Ye Liang told her to go and rest immediately, and the eldest senior sister agreed, but still said, "There's no rush. We haven't done the patrol this morning. I'll accompany my junior brothers and sisters on the patrol, and then I'll go back to rest with the second senior sister. What do you think, junior brother?"

It's already quite remarkable that the eldest sister agreed to take a rest.

Ye Liang naturally had no objections.

Naturally, they readily agreed.

"Alright then. Let's go patrol the mountain gate." Ye Liang smiled, reached out and called to his second senior sister and junior senior sister to follow along.

Both senior sisters laughed immediately and gladly followed.

Even the little deer, the junior sister's pet deer, was in high spirits, hopping and skipping behind her as Ye Liang patrolled the mountain gate.

This mountain gate is probably new to it everywhere, so it is very willing to follow people around.

We arrived at the mountain gate together, but before we even reached it, we saw figures moving around there.

Someone's there!

Upon seeing them approach, the men immediately emerged from their hiding places and quickly fled down the mountain.

"Junior brother, should we kill him?" Senior Sister Qi Xue asked with an icy expression.

Those figures moving about were clearly sent by the bandits to monitor the movements of the Bixian Sect.

Upon seeing them appear at the mountain gate, they hurriedly retreated.

Ye Liang said, "Let them be. We'll clean up together tonight."

"Hmm." Ye Liang spoke, and Senior Sister Qi Xue did exactly as Ye Liang said, without feeling that there was anything wrong with it.

Although he is a junior brother, he is a man, and his abilities have been recognized by them. Therefore, when it comes to letting him take charge of important matters, the female senior sisters will not only not feel uneasy, but will feel extremely at ease.

With Ye Liang's words, the senior sisters no longer needed to rush into action. They walked slowly and followed Ye Liang up to the mountain gate.

Standing here, with a commanding view, they could clearly see the bandits who had been sent to monitor them staggering away and running far away. Then they looked back at the mountain gate, and seeing that they were not being chased, they stopped running.

They continued to lie in wait in the woods on both sides of the mountain road, keeping a close watch on the movements of the Bixian Sect.

"Senior sister, look, at the foot of the mountain." The second senior sister noticed something at the foot of the mountain and gently reminded the eldest senior sister.

The eldest sister said, "I saw it too. Junior brother, look."

The eldest sister let Ye Liang see it too.

Ye Liang nodded and said, "I saw it too."

At the foot of the mountain, a campsite appeared.

The camp is still under construction.

There are now five or six camps.

It looks like we'll need to set up five or six more tents.

Each tent can accommodate about ten people.

In other words, this camp has a population of about one hundred.

Smoke was already rising from the campsite.

It looked like they were already cooking meat over a fire, and the bandits were going to have a big feast at noon.

"What are they doing? It looks like they're cutting down trees?" Standing on the mountain and looking down at the foot of the mountain, the distance is so great that even a person looks like a tiny ant, barely visible.

It was only vaguely discernible that they were cutting down trees, big trees.

Besides setting up camp, they also sent a group of people to cut down large trees, making it unclear what they were up to.

Cutting down trees and chopping firewood?

That wouldn't require that much firewood.

Firewood for cooking can be easily found in the woods, so why cut down fresh, damp trees that are difficult to burn?

"They're building a siege engine. Like a catapult, it can launch stones up and throw them out, enough to kill people." Even if the young master is ignorant, he would know about catapults used in ancient sieges.

Upon closer inspection, it looked familiar; I recognized it as a trebuchet.

"What are they trying to do? I thought they were going to attack our Bixian Sect, so they just brought their entire force and came to kill us. How could they be so cruel, going to such lengths to attack a sect with only four members, even going so far as to build catapults without fear of exhaustion?" The second senior sister was furious.

If the bandits come to attack, let them attack. Their sect is small, so it's their own fault for being bullied. They'll just fight back when the time comes.

However, the attack was excessive, like building a catapult. To attack a sect with only four members was like preparing to attack a large city. This was simply too much of a bully.

This is clearly a plan to wipe them out completely.

It's likely that even their mountain gate will be destroyed by such powerful siege machinery.

"Junior brother, we can't let their catapults destroy the mountain gate. Give the order! Let's charge in now! Let's fight them to the death!"

Even the usually calm and aloof senior sister couldn't stay composed this time.

They wanted to kill them right now and fight those bandits to the death.

Ye Liang smiled and said, "Senior Sister, you shouldn't be such an impulsive person. Calm down, especially now. A great general should remain calm even when the earth is crumbling before the three armies.

At times like these, the calmness and composure that Da Shao has gained through his experience navigating the ups and downs of the business world become apparent.

"Junior brother, do you think we shouldn't go down and fight? Are we going to wait for them to build their catapults and then attack us?" The second senior sister also became anxious.

"Ye Liang, are you scared? If you are, then let the three of us senior sisters go. You stay here and guard the mountain gate." The junior sister also felt a little resentful towards Ye Liang.

These words made Ye Liang smile, and he said to his junior sister, "Junior sister, we've been through thick and thin together for several days now. Do you think I'm someone who's afraid of death?"

"Of course you're not. But then why don't you agree to let us fight the bandits? By the time they've finished building their siege engines, it'll be too late." The junior sister said anxiously.
