章節 1688: Staring At Her As If She Was A Sheep Ready To Be Slaughtered

To avoid being found by Chu Qi and the others, Ji'er chose a route through the mountains.

She had no idea where she was going or where exactly she was.

She continued roaming, passing mountain after mountain and meeting many people along the way. If she was lucky, she would come across a small town where she could find an inn to stay; if she was not, she would find herself in the middle of nowhere at nightfall and end up spending the night in a tree or the occasional deserted temple.

One day, she arrived in an unknown wilderness. It was getting dark, and there happened to be an abandoned temple nearby, so she decided to spend the night there.

However, when she entered, she realized that it was already occupied.

Three young beggars dressed in scraps were warming themselves by a fire. They were startled to see Ji'er walk in, but when their eyes fell on the cloth bundle she was carrying, a greedy thought occurred to them.
