Meanwhile, Mu Qingchen and his personal bodyguard had also entered the forest.

The bodyguard looked up at the sky. "Young master, look, that falcon is flying so high."

Mu Qingchen lifted his gaze and looked up.

He had been watching the falcon for a while, noticing that it had been circling in a certain direction.

Mu Qingchen withdrew his gaze. "Forget about the falcon. Finding someone is more important."

The bodyguard responded, "Yes, young master."

The two people walked for a while, and the bodyguard quietly said, "It's already dark. If we still haven't found the Little County Princess, I'm afraid her chances of survival are slim."

Mu Qingchen frowned but said nothing.

He didn’t want to see such a thing happen, but he couldn’t deny that the longer it took, the slimmer the Little County Princess's chances of survival became.

They had entered the forest from a different direction, so they hadn't come across the corpses of the vendor and the man in black and didn’t know that the Little County Princess had already been found and taken away.

The bodyguard spoke again, "Young master, why didn’t you have Young Master Mu Chuan come with us?"

Mu Qingchen replied, "It wouldn’t make a difference even if he came."

After all, he was still just a youth himself.

As the two were talking, a sudden screech of a falcon came from the sky. The gyrfalcon that had been circling above the forest dove down abruptly, as if it had spotted its prey.

Immediately afterward, a series of horrific screams echoed from deep within the forest: “Ahhhh—”

The bodyguard, on alert, said, "Young master! Someone’s there!"

Mu Qingchen glanced at the map in his hand under the moonlight, “It’s coming from the direction of the stream. Let’s go check it out!”

Halfway there, the two of them were unable to continue on horseback, as the terrain had become too rough, making it faster to use qinggong than to continue riding.

At this point, they were both on foot.

They used their qinggong techniques to hurry toward the scene.

By the stream, a chaotic fight was already underway.

Several heads and prominent figures of the various n.o.ble families present were all martial pract.i.tioners. Otherwise, how could they have personally ventured into the forest?

Only Old Master Yang stood alone off to the side, watching the fight. He was the oldest on the scene, over fifty, and had to be helped up and down the trees by his bodyguards.

Master Dong blocked one of Gu Jiao’s spear strikes and gritted his teeth, shouting over, “Enough, Old Master Yang, stop pretending! If you keep this act up, none of us are getting out of here alive!”

Among these people, Old Master Yang, who was pretending to be weak, was actually the most skilled in martial arts.

Even with Master Dong, Lord Chen, and Lord Du joining forces, they were only able to fight Gu Jiao to a draw.

Gu Jiao was incredibly difficult to deal with.

This had caught everyone by surprise.

But Old Master Yang hadn't been standing by idly for so long. He had been carefully observing Gu Jiao’s fighting style, looking for any weaknesses.

The youth indeed had weaknesses, but the other three had even more, which explained why they were faring so badly.

Old Master Yang suddenly leaped into action, “Fine, I’ll help you.”

Once Old Master Yang joined the fight, Gu Jiao immediately felt the pressure.

This seemingly inconspicuous old man was actually a true expert!

Just as the battle between the few of them raged on, several bodyguards appeared from the other side of the forest.

They were clever enough not to join the battle between the experts and instead headed straight for the stream to seize Little Jing Kong and the Little County Princess.

The main issue was that it had gotten dark, and the two of them wore the same clothes, had similar hairstyles, and their faces were so dirty that their features were unrecognizable.

The bodyguards couldn’t tell which one was the Little County Princess, so they decided to grab both.

Gu Jiao called out, "Little Nine!"

Little Nine swooped down and immediately pecked out the eyes of the leading bodyguard.

The agonized screams that Mu Qingchen and his bodyguard had heard earlier came from this man.

At that moment, Little Nine was no longer just an ordinary falcon. It had become Gu Jiao's battle falcon!

Little Nine had begun its own fight!

One of the bodyguards feigned injury and fell into the stream, but in reality, he had his eyes on the two little ones by the stream.

Little Jing Kong watched as the bodyguard got up and crawled toward him.

Well, JiaoJiao only told me not to turn around, she never said I couldn’t move.

The bodyguard lunged at Little Jing Kong with a fierce pounce.

Little Jing Kong leaped up, and with a swift motion of his little iron hand, he reached forward and exclaimed, "Monkey steals peaches!"

The bodyguard: "...!!"

The bodyguard fell to his knees, his face contorted in pain.

Mu Qingchen, who had just arrived on the scene and witnessed this, instinctively tightened his legs and drew in a sharp breath.

Gu Jiao’s reaction wasn’t much better—she staggered and almost fell over!

Where did he learn such indecent moves?

Don’t tell her it was that “Little Chicken Monkey” again who taught him!

Her innocent, pure Little Jing Kong had gone down the wrong path!

Once she returned to the State of Zhao, she was going to beat him! Then beat him! And beat him some more!

Gu Jiao had misunderstood.

This move wasn’t taught by Marquis Xuanping but came from Little Jing Kong’s strongest mischievous friend, Xu Zhouzhou, the leader of the notorious trio at the State of Zhao’s Imperial Academy.

The battle between Gu Jiao and Master Dong’s group was incredibly intense. With the addition of Old Master Yang, the opposing side’s fighting strength had certainly increased, but Gu Jiao was undoubtedly a tough opponent.

She fought recklessly, while Master Dong and the others could not afford to do the same.

On one hand, they didn’t want to suffer injuries, but on the other hand, they hoped to easily kill Gu Jiao. As a result, the more they fought, the more disorganized they became. In the end, aside from Old Master Yang, the other three had all been injured.

Master Dong was an old fox. He always shouted the loudest and stayed the farthest away, letting his companions take the brunt of the damage, so his injuries were the lightest.

Lord Chen had it the worst—his right leg and left abdomen were bleeding profusely, and he lay on the ground unconscious.

Meanwhile, Gu Jiao’s stamina was also greatly depleted.

If the fight continued, it would only result in both sides suffering, and possibly worse because of that Yang person…

Gu Jiao glanced at Old Master Yang.

This person was too enigmatic. The records on him in the library pavilion were minimal.

If it hadn’t been for the fight with him today, who would have thought that he was a hidden expert?

Master Dong turned to Old Master Yang and said, “His stamina is almost depleted. Old Master Yang, Old Du and I will hold him off, then you wait for the right moment. A single strike and he’ll be done for!”

Old Master Yang’s gaze turned cold as he looked at Gu Jiao, “Understood.”

Master Dong and Lord Du exchanged a glance, and with silent coordination, they moved to Gu Jiao’s sides, preparing to strike from both the front and back.

Old Master Yang, on the other hand, observed the battle intently, waiting for Gu Jiao to reveal a weakness.

As Master Dong kept Gu Jiao’s lower body restrained, and Lord Du blocked her red-ta.s.seled silver spear, Old Master Yang’s eyes narrowed.

The youth’s stamina had dropped, and his speed slowed by a fraction.

To an ordinary expert, that moment might not mean much, but to someone of his level, it was a glaring opening!

Now was the time!

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:

Description:

In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the s.h.i.+ family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succ.u.mb to darkness amidst hards.h.i.+p and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.

When s.h.i.+ Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the s.h.i.+ family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.

The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.

From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.

***

Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like s.h.i.+ Dai.

After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, "Scared?"

s.h.i.+ Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, "The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?"

s.h.i.+ Dai replied, "Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Don't abandon me, alri—”

s.h.i.+ Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

He hasn't finished his lines yet though…
