father?
Baili Feiyue glanced at the mountain behind which now looked like a dark mass.
"Are you sure?"
Ling Duannian nodded affirmatively.
"He's alone?"
"Well, I'm a little worried. So..."
Dad was heading to the back mountain alone at this time, he definitely didn't want to alert other people and the guards who were accompanying him. No wonder he wanted to follow alone.
Baili Feiyue thought for a moment and said, "Let's go together."
He took out something tightly wrapped in black cloth and opened it. The green light of the night pearl instantly illuminated the road under his feet clearly.
Holding the night-shining pearl in one hand, he stretched out his other hand to the side, "Hold my hand and follow my steps."
The young man immediately grasped her hand with his soft and boneless hand, completely wrapping her hand with his whole hand.
Baili Feiyue was speechless. She asked him to hold her hand, but, "Do you have to be so clingy?"
The young man said softly, "It's cold in the mountains, sister, my hands are warmer than yours."
Well, her constitution was not the warm type to begin with. After the crime she had committed over five years, she was indeed rather cold at night. Not to mention, holding her ninth brother's hand like this was really warm.
"I'm just curious. How are you going to get along with others if you don't even bring a light?"
The young man smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you, sister, that at night, my eyes can see more clearly than during the day."
As soon as he finished speaking, Baili Feiyue quickly put away the night pearl in his hand and wrapped it with black cloth so that no light could penetrate.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
In a place like this, if you carry a glowing object with you and there is any danger, you will become a sitting duck!
When the light was gone, her eyes had not yet adjusted to the darkness and she could not see her hand in front of her.
He looked at Ling Duannian who was holding his hand beside him and asked, "Where did Dad go?"
"Sister," the young man sighed helplessly in the darkness, "I don't have clairvoyance. I can't see through any gaps in this tree. I was afraid that Dad would find out, so I came out and followed him after he went in. How could I possibly see it..."
Baili Feiyue snorted, "What use do I have for you?"
The young man's beautiful lips curled up slightly in the darkness, "Well... I can hold Sister's hand in the dark and take Sister with me."
have to!
This ninth brother is simply not to be messed with.
She, who could see roughly even in a normally dark place, was completely in the dark here. But he was leading her and walking in front of her, with the same pace as in daytime.
The two of them walked deep into the back mountain, and down below in the Wufang Temple, in the wing used to house the female members of the Ling family, Ling Xinqin returned to her room and locked the door tremblingly.
Checked again to make sure the window was locked.
The whole person was holding his breath and still couldn't let go.
She had just gone to find Ling Ruolan and was originally planning to try to find out something from her, but after she called out twice no one answered.
She tried pushing it, and after entering, with the faint moonlight, she could see clearly in the small room that there was no one lying on the bed sleeping!
It was the dead of night, in this place where there was no village or shop nearby. Where had she gone?
At this moment, Baili Feiyue and Ling Duannian had already walked quite close to the inside.
"Do you think we're going in circles?"
Because Baili Feiyue can't see, her senses are actually more acute.
"It seems so."
As soon as Ling Duannian finished speaking, Baili Feiyue heard the sound of a sword being drawn. At the same time, the person was held in Ling Duannian's arms.
This action is really touching, but maybe he got it wrong!
Just as she was about to lower her voice and speak, Ling Duannian gently pinched her hand.
Baili Feiyue shut up immediately.
It was pitch black all around, and it was obvious that the other party also knew that lighting would expose himself.
Not everyone is like her unexpected ninth brother who can see the darkness as flat ground.
She remained motionless and concentrated for a while, until the sounds in the distance that were so slight that they were almost negligible disappeared. Then Baili Feiyue tried to walk as lightly as possible and followed Ling Duannian.
After walking for about an incense stick of time, Ling Duannian finally stopped.
He whispered two words, "Killer."
Baili Feiyue smiled, "There's no one else in this temple. I don't believe you if you say you're not here for the people from our Ling Mansion."
Moreover, most likely they had been ambushed before they went up the mountain.
Ling Duannian obviously thought of it, "Dad didn't tell me in advance that I was coming here to burn incense."
"That is, apart from our own family members, no one else can make arrangements first."
No, it can be clearly pinned to her second sister, a remarkable woman.
She was the only one who had been to Wufang Temple. Perhaps she also knew why her father would come to the back mountain in the middle of the night. Once her father came, even if Ling Duannian didn't notice, she would most likely let others find him.
This other person must be just right, and the ultimate goal is most likely to let Baili Feiyue discover it.
I also know that she is worried about her father deep down, so she will definitely come to see him.
So these killers were not coming for Ling Sheng, their father, but were obviously prepared for her.
Why is her second sister so annoying?
"Don't worry about me, Dad. Let's find a way out."
However, it was like a maze, and Ling Duannian couldn't find a way out for a while. Baili Feiyue used the night pearl to emit a little weak light just under her feet to help her find it, but she still couldn't find it.
Because she then saw that the trees on the back mountain were almost exactly the same!
The thick fog made it so that all one could see were objects within two or three feet of one's surroundings.
No wonder the killers couldn't find them in the absence of any light after they held their breath and stood still.
While guarding against encountering assassins, the two men walked in the direction they believed to be down the mountain.
But although this is the back mountain, the terrain is not steep and there is no tendency to go downhill at all.
This is a fucking dense forest!
Natural dense forest!
There's no way to crack it.
After almost stepping on a poisonous snake that was the same color as the dead leaves, Baili Feiyue frowned slightly, "We can't walk around randomly, let's find a relatively hidden and safe place and wait until dawn before going out."
But there was no such place in the entire forest, so Baili Feiyue took out a dagger and cut out a place, then surrounded the outer perimeter with the cut branches and vines, and sprinkled poison powder on it to repel snakes and insects. The two of them stayed in this circle.
You definitely can’t make a fire.
Baili Feiyue spread the clothes she had casually put on before coming out on the ground, sat down first, and then glanced at Ling Duannian, "Just sit on my lap."
This thin summer outer layer cannot keep out the coolness and moisture on the ground in the woods at night.
As for the health of my ninth brother, I would rather be safe than sorry.
Under the faint fluorescence of the night pearl, the young man's clear and peerless face froze for a moment because of her words.
Then he smiled with his eyes curved, "Sister, I'm worried that your legs will be numb."
"Nonsense. Come on, sleep next to me first, and I'll keep watch. It'll be your turn in two hours."
"Sister, did I really sit on your lap?"
"You can also sit on the ground."
"Then I'd better sit on Sister's lap."
He really sat on her lap and gently leaned his head on her shoulder, "Sister, I'm going to sleep."
The moment he sat down, Baili Feiyue wanted to say, "You should sit on the ground." He doesn't look fat, but he's so heavy!
Two hours later, Ling Duannian woke up on time.
Baili Feiyue's legs were numb and she had no feeling at all. "You continue. I won't sleep."
"I'm not going to sleep either."
"Have you ever slept with someone?" Baili Feiyue pointed it out to him directly.
The boy curled his eyes and asked, "Sister, did you find out that I was pretending to sleep?"
Baili Feiyue rolled her eyes at him.
The boy took the initiative to move away from her legs, half-knelt in front of her, and earnestly massaged her legs and shoulders that he had pressed for two hours.
Hearing Baili Feiyue's uncontrollable inhalation, he said in a low voice with guilt, "Sister, are you feeling better?"
"What do you think? This blood vessel has been blocked for a long time. If it becomes lame, you will be responsible."
"I'm responsible."
The young man looked up without stopping his movements.
Her beautiful eyes were filled with the wet color of the forest, and she tilted her head and smiled, "Sis is lame, I will cut off my leg and give it to you."
Baili Feiyue: “…”
Fortunately, she is just his sister. If he falls in love with someone in the future, she would really be worried about that person.
The way this ninth brother treats people nicely is sometimes really creepy.
It is said that there is no sleep at dawn, when all things are most sleepy.
Baili Feiyue felt like she was just a blink of an eye in confusion, and suddenly jumped up, protecting Ling Duannian, who was also awakened, behind her, and looked coldly towards somewhere in the darkness.
"Hehehe..." A series of charming voices that made one's scalp tingle rang out.
"Ling Jing, we meet again."
