Xie Jue hurriedly grabbed her: “Yingying, what are you doing?”

“Why can’t I go if you all go? I’m also very skilled.” Although Xie Ying had not studied martial arts, she was very skilled in horseback riding and archery, and was much more capable than ordinary young ladies.

“But there may be snakes, rats, insects and ants in this cave, aren’t you afraid?” Xie Jue asked.

“If Ruoruo is not afraid, why should I be afraid?” Xie Ying didn’t hesitate at all.

“If Yingying wants to go, I have insect and ant repellent ointment here.” Wei Ruo immediately took out a porcelain box from her backpack.

Inside the box, there was a light yellow waxy paste inside.

Wei Ruo placed her index finger on the cream and rubbed it carefully, then applied it to Xie Ying’s wrist and the base of her ear.

Xie Ying put her wrist in front of her nose and smelled it, “It smells so good, it has a faint fruity scent, sweet and nice.”

“Well, I specially mixed the fragrance. I learned how to mix fragrances from a mister recently. I then used this ointment this way. Originally, the scent of this ointment was also quite unpleasant.” explained Wei Ruo.

“Learning by doing, Ruoruo, you’re awesome!” Xie Ying couldn’t help but praise Wei Ruo again.

Xie Jue, who was behind Xie Ying, was also amazed by this. This Miss Wei from the Wei family was really interesting. She seemed like an endless treasure, and she could constantly surprise people.

Xie Jue looked at Wei Ruo with admiration and approval in his eyes, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

Xie Ying asked Wei Ruo: “Ruoruo, can my older brother use some of your ointment? I’m afraid that he will be bitten by insects and ants.”

Wei Ruo simply shoved the entire box of ointment into Xie Ying’s hand: “This is for you.”

“You gave it to me, but what about yourself?” Xie Ying asked.

“I still have it, I made several boxes at once.” Wei Ruo replied.

“That’s good!” Xie Ying didn’t hesitate anymore. After accepting Wei Ruo’s ointment, she turned around and handed it to Xie Jue.

“I’ll give you a little bit, you can use it sparingly. After applying it, you have to return it back to me.”

“I know, I know.” Xie Jue replied with a smile.

After applying insect repellent ointment, the four of them entered the cave together.

Xie Jue walked at the front, protecting the three girls behind him.

This cave was a bit narrow and the roads were complex. After walking for a while, Wei Ruo said: “Let’s go out. This cave is not what I look for, and the paths here are narrow and have forks. Continuing forward may be dangerous.”

Although Xie Jue and Xie Ying didn’t know the reason, after Wei Ruo said so, they stopped walking, turned around, and retreated from the cave.

After retreating, Xie Jue asked Wei Ruo: “What kind of cave is Sister Wei planning to find? I used to come here to play when I was a child and have some knowledge about the area, perhaps I can help you.”

Looking at Xie Jue’s serious face, Wei Ruo thought for a while, and then expressed her thoughts: “I want to find a cave with a large space,  and a reasonable temperature. A cave that is warm in winter and cool in summer.”

“Large space, warm in winter and cool in summer……” Xie Jue pondered carefully for a moment. “Along this path and halfway up the mountain, there seems to be a cave that meets your requirements.”

“Young Master Xie, do you remember how to get there?” Wei Ruo asked hurriedly.

“Yes, I remember, I’ll show you the way.” Xie Jue said.

“Thank you very much, young master!” Wei Ruo gratefully said.

“No need to be so polite with me.” Xie Jue looked at Wei Ruo with a gentle smile.

After the courtesies, Xie Jue walked to the front, leading Wei Ruo, Xiumei, and his sister halfway up the mountain.

After bypassing several large rocks, a spacious cave entrance appeared in front of them.

Xie Jue was leading the way, with the three girls following behind.
