Lin Chujiu, who was hiding in the bushes, didn’t know that she had offended the Dongyang family before she arrived in the Central Empire. If she knew it, she would have vomited blood with anger.

Obviously, she didn’t do anything, so why did the brother and sister blame her?

Moreover, she didn’t blame the siblings for bringing the big python out which almost killed her. So why do the siblings blame her?

She has the ability to protect herself under the pursuit of that big python, but it doesn’t mean that she has the ability to save people. Even if she has the ability, so what? Which law stipulates that she must come forward to rescue people when she sees them in danger? And even at the cost of her own life?

She didn’t break the law when she didn’t come out to help. At most, she will be morally condemned. But if she will throw away her life for the sake of this word ‘moral condemnation, then would she be worthy of her family and friends that care for her? Will be she be worthy of the parents who gave birth to her?

Well, although she has no family here, she can’t do something like sacrificing herself to save others. Although it sounded very selfish, she doesn’t owe anyone. She can’t even protect herself well, so what can she do to save others?

Their life was their life, but her life is not her?

Lin Chujiu firmly believed that it was not wrong that she didn’t save the brother and sister, so she wouldn’t blame herself for it. The siblings sent themselves in front of that big python. They had to bear the consequences for that.

No matter how fierce the fighting outside was, Lin Chujiu ignored it. She simply stayed calmly in the bushes, then watched the siblings leave and quietly waited for Anpu to lead someone to find her.

As Lin Chujiu expected, Anpu brought people over a quarter of an hour later. When their group smelled the scent of blood from a distance, each of them turned pale in fright. They started shouting from a distance, “Wangfei, wangfei, are you okay?”

“Wangfei, where are you?”

When Lin Chujiu heard the voice, she crawled out of the bushes and shouted, “I’m here, I’m alright!”

When Anpu heard the voice, they rushed over and saw Lin Chujiu who was intact. Anpu breathed a sigh of relief: “Wangfei, it’s good you’re alright. We smelled blood and thought you had an accident.”

“It’s someone else blood. It has nothing to do with us.” Lin Chujiu waved her hand and didn’t talk more about it. She pointed to the things in the bushes and said: “Take those things and then we will go.”

“Yes.” Anpu motioned to the guard to step forward, while he guarded Lin Chujiu, for fear of Lin Chujiu getting into an accident.

Heavens know that they were so scared just now when they smelled the blood.

If Lin Chujiu had an accident because of their late arrival, their wangye would definitely hack them to death.

The soldiers moved forward silently. They didn’t ask how the medicinal materials were preserved so well in the wilderness, nor did they ask why the traces on the ground seemed new. After getting the things out of the forest, their group immediately left.

At the same time, Xiao Tianyao, who was in the army also received the news that Lin Chujiu had returned without incident.

“Benwang thought you would use this opportunity to leave.” Xiao Tianyao tapped his finger on the table like usual, but it was a lot lighter than before. The corner of his lips also curved a bit which made his cold and indifferent face looked soft.

He was very happy that Lin Chujiu didn’t take this opportunity to escape and came back obediently, even if she didn’t say anything.

Lin Chujiu left and came back in a hurry. She returned to the barracks at noon the next day. Su Cha personally came out to pick up people. But before he could ask if he should put things in Xiao Tianyao’s camp, Lin Chujiu said: “Arrange a separate camp for me so I can put these things and rest.” Obviously, she doesn’t want to sleep with Xiao Tianyao.
