Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant novel Chapter 167

Chapter 167: Chapter 167 Assisting in the Shadows

Yunyi used a dagger to cut the ropes binding their hands and feet. "Yes, it’s me. We’ll talk when it’s safe."

Qiao Wenyu’s face burned with shame. If it weren’t for my arrogance, for not listening to others’ advice, for insisting on leading them into the deep mountains, they wouldn’t have fallen into such perilous straits. It would have been one thing if only I had gotten into trouble, but I nearly cost the lives of my good friends and the person I like!

Their hands and feet had been bound for so long they were somewhat unresponsive.

Yunyi noticed someone moving in their direction and hurriedly called out to the three, "Quickly, find a place to hide! We can’t fall into those people’s hands again."

Wei Zijia couldn’t even think of crying anymore. She tried her best to calm down, struggling to get up from the ground using her hands and feet.

Yunyi actually quite liked this girl; she appeared soft and delicate, but she wasn’t brainless.

She extended a hand to help her. "Follow me."

The three followed Yunyi with faltering steps towards a large tree nearby.

With Yunyi’s help, she got all three of them up a lush, leafy tree. Then, she passed them the remaining food from her backpack. "Replenish your strength first, and make sure not to make any noise."

Qiao Wenyu knew it wasn’t the time to be overly polite. "Chu Zhiqing, words can’t express our gratitude. We already owed you several favors, so owing a few more doesn’t make much difference."

He accepted the food from Yunyi’s hands. "Thanks."

As Yunyi turned, Qiao Wenyu asked anxiously, "Where are you going?"

In a soft voice, Yunyi replied, "To help them."

With that, she turned and headed back the way they came.

He was too embarrassed to say, You’ll just be a hindrance. After all, he was in no position to criticize others now.

She had originally planned to go up the mountain to gather forest goods after autumn. She didn’t want to reveal her martial arts skills to outsiders, and this slingshot would make some things easier to explain. She hadn’t expected it to be useful so soon.
