There were quite a few capable people among those searching for Jiang Qin.
Someone quickly tracked them to this area and clashed with the members of Fox Ear.
When they failed to find Jiang Qin by nightfall, Fox Ear knew they had lost their chance to complete the mission.
A mighty dragon can't crush a local snake.
They couldn't go up against the other party's main force; otherwise, not only would they fail the mission, but they probably wouldn't be able to escape either.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, their leader had no choice but to retreat with his men.
Jiang Qin was still in the cave, not even daring to conjure a light. She could only remain vigilant of her surroundings and force herself to stay awake.
From time to time, she sent a rat out to patrol and observe the area.
Thankfully, there was never anyone there.
She didn't completely trust Xie An'an, either. After all, selling her out would probably fetch a high price, so she remained on guard.
