The figure moved as fast as lightning and as fierce as a dragon, lifting the tree that was pressing down on Marquis Xuanping and hurling it away!

Marquis Xuanping had long been prepared for death, wondering if this light, floating feeling was what dying felt like.

But then, what happened to the tree? What about the rushing mudslide?

He heard the noises, but why was he not crushed to death?

As Marquis Xuanping wondered, he felt a powerful aura coming toward him. Even at his age, he had never admitted anyone was stronger than him. The intensity of this aura indicated the opponent's profound skills.

Moreover, this aura felt somewhat familiar.

But thinking about it, it couldn't be.

Before Marquis Xuanping could figure out what was happening——whether it was reality or an after-death illusion——he was lifted off the ground!

Marquis Xuanping who was completely caught off guard: "..."

Xiao Heng's heart was almost in his throat, but then he witnessed this hair-raising scene and heaved a sigh of relief: "Long Yi!"

As soon as Long Yi carried Marquis Xuanping away, the mudslide surged, almost engulfing the entire village in the blink of an eye.

The mudslide chased behind Long Yi. Long Yi's qinggong skills were exceptional. Whenever he was about to be engulfed, he would tiptoe on trees and fly away, leaving the trees to be swallowed up.

He then landed on a roof and soared again, the roof disappearing beneath the mud.

This was simply a confrontation with the King of the Underworld, Yama.

Xiao Heng couldn't see them anymore, but he believed in Long Yi's skills to outpace the mudslide.

The mudslide not only swallowed the village but also turned the official road where Xiao Heng was into its prey.

It was like an awakened ancient beast, opening its massive jaws behind Xiao Heng.

Xiao Heng held the child in his arms tightly, gripping the reins.

Along the way, rocks kept falling, frightening the horses nearby into running around in panic, but Marquis Xuanping's steed remained unfazed.

It was the king of warhorses that emerged from the tumult of clashing spears and swords. It remained calm in the face of danger, well-trained, agile and nimble, precisely avoiding every single rock.

It didn’t need Xiao Heng to use a whip to urge it on; driven by its innate instinct to avoid natural disasters, it had already accelerated to its utmost speed.

The mudslide pursued relentlessly, seemingly about to swallow them whole. Its eyes sharp as knives, and with a powerful kick from its hind legs, it suddenly soared into the air!

Xiao Heng looked down at the broken bridge beneath them and the surging water, and his heart once again rose to his throat.

If they failed to make it——

They made it!

The mudslide roared into the raging river!

Xiao Heng looked back, staring at the mudslide that almost caught up with them. He was drenched in cold sweat.

The horse carried Xiao Heng back through the rain.

On the other side, Marquis Xuanping and Long Yi faced even greater danger than Xiao Heng. The village was lower in elevation and directly in the path of the mudslide. They couldn't reach the official road and could only run towards the mountains on the other side of the village.

Liu Quan was currently on one of those peaks.

Xiao Heng had originally left him on the mountaintop, telling him to stay put, but after regaining his strength, Liu Quan, worried about Xiao Heng, descended to find him.

He had barely reached the foot of the mountain when he heard the sound of a landslide and immediately turned to run back uphill.

However, as he reached halfway, the mudslide surged.

Just as he was about to be swept away and buried, a whip lashed out, firmly wrapping around Liu Quan's waist.

Looking up, Liu Quan's eyes widened.

It was Gu Jiao!

With one hand clinging to a rope and the other using the whip to secure Liu Quan, Gu Jiao signaled to the person above, "Pull us up!"

Gu Chengfeng swiftly pulled the rope, lifting Gu Jiao and Liu Quan to the mountaintop!

Seeing Liu Quan safely pulled up by her, Gu Jiao had a satisfied expression in her eyes.

She finally experienced the feeling of when Gu Chengfeng had saved Tang Yueshan in Yuegu City with a whip back then. She found it quite amusing when she learned about it at that time.

Liu Quan, who was hanging upside down from a tree branch: Uh, can you pull me up the right way next time?

Gu Jiao had only recently started learning how to use a whip and was still a bit clumsy with it. Liu Quan was pulled up by her upside down, and his head was feeling congested.

Gu Chengfeng had a dark face.

I said I would go down, you should’ve just let me! You didn't have to go by yourself!

Of course, he understood that Gu Jiao wasn't just doing it for fun. After all, going down was risky due to the potential danger of being swallowed by the mudslide. She was always like this, taking on all the dangerous tasks herself.

She hadn't even planned to bring him along this time; he had just happened to follow her out.

"Who do you think you are looking down upon, you brat?" Gu Chengfeng snorted dismissively, "Give me back my whip."

"No." Gu Jiao decisively claimed the whip as her own.

Gu Chengfeng: "..."

Isn't a red-tasseled spear enough for you? Now you're stealing my whip to hit me!

Gu Chengfeng secretly glared at her, I’ll get it back when we return!

Although this place was sufficiently high in altitude, there was no guarantee that a second wave of mudslides wouldn't come rushing by, so they needed to leave as soon as possible.

Gu Chengfeng grabbed one person in each hand and displayed his qinggong skills, swiftly heading toward the mountain peak ahead.

Wait a minute, something wasn’t right here?

Struggling, Gu Chengfeng gritted his teeth, "What have you been eating lately, girl? Why are you so heavy!"

Playing with her newly acquired whip, Gu Jiao replied, "I haven't. If you can't do it, just say so."

There was no such thing as 'can't' for a man!

Gu Chengfeng exerted all his strength, "Just—admit—that—you—have—gotten—heavier—"

This—was—impossible—I—can't—carry—you—both!

Just as the three people were about to fall, Long Yi swooped in, snatching Gu Jiao from Gu Chengfeng's hands.

Gu Jiao who was now carried under someone’s armpit: "..."

Weren't Long Yi going to rescue Marquis Xuanping? Why was he carrying her under his armpit again?

It was precisely to avoid being carried by him that she reluctantly agreed to bring Gu Chengfeng along!

Long Yi was carrying another person under the other armpit.

Marquis Xuanping glanced sideways, took a closer look, and waved to Gu Jiao, "Hey—Ow——"

Gu Jiao also waved back, "Hey—Ow—"

The incomplete greeting was interrupted as both of them were suddenly hit by the wind and rain, turning their mouths into that of the sorrowful frogs unable to close them.

Gu Chengfeng was left far behind, utterly bewildered!

Unbelievable! How could he run so fast while carrying two people! Was he the wind’s incarnation or something?

A man like the wind!

Long Yi darted through the woods, covering a considerable distance. By the time he arrived at the nearest post station with Gu Jiao and Marquis Xuanping, Xiao Heng had already changed clothes inside.

Marquis Xuanping immediately noticed Princess Xinyang instructing servants to boil water and make medicine in the corridor.

He hesitated for a moment.

But then he looked at Long Yi and seemed to feel relieved.

Yu Jin came out from a nearby room carrying a basin of hot water, "Princess, I've bathed the child. Since there are no suitable clothes, I've wrapped him in adult clothes."

"Mm." Princess Xinyang nodded.

"Lord Marquis?" Yu Jin went to pour water. When she turned her head, she noticed Marquis Xuanping at the door.

Princess Xinyang also glanced at him.

Marquis Xuanping looked quite disheveled, not realizing it himself, thinking he still looked dashing and handsome.

He raised an eyebrow and casually smiled, "Qin Fengwen?"

Princess Xinyang looked at his uneven eyebrows and blinked, vaguely acknowledging him, "Yes, where are JiaoJiao and the others?"

Gu Jiao walked out from behind Marquis Xuanping, spitting out some rainwater without expression.

Soon after, Gu Chengfeng and Liu Quan also arrived.

Princess Xinyang calmly said, "Everyone, go change your clothes."

As expected of a mother, Princess Xinyang always carried her child's clothes wherever she went. But now she had more than one child, including Gu Jiao.
