Chapter 22: Breaking Away from the Group

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Hearing the commotion, Qin Yiling turned around in annoyance. She glared icily at the bratty child and his family. When she saw that there were more and more people following behind her, Qin Yiling furrowed her eyebrows unhappily.

No! If this went on, wouldn’t they become obvious targets?

She had to break away from the people behind her. Otherwise, it would be too easy for the gang of bandits to spot her.

She had no intention of being a heroine for everyone. It was obvious that there were people in the group who had ulterior motives. If she really rushed up to defend the group, she would definitely be the one suffering most in the end.

Qin Yiling took the grandmother-grandson pair along and darted through the mountain forest. Noticing that Aunt Qian was almost out of energy, she immediately started surveying their surroundings as she ran.

She had to find a place for them to hide, or the people behind them would catch up very soon.

What idiots! Those people clearly weren’t using their brains. If so many of them got together, it wouldn’t help in ensuring their safety at all. In fact, they were giving the bandits a chance to catch all of them in one fell swoop.

With her abilities, she could easily shake off the people behind, and even those bandits too. However, Aunt Qian and Tiger Head clearly wouldn’t be able to keep up with her pace.

All of a sudden, Qin Yiling stopped in her tracks and looked down the steep slope on her left. Then, she hurriedly started giving instructions.


“Aunt Qian, we need to shake off the people behind us to avoid being caught by the bandits. Carry Tiger Head and go down this slope. Hide in the bushes below. Don’t make any noise no matter what you hear. I’ll go lure the others away. You can come out again when everyone is gone. You will have to carry on with the rest of the journey yourselves. Take this and take care. “

Qin Yiling took out the piece of compressed biscuit in her pocket and stuffed it into Auntie Qian’s hand before urging them to hurry down the slope.

“Qin, I—”

How could Old Granny Qian bear to let a young lady like her take the risk? If anything, she should be the one to lure those people away. After all, she had already lived long enough.

However, Qin Yiling didn’t give her a chance to speak at all.

“Quick, aunt. The people behind are catching up. You have to think for Tiger Head. Don’t worry, I’m very skilled. Those people won’t be able to catch up to me. Instead, if you came along, I would still have to take care of you guys.”

Hearing that, Grandma Qian immediately came around. Qin was right.


She quickly held on to her grandson’s hand and they slid down the steep slope. Fortunately,there happened to be a bush at the bottom of the slope and it could hide them.

Seeing that, Qin Yiling was relieved. She looked behind her and seemed to see a few figures. Immediately, she turned around and ran straight, disappearing into the woods in no time.

An hour later, Qin Yiling left the mountain.

She had been walking in the direction of An Le Town but the terrain of the mountains had too many twists and turns, so she didn’t even know if she was on the right track. Fortunately, she was lucky and quickly managed to find a path down the mountains.

As soon as she got out of the mountains, she vaguely spotted a house in the distance. There even seemed to be smoke billowing out from its roof.

“Great, I’ve finally reached a place where people actually live.”

She was about to walk forward when she heard a clattering sound behind her. Turning around, she saw a middle-aged man riding an ox cart towards her

Qin Yiling didn’t walk any further. She waited until the cart was near, then quickly waved her hands.

“Hello, Sir. May I ask how I can get to the Famous Mountain Village of An Le Town?”

When the man on the ox cart heard this, he smiled brightly and gestured ahead with his chin..
