It must be said, at this mont, Princess Ata’s mouth was just as sharp as Xiaosui’s.
Because just after she finished speaking, she was the first to retreat in the direction of the Mountain Cave, and then entered the cave without a second thought.
Dugu Xiao saw that both he and Ji Youzhi were struggling to hold on, so he could only say, "Youzhi, let’s go into the Mountain Cave and pause for a while."
Ji Youzhi helplessly replied, "It’s useless; it won’t rain from the sky."
Look at this sky, clear and cloudless, how could it suddenly rain?
There’s no talking granddaughter of his here, who could make anything happen just by saying it?
However, just as he refused, a series of dragon roars suddenly resounded from above, followed by a rushing sound.
It sounded like boulders rolling, yet also like a rapid river!
"What sound is that?"
Dugu Xiao and a group of Nanjiang soldiers were all puzzled as they looked up.
Ji Youzhi quickly grabbed Dugu Xiao, "Get into the Mountain Cave quickly!"
Dugu Xiao asked in confusion, "What on earth is happening?"
Ji Youzhi glanced at Princess Ata, opened his mouth but said nothing, as a water curtain suddenly poured down at the cave entrance, thick and fast, lasting for a long ti.
It was as torrential as a dam breaking.
"Is it raining from the sky?"
Dugu Xiao craned his neck to look at the outside sky!
Ji Youzhi pulled at his shoulder.
"Don’t look, it’s Xiaoqing!"
"Hmm?"
Dugu Xiao still looked puzzled, but Princess Ata had already guessed sothing!
"Was that flying dragon just now called Xiaoqing?"
Ji Youzhi nodded, "Yes! Suisui gave it that na. This water probably ca from it spewing. Maybe Yun Kuo saw a fire here and worried about a forest fire, so he had it spray so water!"
Yun Kuo: I didn’t, stop lying!
Xiaoqing: A beautiful misunderstanding, I like it!
"It turns out it’s the Eldest Princess’s pet. No wonder ever since the dragon appeared, I’ve felt a glimr of hope for us, and I just communicated with the heavens for survival from death!"
Both Ji Youzhi and Dugu Xiao couldn’t help but twitch their lips slightly, and faintly said, "You and the National Master are both walking the road of great charlatans?"
Speaking of the National Master, Princess Ata always felt indebted to him, so she said, "I wonder how the National Master and the others are doing!"
"Don’t worry! Cultivators have many ways to preserve their lives. Besides, he helped us tear open an escape route, so it might not be anything less than seeking a chance of survival for himself!"
Dugu Xiao, who had studied military strategy since childhood, was prone to conspiracy theories, but this ti he was indeed right; the National Master had precisely this idea!
"But even so, it was due to his great help that we had this glimr of hope. If he hadn’t decisively acted then, we would surely have all died on the mountain."
Princess Ata said with a bitter smile.
Dugu Xiao remained silent upon hearing it.
Ji Youzhi said faintly, "Don’t worry! The National Master’s skill is not bad, plus he has a little Lucky Star disciple at his side, blessed with luck, it shouldn’t be so easy for him to die!"
When ntioning the ’little Lucky Star,’ Ji Youzhi’s whole being was gnashing his teeth."
Even though Li Yanyan is not a little Lucky Star in the true sense, the second sister-in-law once said that Li Yanyan was born on the sa day as Xiaosuisui, which ans she more or less got a touch of Xiaosuisui’s luck, and is more blessed than most in this world.
This little girl, you want her to die early?
Three words, ’Not possible’!
At this ti, the National Master and Li Yanyan, who were in everyone’s thoughts, had already fallen apart. One was unconscious, the other covered in blood, swept down the mountainside by Xiaoqing’s water, landing directly in a pond, and had just been found by Xiaoqing.
The other had rolled down along the mountain path, getting caught by the roots of a large tree halfway up the mountain, and had just been discovered by Yun Kuo.
"How could the National Master’s little disciple be so badly injured?"
When Yun Kuo saw Li Yanyan, he was completely shocked.
The small, curled-up girl was lying on the ground, covered in blood. She lay face down with her back exposed. The blood ca from her back.
With urgency, Yanyan rushed forward and gently checked her breath, "Luckily, there’s still hope!"
He hurriedly examined Li Yanyan’s injuries, finding a long knife scar running across her entire back!
