However, this person didn't pay much attention to it, as the light in the mountain forest was quite dim at the moment. It's entirely possible to misjudge what you see.
So he determined the direction in which Qin Fang and his companion left, and slowly followed after them…
If one were to carefully examine the clothes he wore, underneath that thick cotton jacket, some peculiar items were faintly visible at his waist!
But there was no one in the mountains, so no one could notice this…
At this time, regular tourists have either already set up camp in the mountains or are comfortably staying in the resort, making it unlikely to encounter anyone along the mountain trail.
Only Qin Fang and Chu Yunxuan were hiking briskly towards their destination—the cliffside.
They were moving quite quickly, with Qin Fang holding Chu Yunxuan's hand, transferring True Qi to her in real-time to replenish her stamina, ensuring they had the energy for a quick journey.
Due to their Joyous Zen practice, their True Qi was compatible, without any repulsion effects, allowing Qin Fang to transfer energy seamlessly.
With abundant stamina, they traversed a mountain path that might take ordinary people two hours to cover in just over forty minutes, saving nearly two-thirds of the time, indicating the speed of their walk…
Even the two unfortunate kids trailing them were exhausted by Qin Fang and Yunxuan's speed…
If it wasn't for the road narrowing down to a single mountain path later on, they feared they might lose track. But upon realizing Qin Fang and Yunxuan were heading for the cliffside, the two simultaneously revealed a grin.
That cliffside was extremely secluded, with no retreat except for one small path leading to the mountain. By blocking that path, Qin Fang would be unable to escape even if he sprouted wings!
With this plan in mind, they were naturally delighted, eagerly following along…
Qin Fang and Yunxuan were unaware as they continued hiking swiftly, appreciating the mountain scenery along the way. Despite the dim lighting, passing through pavilions and creeks brought another flavor to the journey.
Nevertheless, they soon reached their destination, arriving at the cliff's edge!
As Chu Yunxuan had feared, the wind atop the cliff was indeed much stronger than within the mountains. The closer they got to the edge, the wind blew harder due to the lack of barriers.
Thus, regular camping tourists preferred setting up tents in the forest, where there were no tigers or wolves to threaten them, and even vipers were scarce. The cold weather likely left snakes still in hibernation.
Compared to the open cliffside, the forest was much safer, naturally being the optimal camping location for them.
But Qin Fang had a different idea, choosing to camp here instead, away from the crowd, enjoying the tranquility it offered.
"Ah~~ The view here is really nice…"
Arriving at the cliff, feeling the breeze, slightly chilly but refreshing, particularly given its purity without a trace of impurity!
From the cliff's edge, one could see the bright lights of the resort below, the silver shimmer of Qingshan Reservoir, and even the distant sea.
Although, what they saw of the sea was just a vague blackness, with no sense of the sea, except occasionally hearing the distant roar of the waves… not very clear!
"You can gaze around here; I'll set up the tent…"
At night, despite the darkness all around, sometimes a hint of light gave an unusual feeling, complemented by the increasingly visible starlight, creating a beautiful scene.
Qin Fang let Chu Yunxuan enjoy the view while he began setting up the tent…
The cliff was rocky, making tent setup challenging for most, but not for Qin Fang. Though he couldn't cut the rocks like tofu, driving stakes into them was easy due to his immense strength, which allowed him to easily drill a hole in the rock with a single hammer strike.
Qin Fang was busy when he suddenly felt a pang of tension.
"Hmm?"
Qin Fang paused, involuntarily lifting his head, looking quizzically towards the mountain path.
Although the minimap showed nothing, Qin Fang felt a sense of unease, as if something unknown and dangerous lurked there.
This was a special ability Qin Fang acquired at this level, a primal instinct for sensing danger.
"Could we be targeted…"
Qin Fang couldn't help but have such a thought in his mind.
However, he did not make any sudden actions and continued setting up the tent, without uttering a word to Chu Yunxuan.
This mountain cliff is extremely secluded, with only one path leading here, which seems disadvantageous to Qin and the others. If someone blocks this road, Qin would have no choice but to force his way through.
But by the same token, if someone wants to harm them with ill intentions, they have only this one road to come through… So it is actually quite advantageous for Qin!
From this perspective, both sides have their advantages and disadvantages evenly matched, so Qin naturally felt confident.
"I hope this is just a false feeling..."
Overall, Qin still hoped that no unexpected incidents or feuds would occur!
He was not worried about his own safety, but he didn't want anything to happen to Chu Yunxuan...
Fortunately, that sense of crisis quickly disappeared, as if it never existed, which gradually put Qin at ease...
But he didn't completely relax and remained somewhat vigilant, occasionally checking his small map!
The fifty-meter reconnaissance range isn't large, but it's not small either. If anyone intends to harm them, they would have to enter this range, so Qin was not in a hurry…
Though he seemed to be unarmed, in fact, he was like a walking arsenal; anyone who decided to battle him would be destined for misfortune!
The tent was quickly set up, a large-sized one for two people. The two had long been as close as oil and its lubricants; camping in the wild naturally meant sharing a tent was rightful for a romantic night…
"Let me roast something for you first..."
Qin quickly took out the materials and started a fire.
On such a cold night, necessary campfire warmth is essential, both to ward off the chill and to drive away some wild animals and reptiles in the area…
There were not many such creatures nearby this mountain cliff; Qin mainly wanted to roast some food for Chu Yunxuan and keep warm.
The food this time didn't have any mutated variety, as that occurrence is rare and unexpected.
Chu Yunxuan seemed to be in a good mood, eating until her small belly slightly protruded, and she couldn't help but let out a satisfied burp before stopping.
"Sigh, it's only when you cook that I can eat this much…"
After the feast and drink, Chu Yunxuan couldn't help but say, increasingly feeling it impossible to leave Qin behind.
As for the once-cherished Ron, besides a vague ache in her heart, he's now just a passerby, without any special feelings left.
"Then I'll cook for you for a lifetime..."
Qin timely offered a line of romantic words, causing Chu Yunxuan to glow with happiness, her eyes shining with a hint of desire, seemingly extending an invitation to Qin.
Thus...
Qin wrapped his arm around, immediately picking up Chu Yunxuan and they snuck into the large tent together...
"Qin Fang, it seems like we're being watched..."
Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the tent, before Qin could speak, Chu Yunxuan already spoke, as if she had sensed it too.
"Yes, someone indeed has their eyes on us... Let's just pretend like we don't know anything for now and see who they really are!"
Qin nodded, as both of them felt a certain intuitive connection due to their cultivation technique, which is likely why Chu Yunxuan picked up on Qin's alertness.
"Mmm... Then let's keep acting!"
Chu Yunxuan understood Qin's intention, her expression turning serious as she said.
In this vast wilderness at night, they were just tourists visiting, yet being watched means those people must have malign intentions.
But it's not something to be greatly feared, especially with such a master in their midst. Unless the opponent is an equally powerful or even stronger master, it's hard to harm Qin and his companion.
"Take this, just in case... you know what to do!"
Qin thought for a moment and took a gun from the Props Box, handing it to Chu Yunxuan. In case the opponent attempts to use Chu Yunxuan to manipulate him, the gun could be exceptionally effective...(To be continued.
