"Now can you tell me why we came here?"
Once Ye Rou and Li Fan had disappeared from sight, Qian Renxue found a rock to sit on and asked Zhao Su.
Zhao Su sat down beside Qian Renxue as well.
"There really wasn't any special reason. Shanggu Fu told me to take this route!"
"You trust Shanggu Fu that much?"
"Perhaps it was fate. We felt like old friends from the moment we met!"
Zhao Su put his arm around Qian Renxue, the corners of his mouth lifting into a smile. "You don't need to be so nervous. When the cart reaches the mountain, a road will appear. If we can't escape something, there's no point deliberately trying to avoid it!"
"I've noticed that you really have changed a lot since I last saw you!"
"Perhaps."
After that, Zhao Su remained in no hurry and continued strolling up toward the summit, treating it as a spring outing.
Although everything here was rock, with no greenery to speak of.
Still, it offered different scenery and a different experience.
By the time Zhao Su and Qian Renxue reached the summit, darkness had fallen. They looked around but saw no sign of Li Fan or Ye Rou.
"Zhao Su, we sensed the presence of a Head-Descending Soul Master up ahead. We're following it first. Catch up with us!"
Just then, a talisman appeared before Zhao Su.
The moment Zhao Su reached out and caught it, a line of words appeared before him.
From the aura on the talisman, Zhao Su knew Li Fan had left it.
"The presence of a Head-Descending Soul Master?"
Zhao Su murmured as he watched the words dissolve before him, as though something had occurred to him.
"Could a Head-Descending Soul Master be hiding up here on the summit?"
