Chapter 120 Return to the War Zone
As dawn broke and the first rays of sunlight began to paint a corner of the sky red, but Chu Qiuchi and Ji Moyu still had not returned, Puyang Minghui couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Although they went out together, no one could guarantee that nothing unexpected would happen along the way, after all, this was the perilous Aris Great Forest.
Seeing Puyang Minghui pacing back and forth anxiously looking around, Nalan Xingyao couldn't help but chuckle and shake her head. "Minghui, don't worry, they should be back soon. Don't you trust Qiuchi? Don't you trust Brother Yu? He always keeps his word."
Puyang Minghui sighed, put her hands on her hips, and said with a helpless tone, "You're right, Qiu Chi is unreliable, and Yu Ge is unreliable this time too. Why did he take Qiu Chi out for a walk in the middle of the night instead of sleeping? They've been gone for so long. If he hadn't sent a message, I would have thought they had disappeared."
Nalan Xingyao's lips curled up slightly, but she silently understood Ji Moyu's behavior: Brother Yu was feeling anxious and worried at the moment, so of course he needed someone he liked to accompany him to relax. This would effectively relieve his inner pain and depression.
Upon hearing this, Chu Yichen pursed his lips slightly and sighed, "Sigh, it's not Yu-ge's fault. After all, there's been no news from General Jimo for so long, he must have been worried sick, which is why he took my sister out for a walk to clear her head."
Hearing this, Puyang Minghui's lips drooped immediately. "Yes, I wonder how General Jimo is doing. If something really happened to him, what will Yu-ge do..."
Just as the group fell silent, Ao Nanxi's joyful voice suddenly rang out: "They're back! They're back!"
The group immediately turned around and saw Chu Qiuchi with a blank expression and a slightly tired face. Behind her, Ji Moyu seemed to be carrying something on his back. The two walked slowly together. The surrounding air seemed to relax slightly with their return.
Puyang Minghui breathed a sigh of relief when she saw them return and quickly went up to them: "Where did you go for a walk? We were all so worried about you for so long."
Chu Qiuchi thought to herself: What a joke, taking a walk, and I'm just fuming. She forced a smile and greeted the others, "It's okay, I'm back, don't worry."
"Brother Yu, what are you carrying on your back?" Chu Yichen asked curiously.
Everyone else turned to look at Ji Moyu curiously, but Chu Qiuchi silently turned her head to the side, refusing to look at him.
Seeing this, Ji Moyu looked at her with a complicated expression, opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.
Everyone else sensed the subtle atmosphere between the two, exchanged glances, and none of them dared to speak.
Nalan Xingyao gave Puyang Minghui a wink, signaling her to speak. Puyang Minghui hesitated slightly, then shook her head gently, turning her gaze to Chu Yichen beside her without any hesitation.
Noticing the subtle tension between them, Ao Nanxi and the others tacitly turned their gazes toward Chu Yichen.
Chu Yichen: "..."
He sighed silently, his gaze drifting to Ji Moyu beside him, then to Chu Qiuchi on the other side, thinking to himself: How come he came back like this after just a nice walk? I wonder what Yu-ge did to offend my sister.
He cleared his throat and gave a slightly awkward laugh. "Uh, now that you're all back, shouldn't we..."
Feeling the gazes around him, Chu Qiuchi felt another surge of anger rising within him. After calming down slightly, he said, "There's no need to go. We found General Ji Mo, who was seriously injured and unconscious, while we were out for a walk. We've already brought him back."
"What? Could it be that Brother Yu is carrying General Jimo on his back?" Puyang Minghui exclaimed in surprise, his eyes flashing with excitement, and he almost jumped up.
Ji Moyu nodded silently, "Mm!"
Upon receiving Ji Moyu's affirmative answer, Puyang Minghui was overjoyed and couldn't help but dance with excitement: "Great! We've finally found General Ji Moyu!"
Chu Yichen's lips unconsciously curled up, and her big, almond-shaped eyes narrowed into slits with laughter: "Yes, that's great! You sisters are really amazing. You can even find General Jimo while just going for a walk."
Nalan Xingyao, Ao Nanxi, and the others also smiled. At this moment, all the anxiety and unease in everyone's hearts were swept away after hearing this good news.
However, the subtle atmosphere between Chu Qiuchi and Ji Moyu remained unresolved. Although everyone's attention was temporarily focused on General Ji Moyu, the estrangement and silence between the two remained an unsolved mystery.
Seeing everyone so happy, Chu Qiuchi also twitched the corners of his mouth, glanced at Ji Moyu, and said lightly, "Your Yu-ge is the best. If he hadn't gone out for a walk, we still wouldn't be able to find him right now!"
Hearing her slightly sarcastic words, Ji Moyu stiffened slightly. Chu Yichen seemed oblivious, still smiling as she said, "You two are both amazing. It must be you, sister, who brought good luck to brother Yu!"
Puyang Minghui and Nalan Xingyao chimed in, trying to smooth things over: "Yes, yes, it must be Qiu Chi who brought you good luck."
Seeing how they were trying to smooth things over, Chu Qiuchi's anger subsided a bit. "Alright, I'm not a lucky charm, I don't get any good fortune from you. Now that General Ji Mo has been found, let's return to the war zone and send him back as soon as possible."
……
Back in the war zone, as soon as the vehicle came to a stop, Ji Mosen, who had been waiting outside, hurried up, his face filled with worry and urgency. The moment he saw General Ji Mo on Ji Moyu's back, he immediately asked, "How is he? Is he alright?"
Chu Qiuchi smiled and reassured him, "Don't worry, Commander, he's alright! His injuries have all been treated with medicine, he's just still unconscious. But don't worry, he should wake up soon!" In her heart, however, she secretly prayed: she hoped Long Yueze hadn't gone too far, otherwise, it would be difficult to explain when General Ji Mo woke up!
Hearing this, Ji Mosen breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression softened. The group carefully escorted General Ji Mosen into his tent and settled him in properly before they were finally at ease.
After they came out, Chu Qiuchi walked up to Ao Nanxi and gently patted her on the shoulder, smiling as he said, "Nanxi, you've really worked hard this time, traveling with us for more than ten days. Go back and get some rest later."
Ao Nanxi glanced at her sideways, a light smile appearing on his face: "Alright, finding General Jimo is also part of our mission. Besides, General Jimo is such an outstanding talent, even if it weren't for the mission, we would still hope he would be safe and sound. We would be happy to do our part and see him return safely!"
"Haha, as expected of our empire's third princess, her words are so pleasant to hear..."
