Seeing the atmosphere between the two, the Ji family members tactfully distanced themselves from them.

After a moment of hesitation, Ji Beichen stepped forward slowly, leaned against him gently, and spoke in a soft voice.

"Miss Han, I hope that your journey to the examination will be as smooth as a light boat sailing on a flat road, without any worries."

Han Zixuan saw his tense, clenched hands around his waist and sighed!

"Thank you, Young Master Ji. You don't need to be so nervous. We will get married after we return from the exam."

Now I'll explain it to you clearly.

When I saved you, I knew I would marry you!

"I will treat you well after we get married, and Duan will not let you suffer."

"I only ask that you forget all the past grievances and only have me in your heart, my wife."

Ji Beichen opened his eyes slightly, tightened his grip on the sleeve, and said in a trembling voice, "Miss Han, I...I will!"

He wanted to say something more, but his throat felt like it was blocked with cotton, and he couldn't make a sound.

Somewhat anxious, her eyes filled with tears, her gaze flustered yet hesitant, she slowly raised her head to look at Han Zixuan.

After meeting Han Zixuan's gaze, he looked away again, blinking his eyelids as if he had mustered up his courage!

With a slightly hoarse voice, she spoke with difficulty, "Actually, I have never liked anyone else!"

The person he admired... from beginning to end, was only Han Nvjun!

After saying that, he looked down at his feet and felt a little uneasy!

"Ms. Han, please don't misunderstand!"

Han Zixuan paused, then looked at Ji Beichen, who was looking down and silent!

Slightly surprised, she narrowed her eyes. What had she just heard?

Did Ji... Ji Beichen just confess his feelings to her?

Looking back, I realize that I didn't have a particularly deep understanding of relationships.

They didn't love each other as passionately and intensely as others.

My own explanation for feelings is simply that I like someone and that I'm driven by possessiveness.

The same principle applied to Qingxi and Ji Beichen, and once they realized it, they felt relieved.

He turned to look at Ji Beichen, who was practically staring right through the Earth, and chuckled softly!

As he slowly stepped forward and stood in front of him, a pair of feet suddenly appeared in Ji Beichen's line of sight.

He subconsciously looked up and met Han Zixuan's eyes.

"I misunderstood. Since you have feelings for me, I will definitely not let you down in the future!"

She reached out and grabbed his arm, pulling out the sleeve that was now completely mangled.

He chuckled lightly, "These clothes look better when they're neat and tidy!"

Ji Beichen's face instantly turned bright red, and he dared not look up again.

Han Zixuan then gave Ji Beichen a hug as well.

Ji Beichen froze, too flustered to make any move, his heart pounding as he tried to blurt out something.

It was just a brief hug; she gently released Ji Beichen.

"Be a good girl and wait for me to come back." Ji Beichen nodded slowly, his face flushed.

"Don't worry, Lady Han, I will also help take care of Lord Han and Lord Shen!"

Han Zixuan nodded slightly and went with him to the Ji family's place.

The Ji family members stole glances at them and were overjoyed to see Han Zixuan hugging her Beichen as well.

Everyone was all smiles, and Ji Xiao chuckled as she approached.

"Alright, alright, what time is it? If we keep dawdling, we'll be sleeping outside the city!"

Her sister is truly delightful; now, along with her brother, they both have two husbands.

They even flaunted their affection in public.

Ji Lan glared at Ji Xiao. Didn't this child see that her brother was cultivating feelings for Han Nvjun?

Ji Beichen walked to Shen Qingxi's side, and the two smiled at each other.

Finally, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Han Zixuan and Ji Xiao's carriage slowly moved forward.

The carriage swayed and rocked as it traveled through the green hills and clear waters.

Han Zixuan looked at the scenery outside and sighed inwardly.

I couldn't help but recall those who had been turned into monsters by a viral infection. The mountains were truly a living hell!

Unlike here, everything is lush, green, and adorable, which she can appreciate properly!

Ji Xiao suddenly popped her head in, "Sister Zixuan, what are you looking at? There are only mountains and trees outside, what's so interesting about that?"

Han Zixuan simply smiled and said, "It would be such a waste not to take a good look around after going on such a long trip!"

In modern times, she would call this tourism!

Ji Xiao suddenly realized and also came over to take a look.

"That's true. Anyway, I'm bored, so I'll just enjoy it."

We've been walking for almost two hours now, and we've covered more than half the distance!

But then dark clouds gathered ahead, and it looked like a storm was brewing.

Dark, inky clouds surged and gathered from all directions, seemingly threatening to swallow the sky.

Thick clouds resembled a ferocious beast, and the howling wind whipped the branches and scattered pieces of paper.

Immediately afterwards, large raindrops began to pelt down.

Raindrops hit the carriage windows and soon seeped into the carriage.

Ji Xiao exclaimed in the carriage, "We're doomed! If we get caught in a storm, we might not be able to get into the city!"

Han Zixuan also frowned; just a moment ago, the sun was shining brightly on the other side of the mountain.

Now we're facing a storm; the weather is so unpredictable.

"Alright, the most important thing now is to find a place to take shelter from the rain!"

After saying that, he looked around to find cover.

Looking around, there was only an empty official road surrounded by green plants and weeds.

Just when they were at their wits' end, they suddenly saw a person in a shuttle-like garment walking in the rain.

Ji Xiao excitedly grabbed Han Zixuan's arm, "Sister Zixuan, look there's someone over there, why don't we go up and ask them!"

"Are there any places nearby where we can take shelter from the rain?"

Han Zixuan also saw the figure walking on the official road in the distance.

He squinted; the surrounding area was all mountains and forests, so how could a person suddenly appear?

Remaining wary, she pulled Ji Xiao back, saying, "It's raining heavily outside, you'd better not get out! Have the driver take the carriage to that person before you look!"

Ji Xiao didn't understand, but she obeyed, especially Han Zixuan's words.

This was something her mother had repeatedly told her: "Remember, when you're out and about, do whatever Han Nüjun tells you to do!"

Ji Xiao nodded, "Okay, Sister Zixuan, did Ada see that person? Follow him."

Ah Da was a skilled carriage driver in the Ji family, and upon hearing Ji Xiao's voice...

They urged the horse forward, and when the carriage stopped, they could see that it was an old woman.

She walked with a stoop, wearing a straw raincoat. The brown of the raincoat blended with her rough hands and wrinkled face.

Her steps were unsteady yet firm. She stopped slowly upon hearing the sound and looked up at them.

Ah Da asked, "Old man, could you tell me if there are any villages nearby?"

Han Zixuan and Ji Xiao looked out from inside the carriage and confirmed that it was just an elderly man.

Han Zixuan relaxed a little, then frowned slightly as she looked at the old woman. Had she really made a mountain out of a molehill?

But then they heard the old woman's eerie laughter, "Hehe, yes, in our Dragon Tiger Village."

After saying that, he suddenly pulled a knife from his raincoat and slashed at Ah Da.

Startled, Ah Da quickly dodged to the side. The blade sliced ​​across Ah Da's arm, leaving a long, bloody gash.

Ji Xiao, who was inside the carriage, was speechless when she saw this scene.

"Ah!...Ah Da..."

Han Zixuan shielded Ji Xiao behind her, her eyes narrowing as she instantly unleashed her psychic abilities.

The scenery within a radius of several dozen meters is completely visible.

More than twenty people suddenly sprang out from the weeds on both sides of the official road!

Each of them was armed and they rushed toward their carriage at top speed!

They quickly surrounded their carriage, leaving them nowhere to escape!

I heard the old woman's voice again.

"Everyone in the car, get out! Or I'll kill someone!"

Han Zixuan was startled; she had actually encountered bandits!
