In Zhu Xian, people start to rise from plundering entries

Lu Xueqi nodded.

I found a clean rock and sat down.

Close your eyes and rest your mind.

Su Han and Bi Yao then walked towards the stream at the foot of the hill.

The afterglow of the setting sun bathed their figures in a golden light.

while walking.

Biyao finally couldn't help but speak up.

His tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction and grievance.

"Hey!

You and your junior sister Lu.

Isn't that a bit too good?

Su Han paused in his steps.

He turned his head to look at Biyao.

The girl puffed out her cheeks.

A pair of big eyes stared at him.

It was full of reproach.

He knew it.

Some helpless.

And then there were some inexplicable emotions.

“Biyao”.

Su Han stopped in her tracks.

Look at her intently.

"If it weren't for Junior Sister Lu triggering the power of the Heavenly Thunder at the crucial moment last night..."

We're afraid we'll have a hard time getting out of here.

"This aggravated her internal injuries."

"From both a moral and logical standpoint."

I can't ignore it.

Biyao snorted.

"I know!

but……

But you did it for her.

Are you willing to give up your life?

She was referring to Su Han lifting Lu Xueqi up the city wall.

The act of turning around and facing the enemy.

Su Han paused for a moment.

My gaze is fixed on the undulating mountains in the distance.

He slowly said, "The situation at that time."

That was the only option.

"If you were in danger..."

I would do the same.

His voice was not high.

Yet it carried an undeniable firmness.

Biyao was stunned.

Looking at Su Han's sharply defined profile.

The setting sun cast a deep shadow on his face.

Her heart.

He suddenly jumped several beats faster.

An indescribable warm current flowed through my entire body.

The previous grievances and bitterness.

It seemed to have been diluted in an instant.

"real……

real?"

She was somewhat uncertain.

The voice unconsciously softened.

Su Han turned her head.

Looking into her big, expressive eyes.

He nodded solemnly.

"of course."

I have said that.

I will do my best to protect you.

Biyao's pretty face instantly flushed red.

Fortunately, the setting sun provided some shade.

It doesn't look very real.

She lowered her head.

Grind the pebbles on the ground with your toes.

He mumbled in a voice barely audible, "Who..."

Who needs your protection...

"This girl is pretty amazing..."

But the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned.

But it betrayed her inner joy.

The two fetched water from the stream.

We picked some more wild fruits.

Return to the hillside.

Lu Xueqi remained seated in meditation.

They didn't seem to notice the time they were away.

But when she opened her eyes...

When he saw Su Han and Bi Yao walking back side by side.

His gaze lingered for a moment on Biyao's face, which was still flushed.

Then he moved away as if nothing had happened.

Night gradually enveloped the earth.

Su Hansheng started a small bonfire.

It dispelled the chill of the night.

It also serves to deter wild animals.

The three sat around the fire.

They ate simple wild fruits and dry rations.

The flames jumped.

It reflects three young faces that have already weathered the storms of life.

The atmosphere fell silent again.

But it's no longer the awkwardness and subtlety of before.

Rather, it is a kind of exhaustion and relaxation after surviving a catastrophe and enjoying temporary peace.

"Next."

What are your plans?

In the end, it was Biyao who broke the silence.

They looked at Su Han. Lu Xueqi also raised her head.

His gaze fell on Su Han.

Su Han poked at the fire.

Sparks crackled and popped.

"Let's go to that small fishing village I mentioned to take refuge for now."

"We need time to recover."

"It also needs to be clarified."

Who exactly is orchestrating all of this?

In his eyes.

A cold glint flashed across its face.

"Liupo Mountain".

We will have to go eventually.

"But before that."

We must be fully prepared.

Lu Xueqi said softly, "What Senior Brother Su said is absolutely right."

She paused.

He continued, "My injuries."

It will probably take three to five days of rest.

Only then could they barely suppress it.

It will not affect the operation.

Biyao also said, "My true essence should be almost fully restored by tomorrow."

Su Han nodded.

"it is good.

"Then let's go to the fishing village to rest for a few days."

The night is getting darker.

The wind in the wilderness carried a chill.

The firelight flickered in the darkness.

It felt as if it could be swallowed up by the surrounding darkness at any moment.

Yet it burns tenaciously.

When arranging the night watch order.

Su Han insisted on taking on both the first and last shifts.

Let the injured Lu Xueqi and the still recovering Biyao get more rest.

Lu Xueqi did not argue.

He silently walked to a rock that was sheltered from the wind not far away.

Lie down fully clothed.

Biyao wanted to say that she could keep watch at night.

But seeing Su Han's unwavering gaze...

I swallowed my words back.

He sat down not far from Lu Xueqi.

Hugging his knees.

He stared blankly at the flickering flames.

Su Han sat cross-legged beside the fire.

They kept watch at night.

He continued to exercise to recover.

His perception was like an invisible spider web.

It spread outwards.

Be vigilant against any disturbance.

The night was dark.

All sounds are silent.

The only sound was the crackling of the campfire.

And the chirping of unknown insects in the distance.

Lu Xueqi seemed to have fallen asleep.

Breathe evenly.

But the occasional slight furrowing of her brows showed that she was not entirely at ease.

Biyao kept her eyes open the whole time.

Looking at Su Han's profile, which appeared exceptionally resolute in the firelight.

I don’t know what I’m thinking about.

His gaze was sometimes filled with worry.

Sometimes I feel lost.

At other times, there is an indescribable firmness.

I don’t know how long it took.

Biyao finally succumbed to exhaustion.

Hugging his knees.

The head nods little by little.

She gradually drifted off to sleep.

Su Han opened her eyes.

He glanced at the two women who were fast asleep.

A soft sigh escaped my lips.

These two women.

Aloof and ethereal like a fairy.

A woman as beautiful as a demon.

Their backgrounds and identities are very different.

But all of them were due to various reasons.

To walk with him on this road full of unknowns and dangers.

future.

What will happen?
He looked up at the night sky.

Starry.

The Milky Way hangs low.

This vast world.

It seems to conceal endless secrets and challenges.

But he felt no fear.

Only with an even stronger belief.

No matter what difficulties and obstacles lie ahead.

He will keep going.

Protect those who deserve protection.

Make sure you understand what needs to be understood.

He closed his eyes again.

Continue adjusting your breathing.

At the same time, vigilance will be raised to the extreme.

In this unfamiliar wilderness.

He had to ensure the safety of the three of them. (End of Chapter)
