This sudden turn of events temporarily subdued the wolf pack, but the matter was not over yet. A series of startled bird calls echoed from the distant woods, and Shen Mingzhuang immediately felt a chill. He grabbed Shuangyue's hand and pulled her off the ground.
Shuangyue was, after all, a master of the Imperial Guard. As soon as she escaped danger, she immediately used her lightness skill to climb a tree, not daring to burden Shen Mingzhuang.
Benyue Lingfeng also came to his senses at this moment, and used his lightness skill to fly over to Shen Mingzhuang. "Your Majesty, there should be more wolves coming this way. You should find a place to hide quickly, it is not advisable to stay here for long."
Shen Mingzhuang nodded, "Let's all go hide in the courtyard first."
She also noticed the situation in the distant mountains and forests. With so many birds startled and flying away, there must be quite a few wolves coming this way. Now that everyone is out of danger, there is no need for them to get entangled with the wolves.
Ling Feng nodded, "Alright, that's all we can do for now."
He Wenqing had already been awakened. Through the gap in the wooden wall, he could see what was happening outside. He thought that these people should have left by now, but unexpectedly, the wall suddenly sank, and several figures landed like startled birds. Shen Mingzhuang had already landed lightly and steadily in front of him.
"Grandpa He Wen?"
Shen Mingzhuang looked at He Wenqing, somewhat surprised that he was outside. Everyone's attention was on the wolf pack just now, and no one noticed He Wenqing. Moreover, he was... spying?
Caught red-handed, He Wenqing smiled sheepishly, looking embarrassed. This was not the time to argue. Shen Mingzhuang immediately said to He Wenqing, "Grandpa He Wen, you should have seen the situation outside. More wolves are coming this way. Can you hide here for a while?"
He Wenqing was also panicking. What was the situation outside? There were dead wolves all over the place. What were those? Those were wolves! "Wolves are the most vengeful. You've killed so many wolves. Do you think this old man's place is some kind of impregnable fortress? This is just a wooden yard. Girl, what are you waiting for if you don't run now?"
Seeing Shen Mingzhuang hesitate, He Wenqing explained again: "Wolves will gnaw on wood. My yard here has been around for many years. You've killed so many wolves. When these wolves go berserk, what wouldn't they do? You're a tiger yourself!"
He Wenqing was still quite helpless. Now that this had happened, unless the wolf pack was completely wiped out, he wouldn't be able to live in peace here.
Upon hearing this, Shen Mingzhuang suddenly had a flash of inspiration. What was she here for? She was here to find He Wenqing. The sooner they found He Wenqing, the sooner Jiang Wang's condition could be controlled. This was truly an opportunity.
“Grandpa He Wen, you’re getting on in years. I can’t leave you here alone. Please come with us.”
He Wenqing never expected that when she tried to persuade Shen Mingzhuang to leave, she would instead try to persuade him to leave with her.
"I'm an old man anyway, life and death are in the hands of fate, so I'm not going. You are still young, you have a long life ahead of you, so don't delay, go quickly."
He still has a cellar here, so he can hide in the cellar and come out again when the wolves leave. If the house is destroyed by the wolves, he will move to another place. He doesn't want to leave Qingmao Mountain now.
To everyone's surprise, Shen Mingzhuang sincerely broke through: "Grandpa He Wen, whether you want to save people or not, I will not leave you here alone."
Then, after saying that, he delivered a swift chop and knocked the person unconscious.
