nWei Na answered, “Master, Xue Ling is two miles to your right. She must have seen you and is hiding there waiting for you to leave so she can escape.”

n

n“Tsk!” An Jiuyue clicked her tongue.

n

nShe glanced at the sword beside Qian Jiyun and smiled meaningfully. She reached out and pulled the sword out of the hilt.

n

n“Let me borrow your sword.” With that, she dashed off toward the right.

n

n“Jiuyue!”

n

nQian Jiyun did not understand what she wanted to do and immediately followed her.

n

n“Master, Mistress!”

n

nYan Nuo swallowed the food in his mouth and chased after them.

n

n…

n

nXue Ling shivered in a bush.

n

nShe only escaped from the military camp less than half a day ago. With no horses, she could travel on foot.

n

nShe did not expect to encounter Qian Jiyun and Yan Nuo so soon!

n

nTo make things worse, An Jiuyue, whom she detested, was with them! She wanted to pounce on the woman, who had embarrassed her and ruined her image in front of Qian Jiyun, and eat her alive!

n

nHowever, it was not the time for that. She could not let Qian Jiyun know she had escaped from the military camp. She had to hide.

n

nHence, she slowly retreated and decided to hide in the grass and wait for the three of them to leave.

n

nThe military camp was close by. She reckoned they would leave quickly and rush to the camp after eating some food.

n

nAfter they left, she would go to the nearby town to buy a strong horse and leave this darn place quickly!

n

n“Damn it! I’ll tell my aunt about her when I get back and let her deal with that woman!” she muttered as she hid.

n

nShe did not lower her voice much because she thought she was already quite far away from Qian Jiyun’s group—though it was mainly because she was too angry.

n

n“Hmph! There can only be one woman by Brother Yun’s side, and that’s me! All other women have to die! I won’t let anyone off!”

n

n“Really?”

n

nSuddenly, Xue Ling’s ears picked up a familiar voice.

n

nShocked, she got ready to stand up but soon felt an intimidating aura charging at her. She raised her foot subconsciously to take a step back.

n

nHowever, she forgot she was squatting and staggered, falling back on the grass.

n

nA long sword tore through the air and struck the stone in front of her, releasing an ear-piercing sound.

n

nFrightened, she shrieked instinctively.

n

nHowever, she quickly covered her mouth when she remembered she would risk being discovered by Qian Jiyun and the others.

n

n“What’s the use of covering your mouth?” An Jiuyue asked in amusement as she watched Xue Ling.

n

n“Not bad, Wei Na. You can sense auras two miles away?” She communicated with Wei Na in her mind.

n

n“Of course.” Wei Na responded proudly, but it cried internally.

n

nIt could only sense the vital energies nearby and locate someone by targeting them.

n

nIt would not have been able to sense Xue Ling if she had not been nearby. Xue Ling was unlucky because it happened to lock onto her aura.

n

n“What a bold person! Master, did she escape from the military camp?”
