The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space Chapter 2412: Right Here (Part 4)

"Alright." Ran Lei considered for a moment before nodding his head. To have a Divine Doctor accompanying them meant that should the child or Ayang feel unwell, there would be someone to attend to them, right?

Gu Qingheng was naturally unaware of Ran Lei's true considerations. Even if he had known, it would not have mattered. He felt the journey was not without merit; not only did he gain insight into the situation of the Flame Sect in Miaojiang, but he also found hope in locating the Cloud King, which could not help but bring him joy.

Although the Cloud King might potentially vie with the Crown Prince for that coveted position, he was undoubtedly a person deserving of respect. Just as Xinxin had mentioned, at the very least, he possessed righteousness in his heart and would not resort to base tactics to achieve his ambitions. A figure like that serving as a rival to the Crown Prince could act as a form of spur for him.

Of course, whether it truly served as motivation or not was another matter entirely. He was a Prince of Daxuan, and under absolutely no circumstances should he fall into the clutches of an evil cult, nor should he ever become a mere tool for them to exert leverage over the Imperial Court.

Ultimately, their plan to eat roasted rabbit was abandoned; after all, starting a fire would inevitably produce smoke, and if any Flame Sect members were lurking nearby, it would undoubtedly lead to complications.

"The Flame Sect would not conceal their people too deeply within the mountains." Ran Lei produced a leather map from his chest, surprisingly revealing a detailed map of Miaojiang. "I have indicated the potential areas where they might be hiding their people. We have already investigated these locations, and they were empty, with only a few spots remaining. If nothing unforeseen occurs, it should be located..."

"Someone is approaching." Ming Guang suddenly announced.

Gu Qingheng also detected the sound of footsteps at that precise instant. While they were still distant, his internal strength had now reached a level nearly equivalent to Ming Guang's. Consequently, not long after Ming Guang became aware, he naturally did as well.

However, at this critical juncture, Jin Bao, who was on Ran Lei's back, suddenly let out a whimper, indicating either hunger or the need for a restroom. The child pouted, appearing on the verge of tears.

Unexpectedly, Dao Xuzi extended his hand and, without revealing what he did, placed something into the little one's mouth. The child blinked his eyes, and in the very next second, to everyone's surprise, promptly fell asleep.

"Elder, you..."

"Why are you making such a fuss?" Dao Xuzi shot Ayang a sidelong glance. "I merely administered a restorative, ensuring he won't feel hungry even if he abstains from food for two days. Allow him to rest for a while, do you comprehend? My medicinal pills are exceedingly rare and precious, you know."

"I offer my apologies, Elder." Ayang glanced at the infant whose breathing was remarkably steady and realized he had been excessively anxious moments before. He quickly offered his apologies.

"Hmph!" Dao Xuzi snorted with an air of arrogance. "He is nowhere near as adorable as Xinxin."

Ayang harbored a desire to inquire about the identity of this individual named Xinxin, but at that very moment, Gu Qingheng turned back, making a shushing gesture. Ayang promptly ceased speaking and even lowered his body closer to the ground.

Soon, the sound of footsteps grew louder, and then two figures, partially obscured by black masks and clad in black cloaks, materialized on the opposite hill. They were indeed members of the Flame Sect, armed with weapons. Certainly, the presence of just these two was not particularly alarming, but trailing behind them were two additional individuals. These two were attired in silver armor, also wielding weapons, yet they bore an aura that suggested they were not ordinary fighters.

Medicinal Soldiers!

A surge of excitement coursed through Gu Qingheng's heart. The presence of both Flame Sect followers and these formidable Medicinal Soldiers strongly indicated that Qi Jingyun was likely being held captive in this vicinity. However, simultaneously, a wave of apprehension washed over him. With the involvement of Medicinal Soldiers, the mission to rescue the individual would become exponentially more perilous.

"It appears we have found the location." Ran Lei let out a breath. "However, undertaking a rescue operation ourselves is impossible. Those Medicinal Soldiers are virtually invincible. Therefore, our only viable course of action is to return and notify the authorities of Daxuan."
