The night is deepest and the cold has seeped into every inch of the ground.
Boss Wu rubbed his hands and looked at the back of a person carrying a person walking forward not far away. He drove away only after the figure disappeared.
Perhaps he should persuade the young man again.
But when the other party left just now, he only took a glance and vaguely understood that he was a person who could not be persuaded to come back.
Well, everyone has their own path to take, and sometimes there is really no need to force it.
The sound of horse hooves faded, and the wind and snow instantly obscured the delicate wheel tracks. Only a solitary figure remained amidst the white snow on the Black Mountain, heading deeper into the snowy mountains.
His back was not strong enough, and he had never carried anyone on his back since he was born.
His legs were not strong enough, the mountain he crossed was not very high, and the road he walked was not very long.
But he firmly believed that he could go on.
Just keep moving forward without stopping, even if he is about to walk into endless cold darkness, as long as her arms are around his neck and her heartbeat can be transmitted through his back, he can keep going forward with such determination until he sees the end of everything.
A girl in a red jacket and red cape squatted on the cliff and observed the figure.
He was obviously not a martial artist, and his body was not as strong as those hunters. Although the plain clothes he wore were made of fine materials, they could not keep out the wind and cold. It was obvious that he had never experienced the extreme cold in the north.
He walked very slowly, taking a long breath after each step. The snow was almost up to his knees, and his steps were difficult and his body was wobbly, but he would rather fall down and get up than let the person on his back get wet with snow.
He draped his heavy fox fur coat and cloak over her, leaving himself in a single layer of clothing. The moisture from his breath condensed on his brows, layer upon layer, threatening to crush him, but he remained expressionless, calm yet unwaveringly determined.
Before meeting him, she had never thought that he would be such a person.
If she just drove him down the mountain, would he freeze to death on the way? It would be best if he knew the difficulty and turned back, so she wouldn't have to be the bad guy.
The girl held her chin and thought, but her plan was ultimately in vain.
The figure never stopped and moved little by little to the bottom of the cliff.
The man wasn't a martial artist, but he possessed a certain frightening intuition. He gently lowered his hood, neither looking up at the cliff nor around.
"Where are the descendants of the Qu family?"
The girl frowned, cleared her throat, and spoke in a crisp voice.
"The descendants of the Qiu family are not welcome on the Gelete Plateau."
The man finally raised his head. His face was handsome, but his black hair was disheveled and his expression was grim, like a ghost.
"I have traveled eight thousand miles across mountains and rivers, and I do not care about the word welcome. Where is the master of the family? Come out and see me!"
The man's roar echoed in the mountains, carrying an inherent sense of oppression.
But the girl on the cliff was not afraid at all. She put her hands on her hips, raised her eyebrows sharply, and looked very arrogant.
"What an arrogant and reckless fellow! How dare he run wild in Xuancheng? I heard that King Tiancheng was a man of spiritual cultivation and worship of Buddha, but today I see that he is clearly a madman."
As the saying goes, ignorance is bliss.
But the person before him clearly knew a lot. Knowing his identity, yet still being so aggressive, he was truly fearless.
He restrained his expression, but his voice still carried an unquestionable authority.
"Since you've refused me entry on the grounds of blood ties, you should know that some things can't be easily severed. Leaving the Qu family and Buxu Valley, have you forgotten where you came from and whose kingdom you're standing on?"
The girl laughed, and after laughing, her expression became even more unruly and untamable than before.
"This Baitou Peak is not under Tiancheng's jurisdiction. Even if you are the king of a country, you have no right to order me around, let alone speak to me like this!"
After saying that, she flipped over and jumped off the cliff.
She wanted to kick him out immediately, but when she caught a glimpse of the pale-faced woman in the man's arms, she couldn't help but say something more.
"Come, get her a new hand warmer and take it down the mountain. Don't bother me anymore."
Several men covered in bear skins came out from hiding and were about to move forward when a clear and long crashing sound echoed in the snowy night.
The girl paused, then turned her head and saw the man slowly kneeling in the snow and bowing solemnly.
"Please help her, girl."
The girl's eyes then fell on the copper bowl in the other person's hand, and her raised eyebrows frowned.
"Who is Master Wushan to you?"
"My master."
The girl was stunned at first, and then a look of doubt and disbelief appeared on her face.
"Yikong is a monk, who are you? How dare you lie to me and deceive me to my face?!"
The man in the snow said calmly without changing his expression.
"Master Yikong is my senior brother."
"I've never heard that Wushan has ever accepted a second disciple."
"At your age, there must be many things you haven't heard of."
"you......!"
The girl, clearly angry, stood up with a swift movement, turned around, and in just seven or eight steps, disappeared beside the cliff, leaving only a line of crooked footprints in the snow. The men in bear and fox coats vanished in an instant, leaving nothing but the whistling north wind, which intensified.
The man in black didn't get up and leave. He held the woman in front of him tightly in his arms, trying to pass on the little warmth he had left to her. But no matter how hard he tried, the body gradually grew colder.
