“And who is this?” The middle-aged man asked.
“His name is Feng Jiu and he accompanies me. ” Xie Yutang replied quickly while glancing at Feng Jiu. He couldn’t help but quietly exhale a sigh of relief as he observed her smiling in a simple, honest manner while standing motionless and remaining silent.
“Since you want to come out with us, you must follow our rules. You must not run around or cause any problems for us while we’re in this place.”The middle-aged man remarked and motioned to them. “Sit down and rest!” As he spoke, he turned away from them and returned to his seat next to the elderly man.
“Thank you so much, Senior.” Xie Yutang smiled, gave Feng Jiu a quick look, and then sat down to rest.
The others just gave them a passing glance when they joined the group, while the young man who had talked to them earlier came over and stopped in front of Xie Yutang and others and inquired, “Is Miss Xie’s foot seriously injured? Has she been given medication?”
“Yes, I have given the medication to my sister.” Xie Yutang rose to his feet and saluted him with cupped fists. “Thank you for speaking on our behalf earlier.”
The young man smiled. “My name is Guo Xinning. I’m only a few years older than you, so you can call me Big Brother Guo.”
“Big Brother Guo.” Xie Yutang smiled and called out.
Xie Shisi quickly looked at the kind man in front of her, lowered her head slightly, and murmured, “Big Brother Guo.”
Feng Jiu observed the scene with a simple and honest look and a smile on her face. She only wanted to ask them how to get out and then leave on their own, but they ended up travelling with them.
In that case, let’s just follow them! She sat aside, listening to Guo Xinning and Xie Yutang talk, and then looked at him quietly.
Seeing this man dressed in black, durable outfits for the experience trip with swords at his waist, his ink hair bound up, his skin as clear as jade, his gentle disposition, and his demeanour that indicated him to be a noble young master, Feng Jiu couldn’t help glancing at Xie Shisi with a snicker.
Guo Xinning was handsome, spoke with great care, and exuded the aura of a young master through his bearing. No wonder the girl’s cheeks were flushed and her gaze was filled with adoration.
Nevertheless, based on this group’s cultivation and bearing, you could deduce that they were members of a large, influential clan. Particularly Guo Xinning, who must have been a highly esteemed direct line disciple. It would be undesirable if the girl became carried away.
“All right, get ready to continue the journey!” The elderly and middle-aged men stood up. As soon as the sound was heard, the young disciples around them stood up as well.
Xie Yutang carried his sister on his back and followed after them, while Feng Jiu walked beside the sibling. Guo Xinning, who was walking ahead, saw them at the rear and approached them.
“Why don’t you move to the front with me? It is safer to walk in the middle.” Guo Xinning stated in a gentle tone that he would take them ahead.
“Isn’t that inappropriate?”
Xie Yutang was also aware that walking in the back was unsafe, but it was already considered satisfactory that the Guo family was willing to take them out of the area. It would be impolite to walk in the middle and allow these people to protect them.
“Never mind, come on!” Guo Xinning smiled gently and led them forward.
The other young disciples just glanced at it and said nothing.
The Guo family’s breathing did not become erratic after a distance of walking, but Xie Yutang was gasping for air because he was carrying his sister on his back.
