On the mountain of Ze Gan in Yongzhou, the country of Wei.

A figure curled up in the cave, shivering.

Lu Ningxiang had not had a good sleep for three days. As the number of pursuers increased day by day, she could not go to any inhabited places at all. She could only hide in this cave and barely survive.

But now, even in the valley, the number of people searching for her had gradually increased. There were so many that she could already foresee the day she was captured.

The cave was especially cold after the rain. Lu Ningxiang, whose clothes were extremely wet, let out a breath of cold air and rubbed her stiff hands with all her strength.

However, this rubbing did not bring her any warmth. Instead, she felt that her body was getting colder and colder.

At this moment, she really wanted to start a fire to warm her body, but she did not dare to do so because it would attract the people who were searching for her.

In her despair, Lu Ningxiang took out a simple stick from her bosom.

“If you encounter any danger again, hold this stick tightly and silently say, I believe in light.”

Lu Ningxiang did not want to trouble this stranger who had saved her once and even dragged him into this big trouble.

However, she was really at her wit’s end. Other than this stranger, she could not find anyone else who was willing to help her.

“I’m sorry, please.”

Lu Ningxiang held the lot tightly with both hands and said, “I believe in light!”

“Phew… Hiss…Phew… Hiss…”

Lu Ningxiang did not feel any change in the stick as she breathed in and out. It was still as simple and unadorned as ever.

‘ Pata.”

A tear fell on the stick, followed by a second, a third…

The unresponsive stick was like the last straw that crushed Lu Ningxiang, causing him to sink into complete despair. The sorrow and pain that he had suppressed for many days suddenly surged out.

“If you have something to say, say it. Don’t cry.”

Just as Lu Ningxiang was about to lose control of herself and was about to burst into tears, an unfamiliar and warm voice suddenly sounded in her mind.

‘It’s him…lt’s him!

She quickly wiped her tears and replied,””l’m sorry, sir. I… I need your help

“Tell me about your current situation.”

“Alright.’

Lu Ningxiang took a deep breath and began to describe her situation.

Halfway through, the voice in her mind interrupted her,””ln short, they haven’t found you yet, right?”

“Yes.” Lu Ningxiang nodded. “Stay where you are.”

“Alright, alright…”

A moment later, Lu Ningxiang tried asking in a low voice,””Sir?” There was no response. It was as if the voice in her head was an illusion.

‘No…lt’s definitely not an illusion!

With this belief, Lu Ningxiang waited silently until her body grew colder and her consciousness became more and more blurry.

“Sir…Are you still there? I want to sleep for a while… Just for a while.”

“Eat a little before you sleep.”

Lu Ningxiang, whose eyes were almost closed, was startled by this sudden response. She felt that the voice was especially real this time, as if it did not come from her mind.

In the next second, she felt a wave of warmth sweep over her, driving away all the coldness in her body.

In her shock, Lu Ningxiang opened her eyes and shouted in surprise,” Sir!?”

Lu Ningxiang could hardly believe what was happening before her eyes. The teacher who had saved her in the inn that day had suddenly appeared in front of her and even started a fire.

Shocked, Lu Ningxiang rushed forward to put out the fire, but was stopped by Jiang Beiran.

“Don’t worry, I’ve already set up a formation in this cave. The people outside can’t see us.”

Hearing his words, Lu Ningxiang instantly felt relieved and sat down on the ground.

Tossing a set of clean clothes to Lu Ningxiang, Jiang Beiran hung a curtain at the corner of the cave and said,””Change your clothes.”

“Thank… Thank you.”

Nodding at Jiang Beiran, Lu Ningxiang picked up her clothes and walked behind the curtain.

While changing, Lu Ningxiang still felt like she was dreaming. The next second, the warmth brought by the clean fur coat made her pray in her heart.

‘If this is a dream, please don’t wake me up.’

Not long after, Lu Ningxiang, who had changed into a fur coat, walked out from behind the curtain. At the same time, she saw that a pot had been set up on the bonfire, and it seemed to be stewing something.

At this moment, Lu Ningxiang, who had recovered a lot, bowed deeply to Jiang Beiran and said,””Thank you for your help. If it weren’t for you in time…”

“There’s no need to say this. Come and sit.”

“Yes.” Lu Ningxiang replied and sat on a small stool beside the fire.

“Come, eat a piece of cake to fill your stomach first. “Jiang Beiran said as he handed Lu Ningxiang a pancake.

Lu Ningxiang’s eyes lit up the moment she saw the pancake. However, she did not lose her decorum. After expressing her gratitude to Jiang Beiran, she took the pancake with both hands.

When she picked up the pancake, Lu Ningxiang ate the first bite very reservedly. She only took a small bite, but when she tasted the fragrance of the pancake, she could no longer hold back. The second and third bites became bigger and bigger.

Seeing Lu Ningxiang wolfing down the food, Jiang Beiran opened the lid of the pot and scooped some hot water into a bowl before handing it to her..
