Before setting out, Jiang Qingli received a message from Ye Linyuan on her terminal.
There were no extraneous words, just a single, concise set of coordinates.
Jiang Qingli didn't know the way outside, so after entering the forest, she gave the coordinates to Yi Nuo.
'It's a little strange for a set of coordinates to just pop up like this.' Jiang Qingli had already prepared an excuse, but Yi Nuo didn't ask any questions. He just nodded. "Alright."
Jiang Qingli recalled that Yi Nuo never seemed to question her words. Whatever she said, he did, as if he were born to obey her every command.
The midnight forest was silent. The two of them moved with almost no sound, save for the occasional RUSTLE of their combat uniforms brushing against the leaves of a bush.
Afraid of startling any beasts, they didn't use any lights, pressing forward by the light of the moon.
As they neared a lake, Yi Nuo raised a hand protectively in front of Jiang Qingli.
