In a faraway country called Da Cheng .

Jiang Mingyue panted as she ran downhill . Her legs were getting tired from running up the hill . Something went past her . Her eyes widened when she saw an arrow stuck on the tree . "They're shooting at us!" She glanced at the man beside her angrily when she heard his merry laugh .

"We stole something valuable from them," Jiang Xiao Liang said . Of course, they're angry . "

Mingyue sneered . "Third brother! This won't happen if you were more cautious . Now we are forced to leave this place without even getting our hand on that herbs . "

"We'll come back again . " Xiao Liang said . "We'll be more prepared . "

"So will them . They will be guarding the herbs tightly after this . " She glanced at their pursuers .

Xiao Liang laughed again . "Keep running and stop talking . "

Jiang Mingyue gritted her teeth as she complied . Then, she noticed that something was missing . "Have you seen Xiao Mi?"

Her third brother raised a brow . "That black cat? Don't worry about him . He'll be safe . He's just a cat . "

"We need to split up," Xiao Liang said after a few more arrow went passed them . "I'll meet you up at the foothill . " With that, he moved to his right and disappeared behind the trees .

Mingyue grunted as she sensed that half of their pursuer went after Xiao Liang . She heard a sound coming from behind them and moved slightly to her left, but her movement was a bit too late .

An arrow struck to her right arms . She clenched her teeth and held the weapon to stop it from moving around as she increased her speed .

It was in autumn . The weather was too hot, and the leaves have started to fall . Whenever they stepped on the fallen leaves, they would make a rustling sound, causing it hard for her to hide her presence from their pursuer .

She glanced behind to take a look around and once she was sure that the people who were left behind, only then she sneaked behind a tree .

She broke the arrow tail and held a hand on her chest, wanting to calm down . She can't be safe until she gets out from the hill . Only then will she be able to remove the arrow .

Just as she hid, she saw a shadow flew towards her direction . "Xiao Mi! You're here!" she hissed through her teeth .

The shadow flew towards her, and a cat landed on her arm with his nails gripping on her cloth .

In the cat's mouth was a small pouch .

Her eyes twinkled as she saw it . She peeked into the bag and smiled . It was the pouch she dropped while they ran away .

"You got them! Good job, Xiao Mi!" Her voice was hushed . She patted the cat on its head and pulled out a bag of treat from her pocket as a reward .
