In the Gobi Desert, Han Ya, who had already run far away, heard a sound behind her and immediately stopped.
She jerked her head back and found that Lu An was actually running towards her. She saw that Lu An's face was full of graveness and worry. She would never forget such a scene for the rest of her life.
This young man, for her sake, went down the mountain, for her sake, got injured for her sake, and now he was going to the dangerous Western region for her sake. She could not help but be moved.
If she had not already given her heart to Wei Tao, she might have even been moved by Lu An's actions and fell in love with this young man who was much younger than her.
Seeing Lu An striding in front of her, she panted slightly and said, "Senior Apprentice Sister, I will go with you to find Elder Wei. After you find him, I will leave. "
Han Ya looked at Lu An's tired but firm eyes, her heart tightened. She bit her lower lip and said, "It's too dangerous there, I can't harm you."
"It doesn't matter, the rebels won't kill anyone they see. I'm so young, anyone who sees me will think that I'm just a child fleeing from disaster, they won't make things difficult for me. " Lu An immediately said, "On the other hand, Senior Sister, you should find a place to change into plain clothes and cover your face. Otherwise, it'll cause a lot of trouble."
"… …"
Han Ya looked at Lu An who was giving advice, she did not know what to feel in her heart. She knew that her decision was likely to harm this young man, but she did not understand.
"Why?" Han Ya's voice was choked with sobs again as she asked, "I have nothing now, I have no value to you, why do you still want to help me?"
Lu An was stunned, he did not expect Han Ya to ask such a question. But looking at Han Ya's tangled eyes, Lu An smiled and did not hide anything, and directly said, "Because Senior Apprentice Sister is one of the few people who are good to me."
"… …"
In an instant, Han Ya burst into tears.
Big drops of tears fell down, just like this in front of Lu An, she did not hide her tears.
It turned out that being protected by someone was such a good feeling.
It turned out that there was such a kind of person in the world.
Lu An was stunned. He didn't know why Han Ya was crying again. He didn't know what to say to comfort her. He could only stand there awkwardly and watch Han Ya cry.
But this time, Han Ya quickly wiped away her tears and said to Lu An, "Then let's go together. I'll listen to you on the way."
Lu An was stunned. He didn't know why Han Ya would say something like that, but she was indeed emotionally unstable right now. It was a good thing that she could listen to him.
"Okay!" Lu An nodded and said, "Let's go!"
With that, Lu An set off on his journey while Han Ya followed closely behind him.
The reason why she said that was because Lu An had already become the second person she could completely entrust herself to other than her parents.

Several hours later, the sky gradually darkened.
In this endless Gobi Desert, the sky was more within reach than anywhere else. There was not a single cloud in the sky, and the stars were everywhere. It was extremely beautiful.
In this uninhabited Gobi Desert, a man and a woman were walking on the hard grass. In this place where there was no one within a radius of 50 kilometers, these two people seemed particularly lonely and lonely.
Lu An, who was walking in front, stopped. Han Ya also stopped. Lu An turned to look at Han Ya. After thinking for a while, he said, "Senior Sister, it's very late. Besides, we're tired after such a long journey. Let's rest here for the night."
Hearing Lu An's words, Han Ya nodded slightly. Indeed, whether it was the several hours of running or what had happened today, she felt physically and mentally exhausted. Now, she really wanted to have a good sleep.
Lu An looked around and found a big stone. He quickly dug a hole in the ground with his Fate Wheel. Then, he released a piece of metal to support the hole, forming a medium-sized space.
"Senior Sister, go in and sleep," Lu An looked at Han Ya and said softly.
Han Ya looked at the hole and then turned to Lu An and asked, "You're not going in?"
"It's the same if I sleep outside." Lu An smiled and said, "I'm a light sleeper. I can keep watch at night."
Looking at Lu An's smile, Han Ya wanted to say something, but Lu An spoke first, "Didn't we agree that Senior Sister will listen to me?"
"…"
Han Ya did not say anything in the end. She lowered her head and went into the hole. She took out a set of clothes from her Interspatial Ring and put it on. Then, she fell asleep.
Lu An was relieved. No matter what, Han Ya would listen to him, which saved him a lot of trouble. He looked around. In fact, in such an environment and at such a late hour, the rebel army would not choose to travel through the night. Especially in such an open area, if the rebel army really appeared, he would be able to find out in time.
Lu An looked around. After confirming that there was no movement, he also entered a state of meditation. Although meditation was not as good as sleep, it was much better than not sleeping. Moreover, if he meditated, he would be able to find out if something happened.
Just like that, time passed by slowly. Han Ya, who was lying in the hole, had fallen into a deep sleep. Lu An also gradually entered a state of meditation. There was not a single beast in the boundless Gobi Desert. It was as if only the two of them existed.
After an unknown period of time, just as Lu An was cultivating in meditation, he suddenly heard a slight sound of wind, and then he felt the ground tremble slightly.
Instantly, Lu An opened his eyes and immediately looked around. There was no one in the north, left, and right. In order to reassure himself, Lu An immediately got up and looked to the south behind the stone.
Then, Lu An's body shook and his eyes widened.
Under the moonlight, there were countless soldiers and horses rushing toward them. The army completely covered the horizon. There were more of them than the previous army.
Lu An looked ahead in shock. He did not expect the rebel army to really come in the middle of the night. What was worse was that there were too many of them. They covered the entire area. In other words, it was impossible for them to escape to the east or the west.
Should they turn back and run to the Central Border City?
Lu An frowned and looked at the hole next to his feet. Then, he squatted down and crawled into the hole.
After entering the hole, Lu An quickly released his Fate Wheel to form some soil above his head. Because he had never tried to release soil, he was not fast. It took him ten breaths to fill the hole above his head.
To prevent the hole from collapsing under the hooves of horses, Lu An released his Fate Wheel again to cover the soil above his head with a layer of metal. Lu An was still worried, so he covered the soil with a layer of Deep Ice. Finally, he was relieved.
He did not dare to cover the soil with Deep Ice at the beginning because he was afraid that the coldness in the Deep Ice would spread through the soil. He had to make sure that nothing would go wrong. However, the appearance of the Deep Ice made the hole cold.
Because of the sudden coldness, Han Ya woke up from her deep sleep. Seeing that Lu An had sealed the hole, she quickly sat up and asked, "What's wrong?"
"There are rebels." Seeing that Han Ya had woken up, Lu An said without hiding anything, "They will pass over our heads in a while. Let's keep quiet and wait for them to pass before we go out."
Then, Lu An realized that the temperature of the Deep Ice was hard for Han Ya to get used to. After thinking about it, he dug deeper into the hole and asked Han Ya to make a fire to keep her warm.
Lu An was not afraid of the cold, so he leaned against the hole and released the Scorching Sun and Nine Suns to sense the situation outside. After about an hour or so, the tremors became very obvious. This kind of tremor made people wonder if an earthquake had occurred.
The cave began to tremble. If it weren't for the fact that the cave was made of metal, it would have collapsed long ago. Han Ya looked at Lu An worriedly and Lu An looked very serious.
In this case, if they were discovered, they would definitely be killed.
Finally, the sound of hooves was getting closer and closer. The cavalrymen in the front flew over their heads!
Then, the sound of countless hooves trampling over their heads made the hole seem like it would collapse at any time. The sound of hooves continued for a quarter of an hour and did not stop. What made Lu An's heart heavy was that after the sound of hooves, there seemed to be the sound of footmen running.
How many people were there?
Lu An's heart was heavy. He and Han Ya did not dare to say a word in the hole. They could only wait patiently for these people to disappear over their heads.
However, what made Lu An's heart sink was that the sound of footsteps above their heads suddenly disappeared. These people had all stopped!
Then, Lu An heard an order spread far and wide like a wave.
"Rest and reorganize. We will march after half an hour!"
