In the reception room, there were five people sitting in total. Besides Ji Rumei, there were three men and one woman. 。One of the men with a beard was at the twelfth level of Qi Refining Stage, while the other three were at the tenth level. 。As soon as Fang Yu walked in, the four pairs of eyes focused on him. 。Among those present, the man at the twelfth level of Qi Refinement was the first to withdraw his gaze, his eyes filled with disdain. 。The other three people 。After taking a good look at Fang Yu, he also showed disdain on his face. 。Miss Ji, is this young man the Mr. Fang who made us wait for over half an hour? Hearing you mention him, I thought he was someone amazing, but turns out he’s just a little kid at the fifth level of innate ability. 。The woman glanced at Fang Yu with a disdainful look in her eyes and said impatiently, 。As the eldest daughter of the Zhong family, she was always the one waited upon. 。It’s rare for her to wait for others!
Therefore, she feels very upset!
Just as Ji Ru Mei was about to speak, the man with the highest cultivation spoke: His cultivation level is too low, following us will only hold us back. 。Four warriors’ expressions and words <<< 。All of that just shows how much disdain he has for you. 。Ji Ru Mei looked at Fang Yu with concern. 。Ke Fangyu still had a calm face, seemingly not angry at all. 。Let me introduce you. This is… Ji Ru Mei. She wants to break the awkward silence and start introducing Fang Yu. 。The man with a thick beard and menacing eyes is the notorious bounty hunter in Jianghai City's underworld, Tu Feng. 。A bounty hunter is someone who does things for other people in exchange for money. 。They usually do things like fighting and killing. 。With the strength of a half-step Grandmaster, Tu Feng was rampant in the underground world of Jianghai City. He helped one golden master after another solve their problems, his reputation resounding far and wide. 。
That woman was named Zhongli Yu, the eldest daughter of the renowned martial arts family, Zhong, from Jiangnan. 。Two other men, both brought by Zhongli Yu’s subordinates, one named Zhou Bei and the other Zhu Lingjia. 。
Tu Feng was hired by Zhong Li Yu Hua Chong Jin to escort them. Their goal is to enter the primordial forest and search for rare medicinal herbs. 。Treasure or Buried Treasure <<< 。while Zhongli Yu viewed this operation as a test of their mettle, a tradition of the Zhong family. 。Every adult member of the family must undergo a trial. 。After Ji Rumei finished her introduction, Fang Yu remained silent, sitting on the sofa. 。Zhongli Yu looked at Fang Yu, his eyes full of disgust. 。<<
This guy? Wants to join her team?
Isn’t he just trying to get a free share of the pie?
Miss Ji, I respect you, but… this Mr. Fang, I can’t let him join the team, it’s for his own good, who knows how dangerous that forest is, what if something happens…
Zhongliyu shook her head and stopped talking >>> 。Miss, what’s the point of all this talk? Just refuse him directly! This boy is so weak, what use is he? What if we encounter danger and he pees his pants in fear? Zhuge Lingjia sneered from the side. 。Ji Rumei’s face grew increasingly worse. She had never said she wanted Fang Yu to join their team, she had only said that she wanted him to have some exchanges with them. 。But this group of people started with preconceived notions, as if Fang Yu was begging to join their team. 。It’s incredibly arrogant. 。
Ji Ru Mei was about to speak, but Fang Yu spoke first: “I don’t think I ever said I wanted to join you guys, did I?” 。
Then what brings you here? Zhongli frowned. 。I just want to know if you have any information about that forest. 。 。
Zhongli chuckled with a hint of mockery, saying: “Even if I did, I wouldn’t tell you.” 。For this intel, I spent a lot of money. You have no right to get it for free.
Besides, you can’t even go there, what use is it for you to ask?
Who said I can’t go? Fang Yu retorted 。”You mean…you’re going in alone? With only your innate five-segment strength?” Zhongli covered his mouth, giggling uncontrollably. 。After laughing for a while, she looked at Ji Ruimei again and said, “Miss Ji, this child must be a distant relative of yours, right? You’d better keep an eye on him, or he might go to his death.” 。
After that. 。Zhongli stood up. 。Miss Ji, we’re leaving for Sanhu City tonight. We thought you had us come over on purpose and made us wait so long. 。He’s supposed to introduce us to a powerful martial artist, but… never mind. Just forget it. Come over to my place when you have time! 。Zhongli Yu glanced faintly at Ji Rumei, and the group left. 。。She had originally thought that Zhongli Yu would, at the very least, maintain a neutral attitude out of face for the Ji family. 。But unexpectedly, Zhongli Yu seemed to not care about the Ji family at all. 。She didn’t take her seriously. 。People from martial arts families are just too arrogant. 。Ji Ru Mei apologized to Fang Yu: “Mr. Fang, I’m sorry…” It’s okay. 。Fang Yu waved his hand. He hadn’t expected to get any useful information anyway. 。What’s in that primeval forest, you’ll know after going there once. 。Sanhuashi is not far from Jianghaishi. It only takes two hours by train to get there. 。
Fang Yu set off at 6 am the next day and arrived in Sanhuashi at 8 am. 。Fang Yu hailed a taxi and told the driver: “I want to go to the primeval forest in the north of Sanhua City.” 。
What forest…oh
。You’re talking about that haunted forest!? The driver exclaimed, eyes wide with surprise. 。
Ghost Forest? Fang Yu’s eyes twitched. 。
That’s the Ghost Forest! It’s said that every day there are countless strange noises, and how many people go in and never come out?! It’s all sealed off now! If you want to go there, find someone else. I’m not going, it’s too creepy! The driver finished speaking and drove away. 。After that, Fang Yu flagged down several more taxis, but no one was willing to take the fare. 。It seems like almost everyone in Sanhua City has heard about what happened in that forest. 。After being rejected several times, Fang Yu gave up the idea of taking a taxi and decided to walk there. 。But as he turned his head, a gray-haired old man walked up to him. 。
The old man was very aged, with white hair and beard, thin as a stick, but his face was somewhat dark. 。But Fang Yu knew that the old man was a cultivator. 。Cultivation at the tenth level of the Qi Refining Period, is not weak. 。
Kid, if you want to go to that haunted forest, those drivers won’t take your business. 。The old man smiled kindly. 。
Can you take me there? Fang Yu asked. 。
about 。I am nearly middle-aged and no longer believe in superstition. 。But if you want me to take you there, it’ll cost you a little more. 。The old man nodded. 。Said 。How much do you want? Fang Yu asked. 。The elder raised two fingers. 。
Two hundred yuan? Not too expensive. 。
Fang Yu accepted the elder’s offer 。The old man’s car was a diesel tricycle, which was pretty fast. 。After Fang Yu got into the car, the old man also sat in the driver’s seat and stepped on the accelerator. 。No one noticed 。In the old man’s cloudy eyes, a flash of cruelty. 。
From the train station in Sanhua City to that primeval forest, it’s about 20 kilometers. 。At this diesel tricycle’s speed, it would probably take about half an hour. 。So, after getting on the bus, Fang Yu began to close his eyes and rest. 。About twenty minutes later, Fang Yu felt a jolt and opened his eyes. 。By now, he had reached a desolate stretch beyond the outskirts of town, where not even a single soul could be seen. 。How much longer until we get there? Fang Yu asked. 。The old man did not answer. 。Fang Yu frowned slightly, took out his phone and looked at the map, and found that he had deviated from the route by a lot. 。
This old man, something is wrong. 。But since he had already been led astray, Fang Yu was not in a hurry. He watched to see what the old man wanted to do. 。After walking for about five minutes, the elder stopped the car. 。
Ahead was a cave, seemingly very deep and pitch black. 。The old man turned his head, looked at Fang Yu, and smiled sinisterly, revealing a black tooth. 。
It wasn’t until this moment that Fang Yu realized the old man had a sinister look on his face, clearly not a good person. 。The previous kindness, apparently, was a disguise. 。If Fang Yu had paid a little more attention, he definitely could have noticed it before. 。
But nonetheless, I was still scammed. 。Robbery or rape? I guess you’re here for robbery, but you’ve got the wrong person. I only have five hundred yuan on me. You take it all and you won’t be making much profit. 。Fang Yu’s face was calm as he said, 。The old man looked at Fang Yu, grinning widely and chuckling. 。Seeing this meaningless smile, Fang Yu’s brows furrowed slightly. 。This old geezer isn’t really going to try and abduct a woman, is he? Nope, I’m robbing… lives. 。The old man said in a raspy, grave voice. 。
