Qin Yi stared at her smiling eyes, and certain images from the cave flashed through his mind. He lowered his eyes to hide the strangeness in them.
"You saved me, what do you want?"
Nanqianyue raised an eyebrow slightly and joked, "I want your wealth and fortune, will you give it to me or not?"
Qin Yi composed himself, remained silent for a few seconds, and then nodded. "Here you go."
Nanqianyue chuckled, not taking his words seriously. "How did you end up lying in that valley? Did you fall in?"
Qin Yi paused for a moment, then answered truthfully, "I was ambushed and fell down."
"And you?" he asked.
The moon remained unchanged as it moved south, and a half-truth, half-lies came out of his mouth: "I only remember suddenly falling into the water, struggling to swim ashore, and then meeting you. I don't remember anything else."
Qin Yi stared into her eyes and asked, "What about your home? Have you forgotten that too?"
Nanqianyue's pupils flickered slightly, and her lie sounded very convincing. "Well, I don't remember any of it. I only remember my name. As for where I came from and why I fell off the cliff... I've forgotten."

That day, Bai Shu passed by the tents of the Southern Migration Month and happened to see her walking out listlessly.
Why does Miss Nan look so haggard?
Nanqianyue approached Baishu with drooping shoulders and said pitifully, "I want to eat something good, otherwise I'll really be going to heaven."
Bai Shu couldn't help but chuckle. He glanced at the patrolling soldiers, covered his mouth with his hand, and whispered, "I've set traps for wild animals on the mountain, and I'm going to collect them now. Want to come along?"
Nanqianyue's eyes lit up, "Go, go, go!"
Qin Yi emerged from the marshal's tent, covered in wounds. As he headed towards the council tent, two figures walked past him, pulling and whispering among themselves.
"Brother Bai, I've never had pheasant soup before. Do you know how to make it?"
"Don't worry, Yue, my cooking skills are pretty good."
Qin Yi watched the departing figure, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.
Brother Bai...A-Yue...
