My Peerless Princess

Chapter 73 The Cliff
The appearance of that person was like a ray of light, bringing hope to Qin Qing.

Every year in the twelfth lunar month, he will deliberately go to Sui Lanxiang to meet Qin Qing, and bring her some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes that she likes.

It was this once-a-year meeting that gave Qin Qing the hope and courage to stay.

She doesn't care about ridicule and looking at other people, as long as he is there, she still has motivation.

But this year's twelfth lunar month, he did not show up at Suilanxiang on time.

Qin Qing waited for him for a month, but he still didn't show up.

In the end, Qin Qing decided to go out of Sui Lanxiang to find the person who had rescued her in the dark.

But every time she sneaked out, she would be caught by that woman.

Until this day, when she met Yi Nan, she was not taken back by that woman.

After listening to Qin Qing's story about what she had experienced in these years, Yi Nan felt sorry for her inexplicably.

"Let the past be the past." Yi Nan patted Qin Qing's shoulder lightly.

Qin Qing stroked Yi Nan's hand away, "It's so easy for you to say, go over? With me, it's impossible."

After a pause, she continued, "You heard it just now, what kind of life have I lived these years, how do you want me to swallow this breath?"

"I understand everything you said." Yi Nan smiled, "That's why I came to you."

Qin Qing pursed her lips and remained silent.

"The thing I want to confirm is, did the Lin family kill your entire family?" Yi Nan asked with a solemn expression.

Qin Qing touched his head and opened his mouth, but after all, he didn't say yes or no.

"At that time, I was too young to know who they were." Qin Qing lowered her head and said with some shame.

How could Yi Nan give up such a good opportunity, "If I could take you to meet them, would you recognize them?"

"That's for sure," Qin Qing clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth, "They are enemies I have remembered for a long time, how could I forget them so easily."

Looking at the indifferent smile on Qin Qing's face, Yi Nan was very satisfied.

It is a good thing to have the heart of revenge. I really caught the Lin family this time.

The more important thing now is to find my brother and the others. Although the two of them are very convenient to move, their strength is not enough to resist the siege of those people.

Yi Nan thought about it calmly, is there any hidden place nearby to go.

Daling Mountain.

It's a nice place to go.

It's just that there is no comfortable place for them to rest at night.

"Let's go, to Daling Mountain." Yinan Brick said to Qin Qing.

"Daling Mountain?" Qin Qing asked questioningly, "Isn't it an extremely desolate mountain?"

"Just going there." Yi Nan smiled slightly.

With their current conditions, if they don't go there, they really have nowhere to go.

Taking advantage of the moonlight at night, Yi Nan and Qin Qing finally arrived at Daling Mountain before dawn.

"It's so quiet." Qin Qing couldn't help sighing softly.

"Nonsense." Yi Nan cast a glance at her, "If it's not quiet, is it still in the mountains?"

Qin Qing twitched the corners of his mouth and stopped talking.

The two of them didn't communicate any more, and walked towards the mountain step by step.

Occasionally, there would be a few animal roars, which brought a little bit of fear to the two of Xiong Zou in the dark night.

Although Yi Nan was very scared, she had to pretend to be calm in front of Qin Qing, otherwise her identity would be easily exposed.

"Master Nan." Qin Qing suddenly leaned towards Yi Nan.

"What's wrong?" Yi Nan turned sideways slightly, keeping some distance from Qin Qing.

"I..." Qin Qing stammered, but he didn't say anything after all.

Why is it that Yi Nan doesn't know what Qin Qing wants to say, but she can't do anything about it.

"Come closer." Yi Nan said after thinking about it.

Seeing Qin Qing's frightened look, Yi Nan couldn't bear to do that.

Qin Qing nodded, then quickly moved towards Yi Nan's direction.

There was a moment of silence in the air, so quiet that only the breathing of the two could be heard.

Suddenly, Yi Nan seemed to hear the footsteps and voices of other people.

Yi Nan pulls Qin Qing to hide away.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, Yi Nan could hear clearly what they were saying.

"Hey, tell me, where can those people go?" said a deep male voice.

"Who knows, I didn't sleep in the middle of the night, and I was sent to this ghost place to look for someone." Another lighter voice complained.

"Who says it's not." A third voice echoed.

"Why don't we just search for it casually, and just say we're not here when we go back." The deep male voice suggested.

Listening to the approaching footsteps, Yi Nan held her breath involuntarily.

They can't let them discover the existence of themselves and Qin Qing.

"Tell me, what can the master ask from the man we caught today?" The brisk voice sounded again.

Catch someone?

Yi Nan's head hurts for a moment, who could it be?
"Who knows. That man's martial arts is not low, and he just barely caught him after killing nearly a hundred of us." The third person sighed.

When Yi Nan heard that martial arts were not low, the first thing Yi Nan thought of was Su Bei Yuan.

Could it be that something went wrong with Su Beiyuan?
Yi Nan forced herself to calm down before continuing to think about the problem.

Qin Qing looked at Yi Nan's dignified expression from the side, and also became dignified.

When the voices of those people gradually spread far away, Yi Nan dared to take any action.

"Go on?" Qin Qing asked in a low voice seeing that Yi Nan hadn't moved for a long time.

Yi Nan made a gesture to stop her action.

Qin Qing had doubts on his face, but he still listened to Yi Nan's words and didn't move.

Yi Nan picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it viciously in one direction in the darkness.

On the other side, a figure fell in response.

"Let's go." Yi Nan pulled Qin Qing up and ran deeper.

These people are really cunning, Yi Nan secretly thought in his heart, judging from the current situation, they can only run away.

Gradually, the physical strength of both of them was exhausted, but there was no shortage of pursuers behind them.

"What should I do?" Qin Qing ran while looking at the pursuers who were getting closer.

There was a hint of despair in her eyes for a moment, but Yi Nan easily caught it.

"It's okay, trust me." Yi Nan grabbed Qin Qing's hand and shook it tightly.

The expression on Qin Qing's face finally relaxed a little.

In the end, the two had to stop, and there was a cliff in front of them.

If they jumped down, the two of them would definitely die; if they didn't, they would be chased up by the chasers today.

After weighing it up, Yi Nan still chooses to jump down.

She looked at Qin Qing with determination written all over her face.

"Jump."
