"Who are you?" Looking at the man who had inexplicably fallen into her arms, the pale-faced man dressed in white was still able to smile in a friendly manner. Under the gloomy sky, he was like the warm sun in March, which made him look particularly charming.
"I...I...I..." The sundial stammered, unable to utter a single word for a long time.
It was like a romantic drama unfolding here, but the scene over there was much more unpleasant. She supported her twisted back and stood up shakily. As soon as she regained her footing, she was surrounded by a group of soldiers with knives. She felt bitter and angry, and looking at the sundial over there made her feel even more aggrieved.
The view was too intense for the sundial to ignore, and he stammered, "Please, please, please put me down..."
The man in white smiled, dismounted, and then lowered the sundial to the ground.
As soon as they landed, the sundial swiftly broke through the soldiers' encirclement and arrived beside Feng Guang. He whispered, "Where exactly are you planning to come from?"
It hadn't rained in Dongyang for a long time, and the sky here was covered with dark clouds, looking like a heavy rain was about to hit. He had a bad feeling.
Feng Guang pouted, "I just wanted to come..."
She paused. When the sundial told her to think of a place she wanted to go, she had told herself that she wanted the back garden. But it seemed that at the moment the sundial activated its power... she couldn't help but think of... the name Mu Gui.
Looking around, her gaze finally settled on the man in white. She slowly covered her mouth. Could it be…?
She actually found Mu Gui so easily?
"Who exactly are you people?" asked a man with a long sword hanging at his waist. He was tall and straight like a pine tree, with a strong and masculine demeanor, and did not seem easy to get along with.
The sundial grew impatient and whispered again, "Goddess, take my hand and think of the place we want to return to."
“Alright…” Feng Guang grasped the sundial’s hand. Although she had thought about coming to find Mu Gui, she had never thought of harming the sundial. If they knew their identities now, Feng Guang’s life would be safe, but the sundial’s might be in danger.
However, when Feng Guang opened her eyes again, they were still surrounded by so many people. She looked at the sundial and mouthed, "What's going on?"
"I... don't know either." The sundial had never teleported anyone before, let alone two people on its first attempt. In other words, he couldn't guarantee that it would work every time.
Feng Guang sighed, patted his shoulder, and told him with her eyes, "I will protect you."
The sundial was not moved in the slightest! He wanted to go back! Even if it meant going back to rebel with Xinye, he didn't want to stay in the enemy country!
But reality doesn't always change according to human will, as it does now.
The man asked again, "If you won't speak, then I'll treat you as assassins and eliminate you on the spot!"
Seeing that the surrounding soldiers were about to attack, Feng Guang hurriedly said, "Wait!"
"Do you have anything else to say?"
“We’re not assassins! We’re actually…” Feng Guang glanced at his surroundings, then pointed to a village not far away that was submerged by water, with only some rooftops visible, and said, “We escaped from there!”
"Are you from White Fish Village?"
A voice echoed in Feng Guang's mind, "That's Qiushui Village."
"That's not called White Fish Village, it's Autumn Water Village. My brother and I are people who escaped from Autumn Water Village." Feng Guang was moved. The system that never gave him any cheat codes was finally going to give him one!
