"

Just when Chen Hao reached out to take it, he heard a rope swishing down from a tunnel above him.

Someone was here!

A person was climbing down the rope from another direction.

In a swift action, Chen Hao hid himself in a concealed position.

Not long after, a girl jumped down as expected.

She patted her hands and fixed her gaze at this Water Elusive Stone.

A pretty smile appeared on her lips as she said softly, "As expected, it's here. Now that I have the Water Elusive Stone, I can set off!"

"It's her?"

In a well-concealed position, Chen Hao saw clearly that this girl was none other than Gu Yuxiao.

After he left the Dragon Temple, he went back to Yang Mansion and had a discussion with Yang Wei. At that time, he heard from the maid that Gu Yuxiao had left.

He knew that this girl was uncommon and was skilled in martial arts.

However, he did not expect that she was here to retrieve the Water Elusive Stone as well.

More importantly, it seemed that this girl knew the whereabouts of the Water Elusive Stone beforehand.

Chen Hao could not help but smile bitterly as he realized that he had saved his competitor unintentionally. Just when he was puzzling on how to show himself in front of Gu Yuxiao, an incident happened to her.

Roar!!!

A sickening roar could be heard suddenly. Gu Yuxiao was about to grab the Water Elusive Stone when a huge black figure appeared out of nowhere and pounded onto Gu Yuxiao while making a strange- sounding noise.

Before Gu Yuxiao's hand could reach the Water Elusive Stone, she was forced to dodge the attack. She jumped and rolled to the side.

At this moment, that black figure's appearance was revealed.

It was a bat.

To be precise, it was a giant bat which was even larger than a human.

Its head was as large as a human's head, but what made it frightening was it had extremely long red fur, and the buckteeth that were exposed made it look like it was a hideous, angry human. Saliva was dripping from this bat's mouth.

It was baring its teeth and glaring fiercely.

Roar!!!

After another strange roar, the giant bat pounded toward Gu Yuxiao.

It moved extremely quickly, and it was strong.

Gu Yuxiao managed to dodge its claw attack, but she failed to escape its tail attack. She was hit on the chest, which caused her to fly across the air before landing brutally on the ground.

Gu Yuxiao's wounds started to hurt again.

This time, streams of blood seeped out from her abdomen.

This giant bat obviously did not have the intention to stop its attacks. It was approaching Gu Yuxiao, preparing to enjoy its scrumptious meal.

Will I die here? That useless old man. I shouldn't have trusted him. I should have set his Taoist Temple on fire to prevent him from deceiving others. He even said that my marriage fate will be... Gu Yuxiao thought.

After she left the Dragon Temple, she did not waste even one second and went straight to the mountain behind the Ming Family's manor, where their ancestor's mine was located. She wanted to get the Water Elusive Stone.

But now, she was going to die here and be eaten by this strange beast.

Gu Yuxiao felt disgusted at this thought.

She took out a dagger that she had and closed her eyes. She was planning to end her life.

"I'm sorry, great grandmother. I failed to complete the task you entrusted me with. I'm sorry that I couldn't go to the Sea Palace!" After she said that, she was prepared to take her own life.

Suddenly, the giant bat let out a blood-curdling scream.

Following that scream was a noise of a heavy object collapsing onto the ground.

Gu Yuxiao opened her eyes.

She could not believe the scene she beheld. This giant bat was dead!

How could it be?

At this moment, Chen Hao showed himself.

"Hi, beautiful lady. I saved you once again!" Chen Hao looked at Gu Yuxiao and smiled.

"It's you!"

As soon as Gu Yuxiao saw Chen Hao, her pale face due to fear was overtaken by a tinge of redness.

On top of that, her eyes held an inexplicable hatred and even killing intention.

"We have the same objective. Are you going to the Sea Palace too?" Chen Hao asked.

When she mentioned the Sea Palace, Chen Hao had jumped in surprise.

"I don't know. Don't talk to me!"

Gu Yuxiao hoisted herself up and turned her head to another direction immediately.

This was because Master Ghost's view of her marriage fate echoed in her mind once again.

"Miss Gu, judging from the lines on the Marriage Stone, you have already met your beloved one. In addition, you have just separated from him not long ago!" Master Ghost explained.

Her beloved one? Who could it be?

Could it be... him? The person who was addressed as Young Master Chen by everyone?

"However..." Master Ghost shook his head.

"However what?"

"However, Miss Gu, although you will fall in love with him, he will not love you. Both of you don't have a future. It's a tragedy!" Master Ghost sighed.

"Old man, you're talking bullshit! Are you saying that I will be in love with a person who won't love me? Nonsense! I won't believe it!" Gu Yuxiao blasted angrily.

"It's a fact. You can't do anything about it!"

"A fact? If what you say is true, I absolutely will not allow it to happen. I will kill him to avoid future troubles. Then, I will come back to burn your Taoist Temple to ashes!"

After Gu Yuxiao finished, she stormed down the mountain with wrath and went straight to the mountain that was behind the Ming Family's manor.

She knew that Master Ghost was talking about Chen Hao.

But Gu Yuxiao thought, Even though he is handsome and he saved me, what makes him think that I will fall in love with him?

That was absolutely nonsense!

They would not even meet for the second time.

But what happened now was exactly the opposite. He had appeared in front of her and saved her again.

"You're injured, so it's best to move gently. This Water Elusive Stone is also useful to me, but I don't mind giving you some!" Chen Hao smiled as he spoke while reaching out to support her. Unexpectedly, Gu Yuxiao flung his hand away.

"Don't touch me!"

"You've got a temper. Nonetheless, this Water Elusive Stone belongs to the Chen Family now. How can you be so shameless even when you are stealing in front of its owner?" Chen Hao said helplessly. He then reached his arm out and grabbed the Water Elusive Stone. In the end, it was still his.

After that, Chen Hao turned away to leave.

"Wait!"

"What?"

"You said that you would give me some Water Elusive Stone!" Gu Yuxiao replied lightly. Although she had a slight urge to kill Chen Hao now, she knew she did not have the ability to do so. However, would she really fall in love with him?

"Alright, I'll give you one!"

The Water Elusive Stone looked slightly like the crystal stone which was made up of tiny pieces of stones.

This Water Elusive Stone might only be the size of a palm, but it could be separated into 1000 pieces.

Chen Hao gave Gu Yuxiao 3 pieces.

"I believe that we will meet again soon. Besides, I am also going to the Sea Palace. Do you want to go together?" Chen Hao felt that this girl was extremely suspicious.

After all, he only knew the matters of the Sea Palace through researching bit by bit on his own.

But judging from her words, it did not sound like she was going there simply to raid a tomb. It sounded like she was entrusted by someone to go there. Who could her great grandmother be? Could it be that her great grandmother knew some secrets? Chen Hao was eager to find out.

"I won't go with you. You can spare your thoughts!"

She then held her abdomen and walked out in a staggered pace.

At this moment, Chen Hao sniffed something.

His eyebrows raised in reflex. "Oh no! Come back now!"
