Li Cangmin pursed his lips tightly and glared at her with monstrous anger. "You didn't even throw your life away just to be angry with this king?"

Murong Ling lowered her hand, she did not open her eyes, and replied depressingly, "You were angry with me."

"Do you know why This King is angry?" Li Cangmin pulled her face right off, and seeing her at a loss, he became even more furious, "Have you, time and time again, disregarded the dangers of your life, and if an accident happened, have you ever thought about how this king would feel?"

Murong Ling was stunned, she did not think that the reason he was angry was because of this, the reason why she climbed up the cliff to sneak attack him was not because she hurt his so-called self-esteem, but because she was afraid of something happening to her?

In her previous life, she had fought fiercely, fought against the heavens, fought against people, and was in constant danger. Adventuring was a common occurrence, so she didn't think much of it. The elders were satisfied with her, and the clansmen trusted her. From beginning to end, she was never afraid of danger, and only then could she live up to their expectations.

Now that time had changed, there was actually someone who was worried about her adventure.

Murong Ling felt a sense of novelty and warmth in her heart, as well as an indescribable feeling, like a snowy jade that was about to bubble. It expanded to the point that it was about to overflow, and thousands of words spread across her heart. She did not know what to say, but in the end, she only gave a solemn promise, "I will not make you worry anymore next time."

"There won't be a next time."

Li Cangmin said straightforwardly, but his face still carried a bit of anger, "If I didn't come back, you would already be dead."

Murong Ling lowered her head to reflect on herself, her heart still throbbing with fear. Li Cangmin held her tightly in her arms, trying to calm her anger from seeing her fall off the cliff. He frowned slightly, her gaze heavy and no one could tell what he was thinking about at this moment.

That was the end of their cold war.

The Imperial Sword Technique flew, and in the blink of an eye, it leapt over the thousand meter high cliff, landing at the bottom of the cliff on the other side. At the bottom of the cliff, there was a dense forest. The duo only found fragments of the horse carriage, but did not see Bai Mu and Leng Qiu's figures.

Could it be that the two of them didn't fall off the cliff?

Murong Ling used the Spiritual Sense to search the bottom of the cliff once, confirming that there was no one or any corpses, and then looked at Li Cangmin. He looked at the cliff face where she was looking at, it was the cliff where Bai Mu and Leng Qiu were suspected to have fallen.

"You suspect they're still hanging up there?" Knowing that he still hadn't completely forgiven her, Murong Ling's voice still carried an undetectable wariness and flattery.

Li Cangmin looked at her but did not reveal her thoughts. He nodded and wanted to go up to check, but just as he raised his sword, he saw Murong Ling staring at him anxiously. Her body froze as she reached out to grab her in her embrace and started to fly up.

Murong Ling was a little uneasy in her heart, it seemed that raising her cultivation was a must, if not she would not be able to climb the mountain with her bare hands.

It was enough to experience danger once.

As the Flying Sword slowly flew up, Murong Ling suppressed the waves in her heart and started to look for people on the cliff. The cliff face was covered with climbing vines, and occasionally, a cliff tree would appear. There was no one at the bottom of the cliff. They might be climbing a tree.

As if in response to her guess, they flew for another fifteen minutes and sure enough, discovered Bai Mu and Leng Qiu who were hanging on the tree. However, the two of them were not in a good situation. The roots were already beginning to loosen up, so they couldn't hold on for much longer.

Bai Mu and Leng Qiu were both injured, their bodies in a sorry state as they looked worriedly at the roots. At this time, Leng Qiu suddenly spoke up, "This tree can no longer support us."

Bai Mu was startled, he did not know what she meant by that, but Leng Qiu looked at him before standing up and jumping down.

"Leng Qiu!"

"Leng Qiu!"

Murong Ling's heart suddenly stopped. Only when she saw Bai Mu grabbing onto Leng Qiu quickly, did she finally heave a sigh of relief and urged Li Cangmin, "Hurry, go save him."

Bai Mu had just heard a woman's voice, but was too busy trying to save others to take care of them. When he finally caught Leng Qiu, he looked up, only to realize that the master and the wangfei who were riding on the sword were actually here. His mouth was wide open in shock, and he almost threw Leng Qiu, who was in her hands.

"Mistress?"

He felt like he was hallucinating because of his fatigue. How could his master fly on a sword? Wasn't this the ability of a legendary immortal?

"Come up!"

Leng Qiu had already placed Leng Qiu onto the sword, while Bai Mu continued to watch dumbfoundedly. She did not move at all, Li Cangmin frowned in displeasure, and immediately woke Bai Mu up, not daring to delay any further. Even if it was a dream, master's orders must come true even after death.

Bai Mu carefully stepped on it and discovered that it was real. He didn't dream of falling a thousand miles with a single step, but rather pinched himself hard to realize that he wasn't dreaming.

It was true that he had fallen down the cliff, that he had hung on a tree, that his master had stepped on a Flying Sword and stepped on a auspicious cloud to save him. At this moment, he no longer knew whether he should be shocked or moved. His eyes were wide open, and his eternally stiff coffin face was cracked inch by inch; his expression was indescribable.

After holding it in for a long time, he finally couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart. He risked his life to ask, "Mistress, in these few days, have you and Royal Concubine gone to seek the Immortal Seeking Palace?" Otherwise, how could he have disappeared for a few days and become an immortal just by coming back?

Li Cangmin did not answer and only glanced at him indifferently. Bai Mu immediately shivered as all his curiosity and doubt disappeared back into his stomach.

Murong Ling didn't notice the battle between the master and servant at the side. Looking at Leng Qiu who was still in a state of shock, she felt the same way, since she had only experienced a moment of life and death, so she comforted her softly, "Don't worry, she's fine now."

"Mistress?" Hearing her voice, Leng Qiu regained her senses, "Why are you here?"

"I heard that you and Bai Mu were ambushed, my lord and I came to look for you."

Hearing Murong Ling's explanation, Leng Qiu was immediately moved. Although master's personal guard name sounded nice, it wasn't worth her life and it could change anywhere, anytime. She had long put life and death outside of her consideration, and didn't hope to have a good end at all.

Although this fall was unexpected, it was within reason. She was already prepared to die, she didn't expect her master to come find her and save her from danger.

Her eyes brimmed with tears of passion, but she was still concerned about Murong Ling's safety, "A noble man does not put himself in danger, this subordinate is only a lowly person, and is not worth Master's risk."

Hearing that, Murong Ling was both moved and amused, Leng Qiu had not figured out the situation, "Look, there's no danger right now."

Li Cangmin glanced at her, and surprisingly, he could see the intent behind her eyes. He couldn't help but feel guilty, she had almost fallen off the cliff just now, and now that she was showing such disrespect in front of his subordinates, he was indeed suspicious of her.
