Lina came back to her senses and saw Chen Qing’s meticulous and serious expression. She realized that Chen Qing seemed to have the same expression these past few days. Could it be that Chen Qing had been in trouble recently?
She knew that even if she asked, Chen Qing would not tell her, so she nodded and followed Chen Qing to find a suitable path.
At first, walking up Cliff Mountain was still alright. Holding a climbing stick, Chen Qing cleared the weeds in front of him and finally created a small path.
Later on, the route became steeper. Lina climbed up. There was a flat piece of land above, and she could circle to the back of the mountain through the forest.
Lina held the topographic map of the cliff mountain in her hand. As she looked at the route, she compared it to the photos of the Colorful Fungus and Flowing Tree.
According to Nian Nian, under normal circumstances, Colorful Fungus grew beside the trunk of a Flowing Tree. Therefore, as long as one found the Flowing Tree, it was very likely that they would find Colorful Fungus.
Lina focused on finding the Flowing Tree. Chen Qing was in charge of clearing the obstacles in front.
Cliff Mountain was really filled with birdsong and the fragrance of flowers and soil.
At some point in time, the wind had gradually grown stronger. The branches were rustling, and even the grass could not stand up.
Lina rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand. Only then did she notice that the sky had darkened. She looked up and could only see lush leaves. The leaves had already blocked most of the sky.
She glanced at the time on her wrist. It was already one in the afternoon. She invited Chen Qing for lunch.
She sat down beside Chen Qing and saw that his pants were torn. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Chen Qing say, "Seventh Princess, we have to speed up. We’ve only walked a third of the way."
"You..." As Lina spoke, her gaze fell on the back of Chen Qing’s hand. She saw that it was already bleeding. "You’re injured."
As she spoke, Lina subconsciously held Chen Qing’s hand.
"I’m fine." As Chen Qing spoke, he retracted his hand calmly and narrowed his eyes, looking into the distance.
Lina looked at Chen Qing’s hand and slowly lowered her gaze. She stopped talking and ate silently.
After dinner, the two of them continued walking in.
The deeper they went, the lusher the trees became.
After walking for an unknown period of time, suddenly, thunder rumbled in the sky.
Everything she was doing now was for her mother’s sake. It was just a little rain. How could she back down?
