Mu Qian knew what she was looking for; she was searching for a book of handwritten notes—it was these very notes that she had chased into the cave. That book might contain secrets about the Blood Oath, which was why she was so anxious, disregarding even her own life.
Watching Wen Jiaren's body sway as if about to fall, his heart felt as if it were being cut by a knife.
He pretended to know nothing and carried water towards her, "What are you looking for?"
Wen Jiaren, hearing his voice, pulled her thoughts back and didn't answer him. She took the water and drank, the sweet and cool lake water somewhat relieved the pain in her chest. She whispered a "thank you" to him.
Mu Qian saw her pallid lips and the back of her bleeding hand, and suddenly, he bent down and picked her up from the ground.
