"It's another group of people, they're shooting, retreat."
As soon as Long Yunting finished speaking, numerous shots rang out in the mountains and forests.
Another group of people discovered them.
Thermal equipment used.
It's a local force!
Fu Huoqing's group grumbled and avoided them.
Once the fighting started, both sides went into a state of high alert.
No one dared to be careless anymore.
*
Sheng Qian and her group were also marching at high speed that night when they heard a series of sounds from afar, and everyone stopped.
"There's movement ahead, quicken your pace."
Everyone has sped up.
Even so, it still takes half an hour to get close to the commotion over there.
By the time they arrived, the forest had gradually quieted down.
The strong smell of blood and gunpowder told them that a fierce battle had just taken place here.
Sheng Qian hurriedly ran forward.
A swift shadow suddenly swept out.
Sheng Mu was right next to Sheng Qian, and he quickly stepped forward, saying, "Be careful."
As he spoke, he had already blocked Sheng Qian's way.
However, the opponent's speed caused them to withdraw most of their power in an instant, which allowed Sheng Mu to take the opportunity to attack.
But the other party didn't even utter a sound.
"Qianqian!"
His voice was deep, yet tinged with joy.
Sheng Mu didn't have time to retract her attack before she landed a punch on her opponent.
However, the other party did not move an inch, his dark, bright eyes fixed on Sheng Qian, who was standing behind Sheng Mu.
Sheng Qian also sensed familiarity the moment the other person appeared, so she didn't move.
She knew the other party would be able to stop.
But I didn't expect Sheng Mu to act so quickly.
Sheng Mu immediately turned around and struck again after his first attack, but this time his opponent countered with a fierce move.
Even if Sheng Mu is strong, he can't compare to the opponent's abnormal skills.
"stop."
Sheng Qian pulled Sheng Mu over, blocking Long Yunting's icy attack.
Although she had withdrawn her strength, she was still shaken by it.
"Qianqian!"
Long Yunting's voice trembled, and he hurriedly reached out to support Sheng Qian, who was staggering slightly.
The other hand reached out faster than Long Yunting, and Long Yunting's movement missed.
He suddenly narrowed his icy eyes, staring coldly at Sheng Mu, who was protecting Sheng Qian.
The way the two helped each other and cooperated so well made Long Yunting so jealous that he wanted to kill someone.
He stared coldly at Sheng Mu, his eyes gleaming with an undisguised chill.
“They’re my men,” Sheng Qian breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the two of them were alright, then looked at Long Yunting with concern in her eyes and asked, “Are you hurt?”
“It’s alright,” Long Yunting said, gripping Sheng Qian’s hand tightly and pulling her towards him, his eyes still coldly fixed on Sheng Mu.
He clearly saw how Sheng Qian protected Sheng Mu just now.
Sheng Qian actually took his attack for this man; that's too much to ask.
For a moment, Long Yunting felt a tightness in his chest, as if Sheng Qian would kill him for someone else.
His heart skipped a beat again.
Long Yunting hugged Sheng Qian tightly and lowered his head to kiss her.
Fortunately, it was dark, so I couldn't see very clearly.
Otherwise, this kiss would be incredibly awkward.
This is not the more open era of later generations.
Sheng Qian patted him and pushed him away, "It's good that you're alright, A-Ting. When I heard the news about you, I thought you..."
“I’m fine. I won’t let myself get hurt. You shouldn’t have come here, Qianqian. You know how worried I was. But you still came. I’m both happy and scared. I’m scared that you’ll get into trouble because of this, and I just happen to not be there for you.”
Long Yunting rarely showed his emotions, but now, he actually kissed Sheng Qian in front of so many people and said these things.
Sheng Qian's heart ached as well, and she said, "I won't let anything happen to myself. How could I put myself in danger before I saw you? Long Yunting, don't scare me like that again."
"It won't happen again. I promise you it won't happen again." This is the last time.
He wasn't a fragile person who needed her to risk her life to save him.
Although he was glad that Sheng Qian would do anything for him, he didn't want her to do the same thing.
Sheng Mu was a little embarrassed at this moment.
He almost misunderstood just now.
Moreover, it was too dark at night, and he didn't realize that the other party was Long Yunting at all, and they almost really started fighting.
To be honest, he's always busy with research and also dedicates time and energy to learning other things; he's nowhere near a match for someone who specializes in this field.
"Sheng Mu, are you alright?!"
Fu Huoqing ran over quickly.
In that instant, Sheng Mu saw the anxiety in Fu Huoqing's eyes, and suddenly smiled gently, "I'm fine, I'm sorry to have worried you."
"It's good that you're alright. If something had happened to you, I wouldn't have been able to explain it to the Sheng family."
Sheng Mu, who was still happy a second ago: "..."
As expected, he still didn't win her favor.
but.
Sheng Mu turned around and saw the two embracing each other, a barely perceptible smile appearing on her lips.
This time, I really have a chance.
I believe that with his sincerity, he will surely be able to win over Fu Huoqing.
If we were to evaluate Fu Huoqing according to the standards of later generations, she would be a typical straightforward woman!
She walked over, and when she saw Sheng Qian, her eyes widened. Ignoring the fact that the two were still being affectionate, she exclaimed in surprise, "It's you! Sheng Qian!"
Sheng Qian was taken aback, left Long Yunting's embrace, and looked at Fu Huoqing in surprise, "It's you!"
Sheng Qian's smile was completely genuine.
