However, the ghosts didn't dare to approach her and only followed her from a distance, as if they were waiting for an opportunity.

What Wanyan Qianhua, who was in a state of depression, didn't know was that at a distance somewhere behind her was Jun Jueshang dressed in white, watching her quietly. The trees hid his figure and his restrained breath didn't disturb her. 

Jun Jueshang frowned slightly as he looked at the woman walking in the rain looking like a mess, his eyes fell on her complex expression. 

He watched as she walked step by step, letting the rain fall on her body. Her dress was drenched from the rain and stuck to her body, while the hem of her dress was stained from the muddy water and dirty from the ground. She looked like an awkward mess. 

In the past, she always looked glamorous, charming and wanton, he had never seen her look so devastated and sad. As he looked at her now in her current state, he didn't know why, but he felt a little uncomfortable. 

The ghosts who were following Wanyan Qianhua were startled by Jun Jueshang's arrival and quietly dispersed, not daring to stay any longer. At this time, because of the increasingly heavy rain, the dirt on the mountain road was slippery. Wanyan Qianhua slipped accidentally and her weak body fell down on the side of the mountain road. 

At that moment, Jun Jueshang wanted to step forward instinctively to hold her. However, for some reason, he retracted his steps. He frowned and looked at her. He watched her for a while as she sat on the ground without moving, her body swayed slightly. Just when he couldn't help himself and was about to go forward, he saw that she had stood up while using the trees around her to support herself, then she continued to walk down the mountain road step by step. 

As he watched her awkward figure gradually walking away, he looked at her with deep complex eyes, but he didn't go forward. Instead, he followed her at a distance from behind the whole way. 

During the night, when some fierce beasts who had come out to hunt approached her, they retreated quietly when he noticed him. It was because of this that she was not attacked by wild beasts or the like at any point, even in the middle of the night. 

When she came out of the forest and came to the foot of the mountain road, due to her broken heart and coupled by being exposed to the elements of the wind and rain all night, she was finally unable to hold on anymore, and after she took a few steps, she staggered and passed out.

When he saw that she was about to fall, the white figure appeared suddenly and caught her. Jun Jueshang looked at Wanyan Qianhua, who was unconscious. His expression was cold and his lips pursed. Finally, he picked her up and walked towards the houses at the bottom of the mountain. 

There was a knock on the door at the house in front of the mountain in the middle of the night. The couple who had been sleeping got up and put their robes on, then shouted in displeasure: "Who is it? What are you doing here so late?"

They shouted as they walked to the door. However, they didn't open the door but looked through the crack of the door first. When they saw the white-clothed Jun Jueshang outside, the couple were startled and opened the door at once. 

"Master? Why are you here?"

The middle-aged man recognised Jun Jueshang. When he saw that it was still raining and that he was carrying a drenched woman in red clothes standing by the door, he invited them in immediately. 

Jun Jueshang walked in with Wanyan Qianhua in his arms and asked: "Where can I rest?"

"Over here, over here. There is a room at the back." The middle-aged man led the way to the back immediately and said to his wife: "Quick! Go and make a bowl of ginger soup for the girl to expel the cold from her body."
