Chapter 210 Don’t worry, I will always be by your side!

At this moment, Zhong Min was indeed extremely panicked. This sudden feeling of fear was so strong and terrifying for the first time, as if she was about to lose one of her closest relatives. It was so inexplicable that she almost fell off her horse.

She knew exactly what this feeling meant. Her premonitions were always accurate, especially her early perception of danger. But at this moment, her body was experiencing such a strong bad feeling, which meant that something bad was definitely going to happen. However, this time, apart from panic, she seemed unable to think of anything else.

She had no idea what it would be like, who it would be related to, or how it would all turn out. She only knew that her heart suddenly felt empty, and she felt like she was about to cry.

Qin Ke held onto Zhong Min's seemingly drained body tightly, his heart pounding with worry. This was the first time he'd seen Zhong Min like this, the first time a girl with such determination and courage could be so helpless. "Silly girl, why are you saying this? No matter what happens, I'll always be by your side! Sit down and rest for a while. You must be tired."

Zhong Min knew that she was not tired, but she really needed to sit quietly on the ground for a while to recover and adjust herself. Otherwise, if she allowed the inexplicable panic to spread, the consequences would be unimaginable.

He nodded, followed Qin Ke and slowly moved to the side to find a high place to sit down. Xiao Liu didn't know what happened to Zhong Min, but he just quickly pulled the horse aside and tied it up according to Qin Ke's instructions, and then took out the water bag and handed it over.

"Drink some water." Qin Ke put the water bag in Zhong Min's hand, but didn't say much else. Seeing Zhong Min like this, he suddenly had a bad feeling, but he was just worried.

Zhong Min took several deep breaths and drank a few sips of water, trying to calm herself. After sitting there for a while, her complexion finally improved slightly, but the fear deep within her heart remained undimmed. She didn't speak, nor did she look at Qin Ke or Xiao Liu. She seemed to be in her own world, meditating.

Calm down, calm down! Zhong Min repeatedly warned herself in her heart, trying to grasp the inexplicable fear and find some clues. But it was just a feeling, a unique sixth sense that belonged to her. Trying to really understand it seemed futile.

After a while, she finally opened her eyes and her emotions gradually stabilized. She turned her head and glanced at the person next to her. Qin Ke was sitting quietly beside her, watching over her. Although he didn't say a word, his eyes never left her from beginning to end.

Seeing Zhong Min looking at him, and his expression seemed to be much better than before, Qin Ke asked with concern: "Are you feeling better?"

Zhong Minyi nodded, her mood clearly low. After a moment's hesitation, she said to Qin Ke, "Brother Qin, I have a feeling something bad is going to happen. I suddenly felt panicky for no reason, and I also felt an unprecedented fear."

"Silly girl, you're overthinking it." Qin Ke comforted Zhong Min, "Our journey has been turbulent to begin with, but don't worry, no matter what, I will protect you well and bring you safely to Muzhou."

"No, that's not the case, Brother Qin, you don't understand!" Zhong Min seemed very frustrated. She shook her head and said to Qin Ke, "My senses have always been very accurate, especially when it comes to predicting danger. I've never failed before. But this time, the feeling was particularly strong. Also, you don't know, it may not be me who is in danger, but anyone or anything related to me could be in danger. So, now I'm very worried. If it were just me, it would be fine, but if it were..."

Having said that, Zhong Min stopped talking. She didn't know who she was worried about at the moment. Maybe it was Xiao Mingzheng, maybe it was Qin Ke, maybe it was Xier, maybe it was Xiaowu, Xiaoliu, and so on.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything!" Qin Ke naturally understood what Zhong Min meant. He took over the conversation considerately and said, "Listen to me, don't overthink it. No matter what happens, I will be by your side and will not leave."

His eyes were warm and reassuring, which made people feel relaxed. After a moment, Zhong Min could only sigh slightly, nodded, and said no more.

"If you've rested enough, let's keep going. We'll find houses a little further ahead. We can stay there and have a good rest." Qin Ke looked at the sky, then at Zhong Min: "Can we still ride horses?"

Zhong Min nodded again and stood up with the help of Qin Ke. Seeing this, Xiao Liu immediately prepared to lead the horse over, but just as they were about to mount the horse, an extremely strange laugh suddenly came from nowhere, which made people feel creepy.

"Who is it?" Zhong Min frowned and looked around quickly, but he didn't see anyone. However, the laughter continued, getting closer and closer like a ghost.

Qin Ke's expression was also extremely solemn. He tightly guarded Zhong Min to his side, while Xiao Liu also looked as if he was facing a formidable enemy. Clearly, this voice was unusual. Although Zhong Min himself had experienced rebirth, he still did not believe in ghosts. It seemed that this inexplicable voice belonged to an extremely powerful person, otherwise Qin Ke and Xiao Liu would not be so serious.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here!" Qin Ke sensed Zhong Min's nervousness and reached out to shake her hand, reassuring her. "It's nothing strange. This person simply possesses extremely strong internal energy, and his ability to transmit sound through the air is quite remarkable."

After hearing this, Zhong Min asked with a hint of doubt, "Are you saying that there are experts coming towards us?"

"Yes, a top master, although there is only one person, but he can defeat thousands of troops." Qin Ke said very objectively. He did not want to hide it from Zhong Min. It seems that this battle is extremely dangerous, and Zhong Min's premonition before is likely to come true again.

"How's that compared to you?" Zhong Min knew Qin Ke's abilities. Xiao Mingzheng had said before that there were few masters like Qin Ke left in the world. It was just that Qin Ke was missing an arm, so she asked this question immediately.

"If it were before, we would be evenly matched, but now it's hard to say." Qin Keyi remained calm and did not lose confidence. "Don't worry, he should be here soon. Let's see what the situation is first."

Seeing this, Zhong Min didn't ask any more questions, but the bad feeling in her heart lingered in her mind again. She gradually understood that it seemed that this time the bad premonition should be directed at them.

As he was speaking, the laughter stopped, and soon, a figure suddenly appeared from nowhere like lightning, ten meters away, and walked towards Zhong Min and others slowly.

"It's him!" Qin Ke's expression became more and more solemn. From what he said, he must know this person and had guessed it just now.

"Who is he?" Zhong Min looked at the figure getting closer and closer to them and couldn't help but ask Qin Ke, "Do you know him?"

"I know her, but it's been a long time." Qin Ke said to Xiao Liu beside him, "You stay where you are and protect her. I'll go over and take a look."

"Yes!" Xiao Liu immediately took the order. Even if Qin Ke didn't give any orders, he would still protect Zhong Min well.

"Be careful!" Zhong Min pulled Qin Ke and warned him worriedly, her eyes full of worry. She knew that Qin Ke would inevitably have to go forward to meet the mysterious person, so she had to ask him to be extra careful.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Qin Ke smiled comfortably, glanced sideways at Zhong Min, indicating that she didn't need to worry, and then strode forward towards the mysterious man who had stopped.

Zhong Min stared intently ahead. Qin Ke was already standing face to face with the mysterious man, only ten steps between them. With his back to her, she couldn't see his expression, but she could hear his voice clearly.

"Long time no see, how have you been these years, senior brother?" Qin Ke spoke, and to Zhong Min's surprise, he called the mysterious man "senior brother".

The mysterious man looked to be in his forties and had an extremely ordinary appearance, but the gleam in his eyes made it clear at a glance that he was definitely not an ordinary person.

Hearing Qin Ke call him "Senior Brother", the man laughed heartily and said happily, "It's really not easy to hear you call me Senior Brother. I remember when Master drove me down the mountain, you hadn't returned to the capital yet. I never heard you call me Senior Brother back then."

"Qin Ke was just a child back then. He was a loner and seldom communicated with others. If I have been disrespectful, please forgive me, senior brother." Qin Ke's tone was quite respectful. Although this man had been kicked out of the sect, they were still from the same sect after all, so it was not an exaggeration to call him senior brother.

"Well, since you still respect me as your senior brother, then I, Nian Buyue, will naturally take care of you, my junior brother." Nian Buyue said proudly, "Junior brother, after all, you are also our master's closed disciple. Although your training time is not as long as mine, the fact that you can leave the mountain means that your skills have reached the master's approval. With your ability, how come you can't even keep your own arms? Tell me, who did this? Tell me, senior brother, and I will chop off both of his arms for you to avenge you!"

"Thank you, Senior Brother, but it's not necessary. I cut off this arm myself. It has nothing to do with others." Qin Ke naturally didn't care about this and said, "Senior Brother, you suddenly appeared today. It shouldn't be a coincidence, right?"

Upon hearing this, Nian Buyue burst into laughter again. He ignored Qin Ke's question and continued what he had said before, "I thought it was you. Junior brother, you cut off your own arm so readily. You must have something to ask for, right? Let me guess. I guess that to do such a stupid thing and not care at all about self-harm, it must be for the woman you love, right?"

At this point, Nian Buyue suddenly looked up at Zhong Min, raised an eyebrow and said to Qin Ke, "Is it because of her?"
