After determining their direction, Ye Qichi and Xiao Jinxing walked together through the jungle.
"You said someone was coming." Ye Qichi suddenly spoke up.
"Yeah." Clearly, in addition to the assassins' group, there were other people in the jungle as well.
"Who could it be?" Ye Qichi frowned.
"Perhaps it's Yuan Wenkang." Xiao Jinxing speculated, "After killing the assassin, he would come looking for us."
Ye Qichi nodded in agreement, thinking that the guess was very likely.
"Should we leave a secret sign for him to find us?" Ye Qichi asked.
"No need." Xiao Jinxing decisively said, "Leaving clues for him is like leaving clues for the assassins."
Makes sense.
Ye Qichi had no more to say.
The thought that someone might come to their aid still provided some comfort.
They walked for an entire day.
They only ate some wild berries on the way.
Finally emerging from the jungle, they then saw a village.
"Should we seek lodging?" Ye Qichi asked.
