Following the marks left behind by Su Jinyue, Zhan Yihan soon arrived at the cape gooseberry tree. At this moment, he was becoming more worried and anxious.?This is already in the depths of the mountain forest. What if Jinyue has run into a wild beast?

Zhan Yihan shook his head. He didn’t dare to think any deeper. He studied the traces on the ground carefully and was stunned. “It’s the footprints of a wild boar. Jinyue is really in danger.”

Following the footprints of the wild boar, Zhan Yihan hastily ran forward.?I hope I can save Jinyue in time.

Seeing the footprints of the wild boar disappear, Zhan Yihan’s face immediately turned ashen. There was a cliff up ahead, and based on the traces on the ground, it was obvious that someone had rolled off the cliff. Having climbed up from the base of the mountain, he knew exactly how high this mountain was. If one was to fall from such a high cliff, the possibility of survival was nearly zero.

It felt like a rock was sitting on his heart. He felt breathless, stuffy and his heart ached.

Staring at the cliff in front of him in anguish, Zhan Yihan’s face was full of heartbreak as he said, “Jinyue, I came too late!” If he had come back earlier, or gone to look for Jinyue as soon as he arrived, he might have been able to save her. Yet now, he did not even get to have a final look at her.

The past replayed in his head like a movie, with the scenes flashing through his mind. Everything seemed to have just happened yesterday. The smart and beautiful girl in his memories, the girl whom he had always doted on like a sister… He would never see her again.

“Jinyue!” Zhan Yihan’s eyes were red as he roared in sorrow.

When she heard the voice coming from the cliff above, Su Jinyue almost couldn’t believe her ears.?Why does it sound like Yihan’s voice? Am I having auditory hallucinations?

Just as Su Jinyue wanted to listen more carefully, Zhan Yihan’s roar rang out again.

The roar reverberated in the mountain for a long time, filled with deep grief, just like that moment when he was at the execution ground in her past life. He had also cried out her name at the top of his lungs.

Regaining her composure, Su Jinyue hurriedly shouted, “Big Brother Yihan, I’m here. I’m fine!”

When Zhan Yihan heard Su Jinyue’s voice, he was taken aback for a moment. He then quickly looked around, but there was no one.?Am I hearing things?

“Big Brother Yihan, I’m under the cliff!” Su Jinyue shouted again.

Zhan Yihan hurried forward and looked down, when he was at the edge of the cliff. A pleasantly surprised expression crossed his handsome face as he exclaimed, “Jinyue!”

As the disciple of a hidden sect and an ancient martial arts cultivator, at the intermediate stage of the Yellow rank, the darkness of the night was naturally unable to affect his vision.

When she saw that it was really Zhan Yihan, a wave of relief washed over her and her eyes grew moist. “Brother Yihan!”

Every time she was in danger, he would always appear beside her. He was like her guardian angel. In the past, she had always regarded him as an older brother, until the very last time she saw him on the execution grounds.

It was only then did she realize that she had already unknowingly placed him in her heart. Fortunately, she had a chance to have a do-over. In this life, she would definitely cherish him and love him.

Zhan Yihan carefully observed the tree, which Su Jinyue was lying on, on her stomach. Seeing that the branch on which she was lying on was relatively thick, he felt a lot more relieved and said, “Don’t move. I’ll find a way to come down and save you.”

Fortunately, Jinyue was fine. However, for a girl to be in such a dangerous place, she would surely still be frightened. He had to quickly rescue her.

“Okay!” Su Jinyue responded happily. She did not expect them to meet like this in this life.

Zhan Yihan scanned the surroundings but did not find any vines or something similar around. If he went to other places to search, he would be worried about Jinyue. Her current situation was as good as her life hanging by a thread. How could he possibly be at ease and leave?

Carefully studying the rocks on the cliff wall, he noticed that they were uneven, but there were quite a few places where he could put his feet. It should not be a problem for him to climb down. The question was how to get Jinyue back up after he climbed down. Moreover, he did not know if the tree could bear both their weights.

After pondering for a moment, Zhan Yihan made a decision. “I am coming down now.” Even if he were to lie on the cliff all night, at least he would be by her side. If he was with her, she would not be afraid.

“I’m fine for now. Why don’t you go back and get some rope to save me,” Su Jinyue said. She had faith in Yihan’s skill, but this was after all the edge of a cliff. It was better to be safe than sorry.

“I’ll come down first.” How could he rest at ease leaving her here alone. As long as that tree could temporarily bear both their weights, even if for only half a minute, it was sufficient. As long as he could carry her on his back, he would be able to bring her back up the cliff safely.

He has been outside the village for more than three years. Aside from those days he spent in the Sect, he had also experienced countless life and death situations and learned a lot of things.

“Be careful!” Su Jinyue looked worriedly at Zhan Yihan, who was scaling down the cliff face.

“It’s fine.” Every step Zhan Yihan took was very steady and it took less than three minutes for him to reach Su Jinyue’s side.

“Don’t move and just wait for me.” Right now, he had to calculate the weight that the tree could bear. With even the slightest deviation, he and Jinyue would be thrown into danger.

“Okay!” Su Jinyue smiled and nodded.?It’s really great to have him around!

Zhan Yihan smiled back at her and began to study the tree on the cliff. Based on the thickness of the tree and the amount of contact area between the tree and the cliff, he calculated the maximum weight it could bear. Mastering one more skill meant one more chance of safety. Thus, over the past three years, he squeezed out as much time as he possibly could, to learn more so that he could master more survival skills.

After calculating the weight that the tree could bear, Zhan Yihan heaved a sigh of relief and stepped onto the tree trunk. He asked, “Jinyue, are you scared?”

“I’m not scared!” She felt reassured with him around.

Zhan Yihan smiled in admiration and said, “Now, give me your hand. Be careful. Sit up slowly and don’t look down.” Even if the tree could bear both their weights, they could not afford to take the deep abyss underneath them lightly.

“Okay!” Taking a deep breath, Su Jinyue sat up slowly as per Zhan Yihan’s instructions and stretched out one hand to Zhan Yihan. She trusted him one hundred percent.

The moment Zhan Yihan’s hand held onto Su Jinyue’s hand, he exerted a slight force to pull Su Jinyue towards him.

The next moment, Su Jinyue landed into a warm and strong embrace.

Zhan Yihan gently patted Su Jinyue on the back and comforted her in a soft voice. “Don’t be scared. I’ll carry you up in a bit. It’ll be fine.” For a girl to stay in such a dangerous place for such a long time, how could she not be frightened?

“I trust you!” Su Jinyue flashed him a brilliant smile that was as beautiful and dazzling as a hundred flowers blooming at the same time. In this life, this man was hers.
