The swarms of bees landed on Su Miaoyan's hand, but they did not show any signs of agitation.
Instead, it seems like...
They are showing affection.
Su Miaoyan thought she was going to be stung, so she gave up resisting and closed her eyes. But to her surprise, she only felt a slight itch on her arm.
She tried to open her eyes and saw...
The swarm of bees crawled all over her arm, then watched as she opened her eyes, and then they fluttered around in front of her.
It's as if it's guiding something.
Su Miaoyan was bewildered.
Gu Shanqing, who was standing next to her, was still waving her arms. A bee kissed Su Miaoyan's forehead, signaling her to make the person next to her stop.
Su Miaoyan smiled and said, "Gu Shanqing, it's alright, there's no danger anymore, open your eyes now."
"ah?"
Gu Shanqing was still very scared. She grabbed Su Miaoyan's sleeve. The usually proud and aloof young lady had turned into a little girl crying and leaning on Su Miaoyan.
"Su, Su Miaoyan, you're not kidding me, are you? All those bees are gone?"
"Um."
"Okay, then I'll open my eyes."
Su Miaoyan patted her shoulder.
Gu Shanqing opened her eyes and was startled when she saw the bees in front of her.
Just as she was about to say something, she realized that the bees didn't intend to sting them; on the contrary, they were very affectionate towards Su Miaoyan.
"No, really? Bees don't sting?"
Su Miaoyan gave a soft "hmm".
Gu Shanqing and a swarm of bees stared at each other, and when they both opened their eyes, the bees formed an arrow and pointed forward.
Gu Shanqing hesitated and said, "These days... even bees have become spirits. Is this telling us to go forward?"
Su Miaoyan also realized what was happening and immediately had a guess.
The flowers grown with the water of the sacred spring were given nectar by wild bees, which led to the bees gaining intelligence.
She feigned surprise and said, "Probably. Never mind, let's follow them and see."
"good!"
Gu Shanqing held Su Miaoyan's arm, and the two followed behind the swarm of bees.
The swarm of bees buzzed and meandered, eventually leading the two people into another dead end.
Su Miaoyan: ...
Gu Shanqing: ...
Just as Gu Shanqing was about to speak, the swarm of bees blocked their path and gestured for them to be quiet.
He then gestured for the two to hide behind a nearby pile of firewood.
Su Miaoyan did as she was told, and Gu Shanqing followed obediently behind, while the swarm of bees also shrank back to the side.
Just then, a commotion, growing louder as it approached, reached her ears.
This is……
Su Miaoyan glanced at Gu Shanqing and, seeing no unusual expression on her face, knew that only Gu Shanqing had heard the voice.
After drinking the spiritual spring water, her five senses, which were always more acute than others', seemed to indicate that the voice was still some distance away from them.
A few minutes later, just as Gu Shanqing was about to speak up, two figures in military uniforms appeared not far away.
This is……
Su Miaoyan and Gu Shanqing looked at the two men curiously, only to see the man who had just been looking down suddenly glance in their direction.
The two were so frightened that they quickly shrank back.
Shen Mingzhi frowned slightly as he looked around at the empty surroundings.
Why did he feel like there was someone nearby just now?
Shi Heyu noticed his unusual behavior, pulled down his hat, and whispered, "What's wrong?"
Shen Mingzhi said in a low voice, "I have a feeling that this place is not safe. It seems like there are people nearby."
Don't overthink it.
Shi Heyu whispered, "This is the location I've been observing for several days. As far as I know, no one lives in the nearby courtyards. They've been abandoned for a long time, and generally no one comes here easily."
"Are you so sure you haven't been exposed?"
Upon hearing this, Su Miaoyan's expression turned cold.
Something's off about these two!
Shi Heyu sneered, "If we were exposed, someone would definitely be following us, but have you noticed anything amiss on our journey?"
Both of them had top-notch counter-surveillance capabilities. After thinking about it for a moment, Shen Mingzhi realized that no one had followed them along the way.
He nodded. "No, but being away for too long could easily arouse suspicion. What is it? Tell me quickly."
Shi and Yu glanced around. This matter was of great importance, so to avoid any accidents, the two of them took a few steps back.
Shen Mingzhi frowned and said, "You just said there would be no one here, but now you're on guard."
"The situation is quite urgent, so it's necessary to be on the safe side just in case."
Shen Mingzhi remained silent.
Shi and Yu stopped hiding their intentions and directly stated their purpose for the day.
Su Miaoyan peeked out and saw the two whispering to each other, and a sense of foreboding welled up in her heart.
These two people are definitely not right!
She pressed her ear close to the two of them, trying to eavesdrop on their conversation, but to no avail.
The few steps the two of them took back were just enough to put them out of her range of eavesdropping!
She was debating whether to move to a different location when the bees formed a large "X" in front of her, as if telling her not to make any rash moves.
Su Miaoyan had no choice but to give up.
She could only watch helplessly as the two secretly conversed, and then parted ways after their conversation ended.
The moment the person left, Su Miaoyan wanted to follow, but was stopped by the bees.
She had barely pulled her feet back behind the woodpile when the two men reappeared in the same spot.
This time, she could hear.
"Now we can be sure, no one should be following us. Remember your mission, your superiors are looking forward to your success!"
