"Xiao Bao, quickly take people to the front to see if there is a place to shelter from the rain. Move quickly and come back quickly!" Chifeng shouted anxiously.

"Okay! Boss!" Xiao Bao didn't dare to delay at all after hearing this. He immediately called another person. The two of them quickly untied the two horses pulling the cart, jumped on the horses, and galloped towards the front, raising clouds of dust with their hooves.

Murong Ling'er looked at the gloomy sky covered with thick clouds, as if a downpour would come at any time. She was afraid that she would not be able to find shelter from the rain in time, and her expression was a little anxious.

Murong Ling'er turned to Chu Lingfeng and said, "Chu Lingfeng, take care of the two children. I'm going to check the forest."

Chu Lingfeng nodded.

Murong Ling'er walked into the forest with a sword, wanting to explore it in advance for everyone.

Seeing her leave the crowd, Huo Shuixian became worried and followed her quietly. She walked lightly and tried not to make any noise, for fear of being discovered by Murong Ling'er.

Chu Lingfeng was sharp-eyed and quickly noticed Huo Shuixian's actions.

He wanted to warn Murong Ling'er, but then he thought that with Murong Ling'er's ability, Huo Shuixian's following would not cause any trouble, so he naturally did not take it seriously and let them go.

The wind howled in the woods, the leaves rustled, and the atmosphere seemed a little gloomy.

Huo Shuixian walked forward cautiously, keeping an eye on Murong Ling'er, fearing that she would be lost.

Suddenly, Murong Ling'er stopped abruptly and turned around to look back.

Huo Shuixian was shocked, thinking she had been discovered.

However, Murong Ling'er just glanced at her indifferently and continued to move forward. It turned out that she had already noticed Huo Shuixian's following, but at this moment she only wanted to find a place to shelter from the rain and didn't care at all.

Seeing this, Huo Shuixian breathed a sigh of relief and continued to follow closely.

The light in the woods grew dimmer, and their figures moved back and forth among the mottled shadows of the trees.

Murong Ling'er held a long sword and swung it violently. The sharp sword wind whistled continuously, and soon a pile of scattered wood was piled up on the ground.

"The rain is about to come. We need to quickly get more wood and build a simple emergency shelter, otherwise everyone will suffer."

Murong Ling'er swung her sword and chopped firewood while thinking secretly in her heart, and her hands moved faster and faster.

"Have you seen enough?" Murong Ling'er stopped, picked up the pile of wood, turned around and looked behind her.

Huo Shuixian was hiding not far away. When she heard the question, she slowly walked out from behind the tree.

"Sister, do you need help?" Huo Shuixian called out cautiously.

Hearing these two words, Murong Ling'er felt a wave of disgust in her heart, and said bluntly: "Who are you trying to disgust?"

Huo Shuixian felt as if her heart was blocked after hearing this. Her eyes immediately filled with tears. She said pitifully, "Sister, I was wrong before. I sincerely admit my mistakes to you. We are sisters! How can sisters hold grudges forever? Sister, you have always been tolerant. You will definitely forgive me, right?"

"What kind of white lotus trick are you playing? Hiding your strength and biding your time? Or is it a self-torture tactic?"

Murong Ling'er looked at her with disdain, not wanting to see her pretending at all. "Don't act weak in front of me. I know all about your tricks!"

Huo Shuixian pursed her lips and continued, "Sister, I know you're still angry with me, but I really know I was wrong now. I will definitely listen to you from now on."

Murong Ling'er snorted coldly, "You? You think you're worthy of my trust? Don't think I don't know. You just think I'm still useful and want to gain benefits from me."

Huo Shuixian's face turned pale, and a hint of viciousness flashed in her eyes, but she quickly hid it. She still looked aggrieved and said, "Sister, how could you misunderstand me like this? I really do regret it."

Murong Ling'er ignored her, hugged the wood tightly, walked straight past Huo Shuixian, and strode out of the forest.

Huo Shuixian was furious when she saw that she had admitted her mistake so humbly and humbled herself to the ground, but this woman still refused to accept it.

He secretly thought that if it wasn't for the sake of comfort during this exile, he would never have gotten involved with such an ignorant village woman.

When I become successful one day, I will definitely teach Murong Ling'er a lesson and make her pay a heavy price for her contempt today.

She suppressed the anger in her heart and followed Murong Ling'er out of the woods with a look of grievance on her face.

As soon as he came out of the woods, he was met with Murong Chen's hostile gaze.

Huo Shuixian smiled broadly and said in a flattering tone, "Xiaochen! I am your aunt! There were some misunderstandings between your mother and me before, but from now on, I will definitely love you especially!"

Murong Chen looked at Huo Shuixian indifferently, with a mocking smile on his lips, "Aunt? Are you worthy? Don't think I don't know what bad ideas you have."

Huo Shuixian's expression instantly turned extremely ugly. She smiled awkwardly and tried to explain, "Xiaochen, you misunderstood me. I really want to be good to you..."

"Enough!" Murong Chen interrupted her, "Stop pretending, I won't believe you. Also, stay away from me, or don't blame me for being rude!" After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Huo Shuixian standing there in a daze.

Murong Ling'er watched this scene and secretly sighed in her heart, this child is really unique. She walked forward and gently patted Huo Shuixian on the shoulder, "Don't waste your energy, my son is not easy to deceive. And I warn you, don't have any ideas about my son again, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless under my sword."

Then she left as well, leaving Huo Shuixian alone to feel regretful.

Huo Shuixian looked at the backs of the mother and son as they walked away, and a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes.

"Damn it! Just wait and see, one day, I will teach you a lesson!" Huo Shuixian cursed fiercely in her heart.

"Murong Ling'er, you widow, what's so arrogant about you! You just rely on your looks and have a little bastard by your side. Do you really think you can turn the world upside down?" Huo Shuixian became more and more angry as she thought about it, and her face was a little distorted.

"And that Murong Chen, humph! He's just a fatherless bastard, why does he have the right to show off in front of me?

When I find the chance, I will definitely trample you under my feet and let you know how powerful I am." Huo Shuixian gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and her nails almost dug into her flesh.

She was full of resentment, feeling that it was a great shame and humiliation for her to be so humble in front of Murong Ling'er but not get any response.

"When I become successful, I will repay you double for the humiliation you suffered today. Murong Ling'er, don't be complacent for too long. We still have a long way to go. Let's wait and see!"

Huo Shuixian was breathing heavily, the anger in her heart was burning as if it was going to devour everything. She secretly vowed to make Murong Ling'er and Murong Chen pay a heavy price for what happened today.
