Gu Youyou and her companions smoothly mounted their horses, with Searcy being the only inexperienced rider; however, led by Gu Youyou, their speed was not slower than the others. It was not until now that Xiao Jinyan began to reassess his opinion of her.
This woman, it seemed, was not entirely useless, at least she could ride a horse decently.
He just hoped that his cousin could delay Yu Jizi long enough to give them time to escape.
Searcy, however, was the most miserable. She who had just been seasick now was getting horse sick from the jostling ride.
She couldn't take it anymore and complained, "Hey, hey, they want you, not me. Why should I have to run with you?"
As the sole successor of the Ghost Doctor, Gu Youyou only instinctively associated certain thoughts and felt that if Yu Jizi knew of Searcy's existence, he wouldn't let her go either. That's why she had wanted Searcy to take refuge with the Lin Family in Beijing.
