The lush vegetation and entwined vines in the forest posed no obstacle for Qiao Xuan. She effortlessly maneuvered through, avoiding snakes, ants, poisonous insects, and wild beasts with ease.
In a mere two hours, Qiao Xuan reached Xie Jingrong.
Xie Jingrong truly came to the mountains to savor the scenery. Over the past two years, he had traversed numerous mountains, rivers, famed historical sites, and uncharted forests. His journey held no specific purpose; he did as he pleased.
Xie Dong and Xie Xi had already set up a fire, cheerfully roasting two pheasants they had caught. Simultaneously, they boiled soup in a medium-sized clay jar.
Unaccustomed to hunting, the two hadn't captured these pheasants. Their swiftness was notable, but hunting remained beyond their skills. Another servant, Xie Miao, had taken care of that.
