The Wealthy Eldest Sister Rules Supreme

Chapter 396: Chapter 383: Never Worry About Having Too Much Debt

“Big sister…” Zhuang Qingsui sobbed uncontrollably, “Big sister is trapped inside…”

“Big Sister Ning sacrificed herself to divert the falling rocks and save us. We must quickly rescue Big Sister Ning!” Chu Jinzhou was also covered in tears, overwhelmed by sadness.

Zhuang Qingning was trapped inside?

Fan Wenxuan’s face turned pale, but he quickly composed himself.

He felt worry and anxiety too, but being the only decision-maker present, he couldn’t afford to panic or act rashly.

“Take the Third Young Master and Miss Sui down the mountain, promptly take them to Qingzhuyuan, and immediately call for rescue to save Miss Zhuang,”

Fan Wenxuan ordered, “Going back to Qingzhuyuan for help may take a bit long, so if you encounter anyone on the road, ask them for help. A substantial reward will be offered to anyone who can assist!”

“Yes.” Banqing and the others answered, then promptly split up to carry out the tasks.

Zhuang Qingsui, seeing that she was about to be sent away from this place, immediately cried aloud, “I won’t go, I want to save my big sister!”

“I won’t leave either,” Chu Jinzhou firmly echoed, “Big Sister Ning risked herself to save us. If we leave now, wouldn’t that mean we’re lacking in gratitude?”

“Jinzhou, Miss Zhuang saved your lives so that you could be safe and sound. Though the mountain is relatively stable now, what if there was another strong quake? If you and Qingsui were to encounter another misfortune, how could Miss Zhuang be at peace?”

“As for the rescue, you both are physically weak and can’t be of much help. Not only would you be a burden here, but you would also delay Miss Zhuang’s rescue. Now would you call that ungrateful?”

Fan Wenxuan shouted.

Chu Jinzhou immediately fell silent. Then he bowed his head and said, “Sir, I understand.”

“Qingsui, let’s go down the mountain and wait at Qingzhuyuan,” Seeing that Zhuang Qingsui was still unwilling to leave, Chu Jinzhou tried to persuade her, “The gentleman is right. Big Sister Ning wants you to be safe. Since this is what she wants, how can we fail to comply?”

Zhuang Qingsui froze for a moment before her tears silently trickled down.

She looked at the entrance that was now blocked tight, then at Chu Jinzhou’s determined expression, and finally recalled the words Zhuang Qingning had said to her before…

Zhuang Qingsui, a little numb, nodded. Biting her lower lip, she followed Chu Jinzhou, looking back every three steps, as they descended the mountain.

Seeing Zhuang Qingsui and Chu Jinzhou obediently leaving, Fan Wenxuan sighed in relief.

“We have to find a way to remove these stones as quickly as possible and see if we can rescue Miss Zhuang,”

Fan Wenxuan rolled up his sleeves and joined Banqing and the others in moving the scattered stones. While doing so, he shouted, “Miss Zhuang, can you hear us?”

However, they received no response.

“Mr. Fan, this…” Banqing’s legs almost gave out beneath him, and he nearly collapsed.

“It will be okay! Let’s keep removing these stones. Miss Zhuang is waiting for us to rescue her!” His face grim, Fan Wenxuan bowed his head and concentrated only on moving the loose, shaky stones.

The scholar, who held a pen in hand most days and hardly ever got his hands dirty, now found his lenient hands scraped and bloody from the rough stones after only moving a few.

Fan Wenxuan, seemingly not noticing, only bowed his head and mechanically repeated his actions.

Seeing Fan Wenxuan’s determination and calm demeanor, Banqing, who had initially been panicking, immediately calmed down. He decided not to call out to Zhuang Qingning anymore, instead working quickly alongside Fan Wenxuan to clear the path to rescue her.

At that moment, Zhuang Qingning, who had been on the ground, managed to rise and rubbed her throbbing head.

She had just managed to keep that rock from falling and saw Zhuang Qingsui and Chu Jinzhou escape outside, she was about to let the rock go and make a quick escape herself.

However, another violent shake and falling rocks immediately interrupted her plans.

When a massive rock fell and hit the front of the rock she was holding, the impact made her arm numb. The rock slipped from her hand, not only blocking her escape route but also trapping her securely inside.

Then, a large part of the mountain collapsed and the debris fell like rain. Zhuang Qingning made a quick decision to abandon her escape and instead retreated into the depths of the cave, hiding close to the edge to ensure her safety at that moment.

Despite Zhuang Qingning’s swift reactions and nimble actions, she was still hit by the falling rocks. She gritted her teeth and tried to jump out.

However, she was ultimately hit by a rock in the back of her neck.

This is the end.

That was Zhuang Qingning’s first thought. Then her consciousness faded as she collapsed to the ground like a sack, completely unconscious.

Waking up so quickly, with the pain in her neck not too severe, Zhuang Qingning guessed it had something to do with a certain system.

Emergency mode again?

[Correct, the emergency mode of the system has been activated to ensure the safety of the host’s life.]

[It’s about the labor value…]

[Hehehe, the host understands.]

Thinking of the screen full of red figures, Zhuang Qingning helplessly rubbed her forehead.

She felt different degrees of abrasions on her forehead and on the back of her hand. Even her body, which had been hit by the falling rocks, was hurting.

With an attitude of not worrying too much about increasing the debt, Zhuang Qingning unhesitatingly extended her hand.

Give me some ointment for the wounds.

[Okay, host.]

Apparently, the system was pleased with her attitude of spending labor points lavishly, as its tone was a bit cheerful.

[Jade Dew of Fall and Hurt, it not only relieves pain, heals scratches and bumps but also smooths your skin without leaving scars. It is an excellent medicine for external injuries.]

As soon as the system finished speaking, a white porcelain vase appeared in Zhuang Qingning’s hand. When she opened it to look, she saw pale yellow ointment. When she took some and applied it to the back of her hand, she felt a slight coolness and the burning pain immediately alleviated considerably.

After applying the ointment to all the visible wounds and resting for a while to regain some strength, Zhuang Qingning stood up to inspect her current situation.

Not only was the entrance tightly blocked, but the sliver of sky filled with warm sunshine she could see from the top of the cave was now almost completely covered by the collapsed mountain. Only the holes left by the rugged mountain allowed strands of sunlight to shine through, so that she could see the inside of the cave.

What was once a unique and quiet cave, was now a chaotic mess due to the collapsed mountain, losing its serenity.

Zhuang Qingning felt a bit regretful and shook her head.

Upon seeing the flower in the corner, she stared at it for a long while.

That must be the incarnation of the auspicious Flower of Legend. It seemed to be genuinely blessed. It had not been damaged at all.
