Xie Beiming used telepathy. The moment his clear and clean voice rang in his mind, it was like a feather brushing against his cheek, bringing an indescribable tingling sensation.
Shen Qiqi's legs almost went weak, and the balance in her heart instantly tilted towards Xie Beiming.
She immediately withdrew her sympathy for Jiang Xiyan, transferred all her heartache to Xie Beiming, and assured him:
"You, don't think too much. Jiang Xiyan and I didn't have anything in the past, and we don't have anything now, and there won't be anything in the future... After I get out of here, I will help him refine some body-hardening pills to repay him for what he did for me today."
Jiang Xiyan had been injured by an evil poison before, and he really needed some high-quality elixirs to rebuild his muscles and bones.
The jade slip that the second master passed down to her contained the method on how to refine the body-tempering pill. When the time comes, she will refine some and give them to Jiang Xiyan.
Since neither of them owed the other anything, Xie Beiming wouldn't think too much about it.
Sure enough, as soon as Shen Qiqi finished speaking, Xie Beiming's eyes overflowed with smiles. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, and he said: "Qiqi, thank you."
Shen Qiqi: “…”
I should be the one saying thank you.
Thank you for risking your life for me in your last life.
Thank you for never leaving me in this life.
However, Shen Qiqi couldn't say this, so she raised the corners of her lips and gave Xie Beiming a sweet smile.
The two communicated through voice transmission, so others could not hear. They could only see the two of them staring at each other and smiling. The aura between them was as tight as a solid wall, and no one could get in.
The young boy and girl, one delicate and elegant, the other naive and sweet, looked at each other and smiled. The scene was so beautiful that people couldn't bear to disturb them. Even the sound of the wind stopped quietly.
Now it was Jiang Xiyan who felt jealous.
Unfortunately, he did not have Young Master Xie's skills, nor did he have the opportunity that belonged to Young Master Xie alone. After silently sulking for a while, he continued to rummage through his storage bag with his head down.
Young Sect Leader Jiang, who had been living a life of luxury and pampering since childhood, was very considerate. He prepared things like towels, gloves and boots for everyone.
It’s just that what others got was not as exquisite as the one he gave to Shen Qiqi.
Just as Jiang Xiyan said, the ground in the jungle was extremely muddy, with dead leaves, bones, and flesh tangled together. Without sunlight for years, they had all rotted into mud. When you stepped on it, it was all sticky mud, which not only made a hissing sound, but also an indescribable stench that came out from under the soles of your feet and went straight to the top of your head.
Even with a cloth covering her mouth and nose, Shen Qiqi still felt so nauseous when she smelled the smell that her stomach churned.
As for the trees in the jungle, they all look wet. You don't even need to touch them to know that they must feel sticky and slippery.
Some trees were covered with a layer of strange mucus. Shen Qiqi carefully avoided them, trying her best not to let her clothes get stained with the disgusting mucus.
Qingluo and Yinqiao were even more considerate and stood on both sides of her, helping her clear away branches and weeds that blocked the way as they walked.
Fortunately, this road has an end.
After the group of five walked inside for about an incense stick's time, the originally dark vision suddenly brightened up.
Shen Qiqi looked up and saw a few golden spots of light coming from the endless branches and scattering on the moldy dead leaves at her feet.
Although this place is also very humid, the treetops are not that dense, so at least a little sunlight can come in.
Shen Qiqi looked around again, then looked at Jiang Xiyan and confirmed: "Is this where my father had the accident?"
Jiang Xiyan nodded: "Yes, it's here. I was chasing an evil spirit that day, and it ran into this jungle, so I followed it in. When I got here, I saw Sect Master Shen lying there covered in blood."
As he spoke, he walked towards the direction of his finger, then used his foot to mark an area on the ground for Shen Qiqi to see.
Perhaps because there is sunlight here, although there are many dead leaves on the ground, they have not rotted into mud. They are relatively dry and do not have that pungent stench.
Shen Qiqi felt a little better.
The mud made from dead leaves and corpses in the jungle left a huge psychological shadow on her. If her father were to lie in such foul-smelling mud, even if she didn't see it with her own eyes, just thinking about it would make her feel very uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the place where my father was unconscious was not that bad.
But as Jiang Xiyan said, in a place surrounded by dark forests, it is impossible for anyone to pass by here under normal circumstances. It is basically impossible to find a witness who was present at the time of the incident.
Moreover, several days have passed since the incident, and it even rained heavily during that time. Not to mention that there are no traces left, even if there were any traces left, they would have been washed away by the heavy rain.
Jiang Xiyan blamed himself: "It's all my fault. I was only thinking about saving people at the time and didn't bother to survey the surroundings..."
"This has nothing to do with you. I am already very grateful to you for helping me send my father to the Wuji Sect."
Shen Qiqi interrupted Jiang Xiyan's self-blame, then narrowed her clear and lively phoenix eyes slightly and looked around.
"It doesn't matter if we can't find a witness who was there when the incident happened. What matters is that we can find a ghost who was there when the incident happened."
This is also the reason why she insisted on going to the scene of the incident in person.
The dark energy in this jungle was swirling, almost turning the sky black.
