Chapter 438 Crossing the River



Ye Lan looked at Xiao Yunting, who was still lying at the center of the formation, with calm eyes. She stood up and sat beside him, gently holding his hand.

"It's okay." She said this softly, stroking the back of the man's hand with her fingertips, as if to comfort and forgive him.

It doesn’t matter if she doesn’t come out, because she knows it’s hard work.

The morning light was shining outside the window, the long dark shadows faded away, and the sky finally brightened.

The light of the reincarnation formation also dissipated little by little, turning into fluorescent light floating in the air and gradually moving away from the two people.

Ye Lan stayed quietly by Xiao Yunting's side, accompanying him through the last part of his life.

What a pity.

The dual cultivation method that A Yue gave me was ultimately not used.

She sighed in her heart, but the next moment, her expression froze.

Because she felt Xiao Yunting's hand move, and then when she lowered her head, she met a pair of deep eyes.

"You..." She opened her mouth and was speechless for the first time.

"Seven years." The man's voice was still a little hoarse, as if he had come to her after a long journey. He spoke his mind with deep concern, "It's not that long."

Ye Lan frowned when he heard that. His nose felt sore and he wanted to cry, but the corners of his lips curled up first. "Welcome back."

"Yeah." Xiao Yunting looked at her, raised his hand and wiped the corner of her eyes, as if just brushing away a piece of dust, without saying much.

He forcibly broke through the hibernation restriction and experienced two memory replays. He was not feeling well at the moment and his face was a little pale.

Ye Lan asked him to meditate and regulate his breathing first, using his internal energy to alleviate the impact on his brain.

Since the person is awake, there is no big problem.

By noon, the Xiao Group's helicopter followed the signal and arrived across the no-man's land, and Xiao Yunting had returned to normal.

He coldly watched the employees coming in and out carrying the bodies, and whispered to his assistant beside him, "When we get back, arrest all these people and investigate them, and uncover the connections behind them."

The assistant shuddered, then bowed and replied, "Yes, Boss."

Hearing the familiar name, Ye Lan, who was standing in the atrium looking at the oil painting, turned his head to look at him.

Not anyone in memory.

Sure enough, all the people who came out of the Black Triangle that night died, leaving only Xiao Yunting.

She walked to Xiao Yunting and held his hand. Her palm was broad and warm, and much stronger than when she was young.

Ye Lan didn't want to ask about what happened that night or the memories of the past seven years.

Across the river.

"I told you to cross the river. Didn't you see the helicopter? That's our chance to get out!"

The boys stood by the river, frantically trying to assemble a simple raft by pulling branches and leaves, their eyes fixed on the plane parked on the opposite bank.

The professor and his wife frowned and held different opinions.

"No, it's too dangerous. Mr. Lian Yun and Miss Ye haven't shown up since we went there, and you haven't returned. If they're really a rescue team, they'll definitely be here soon."

Nearly twelve hours have passed since last night, and apart from the constant loud noises, there is no sign of anyone in the villa.

The disappearance of Xiao Yunting and Ye Lan also made everyone completely discouraged and they dared not approach the castle.

Unexpectedly, just as they walked a distance along the professor and his wife's route, they heard the roar of a helicopter.

The moment they saw the plane, everyone almost went crazy with joy.

If an outsider comes in, it means there is salvation!

The boys' group turned back first, and after confirming that the plane was near the castle, they resolutely chose to cross the river.

Hearing the dissuasion, they didn't even look up and said angrily, "What bullshit Mr. Yun and Miss Ye! If they were really that powerful, they would have taken us all out long ago. Who knows where we'd be dead by now. They didn't have the good fortune to wait for rescue, so do they want us to be buried with them?!"

"I'm not telling you to give up," the professor and his wife said earnestly. "I'm just asking you to wait and see how things go."

They were escorted all the way here and had finally made it here.

Moreover, Ye Lan also told them not to cross the river before leaving.

"Wait for nothing! If we wait any longer, everyone else will be rushing over to grab a chance to get on the plane!" The boys were furious. Because they couldn't make the raft properly, they raised their hands and pushed the couple, taking their anger out on them. "Get out of here. If you don't want to go, go and cool off. Anyone else who wants to cross the river, come help us, or you won't be able to take us with you when the time comes."

After living in the jungle for a long time, they also implemented the rule that the strong give orders.

Knowing that in order to go out, these people needed a group of young and strong boys, so they took direct control of the leadership.

The girls stood aside hesitatingly, originally planning to be fence-sitters, but after being yelled at, some of them walked out.

"Lanlan, don't go."

Ren Jiarong grabbed her bestie's hand and shook her head vigorously, trying to stop her. "Who knows what dangers there are on the other side of the river. That's not something we can handle at all."

"No matter how dangerous it is, is my face more important?" Liu Yalan broke free from her hand and coldly peeled off the gauze on her face, revealing half of her face, which was red, swollen and eroded. "If I can't get treatment, I'll be disfigured even if I get out. I might as well die."

The jungle was hot and humid, and without medication, her face couldn't hold up.

"But..." Ren Jiarong wanted to say something else, but Liu Yalan had already turned around and strode towards the boys' group.

With the help of these clever girls, the raft construction progressed much faster. When they finally tried it out in the water, they found that the load-bearing capacity was just enough for them.

So they stood at the bow, took one last look at the professor and his wife and Ren Jiarong, then turned around and left.

"Lanlan..." Ren Jiarong cried sadly, feeling that at this moment she had completely broken up with her best friend.
