They chased after Xu Yuehuai and his group all the way to the Great Zhou Kingdom, but still couldn't find them.
Meanwhile, Zhou Wan and her companions were in another pair of carriages, having already arrived in the Great Zhou Kingdom and returned to Tianxiang Tower.
They originally thought that Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze would return soon, but they waited for many days and still didn't see them come back.
"Is something wrong with Mother?" Zhou Wan asked Pei Xuan with great concern.
Pei Xuan and the others were protecting Qi Guze at the time, but suddenly halfway there, Qi Guze wanted to travel with Xu Yuehuai, so they brought Zhou Wan and the others back ahead of time.
Now, Qi Guze and Xu Yuehuai have disappeared without a trace.
"The prince and the others will definitely be safe. I'll send someone to find them right away!"
Pei Xuan immediately arranged for people to go find Qi Guze and the others.
But at that moment, Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze were at the bottom of a cliff.
They were traveling together when they suddenly encountered robbers on the way.
They didn't know if the robbers were initially targeting them, but those menacing-looking people blocked their path and tried to rob them.
Qi Guze immediately fought against the robbers, but among them was one person with exceptional martial arts skills. That person directly confronted Qi Guze, and if Qi Guze hadn't had internal injuries, he would definitely have been able to defeat that person.
But that person has now suppressed Qi Guze and is chasing them all the way, wanting to wipe them out.
The other robbers nearby were momentarily shocked.
He never expected that there was such a highly skilled martial artist hiding by his side, who also wanted to take the lives of Qi Guze and the others.
Originally, they became robbers only to steal money, not to take people's lives.
But that highly skilled robber was different; he clearly wanted to kill Xu Yuehuai and the others!
The robbers around them realized what was happening. It seemed that the man had deliberately joined them and was waiting on the road, perhaps hoping to catch Xu Yuehuai and his group so they could attack them.
But now these robbers are on the same side as that person, and that person's martial arts skills are so high that they are no match for him and have no way to resist him.
All I could do was go along with that person's wishes and help them deal with Qi Guze and his group.
Qi Guze was worried that something might happen to Xu Yuehuai, so he stayed by her side to protect her.
After a fight, they were suddenly cornered on the edge of a cliff.
"Put down your weapons and surrender! You are no match for me now!" The man was wearing a black mask, so Qi Guze couldn't see his face at all.
But when Qi Guze heard that person's voice, it always felt somewhat familiar.
"I will never admit defeat!"
"Ah Yue, I'm sorry, I've caused you to get involved."
The two of them held hands tightly and looked back at the high cliff.
"This has nothing to do with you. As long as I can be with you, I'm willing to go through fire and water with you." Xu Yuehuai's tone was particularly gentle. No matter what happens later, she will stay with Qi Guze.
Qi Guze said, "Then you must trust me later and hold my hand tightly. I won't let you get hurt."
Xu Yuehua nodded, and then tightly grasped Qi Guze's hand.
Immediately afterwards, Qi Guze jumped off the cliff with Xu Yuehuai.
The highly skilled robber was shocked by what he saw.
He hadn't expected Qi Guze to be so decisive, actually taking Xu Yuehuai and jumping off the cliff.
This cliff is bottomless; if they jump down now, they will most likely perish.
The robbers nearby were also terrified. Qi Guze and his men were really too amazing. They didn't care about their own lives or beg for mercy and just jumped off the cliff.
If it were them, they would actually beg for mercy to save their own lives!
Seeing that they probably wouldn't survive after jumping off the cliff, Gao Qiang's bandits stopped guarding the place. There were no other paths on the cliff, so he had no way to check on their lives and left.
Qi Guze held Xu Yuehuai tightly around the waist, took out his dagger, and stuck it into the cliff face. The dagger slid down quickly, and they clung tightly to the cliff as they slid down.
At first, the speed was extremely fast, but gradually, Qi Guze controlled their descent speed, slowing it down.
Then he carefully examined the surrounding area and saw a protruding cliff below.
They can stand on that cliff face later; that's safe for now.
Are you scared?
Qi Guze asked Xu Yuehuai.
Xu Yuehuai hugged Qi Guze tightly around the waist, shook her head, and said.
"As long as the prince is by my side, A-Yue has nothing to be afraid of."
Qi Guze said, "I will definitely not let you get into any danger. We'll jump off that cliff later. You must hold on to me tightly. I will protect you."
After saying this, he chose a spot and then led Xu Yuehuai to jump down the cliff.
As he released the dagger, he leaped onto the cliff face and landed steadily. Xu Yuehuai swayed slightly but did not fall. She was held securely in Qi Guze's arms and did not encounter any danger.
Now they stood on the cliff face and discovered a cave inside.
"Your Highness, look! There's actually a cave here!"
"We can stay in this cave tonight and won't have to suffer from the cold!"
As Xu Yuehuai spoke, she was about to walk into the cave when Qi Guze quickly grabbed her.
“We don’t know what dangers are inside this cave yet. You stay here and I will go and take a look.”
As Qi Guze spoke, he immediately shielded Xu Yuehuai behind him and went into the cave to check on the situation inside.
After entering the cave, Qi Guze lit a tinderbox and carefully examined his surroundings by its light.
Inside the cave, there was nothing unusual except for some vines. But suddenly, next to the vines, there was a small green snake, hidden inside and difficult to spot.
Qi Guze also heard a faint hissing sound and that's when he discovered the small snake.
He immediately took his sword and slashed at the snake.
But suddenly the little snake darted out and flew away.
