After dispersing the villagers, Zhao Rong and his group of five headed straight for the mountaintop. As they neared the summit, they saw the Village Belle standing at the edge of a cliff.
The moment the assistant saw her, he grew frantic. He dashed forward, shouting, "Village Belle, don't do anything foolish! Even if this village won't accept you, you can come with us! We can go far away and start a new life. Why would you want to end it all?"
Lili also called out, urging the Village Belle to step away from the edge. "Village Belle, please come down from there! Honestly, Brother Zhao Rong has already driven off the villagers who were chasing you with torches. You're completely safe now!"
Yu Lan waved her over. "Village Belle, hurry and come here! The bullies who threatened you with those long knives have been driven away by Brother Zhao Rong. From now on, your village will no longer be threatened by them, so please, come down! Don't do anything rash!"
