Balibao.
"Master, we’ve found out. Soone saw that man carrying the young master heading north. Our n have already gone after them!"
The person reporting cautiously held his breath, stealing glances at the Master’s expression. The man’s face revealed no joy or anger, as if all emotions were hidden beneath that elegant and handso facade.
Yixuan let out a heavy sigh and then mounted his horse in silence. Clearly, he couldn’t sit still any longer, unwilling to stay here waiting for news from his subordinates. He wanted to set out himself to find the person.
At the sa ti, Shujun and others galloped on horseback, eting a group of people head-on. These people appeared travel-worn, as if they were in a hurry to do sothing.
Shujun was a bit curious. With an inquisitive mind, it’s no wonder this person could grow such a big business, indicating his skills and capabilities. He had seen deceit and machinations and was well-versed in conspiracies, but despite his cunning, he retained a child-like innocent and lively nature.
However, the task at hand was more pressing, so he shook off his curiosity, shook his head, and continued leading his two brothers towards Balibao.
Yet, whether it was fate or destiny, suddenly another wave of a minor earthquake occurred after two hours.
It’s been months since the concentrated and terrifying earthquake and aftershocks. Both those who ca to provide disaster relief and the victims had adapted to their current lives, trying to forget the tragic and brutal deaths from the earthquake disaster, but the sudden occurrence of this minor earthquake caught everyone by surprise and filled them with dread.
Shujun and his party were unlucky; they were passing by a mountain during the earthquake and only heard the thunderous rolling of boulders, the ground cracking, and their horses falling.
"Lao Si, Little Wu!" Shujun’s face changed drastically. He shouted, instinctively looking at his two brothers behind him before a boulder crashed against his back.
Before losing consciousness, he seed to see a team in the distance, the leader dressed in white, but regrettably, he couldn’t make out their appearance. His vision grew blurrier, and a thought lingered in his mind.
It’s over.
This ti, he wasn’t sure if he would wake up again.
This ti, he’d worry his wife again.
Lao Si, Little Wu, he thought of his two brothers again, worrying in his heart and praying they were unhard.

When the minor earthquake occurred, Yixuan was startled. He was a bit farther away and wasn’t affected, but the team originally coming towards them was buried by the mountain rocks, leaving him dumbfounded, and then his heart felt like it was gripped by an invisible giant hand. He could only watch helplessly as the rocks fell.
"Lao Si, Little Wu!" Soone shouted during the earthquake. He was all too familiar with this voice, having listened to it for many years; it was his Third Brother’s voice.
"Master, are you alright?" The earthquake had startled the horses, and Yixuan’s face was very pale, his voice barely able to escape between his teeth, "Quick— save them!!"
The group didn’t understand why the Master’s expression suddenly changed so drastically, but the Master had already rushed towards those rocks first.
Elsewhere, Dong Huiying was not far from the minor earthquake. Her heart pounded loudly, as this wave of the earthquake happened on the way to Balibao.
"Shujun——!"
She was restless: "Zhi Chen, let’s go take a look!"
Zhi Chen was also uncertain, and Little Wuwang was awakened by this wave of the earthquake too.
