The towering trees shielded the sun.
It was even colder in the mountains. Chi Jiao’s petite face was already flushed red.
As Quan Jue observed the environment, he glanced at her from the corner of his eye.
Seeing her raising her hand to her mouth to blow on it from time to time, he reached out and pulled her hand over to warm it in his palm.
Just then, rustling sounds were heard.
Almost instantly, Quan Jue and Gu Xia responded by pulling their bows and nocking their arrows.
Chi Jiao watched Quan Jue’s actions.
The young man’s figure was as straight as a small white poplar. His eyes were sharp and focused, and his actions were so handsome that her eyes lit up.
Swish!
The sound of an arrow tearing through the air was heard. Gu Xia shot an arrow first.
In the bushes, a wild rabbit was escaping.
The arrow was aimed straight at the plump hare.
When Chi Jiao saw this scene, she felt a little regretful.
She had seen Gu Xia’s archery before. It was very accurate.
Since he had made the first move, Brother Quan was probably going to lose this round.
Just as this thought flashed across Chi Jiao’s mind, beside her, Quan Jue curled his lips into a lazy smile. Suddenly, he turned around and released his grip.
Swish!
The sharp arrow pierced the air and flew towards the bushes behind Chi Jiao.
“Ah!!!” Immediately after, a heart-wrenching scream was heard.
Gu Xia and Shen Liao’s reactions were very fast. The two of them immediately ran to Chi Jiao and Quan Jue’s side and aimed their bows at the bushes.
Chi Jiao looked at him, her eyes as bright as stars.
“Brother Quan, you’re so handsome.”
Quan Jue curled his lips lightly. “It’s nothing.”
Listening to their conversation, Gu Xia and Shen Liao could feel a toothache coming along.
This brat Quan Jue is taking his undeserved gain for granted! Jiaojiao has never praised us like this before!
The two people in the bushes could no longer hide. The tall man stood up first and pointed his shotgun at Chi Jiao and the rest.
Immediately after, the shorter man stood up. It was clearly winter, but his face was covered in sweat and he was as pale as a ghost.
Quan Jue’s arrow just now had hit his shoulder.
“Ding Fu?” Shen Liao recognized the tall man, and his expression instantly turned cold.
Standing beside him, Gu Xia quickly glanced at Chi Jiao with worried eyes.
Even if Chi Jiao lived her life all over again, she would never forget Ding Fu’s donkey-like face.
This ugly man with fierce eyes was the first person in her life to make her feel such a nightmarish terror.
Back then, Chen Xiaoyun’s death had left an indestructible shadow in Chi Jiao’s heart. Whenever she thought of Chen Xiaoyun now, her heart would still feel strange.
All of this was thanks to this person before them.
But now, Chi Jiao’s gaze as she looked at Ding Fu did not contain any fear. Instead, it was filled with rumination and excitement.
She really wanted to know who had given Ding Fu the courage to once again appear in Mount Li.
“Put down your weapons, or I’ll shoot.” Ding Fu’s expression was gloomy. His poisonous gaze slowly swept across the people in front of him like a snake before finally stopping on Chi Jiao.
The sinister look in his eyes instantly turned strange.
The young lady from back then had actually grown up. She was as exquisite and beautiful as he had imagined.
She was so beautiful that he wanted to destroy her.
Chi Jiao’s lips curled up slightly when she saw him looking at her.
However, Ding Fu caught the fleeting smile on his prey’s face.
