Not wanting to listen, but the sound still insists on drilling into her ear, Gui Wan feels slightly shaky, watching this foreign prince show a face of panic, gradually blurring into the wind. Right now, the horse has already passed through the entire crowd, looks like they are able to head straight east, when something sharp pierces through the air like a shooting star, aiming to stab into the two people on the horse.
Gui Wan had yet to react to this, when a cool feeling fleetingly passes by her arm, a long arrow skims past her clothing, greatly startled, she immediately looks back.
Not far away, a few Nu soldiers had already noticed the target that the prince is chasing after, raising the bow and arrows in their hands, aiming right at Gui Wan.
Ye Li also sees the current situation, cold sweat dripping, heart greatly disturbed, he furiously shouts out: “Stop, all of you stop, no one is allowed to harm her……stop it.”
The entire Nu army all found it strange, this is originally the Nu Tribe’s great way of arresting fugitives, yet they are being ordered not to shoot arrows right now, it is just rather puzzling. The majority of the Nu army upon hearing this order, lowers their bow and arrows, not daring to make a move, but one particular soldier upon hearing the order, could not react in time, the arrow in hand had already shot out from the bow, piercing through the wind, shooting towards the person on the horse.
He lowers his hand, turning his head to sneak a look, Ye Li had already dismounted the horse, furiously storming over, never has anyone seen this dignified prince this angry before, heart in panic, he had yet to voice out his explanation, when Ye Li’s blade was already swinging directly at him.
Everyone was trembling in shock by that moment in which the soldier’s blood was sprayed, spraying a nicely curved arc into the air, the crimson red blood splatters, that soldier practically didn’t even have the time to express his shock, and Ye Li had already chopped at his throat in one swing, his corpse immediately collapsing with a “peng” sound, shocking awake the consciousness of everyone around them.
“Didn’t I just say, you’re not allowed to harm her?” An absolutely chilling voice is emitted from Ye Li’s mouth, on the sharp sword in his hand, traces of blood trails down the edge of the blade, dripping onto the ground of the wilderness. Ye Li’s face carries evil and rage, and also a deep trace of unwilling acceptance, raising his eyes, attentively watching that horse disappear into the wilderness.

The howling sound of wind blowing past, lasted a long time before it faded, a long neigh enters the ear, and the horse comes to a stop. Gui Wan takes a deep deep breath, regaining composure of herself. After going through a crisis between life and death at Feng Qi Slope, she has since developed a sense of fear of riding horses, unless at a moment of crisis, she would never dare to easily ride a horse. Once she slightly settles her heart, the girl in yellow had already dismounted the horse, turning her head to look at Gui Wan, laughingly saying: “Crisis temporarily lifted, you can get off and take a little rest now.”
Following along in dismounting the horse, Gui Wan looks around, this place is no longer the wilderness, green grassland, a look into the distance of no boundary, when the wind blows by, there is a sort of captivating wave of grass, wave after wave, like a huge gentle hand is brushing over the earth, even bringing along with it, the refreshing taste of the wind brushing against one’s face. Suddenly feeling that in her eyes, there holds such beautiful scenery, even though the crisis is not yet completely over in this moment, Gui Wan still feels as though she is in a state of deep intoxication.
“This is the most hidden passage from Yu Xia Guan, known as ‘Green Sea’, very beautiful right?” Seeing Gui Wan’s expression, the girl in yellow couldn’t hold back her smile, and slowly explains.
Gently nodding her head, Gui Wan slightly smiles as she answers: “Indeed very beautiful.”
Another burst of wind blows over again, the green sea billows, and the girl in yellow closes her eyes, also following Gui Wan in breathing the fresh air of nature, opening her eyes, her eyes suddenly sharpens up, turning to look at Gui Wan, asking: “Who are you? Why is the Nu Tribe’s Prince Ye Li chasing after you? You should be a Celestial Empire person right?”
“Asking so many questions in one breath, even I do not know how I should answer them.” Gui Wan leisurely says in reply.
“Then I shall directly ask you,” The girl in yellow approaches Gui Wan, staring dead into her eyes, seeming to want to see through her, “Are you the Nu Tribe’s spy?”
Without immediately answering, they attentively look over each other again, Gui Wan after careful consideration, resolutely says: “I am not.” Suddenly pausing, she asks back, “What about you? Not only skilled in martial arts, but also bold and daring. Who exactly are you?”
