If you divide two days' worth of water into three days' worth, you can still get through it.
The sandstorm was so strong that visibility was poor even from a distance. Lu Zheng, Xue Qianyu, and Peng Ze had already arrived at Gu Xin, Gu Nian, and Gu Hui's side, fearing something might happen to them, even though these three were much stronger than the other girls.
Peng Erlang instinctively went to find Xie Zhiyi. Gu Yingxue and Gu Si ran to Cai Xiaolian's side. With Gu Shouxin there, it was much safer.
"Huh? Where's Hanhan?" Gu Si was safe when she realized Huo Yanyu wasn't there.
"We were just together, could we have gotten lost? Oh no, the sandstorm is so strong, and Hanhan is so thin, what if he gets blown away?" Gu Yingxue panicked.
"Don't worry, don't worry, there are so many people in the group, and we're in the middle. If we get lost, we'll either fall behind or move ahead. Nothing will happen," Cai Xiaolian comforted the two girls.
Huo Yanyu did fall behind. On the way to find Cai Xiaolian with Gu Si and Gu Yingxue, she got sand in her eyes while riding a camel and then fell behind.
After she rubbed the sand out of her eyes, both of her sisters had disappeared, and she couldn't see any direction anymore.
"How stupid! Everyone else managed to get to Second Aunt's place safely, but you got lost!" A familiar voice rang out, and before Huo Yanyu could even feel happy, she was hit with these words.
"None of your business!" Huo Yanyu drove away on her camel.
“How can it not concern me? If you get blown away by the sandstorm, who will scold me then?” Peng Silang rode his camel and chased after him.
"There are plenty of girls who will scold you. In the past, in the Southern Frontier, and now in Linzhou Prefecture, there are plenty of fierce girls. You can be scolded by whomever you want!" Huo Yanyu said angrily. "What? You have to be scolded by me?"
"That's right! I need you to scold me. If you don't scold me for a day, I feel like something's not right!" Although Peng Silang found it a bit puzzling that Huo Yanyu talked about the girls from Linzhou, he went along with her words and said it with genuine feeling.
"Then I won't talk to you anymore, I'll make you suffer!" Although Huo Yanyu felt that the conversation was strange, she was still strangely happy, which was really odd.
"No way, silly girl! Go ahead and scold me! I'm telling you, I'm offering myself up for you to scold now. You won't be able to out-scold those stinky scholars in the future," Peng Silang continued shamelessly.
"Nonsense! Who would want to insult a scholar for no reason? My whole family are scholars, okay? Scholars are much more reasonable than you, a mere brute!" Huo Yanyu blurted out.
Peng Silang felt a pang of sadness. Sure enough, his simple-minded sister still preferred scholars. There was nothing he could do; she had grown up in that kind of environment since childhood.
But he didn't want her to marry a scholar! No, not just a scholar, he didn't want her to get married at all.
“Hanmei, you and the scholar are really not a good match. Ask yourself honestly, do you really like the scholar? Your whole family are scholars. How boring would it be if you stayed with him? You should find someone different, someone who can bring excitement to your mundane life.” Peng Silang decided that he needed to convince Hanmei that she didn’t like the scholar in her heart. That way, when they returned to Kuncheng, she wouldn’t fall for the scholar her parents had chosen.
"Peng Silang, are you out of your mind! What kind of person I like, what kind of person I'm compatible with, is none of your business! Why are you being so nosy? You don't even like me, so why are you making such a fuss?" Huo Yanyu was inexplicably annoyed and said angrily.
