The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1637 - 1724: Success Comes Without Effort

On that day, the Eighth Princess bravely leapt off the cliff, staking her life on this daring gamble. The People in Black, who were assassinating and besieging her, immediately descended into the valley to search for her whereabouts after she fell.

They needed to see her either alive or dead, for the Master behind the People in Black was not careless and could only be at peace once it was confirmed whether the Eighth Princess was alive or dead.

Later, the Eighth Princess’s guard, under the coordination of Qinghe, also arrived at the valley to search for her, but to no avail.

Yet, despite the lack of results, neither of the two groups ever gave up.

Just when the search seemed to make no progress, Qinghe made another decision.

He borrowed troops from the City Master of Nanling City to seal off the mountains and conduct a carpet search, gradually advancing into the deep mountains.

This move did not find the Eighth Princess, who was recovering from her injuries in a village, but it made the People in Black hesitate, fearing rash actions. Their Master, upon hearing the news, pondered for a moment and ordered these People in Black to retreat. Yet before leaving, the People in Black, following the Master’s command, left a backup plan in Nanling...

The mountains were high and the waters long, and after several days of trekking, the Eighth Princess had become like a clay figure.

In such a state of disarray, she looked worse than a beggar in the city. If someone who knew her were to see her, merely looking at her current appearance, it would be hard to believe that this was once the noble and unparalleled Princess; truly, she had fallen into such misery.

In recent days, when hungry, she ate the unripe wild fruits of the mountains; when thirsty, she scooped a handful of sweet mountain stream water. At times, when unlucky and there was no water source along the way, she had no choice but to collect the morning dew fallen on flower leaves to quench her thirst before dawn.

In just a few days, she had lost a lot of weight, but her vitality was strong, stubbornly wanting to return to the world, to wash away all the humiliation and resentment she had suffered!

It was in this situation that she encountered the rescue team.

Her long hair was dry, having lost its original luster in the days of hardship. Her skin became sallow and dull, her clothes were tattered, and her body bore many long blood marks scratched by branches and thorns in the forest. Though her overall demeanor was much grimmer than before, her commanding presence remained unchanged.

"Who is there!"

The soldiers responsible for the rescue were under the command of the City Master of Nanling. Although the Eighth Princess had once lived in Nanling for a while, with her status, ordinary people couldn’t meet her easily. Therefore, these soldiers did not recognize the Eighth Princess.

The Eighth Princess revealed her identity: "I am the Eighth Princess!"

The soldiers were stunned, thinking that they had searched high and low only to find her so easily?

Qinghe Zhengjun borrowed soldiers from the City Master, knowing that matters concerning the Princess were urgent. Therefore, he ordered these men to follow Zhengjun’s command in the rescue. But after searching for so long to no avail, many believed, though not spoken aloud, that the Eighth Princess’s chances were slim.

This mountain was rife with beasts, and recently, hibernating wild bears had descended the mountains after spring awakening to forage.

Spring was the season of revival for all life, and the poisonous snakes and wild animals in the mountains had caused many incidents of injury, and even these soldiers assisting the rescue had faced challenges a few times.

Back when the Eighth Princess jumped into the valley and was rescued by that young man, a pool of blood was left on the spot. Some speculated that this Eighth Princess was likely dismembered and eaten by the wild animals in the mountains. In short, if she were dead, it would be expected; if alive, that would be a miracle!
