Nie Fan remained calm and looked towards Ning Xue.

Ning Xue naturally understood what Nie Fan meant, shook her head slightly, and told Nie Fan that she had not revealed his identity as a cultivator.

Nie Fan looked at Guo Hanxiang, and after a closer look with his spiritual consciousness, there was something strange in his eyes. Guo Hanxiang actually had a touch of Qi in his body, but there were too many impurities in his body, and he had not even broken through to the Yuan level.

Also an ancient martial arts practitioner?

Nie Fan looked at Guo Hanxiang with subtle eyes, thoughtfully, and then said, "I will not accept a disciple, but you can stay with me these days."

Guo Hanxiang was a little disappointed, but he was also excited to be with Nie Fan and said quickly, "Yes... thank you very much."

Zhao Hecheng and Hao Yanmei frowned slightly, looking between Ning Xue, Guo Hanxiang, and Nie Fan.

They are ordinary people and cannot believe Guo Hanxiang's words. Naturally, they are baffled by everything that is happening now and feel conflicted in their hearts.

Ning Xue felt regretful when she saw that the two missed the opportunity. She saw that Nie Fan had closed her eyes, pursed her lips, turned to look at the three of them, and said softly, "Let's eat."

"Okay, I've been hungry for a long time." Hao Yanmei is a very nervous person. After hearing this, she turned around and walked towards the two pots.

Zhao Hecheng thought more, looked deeply at Nie Fan, turned around and followed him.

Just as Guo Hanxiang was about to stand up, Nie Fan said: "You stay."

Guo Hanxiang was startled and felt his stomach growling, but he nodded and said, "Yes."

Ning Xue glanced at the two of them, then turned and walked towards the place where the fire was burning.

Nie Fan lay on the ground, looked at Guo Hanxiang and said, "Carry me outside."

"good."

Guo Hanxiang took Nie Fan's arms, carried him on his back, and walked outside.

Ning Xue watched Guo Hanxiang carry Nie Fan out of the cave, and she didn't feel anything was wrong in her heart, and watched them go out of the cave.

The other two people looked weird. Why were they carrying such a serious injury?

"Go there, the highest place." Nie Fan said on Guo Hanxiang's back, pointing to a small mountain peak not far away.

"Okay." Guo Hanxiang carried Nie Fan on his back and walked towards the small mountain peak with some difficulty.

Jiutian hovered above the two of them, with bright eyes and a soft cry from time to time.

"Follow me." After Guo Hanxiang put Nie Fan down, Nie Fan sat cross-legged on the mountain peak and took a deep breath.

"Yes." Guo Hanxiang was excited, knowing that Nie Fan was going to teach him how to practice. He immediately crossed his legs and imitated Nie Fan, with his five hearts in the sky, his expression solemn, and his eyes closed to take a breath.

"Follow my breathing." Nie Fan calmed down and began to meditate, healing his injuries while condensing the true energy in his body.

Upon hearing this, Guo Hanxiang opened his eyes and looked at Nie Fan's nose. While watching, he grasped the silent rhythm.

The cold wind blew between the mountain peaks, and the chill hit them. The two of them meditated with their eyes closed, and gradually entered a state of selflessness.

The two sat on the mountain to practice. The three people in the cave also finished eating quickly. Ning Xue and Hao Yanmei took the tableware to the stream to wash themselves.

Squatting beside the stream, Hao Yanmei was washing the pot while looking at Ning Xue from the corner of her eye. She turned around and hesitated for a moment, then said: "Ning Xue, now that Nie Fan has woken up, please consider what He Cheng said before."

Ning Xue was stunned, but she didn't expect Hao Yanmei to bring up the old matter again. Zhao Hecheng said that he would just leave Nie Fan here alone, and they would go back first and then find someone to rescue him.

It stands to reason that Nie Fan is a cultivator, and his numerous methods are beyond their comprehension. Even though his serious injuries should be more serious than the four of them combined, it is indeed a good suggestion to leave now and find someone else.

But Ning Xue shook her head and said softly: "I want to wait until he recovers from his injury."

"Why?" Hao Yanmei asked with a puzzled look.

Neither she nor Zhao Hecheng had ever been in contact with another world, and they had no faith in ghosts, foxes, monsters, and ancient martial arts. Naturally, she didn't know how much favor Ning Xue had received from Nie Fan.

Ning Xue was silent. She knew that there was no way she could make Zhao Hecheng and Hao Yanmei believe her words. The two of them had no sense of security in the deep mountains and wild mountains and were eager to go back.

"Yanmei," Ning Xue looked at Hao Yanmei and said with a slightly solemn expression: "I know you and Hecheng are anxious to go back, but I have to wait until his injury is completely healed before I can leave. There is no discussion on this matter."

Hao Yanmei was stunned, looking at Ning Xue's serious face, not knowing what to say, her lips moved but she made no sound.

Seeing that she was silent, Ning Xue rinsed the pots and bowls in her hands with water, stood up, and walked towards the cave.

Hao Yanmei looked at her back and frowned, her eyes full of incomprehensible expression.

Zhao Hecheng was sitting in the deserted cave, his expression was deserted, but his brows were wrinkled and relaxed from time to time, and he was extremely troubled in his heart.

What he wants most now is to leave here immediately and return to the city, but now the key lies with Ning Xue. Without Ning Xue's care, they can't get out of this mountain at all!

"Ning Xue?" Zhao Hecheng murmured to himself, his eyes flashing coldly.

"Ah..." Ning Xue had just approached the entrance of the cave when suddenly Hao Yanmei's sudden stop shout came from behind.

Ning Xue's expression changed when she heard this, and she quickly put down the things in her hands and ran towards the stream.

There will be wild beasts here at any time, not to mention cannibalism, but anyone with a bit of a poisonous surname will be a big trouble here!

Zhao Hecheng's expression in the cave also changed slightly, and he immediately ran out and followed Ning Xue towards the stream.

"Where are the people?" Zhao Hecheng arrived first, his face alert, and he looked around the creek. However, he found no trace of Hao Yanmei, only clean pots, bowls and chopsticks left by the river.

Ning Xue's pretty face was tense and her brows were furrowed. She had a bad feeling in her heart.

Zhao Hecheng pushed up his glasses. There was not a trace of blood around. He calmly observed along the stream. After a long time, he whispered to Ning Xue, "Let's search separately. Don't go too far. If anything happens, shout out."

Ning Xue nodded and said in a low voice: "Take the pots and bowls."

Zhao Hecheng was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing, picked up pots and basins from the ground, and walked downstream.

Ning Xue took the chopsticks and bowl and walked upstream. Even if she didn't have time to shout, the pot and bowl would still make a sound when they hit the ground.

The two walked slowly along the stream, cautiously and without making any sound. They walked for half an hour without finding any trace of Hao Yanmei. They didn't even know what kind of animal had taken Hao Yanmei away.

Neither of them walked too far, so they returned quickly and met at the same place. Both of them looked ugly. After so long, there was no movement at all, Hao Yanmei must be in bad luck!

The two looked at each other, and both saw solemnity and vigilance in each other's eyes. Zhao Hecheng took a breath, looked at Ning Xue and said with a stern face, "Let's go back first and discuss it in the long term."

Ning Xue was not the kind of shy little girl. She nodded after hearing this, and the two of them turned around and walked towards the cave.

Both of them were silent. Hao Yanmei came with them, and now she suddenly disappeared. Everyone felt bad.

"Um?"

As soon as they entered the cave entrance, their expressions changed and they immediately rushed in.

The cave was empty, their backpacks, blankets, pots and bowls, and even glow sticks were gone!

"There is someone!" The two of them said almost at the same time, their eyes shining brightly.
