333. Chapter 333: Plans Can't Keep Up with Changes

Hearing that, An Liu looked at Qiao Sheng and said, "Miss Qiao, I know you really want to save the master, but you also have to think about yourself. The master cares so much about you; if you get into trouble because of him, he would definitely…"

He hadn't finished speaking.

Qiao Sheng interrupted him: "I know, but I also care about him. I can't stand watching him die right before my eyes. So, if there is even a sliver of hope, I won't give it up."

Seeing them so determined.

An Liu pressed their lips together and said nothing more.

It didn't take long.

An Liu led Qiao Sheng to the cave where An Yi and the others were hiding.

An Yi and the others had already drawn their swords; upon seeing them, they all asked aloud whether Qiao Sheng was alright.

"I'm fine. How are you all?"

Qiao Sheng asked.

An Yi replied to her: "Miss Qiao, you don't need to worry too much about us. Among us, only An Er is seriously injured; the rest of us have only external wounds."

Having heard him finish.

Qiao Sheng took out the water flask that had been stored in the space; the one they had been carrying had already fallen, and this was a spare, filled with Spirit Spring Water.

"I filled it earlier; you all can have some."

Qiao Sheng handed it over.

An Yi and the others didn't wait; they took the water from Qiao Sheng's flask, poured some into their own flasks, and then drank one after another.

They had been very thirsty for a long time, so the water tasted sweeter than the usual mountain spring water.

An Er was seriously injured.

Qiao Sheng, uneasy about them staying here alone, discussed with An Yi and the others: when they go out at night to look for Heavenly Clothing Grass, they should leave someone in the cave to tend to him.

"Miss Qiao, I'm better than before; I don't need anyone to look after me…"

An Er propped themselves up and said.

Even so.

Qiao Sheng still did not agree.

"No, you're injured and can't be left without someone caring for you. If you encounter beasts or even wild men, in your current state you're no match for them."

Plans can't keep up with changes.

It wasn't even evening yet.

When Bei Ye woke up, he led the members of his tribe out to look for Qiao Sheng.

An Liu was perched on a tree outside, watching the surroundings; as soon as they appeared, he saw them.

He leapt down from the tree, rushed into the cave and said, "Miss Qiao, I saw people walking toward us. Their clothing is much like the man you described earlier; they must be from a tribe…"

Qiao Sheng spoke up, "This cave isn't hidden enough; if they come looking, they'll definitely find us. We need to leave quickly, the farther from them the better…"

The farther from them the better?

Their martial arts are strong?

An Er and the others were thinking that.

An Yi asked, "Can't we hide in the trees?"

Qiao Sheng told them how they had previously been captured by Bei Ye.

They learned that his tribe actually raised monkeys.

An Yi and the others said nothing more, quickly tidied the place, and headed out.

The less‑injured led the heavily‑injured as they fled.

Bei Ye and his group didn't find Qiao Sheng's party, but they discovered signs of a fight and saw that the Giant Python that had been troubling them seemed to have fallen off a cliff.

They found bloodstains and Giant Python scales on the cliff wall.

"Ye, the woman you met earlier probably didn't tell the truth; she definitely didn't come here alone, because clearly others also came here."

Rong Qi, Bei Ye's friend, said.

If she didn't come alone, who did she come with?

What is their purpose for coming here?

Bei Ye's eyebrows knit together. (End of chapter)
