"Did you find anything?"
"No, is he not here?"
"It's hard to say. Take your men to search those two roads first. Old Xu and I will search the Lingquan area."
"good."
"Hurry up, Hall Master Zhang will be here soon. If we can make a contribution in front of her, we will be indispensable in the future."
"Don't worry, Brother Zhou, I'll take people there."
Sailor Ning Zhi pressed on the transparent jade silk and realized that it would take at least half an hour before it could be used again.
But as it stands now, it is undoubtedly too late.
She quietly crept down, holding a dagger in her hand, close to the edge of the spiritual spring.
After Brother Zhou and Old Xu waited for everyone else to leave, they started searching around the Lingquan. The terrain here was relatively simple and there was no place to hide people, so they found the Lingquan quickly.
"I'll go in and take a look." Brother Zhou said to Old Xu.
"There's no one here, right? I think they've left a long time ago." Old Xu said after glancing at Lingquan.
"I'll always feel uneasy if I don't look for him first, and it will be difficult to explain to Master Zhang later. I'm going down now."
Brother Zhou jumped into the spiritual spring and slowly sank.
Old Xu stood outside and watched for a while, but didn't notice any movement, so he continued to look nearby.
Suddenly, he heard a sound coming from the water, pretending to be Brother Zhou's groan, and the sound of someone splashing in the water.
Old Xu felt something was amiss and came closer. "Brother Zhou? How's it going? Did you find anything?"
But there was no movement below.
He looked down but couldn't see anything. After waiting for a while, he found that there was no movement below, and he instinctively felt that something was wrong.
I jumped in as well, swam and called Brother Zhou's name.
Suddenly, he felt something tight under his feet, as if a hand suddenly grabbed his ankle and pulled him straight down!
"Brother Zhou..."
He thought it was Brother Zhou and asked in confusion, but before he could finish his words, the man had already taken a big gulp of the spiritual spring and his body was completely immersed in the spring water.
Then he saw the person in the water clearly.
Her face was young, smooth and delicate, but her expression was cold and awe-inspiring, and her long black hair fluttered behind her.
It was obviously a beautiful scene, but Old Xu couldn't help but feel creepy.
Who is this child?
Where is Brother Zhou?
Perhaps Ning Zhishui's age was too deceptive. Even though he felt the danger at that moment, he did not realize in time that Ning Zhishui and the person who stole the crystal ore were the same person!
Ning Zhishui's dagger pierced his chest along the water flow, and at the moment he died, his body was collected into the Qiankun space.
A bloody color spread in the water, but soon the water returned to its normal color, without any trace of blood-red.
Ning Zhishui surfaced, looked around warily, and planned to rush out.
We can't stay here any longer. The Hall Master Zhang they are talking about must be Zhang Su. She will definitely bring everyone here soon.
If I stay in the spiritual spring all the time, they will be trapped in a jar and I will have no way to escape.
It would be better to try to break out of the encirclement before anyone arrives. Maybe there will still be a chance.
It was still dark outside, but there was no need for life under the cover of night.
Ning Zhishui used a spell to dry the water off her body, then put on her veil and prepared to leave.
But at this moment, a warm body suddenly came up from behind her, and a hand tightly grasped her wrist. Just as Ning Zhishui tensed up and prepared to grab the dagger to fight back, a familiar voice rang out from the other party -
"It's me, don't make any noise, just follow me."
His breath sprayed behind Ning Zhishui's ear, causing her to shiver, but she suddenly calmed down.
Ning Zhishui let go of his guard and nodded.
But she didn't know how the other party was going to take her away. There were people all around. Were they planning to fight their way out like she did?
If you want to escape from here safely, you have to grow wings and fly away!
When Ning Zhishui thought of this, he suddenly had an idea and looked up at the sky.
The spiritual spring is located in a valley with towering cliffs on all sides, and there is not much space in the middle for flying.
This greatly limits the vast majority of flying magical instruments, because it is difficult for them to soar completely vertically into the sky.
But Ning Zhishui was not looking at this, but... a bird on the top of the cliff.
The bird has a golden head and a blue tail. It is very beautiful, and its tail feathers are especially beautiful.
At this moment, it was swooping down, its smooth and picturesque figure, whistling through the wind, and in the blink of an eye it was in front of the two of them.
The closer we got, the bigger its size became. It looked like a small flying boat, definitely not the size of an ordinary bird.
"Come up."
The person behind him exerted a little force and Ning Zhishui flew into the air. When he reacted, he had already landed on the back of the bird.
Her body was unstable and swaying a little. The person behind her was silent for a moment, then reached out and put his arm around her waist.
Her back rested against his chest, and she could feel the rise and fall of his breathing.
The bird flapped its wings and flew smoothly into the air, seemingly effortlessly and without even making much noise.
A gust of wind blew towards Ning Zhishui's face, causing it to hurt.
She watched the spiritual spring beneath her feet getting farther and farther away, and seemed to be able to faintly see the Zhang family searching in the distance.
After flying to the top of the cliff, the bird did not stop, but continued to flap its wings and fly all the way. Everything below seemed extremely quiet. Ning Zhishui looked up and saw a bright full moon.
Ning Zhishui turned his head to look at the person behind him. The moonlight made his face look as white as jade. Under his long eyelashes were dark eyes, and he was looking at her without blinking.
Ning Zhishui looked at him for a moment, then turned away indifferently, leaving the man sighing softly.
After a while, the bird stopped in a woodland, where a young man was standing with his neck stretched out.
"Young Master, you are finally back!"
Jiang Yun breathed a sigh of relief.
The bird landed on the ground, shook its body, and then its body became smaller and smaller, and even its color and pattern changed.
Until it became the size of a sparrow, a gray bird, and then landed on Jiang Yun's shoulder.
"Go get some food." Dongfang Jing said to Jiang Yun.
Jiang Yun agreed, looked at the young master, then looked at the silent Ning Zhishui, and tactfully took his leave.
"Come sit here."
Dongfang Jing walked towards a rocky beach, found a flat stone and patted it.
Ning Zhishui stood there without moving.
Dongfang Jing scratched his head and walked towards her again, "You... do you have something to say to me?"
Ning Zhishui looked at him but said nothing.
"...I was wrong. I shouldn't have followed you." Dongfang Jing coughed lightly, his eyes evasive. "I originally just wanted to see what you were secretly planning to do, but then I guessed what you were planning and became worried about your safety, so I followed you all the way here."
