"Be good, don't stay there; the sun is too intense." With blood-stained sweat trickling into his mouth, Gu Yuheng tasted something salty, a bit coppery, a bit astringent.
He licked his somewhat dry lips, gathered a bit of strength, and then continued to instruct, "I remember there's a tree by the cliff. If I'm not mistaken, it should be a bit to your left. Go wait for me under that tree."
Gu Yuheng probably knew that if he asked Chuxia to wait for him on the inner side of the mountain path, she would surely refuse, which is why he instead asked her to wait under the tree.
Although that tree was also on the edge of the cliff, it was about a meter away from the cliff edge, relatively speaking, safer.
Chuxia turned her head and indeed noticed the large tree Gu Yuheng mentioned on the left. The tree was only about four or five meters away from her current position, but she had failed to notice it earlier due to her heightened state of tension.
