Chapter 188 Blame
"How did you fall down there? Why are you in such a dangerous place? Isn't it said that the Misty Forest is safe for these beasts?"
Qian Jingyao asked anxiously.
Xia Yueke scratched his head embarrassedly, "I was chasing the monster myself and didn't see the boundary they drew clearly. Then I went too far and accidentally fell down!"
Qian Jingyao's face was filled with anger. "No, I have to ask him how he looks at you young beasts. Such a dangerous thing exists."
After Qian Jingyao finished speaking, he immediately found Qi'an who was not far away and shouted loudly:
"Master Qi'an, what's going on? Why didn't you discover the dark valley? Why did you leave these young beasts in the dangerous misty forest?"
After hearing this, the other female partners immediately gathered around.
They were terrified when they heard the eagle beast say that a female was in trouble, and they were worried that it was their partner.
If it is really as dangerous here as Qian Jingyao said, then they really need to consider whether to let the females participate later.
"Master Qi'an, please give me a clear answer. Can you protect these young beasts? What if something unexpected happens again?"
A bear beast had a serious expression and looked very scary.
"Yes, yes, you have to have a promise!"
The other orcs immediately agreed.
Qi'an remained calm and responded neither servile nor overbearing:
"This was due to our negligence. We did not anticipate this incident. However, we did our best to ensure their safety and actively carried out rescue operations after the incident."
Qian Jingyao's expression still looked unhappy, and he seemed to be blaming someone.
Xia Yue didn't expect Qian Jingyao to be so resolute, and quickly ran over from behind, "Okay, Yaoyao, this really was just an accident, and Qi'an flew down to save me immediately!"
Qian Jingyao looked at Xia Yueke, frowning slightly, "Keke, although you said it was an accident, it also exposed their security loopholes."
Qi An nodded slightly.
"You're right. After this incident, we will conduct a comprehensive investigation of potential dangers in the forest, strengthen protective measures, and re-plan the range of activities for the young beasts."
"But before that, everyone should prioritize safety. The activities of the young beasts will be temporarily suspended until we have dealt with everything and then make other arrangements."
After hearing Qi'an's words, everyone felt a little unwilling, but they also knew that this was the best solution at the moment, so they dispersed, leaving only Qian Jingyao and Xia Yueke standing there.
Qian Jingyao gently took Xia Yueke's hand and said, "Keke, don't be so reckless in the future. If something happens to you, what will happen to Qingyan and me?"
Xia Yueke stuck out her tongue and said, "I know, Yaoyao."
Qing Yan also nodded. He almost went berserk when he heard that Xia Yueke almost got into trouble.
Fortunately, Qian Jingyao was quick enough to pull Qing Yan and signal him to come and ask.
"Yue, did you encounter anything dangerous down there?"
Xia Yueke waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, Qi'an was protecting me when I was down there. Nothing happened to me at all. I'm still alive and kicking!"
After Xia Yueke fell into the dark valley, the other young beasts also stopped their competition.
However, they also experienced the addiction of hunting monsters.
Even if they stopped halfway now, they had no complaints. Instead, they were even happier. After all, the most important thing was Xia Yue's safe return.
After some discussion, Qi'an and Luo Cihe decided to stay here for a few days and conduct more detailed rounds of inspections on the edge of the misty forest.
After all, other cubs will still set foot in this area in the future, so safety should not be underestimated.
A group of twenty or thirty of them found a suitable place to stay.
This place is located in an open area on the edge of the forest, surrounded by towering ancient trees. The lush branches and leaves are like a natural dome, casting mottled light and shadows.
Everyone quickly built a simple place to stay, lit a bonfire, and divided areas for rest, storage, and lookout.
In the temporary shelter, Qian Jingyao finally discovered that Xia Yueke had a slight injury on her hand. The main reason was that Xia Yueke was afraid that Qian Jingyao would find trouble with Qi'an and the others after he knew about it. Qi'an was the one who knew her little secret. What if he got angry because of this?
So she never used her left hand until the big fool Qing Yan wanted to hold her hand and suddenly used too much force and hurt Xia Yuke.
Qian Jingyao immediately realized something was wrong. He grabbed Xia Yueke's hand and saw that there were several small cuts on it, and it was a little purple.
"How did you do that?"
Qian Jingyao frowned, his eyes full of heartache and anxiety, and his voice unconsciously rose a few degrees.
Xia Yueke lowered her head slightly, avoiding his sight, and said hesitantly:
"It was just an accidental scratch. It's okay. It doesn't hurt anymore."
Qian Jingyao didn't believe it at all. He gently lifted her hand and carefully examined the wound, frowning even more tightly.
"Can it be scratched to the point of bruising?"
Xia Yueke hesitated and didn't dare to tell him that it happened when she was picking fruits for Qi'an.
Qian Jingyao stared into her eyes, as if trying to find the truth. After a moment of silence, he slowly said:
"No matter what, I won't let you suffer any injustice. This wound must be treated properly."
As he said that, he turned around and searched for first aid medicine in the temporary shelter. Xia Yueke looked at his busy back with mixed feelings. She was touched by his concern, but also worried that he would get even angrier because of her lies.
After the wound was bandaged, Qian Jingyao's face still looked sour.
Xia Yueke coaxed him for a long time, which finally made Qian Jingyao feel a little better.
Qian Jingyao looked at her tenderly and rubbed her head. "Keke, I hope you can put yourself first in the future. I will be worried if you do this."
Xia Yueke nodded and kissed Qian Jingyao gently, "Okay, Yaoyao, I understand. I will definitely pay attention to my safety in the future."
Two days later, Qi'an came to where Xia Yueke and Qian Jingyao were.
"Qian Jingyao, the preliminary inspection of the Misty Forest has been completed. Several similar hidden dangers have been found and are being rectified."
Qi'an's voice was cold and his eyes were serious.
As he spoke, he handed over the precious herbs and magic crystals he had brought with him, "This is my apology and compensation to Xia Yueke."
Qian Jingyao accepted the gift, his expression still serious. "I hope this won't happen again. The safety of the young beasts cannot be compromised."
Qi An nodded slightly. "Of course, I am responsible for this mistake. I have thought about the follow-up training and protection plan. We can increase the actual combat simulation to improve the response of the beasts. For protection, we can set up a warning beast magic circle to detect danger in time."
Qian Jingyao nodded slightly, and then spoke directly:
"If there's nothing else, you can go back. I don't know much about this training thing, so I hope you have a detailed plan for the future. I just hope you can ensure the safety of the young beasts."
Qi'an's expression did not change. He just nodded lightly and turned to leave.
At this time, Xia Yueke couldn't help but shouted: "Qian, wait a moment."
Qi An stopped and turned to look at her with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
