Qin Jishi and Su Qi left the city and headed toward the distant mountain range.
Uh!
What neither of them had expected was that the mountain range was clearly right before their eyes.
And yet!
As they quickened their pace and rushed toward it, the mountain range seemed to remain forever before them, without drawing even the slightest bit closer.
One incense stick's time later!
Qin Jishi stopped, narrowing his eyes. "Qiqi, something's wrong."
Su Qi's expression shifted involuntarily. "Something is indeed wrong. There's a problem with that mountain range."
In the time it took to burn one incense stick, they should have traveled at least a hundred li.
How could the mountain range that was clearly before their eyes be so far away?
This instead!
Aroused Qin Jishi and Su Qi's curiosity.
Since it was so far away yet appeared as though it were within arm's reach, just how vast was that mountain range?
No!
It probably towered into the clouds!
What kind of mountain range could tower into the clouds?
Thinking this!
Qin Jishi and Su Qi exchanged a glance, then headed into the distance in perfect tacit understanding.
The next day!
Dawn broke!
Knock, knock, knock~
The door to Qin Jishi's room was knocked on. "Brother Qin, are you up?"
Chu Tianxiao stood outside the door.
"Brother Qin!"
"Brother Qin!"
After a short while, there was still no response from inside. Chu Tianxiao could not help laughing.
"Looks like Brother Qin went wild again last night."
"Hehe!"
"Worn out from overexertion!"
"..."
Muttering to himself, Chu Tianxiao had no intention of leaving.
"Brother Qin!"
"Brother Qin!"
For some reason... Chu Tianxiao felt an inexplicable affinity with Qin Jishi.
That feeling... was not gratitude toward a lifesaver.
Rather!
Rather, it was an inexplicable sense of closeness!
