My Princess Holds Superpowers

Chapter 1652: Chapter 1653: Probing 596

Seeing the unfriendly look in An Ning’s eyes, An Yu silently stopped talking.

"What do we do now? Which way should we go?" After a while, seeing An Ning still standing there, An Yu asked.

An Ning: "I don’t know the way, and I can’t figure out the direction."

Moreover, it was still dark, the surroundings were pitch black, and she looked even more confused.

An Yu sighed, grabbed An Ning’s arm, and said, "Follow me."

An Ning was puzzled, "Do you know the way?"

An Yu explained, "I don’t, but today’s weather is good. If we follow the direction the stars point us, we’ll surely find a way out."

An Ning glanced at the sky; there were indeed many stars, and the path beneath their feet was brightly lit by starlight. But unfortunately, she had no idea how to use the stars to navigate.

After walking for quite a while, nothing seemed to change except for trees. An Ning panicked, "Hey, do you really know the way? Why do I feel like we’re going deeper into the mountains?"

An Yu subtly raised a corner of his mouth, "Don’t worry, I won’t lose you."

As for matters of the stars, he wasn’t particularly knowledgeable either, but he could at least manage simple navigation.

So, if they just continued down this path, they would definitely find a way out.

An Ning still felt it was somewhat unreliable to keep going, and directly suggested, "How about we retrace our steps? Even if passing by that village again might cause some trouble, we can take a slight detour..."

But An Yu wouldn’t listen, insisting that they keep going to find a way out.

The people behind hadn’t caught up yet, although they never stopped walking, both physically and mentally exhausted, but at least the pressure was less.

Until An Ning saw what seemed like firelight ahead and suddenly grasped An Yu’s hand, "Hey, look, is there firelight ahead?"

An Yu glanced in the direction An Ning pointed, then immediately went on alert.

Turning back, An Yu said to An Ning, "You hide first, I’ll go check it out."

It shouldn’t be the villagers catching up because they took a different path and hadn’t stopped walking, even if they could catch up, it shouldn’t be that fast.

After saying this, An Yu intended to walk forward, but was held back by An Ning, "Your martial arts aren’t high, you can handle one or two people, but more would be beyond your ability. I’ll go instead. Even if there’s danger, I at least have a place to hide."

By a place to hide, An Ning naturally meant the space, which An Yu was also aware of.

Seeing An Ning’s serious expression, An Yu could only nod, "Alright, then you must be very careful. If there’s danger, hide immediately. Don’t worry about exposing yourself."

Even if they are exposed, they can deal with it later, but if they hold out because they’re afraid of exposure and end up losing their lives, no one could turn back time.

"I know." With that, An Ning let go of An Yu’s hand and cautiously headed towards the firelight.

The distant firelight seemed close, but there was actually quite a distance.

When An Ning got closer, out of fear of exposing herself, she became even more cautious.

However, no matter how careful she was, for someone skilled in martial arts, even a breath could reveal an anomaly, let alone An Ning, who was just an ordinary girl, couldn’t hide her breathing or footsteps.
