However, before the people who made the sounds even entered the room, Quan Ji grabbed Jun Chenlan's waist with both hands, lifted him up, and threw him under the bed. The blanket on top could cover what was happening underneath, and the two ended up embracing each other in a strange way.

Jun Chenlan's legs are relatively long, so he has to bend over slightly to avoid being noticed. Quan Ji hugs his waist, keenly suppressing her energy fluctuations, and uses the Pisces Pearl to strengthen the Truth Script "Hidden", concealing the aura and energy of both of them, and their bodies begin to become semi-transparent.

Jun Chenlan asked in confusion, "Why do I have to hide too?"

Looking into his dark eyes, Quan Ji couldn't think of a reason for him, but it seemed that she just wanted Jun Chenlan to hide with her.

Therefore, she chose not to let Jun Chenlan speak: "Don't talk, just hold me."

Jun Chenlan didn't know what Quan Ji wanted to do, he just said "Oh" and obediently placed his large hands on Quan Ji's waist.

Their contact became even closer, as if every cell in their bodies was mingling with heat.

It was an ambiguous yet not too close state, which made the atmosphere under the bed start to get hot. Jun Chenlan's Adam's apple bobbed twice. He closed his eyes to stop himself from thinking wildly, and drops of hot sweat flowed from his back.

Only then did the people outside officially enter.

Nightfire: "Where is the person... I'm pretty sure the sound came from this direction."

Feng Simian slowly walked to the brick, bent down to look at it, and used her wind-type ability to investigate: "The wind tells me that the disturbance here did not last long, and the source of the sound is here."

Sophia also looked at the large hole in the ceiling, where a ray of moonlight shone down. Perhaps because the air here was rather murky, the Tyndall effect gave the moonlight a shape.

She said, "They must have left from up there...or, I suspect, they were ambushed."

At that moment, everyone held their breath and tensed up.

So the elves couldn't hold back any longer?

However, now that they've arrived, we must be fully prepared and not let any of the elves' schemes succeed!

Nightfire said, "All Night Elves, go on high alert! If you discover any trace of the Elves, you must report it immediately!"

Sophia also commanded: "Elves belonging to the New Elf race, beware of attacks from the Old Faction. The young lady has already helped us a lot, and we absolutely cannot let her down at this crucial moment. If we hold her back, everything we have done will be meaningless."

So everyone sprang into action, searching everywhere for any trace of the elves.

The culprit, Quan Ji, who couldn't bear to be dragged down, awkwardly hugged Jun Chenlan's waist.

Jun Chenlan was also somewhat amused and exasperated: "Aren't you going to go out and explain?"

Quan Ji: "I can't hear you, I can't hear you, I can't hear you."

This is so embarrassing! What a huge blunder! She came so discreetly, yet so many people came looking for her and caused such a commotion. What kind of behavior is this?!

Jun Chenlan was also helpless. "Fine, if I can't hear you, let's find another place. This place is too narrow."

Quan Ji nodded.

The next second, Jun Chenlan's energy fluctuations amplified, and his spatial abilities enveloped the two of them, teleporting them to a giant tree.

This is a rare tree species that can grow in the Grand Canyon. It is called the bigleaf tree, and as its name suggests, it has very large and dense leaves that provide excellent cover.

Quan Ji breathed a sigh of relief when she sensed that there was no one else around: "To make such a big fuss, although I don't usually care about this, but suddenly being involved in an enemy attack... Rather than making me feel embarrassed, it's better to let them keep busy and raise our guard."

Jun Chenlan smiled without saying a word, looking at Quan Ji: "It's so late, is there something important you want to see me about?"

Quan Ji: "Wait, I haven't read what you just wrote yet."

Jun Chenlan casually raised his chin: "See? No need to rush."

Quan Ji's eyes also smiled, turning into crescent moons.

She straightened the piece of paper that Jun Chenlan had written and read the words on it carefully.

The handwriting on this piece is very beautiful, just like Jun Chenlan himself. It is neat and upright, with clear and powerful strokes and pauses, giving it the air of a master calligrapher.

It was exactly the same as what I saw at the beginning, which was impressive.

Quan Ji saw the first line of text.

There is someone I will always need to protect.

Two words were written below.

【Quan Ji.】

Upon seeing this, Quan Ji couldn't help but purse her lips and looked up at Jun Chenlan's chin: "You wrote this just for this?"

Jun Chenlan nodded, her face flushing slightly, clearly a little embarrassed. "I think... my memories will slowly awaken, which proves that I have forgotten something. I'm afraid I will suddenly forget you, so I want to record my protection of you forever."
