"Gather everyone! That omega from the leader's territory has escaped! Search for him!"

Suddenly someone shouted.

Xia Shizhao, who was passing by, calmly fastened his hat and quickened his pace.

Fortunately, no one noticed her, and Xia Shizhao, who was on edge, successfully left the base.

This was all desolate wilderness. Xia Shizhao, who had run out of the base, was stunned. All around him were trees and mountains.

"Zhaozhao? What are you doing here?"

Jun Yuyuan looked at Xia Shizhao, who was in a disheveled state, with surprise, and walked to her side with concern. "It's good that you're alright. There are wanted posters everywhere outside, so it's safe for you to hide here."

Upon seeing an acquaintance in this godforsaken place, Xia Shizhao took a wary step back. "Sister Yuyuan? You...have connections with the Third Organization?"

"Ah, yes, there are some financial dealings involved. The thousand bottles of potion you ordered before were what they wanted."

"Huh? Never mind, I'll stop talking about it now."

Seeing that things were not going well, Xia Shizhao lifted his leg to leave, but Jun Yuyuan grabbed his arm and pulled him back.

She spoke anxiously, her brows furrowed, "I know you've been dragged down by your parents, but you can't go out like this. People are looking for you everywhere; it's dangerous to go out."

"Sister, stop arguing. If I don't leave here, I'll die a much worse death."

She abruptly shook off Jun Yuyuan's hand, and seeing the person running towards her from behind, Xia Shizhao ran into the forest without turning her head.

Completely bewildered, Jun Yuyuan glanced at the people in front of him, then at Xia Shizhao who was running into the depths of the forest, utterly lost in thought.

Jun Yuyuan was on a mission when Xia Shizhao was forced into marriage. When he returned, he learned that Xia Shizhao had been forced into marriage and had escaped. Later, the Xia family had an accident, and Xia Shizhao was wanted again.

I came here to find someone to look for Xia Shizhao and protect her.

So what's the current situation?

Ye Qiuling walked into the forest with a menacing aura, only to find Jun Yuyuan standing there in a daze. "What are you doing here?"

"Ah, I need your help with something."

"Let me finish what I'm doing first."

"Wait a minute, I'm a little curious why that group of people were chasing after an omega. Can I go and see what's going on?"

"what ever."

After saying that, she quickly ran into the forest.

Hiding in the tree, Xia Shizhao watched as the person chasing him ran to the left, and immediately chose the right path.

"Yes, yes, run that way! There's a cliff there, we can jump off!"

"Keep your voice down, it's too noisy."

Xia Shizhao felt dizzy and a little out of it, but he still gritted his teeth and ran in the direction it pointed out.

"I've found you."

Ye Qiuling's voice came from behind him. Xia Shizhao didn't dare to turn his head and ran away.

With Ye Qiuling's hand gripping his neck and lifting his body up, Xia Shizhao struggled desperately, clinging to her hand.

"I didn't expect you to be able to run this far even after being poisoned."

"Chief Ye, I think there might be some misunderstanding between you? My friend hasn't done anything wrong, has he?"

Jun Yuyuan, who had caught up, saw Xia Shizhao being strangled to death and his pupils contracted.

Ye Qiuling turned her head slightly to look at her, her tone sinister, "So, you want to go against me?"

With a wave of his hands, Jun Yuyuan shook his head honestly, "The Jun family has no intention of going against the third organization."

After saying that, she turned to leave.

"Ha ha········"

Ye Qiuling threw the nearly unconscious Xia Shizhao on the ground and looked at him with disdain, seeing him as a stray dog.

Xia Shizhao sat on the ground, his face flushed, panting heavily, his head bowed as he covered his purplish-blue neck and trembled.

Jun Yuyuan used his energy to instantly lift Xia Shizhao up and run away.

"Hmm? I didn't expect you to be so loyal, Jun Yuyuan."

Ye Qiuling remained calm and slowly walked in the direction they had gone. There was a cliff ahead, and they couldn't run far.

"Jun, Yuyuan...you, you don't need to worry about me, put me down and run in the opposite direction."

After speaking haltingly, Xia Shizhao struggled to get down.

"No, Ye Qiuling is ruthless. I don't know how you offended her. I contacted my men. As long as we delay for a while, we can escape. With the Jun family around, nothing will happen."

Jun Yuyuan ran as fast as he could, afraid of being caught up.

"Thank you for your kindness... but you should still go back, don't offend her too much."

Xia Shizhao replied listlessly, "And..."

"Fuck, cliff!"

Jun Yuyuan, carrying Xia Shizhao on his back, saw the empty road ahead and cursed angrily before suddenly stopping.

Her reaction was genuinely funny; Xia Shizhao, weak and lacking energy, burst out laughing, "Hahahaha~"

"What are you laughing at?!"

"Sorry, it's just a little funny..."

Xia Shizhao wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. "Consider it a bittersweet experience. Put me down now."

Are you able to stand firmly?

Jun Yuyuan was a little worried, but Xia Shizhao felt a warmth in his heart and a warm smile appeared on his pale face. "Stand firm. You will have to apologize to Ye Qiuling later. She has only been in that position for a short time and will not easily offend the Jun family. Besides, your talent in alchemy should not be underestimated. The Alchemy Association will not allow her to act recklessly."

"Then what will you do?"

"Don't worry about me. You've been good enough to me. I'll repay you if I have the chance."

"You! Don't speak!"

Jun Yuyuan suddenly cupped her face in his hands, his voice trembling, "Are you alright? Your mouth and nose are bleeding..."

Xia Shizhao, who had shut down his senses, wiped his mouth and then noticed that blood was flowing out in spurts. He replied nonchalantly, "I guess the strenuous exercise caused the toxins to spread."

She slowly walked towards the edge of the cliff, squinting as she looked down. It was quite high up here, and the soft, fluffy clouds looked so comforting.

Ye Qiuling stopped ten meters away from them. Jun Yuyuan pointed the energy gun at Ye Qiuling, but Ye Qiuling glanced at her casually, not taking it seriously at all, and threatened:

"Xia Shizhao, if you know what's good for you, come back."

"Ye Qiuling, you are really outstanding, but your personality is quite awful..."

Ignoring the threats, Xia Shizhao stood with his back to them, his voice neither too loud nor too soft, but loud enough for everyone to hear, "When others ask about your preferences, you stammer and act all evasive. If someone is nice to you, you think they want to hurt you. You always trample on other people's feelings. Anyone who can like you is truly despicable..."

The last word, "I like you," was so faint it dissipated into the air, and no one heard it.

A hint of surprise flashed in Ye Qiuling's eyes. "What do you mean?"

"It doesn't mean anything. Didn't you want to know who the person who took such good care of you back in your first year of high school was?"

Xia Shizhao's voice carried a hint of mockery, "I know, but whether you can find me is another matter. Maybe by the time you do, she'll be dead."

What did you do to her?

Ye Qiuling suddenly felt panicked, and her calm facade cracked slightly. She hurriedly strode towards Xia Shizhao. Xia Shizhao turned to look at her, a slight smile playing on his lips, his expression languid and nonchalant. "Want to know? Go find it yourself."

He arrogantly gave her the middle finger, leaned back, and floated into the cliff like a piece of paper.

"Tokiaki!!!"

Jun Yuyuan reached out to grab her, but his subordinates who caught up quickly pulled him back.

Ye Qiuling covered her head and looked at the cliff. Her spiritual body was injured, which was why it couldn't hold her back. But how could an S-level spiritual body have injured her?

What did Xia Shizhao mean by what he just said?

"Chief!!! Are you alright?"

When her subordinates arrived, Ye Qiuling regained her indifferent expression, straightened up, and waved her hand, "Go back now, go to the Xia family."

"Ah? The Xia family..."

The subordinates exchanged bewildered glances. "Someone just said the Xia family's house caught fire..."

"Ye Qiuling!"

Jun Yuyuan, standing to the side, glared at her angrily, "I'm going to kill you!"

Ye Qiuling glanced coldly at the bodyguards behind her, raising her chin slightly, "Keep an eye on your young lady, I have no time to play with her."

With that, he led a group of people away from the cliff in a great hurry.

All that remained was a heartbroken Jun Yuyuan, staring blankly at the cliff.

She wiped away her tears, composed herself, and said coldly, "Make the Munan Association do as I say and cut off all the drugs supplied by the Third Organization."

"Huh? Boss... this profit..."

"If you say another word, you can get out of here too."

"Yes, I'll pass the word on right away."
