"Shut up. They don’t need you to scout ahead. Just stay at ho and behave. If you dare defy , I’ll break your leg."
"Fine, you’re tough!" Luo Lan stord off angrily.
Watching his daughter leave, Luo Feng’s eyes dimd a bit. He turned and looked down over the cliff, then strode back to the village.
Below the cliff, after the Luo family father and daughter left, Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng each grabbed a rope and slowly climbed up the cliff.
Even though they had ropes and hand guards, climbing the more than one thousand ter-high cliff was still quite strenuous. Fortunately, while the cliff was high and steep, it wasn’t too smooth; they could find footing and even so protruding spots to pause and rest occasionally.
The couple climbed up while encouraging each other, along with Captain Niu and his team assisting by pulling the rope from above. After more than an hour, the couple finally reached the top of the cliff.
Seeing the two of them erge, Captain Niu and his team imdiately extended their hands to pull them up.
Once they reached the cliff top, Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng were utterly exhausted. Especially Jiang Xue, who seed even more worn out due to the loss of her Spiritual Power.
Seeing this, Mu Qiancheng was distressed and asked, "Honey, are you tired? Do you want to rest for a bit before we leave?"
"I’m fine!" Jiang Xue shook her head, glanced at Captain Niu and his team, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Captain Niu."
"Sister-in-law, no need to thank us, we’re the ones who should be grateful." Captain Niu waved his hand. If Jiang Xue hadn’t jumped off the cliff, they would still be at a loss.
At this mont, the doctor who ca with Captain Niu and his team stepped forward and said to Mu Qiancheng and Jiang Xue, "Mr. Mu, Sister-in-law, let examine you both."
Jiang Xue frowned at his words, but Mu Qiancheng gave her a reassuring look. Seeing Mu Qiancheng’s expression, Jiang Xue allowed the doctor to proceed with the examination.
After examining Jiang Xue, the doctor checked Mu Qiancheng as well. Once sure that both were fine, the doctor was incredulous.
He’d heard about the cliff being over a thousand ters high and clearly saw Jiang Xue jump off it that day. He thought she would be smashed to pieces, yet Jiang Xue was completely unscathed, except for so fatigue.
Mu Qiancheng was in great shape too.
What was going on? Could it be that they had so extraordinary encounter at the bottom of the cliff, like eting a martial arts master or soone with excellent dical skills?
"How are they?" Captain Niu asked worriedly after the doctor finished the examination. Although Mu Qiancheng and Jiang Xue said they were fine, he still worried they might be hiding sothing.
"Mr. Mu and Sister-in-law are in good health, just fatigued and a bit tired," the doctor replied with a smile.
After speaking, he looked curiously at Mu Qiancheng and Jiang Xue and asked, "Mr. Mu, Sister-in-law, did you have any significant encounter at the bottom of the cliff?"
"Encounter?" Jiang Xue was taken aback, looked at the military doctor, and asked, "What do you an?"
"Sister-in-law, forgive my bluntness. This cliff is so high, and you couldn’t possibly have jumped off without getting hurt. Yet, you are perfectly fine, which makes wonder if there’s sothing extraordinary at the bottom."
"Oh, that’s what you an!" Jiang Xue smiled and said, "There’s an isolated village at the bottom, called Taoyuan Village. The villagers have a doctor, and both Qiancheng and I were rescued by them."
