On the other side of the mountain, three people were anxiously searching the forest, not letting go of a single cave.
"Jinxiu, do you think Miss will be alright?”When Ruyi and the others were dealing with those people, it was inevitable that there were some loopholes that allowed some people to chase after them and escape.
"I won't, don't worry." Jin Xiu smiled at her, but that smile was uglier than crying.
"Let's go. If we still can't find Master and the others, I'll go down the mountain to get reinforcements.”Although Ming De firmly believed that nothing would happen, the worry in his heart continued to grow.
Don't say anything about the tears, don't complain about the times when you're thin. (Lijiang Yanxi) Separation Line------------------------------
The sky had already turned white, and the clouds had begun to disperse. The earth woke up from the night, and Yue Yinshuang slowly woke up. The light coming from outside the cave made her habitually block it with the back of her hand.
She slowly sat up, feeling her back ache. She tilted her head to look at him, who was still sleeping, and a faint smile could not help but appear on her lips.
She got up and tidied up her clothes before going out to look for food.
The man who was supposed to be lying behind her suddenly opened his eyes and stared blankly in the direction where she had disappeared.
"Why are there no animals on this mountain? It's really strange.”She mumbled as she walked. Suddenly, she saw a tree full of red fruits in front of her, so she walked over.
"I wonder if it's poisonous?" She stood in front of the tree and looked at the unusually red fruits.
She quickly took out a silver needle from her sleeve and stabbed it into the fruit she had just picked. Then, she carefully stared at the needle tip. Seeing that the tip of the needle did not turn black, she picked a few more and walked back the way she came.
Inside the cave, Murong Ling Xiang had already tidied up his clothes and sat upright.
He didn't understand why he had done those things to her last night, but since it had already happened, he would treat her well, but it wasn't about love.
He would never let her ruin his plan. If she betrayed him one day, he would never forgive her.
"You're awake." She stood at the entrance of the cave with her back to the light. There was no impurity in her eyes. She was kind and innocent.
"Yes." His voice was cold and distant.
"Come, eat this fruit. I've tried it. It's not poisonous.”She didn't care about his attitude. She walked up and squatted down, took his hand, and handed the fruit to him. Then, she stood up and walked out of the cave.
Looking at her back as she left, he felt very guilty. He had just eaten her up yesterday, but he treated her like this today. However, he did not get up to chase after her or explain anything. He just sat there, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
Yue Yinshuang couldn't help but sigh helplessly. She put her hand into her sleeve and took out a small bamboo tube. She pulled the string at the bottom of the tube, and a spark shot out into the sky. Then, it exploded in the air.
She believed that Jin Xiu and the others would find it. She knew their abilities the best. Now, all she had to do was wait.
Thus, she found a relatively clean place to sit down and fell into deep thought.
She didn't dare to expect him to like her or anything like that because they were enemies. Perhaps one day, they would have to face each other with swords and say to themselves, He absolutely could not fall in love.
Sure enough, not long after, Jin Xiu, Ruyi, and Ming De arrived. They saw her from afar and ran over.
"Fortunately, Miss is fine." Jin Xiu rushed forward and hugged her tightly, making her breathless.
"Yes." She hugged Jin Xiu back, a smile on her lips.
"And me, I'm also very worried.”Ruyi also went forward to hug the two of them.
At this moment, Murong Ling Xiang who was originally in the cave heard the noise and immediately stepped out of the cave.
"Master, I didn't protect you well." Ming De knelt on one knee and cupped his fists to apologize.
"It's none of your business. Those people had planned it all along. What I don't understand is who could accurately grasp my whereabouts. It seems that there is a traitor in the palace.”He felt that this person was around him, but he did not notice it.
"I will investigate immediately after returning to the palace." Ming De lowered his head and said.
"Let's return to the palace now." He raised his hand to signal Ming De to get up and said to her with his head tilted.
"Alright." She also agreed with his intention to return to the palace. Those people had failed this assassination attempt and would immediately plan another one. This journey would be very unsafe, so returning to the palace was the best way.
Just like that, the group of them rushed back to the Imperial Palace without stopping. They did not stop at all on the way and even bought dry rations to settle their meals in the carriage.
