It wasn't until the tempting aroma of the food cooking above the fire came out that everyone's chatter came to an end.
The excitement along the way was exciting enough, but it also made me really hungry.
Jiang Lingxi couldn't help but swallow when she smelled the aroma of food.
Shen Yunqing handed over a lunch box full of hot soup and rice, "Thank you for your hard work."
Jiang Lingxi took the lunch box, leaned close to the man's ear, and asked in a low voice while everyone else around him was immersed in eating: "Are you so sure that I will come here?"
Shen Yunqing's ears twitched slightly, "I originally wanted to rush back before you finished the project, but I found that there was not enough time. I haven't returned yet since you finished the project, so I guess you will definitely come to find me."
Jiang Lingxi unzipped her coat and took out a small white stone. She put it in his hand. Without saying anything else, she picked up the spoon and concentrated on cooking like the others.
Shen Yunqing rubbed the stone that was still warm in his hand, and his whole body was covered from head to toe with the long-lost tenderness.
The deepest tacit understanding in the world.
Probably because I knew you were coming, you really came!
Bearing the wind and snow on your back, there is no turning back.

After filling their stomachs, they became exhausted. Just when everyone was relaxing and feeling drowsy, a voice suddenly came from the back of the palace.
Everyone who was originally relaxed suddenly regained their vigilance. They picked up the weapons at hand and stood up to look over.
At this sight, everyone's eyes widened again, looking at the little guy who was huddled in the corner and finally showed his complete appearance.
He is only about the size of a child, his body is white and hairless, and his eyes are not all green. To be precise, only when the light passes by, the reflection is green, and when there is no light, it is still black.
At first glance, it was indeed strange. But after watching it for a long time, it actually felt weirdly cute.
"This, this is the one who leads us, what kind of villain is that?"
Jiang Lingxi noticed that the little guy looked at Shen Yunqing cautiously, showing a bit of trust, "This little guy won't be following you all these days, right?"
"To be precise, we robbed his place." There were strangers around the little guy, so Shen Yunqing didn't wave the little guy over, "This hall was originally a place where he used to hide. .”
"Hiding? Are there any natural enemies of his outside?"
"No," the person who replied this time was Wujue who appeared, followed by Changying Changfu and several young people with strong auras. "Its natural enemies are much more powerful than him. This is a coward."
Wujue looked at Jiang Lingxi with a slight smile on his face, "I guess you guys should be here by now, is everything going well?"
Jiang Lingxi nodded towards him, "Thanks to the marks you left and this little guy who led us."
"I gave him the only apple I had left as a reward."
Shen Yunqing and others came over and handed over a bottle of water, "How about the Dark Palace?"
"It's not easy," Wujue shook his head and pointed at the little guy who was still nestled in the corner, "This time he rushed over before I could join him, which means his natural enemies should be arriving soon. Those things can't get in easily. Dark Palace, there is only one possibility for coming here this time, there are strangers falling behind them, and no doubt they are those from the Chang Cang Clan. They came quite quickly!"
After saying that, he yawned and waved his hand, "But don't worry, I went to arrange it in advance because I thought it would be easier for us when we face each other later. Now that Miss Jiang has brought so many people, plus the arrangements have been made Okay, we shouldn’t suffer any loss.”
Everyone was a little nervous at first, but seeing his appearance, the nervousness was relieved a lot.
Since it was one of his own who came, his guard disappeared and he also started to yawn.
Wujue drank the water and sat down cross-legged, "It's not easy to get through Mingdian here. Don't worry, just rest. If you have any questions, let's rest and wake up."
After saying that, he started meditating.
After hearing her words, everyone stopped inquiring for a while, took out their sleeping bags from their backpacks, spread them directly on the open ground next to the fire, and fell asleep soon after getting in.
Jiang Lingxi took Chang Ning into the tent where she had changed clothes to rest.
After lying down, they both fell asleep after saying a few words.
Knowing that Shen Yunqing was outside, Jiang Lingxi slept deeper this time than in the previous nights.
*
Just after the few people who entered the Ming Palace had eaten and drank, except for the two people who were keeping watch, they all rested. In another river channel, Yin Chong and others were walking when they saw the company walking in front. Lian and Li Yan suddenly disappeared.
Everyone followed suit and looked at each other for a moment.
Yin Chong looked at the place where the two disappeared with a deep look, "Luan Feng, go over and take a look."
Luan Hua suddenly moved on her toes, but looking at Yin Chong's tense expression, she still didn't dare to say anything.
When her brother turned back to look at her, she gave him a "careful" look.
Luan Feng took a deep breath, walked over in a few steps, and soon arrived at the place where the two disappeared just now.
When he turned around and was about to speak, he felt a huge suction coming from his feet. Before he could make a sound, his whole body was sucked straight down.
Seeing his brother disappear before his eyes, Luan Hua's pupils suddenly shrank, "Xiao Feng!"
No longer caring about others, he hurried forward and soon the people disappeared.
Now Yin Chong didn't even have to look back, he could feel the people's hearts behind him fluctuating and fearful.
"Three people, hold hands, go over!"
But no one moved for a while.
It wasn't until Yin Chong glanced over that the three people walking in the front looked at each other. Then they held hands and walked forward as if they were dead.
They dare not disobey Yin Chong's orders, otherwise, the consequences may be more terrible than death.
Being able to enter the Chang Cang Sect will certainly give you a transcendent status in the secular world, but inside the Sect, the hierarchy cannot be more strict.
This time, none of the three people disappeared together, but only one of them shouted with all his strength: "Save me!" and then disappeared under the water like the two companions in front of him.
Then, there were six people.
Except for giving orders, Yin Chong stood there and watched coldly.
After looking at it, I finally figured out some tricks.
Soon, he and a lone disciple were the only ones left in the water.
This time he walked over by himself, noticed the suction coming from under his feet, and secretly thought that it was true.
The next second, he was also swallowed up.
At this time, the last person left in the same place couldn't hold on any longer. He almost hurriedly climbed ashore and ran back along the way he came.
This place was so weird that he didn't want to go any further.
Unfortunately, he didn't go very far when he ran into Chong Ju and others who were chasing after him.
"Why are you the only one who admires them so much?"
"Master Yin, they were all swallowed by the water!"
Chong Shi personally went ashore and snatched the man back, "Tell me clearly, is Yin Chong's cautious temperament capable of doing things that bring about his own destruction?" As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes, "Could it be that you secretly Did you sneak back?"
"What I said is true!"
"I don't believe it unless you take me to where they disappeared."
There was nothing he could do if he didn't agree. Chongshi was higher than him in terms of level and strength, so he couldn't resist at all.
But after returning, the man was dumbfounded.
This person could still leave some traces while walking on the shore.
But in the river, where all he could see was water, he couldn't remember exactly where the previous companion disappeared.
In the end, the impatient Chongshi flicked him away, and suction came from underneath his body, and he could no longer float.
