Mu Xiao heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing Hong Feiyun. “I came to find you. Did Left Emissary give you a hard time?”

Hong Feiyun replied, “No, I promised to help him find someone to cure his son. As long as his son is healed, he will let bygones be bygones.”

Mu Xiao expressed his concern, “Where will you find someone? Let me go with you.”

Hong Feiyun declined, “No need, I should go alone. I cannot delay your affairs.”

Mu Xiao felt a warmth in his heart, knowing only Feiyun would always think of him first, “It’s no trouble, I’ve already arranged my matters.”

Behind them, Hong Feiyu landed, spotting them standing close together, she couldn’t hide her jealousy, “Talking about finding someone? I didn’t expect you to be here for a secret rendezvous!”

Hong Feiyun thought to herself, if Hong Feiyu couldn’t see reason, she might have to eliminate her, “Feiyu, you’re mistaken, there’s nothing between us.”

Hong Feiyu’s eyes reddened as she looked at them, her face full of hurt, “What misunderstanding? I see everything clearly. Sister, you really broke my heart.”

Hong Feiyun was speechless, “He followed me here on his own. I didn’t ask him to come, and as you see, we were only talking.”

Hong Feiyu, visibly hurt, retorted, “Clearly you came here for a date. You even said you’d leave him to me, are you trying to humiliate me?”

“I swear to heaven, I truly meant it.” Hong Feiyun pushed Mu Xiao towards Hong Feiyu, “You two love each other, go ahead.”

After saying that, Hong Feiyun swiftly flew away, finding love-struck women too frightening.

Mu Xiao cared about Hong Feiyun. After steadying himself, he immediately chased after her, “Feiyun, wait for me.”

Hong Feiyu stomped her foot, watching them leave, her teeth clenched in anger, “You hurt me so, I will not let you go.”

Her love turned into hatred.

Seeing Mu Xiao persistently following, Hong Feiyun had no choice but to stop, “What do you really want?”

Mu Xiao’s gaze was fixed on Hong Feiyun, almost losing her once before, he wouldn’t be careless this time, “I will go with you to find the person.”

Hong Feiyun said, “I want to go alone.”

Mu Xiao insisted, “I can’t rest easy.”

Annoyed by his persistence, Hong Feiyun swiftly moved behind Mu Xiao, knocking him out cold, and tossed him aside, “So annoying! Where’s your reason?”

Zeng Huo returned, finding Mu Xiao unconscious, his heart skipping a beat, “What did you do?”

Hong Feiyun glanced at Mu Xiao, “He was pestering me, so I knocked him out.”

Zeng Huo, “…”

He handed peanut candy to Hong Feiyun, asking cautiously, “Is this enough? Shall I buy more tomorrow?”

“It’s enough.” Hong Feiyun tossed a peanut candy into her mouth, chewing the familiar taste, “Let’s go.”

Zeng Huo paused, “Where to?”

“To find someone.” Hong Feiyun flew off to one side.

Zeng Huo hurried after her, leaving with a sympathetic glance at Mu Xiao, “Ah, better not pester Hong Feiyun anymore, or you’re just asking for trouble.”

…

Du Zhaolin lifted the curtain of the carriage, speaking to the coachman, “Why haven’t we arrived yet?”

The coachman, not daring to offend Du Zhaolin, hurriedly replied, “Soon, just a stick of incense more.”

“A stick of incense more, do you even know how to drive a carriage?” Du Zhaolin, impatient, snatched the whip and lashed it across the horse’s back.

The horse, in pain, bolted suddenly, terrifying Du Zhaolin, his body repeatedly hitting against the carriage, tears welling in his eyes from the unexpected tumult.

Inside, the passengers were tossed about chaotically, screams continuously erupting.

Jiang Zhanglin wished he could kill Du Zhaolin right there, dying before achieving his revenge, unwilling to accept this fate!

His only thought as they plunged into darkness was hoping someone would come to their rescue.

Time seemed to stretch on forever until the carriage finally came to a stop, its passengers slowly regaining consciousness, each sporting bumps on their heads, bodies bruised all over, utterly disheveled.

Yi Chuanchuan kicked Du Zhaolin, “Are you trying to get us killed? If you want to die, don’t drag us down with you!”

Du Zhaolin dared not retaliate, truly feeling like he was on the brink of death, “I-I didn’t do it on purpose.”

Nearly dying young, Yi Chuanchuan was furious, “You fool, all you know is to eat, drink, and be merry, what good are you? Always causing more trouble than you’re worth!”

Jiang Zhanglin climbed out of the carriage with difficulty, “What exactly did you do outside?”

Du Zhaolin shrank his neck, “I just whipped the horse, didn’t expect this to happen.”

Jiang Zhanglin had nothing to say in his defense, “You really are a fool, no words for you!”

Rong Shenning jumped down from the carriage, then simply sat on the ground to rub his foot, “You almost killed us, why did you have to whip the horse? If you wanted to go faster, you should have just asked the coachman!”

Looking around, he asked, “Where’s the coachman?”

Du Zhaolin weakly responded, “When the carriage lost control, the coachman jumped off.”

Jiang Zhanglin’s mouth twitched, “Really foresighted of him.”

Yi Chuanchuan looked around the dense forest, feeling increasingly uneasy, then broke the ongoing chatter, “Where are we now?”

“I’ll go up to the peak to check. Wait here for me.” Jiang Zhanglin went back to the carriage to retrieve a map, then headed towards the mountain peak.

“Only by knowing where we are can we figure out which way to go.”

“I’ll go with you.” Yi Chuanchuan trusted Jiang Zhanglin the most, and also didn’t want to stay with the disaster-prone Du Zhaolin; she would inevitably end up wanting to hit him.

The two climbed towards the peak together.

Yi Chuanchuan suddenly stopped Jiang Zhanglin, “Be quiet, there’s a bear ahead.”

Jiang Zhanglin tensed up, “How could there be a bear?”

Yi Chuanchuan gestured for him to crouch down, and both slowly squatted, hiding in the bushes, avoiding the bear’s sight.

A slight oversight and they would end up as bear food. Jiang Zhanglin’s sweat dripped down, whispering, “What do we do now?”

Yi Chuanchuan whispered back, “Don’t panic, wait a bit, the bear might leave on its own.”

Jiang Zhanglin was nervous; this was his first time seeing such a large animal up close, the sight alone was oppressive.

At that moment, Rong Shenning arrived, asking loudly, “What are you guys hiding here for?”

His shout scared Jiang Zhanglin and Yi Chuanchuan out of their wits.

Then, heavy footsteps approached—no need to ask, it was the black bear they had seen earlier.

Jiang Zhanglin reacted quickly, grabbing Yi Chuanchuan and running towards Rong Shenning, then the three of them sprinted up the mountain together.
