Senior brother is so awesome!

Going down from the back of the mountain doesn't mean going directly down the mountain, but rather arriving at another mountain called Feifan Mountain. The mountain has a beautiful name, but it is a natural barrier for Sanqing Mountain. It is not only extremely steep, but also home to many ferocious beasts. At the junction of the two mountains, there is a formation set up by the master.

The group descended the mountain through the secret passage, only to be trapped by a forest before them. There were towering trees stretching as far as the eye could see, a verdant expanse, but no matter which way they went, they could not escape the forest.

Qing'er marked each tree she passed with a sword, then wandered around and ended up back where she started.

The junior brother had never encountered formations before and was completely at a loss. He was sweating profusely, fearing that someone was chasing after him, and asked Fu Ying, "Didn't the senior brother tell you how to break the formation?"

Fu Ying carried her tall and strong fourth senior brother for a long time. Despite her excellent martial arts skills, she was still a little tired. She took out her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, panted, and shook her head. "The situation is urgent, and the prince didn't have time to say anything."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yuechan's heart skipped a beat. Just how urgent was the situation that the usually cautious Qin Yuechan didn't have time to explain how to break the formation? Now, there was no time to think about anything, and even if he wanted to go back, he couldn't break the formation at all.

But they tried all sorts of methods, and what seemed like a straight path forward was actually going in circles!

Left with no other choice, they could only put their fourth senior brother down so that Fuying could rest for a while and think of a solution.

Qin Yuechan sat on the ground and hugged him as they hurried along. The wounds on her fourth senior brother's body finally reopened, and blood seeped through his white inner robe. However, she could not bandage him immediately. With a heavy heart, she took a damp handkerchief and gently dabbed it on his dry and pale lips.

The junior brother bent down, put his hand on her shoulder, and gently comforted her, "Junior sister, don't worry, we will definitely get out of here."

She nodded, gazing at the boundless dense forest, a hint of melancholy in her eyes. "I don't care, I'm just worried about Fourth Senior Brother's injuries."

"I'm here." The hand holding her shoulder tightened slightly, as if it had endless strength.

Qin Yuechan looked up into his clear yet resolute eyes, a faint smile playing on her lips. "I believe in you."

She didn't know when, but the junior brother who had always been protected by everyone had grown into a handsome young man. His sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes still showed a hint of naivety, but more than that, they showed determination and responsibility. Now, he was a man who stood tall and upright. In the most critical moment, he was given the mission of protecting her, and she firmly believed that he would do it.

Just as their eyes met, a weak whimper rang out.

Qin Yuechan looked at the man in her arms with his furrowed brows with wild joy and exclaimed incredulously, "Fourth Senior Brother, you're awake!"

A gasp rang out, and the people who had been resting scattered around gathered around.

His tightly furrowed brows remained unchanged. He slowly opened his eyes, then immediately closed them again as if he were not used to the light. After a while, he heard Qin Yuechan calling him and opened them again.

Looking at Qin Yuechan holding him, and glancing at his junior brother and the others, the unfamiliar surroundings made his brows furrow even deeper. He asked in a hoarse voice, "Where is this?"

Having just regained consciousness after being severely injured, her voice was heavy with weakness, but even so, it was enough for her to be overjoyed and burst into tears. She held his head in her arms, her small hands stroking his firm chin, the raw stubble stinging slightly.

Qin Yuechan choked out, "You slept for a long time."

"Silly girl." Situ Ze's arm was too weak, so he held her hand. His bright, peach-blossom eyes were filled with endless heartache and doting, making it impossible not to fall into them.

The junior brother chuckled and leaned in to tease, "When Fourth Senior Brother woke up, he only looked at Junior Sister, as if I, his junior brother, didn't exist?"

Qin Yuechan could see that there was a barrier between the two, but they made peace without saying a word.

He forced a weak smile, "You're jealous of your junior sister too?"

Perhaps realizing something was wrong while speaking, he noticed that his face was covered with gauze. He suddenly recalled the various tortures and torments inflicted on him before he lost consciousness, and a trace of fear flashed in his clear black and white eyes.

It was just a fleeting glance, but Qin Yuechan noticed it just in time. Her heart ached, and she grasped his hand. At this moment, it would be inappropriate for her to say anything, since what a strong man hates most is pity.

Situ Ze knew she had misunderstood. What he feared wasn't the torture itself, but rather the possibility that his face would be disfigured, and that his junior sister would no longer look at him...

Sui Xin, who was very busy, handed over the water bag and said softly, "Young Master Situ has just woken up and must be thirsty."

Qin Yuechan took it, glanced at her gratefully, and then brought it to her fourth senior brother's lips, speaking softly as if coaxing a child, "Open your mouth."

It was rare to see her so gentle, so Situ Ze put aside his own thoughts and peacefully enjoyed her gentle service.

At this moment, Fu Ying, who had gone to scout ahead, returned. Seeing that Situ Ze had woken up, a hint of surprise appeared on her numb face.

She asked, "Have you found the key to breaking the formation?"

Fu Ying shook his head in disappointment, "Master Ye's Bagua Formation is indeed ingenious and unparalleled."

"Let's think of another way." He offered a gentle word of comfort, handing the water bag to Suixin.

Suddenly, a piercing pain shot through my wrist. I jerked my hand back, and the water bag fell to the ground!

"what!"

She cried out in pain as a gash appeared on her wrist, and bright red blood began to ooze out. Situ Ze asked anxiously, "What happened!"

Sui Xin looked at the ring in her hand and was surprised to find that the wound had been peeled off, sharp as a small knife! She knelt down in a panic and hurriedly took the handkerchief in her hand to cover the bloody wound.

Feeling guilty and anxious, she said, "Miss, Miss, you didn't mean it. Does it hurt?"

Qin Yuechan wouldn't blame her. She covered the not-so-big wound with her handkerchief, her delicate eyebrows furrowing in pain. Seeing Sui Xin's anxious, tear-filled eyes, she forced a smile and said indifferently, "It's okay. Hurry up and put the ring away. Don't hurt yourself anymore."

Situ Ze's gentle, peach-blossom eyes were now filled with a terrifying coldness, making Sui Xin feel worried and frightened, and even more guilty.

"Miss……"

As she spoke, Qing'er stepped forward and pulled her up, looking at her coldly, "I only didn't do anything to you because you served the master before. Now it seems that you are not only a burden, but you also dare to hurt the master!"

Having been immersed in ruthless and inhumane training and assassination for many years, Qing'er's brows exuded an imposing and murderous aura. Sui Xin, on the other hand, was an ordinary girl raised by tenant farmers since childhood. How could she possibly resist? Startled by Qing'er's shout, she was momentarily stunned, and then the tears that had been welling up in her eyes suddenly poured out.

He shook his head in panic, then suddenly knelt down before Qin Yuechan, kowtowing repeatedly: "It was Suixin's fault!"

"enough!"

Qin Yuechan glared at Qing'er, whose face was frosty, and gestured for Nuanyue to help Suixin up. Then, she smiled and said to the tearful Qing'er, "Qing'er is straightforward, don't take it to heart. You've stood by me through thick and thin in such a dangerous situation, I'm so touched."

The more she spoke, the harder Sui Xin cried, nodding heavily, "Even if I die, I will follow you!"

Qin Yuechan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Suixin had been by her side since she first transmigrated, and their bond was far deeper than that of an ordinary master and servant.

"Your Highness! Look!" Fu Ying exclaimed in surprise!

Everyone followed his hand and looked over, and they were all stunned!

The once dense forest had somehow dispersed, and a path was faintly visible leading into the distance!

Qin Yuechan stared wide-eyed, rubbing her eyes in disbelief. Had she never seen anything like this before? Was she dreaming? How could such an unbelievable thing happen?

He subconsciously rubbed his eyes, forgetting the wound on his hand, and the injury pulled, causing him to cry out in pain, "Ouch..."

All eyes were drawn to her painful breathing. The junior brother frowned, took her wrist tenderly, and gently blew on it, muttering, "It doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't hurt anymore."

Qin Yuechan was amused by his actions. Did he think she was a child?

Fu Ying looked at the bloodstains beside her with a puzzled expression, and slowly said, "So the princess's blood is the way to break this formation."

Everyone realized this after his reminder, but Qin Yuechan was shocked. Why could her blood so easily break the Bagua formation set up by her master?

But now is not the time to think about these things. Now that there is a way out, we must set off immediately. They have lingered here for too long. If they are caught up with, although some of them are highly skilled in martial arts, they are with the sick person and Suixin who do not know martial arts at all. It will be impossible for them to escape.

After simply bandaging the wound with the bandages they carried, the group set off.

Fuying carried her fourth senior brother on her back and soon went up Feifan Mountain.

She had always thought that Sanqing Mountain was a paradise on earth, with all kinds of rare plants everywhere, and lush greenery everywhere in the height of summer. But when she arrived at Feifan Mountain, she truly understood what a paradise on earth was.

It was early autumn, yet what greeted the eye was a sea of ​​flowers. The entire Feifan Mountain seemed to be enveloped in a swaying floral paradise, with dazzling butterflies fluttering about everywhere, their shadows dancing endlessly... A gentle breeze blew, and the tender stems swayed along with the radiant blossoms...

However, no matter how beautiful the scenery was, they had no heart to appreciate it. Situ Ze solemnly reminded them that although Feifan Mountain was beautiful, it was extremely dangerous. There were countless ferocious beasts living there all year round. The sea of ​​flowers almost submerged their knees. Even if there were wild beasts crawling around, they would not be able to see them and would be completely powerless to resist!

The group snapped out of their daze after his warning and cautiously made their way up the mountain. Once they crossed it, they would reach their destination and be truly safe.

However, everyone descended the mountain with trepidation, but found no danger. The largest beast was a wolf. When Qing'er and Nuan Yue were about to step forward to kill it, the wolf stared straight at Qin Yue Chan and then walked away very docilely.

Everyone marveled at the sight, and the junior brother even joked that a beauty of such beauty would make even wild beasts feel tenderness.

She pinched him hard, but her mind was full of questions. When she saw the wolf's glasses, she felt a strange sense of familiarity!
