Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 2214: Chapter 2213: What Can She Give Him in Return?

The second brother and Si Yihuan charged out on horseback, with Jiang Yichun protecting them all the way, deflecting the incoming arrows with his sword. Bai Ruozhu fired her sleeve arrow at the top several times, causing a few guards to fall to the ground.

This reduced the firepower significantly.

Bai Ruozhu, seeing it was about time, jumped onto Xiaohei’s back and chased after Jiang Yichun and his group.

Someone who was neither poisoned nor injured quietly followed them out of the City Gate, drawing a bow aimed at Bai Ruozhu’s back.

Jiang Yichun happened to look back and see this scene, but the arrow had already left the string, flying swiftly toward Bai Ruozhu. The person shooting the arrow had some inner strength and was quite a skilled archer!

”Watch out!” Jiang Yichun’s heart pounded violently, almost jumping out of his chest, but he was too far away to lend any aid, and the arrow was about to hit the target.

Suddenly, a white shadow flashed by, as if a gust of wind had blown through, knocking the arrow aside, and then the person flipped to one side.

Bai Ruozhu had already sensed the danger and even thought she was surely going to get injured, but unexpectedly...

She turned her head to look, and sure enough, it was Feng Cheng.

Xiaohei continued running forward, putting more distance between her and Feng Cheng. Feng Cheng looked at her, a slight smile on his lips, but his face was deathly pale.

Bai Ruozhu’s eyes burned, tears falling down uncontrollably. She was both distressed and angry, shouting to Feng Cheng, ”Why are you still following me? Go back to the Peach Forest quickly, you’ll die like this!”

His complexion was much worse than before; the curse had intensified. Why didn’t he just stay honestly in the Peach Forest? Why was he so intent on protecting her?

If it wasn’t for the previous extremely critical situation forcing him to reveal himself to save her, he would likely have kept it a secret, never letting her know of his silent sacrifices.

Feng Cheng smiled and softly said, ”This is the last time, I will leave.”

His words reached Bai Ruozhu’s ears, leaving her so distressed that she could hardly breathe. She finally spoke, ”Stop standing stupidly, leave with us!”

She signaled Xiaohei to stop, demonstrating that if Feng Cheng didn’t leave with them, she would stay put and wait for the pursuers to attack.

Feng Cheng shook his head, leaping forward, ”Let me send you off once more.”

Jiang Yichun watched Feng Cheng from afar, feeling somewhat mixed inside, but still grateful that he saved Ruozhu just now.

Bai Ruozhu and Feng Cheng caught up with the others. No one asked how Feng Cheng appeared; everyone tacitly kept their mouths shut.

They galloped madly, and two hours later, they entered the Northern mountains.

The horses were tired too, so they slowed down and finally began talking.

Si Yihuan recounted how she encountered Fo Lanying and witnessed their hostage exchange, only for Fo Lanying to fall into a trap, along with everything else. After finishing, she burst into tears.

”I didn’t like her before, but I never expected she would sacrifice herself to shield me one day,” Si Yihuan said.

”She’s changed a lot; she used to be too arrogant but not inherently bad. After such a big shock, she came to her senses.” Bai Ruozhu said emotionally.

”We’ll find a way to rescue her, but that expert under Zhou Shixuan is hard to deal with. Last time, I caught him off guard with a Divine Sense Attack, but it definitely won’t work as well next time.” Bai Zepei said.

Feng Cheng suddenly spoke up, ”I’ll help you.”

Then, feeling it might be inappropriate, he hurriedly explained, ”Fo Lanying is also one of our Jiuli Clan people; I also want to save her.”

”No way!” Bai Ruozhu hastily exclaimed. She knew Feng Cheng was finding an excuse; he really wanted to help her.

”Your curse has worsened; you can’t use your inner strength anymore. You’re not suited to fight that person.” Bai Ruozhu said a bit angrily.

Jiang Yichun’s expression shifted. Although he felt sad before, he still thought this Feng Cheng could take care of Ruozhu. How come Feng Cheng was also cursed, just like him with the Vein Curse?

”It’ll be fine. If I can’t even handle the people here, won’t that ruin my Guardian Spirit’s reputation?” Feng Cheng joked straightforwardly, ”I promise to return to the Peach Forest after this and recuperate well.”

”You can’t always...” Bai Ruozhu couldn’t continue. He couldn’t always help her unconditionally; she couldn’t bear it.

What could she offer in return?

Feng Cheng smiled slightly, a touch of color returning to his pale face, ”Just give me more of the blood replenishing medicine, which is something I can’t find elsewhere anyway, so I’d say I’m getting the better deal.”

Bai Ruozhu sniffed, taking out a bunch of red pills from her Space, giving them all to Feng Cheng. Feng Cheng didn’t refuse, accepting them with a smile.

Because he had been to her Space, he knew the blood replenishing medicine was made from red fruits, and he knew she could make quite a bit, so he accepted. If it were something extremely rare, he would never take it.

After resting, the group carried on their journey. Bai Ruozhu glanced at Jiang Yichun, wanting to explain something, but didn’t know where to start. Not wanting to, Jiang Yichun smiled at her, his eyes filled with tenderness, showing he understood her.

They loved and knew each other, thus they could trust one another, never easily giving rise to suspicion.

The group continued onward, soon discovering the marks Gao Zhou and his team left along the way. These were agreed upon beforehand when they split into two groups; Gao Zhou left concealed marks along the way, allowing them to follow the signs to find them.

Because of the dire situation, no one dared to rest, so they kept going, everyone feeling a bit weary, especially Si Yihuan who hadn’t rested well for several days. Her body swayed slightly on the horse, but she gritted her teeth and persevered because she knew she absolutely had to rescue Fo Lanying.

Finally, as the sun rose, they discovered traces left by a large group. It was evidence left by Zhou Shixuan’s subordinates, indicating they must be just ahead!

Si Yihuan immediately perked up, turning to look at Bai Ruozhu and the others, waiting for them to plan the next step.

”Let’s observe from behind first, assess the situation before making a move.” Jiang Yichun said.

”I’ll set up a small Barrier so that people won’t easily discover us.” Bai Zepei said.

After discussing, they continued to pursue cautiously, slower this time to avoid alarming the enemy.

After about half an hour, they finally spotted Zhou Shixuan’s subordinates. However, as Bai Ruozhu looked around carefully, she surprisingly didn’t see any sign of Fo Lanying!

”I don’t see Fo Lanying.” She whispered.

Si Yihuan’s tears fell in torrents, ”Look again, maybe...”

Could it be that Fo Lanying had already been killed?

Bai Ruozhu pressed her shoulder, ”Don’t panic yet.”

As long as they didn’t see Fo Lanying’s body, they couldn’t give up hope!

No one dared to act rashly, so they continued to follow from afar, and as a result, they followed for another two hours.

Finally, the group ahead came to a halt, the leader saying something that caused several people to scatter in all directions.
