It must be said, at this moment, Princess Ataâs mouth was just as sharp as Xiaosuiâs.
Because just after she finished speaking, she was the first to retreat in the direction of the Mountain Cave, and then entered the cave without a second thought.
Dugu Xiao saw that both he and Ji Youzhi were struggling to hold on, so he could only say, "Youzhi, letâs go into the Mountain Cave and pause for a while."
Ji Youzhi helplessly replied, "Itâs useless; it wonât rain from the sky."
Look at this sky, clear and cloudless, how could it suddenly rain?
Thereâs no talking granddaughter of his here, who could make anything happen just by saying it?
However, just as he refused, a series of dragon roars suddenly resounded from above, followed by a rushing sound.
It sounded like boulders rolling, yet also like a rapid river!
"What sound is that?"
Dugu Xiao and a group of Nanjiang soldiers were all puzzled as they looked up.
Ji Youzhi quickly grabbed Dugu Xiao, "Get into the Mountain Cave quickly!"
Dugu Xiao asked in confusion, "What on earth is happening?"
Ji Youzhi glanced at Princess Ata, opened his mouth but said nothing, as a water curtain suddenly poured down at the cave entrance, thick and fast, lasting for a long time.
It was as torrential as a dam breaking.
"Is it raining from the sky?"
Dugu Xiao craned his neck to look at the outside sky!
Ji Youzhi pulled at his shoulder.
"Donât look, itâs Xiaoqing!"
"Hmm?"
Dugu Xiao still looked puzzled, but Princess Ata had already guessed something!
"Was that flying dragon just now called Xiaoqing?"
Ji Youzhi nodded, "Yes! Suisui gave it that name. This water probably came from it spewing. Maybe Yun Kuo saw a fire here and worried about a forest fire, so he had it spray some water!"
Yun Kuo: I didnât, stop lying!
Xiaoqing: A beautiful misunderstanding, I like it!
"It turns out itâs the Eldest Princessâs pet. No wonder ever since the dragon appeared, Iâve felt a glimmer of hope for us, and I just communicated with the heavens for survival from death!"
Both Ji Youzhi and Dugu Xiao couldnât help but twitch their lips slightly, and faintly said, "You and the National Master are both walking the road of great charlatans?"
Speaking of the National Master, Princess Ata always felt indebted to him, so she said, "I wonder how the National Master and the others are doing!"
"Donât worry! Cultivators have many ways to preserve their lives. Besides, he helped us tear open an escape route, so it might not be anything less than seeking a chance of survival for himself!"
Dugu Xiao, who had studied military strategy since childhood, was prone to conspiracy theories, but this time he was indeed right; the National Master had precisely this idea!
"But even so, it was due to his great help that we had this glimmer of hope. If he hadnât decisively acted then, we would surely have all died on the mountain."
Princess Ata said with a bitter smile.
Dugu Xiao remained silent upon hearing it.
Ji Youzhi said faintly, "Donât worry! The National Masterâs skill is not bad, plus he has a little Lucky Star disciple at his side, blessed with luck, it shouldnât be so easy for him to die!"
When mentioning the âlittle Lucky Star,â Ji Youzhiâs whole being was gnashing his teeth."
Even though Li Yanyan is not a little Lucky Star in the true sense, the second sister-in-law once said that Li Yanyan was born on the same day as Xiaosuisui, which means she more or less got a touch of Xiaosuisuiâs luck, and is more blessed than most in this world.
This little girl, you want her to die early?
Three words, âNot possibleâ!
At this time, the National Master and Li Yanyan, who were in everyoneâs thoughts, had already fallen apart. One was unconscious, the other covered in blood, swept down the mountainside by Xiaoqingâs water, landing directly in a pond, and had just been found by Xiaoqing.
The other had rolled down along the mountain path, getting caught by the roots of a large tree halfway up the mountain, and had just been discovered by Yun Kuo.
"How could the National Masterâs little disciple be so badly injured?"
When Yun Kuo saw Li Yanyan, he was completely shocked.
The small, curled-up girl was lying on the ground, covered in blood. She lay face down with her back exposed. The blood came from her back.
With urgency, Yanyan rushed forward and gently checked her breath, "Luckily, thereâs still hope!"
He hurriedly examined Li Yanyanâs injuries, finding a long knife scar running across her entire back!
