My family has been wielding knives for generations, but now it's my turn to wield a pen!

Inside Qingxin Garden.

Feng Jitong paced back and forth in the courtyard, looking like an ant on a hot pan.

Shortly after, a door next to them opened, and the eldest princess came out.

"Vice Sect!"

Upon seeing this, Feng Jitong immediately went to greet them: "Sect Master and Young Master Jiang have been down there for so many days, and it even rained heavily yesterday."

"The longer this matter drags on, the worse it will be for the two of them!"

"Oh well, what can we do?"

The eldest princess looked at the impatient Feng Jitong and sighed, "We simply can't get down that cliff!"

"Even if we manage to get down, getting back up is as difficult as climbing to the sky!"

At this point, the eldest princess paused, "Whether it's the Dragon Tiger Sect or our Hidden Edge Sect, I'm afraid only Senior Sister can move freely up and down there!"

"What if..."

Feng Jitong frowned deeply, and didn't dare to say the rest of his words.

"Don't worry, nothing bad will happen!"

The eldest princess spoke up, "I don't trust others much, but I know my senior sister better than you do."

"A mere cliff won't kill her. The real question is when the poison in her body will be cured!"

"only……"

"Just what?"

As Feng Jitong listened, his expression tightened again.

"Oh, it's nothing!"

The eldest princess shook her head again, but the expression on her face showed a hint of jealousy.

What she wanted to say was... it was too good for that jerk of a man!

That's right, she saw it clearly when Fu Yuanzong sprinkled the powder.

After she returned, she specifically looked it up again.

If nothing unexpected happens, that poison powder... should be the unique Locking Pulse Powder of the Western Desert.

This poison is extremely special, specifically designed to target highly skilled individuals.

The stronger one's internal strength, the greater the limitations one faces.

Fortunately, the Suomai Powder is not life-threatening, and its effects weaken after each episode of toxicity.

However, during this process, you will inevitably need someone to take care of you.

Her senior sister, on the other hand, had never had such contact with any man before.

Jiang Xiaobai is by my side again...

Gee!

"Alright, go ahead and do your thing!"

The eldest princess looked at Feng Jitong and said, "In any case, they'll be fine!"

"Why!"

Feng Jitong sighed as well.

Yes, although he was still worried, he had no other choice at the moment. He could only bow to the princess and turn to leave Qingxin Garden.

……

At this moment, at the bottom of the cliff.

Jiang Xiaobai carried Chu Qingci all the way uphill, and finally arrived at a relatively flat place.

This area is at a higher elevation and was not submerged by the river.

Jiang Xiaobai looked around and was quite satisfied with the place.

After placing Chu Qingci on a clean stone, Jiang Xiaobai turned around and went to get busy.

Jiang Xiaobai first went down into the river and caught two fish, and then found some wood and dry grass nearby that hadn't been wet by the rain.

Chu Qingci sat beside him, occasionally glancing at Jiang Xiaobai while adjusting her breathing.

When Chu Qingci saw Jiang Xiaobai pick up two pieces of wood, rub them together, and finally... smoke appeared, a look of curiosity appeared on her face.

A moment later, when Jiang Xiaobai lay there and blew a few breaths, the dry grass was ignited and flames gradually rose, Chu Qingci was even more shocked.

This was the first time she had ever seen such a method of starting a fire!

"Done!"

As they were talking, Jiang Xiaobai started preparing the grilled fish.

Half an hour later, the edges of the two fish were slightly charred, and a fragrant aroma wafted out.

"Come on, this grilled fish should taste better than yesterday's!"

Jiang Xiaobai picked up one of the strips, blew on it to cool it down, and handed it to Chu Qingci.

"Young Master Jiang!"

Chu Qingci took the food but didn't eat it immediately. Instead, she looked at Jiang Xiaobai and asked, "Where did you learn all this knowledge?"

Indeed, she had been pondering this question for a long time.

Jiang Xiaobai is young, yet he seems to have an inexhaustible supply of poetry, prose, and music.

now……

Even the way they start a fire is different from what ordinary people do.

"Oh……"

Jiang Xiaobai picked up another grilled fish, a smile on his face, and said, "I was born with this skill, it's innate!"

"Born with it?"

Chu Qingci looked completely puzzled.

She naturally wouldn't believe such an explanation.

Jiang Xiaobai clearly didn't intend to elaborate, and Chu Qingci didn't press further. She lowered her head and began to eat the grilled fish in her hand in small bites.

After the meal, Jiang Xiaobai told Chu Qingci to stay and rest, while he continued to explore the surrounding area along the river.

About half an hour later, Chu Qingci was sitting cross-legged and adjusting her breathing when she saw Jiang Xiaobai quickly fly over from a distance and land steadily beside her.

Chu Qingci had just opened her eyes and hadn't even had a chance to ask anything when Jiang Xiaobai picked her up.

"Come on, I've found a great place!"

Jiang Xiaobai, his face beaming with excitement, didn't give Chu Qingci a chance to ask any more questions. He picked her up and sped off in one direction.

Chu Qingci looked puzzled, but seeing Jiang Xiaobai so happy, she didn't ask any further questions.

After a stick of incense had burned, the two of them gradually slowed down.

When Jiang Xiaobai landed outside a wooded area with Chu Qingci in his arms, Chu Qingci looked up and her expression immediately showed surprise.

Ahead, there was a wooden house.

The wooden house wasn't large, and it was clear that it had weathered many storms.

Fortunately, the whole structure remains stable, and the roof is also intact.

"I never imagined that people would live in these deep mountains and forests."

As she spoke, Chu Qingci glanced around but found no one or any signs of activity.

"I was startled when I arrived!"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled, put Chu Qingci down, and then helped her into the wooden house.

squeak!

As the door opened, a dusty smell wafted out.

Although the room was covered in dust, the tables, chairs and wooden beds were arranged very neatly, and some long-rotted firewood was piled up in the corner.

Clearly, no one has been here for a long time.

"Hehe, we can stay here for the time being!"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled.

Having a roof to shelter from the wind and rain is much better than being under a tree or in a cave.

Chu Qingci nodded slightly, but the surprise on her face did not disappear. Holding onto the corner of the table, she slowly walked around the room, her gaze sweeping around from time to time.

She wanted to see if there was anything left here that could prove the owner's identity.

Unfortunately, apart from some simple utensils, there were no other items inside the wooden house.

Not to mention their identities, it's impossible to even determine whether the people living here are male or female.

After searching around, Chu Qingci had no choice but to give up.

Just then, Jiang Xiaobai's voice rang out from the side: "By the way, there's a tomb behind this wooden house!"

"tomb?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Qingci said, "Come on, take me there to see!"

"good!"

Jiang Xiaobai responded and came to Chu Qingci's side, bent down and picked her up.

Chu Qingci instinctively put her arm around Jiang Xiaobai's shoulder.

But as soon as she was held firmly in his arms, Chu Qingci's expression froze for a moment.

That's not right!

She can walk by herself now!

How...

She's still used to being carried by Jiang Xiaobai?!
