So she chose to seal her memories within a sphere of light, waiting for the right person to arrive so she could tell them the secret.
After listening to the woman's story, Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze both fell into deep thought.
Xu Yuehuai never imagined that she was the one who had been summoned to this world.
At the same time, she also realized that she had an important mission—to protect the world from disasters.
The woman continued, "You have found one of the clues to this secret. Next, you need to find the remaining clues to find a way back. At the same time, you must be careful of the descendants of those nobles; they may stop at nothing to eliminate you."
Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze both nodded to indicate that they understood. They knew that the road ahead would be even more difficult, but they did not back down.
Just as they were about to leave, the entire cave suddenly began to shake violently. Startled, they quickly grabbed the stone wall beside them.
Then they heard a loud crash—the cave was about to collapse!
Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze didn't have time to think and rushed towards the exit.
However, just as they were about to run out of the cave, a huge rock crashed down from above.
They couldn't dodge in time and could only watch helplessly as the rock hurtled towards them.
At the critical moment, Qi Guze shoved Xu Yuehuai aside, using his own body to shield her from the rock. Xu Yuehuai was pushed out of the cave, while Qi Guze was struck by the rock and fell into a pool of blood.
"Aze!" Xu Yuehuai exclaimed and rushed back to help Qi Guze up.
Seeing his wounds and blood, her heart ached. She knew that if it weren't for Qi Guze's sacrifice, she would have died here long ago.
Qi Guze looked at Xu Yuehuai, who seemed safe and sound, and a smile appeared on his lips: "A-Yue... it's good that you're alright..."
After saying this, he closed his eyes and fainted.
Xu Yuehuai hugged Qi Guze and cried bitterly, "How could you leave me alone! We still have so many things to do!"
Her voice echoed in the cave for a long time...
After sensing that Qi Guze still had a pulse, she knew they had to leave this place now!
She struggled to her feet, picked up Qi Guze, and ran outside. After a difficult struggle, they finally escaped the cave that was about to collapse and arrived at a safe place outside.
Seeing that Qi Guze was unconscious, Xu Yuehuai quickly took out silver needles to treat him. After some effort, Qi Guze finally woke up.
"Ah Yue, thank you for saving me." Qi Guze smiled gently.
"Hmph! We promised to be together forever, not a second less! Don't even think about abandoning me!"
With tears welling up in her eyes, Xu Yuehuai suddenly hugged Qi Guze tightly. This time, she was truly afraid—afraid of his departure, afraid of living alone with this secret.
Qi Guze patted her back, "Okay, we'll stay together forever."
After a while, they found a place to rest.
“I never imagined that it was the nobles of the past who summoned those modern people here,” Xu Yuehuai sighed. “It’s very possible that I was also summoned here by them. It’s just that the time I came here was different from when they summoned me, which is why I came here thousands of years later.”
"If I can find those magic arrays left behind by the nobles, perhaps I can return to my homeland."
Qi Guze stared at Xu Yuehuai, his eyes filled with confusion and worry. "Are you really determined to go back?"
Xu Yuehuai's gaze was firm, as if she saw hope for the future. "If such an opportunity truly comes, I will definitely take you with me. This magic array seems to contain some kind of mysterious power, which may allow both sides to travel freely."
Qi Guze nodded, looking intently into her eyes, "If that's really the case, I will follow you wherever you go."
Xu Yuehua hugged him tightly, as if they could feel each other's heartbeats.
The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they could see endless possibilities for the future.
They talked about their plans for the future, and in this ancient forest, their dreams shone like stars, illuminating their path forward.
The moonlight was as clear as water, and the bottom of the cliff appeared unusually desolate.
Qi Guze looked around at the pitch blackness, his brows furrowed. "We need to get out of here quickly."
Xu Yuehua nodded slightly, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes, "Okay, we need to find a way out as soon as possible."
After a night's rest, the two began their search for a way to leave the next morning.
They carefully traversed the thorny thicket, avoiding treacherous rocks, and finally found a hidden path.
The path winds and twists, with trees on both sides blocking out the sun, like a mysterious passage leading to the unknown.
Just as they were about to leave the dense forest, suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps approached.
Qi Guze and Xu Yuehuai felt a chill and immediately looked alertly in the direction from which the sound came.
A group of figures suddenly emerged from the bushes, holding knives and wearing ferocious smiles.
"Trying to leave? Not so easy!" The leader grinned maliciously and swung his knife at the two men.
Qi Guze and Xu Yuehuai reacted quickly, drawing their longswords and engaging in fierce combat with the group of pursuers.
Swords flashed and blades danced. Qi Guze and Xu Yuehuai moved nimbly and their swordsmanship was superb, forcing their pursuers to retreat steadily.
However, the enemy had a large number of men, and each of them was a desperate criminal, making the battle extremely fierce.
After a fierce battle, the two finally managed to defeat their pursuers one by one, thanks to their exceptional martial arts skills and excellent teamwork. However, they were exhausted and covered in wounds.
The two helped each other out of the dense forest, and suddenly the view opened up before them; they were finally back on the main road.
Then they took their money and exchanged it with someone on the road for a horse. The two of them rode on the same horse and headed towards the capital together.
A few days later, a magnificent mansion came into view; it was the Regent's Palace in the capital that they had been longing for.
"Grandma, Grandpa, you're finally back!" Zhou Wan was so excited to see the two of them return safely that tears welled up in her eyes. "You two are covered in so many injuries, you should go and get them bandaged up right away!"
Xu Yuehuai had no time to worry about that and asked anxiously, "Where are Zixin and the others?"
Zhou Wan's expression darkened, and she stammered, "Zi'ang and Chunsheng are back safely, but Zixin... she..."
Xu Yuehuai's heart tightened, and she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Zixin?"
Zhou Wan lowered her head and remained silent. Xu Yuehuai suddenly felt dizzy and her legs went weak.
Qi Guze reacted quickly, catching her and comforting her, "Don't worry, we'll find her eventually."
At this moment, Qi Ziang and Tie Chunsheng heard the commotion and ran over.
As soon as the two saw their parents return, they immediately knelt down on the ground with a thud.
Qi Zi'ang said guiltily, "Father and Mother, it's all my fault. I didn't take good care of my sister, and she was kidnapped."
Tie Chunsheng followed closely behind, blaming himself, "It's my fault for not taking good care of Aunt Zixin. Grandpa and Grandma, please punish me!"
