The next day, a red sun rose slowly and a new day began. Meng Kexin washed her face, brushed her teeth and combed her hair with Cui'er's help.

Everything else is easy, but combing her hair is a huge problem for Meng Kexin.

Cui Er was holding a wooden comb and gently combing Meng Kexin's hair. But Meng Kexin's hair was very naughty, with a strand sticking up here and a tangled knot there.

Meng Kexin looked at herself in the mirror helplessly, wondering why her hair was so difficult to comb.

She couldn't help but think of the modern times when she could just comb her hair a few times and go out.

"Miss, your hair looks so beautiful." Cui'er said as she combed her hair.

Meng Kexin smiled, but thought to herself: What's the point of looking good? It's still so difficult to take care of.

Finally, thanks to Cui'er's efforts, her hair was finally combed. Meng Kexin looked at her neat hairstyle in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction.

As soon as Meng Kexin came out of the tent, she saw Ye Muyuan. She smiled and greeted him, "Good morning, Brother Ye!"

Ye Muyuan also nodded to her, "Good morning! Did you have a good rest last night, Miss Meng?"

"I had a good rest. Thank you for your concern, Brother Ye." Meng Kexin replied with a smile. She looked up at the sky and said, "The weather is really nice today. It's perfect for a walk."

"Yeah, that's what I was planning." Ye Muyuan said, pointing to a small hill not far away. "The scenery over there is nice. We can go and see it together."

"Okay!" Meng Kexin agreed happily. The two of them walked towards the hill together. Along the way, they talked and laughed, the atmosphere relaxed and cheerful.

Climbing the hill, Meng Kexin looked out over the surroundings, taking in the beautiful scenery. She couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so beautiful here!"

Ye Muyuan stood quietly beside her and said with a smile, "I hope you like this place." Meng Kexin turned her head and looked at Ye Muyuan, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

Meng Kexin smiled slightly and said softly, "I like it here very much. Thank you for bringing me here."

Ye Muyuan looked at her tenderly and said softly, "I discovered it by chance, so I wanted to bring you here to see it."

Meng Kexin blushed and lowered her head, her heart pounding like a deer.

At this moment, a breeze blew by, bringing with it the fresh scent of the mountains and forests. Meng Kexin took a deep breath, feeling the beauty of nature.

She turned to face Ye Muyuan, her eyes sparkling, "Brother Ye, do you know? I have always felt very confused. I don't know what my future will be like, nor do I know what I really want." Meng Kexin sighed softly.

Ye Muyuan walked over to her and comforted her, "Everyone gets confused sometimes, don't worry. Just follow your heart, and I believe you will always find the answer."

Meng Kexin raised her head and looked at Ye Muyuan, "But my heart is so confused, I don't know what to do."

Ye Muyuan reached out his hand and gently placed it on Meng Kexin's shoulder. "Take your time. Perhaps in this beautiful place, you will find your own peace and direction. We can explore and search together."

Meng Kexin nodded slightly, a smile on her face, "Well, thank you, Brother Ye. I feel much more at ease with you around."

Ye Muyuan smiled and said, "You're welcome. Let's move forward. Maybe we'll find something new."

The two walked side by side, enjoying this moment of tranquility and beauty.

As they walked, Meng Kexin suddenly saw a large tree in front of them. Under the tree sat a white-haired old man. The old man had his eyes closed, as if deep in thought. Ye Muyuan and Meng Kexin walked towards him, and the old man slowly opened his eyes, his gaze clear and deep.

"Young people, you are here." The old man's voice was old and low.

"Hello, old man." Ye Muyuan greeted politely.

"Are you looking for something?" the old man asked, looking at them.

Meng Kexin hesitated for a moment, then mustered up the courage to say, "Old man, I've always been confused and don't know where my future lies. Can you give me some guidance?"

The old man smiled and nodded. "My child, the road of life is always full of unknowns and variables. But as long as you maintain a kind heart and stick to your beliefs, you will find your own direction."

Meng Kexin listened to the old man's words, and her mind gradually became clear.

"Thank you, old man." Meng Kexin said gratefully.

The old man waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. This is your fate. However, I have another question for this young master."

The old man looked at Ye Muyuan, a cunning glint in his eyes.

"Sir, do you have someone you like?"

Ye Muyuan blushed slightly. He glanced at Meng Kexin, then turned to the old man and said, "Of course I have someone I like."

The old man smiled and said, "That's good. When it comes to love, let it take its course. If we are destined to be together, we will be together."

Meng Kexin's heart was moved when she heard the old man's words. She secretly glanced at Ye Muyuan and happened to meet his eyes.

Both of them looked away shyly, and a subtle atmosphere spread between them.

At this time, the old man stood up and patted the dust off his body, "Well, it's time for me to go. You two should cherish this time." After that, the old man slowly left.

Ye Muyuan and Meng Kexin smiled at each other and continued walking forward. Their moods became relaxed and cheerful, as if they had found the direction to move forward.

Zan Feng and the eight guards followed far behind, their eyes fixed on their master in front of them.

Lei Can looked at his master's back and couldn't help but say, "Hey, could it be that the master has taken a fancy to that little girl?" There was a hint of doubt and ridicule in his words.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Lei Can, a hint of surprise in their eyes. Their master had always been cold and ruthless, and even disdained women, so why would he fall for a little girl?

Zan Feng frowned and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense. How can we guess what the master is thinking?" There was a hint of warning in his tone, which made Lei Can dare not say anything more.

The eight guards were also silent. They knew their master's temper very well and did not dare to discuss his affairs lightly. They just followed silently behind, protecting their master's safety.

Ye Muyuan in front seemed not to hear their conversation. He still walked forward with firm steps.

At this moment, Meng Kexin tripped over something and fell into the abyss beside her.

"Kexin!" Ye Muyuan quickly grabbed Meng Kexin's sleeve and brought her to his side.

Meng Kexin patted her chest in fear and looked into the abyss.

"Thank you, Brother Ye. If it weren't for you, I would be dead today."

Ye Muyuan comforted her softly, "You're welcome, Ke Xin. It's dangerous here, so it's better to be careful." As he spoke, he looked around carefully, as if looking for something.

Meng Kexin nodded, still feeling a lingering fear. She glanced at Ye Muyuan gratefully, and suddenly noticed a wound on his arm, bleeding.
