"Alright." Ran Lei thought for a moment before nodding. Having a Divine Doctor accompany them meant that if the child or Ayang felt unwell, there would be someone to take care of it, wouldn’t it?

Gu Qingheng naturally didn’t know Ran Lei’s true thoughts. Even if he did, it didn’t matter. He felt the trip wasn’t in vain; not only did he understand the situation of the Flame Sect in Miaojiang, but he also had hopes of finding the Cloud King, which couldn’t help but make him happy.

Although the Cloud King might compete with the Crown Prince for that position, he was a person worthy of respect. Just as Xinxin said, at least he had righteousness in his heart and wouldn’t resort to unscrupulous means to achieve his goals. Such a person being the Crown Prince’s rival could serve as a form of motivation for him.

Of course, whether it’s motivating or not is another story. He is a Prince of Daxuan, and under no circumstances should he fall into the hands of an evil cult, nor become a pawn for them to threaten the Imperial Court.

In the end, they didn’t eat roasted rabbit after all; after all, starting a fire would produce smoke, and if there were Flame Sect people around, it would be troublesome.

"The Flame Sect wouldn’t hide people too deep." Ran Lei took out a leather map from his chest, surprisingly, it was a map of Miaojiang, "I have marked the possible locations where they might hide people. We’ve checked these places, no one there, only a few locations left, if nothing unexpected happens, it should be..."

"Someone’s coming." Ming Guang suddenly said.

Gu Qingheng also heard footsteps in that instant. Although they were still far away, his inner strength was almost as strong as Ming Guang’s now. Therefore, not long after Ming Guang noticed, he naturally noticed too.

However, at this moment, the Jin Bao on Ran Lei’s back suddenly whimpered, either hungry or needing a bathroom, and pouted as if about to cry.

Unexpectedly, Dao Xuzi reached out and unknown what he stuffed into the little one’s mouth. The little one blinked, and in the next second, surprisingly fell asleep.

"Elder, you..."

"What are you so nervous about?" Dao Xuzi gave Ayang a side-eye, "I just gave him an energy boost, so he won’t be hungry even if he doesn’t eat for two days, and let him sleep for a while, understand? My medicine pill is invaluable, you know."

"I apologize, Elder." Ayang looked at the brother with very steady breathing and knew he was too anxious earlier, quickly apologized.

"Hmph!" Dao Xuzi snorted arrogantly, "Not as cute as Xinxin."

Ayang wanted to ask who this Xinxin was, but at this time, Gu Qingheng turned back and made a silencing gesture, so Ayang closed his mouth and even lowered his body closer to the ground.

Soon, footsteps could be heard, then two people with half black masks and black cloaks appeared on the hill opposite, they were indeed followers of the Flame Sect, holding weapons in their hands. Of course, just these two were not surprising, but behind them followed two others, dressed in silver armor, holding weapons as well, but appeared not to be normal people.

Herbalist! 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Gu Qingheng felt a thrill in his heart. Since there were followers of the Flame Sect and herbalists, it indicated there was a high chance Qi Jingyun was held here, but at the same time, he was worried. With herbalists present, the rescue mission would be much more difficult.

"Looks like it’s here." Ran Lei exhaled a breath, "However, we’re unable to rescue anyone. Those Medicinal Soldiers are unbeatable, so the only option is to go and notify the people of Daxuan."
