Chapter 21 The Last Two Hours



Tu Nian didn't know that he had been unconscious for the whole day.

After one day and two nights, many disciples who had completed their training had walked out of the Fushan Cave one after another.

Jin Nanfeng and Chu Qiurong were waiting at the entrance of the cave, but they never saw Tu Nian's figure, and both of them looked unhappy.

After mistaking the disciple leaving the cave for the umpteenth time, Chu Qiurong couldn't help but ask Lin Qingqing again, "Are you sure you saw her coming here?"

Lin Qingqing said confidently, "After we separated from you, Senior Brother Chu, we did see Junior Sister Tu heading towards the cave entrance alone."

Seeing that he was still very anxious, Lin Qingqing secretly tugged at his sleeve and said softly, "Don't worry, Senior Brother. Maybe Junior Sister Tu is nearby and just got stuck for a moment. Who knows?"

"The retreat will end in two hours. How can I not be anxious?"

Chu Qiurong said this and pulled the sleeve back from Lin Qingqing's hand.

It was because of Lin Qingqing that he left Tu Nian alone inside. Hearing the other party's indifferent tone, he became even more angry. He pulled his sleeve without any restraint and threw the person out.

"Qiu Rong."

Chu Qiurong came to her senses when Jin Nanfeng called her, and she found that Lin Qingqing had fallen to the ground holding her arm, and the others present were looking at him in astonishment.

Realizing his own gaffe, he murmured, "Big Brother."

Jin Nanfeng nodded, "Go and apologize."

Clenching her fists in silence, Chu Qiurong stepped forward to help Lin Qingqing up and said, "I'm sorry, Junior Sister Lin."

"No, nothing."

Lin Qingqing had never seen him angry before. Thinking of what happened just now, she couldn't help but take a step back in fear.

Chu Qiurong didn't even look at her. She strode to the Red Dust Mirror and tried to find Tu Nian's trace again.

Unfortunately, no matter how much spiritual power he injected, the result of the Red Dust Mirror was no different from the previous times.

Jin Nanfeng's voice came from behind him, "No need to look for it."

Chu Qiurong paused, "But Junior Sister..."

"The Red Dust Mirror's inaccessible place is also found within the Fushan Cave. If you can't find it once, then any further searches will be in vain."

Raising his hand to collect the Red Dust Mirror, Jin Nanfeng said, "For example, there are extremely rare treasures, or territories inhabited by powerful monsters. Furthermore, there are also artificial means to block the Red Dust Mirror's detection. All these situations are beyond your and my knowledge."

His words were full of profound meaning. Both Lin Qingqing and Su Youzhi, who was looking after Senior Brother Song, were startled when they heard them.

Needless to say, Lin Qingqing took great pains to find the Buddha's Eye Spider's cave in order to avoid revealing any clues in the Red Dust Mirror.

Su Youzhi used the item given to her by Yuzhe to cover up her whereabouts.

Since Tu Nian fell off the cliff, she tried to find him several times but couldn't find him. She thought Tu Nian was buried at the bottom of the cliff, so she left the country with the main force.

She thought that no matter whether Tu Nian was dead or alive, as long as no one knew that she had been with Tu Nian, the matter would be left unresolved. Now that she heard that Jin Nanfeng was interested in her, she couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

Jin Nanfeng took in the two girls' rather unnatural behavior.

Xiao Yunxiang watched the two of them anxiously, gloating and saying, "Brother Nanfeng, I'm not saying this, but your sect has always had few people. We finally came here for training, and now we've lost one."

"If this continues year after year, in a few years, I'm afraid your clan will be broken up, right?"

Chu Qiurong had always been at odds with him, and was in a bad mood now. Her face darkened upon hearing this, and when she was about to take action, Jin Nanfeng stepped in front of her.

Holding down the restless Chu Qiurong with one hand, Jin Nanfeng faced Xiao Yunxiang with the same impassive expression, "The quality of the disciples is more important than their number. This is the truth, and I believe that Master Xiao knows it better than me."

As he spoke, he glanced at Su Youzhi who was not far away. The latter felt a chill on his spine when he saw those overly calm eyes, and quickly turned his head away.

"Besides, a family with a vast business cannot tolerate such ants. If it is not properly cared for, the edifice will collapse in a matter of moments."

After saying that, Jin Nanfeng ignored Xiao Yunxiang's barking and dragged Chu Qiurong back to the sect team, instructing him, "Leave this to you first. I'll go find Tu Nian."

After a few days, combined with his experiences, the doubts in his heart were answered. Since he had taken the initiative to ask Tu Nian to go with him before, now he must bring her back safely.

At this point, Jin Nanfeng didn't think any more and immediately flew towards the Fushan Cave.

"But the retreat is about to close. If we go now... Senior Brother!"

Chu Qiurong wanted to stop him, but in the end she only touched the corner of his clothes.

Watching Jin Nanfeng enter the Fushan Cave, Chu Qiurong shook his fist in frustration.

Two hours.

If Jin Nanfeng fails to bring Tu Nian back before the retreat ends, the two of them will have to wait until the early spring of next year to come out.

On the other side, under the deep pool, Tu Nian, who was completely unaware of the chaos outside, had just swam out of the water with great effort, and the next moment, he lay down on the spot.

After gracefully shaking off the water, Bo Qiu looked at her exhausted and distressed appearance and said in a funny tone, "Practice should be put on the agenda."

Tu Nian grabbed a piece of black stone and panted heavily, saying, "Don't be so lazy when you're talking. If I were as light as you, I could also travel thousands of miles a day without feeling tired."

Bo Qiu didn't listen to her nonsense and said lazily, "You never listen. When the day comes when I can no longer protect you, you'll know how sad it is."

Tu Nian rolled his eyes and said disdainfully, "You keep saying you're protecting me, but you've made me wade through water and bleed. Yes, let's talk about the bleeding."
