Ning Que and Mu Yanran walked for a long time before finally walking out of the tunnel. The exit was on the other side of the lake. They hurried to the location of the accident, but found that there was no trace of anyone there. Ning Que frowned, and a trace of worry surged in his heart. He turned to look at Mu Yanran and asked, "It seems that they should have returned to the entrance in advance. Miss Mu, do you know the closing time of the exit?"
Mu Yanran nodded and answered firmly, "I heard from Her Highness the Saint that the cave entrance will be closed again before sunset, so everyone must meet at the exit in advance!" Ning Que's heart tightened when he heard this. If he couldn't get to the exit in time, the consequences would be disastrous. He immediately urged Mu Yanran to speed up and rush towards the exit.
Next to the exit, Qing Ge was methodically arranging everyone to check the number of people. After a commotion, the crowd finally quieted down. This time the monster was extremely ferocious, and many people were injured, but fortunately no one died. Qing Ge secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She told everyone to rest here for a while, and she stood at the exit, anxiously waiting for Mu Yanran and Ning Que to return.
The sun gradually set, and the afterglow cast long shadows on the ground. Qing Ge was anxious, she didn't know if Ning Que and Mu Yanran could get back before the sunset. She prayed silently, hoping that they were safe. As time passed, Qing Ge became more and more nervous. She kept looking around, expecting the two familiar figures to appear.
After waiting for a long time, a disciple came forward and said to Qing Ge: "Your Highness, the time is almost up. The cave entrance is about to open."
"Wait a little longer! Some people haven't come back yet!" Qing Ge answered anxiously, clenching his fists, his face full of anxiety and uneasiness.
Another quarter of an hour passed, and still no one came back. Qing Ge closed his eyes tightly, thinking to himself, "I can't wait any longer! I have to think about everyone in the clan!"
She turned around and shouted to the crowd: "Everyone, let's go!"
After that, she took out the talisman given by Leng Qingqiu, walked to the exit, and silently chanted a spell. Suddenly, a light appeared on the talisman, and a hole began to slowly expand from all sides. Qing Ge looked at the gradually expanding hole and ordered: "Everyone, leave the inheritance place first!" After that, she asked everyone to leave first, and she stayed at the end.
Ning Que watched the time pass by, muttering to himself: "Time is running out!" He frowned anxiously, turned to look at Mu Yanran beside him, and said anxiously: "Miss Mu, time is running out, we have to hurry!" Before he finished speaking, he stretched out his arms without hesitation and hugged Mu Yanran tightly. Then, he flashed and flew lightly into the air like a nimble bird.
Mu Yanran was stunned by Ning Que's sudden action, but she did not resist or refuse. On the contrary, a sense of inexplicable excitement and anticipation surged in her heart. In Ning Que's warm and solid embrace, she felt an unprecedented sense of security and dependence.
At the same time, almost all the people on Qingge's side had left, leaving only a few people.
"Your Highness the Saint, it's time for us to set off! If we don't leave now it will be too late!" someone urged anxiously.
Qing Ge listened to the urging voice in her ear and couldn't help but sigh deeply. She shook her head helplessly and turned to walk towards the cave entrance. Every step seemed heavy and tired, as if she was carrying endless pressure and responsibility.
After passing through a narrow and dark tunnel, Qing Ge finally walked out of the cave. She looked up at the sky and saw the blood-red sunset gradually sinking to the west. The afterglow sprinkled on the earth, dyeing the whole world with a layer of golden light. At this moment, Su Yue walked quickly to Qing Ge and asked with concern: "Qing Ge, you are back? Is everything okay?"
Qing Ge lowered her head with some guilt, not daring to look her in the eye. She felt that she had not taken good care of Mu Yanran, and her heart was filled with self-blame. However, at this moment, Su Yue suddenly changed the subject:
"Qingge, Ning'er is missing..."
This sentence hit Qing Ge like a bolt from the blue, and she was extremely shocked. She widened her eyes and looked at Su Yue in disbelief, as if the whole world collapsed at this moment.
Just as the entrance to the inheritance land was about to disappear, a figure suddenly emerged from it. Everyone turned their heads and focused their eyes on that figure. They were surprised to find that the figure was Mu Yanran.
"Your Highness the Saint! Yanran is back!" A disciple recognized Mu Yanran and shouted excitedly to Qingge.
Qing Ge and Su Yue looked towards the entrance at the same time, only to see Mu Yanran standing there intact. Qing Ge was overjoyed, and immediately rushed forward, tightly grasped Mu Yanran's hand, and asked anxiously: "Yanran! You're back! Where's Master Ning?"
Mu Yanran smiled slightly and said to Qingge, "Well, Your Highness the Saint! I'm fine, thanks to Master Ning who saved my life. He sent me out and then left, saying that I didn't need to worry about him. Besides, I have successfully completed the trial and obtained the inheritance!"
Su Yue was overjoyed to hear that her apprentice had successfully inherited the teachings, and a pleased smile appeared on her face. The master and the apprentice looked at each other, their eyes sparkling with joy.
Ning Que, after leaving the inheritance land, quickly used his fastest speed to flee from here without stopping. After a while, he came to a small forest and changed into women's clothes. At this moment, he felt a strong vibration, and when he looked down, it turned out that the communication disc was vibrating. He hurriedly opened the communication disc to check, but was surprised to find dozens of message reminders, all of which came from Leng Qingqiu! Xiao Ning's heart tightened, and he quickly put away the communication disc and turned to run towards the inheritance land.
