“Why is senior Qin Li not here yet? Could he have been ambushed?” Ouyang Tingling whispered, pacing around. “Oh please. It's Qin Li, who can possibly trap him? Be real, can anyone keep him against his will, he will freeze the entire mountain before he let that happen.” “That's true, senior Qin Li is truly powerful, no one can trap him against his will. He would definitely find the time to send off a signal requesting reinforcement.” “But why is he not back yet, did he get injured? Should we go comb the forest?” Chu Feng asked, running his hands through his hair. “I'm here.” Alvin muttered in Qin Li’s deep voice. “Senior Qin, what took you so long?” Ouyang Tingling. “I mistakenly stepped into a trap which got me injured.
