“You said Long Xinghe might be from the same era as you?”
Feng Yexuan lowered his gaze, staring at her small, palm-sized face.
“This so-called hot air balloon, it’s from your era. If we were to fly up in it directly, I wonder if it would be seen by those above.”
No one knew the situation above the cliff right now.
What if they were ambushed nearby? Such a large hot air balloon, those people couldn’t possibly miss it.
Once they reported back, Chu Qianli’s identity would be exposed without a doubt.
“But in reality, the way she looked at me that night, I suspected I had already been exposed.”
Just like how Chu Qianli’s gaze and demeanor towards Long Xinghe made her feel she hadn't misjudged.
Intuition, whether for her or Long Xinghe, was something they both relied on heavily.
“I’m fine, let’s get up there first.”
It was all superficial wounds; for him, it was nothing.
Chu Qianli wanted to say more, but Feng Yexuan had already grabbed her by the waist and leaped up, “Hold on tight, I won’t be responsible if you fall!”
Her body was suddenly suspended in mid-air, and Chu Qianli had no extra energy to think about anything else.
She could only immediately hold onto his waist, flying up towards the cliff top with him.
Lightness skill, truly magical.
On the way up, Chu Qianli realized again that her lightness skill was still leagues behind Feng Yexuan’s.
They were not on the same level at all.
Soon, they landed steadily on the cliff.
Chu Qianli immediately took a few steps back, about to check on Feng Yexuan’s condition.
Unexpectedly, Feng Yexuan turned back and glared at her, his face displeased, “Are you that afraid of being close to me?”
“I didn’t mean that, I just…”
“Hmph!” He turned and left, giving her no chance to explain.
Chu Qianli felt a bit helpless.
She just wanted to see if the wounds on his body had split open, if any blood was seeping out.
This man, his pride was so strong, his dignity, others couldn’t even touch it.
So difficult to get along with!
In the end, she could only walk silently behind him.
Last night, in order to escape the wolf pack, they had moved too hastily, and she hadn’t had time to get a clear look at their surroundings.
Chu Qianli walked out of a patch of mountain forest and was about to take out her drone to survey the terrain when Feng Yexuan suddenly stopped.
Chu Qianli’s fingertips paused as she looked at his back.
Prince Xuan’s alertness was definitely the most acute among everyone she had ever met.
As expected, she soon began to sense something unusual as well.
“It’s the dense forest ahead.” Chu Qianli walked behind him, looking up at the mountain forest in front of them.
It seemed they hadn’t taken a wrong turn. After passing through this dense forest and crossing this mountain range, they would reach the foot of Langya Peak.
But this forest was clearly already ambushed by many people.
From such a distance, honestly, if it were Chu Qianli herself, she might not have detected it immediately.
It was truly too far.
“This is the only path to Langya Peak.”
She walked behind Feng Yexuan, looking up at his perfect, handsome face hidden by the mask.
“Wei Qiong told me there was no other way.”
It was precisely because of this that General Wei Xian had lived on Langya Peak for many years, and the Empress’s assassins had failed to capture her.
Otherwise, with Long Tianliu’s methods, how could someone who threatened her position be allowed to live this long?
“Those ambushing in the first half are either Long Xinghe’s or Long Tianliu’s people, and the latter half will definitely be Wei Xian’s own soldiers.”
Feng Yexuan nodded, his gaze fixed on the distant forest, his eyes narrowing.
“I gave you the Yi Jin Jing and Xi Sui Jing, and you’ve wasted them like this?”
“Uh?” Chu Qianli was a little taken aback. Where did this come from?
Why was this brought up at this moment, and what did it mean?
However, in her Qiankun Chain, there was indeed a Xi Sui Jing and an Yi Jin Jing.
She hadn’t expected that they were given by him.
Both were rare treasures in this world!
“I’ve been on the road all this time and haven’t had a chance to properly read them.”
But she should have been practicing them before, otherwise, with the internal energy given to her by Consort Yu and the true qi transmitted by another unknown person, she wouldn’t have been able to fuse the two streams of true qi so easily.
That other unknown person…
Chu Qianli couldn’t help but look up at his profile.
Her heart inexplicably stirred.
The person who had circulated energy for her and transmitted true qi… her head began to ache again.
Chu Qianli immediately collected her thoughts, not daring to think further.
She finally seemed to have discovered a pattern: it wasn’t that every memory caused a headache, but rather, anything related to him, if she tried to recall it, her head would inevitably hurt.
When would this damned soul-capturing technique be broken?
“With such poor lightness skill, reading those two scriptures more would do you good.”
Feng Yexuan strode forward.
Chu Qianli responded and quickly followed him, feeling a bit puzzled, “Fourth Brother, you know there’s an ambush ahead, yet you’re still going to charge in?”
“Don’t you have any other choice?”
This question completely stumped Chu Qianli.
Of course not, as she had said, this was the only way.
Seeing Feng Yexuan entering the forest ahead, Chu Qianli couldn’t think of anything else and could only follow him in.
The atmosphere inside the forest was very strange, with a heavy killing intent.
But what surprised Chu Qianli was why this killing intent felt familiar?
“Fourth Brother, be careful!” she whispered a reminder.
Feng Yexuan remained silent, still walking in front of her, exactly three steps away, protecting her under his wing.
Chu Qianli wanted to remind him that his injuries weren’t healed yet, and it was her turn to protect him now.
But on second thought, he probably wouldn’t agree.
She could only follow closely behind him, constantly paying attention to the movements around them.
The deeper they went into the forest, the stronger the intense aura became.
But Chu Qianli still felt that this killing intent was very familiar.
The more intense it became, the more profound the sense of déjà vu!
Suddenly, a cold glint flashed from above.
Without a second thought, purely on instinct, Chu Qianli grabbed Feng Yexuan’s large hand.
“Heavenly Net! Fourth… Sir, dodge to the left!”
Feng Yexuan had just managed to discern the enemy’s attack method, and he hadn’t expected this woman to know the escape route.
He shifted his steps, leaping up in unison with her, and instantly slid to the left.
Several nets with barbs instantly landed on the spot where they had just stood.
Judging by these nets, once one touched those barbs, it would be absolutely difficult to break free.
The Heavenly Net, layer upon layer, touching any layer of barbs would easily trap one within!
These nets were so powerful!
Chu Qianli’s heart trembled slightly.
She finally knew why this killing intent felt so familiar.
Because the Heavenly Net was a combat method she had developed in the Wolf Domain in the 21st century!
Damn Long Xinghe, using her tactics to attack her!
“The archers must be in position!” Chu Qianli grabbed Feng Yexuan’s hand again, “Sir, to the right, go!”
