I think my luck is turning around.

Seeing Lin Jingqing evading the question, An Ge did not press further. After all, forcing someone to answer questions was not An Ge's style.

Then came another endless silence. An Ge was only focused on following Lin Jingqing forward, completely unaware of how much longer or how far the journey would take.

They had been walking for a very long time, and An Ge's legs couldn't take it anymore, so she asked to stop and rest for a while. Lin Jingqing naturally agreed, and the two sat casually by the roadside. Lin Jingqing looked back and observed their surroundings.

The area was relatively safe, with no danger. Lin Jingqing looked deeper into the woods and saw several fruit trees in the distance. He was quite excited, as their food supply would increase.

Lin Jingqing excitedly ran into the woods, with An Ge following behind, as they couldn't act alone. An Ge followed Lin Jingqing to the fruit trees, looking up at the fruit with a hint of excitement.

Lin Jingqing skillfully climbed the tree, picked a few fruits, and then jumped down. It seems Lin Jingqing has done this quite often; he's very adept at it.

Having picked the fruit, the two returned to their original path. They sat by the roadside to rest, eating some fruit to replenish their energy. An Ge, still clutching her book tightly, suddenly realized she could ask her father to determine why Lin Jingqing had acted alone.

An Ge quickly began to operate, placing her hand on the book and silently wondering why Lin Jingqing was acting alone.

"To evade the enemy's pursuit, he had to act alone. He needed to find the only person who could help him," the Book of Answers replied simply, offering no further information. It merely told An Ge that Lin Jingqing had no other reason than to evade the enemy and find someone to help him.

An Ge looked at Lin Jingqing beside her without saying much. After finishing the remaining half of the fruit in her hand, An Ge stood up, and they were about to continue their journey.

An Ge was curious; she wanted to know the truth. But even after learning the truth, she could perfectly conceal her knowledge of it. Feigning madness, playing dumb, and acting oblivious—these were An Ge's forte!

Two silent people walking together create a kind of ultimate tranquility. An Ge is the kind of person who speaks to people in a way that suits them, and if she encounters someone like Lin Jingqing who doesn't talk, An Ge is helpless.

Lin Jingqing suddenly stopped, took out a map from his pocket, and then looked at the directions. He gestured on the map and then around the area. They could only take the mountain road now, not the city road; otherwise, Lin Jingqing would definitely be discovered by those people.

Which way do we go now?

"After we leave the mountains by following this road, we will travel thirty li east, and after crossing another mountain, we will reach Linnan City."

Hearing about such a long distance, An Ge couldn't take it anymore. She thought about how she had undergone a long period of training, but if she continued to walk like this day and night, her legs would be ruined.

So, regardless of whether my feet are damaged or not, these shoes are going to be ruined.

However, An Ge didn't complain. She didn't have a clear direction right now, so she could only follow this local for the time being. An Ge didn't like acting alone; after all, she didn't really enjoy it.
