Xiaoyi was startled by the sudden opening of the door. She tightened her hand around Lu Yi.
"Welcome, a lady wearing a veil said and she lead Xiaoyi and Lu Yi inside.
It was so dusty that Xiaoyi began to cough frantically.
"Are you here to pray for marriage,
the lady wearing veil said politely.
"Our parents are opposing our marriage so I thought that as long as I can get a marriage talisman from here, our parents might concede, Xiaoyi said pretending to be sad.
"Miss, we no longer involve ourselves in marriage or matchmaking, the lady said.
"Then what do you do now then, Lu Yi asked.
"It seems you guys didn't come for marriage as well, the lady said changing her tone almost immediately.
The door suddenly close from behind and Xiaoyi and Lu Yi subconsciously looked back.
"Since you already know what we do, why bother asking, the lady said and immediately turned her sword towards Xiaoyi and Lu Yi.
Xiaoyi tried explaining but the lady seems determined to kill them.
Xiaoyi and Lu Yi dodged the lady's sharp sword.
They quickly summoned their sword and began to fight against the lady.
The lady sword slash the door and she immediately pushed Xiaoyi outside with force.
Lu Yi also flew out to pursue the lady.
Suddenly three other ladies also came out and they soon surrounded Xiaoyi and Lu Yi.
After a while, the lady pushed Xiaoyi off the mountain. Xiaoyi stretched her hand forth and Lu Yi immediately grabbed her hand.
Lu Yi in attempt to drag Xiaoyi's hand fell together with her. The lady slashed Lu Yi's back before the two finally fell together.
"Ah, Xiaoyi screamed as he tightened her hand around Lu Yi's body.
Lu Yi just closed his eyes as the momentum increased. They finally landed after a while.
"We survived, Xiaoyi exclaimed happily.
She thought they were going to die from the fall.
"Are you okay, Xiaoyi asked as Lu Yi's face turn pale.
Xiaoyi noticed Lu Yi bleeding back.
"Turn around, Xiaoyi said with genteel voice.
Lu Yi was quite obedient and turned almost immediately.
Xiaoyi only managed to bandage the wound when she then noticed where they were.
They were in a dark cave. The cave was so dim that Xiaoyi could not even see Lu Yi's face clearly.
"Let see if we can see firewood around, Lu Yi said and struggled to stand up.
"Why don't you rest for a while, you are injured, Xiaoyi said with concern.
"Why don't I go fetch it then, Xiaoyi said when she noticed Lu Yi's hesitation.
"Let's go together then, Xiaoyi suggested since Lu Yi was not ready to budge.
"It seems someone had once lived here, Xiaoyi said as she grabbed a blanket and some firewood.
Lu Yi used stone to prepare the fire.
"Do you think Liao Man and Liu Jin can find us, Xiaoyi asked as she warm her hand in front of the firewood.
"No, they may not, Lu Yi responded.
It was true. The percentage of survival was really slim. There was no food available nor water. Even safety is not guaranteed. Liao Man and Liu Jin could never think they fell off the mountain.
"Yes, you are right, Xiaoyi said with a sad smile.
She hasn't visited her father for a while and she was going to die here. Her father was really pitiful.
"But maybe, we can find a way out, Lu Yi said and fainted.
"Are you okay, Xiaoyi asked worriedly but received no response.
Xiaoyi noticed Lu Yi was cold.
She then started warming Lu Yi's hand.
After a while, Xiaoyi fell asleep.

Liao Man and Liu Jin were looking for Xiaoyi and Lu Yi.
"Princess is missing, what should I do, Liao Man said with red eyes. She was on the brink of tears.
''As long as my young master is alive, your princess will be okay, Liu Jin said trying to calm Liao Man down.
Deep down, he was extremely worried.
''Liao Man, listen to me. Young Master left us here in case something like this happens. So, go back to the inn. I will look for them, Liu Jin said.
"No, I can't go back. I need to look for them myself, Liao Man said with a choked voice.
They then decided to go look for Xiaoyi and Lu Yi together.
At Qing Yu Mountain, Liu Jin and Liao Man entered suspiciously.
"Are you here to pray for marriage, a lady said with a smile which startled Liu Jin and Liao Man.
