However, Nan Zhiyun didn't dare to get too close. If they weren't good people, she definitely wouldn't be able to escape. So, Nan Zhiyun always kept a relatively far distance.
But after a short while, she realized that the person in the distance had disappeared. Nan Zhiyun was at a loss, not knowing what to do, but since there was no one around, she couldn't ask for help, so she could only continue walking forward alone.
Unexpectedly, she suddenly heard a sound, as if people were talking. Nan Zhiyun immediately held her breath, afraid to make a sound or move. She crouched down on the spot, using the dense grass to conceal herself from being discovered. She stayed there quietly, and then faintly heard the voices of others talking again.
Nan Zhiyun didn't hear clearly, but she seemed to hear Yu Jingchen's name, and something about a spring hunt and an opportunity. Nan Zhiyun felt a little nervous. Could these people be assassins? Just as Nan Zhiyun was still lost in thought, she heard the two men say something about something being just ahead, and something about no return, and that they absolutely couldn't be discovered.
Could they really be assassins? Nan Zhiyun's heart pounded. Had they set up some kind of trap ahead? After a while, when she heard no more sounds, Nan Zhiyun dared to stand up.
There was no one around, and she didn't know who had been speaking. Nan Zhiyun looked at the darkening sky and felt a pang of fear. She desperately wanted to find a way out, but she had absolutely no sense of direction.
Besides, she felt uneasy after overhearing what those people said. So… she made a bold decision: since she couldn't leave anyway, she might as well go look for them. After all… what if she stumbled upon them by chance? Those people seemed to have already left, so the opportunity was perfect.
However... Nan Zhiyun was also afraid that Yu Jingchen would be angry if he found out later.
But...he probably doesn't know what I've done, right? After all, I couldn't control the horse getting spooked, and he shouldn't know what I'm about to do. At worst, I can just say I got lost...
Nan Zhiyun didn't know where she got such courage. But things had already come to this point, what could she do? She might as well go and see for herself.
With that, Nan Zhiyun mustered her courage and continued walking forward. Although she didn't know which direction the "ahead" she had just heard was, she felt more uneasy staying here alone, so she decided to go and look for it, just in case she found it.
At the same time, Yu Jingchen received news that Nan Zhiyun had just been startled while riding her horse and had run into the hunting grounds. His heart skipped a beat, and he rushed out.
"Where is he?!" Yu Jingchen's eyes were filled with suppressed anger.
"Your subordinates are incompetent. The horses ran into the hunting grounds, and the terrain inside is complicated. The horses were too fast, and your subordinates and others were unable to keep up." These were the guards that Yu Jingchen had arranged to accompany Nan Zhiyun.
"What use are you if you can't even protect one person?!" Yu Jingchen was furious, but now was not the time to vent his anger on these people.
Yu Jingchen headed towards the place where Nan Zhiyun had just ridden her horse. A small group of people who had gone to look for Nan Zhiyun had returned, but they hadn't found her.
Yu Jingchen's eyes were bloodshot, making him look somewhat terrifying.
