C44 Someone Is Following

"What?" Sikou Nianxi's sleepiness was almost gone. She sat up from Liu Jing's arms. Sikou Nianxi looked at Liu Jing and said, "We are already at the foot of Mount Ziwei?"

Liu Jing looked at Sikou Nianxi and pointed to a mountain shrouded in fog. He smiled and said, "If you don't believe me, you can look back for yourself."

The mountain in front of him was hidden in the fog. It was faintly emitting purple light. This was Mount Ziwei. Looking at the Zi Wei Mountain in front of her, Sikou Nianxi was a little surprised. She turned around to look at Liu Jing and asked, "Why did you arrive so quickly? I just squinted my eyes for a while and we are here already?"

Liu Jing's face was a little pale but the smile on his lips was still warm. He lightly patted Sikou Nianxi's head and said, "What do you mean by squinting your eyes for a while? You have already slept on the horse all night?"

He actually slept on the horse all night? Sikou Nianxi herself found it a little funny. The horse was bumpy and bumpy, but how did she fall asleep? Sikou Nianxi smiled. She thought Liu Jing's embrace was too stable. But she slept on the horse all night. Doesn't that mean Liu Jing...

Thinking of this, Sikou Nianxi frowned and looked at Liu Jing. "You've been riding on horseback all night?"

Liu Jing nodded and jumped off the horse. After he steadied himself, he passed his hand to Sikou Nianxi. "I saw that there was no place for me to rest and you were already sleeping on the horse. I didn't want to wake you up, so I didn't stop. Isn't it better to arrive at Zi Wei Mountain a day earlier?"

Sikou Nianxi grabbed Liu Jing's hand and used his strength to jump off the horse. Just as she stood on the ground, Sikou Nianxi could not help but say, "But you have been on the road all night. Won't your old illness relapse?"

Liu Jing laughed and laughed, "How can I be so delicate?" Sikou Nianxi suspiciously looked at Liu Jing's pale face. "Really?" "Okay, okay, okay." Liu Jing smiled and held Sikou Nianxi's hand as he walked towards Mount Ziwei. "When did you become so long-winded? I have been practicing martial arts since I was young. You are still worried about my body and bones. Now, Mount Ziwei is right in front of you. What are you dilly-dallying about? Don't you want to pick the Seven-Colored Lotus to heal Zhao Lee and Cui Wei?"

Sikou Nianxi looked at Liu Jing and sighed, "Then hurry up and leave."

They had only walked a few steps when Sikou Nianxi noticed Liu Jing stopping behind her. Frowning, Sikou Nianxi turned around and said impatiently, "Didn't you say you wanted to move faster? Why are you stopping now?"

Liu Jing did not frown. He signaled Sikou Nianxi to keep quiet. Sikou Nianxi felt something was not right, so she moved closer to Liu Jing and whispered, "What's wrong?"

Liu Jing gave Sikou Nianxi a look and then walked a few steps forward. He grabbed Sikou Nianxi's hand and led her forward again. As they walked, he whispered, "Nianxi, someone is following us."

Sikou Nianxi was shocked and also whispered, "Who?" "I don't know." Liu Jing frowned. "Maybe Leng Shaoyuan's men have caught up with us." "What?" Sikou Nianxi asked as she walked. She lowered her voice and said, "Haven't we already lost them? Why did you catch up to them again? Then what should we do now?"

Liu Jing suddenly stopped and started walking again. "If they were Leng Shaoyuan's men, they wouldn't want your life. At most, they would want to capture you and report to Leng Shaoyuan. We don't need to worry about them for now. We will find a way to get rid of them when we get the Seven-Colored Lotus."

Sikou Nianxi nodded after hearing that. Liu Jing continued, "Let's keep moving forward now and pretend we didn't find anything. If they are not wary, we will be able to get rid of them easily. Besides, the mist is surrounding the North Pole Mountain. It won't be easy for them to find us.

"Alright." Sikou Nianxi replied softly and continued to walk forward.

From the foot of the mountain to the top, Sikou Nianxi and Liu Jing took more than four hours. When they arrived at the top of the mountain, they were already panting and sweating profusely.

It was not easy for them to climb to the top of the mountain. Sikou Nianxi could not hold on any longer and immediately sat on the ground. Seeing this, Liu Jing also smiled and sat down beside Sikou Nianxi.

After inhaling a few mouthfuls of fresh air at the top of the mountain, Sikou Nianxi finally felt a little better. She turned her head to look at Liu Jing but saw that his face was becoming increasingly pale. She could not help frowning and said, "Liu Jing, I see that you seem to be not quite right for the past few days. Why do you always turn pale? Could it be that your old illness has broken again?"

As she spoke, Sikou Nianxi put her hand on Liu Jing's hand and wanted to take his pulse. After sensing Sikou Nianxi's intention, Liu Jing hurriedly pulled his hand out.

Sikou Nianxi was stunned and looked at him with a frown. "What's wrong?" "It's okay." Liu Jing's breath was still weak. "My face is fairer than an ordinary person's. I haven't slept the whole night and walked a few steps. I'm just tired. Fortunately, we are looking for the Seven-Colored Lotus first."

"Liu Jing..." Sighing lightly, Sikou Nianxi stood up from the ground. "Then after we return, I will take a good look at your body." Holding a nearby rock, Liu Jing stood up shakily. He smiled faintly at Sikou Nianxi and said, "Alright. When we return, I will definitely let you take your pulse properly. When the time comes, you can look at it that way."

"You..." Sikou Nianxi looked at Liu Jing with amusement. "Let's go. I'll take you to find the Seven-Colored Lotus."

Liu Rufeng had once told Sikou Nianxi that Seven-Colored Lotus liked Yin and that the back of the sun usually grew. Sikou Nianxi looked at the sun that hung high in the sky. She often stared into the night sky and foolishly looked at the moon, but she had never paid much attention to the sun. Now, probably because she was standing at the top of the mountain, Sikou Nianxi felt that the sun above her head was unusually big.

The corner of her mouth curled into a faint smile. Sikou Nianxi withdrew her gaze and held Liu Jing's hand, running against the high sun.

Because she was looking for the Seven-Colored Lotus with the sun behind her back. The deeper she went, the colder Liu Jing felt and the heavier his steps became. Sensing Liu Jing's unusual behavior, Sikou Nianxi stopped and turned to look at him. "Are you feeling unwell again?"

She still shook her head. The smile on Liu Jing's face became weaker. "I'm fine. I just feel a little cold." Sikou Nianxi smiled. "That's right. The seven-colored lotus likes Yin. The more we walk, the more we feel the cold air around us. It means we are closer to the seven-colored lotus."

Liu Jing's eyes were a little unfocused. He still maintained his smile and nodded. "You are right." Sikou Nianxi frowned and looked at Liu Jing. "Are you afraid of the cold?"

Liu Jing's head was getting heavier and heavier. He felt that Sikou Nianxi's voice was a little inaudible by his ear.
