Chapter 41 -37: The Beginning of Alienation

Zhan Ze found himself speechless, and immediately ran down.

“Be careful, the road is slippery, don’t fall,” Shi Zi shouted, as if breathing a sigh of relief. At the same time, she wondered what had happened last night, and how the two had ended up together.

“Why would these two survive and not say anything?” Jing Xing asked.

Yu Qing looked back over her shoulder from time to time and said, “Those people have come down the mountain.”

Ye Chen nodded in agreement.

The sun was getting higher.

The two of them staggered and eventually reached the foot of the mountain.

Zhan Ze and the others had appeared at the back. Ye Chen was also a bit tired, and their voices drifted over from behind.

“I’m really a bit tired, alright? You’re too heavy,” someone whined.

“Shut up, you rogue!” Yu Qing yelled, “Put me down, there are no steps here, the road is very flat, I can walk by myself.” She seemed afraid people might see her, as if she had done something guilty.

“Are you sure?” came a reply.

Yu Qing nodded her head.

“Twist the other foot, and wait for Zhan Ze to carry you to the latrine tonight.”

With one slap, Ye Chen put Yu Qing down.

He slumped against a rock and muttered, “I really can’t move anymore.”

Zhan Ze ran over and yelled, “Where did you two go? Do you know that we were worried all night?”

Ye Chen smiled and said, “You should ask this young girl.”

Yu Qing, looking embarrassed, answered, “I was on the edge of the cliff picking flowers when a deer startled me. I lost my footing and slipped down the cliff.”

“Wait, you fell off the cliff?” Zhan Ze anxiously asked, looking at the heavily perspiring Ye Chen.

“I slid down, and then twisted my foot. I couldn’t climb back up, so I moved along the base of the cliff, hoping to find an exit. Little did I expect, I went deeper and further away.”

“Why didn’t you call out to us or wait for us below?” Zhan Ze admonished her.

“I did call, but there was no response. I thought I could find my way up the mountain,” Yu Qing explained.

“You’re injured?” Zhan Ze crouched down, noticing the foot bandaged by strips of torn cloth.

“Don’t worry, Ye Chen put some crushed pine heart on it, and it’s a lot better.”

Shi Zi also came over and said, “Your hand is also injured.”

“Don’t worry, it’s already clotted,” Yu Qing reassured her.

Zhan Ze asked, “Ye Chen, how did you find her? Why didn’t you tell us?”

Ye Chen replied, “Last night, after you left, I went to the cliff. It was dusk then, and I thought I might have a chance if I went down to the base of the cliff. I didn’t think much and went down. Later, I discovered some tracks and continued going down. And there in the middle of the cliff, I found her. I wanted to come back up to tell you but it was too dark and there was no moonlight. She also twisted her foot and even if I yelled, you wouldn’t have heard me. So we decided to stay in a cave for the night.”

“You stayed in the cave for the night.” Shi Zi echoed.

With a smack, Yu Qing yelled, “What are you thinking, you little girl!”

“This morning, I wanted to climb back up to the top, knowing you’d be worried about us. But with her in this condition, she couldn’t climb at all. So we chose another route, left the cliff, and found the way down the mountain,” Ye Chen continued, “Zhan Ze, good you’re here. You carry her, I have to go home and tell my mother, so she doesn’t worry anymore.” Believing that his mother already knew, he handed Yu Qing to Zhan Ze and left without looking back.

Zhan Ze said to Yu Qing, “Let me carry you back.”

Yu Qing replied, “No need for that, I was afraid to walk on the steps of the mountain, in case I twisted my foot again. That’s why I asked someone else to carry me. But now, the road is flat, I can walk by myself.” She called out, “Shi Zi, come here, let me lean on you.” Her hand landed on Shi Zi’s shoulder. Suddenly, the group expanded by one, perhaps due to her embarrassment, the situation was slightly different from before.

“Let me carry you,” Zhan Ze insisted.

“I’m fine, I can walk. The swelling has reduced a lot.”

The silhouette of the monkey disappeared quickly, vanishing at the end of the path in a blink of an eye.

Yu Qing, leaning on Shi Zi’s shoulder, continued slowly along the river and asked, “Zhan Ze, did the people on the mountain know we’re alive?”

“They know,” he responded, his heart filled with ripples; unable to help wondering why such things didn’t happen to him.

“You must have been worried, right?” Qing’er limped along.

Shi Zi said, “There’s nothing to worry about, as long as you’re alive, that’s what matters.”

“You all thought I was captured by some monster, didn’t you?” Yu Qing asked.

“Hehe, no need to mention that, it’s the only explanation. You disappeared all of a sudden, we searched the mountain for hours, and found no trace of you or Ye Chen. We could only think you might have encountered some monster,” Shi Zi explained.

Yu Qing smiled slightly and said, “You were worried all night, I really don’t know what to say.”

“Hey, as long as you’re alive, that’s what matters.”

Seeing that Zhan Ze was silent as if deep in thought, Yu Qing said, “Zhan Ze, come over here, let me lean on your shoulder as well?” seemingly noticing his unhappiness.

Zhan Ze, absorbed in his thoughts, was finally distracted by her voice.

Shi Zi said, “The one who was most worried was Zhan Ze. He didn’t sleep all night. If you were a little late, we would be ready to go down the cliff, or enter those secret caves to find you.”

“I made you worry,” Yu Qing said.

“We weren’t worried, as long as you’re all alive, that’s what matters.”

“Did Ye Chen carry you out of the cliff after you twisted your foot?” Zhan Ze asked.

“No way! That’s a cliff for monkeys to walk, not carrying people! Impossible.”

Shi Zi asked, “Then how did you get out?”

“I trailed after the monkey, moving step by step slowly,” Yu Qing explained.

“That must have been dangerous,” Shi Zi said.

“There was no choice. I didn’t want to stay in the cave. Should I actually wait till my foot healed before leaving? Definitely not!”

Shi Zi laughed.

“It’s my fault, I didn’t protect you well. If I had been with you all along, maybe this wouldn’t have happened,” Zhan Ze lamented.

“Hey, an accident. Ah, it seems like I’ve ruined your mood for climbing.” Qing’er said.

Shi Zi said, “Don’t talk about it. If something really happened to you, I’d be devastated. Do you know how scared I was that you might have run into a monster!”

“Hmm, I know. I know you were worried about me. I was wrong. I should reflect on it.”

“Reflect on it? I’m afraid if something actually happens to you, Zhan Ze will ask me to compensate for your life.”

Zhan Ze gave a faint, forced smile.

Yu Qing said, “Don’t worry, Zhan Ze won’t do that.”

Ye Chen returned to the courtyard, his mother having been informed of this situation. She had heard he was missing and was preparing to go up the mountain to look for him.

At that moment, Ye Chen rushed in.

Ye Xue, who was about to set off, couldn’t believe it and asked, “Where have you been all night?”

Ye Chen quickly relayed the series of events to his mother.

Only then did Ye Xue understand what actually happened.

“Do the people on the mountain know?”

“Hmm, they do.”

“What about the girl?”

“She sprained her ankle. I’ve already carried her down, so you don’t have to worry.” Ye Chen chugged half a teapot of water, and added, “I’m really hungry.”

“What am I supposed to do if something happens to you?”

“It’s all my fault.”

“You didn’t even tell anyone, just went straight down to the bottom of the cliff.”

Ye Chen said, “I didn’t think she’d be down there, I was just planning to go down and have a look, and if I didn’t find anything I’d go straight back up. But as it turned out, the further I went, the darker it got. When I found her halfway up the mountain, it was already dark and she couldn’t climb because she sprained her ankle. It was only proper that I didn’t abandon her there, so I stayed with her all night.”

“Alright, go take a shower, change your clothes, and then eat breakfast.”

Ye Chen nodded.

Before long, Su Hong arrived. Just as Ye Chen had changed his clothes, he went out to meet Sect Leader Su.

Ye Xue had just finished explaining what happened.

Su Hong asked, “Chen, you’re not injured, right?”

Ye Xue answered, “No, he’s not. I apologize for our concerns, Sect Leader.”

“No need to worry as long as nothing big happened.”

Ye Chen walked over, and said, “Uncle, next time I’ll let you know that I’m safe, so you won’t have to worry for a whole night.”

“Hey, no need to worry. The main thing is everyone is safe.” Su Hong added, “But you did a good job this time.”

“I didn’t even expect to find the girl at the foot of the cliff.”

“But next time, when you encounter this kind of situation, you can’t act like this. You should wait for us to come, and then we find a solution together. If you had any accident when you climbed down, what were we supposed to do?”

Ye Chen nodded and said, “Mmm, thank you uncle for reminding me. But I hope this kind of thing will never happen again.”

Upon hearing this, Su Hong chuckled, “Your actions really worried your mother.”

Ye Chen nodded, and said, “That’s why I came back.”

“Nothing happened, so Junior Sister can also relieve her worries.”

After a while, Su Hong left.

Zhan Ze sent Yu Qing back to Jingyue Pavilion and immediately invited the best divine doctor in Immortal City.

The divine doctor unwrapped the bandage on the foot, confirming “It appears that this guy does know a bit about herbal medicine.”

Yu Qing said, “He’s a villager, and there are only two pine trees outside the cliff. He picked it from the pine tree.”

“The core of the pine is cold in nature, it can be used to reduce swelling.”

Zhan Ze said, “Divine doctor, you need to change to a better herb.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll use the best medicine for Miss Qing’er.” The divine doctor assured.

Shi Zi said, “Yu Qing has another injury in her hand, you need to check it properly.”

Zhan Ze quickly said, “Yes, she’s also injured her hand, go check it out quickly.”

Yu Qing raised her hand, saying, “It’s not a big deal, I just got a small scratch.”

“That’s not okay. If there are grains of sand or bits of wood left inside, and the wound is not cleaned properly, it will be hard to recover.” Zhan Ze explained.

Not long after, Jingxing and Haotian also returned.

Walking into the courtyard, Jingxing said, “You really frightened us. We were all thinking that you were snatched away by a monster.”

Yu Qing turned her head and replied, “I’ve made the people of the Immortal City worried.”

“If we couldn’t find you any longer, the people of Demon Palace would have known about it.” Haotian said.

“You’re being a bit dramatic.”

“Quickly tell us what happened?” Haotian was eager to know.

“Simply put, it was an accident. I fell down a cliff, and couldn’t go up because I sprained my ankle.”

“Fell down a cliff! That sounds really serious.”

Shi Zi said, “Just look at her torn clothes and jeans, you could tell how serious it was.”

Haotian laughed, “It looks as if you were attacked.”

“This guy, always thinking about some nonsensical stuff.” Shi Zi muttered.

Young Master Ze didn’t say anything.
