Meng Qianqian found a patch of forest and tied her horse securely.
"Tan'er, you stay here and wait for me. I'll follow and take a look."
"I want to go with you, older sister."
Meng Qianqian gently touched her temple. "Shangguan Ling isn't someone to be trifled with. The two of us together would draw too much attention, making it easier to get caught. Besides, anyone he's treating this cautiously must not be just an ordinary person. We need to be extremely careful."
Tan'er pouted and hesitated for a moment. "Fine."
Meng Qianqian smiled faintly. "What a good, obedient child."
Tan'er said, "N, come back quickly, okay?"
Meng Qianqian nodded. "I promise you, just half an hour. Whether I find anything or not, I'll return to the forest to find you."
After pausing and thinking of something, she added, "If you encounter any danger, run back to the city immediately. Don't wait for me."
Although Tan'er was reluctant to leave Meng Qianqian behind, she responded softly, "Got it."
