At this time, the Bixian Sect.

Below the mountain gate, some bandits arrived, conducted a search, and took away their corpses.

This scene was witnessed by the eldest and second eldest sisters who were patrolling the mountain gate.

It did not stop it.

For now, it's best not to take the initiative and instead focus on protecting the mountain gate.

If the bandits don't come to fight and just take away their corpses, they would be happy to see the area around the mountain gate become cleaner.

However, it is also foreseeable what actions the bandits will take after taking the body back to their hideout.

Mountain bandits commit all sorts of evil deeds, but the key to winning over such a large group of people and preventing internal strife lies in the concept of loyalty.

It's not the righteousness of a grand cause, but the righteousness of sworn brothers.

If a bandit gang suffers the loss of their sworn brother and remains silent without seeking revenge, then their gang is not far from disbanding.

For this reason, it's safe to say that the bandits would definitely retaliate.

They'll probably hold a funeral before they retaliate.

Of course, they might call tomorrow, wanting to use their heads to pay tribute to their dead brothers.

In short, these are all things that are likely on the table and can be predicted.

"This is Blood Vermilion Pill. My junior brother left us half a bottle before he left. There are fifty pills. Junior sister, please keep it safe. In case you need it. According to my junior brother, taking it can not only heal injuries, but also grant you the ferocious fighting power of a wild boar. If there is a great battle, junior sister, don't be stingy with the pills. Take them immediately when necessary. This is my advice to you, junior sister, and it was also my junior brother's advice to me before he left."

Senior Sister Qi Xue handed a bottle of Blood Vermilion to Junior Sister Su Qing.

"Senior sister, junior brother is so thoughtful." Second senior sister Su Qing was pleasantly surprised.

He laughed, but then said to his senior sister, "Senior sister, you should keep some for yourself. Rumor has it that the leader of this band of bandits is quite powerful. I'm worried that you'll have a fierce battle with him."

Senior Sister Qi Xue said, "Then I'll keep a few. After Junior Brother gave me acupuncture this time, my meridians feel smoother than ever before, and my circulation feels lighter than ever before. With the Qingxuan Sword that Junior Brother forged and strengthened for me, we might not be afraid of him in a one-on-one fight."

"What I'm worried about is that they won't fight us one-on-one!" Second Senior Sister Su Qing said with a slight worry.

Senior Sister Qi Xue, however, saw things clearly and said, "This is not something we can decide. Junior Brother said, 'When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it.' How they make their moves is their business; how we respond is our business."

"Junior Brother is right. Senior Sister, look at Junior Brother. Although he seems timid and hesitant, he can be so calm and decisive when faced with important matters," said Second Senior Sister Su Qing with great admiration.

Senior Sister Qi Xue said, "I sensed this when we killed the third leader of the bandits. Our junior brother was probably very dignified and experienced many important events in the past. However, he was too spoiled, so he didn't know how to handle some small things. For example, he was completely clueless about things like dressing and doing chores. It's like he's never experienced the realities of life."

“That’s right.” These words made Second Senior Sister Su Qing’s smile particularly bright.

Thinking of her junior brother, she couldn't help but feel amused.

"I wonder how my junior brother and junior sister are doing now. Are they doing well? Have they eaten dinner?" The second senior sister couldn't help but worry again, concerned about whether Ye Liang and Yang Ting were doing well outside.

"They will definitely be safe and sound." Senior Sister Qi Xue herself didn't have the answer, but she was willing to send her best wishes, hoping that Ye Liang and Yang Ting would have a smooth journey outside, that they would eat well, and that they would sleep warmly.

——

It was clear that we wouldn't be able to reach that plain today; by the time we reached the mountaintop, it was already evening.

Ye Liang and his junior sister were lucky. Although they didn't find a cave to live in on the mountaintop, they were on their way down the mountain. While the junior sister was using a pickaxe to break rocks and look for ore, she discovered a space in a pile of rocks where several rocks were stuck together naturally. The entrance was narrow, but there was still some room inside, just enough for the two of them to stay.

It was getting dark, so the two decided to stay there.

The space formed by these huge rocks, though drafty, was a good place to live, as it could keep out the rain and protect against attacks from wild beasts.

It's really no worse than a cave.

It's just that it's a bit dark inside.

To prevent people from being choked by smoke, the fires for lighting and heating could only be lit near the exit. Although the fires provided some light, they still couldn't illuminate the interior.

However, this also has its own unique charm.

Ye Liang and his junior sister Yang Ting huddled inside, eating the fragrant pancakes made by their second senior sister, along with the braised pig's head meat. It was quite a unique experience.

After eating, it was time to rest. The junior sister went out again and cut a lot of mountain grass, laying another thick layer of mountain grass under Ye Liang's buttocks.

"You're frail and often get sick. Make sure to lay out a thick layer of dry grass at night so you won't catch a cold." The junior sister was so thoughtful that Ye Liang couldn't help but think that such a girl was truly virtuous.

She's much more caring than those young, model girlfriends on Earth.

Ye Liang enjoyed his junior sister's care with peace of mind, leaning against the slightly cool stone wall. His junior sister covered him with a quilt; this was how they would spend the night outside.

In the wild, don't think about things as formal as laying out a bed or covering a roof.
