Ye Qichi hurriedly took off his clothes and used them to extinguish the last trace of fla, then quickly helped Bai Mowan up and hid at the entrance of the cave.
The two were extrely tense, trying hard to remain calm as they heard footsteps getting closer and closer outside the cave.
Ye Qichi had a dart pinched between his fingertips.
The weapon Xie Ruotong had chosen for her.
Although she hadn’t mastered it to perfection, launching a surprise attack shouldn’t be difficult.
The atmosphere beca increasingly oppressive.
Ye Qichi’s fingers twitched slightly.
As the person approached the cave.
Ye Qichi’s dart shot out directly.
As soon as it flew, a loud clashing sound could be heard—the sound of the dart striking against a sword scabbard, the sound of steel on steel.
So.
Her dart was precisely blocked by soone.
Ye Qichi clenched her teeth.
Just as she was about to step forward and engage in combat.
"It’s !" A familiar voice suddenly sounded.
Ye Qichi and Bai Mowan both paused for a second.
"Brother Xiao?" Bai Mowan called out.
"Wan’er." Xiao Jinxing also called her.
Her eyes reddened and her nose tingled.
They had thought they were in jeopardy.
After all, with Ye Qichi’s martial arts, she couldn’t be defeated by just anyone.
And yet, she was now severely injured.
Ye Qichi also took a deep breath of relief at this mont.
It was fortunate that Xiao Jinxing was the one who ca first.
If it had been soone else, it would have been very difficult for them to leave alive.
Xiao Jinxing walked into the cave.
Bai Mowan threw herself directly into his arms.
Having just escaped from disaster, Bai Mowan seed to care little for so-called etiquette, wanting only to hold onto Xiao Jinxing tightly.
To tell him that she wasn’t dead.
Xiao Jinxing, of course, was also hugging Bai Mowan tightly, as if offering her warmth, and said softly, "I’m here now, don’t be afraid."
"Mhm." Bai Mowan nodded vigorously in Xiao Jinxing’s embrace.
Indeed, it was the arrival of Xiao Jinxing that brought her peace of mind at this mont.
The two of them didn’t know how long they hugged.
Ye Qichi actually didn’t interrupt.
She was quite content observing the profound emotional reunion between the male and female leads.
It was just that it was a bit cold.
Because she had used her cotton-padded jacket to extinguish the flas during the ergency, and now the cold wind blew into the cave, making her sneeze involuntarily, "Achoo!"
With a sneeze.
Xiao Jinxing seed to notice Ye Qichi for the first ti.
Bai Mowan seed to awkwardly rember that Ye Qichi was there.
And right now, she was in the arms of Ye Qichi’s husband.
She hurriedly withdrew from Xiao Jinxing’s embrace.
Xiao Jinxing also turned to see Ye Qichi.
Ye Qichi shivered, rubbing her arms, "You continue, I’ll go and look for so dry firewood."
Thinking that they should wait until dawn to leave.
"How co you are here?" Xiao Jinxing asked.
He was sowhat surprised to find Ye Qichi and Bai Mowan together.
Right.
There were three people missing from today’s hunt.
Xiao Jinyan, Ye Qichi, Bai Mowan.
The Imperial Palace had mobilized everyone to search for them.
He had guessed that Bai Mowan and Ye Qichi might both be in danger, but he hadn’t expected them to be together.
"After leaving the Crown Prince, I was ambushed and assassinated. By chance, Princess Chen passed by and saved . While we were being pursued, we fell down a steep slope, and it was Princess Chen who treated my wounds. Now, we are in this cave, waiting for you to rescue us," Bai Mowan hurriedly replied.
Her tone carried gratitude towards Ye Qichi.
Xiao Jinxing looked towards Ye Qichi.
In the darkness, it was actually hard to see her clearly.
Ye Qichi could feel Xiao Jinxing’s gaze and said indifferently, "No need to thank , the healer’s heart."
Xiao Jinxing pursed his lips.
Ye Qichi turned to walk out of the cave entrance.
"Wait." Xiao Jinxing called her.
Ye Qichi frowned.
"We leave tonight," Xiao Jinxing said.
"How? Bai Mowan is injured, and not lightly," Ye Qichi reminded.
And it was pitch dark, impossible to see clearly.
"I ca alone precisely because I was worried there would be malicious intent hidden among the guards in the search party," Xiao Jinxing stated aningfully, "In the chaos, it would be an excellent opportunity to commit murder."
"You an, Xiao Jinsen might order soone to kill Bai Mowan after finding her," Ye Qichi said bluntly.
"It’s not impossible," Xiao Jinxing stated, "Because Wan’er called off the engagent, Xiao Jinsen definitely won’t let her off easily."
Ye Qichi nodded.
She agreed with Xiao Jinxing’s view.
Xiao Jinsen would not actively kill Bai Mowan, but now that she was already in trouble, he would take the opportunity to deal a death blow, which indeed sounded like a well-calculated move.
