"Do you think there’s sothing up on that cliff?"
Min Yi looked up toward the cliff shrouded in mist, but it was too high, and all he could see was the sheer rock face.
"This cliff..."
Qian Yizheng’s eyes flickered. It wasn’t impossible.
"Big Brother Min Yi, you stay down here with Nuonuo and the others, while Little Rong and I go up and take a look."
"G-go up?"
Min Yi was stunned by his words.
Although they were all cultivators, climbing such a high cliff was still sowhat difficult. The closer they got to the cliff, the stronger the pressure beca; he could feel it quite clearly.
Presumably, Qian Yizheng and the others felt it too. If the pressure increased, they might fall.
"How about I go up instead?" he suggested.
After all, he was an adult with sturdy bones; even if he fell, he wouldn’t die.
But Qian Yizheng and Qian Yirong were still children and had many soft bones. If they fell, it would be disastrous. He couldn’t bear the thought; he should be the one to go up.
"No need, Little Rong and I will go."
Qian Yizheng declined his suggestion, turning his attention to the little baby.
"Nuonuo."
"I know, you want the ribbon, right, eldest brother? Here you go."
Even before the eldest brother finished speaking, Little Nuonuo had already taken out the ribbon and handed it to him.
"Eldest brother, you and second elder brother be careful. Nuonuo will stay here and guard. I won’t wander off."
He wisely pre-empted any reminder from his eldest brother, believing that if he didn’t, the eldest brother would definitely caution him. In fact, he wasn’t always mischievous; at crucial monts like this, he was quite obedient.
"Hmm, okay."
Qian Yizheng nodded in satisfaction.
The little guy might be a bit mischievous, but he kept his word, just like his na suggested.
After getting the ribbon, he and Qian Yirong began their ascent, cooperating smoothly as they climbed higher, nearing the cloud-covered area.
Sweat the size of beans appeared on Qian Yirong’s forehead. His hands gripping the cliff turned slightly purple.
"Brother, the pressure here is getting stronger."
He looked up into the clouds, suspecting that the secrets of the Saintess Sect lay hidden within. Otherwise, where would such strong pressure co from? He thought he was quite adept at dealing with demonic beasts on Huayan Peak.
"Hmm, be careful."
Qian Yizheng replied shortly, his own forehead sweating as profusely as his younger brother’s.
"I know, I... Ah!"
Qian Yirong almost responded when his hand slipped, releasing his grip on the cliff.
Fortunately, Qian Yizheng had been watching and grabbed him just in ti, preventing any mishap. At that mont, they took out Nuonuo’s ribbon and continued climbing.
"Scared to death."
Below, Little Nuonuo patted his chest.
When he heard his second elder brother’s voice, he almost reached out to catch him. Fortunately, nothing happened.
"It’s so high."
"I reckon sothing valuable is secluded there," Min Yi said.
An Yilu and the others nodded in agreent; with a place like this, they wouldn’t believe there was nothing hidden there.
However, they wondered, if it was this difficult for Big Brother and Second Brother to climb, how could the hidden disciples of the Saintess Sect manage it? What thods could they use?
"Could it be that they have an easier way to climb up?"
