"Xiao Mi, slow down!" Jiang Mingyue raised her voice a bit . She trailed after the black cat heading deeper into the woods and heaved a sigh when the black cat finally stopped .
The black cat turned his head to Mingyue . He blinked his eyes lazily and meowed as if saying that Mingyue was too slow .
Mingyue let out a small chuckle as she watched the black cat's movement . "Alright . You go and scout the area first and come back when you found something . "
Xiao Mi lowered his head to lick his fur . He raised his head and meowed . Then he ran deeper into the woods .

She turned around to look at Yang Yun who chose to walk behind her .
"Are you tired?" Yang Yun asked when he noticed Mingyue was looking at him .
Mingyue shook her head and smiled . She waited until Yang Yun reached beside her .
"I can help you carry your bag," Yang Yun said as he eyed the small sack hanging on Mingyue's shoulder .
"It's fine . It's not heavy since it's empty . " Mingyue said with a smile . "Maybe once the sack is filled and a little bit heavier, then you can help me to carry it . "
Yang Yun laughed as he heard this . He grabbed Mingyue's wrist and slowly entwined his fingers with hers . He frowned when he felt her cold fingers . The weather is turning colder by day . In the mountain, the temperature was much lower .
Mingyue's heaved a long breath as they reached further into the woods . "Captain Yang Yun, are you sure that it's alright for you to accompany me like this? Don't you have to attend a training in camp?"
Yang Yun looked at her with a smile as he helped to pull Mingyue up at a slight cliff . "Before the Princess' spring hunt began, I am allowed to take a leave and accompany you to look for herbs . While I am in the capital, my task is to guard the princess' physician . "
Mingyue laughed at his words . But a part of her was uncomfortable with this arrangement . She wondered if her elder brother had personally assigned Yang Yun to task like this . If the others or His Majesty find out, wouldn't her brother get into trouble?
"Stop thinking over unnecessary stuff," Yang Yun said . "Tell me, what kind of herbs you're looking for . I'll keep my eyes on them . "
Jiang Mingyue nodded . She pulled out a notebook from her sack and showed pictures of herbs she was looking for . The two of them walked further into the woods while chatting casually . Soon, they could hear the sound of water . They headed towards the stream and found Xiao Mi sat on the pile of dried leaves, waiting for them .
Xiao Mi licked his fur lazily and meowed . Then he rose up and started to rub his head on Mingyue's legs .
Mingyue looked at the black cat when he meowed . "You found them? Where is it? Tell me!"
Xiao Mi blinked and meowed again .
Mingyue took out a small sack attached around her waist and took out a few snacks for Xiao Mi . "Good boy . " she let Xiao Mi ate from her palm and patted his head with her free hand as if she was trying to curry favor with Xiao Mi . "Tell me where did you find it?"
Xiao Mi finished her snacks before he looked at Mingyue . Then, he turned away from the stream and led Mingyue to another area .
