Hua Yunshu felt that there was some pain on his waist that made him panic, so he took out the life saving magical tool that belonged to his sister.

"Oh, right, here's one for you." Su He gave the little thing to Miao Liuer.

"Oh, thank you." Miao Liuer subconsciously touched his own body, then took the thing in Hua Yunshu's hand.

"Where did this come from?" Hua Yunshu asked the question he wanted to know the most.

Although Miao Liuer had this life saving magical equipment, Hua Yunshu felt that something was off. Or rather, it could be said that Hua Yunshu had telepathic feelings with his sister, but he didn't feel that way about Miao Liuer at all.

"He's been with me since I was young." Miao Liuer laughed, and then smiled.

"Huh?" Hua Yunshu was pleasantly surprised. He found his sister so easily?

"My father gave it to me." Miao Liuer caressed the little thing in his hand.

"Father …" Hua Yunshu's heart instantly fell to the bottom of the valley.

"That's right. When we were young, a merchant came to our house to sell it to us." Miao Liuer recalled his childhood memories.

That year, the wind and the rain were heavy. The roads on the mountain were always easily destroyed or blocked by the mud avalanche. The citizens of Mo City did not leave their homes and waited for the storm to pass. That night, a merchant knocked on the door of Miao Liuer's home, saying that he wanted to spend the night here. Miao Liuer's father agreed. As repayment, the merchant, before leaving due to the heavy rain, sold him such a pendant at a low price. He said that it could protect the wearer and that it was a pretty good tool, thus it landed in Miao Liuer's hands.

"Buy it?" Hua Yunshu's heart turned cold. It seems that this magical equipment had probably not been by his sister's side for a long time. Otherwise, it wouldn't have ended up in the merchant's hands.

"Yeah." Miao Liuer nodded.

"Oh …" Hua Yunshu sat on the ground in a daze as if he had lost his soul.

Miao Liuer looked at Hua Yunshu, his pretty face not one bit inferior to Mu Yangxin's. On the contrary, Hua Yunshu was even more playful and humorous, and since she was so concerned about him after saving her, it seemed that Hua Yunshu liked her. Now that she seemed to like Hua Yunshu a little, it must be a mutual love.

"Still not leaving?" An angry Su He returned, looked at the sky that was not too bright and asked the three people sitting at the side.

"Let's go." Mu Yangxin stood up and agreed with Su He's suggestion.

The three of them continued forward, and they followed the smoke in front of them. As expected, not long after they arrived, they saw an inn.

"It's worth it." Hua Yunshu heaved a long sigh.

"Definitely." Miao Liuer replied.

It had already been a long journey and Hua Yunshu felt a sense of powerlessness from being stuck. On the way, no matter what he said or wanted to coax the unhappy Su He, Miao Liuer would immediately come out and interrupt him or agree with him. But Hua Yunshu still wanted to obtain more clues, so he had always endured Miao Liuer's pestering.

"Two rooms." Mu Yangxin said to the waiter in the tavern.

"Alright!" The four of you will be staying in two rooms! "

Naturally, Mu Yangxin and Hua Yunshu were in one room, Miao Liuer was in another room, and Hua Yunshu originally had some strange thoughts running through his mind, but he was directly pulled away by Mu Yangxin.

The four of them went back to their respective rooms to pack up. After that, they agreed to eat something in front of the inn.

"How are you doing?" Su He said to Miao Liuer after entering the room.

"Thanks to you, I feel much better." Miao Liuer spoke in a weird tone.

"That's good." Su He no longer paid attention to him.

The two of them remained in a deadlock. After Su He finished tidying things up, he intended to walk out of the room first, but he was pulled back by Miao Liuer.

"What are you going to do?" Su He had been holding back, but she, Miao Liuer, became even more severe.

"Talk to you." Miao Liuer closed the door and sat on the chair: "Don't be in such a hurry to leave."

"If you have something to say, hurry up and say it." Su He frowned.

"I won't beat around the bush either. Tell me the truth, I like Hua Yunshu. You should know what happened between us earlier as well." Miao Liuer's words became more and more deprecating, and started to create something that was not there before. With just a few hints, Su He's anger soared to the sky.

"I don't care about the two of you." Su He bit his lower lip.

"Then please stay away from Hua Yunshu." Miao Liuer moved closer to Su He's ear, "He's one of my people."

Su He's breathing was trembling and his hands were drenched in sweat.

Dong! Dong! Dong! The door was knocked.

"Come out and eat, Junior Sister." It was Mu Yangxin's voice.

"Alright." Su He replied as he stood up and pushed open the door.

The four of them sat in front of the table. Hua Yunshu saw that Su He's expression was still not right, as though something was tangled in his heart. It seemed that Su He cared about him, and was jealous of him even after he disappeared for a while.

"What do you want to eat, Su He?" Hua Yunshu looked at the person in front of him.

Su He did not speak and looked towards Mu Yangxin: "What do you want to eat, Senior Brother."

"Anything is fine. You can eat whatever you want." Mu Yangxin said, his tone filled with gentleness.

Seeing that Mu Yangxin and Hua Yunshu were just asking themselves, Miao Liuer stood up and directly called for the waiter.

"I know you don't know what to eat." Miao Liuer said, "Waiter, I want four bowls of Clear Broth Noodle Soup, a bowl of side dish and a bowl of stewed meat."

"Alright, please wait a moment!" With that, the waiter left.

The four of them sat there awkwardly, staring at each other without saying a word.

"Su He..." Just as Hua Yunshu was about to explain to Su He, Miao Liuer interrupted.

"Oh, Yun Shu, thank you for saving my life today." Yun Shu, ah, thank you for saving my life today. With that, Miao Liuer drank the entire bowl of wine.

Su He could not sit still any longer and got up to leave: "I'm not hungry anymore, I'm going back to my room to rest."

Ignoring the voice that was calling out to him from behind, Su He went back to pack his luggage and prepared to leave.

"Humph!" I can do it myself! " Su He carried his luggage and decided to go to the Western Mountain first to find the Old Sky Sovereign and hand Ma Feng Lan's letter to him.

When night fell, everyone fell asleep. Su He didn't want to cause trouble, so he sneakily slipped away, heading towards the west. When he didn't know where he was going, he would find people to ask for directions.

The road ahead was not very far, there were vines wrapped around the mountain, and seaweed wrapped around his feet in the water. Everything had become a hindrance to Su He, but he still managed to reach the western mountain with great difficulty.

Looking at the notice board left behind by his predecessors, Su He wiped away the sweat on his forehead.
