Chapter 639 They came into the mountains with us

Before the fifth team member could finish speaking, a figure suddenly walked up to him and bumped into him.

The leader suddenly took two steps back, only managing to stay upright thanks to the support of those behind him.

He gritted his teeth and raised his head, "What are you doing?"

Ma Lu said expressionlessly, "Oops, I wasn't paying attention. Did you hurt yourself? Should I blow on it for you?"

The crowd present was speechless.

Shu Yu burst out laughing and gave Ma Lu a thumbs up.

Well done, you really returned it word for word.

Moreover, Ma Lu's impact was much stronger than his.

You could tell from the leader of Team Five's ashen face and constant shoulder rubbing that he deserved it.

Ma Lu asked him, "Does this mean you want me to pay you back without even shouting twice?"

The leader could bully a girl like Shu Yu, but when faced with Ma Lu and his gang of tall, strong men, he immediately cowered, snorted coldly, and turned to leave.

Once they were out of sight, Ma Lu asked Fang Xiyue, "Are you alright?"

The latter shook her head. "Thank you." She really hadn't expected him to come up and directly confront the fifth team.

Ma Lu waved his hand, "Now everyone thinks you're protected by our Third Team. If you get bullied and we don't care, then we'll lose face for our Third Team. No need to thank me, just put in extra effort when we go into the mountains later."

"good."

Fang Xiyue nodded emphatically, feeling a great sense of relief and ease.

The group then continued walking forward until they reached the foot of the mountain.

To their surprise, there were two people waiting for them there. Upon seeing Shu Yu, Meng Yunzheng and Zhao Xi, who were sitting on the rock, stood up and looked at them.

Shu Yu introduced them to Ma Lu, saying, "This is my brother and his friend."

Ma Lu was puzzled, "They..."

Shu Yu said, "They came into the mountains with us."

Ma Lu's expression turned grim, and the teammate behind him frowned and said, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Although the other party were two grown men, judging from their frail and scholarly appearance, they probably wouldn't be a hindrance.

Moreover, these two people are not criminals. If something happens to them in the mountains, it may still be their fault, leading to endless trouble.

Ma Lu shook his head. "I'm sorry, I don't agree to them coming into the mountains with us."

They had worked with Shu Yu before and had developed a certain understanding with each other. The sudden addition of two unfamiliar men, whose personalities were completely unknown, raised concerns about potential unforeseen problems.

Seeing that the three teams were very resistant, Shu Yu immediately smiled and explained, "You've misunderstood. They're not going with us to fight the tiger. My brother and his group are going into the mountains to gather herbs. They're just traveling with us for a while."

Gathering herbs?

Ma Lu looked at Zhao Xi in surprise, "You're a doctor??"

Fang Xiyue, who was standing to the side, immediately nodded and said, "Dr. Lu's medical skills are very good. My father was seriously injured before, and it was Dr. Lu who treated him. Now my father can get out of bed and he is much more energetic."

Zhao Xi felt a toothache just hearing the name Dr. Lu.

He glanced at Meng Yunzheng beside him, who seemed not to have heard anything and remained quietly in the background.

However, after hearing Fang Xiyue's words, Ma Lu's gaze towards Zhao Xi changed.

He had inquired about the Fang family's situation. Fang Xiyue's abilities after entering the mountains surprised him, so he made a special effort to find out more. He learned that her father was a hunter, but he was seriously injured, which was quite a pity.
