Zhi Shan

The elderly man did not notice anyone else hiding in the forest. Only the sound of swords and blades clashing came echoing from afar. 

The other elderly man had been fighting Ji Xin and Zhou Jinchun by himself but he was able to overpower them and stop them from getting away. As they could not rescue Li Ruolan, their hearts had been burning with anxiety. They wished they could just ignore the man's blade and rush over to her side to rescue her, even if it meant suffering a few injuries.

When they suddenly saw a flying blade appear, they heaved a sigh of relief and calmed their hearts.

Ji Xin raised his voice and shouted again, "Junior Sister Li, don't worry. We can handle this!"

Li Ruolan stopped and looked over to him.

She had guessed that Ji Xin's earlier shouting had been aimed at Zhao Dahe. He had been trying to force Zhao Dahe to make a move.

She secretly sighed.
