At this moment.
A commotion came from the side, and the two looked over warily, but their expressions quickly relaxed, though a strange light immediately appeared in their eyes.
Qin Suwan, her clothes fluttering, walked slowly, her tall and slender figure moving gracefully. She wiped her long, jet-black hair, still glistening with water droplets, her face devoid of makeup, a few water droplets still sliding down her cheeks, yet her beauty was breathtaking. In the darkness, her bright eyes shone like stars, irresistibly drawing all who beheld them.
Chang Feng seemed stunned, feeling utterly amazed by the extraordinary talent.
Even Lin Xiuyuan was no exception, a hint of amazement appearing in his eyes.
After the three of them finished their "barbecue" meal, they went to rest.
Only Lin Xiuyuan sat cross-legged by the extinguished campfire, practicing his cultivation while keeping watch.
Along the way, he didn't miss any opportunity to cultivate, spending most of his time fleeing and traveling, leaving very little time for cultivation. His talent was simply insufficient, and his cultivation had slowed down considerably. If he wanted to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage before the sixtieth level, he would naturally have to work diligently and assiduously.
As a talisman master, he spent most of his time at the back of the group, manipulating talismans, which saved him some energy, unlike the two of them who were exhausted.
It was late at night when footsteps sounded nearby.
Lin Xiuyuan opened his eyes and saw Qin Suwan walking over gently and sitting down next to him.
"What's wrong?" Lin Xiuyuan asked softly.
A hint of hesitation flashed across Qin Suwan's beautiful face. After a moment of silence, she said in a low voice, apologizing and expressing her gratitude, "I haven't had a chance to apologize to you yet for what happened in Beihe Market. I'm so sorry, Master Lin. I was too naive back then. I didn't mean to do that..."
"And we must thank you for everything along the way. If it weren't for your support and help, we probably wouldn't have been able to make it this far."
After more than half a year, Qin Suwan gradually emerged from the grief of Qin Lao's death and couldn't help but think of this matter. She took this opportunity to come and resolve some of her lingering concerns.
It was mainly because of the sense of security Lin Xiuyuan provided them along the way, and how he resolved countless crises.
Without Lin Xiuyuan, she would probably have already lost her life. She took this opportunity to rest and express her gratitude.
"Don't talk like that, we were just supporting each other." Lin Xiuyuan smiled and waved his hand, saying, "What's past is past. I've come this far and I've long since let go of any grudges. There's no need to worry about it. Let those things go."
Although he repeatedly intervened to avert danger along the way, without the combined strength of the two others, he wouldn't have had the chance to do so even if he wanted to; at most, he would have just earned more credit. This escape team has come a long way thanks to the contributions of everyone involved.
During this time, Qin Suwan also helped him out of trouble several times. With such kindness and Qin Lao's last words, how could Lin Xiuyuan still hold a grudge about what happened back then?
As he said, let bygones be bygones...
Upon hearing this, Qin Suwan couldn't help but smile happily. She sat quietly next to Lin Xiuyuan, feeling inexplicably at peace in the tranquil yet unsettling night.
Qin Suwan looked up and saw that the stars were twinkling in the sky as the treetops swayed.
The next day at dawn.
After a brief rest, the three set off again, cautiously and warily traversing the southern borderlands, heading inland...
