Li Nantian and Zhou Shaogong exchanged a glance and quickly responded, “We know what to do. Don’t worry, Madam. It’s just that Master seems to disagree with you on going to Black Wind Mountain?”

Lu Jiao looked at Li Nantian and Zhou Shaogong seriously, “Don’t worry, I will convince him to let me accompany him to Black Wind Mountain.”

Li Nantian and Zhou Shaogong then spoke in a low voice, “Madam, let’s depart immediately.”

“Alright.”

Lu Jiao boarded the carriage carrying Xie Yunjin. Zhou Shaogong steered the carriage, and Li Nantian sat beside him. The carriage quickly left Qinghe County and headed towards Black Wind Mountain.

On the way, Zhou Shaogong briefly explained the situation of Black Wind Mountain to Lu Jiao.

“Although I haven’t been to Black Wind Mountain before, my family is in the neighboring county next to Qinghe County, so I know about Black Wind Mountain. It used to be a refuge for bandits, who would hide on the mountain and rob nearby villagers and travelers. In the earlier years, these bandits were extremely arrogant. However, as Qinghe County became impoverished and the nearby villagers had nothing worth stealing, and the passing travelers were also poor and had no money to rob, the number of bandits on Black Wind Mountain decreased.

The last bandit is gone, and they have all found other ways to make a living. Now Black Wind Mountain is an empty mountain stronghold. The mountain is not high, but the terrain is very dangerous. You both need to be careful when going up the mountain.”

Lu Jiao was about to speak when Xie Yunjin woke up inside the carriage. He opened his eyes and called out with a grievance, “Lu Jiao.”

This woman was truly audacious. She actually drugged him to make him unconscious in order to go to Black Wind Mountain with him.

Xie Yunjin felt both worried and annoyed as he glared at Lu Jiao.

Lu Jiao smiled at him, and since she was already here, it wouldn’t be good to send her back halfway. If he sent her back now, they wouldn’t be able to save the Second Born in time.

Seeing Lu Jiao’s smile, Xie Yunjin helplessly reached out and pinched her face.

Lu Jiao froze, and Xie Yunjin didn’t retract his hand. He stubbornly continued to pinch her face. He had wanted to do this for a long time, and now he finally had the opportunity.

Inside the carriage, Lu Jiao regained her senses and slapped away Xie Yunjin’s hand, making sure he wasn’t taking advantage of her.

Xie Yunjin smiled, and under the dim and yellowish light, his handsome features seemed to be adorned with a hazy halo. He was no longer as aloof and cold as before. Instead, he was full of charm. His eyes, filled with a mesmerizing depth, gazed at Lu Jiao as he lightly called out.

“Lu Jiao.”

Lu Jiao turned her head and found that he didn’t say anything else. He immediately followed up with another call, “Lu Jiao.”

Lu Jiao glared at him in anger. What was wrong with him? Calling her for no reason.

“If there’s something, say it. Don’t call me for no reason.”

Xie Yunjin, with a mesmerizing smile, murmured, “I just want to call you like this. ”

In fact, he wanted to call her like how other people do.

Jiaojiao.

Xie Yunjin thought that if he successfully rescued the Second Born this time and returned safely, he would call her that as many times as he wanted. he didn’t care what she thought.

Inside the carriage, Lu Jiao listened to Xie Yunjin’s words, turned her head, leaned against the carriage wall, and pretended to ignore Xie Yunjin.

Xie Yuniin wasn’t angry either. He still looked at Lu Jiao with a tender gaze and said, “Lu Jiao, you are the best mother in the world. Sometimes I wonder why I didn’t meet such a good mother when I was young.

Did you know that my mother never hugged me when I was young? Whenever she looked at me, her eyes were filled with disdain, as if she wished I were dead.

When I was young, my favorite thing to do was to hide in a secluded place and observe how other mothers cared for their children. When I saw those children being embraced by their mothers, I couldn’t help but wish that they were my mother. Secretly, I tell you, countless times, dark thoughts arose in my heart. I thought of killing those mothers and making those children, like me, devoid of maternal love.

Later, my heart grew colder and colder, devoid of any emotional fluctuations. At that time, I had only one thought: I must study hard, succeed in my studies, become an official, and make my father and mother regret how they treated me when I was young. I want to see them remorseful and in tears, for the way they mistreated me in the past.

Later, when I achieved success in my studies, my father and mother finally treated me with kindness. I thought they had finally acknowledged me…”

Xie Yunjin paused for a moment and suddenly burst into laughter. Lu Jiao knew that he was thinking about his experience when he was bedridden and couldn’t help but open her eyes and look at him.

“The past is gone, and the future will be better,” Lu Jiao said to him.

Upon hearing Lu Jiao’s words, Xie Yunjin immediately agreed with confidence, “Yes, the future will be better.

Because I met you. You taught me to approach things with a positive mindset, to be kind to the weak, and to see things with a bright heart.”

Jiaojiao, if I come back safely this time, I will definitely tell you that I want to keep you by my side.

Xie Yunjin closed his eyes and leaned against the carriage wall.

Lu Jiao thought he had fallen asleep and closed her eyes to rest as well.

The carriage sped along the road and arrived at Black Wind Mountain just before midnight.

Black Wind Mountain was quite far from Qinghe County, and due to its terrain, crops couldn’t grow there. It appeared desolate and barren at first glance.

Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao stepped down from the carriage with a lantern in hand. Li Nantian and Zhou Shaogong accompanied them and stood at the foot of the mountain as they looked up at its peak.

Upon closer inspection, they saw that Black Wind Mountain was extremely treacherous. In the dark night, it resembled a ferocious beast, with the mountain pass resembling a giant mouth, as if it intended to devour anyone below.

Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao were standing at the foot of the mountain, looking downward, when they suddenly noticed a light flickering halfway up the mountain. The light swayed towards the foot of the mountain.

Recognizing that the person under the light was the one who kidnapped the Second Born and attempted to assassinate Xie Yunjin, Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao didn’t make a move. They wouldn’t go up the mountain unless they were certain the Second Born was on this mountain.

The person on the mountain waited for a while, clearly growing impatient. Under the cover of darkness, a black-clothed figure swiftly descended using the trees on the mountain, making their way towards Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao.

However, the person didn’t approach Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao directly. Instead, they stopped on the opposite side of the mountain path and shouted at them.

“Xie Yunjin, hurry up and come up the mountain. If you don’t, we’ll kill your son.”

Upon hearing this, Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao’s hearts clenched, their faces turning unsightly. They felt intense hatred in their hearts.

Both of them made a silent vow that one day they would eliminate all the members of the four influential families.

Xie Yunjin coldly stared at the black-clad person across from him and said, “I came here to retrieve my son. Until I’m certain that my son is on this mountain, I won’t go up. I won’t foolishly let you kill me and my son. If you want me to come up, have my son call for me. If I confirm that my son is in your hands, I will immediately go up the mountain..”
