"Grand Master!" Ye Jin turned his head around in a panic. "Is it only Qi Shan's parasol leaves that are effective?"

The monk stroked his beard and nodded, "Qi Shan is a wise man, the parasol tree at the top of the mountain is also a sacred object to the sun for a thousand years. Only it can. "

The more Bai Xiaonan heard, the weirder she felt it was. When they were going up the mountain, she saw the parasol tree too, but it grew on a very steep cliff wall.

Wasn't this old monk doing this on purpose?

Although he knew that it was very possible that this monk was just spouting nonsense, he would rather believe it than not. Besides, Huo Tindong usually had so many competitors, so it would be easy for him to attract one or two people who wanted to get rid of him. Even if it was useless, he had to try.

Ye Jinxin stood up and bowed respectfully. Then, she pulled Bai Xiaonan away from the crowd.

Gao Yunqi was waiting for them outside. After seeing the two come out, he curiously asked, "I saw so many people that they didn't go in. Is there anything fun inside?" As he spoke, he stood up on his tiptoes and peeked inside.

Bai Xiaonan felt unhappy in her heart, rolling her eyes at Gao Yunqi, "Don't look, there's nothing else. There's only a group of idiots surrounding a swindler."

After saying that, he turned to Ye Jinxin and said with hatred, "Student Ye Jinxin, you have received a high education, you wouldn't believe what that monk said, right?"

Ye Jinxin did not say anything. His clear black and white eyes rolled over as he suddenly pulled Bai Xiaonan over to Gao Yunqi's side and sincerely said, "Student Gao Yunqi, can I ask for your help?"

Hearing that the girl had taken the initiative to ask for his help, a hint of happiness appeared on the youth's young and handsome face. "If there's anything you want to say, just say it."

Ye Jinxin pursed her lips, "Can you help me bring Xiao Nan safely down the mountain?"

Bai Xiaonan was stunned, "Ye Jinxin, what do you mean by that?"

Gao Yunqi also nodded in agreement, "If you want to leave, then let us leave together, why did you suddenly ask us to leave first?"

Ye Jinxin frowned and let out an embarrassed sigh. She lowered her head and bashfully said, "I want to go to the top of the mountain again."

Bai Xiaonan was puzzled, "Didn't we just come down from the top of the mountain?" "Brilliant Heart?" Bai Xiaonan's eyes widened in disbelief, "You can't really be thinking of going to the top of the mountain to find some parasol leaf!"

"What Wutong Leaf?" Gao Yunqi asked with a frown.

Bai Xiaonan pushed him away, "Don't worry about it."

Ye Jinxin lowered her eyes and answered with an unconfident 'Mhmm'.

"What are you thinking!" Bai Xiaonan couldn't help but point a finger at her head, "That monk looks like he's the god that jumped, but you still believe his words. Did you know that the wutong tree grew on the cliff? If you go and pick its broken leaves, you will be in danger."

"I won't!" Ye Jinxin suddenly raised her head and grabbed Bai Xiaonan's hand, "You forgot. I told you before, when I was young, the thing I knew how to do the most was to climb trees. There definitely wouldn't be any danger."

Gao Yunqi was completely confused by Bai Xiaonan's words, and once again opened his mouth wanting to ask something. At this moment, Bai Xiaonan was so angry that she fiercely said to him, "Just stand there, and don't worry about anything." Typically to vent your anger on someone else.

Ye Jin was also troubled. She knew that Bai Xiaonan would definitely stop her, but this matter was already related to Huo Tindong's life. She didn't want to take the risk, regardless if it was true or not.

"Yun Qi." Ye Jinxin looked at the boy beside her, "I'll leave Xiao Nan to you."

Gao Yun raised his eyebrows and asked, "What about you?"

Ye Jinxin stretched out two fingers towards Bai Xiaonan and solemnly vowed.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely be back at the foot of the mountain in an hour to gather with everyone."

Then, he pulled Bai Xiaonan's arm, "Don't be angry, don't worry about me, I'll be fine soon."

Bai Xiaonan sighed, shook her head and said, "This is the first time I've seen such a filial daughter."

Ye Jinxin reassured them by shaking her arm, "Then I'll be going. Be careful on the road." After she said this, she turned around and waved towards the two of them, walking towards the mountain peak.

Bai Xiaonan felt it was strange as she watched Ye Jinxin walk towards the top of the mountain.

Ye Jinxin was so worried because of some random nonsense. Shouldn't a normal father and daughter be like her and her father? As long as they didn't find a topic to talk about, the two of them would always be in a state of silence. Wasn't Ye Jinxin's relationship with Huo Tindong too strange?

By the time Jinxin climbed to the top of the mountain, it was already 6 PM. The sky had gradually darkened. Although she said that she wasn't afraid, she was still a bit worried as she watched the sun slowly set.

Although the tree was thick, it was not that tall. Ye Jinxin only picked up a few small sticks and knocked on the ground a few times, before a lot of leaves fell and he put the leaves back into his bag. Ye Jinxin finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Who cares if what the monk said was true or not, at least she felt at ease now.

Picking up a dead branch from the ground, Ye Jinxin was about to stand up, but because he had been squatting down and tidying up the leaves, his legs were already numb. Just as he stood up, his legs were trembling slightly, and the stones under his feet were the kind of bluestone that had experienced many years of wind and rain.

Ah!

With a scream, Ye Jinxin's body quickly sank with the gravity. During this time, many branches and leaves rubbed against her body, and the sharpened stones stabbed into her skin like needles.

The girl was no longer aware of the pain due to the panic in her heart. She could only hear the wind whistling past her ears.

With a "peng" sound, Ye Jinxin landed in a cave on a cliff. This huge rock was in the shape of a fan on top of the mountain. The protruding platform caught Ye Jinxin as she fell.

"Aiyo." Ye Jinxin rubbed her numbed butt in pain. She squinted her eyes and looked up. It was fine that she didn't see it, but once she did, she immediately felt a chill in her heart. She actually fell from such a high place? Fortunately, there were a lot of weeds and branches blocking her way, giving her a bit of resistance. If she fell down, she wouldn't have a chance to rub her butt again.

This could also be considered as having survived a great disaster. He would definitely be blessed after all.
