"I told you to slow down, my legs can't keep up."

Unexpectedly, after these words were spoken, the person in front quickened their pace slightly.

Huo Zhou limped and hurried to catch up.

"Hey, Qinyu, hey hey hey, slow down, Qinyu, wait for me!"

Huo Zhou, who was limping forward, suddenly saw Qin Yu in front of him stop abruptly, then turn in a different direction and stop by the bushes on the side.

Huo Zhou quickly limped forward.

Following Qin Yu's gaze, in the dark night, a faint green figure lay on the ground beside the haystack.

"Ah, in this desolate wilderness, where did this child come from?"

Qin Yu stared intently at the small, emerald-green figure lying on the ground, strode forward, bent down, and hugged the person in his arms.

Brushing the hair from her forehead, a bright and beautiful face appeared before the two of them.

Qin Yu's pupils contracted; it was the child from that banquet!

Fifth Master's daughter!

How did she end up here?

Qin Yu stood up, holding Hang Suisui in his arms, and turned around to survey his surroundings.

There was no movement.

There was no one else there.

Huo Zhou looked at the child Qin Yu was holding tightly in his arms: "This child..."

Qin Yu looked down at Hang Suisui's unconscious state, then turned to interrupt Huo Zhou.

"You go back first, I'll go find her family."

Huo Zhou refused without hesitation: "No, it's late at night in the middle of nowhere. Where are you going to find the child's family by yourself?"

At the last birthday banquet, Huo Zhou had to leave halfway through due to some business, which meant he wasn't with Wang Taobo and therefore didn't get to see the rumored daughter of Master Yin.

The sounds of insects chirping and leaves rustling all around, accompanied by the cool night breeze, create a slightly eerie and chilly atmosphere.

Huo Zhou looked at Qin Yu with a serious expression: "This place is not safe. How can I let you search for her family here alone?"

He glanced down at Hang Suisui and then reached out his hand to Qin Yu.

"Give her to me, I'll carry her. Let's go back first, and look for her again tomorrow."

Qin Yu frowned, looked at the surrounding overgrown weeds and jungles, shook his head at Huo Zhou, and tightened his grip on Hang Sui Sui's arm.

"No need, your leg is injured, let me carry you, let's get out of here first."

Upon hearing this, Huo Zhou silently withdrew his hand.

Just now, the wind, thunder, and lightning suddenly stopped. As the two carefully got up from the ground, Huo Zhou accidentally twisted his ankle while supporting Qin Yu.

Another case of accidentally overestimating oneself.

The moon is pale and the stars are sparse.

Emerging from the wasteland, the muddy path was uneven, and Qin Yu walked carefully, taking cautious steps.

In contrast, Huo Zhou pretended to be lame and followed along unsteadily.

After walking for a while, Huo Zhou's unsteady steps gradually became steady. He approached Qin Yu and looked at the child in her arms.

"I think my leg is better now, I've recovered."

As he spoke, his steps became more and more steady, as if he wanted to prove it to Qin Yu.

Seeing the look Qin Yu was giving him, Huo Zhou quickly reached out and said.

"You carry her, it's a difficult journey, it will be easier for me to carry her."

As he spoke, Huo Zhou reached out to hug Hang Suisui.

Just as Huo Zhou's hand touched Hang Suisui.

In an instant.

A sudden gust of wind swept across the silent wilderness.

A gust of wind swept by, stirring up the sand on the ground and raising a cloud of dust in the air.

Qin Yu quickly turned to the side and held Hang Suisui in his arms, turning his face away to avoid the sand and gravel in the wind.

Huo Zhou reacted quickly, taking a long stride to shield Qin Yu from view.

The dust relentlessly pelted my face, stinging me.

Both of them were so drenched in the sudden gust of wind that they couldn't open their eyes.

But in an instant, the wind suddenly stopped.

A tall, slender figure appeared silently in front of them as the wind passed.

Qin Yu and Huo Zhou turned their heads alertly to see the man's tall and slender figure, whose features were obscured by the hazy moonlight.

Yet, one could clearly sense the powerful aura and chilling presence emanating from the person opposite.

Huo Zhou felt a sudden surge of relief.

He subtly turned to the side, trying to shield Qin Yu from behind.

For a moment, Qin Yu, holding Hang Sui Sui, dared not move.

Fortunately, the tense atmosphere was only temporary.

Then, the man spoke in a clear, cold voice: "Give her to me."

Huo Zhou and Qin Yu were both startled upon hearing the sound.

Fifth Master Yin!?

Ignoring the two stunned people, the person in front stepped forward and carefully took the child, Hang Suisui, into his arms.

Looking at Hang Suisui, who had fallen asleep in his arms, Yin Huaizhu frowned and reached out his fingertip to touch her peaceful little face.

Huo Zhou looked at Yin Huaizhu in surprise and asked, "Fifth Master Yin, what are you doing here?"

She glanced again at the child who had been carried away by Yin Huaizhu.

My mind was racing.

Could this be the legendary daughter of Master Yin?

Then I looked at Yin Huaizhu's gentle and careful demeanor.

He has determined the truth.

Yin Huaizhu raised her eyes and said calmly, "I'm leaving first. You should go back too."

Without waiting for Huo Zhou's reaction, she glanced at Qin Yu one last time, turned and walked forward, disappearing into the darkness in no time.
