At this moment, Xu Yuehuai also realized that the man had already discovered their following, and he had deliberately led them to this mountain in order to get rid of them.
"Let's run!" Xu Yuehua shouted and quickly ran down the mountain.
Xu Yuehuai led Xia Sen and the others as they ran down the mountain with all their might, not wanting to be caught by that man.
After all, they still don't know if the man is Qi Guze. He is wearing a mask, and if they only look alike, it would be bad if they made a mistake.
At this moment, the man also realized Xu Yuehuai and his group's intentions, and then he sped up and rushed down the mountain.
Xu Yuehuai and the others followed the man and ran all the way, and soon they reached the foot of the mountain.
Then Xu Yuehuai and the others saw the man get into a carriage, and the carriage quickly drove away.
"Damn it, he got away! We've been looking for him for so long, why is he hiding from us?" Xia Sen said breathlessly, still exhausted from their frantic run.
"Doesn't he want to be with his sister anymore?"
"Otherwise, why would he keep his distance from us even though we've been looking for him?"
Xu Yuehuai did not speak, but stared thoughtfully at the departing carriage.
She guessed that the man must be Qi Guze, but why was Qi Guze deliberately avoiding them?
Is it because I don't want them to follow me around, and I'm afraid they'll get hurt?
Is it because he feels guilty?
Or perhaps it's for some other reason?
Is it because you have your own reasons?
Xu Yuehuai was very puzzled and had no idea what was going on.
But now, even when I think about it, I can't figure out why.
Instead of letting our imaginations run wild here, we should explore the reasons later.
Then she led Xia Sen and the others back to the inn to rest.
Just then, the little princess walked over; she had overheard Xu Yuehuai and the others' conversation.
"Were you talking about that person? Haven't you found any trace of him yet?" the little princess asked Xu Yuehuai.
Xu Yuehuai sighed and said, "We lost him."
“We followed him all the way up the mountain, but in the end he got into a carriage and left.”
"We don't know what to do now."
The little princess shook her head and said, "Perhaps I can be of help to you."
"Follow me."
Then the little princess led Xu Yuehuai and the others to her room.
"This is a letter from someone; it might help you find that person." The little princess took out a letter and handed it to Xu Yuehuai.
Xu Yuehua frowned as she read the contents of the letter, then said to the little princess, "Little princess, please don't get involved in this matter. We will handle it ourselves."
The little princess shook her head and said, "I believe you, and I believe that person is definitely not a bad person."
"I'm willing to help you find that person."
Xu Yuehuai was deeply moved by the little princess's words, and then hugged her and said, "Thank you, little princess."
Then Xu Yuehuai left the room with the letter.
She carefully studied the contents of the letter, which instructed Xu Yuehuai to search for the person's whereabouts in a dilapidated temple outside the city.
After careful consideration, Xu Yuehuai felt that this clue was quite reliable, so he quickly led Xia Sen and the others to search for traces of the dilapidated temple outside the city.
At this time, Qi Guze also received the news that Xu Yuehuai and the others had gone to the dilapidated temple outside the city to look for his whereabouts.
Qi Guze was determined not to let Xu Yuehuai find him, so he hurried to the dilapidated temple outside the city.
When he arrived at the dilapidated temple, he found that Xu Yuehuai and the others were not there; only an old monk was tending to the temple.
"Are you here to find someone?" the old monk asked Qi Guze.
Qi Guze nodded and asked, "Do you know if anyone has been here recently?"
The old monk shook his head and said, "I haven't seen anyone for several days."
Qi Guze wondered if Xu Yuehuai and the others had already left.
Then he left the dilapidated temple and searched everywhere for Xu Yuehuai and the others.
Meanwhile, Xu Yuehuai and his group were hiding in the bushes, observing the situation at the dilapidated temple.
"Look at that person, isn't he searching for us everywhere?" Xia Sen asked Xu Yuehuai, pointing to the figure outside the dilapidated temple.
Upon closer inspection, Xu Yuehuai indeed discovered that the person was Qi Guze.
She guessed that Qi Guze must have thought she had already left, which was why he was searching for her everywhere.
"Let's continue hiding here. After that person leaves, we'll go back to the ruined temple to look for clues," Xu Yuehuai said to Xia Sen and the others.
They continued to hide in the bushes, and by then it was getting dark. After Qi Guze left, Xu Yuehuai and the others emerged from the bushes and returned to the dilapidated temple.
The dilapidated temple was empty and there was nothing special about it.
Xu Yuehuai was very puzzled. Had she guessed wrong? Was that person not in the dilapidated temple?
Then Xu Yuehuai discovered a small wooden box in the corner of the dilapidated temple. She went over and opened it, but was almost shocked by what she saw.
No one knew whose it was, but there was a blood-stained outfit nearby. The pajamas looked very familiar; it seemed like Ah Dong had worn them before.
But didn't Ah Dong already fall off a cliff and die?
Could it be that Ah Dong didn't die, but came to the Martial World with them?
Looking at this scene now, I feel a bit creeped out.
"Look, what is this?" Xu Yuehuai shouted to Xia Sen and the others.
Xia Sen and the others quickly came over and then discovered a tattered book inside the wooden box. "This is a martial arts manual," Xia Sen muttered, looking at the words on the book.
Xu Yuehuai did not speak, but continued to look at the contents of the book.
She carefully looked through the contents of the book, and the more she looked, the more something seemed off.
The martial arts techniques recorded in this book are not martial arts secrets, but a kind of poison technique.
Xu Yuehuai was very puzzled. What exactly was going on?
She had only seen this kind of poison technique on Ah Dong before. Could Ah Dong be nearby?
She continued flipping through the book, becoming increasingly alarmed with each page.
The poison techniques recorded in this book are extremely cruel, and they are all used in martial arts manuals.
