"Young Lord, they are already resting," Mo Yang said in a deep voice.
"Hmm," Mu Qingge nodded almost imperceptibly, "For the remaining ti, let them play slowly in the forest. We’ll go ahead and et the Young Master of the Wanxiang Building."
As the words fell, a cold gleam flashed through Mu Qingge’s clear and profound eyes.
The group rose and followed in silence.
More than twenty people walked through the forest skillfully, heading towards the forest exit.
Outside the forest was the outskirts of Yu Zhi Town. As Mu Qingge led her people there, a carriage on the official road was also heading to Yu Zhi Town.
In the dim night, a black shine streaked across the sky.
’Coo coo——!’
The cry of a hawk sounded above the carriage.
From inside the moving carriage, a well-defined, perfectly proportioned hand suddenly extended out from the curtain. The skin was smooth and delicate, flawlessly fair.
The hand dropped casually. A black light swooped down, targeting that perfect hand.
In the blink of an eye, a completely black hawk landed on the index finger of that hand, its sharp talons tightly gripping it, affectionately pecking the palm with its sharp beak a few tis.
The large hand brought the hawk inside the carriage.
Soon after, the curtain was lifted again, the hawk spread its wings, flew into the night sky, and vanished into the darkness.
The carriage continued to move forward, neither hurriedly nor slowly.
Not long after, lazy low laughter ca from inside the carriage, a sound so alluring that it was irresistible. The people riding along on horses were startled, imdiately drawing closer to the window.
"Tell them to speed up. Such an interesting little one, I’m really quite eager," the lazy and deep voice was heard again.
The rider accepted the order and imdiately instructed the driver, "Speed up!"
Upon hearing this, the driver imdiately raised the whip high and whacked the horses’ backs hard, driving the four horses to gallop faster along the official road.
As the carriage accelerated, the four riders behind also quickly picked up their pace, tightly following along.
"Head to that forest on the outskirts of Yu Zhi Town," the person in the carriage spoke again.
Initially, they were heading to Yu Zhi Town, but now they suddenly changed plans. What happened? The four riders were puzzled. What could have made their Young Master, who never easily abandoned a decision, change his mind?
Two groups headed for the forest outside Yu Zhi Town.
anwhile, another group was still searching in the forest, their hearts filled with fear, gradually approaching the forest exit.
On the seventh day in the forest, Mu Qingge, with the Dragon Tooth Guards, had already reached the edge of the forest exit. In just half an hour, they would be able to walk out of this vast forest.
"Young Lord, we’re almost out of the forest," Mo Yang said to Mu Qingge.
Mu Qingge lightly nodded, looking at the sunlight streaming through the forest exit, her expression calm, making it hard to tell what she was thinking.
With hands behind her back, she walked leisurely toward the exit.
The Dragon Tooth Guards and the two maids, You He, closely followed her, resembling a group on an outing.
anwhile, the pursuing squad stuck in the forest, after several days of tension, noticed that ’incidents’ were gradually decreasing, and once again confidently chased towards the forest exit.
The trailing followers did not affect Mu Qingge’s mood at all. As she walked out of the forest, the sunlight bathed her, prompting her to lift her head, close her eyes, and enjoy the leisurely indulgence of the sun.
