"We misheard," Yu Zhen informed Xiao Lizi. He approached his horse and reached for the reins but she snorted in protest.
"What is it?" Yu Zhen demanded in an impatient tone. He needed to find Xueyue as soon as possible. Even a minute in this rain was dangerous for her.
Xiao Lizi cocked her head and approached the small cave a bit. Lowering her head, she began to nudge her face towards the entrance.
"No, we can't take shelter," Yu Zhen responded. With his gloved hands, he grabbed her reins and began to guide her away, but then he heard something. There was the slightest clink of metal, similar to the sound made by the pedals of a saddle.
Yu Zhen felt like something was off. He was hesitant at first, but then decided to explore the small cave a bit more. The opening might be small, but he had ventured inside before.
