It had just rained heavily and the roads were very muddy.

Coupled with the night, it was basically impossible to see the path ahead.

However, Ye Siming and Gu Nuo’er seemed to have lights in their eyes. The two of them walked side by side steadily.

Gu Nuo’er was as happy as a little b.u.t.terfly the moment she entered the mountain.

From time to time, she would run to the side and squat under the tree to look at the flowers and mushrooms that had just appeared.

At this moment, Ye Siming crossed his arms and waited at the side.

He frowned slightly and looked at the child squatting not far away. Her figure was small, and the two buns on her head looked playful and cute.

Gu Nuo’er reached out her small hand and picked two flower mushrooms, putting them into her small bag.

Then, she returned to Ye Siming’s side and reached out her small hand. “Elder Brother Siming, hold~”

Ye Siming looked down at her dirty and mud-stained hand.

He pretended to be impatient and said, “You’re not allowed to eat mushrooms later. Be careful that they might be poisonous.”

After saying that, Ye Siming squatted down and wiped Gu Nuo’er’s small hands clean with his sleeve.

Gu Nuo’er’s small face was fair and tender, and her black eyes were extraordinarily lively.

“I won’t eat it! This mushroom is poisonous. If I eat it, I’ll end up lying on a board. I’ll just keep it because it looks pretty.”

Ye Siming suddenly stopped in his tracks and pulled out an arrow from his back.

He whispered, “Shh, don’t talk.”

Gu Nuo’er quickly covered her mouth with her two small hands and looked around curiously.

Before she could see anything, Ye Siming had already nocked an arrow and aimed it at a dark place in the forest.

With a whoosh, the arrow left the bow!

Immediately after, there was the sound of wings flapping a few times but the creature failed to fly.

Ye Siming chuckled. “I caught it. Stay here, I’ll go get it.”

Gu Nuo’er nodded repeatedly and said in a soft voice, “Elder Brother Siming, what is it?! It sounds like it’s making a lot of noise! Is it a big bird?”

“It’s a pheasant.” Ye Siming walked into the forest.

After he entered the forest, Gu Nuo’er’s surroundings completely quietened down.

Only lonely cries from a wild duck came from afar.

In such a dark night, it made one feel very fl.u.s.tered and afraid.

However, Gu Nuo’er was not afraid at all. The child squatted down and fiddled with the gra.s.s on the ground.

At this moment, she heard faint footsteps behind her.

The child stood up and turned around. The forest was pitch-black and the moonlight could not illuminate this place.

She blinked her big eyes and looked around at the seemingly empty surroundings.

Gu Nuo’er suddenly said softly, her voice filled with childishness, “The uncle hiding behind the big tree on the left, are you playing hide-and-seek?”

The a.s.sa.s.sin behind the tree trembled.

His companions hiding in the bushes not far behind him looked at each other.

This little girl was not simple!

In such a dark forest, how could she see where their people were hiding without crying or making a fuss?

Lord Xue hid beside his companions and gritted his teeth as he looked at Gu Nuo’er’s figure.

It was her! She had embarra.s.sed his daughter!

The heavens were really helping him.

The little princess had only come out with one guard. If they didn’t a.s.sa.s.sinate her now, when would they?

At that time, even if the emperor turned this mountain forest upside down, he wouldn’t know that he was the one who did it.

The a.s.sa.s.sin hiding behind the tree was a little hesitant.

He had wanted to pounce over and stuff the child into a sack when she wasn’t paying attention.

However, who knew that she would be so vigilant?

He slowly walked out from behind the tree and smiled hypocritically.

“Little girl, Uncle is lost. Can you bring Uncle out?”
