She didn't know when it started.
Ji Yunshu liked to rest her head on Jing Rong's lap and rest with her eyes closed. She liked to feel his slender fingers caressing her hair, and she liked to smell his unique scent. That feeling made her feel very at ease.
That kind of love had probably reached the point of greed.
Or perhaps … it was beyond cure!
As long as Jing Rong looked at her, the corners of his mouth would involuntarily overflow with a smile.
Only Ji Yunshu alone could ignite the fire hidden under the iceberg.
He was willing to take off his hard and cold armor just to be able to hold her in his arms.
To each other, they were both extremely greedy people!
Greedy for this love that they had gone through so many difficulties to obtain.
At this moment, the cold wind blew through the carriage curtains, like shards of knives rolling in.
Jing Rong was worried that Ji Yunshu would catch a cold, so he fetched a piece of clothing to cover her.
Then, he ordered the guards outside, "Slow down."
"Yes!"
The carriage's journey quickly slowed down.
Ji Yunshu didn't know how long she slept. When she woke up, she was still using Jing Rong's lap as a pillow.
She looked up at him and found that he was also looking at her.
"You're awake?"
She smiled and raised her hand to caress Jing Rong's cold cheek.
The coldness spread wantonly in her palm.
She asked, "How long did I sleep?"
"Not long. If you're tired, you can sleep a little longer."
"I'm not tired, but I want to lie down like this."
"Okay!"
Jing Rong held her hand that was caressing his face and kissed it.
Others were envious.
Suddenly —
"Hyah!"
The sound of hurried hooves came from behind.
It was very messy.
Jing Rong's eyes suddenly narrowed.
Ji Yunshu also quickly sat up.
The two of them immediately opened the carriage curtains and looked behind.
A group of horses appeared behind them. There were about a dozen of them, and they were galloping forward at full speed.
They were in a hurry.
Soon, those people passed through Jing Rong's carriages and passed by him.
"Hyah!"
The sound of hooves became louder and louder.
Ji Yunshu's heart tightened.
When those people passed in front of them, Jing Rong and Ji Yunshu saw a big sack tied to two of the horses.
Looking at the shape of the sack, it seemed that … there were people inside!
Before they could see clearly, the group of people overtook them.
It kicked up a cloud of dust!
Jing Rong and Ji Yunshu looked at each other.
Both of their expressions darkened slightly.
But no one said anything.
Not long after, it began to rain heavily in the mountains.
Because of this, the carriages and horses moved faster.
Bai Yin rode on horseback and saw a run-down temple in the distance.
When he got closer, he realized —
More than ten horses were tied outside the ruined temple.
It was the horse of the group from earlier today!
He immediately asked Jing Rong, who was in the carriage, "There's a run-down temple in front of us. We can go there to take shelter from the rain. However, the group from earlier seems to be inside as well."
When Jing Rong heard this, he lifted the curtain and looked towards the front.
As expected!
His expression tightened, and he thought for a moment before saying, "It's already so late. It's probably inappropriate to continue on our way. Let's stop there."
"What if …"
"Just be careful!"
"Alright!" Bai Yin instructed the guards, "We'll stop in front and rest."
The guard obeyed the order!
Everyone braved the rain and stopped in front.
When the carriage came to a stop, Jing Rong escorted Ji Yunshu down from the horse and hurriedly entered the ruined temple.
Inside the ruined temple, the group of people that passed by their carriage earlier today were indeed sitting.
They occupied half of the ruined temple and lit three fires.
When they saw people enter, they were extremely vigilant. Their eyebrows were vertical and their eyes were fierce. Then, they placed their hands on the hilts of their swords.
They were ready to draw their swords at any time!
Jing Rong's group didn't carry any weapons and looked harmless.
To them, they posed no threat at all.
Therefore, one of the men, who seemed to be the leader, sized them up and signaled with his eyes for his men to put down their swords.
Then, he whispered something to them.
Only then did they put down their swords.
Although Jing Rong had seen their actions the moment he entered, he didn't point it out and pretended that he didn't see it.
He only carefully escorted Ji Yunshu into the temple to avoid the rain.
Bai Yin and a few guards came in after tying up the horses.
All of them were drenched in sweat.
They quickly used the wood in the ruined temple to make two fires.
From beginning to end, those people didn't make a sound. They just watched Jing Rong's group in silence.
Although each of them was vigilant.
But the two groups minded their own business!
Each of them took shelter from the rain and rested in their own territory.
However, a tense atmosphere had unknowingly gathered in the air.
Ji Yunshu was drenched in the rain. The rainwater seeped through her clothes and stuck to her skin. She shivered from the cold.
Jing Rong took off his clothes and wrapped them around her body.
He pulled her closer to the fire.
Then, he held her hand tightly.
He gently rubbed it.
He was really worried that Ji Yunshu would catch a cold. After all, he knew this woman's body better than anyone else. Either she didn't fall sick, or she would fall sick for several days.
Ji Yunshu gradually felt better. Her clothes were also dry.
Her palms also had a trace of warmth.
Jing Rong was relieved when she stopped shivering.
He boiled some hot water for her to drink.
After Ji Yunshu's body warmed up, she looked at the group of people in front of her.
She frowned and carefully probed them.
Her intuition told her that those people were definitely not good people.
Then, her gaze fell on the two sacks leaning against the corner.
The people inside the sacks were motionless.
She didn't know if they were dead or alive.
Her heart was filled with curiosity.
Jing Rong noticed her gaze and whispered in her ear, "They must have a powerful background. Don't be curious."
He reminded her.
Ji Yunshu was always surprised that he could see through her thoughts.
But she also understood Jing Rong's meaning. She nodded and withdrew her gaze.
As the saying goes, it's better to have one less thing to worry about.
Jing Rong picked up a wooden stick and habitually flicked it a few times on the fire.
He lowered his voice and said to the guard beside him, "Don't let your guard down.
Don't let your guard down. Be careful.
"Yes!"
The guard understood.
None of them dared to rest.
Bai Yin was the same. From the moment he came in, he had been on guard.
It was probably a habit that had been formed over the years.
"Neigh!"
Suddenly, the neighing of horses came from outside the dilapidated temple.
It was accompanied by the sound of rain.
It was deafening.
It sounded like the horses were frightened.
At that moment, the group of people in front of them immediately gripped their swords and stood up.
They vigilantly looked outside the dilapidated temple.
But Jing Rong and the others remained seated.
They turned a deaf ear to it.
Then, they heard the neighing of horses and the rumbling of carriages coming from outside.
It was approaching from afar!
Everyone held their breaths, wondering who it was.
They saw a thin and frail figure braving the heavy rain and hurriedly running into the temple.
Only when the person came into the light did they see his appearance clearly.
