After making a loop around the mountain and visiting the monastery where the mysterious old monk had lived, she unfortunately didn't get the chance to meet the enigmatic figure.
But Mu Mian felt no regret, having taken many photographs throughout the mountain, and by now it was already three in the afternoon.
The two of them began their descent.
She had to take breaks frequently while ascending, as her strength was already failing her. However, the descent was a wholly different challenge; the quicker pace meant that with every step, she felt as though her thighs might cramp.
There's a saying, isn't there? "Going up is easy, going down is hard."
Gong Heng offered to carry her down, and with his strength, it wouldn't have been a problem.
In the end, they chose to take the cable car down the mountain.
Descending from the high mountain, the cable car offered a view of the sprawling beauty between the mountains, the fog winding through the forests in a breathtaking display.
