Chapter 420 Isn't this a coincidence?
After a conversation, Yu Zhiyi learned the girl's name and even that she and her companions were from Wanyuan City.
Coincidentally, the man who had just abandoned her also had the surname Zhong.
After some subtle probing, Yu Zhiyi learned that the male cultivator who abandoned Lin Qingxi was named Zhong Zhehao, and his father was Zhong Zhihong, a renowned array master in Wanyuan City.
Isn't that a coincidence?
Yu Zhiyi could only sigh at the cruel twist of fate.
She had originally planned to leave with Lin Qingxi, but now she had to change her strategy.
"Is this Miss Jiang's first experience?" Lin Qingxi asked Yu Zhiyi curiously.
To avoid trouble, Yu Zhiyi did not use her real name, and even changed her surname back to the original "Jiang".
"yes."
"No wonder." Lin Qingxi didn't suspect anything.
The Hidden Realm is vast, and even the most powerful elders may not know every part of it.
It's understandable that the scions of noble families, venturing out for the first time, would be in a state of confusion and groping.
However, generally speaking, if someone is truly from a prominent family, they will have a skilled protector by their side when they go out to train for the first time.
Looking at Yu Zhiyi, who was all alone, Lin Qingxi vaguely guessed that the other party's background must not be good.
This wasn't just her opinion; it was a stereotype held by everyone in the entire Hidden Realm.
Yu Zhiyi was previously racking her brains about how to subtly inquire about the situation in the hidden realm, but unexpectedly, Lin Qingxi came up with a character for her in her mind, and this character was quite reasonable, so she gladly accepted it.
"Miss Lin, this is my first time experiencing this training. Would you please be my guide?"
As for handing the items over to Zhong Zhehao, she considered it a completed task to return the items to the Zhong family.
Lin Qingxi pursed her lips, somewhat hesitant.
"What? Is it inconvenient?"
Could it be that after what just happened, this Miss Lin still has designs on Zhong Zhehao Village?
Lin Qingxi pinched the bridge of her nose: "I really want to agree, but the map is with my companion. Without the map, we can only use the teleportation array."
She looked embarrassed: "I don't have that many spirit stones."
Yu Zhiyi also fell silent.
The spirit stones Zhong Zhihong gave her were enough for the two of them together.
However, if she uses all of it to ride the teleportation array, the few spirit stones she has left may not be enough to travel at all.
She glanced at the giant wolf not far away: "Can this thing... be sold for money?"
Lin Qingxi said, "Yes, we can. The fur, bones, teeth, and blood of the Hurricane Wolf are all excellent materials. If it weren't for its strength, we would have hunted it down in the first place."
"Approximately how much is it worth?"
"Um...it adds up to a few dozen spirit stones."
Yu Zhiyi paused for a moment, then put the Hurricane Wolf's corpse into her storage ring and said nonchalantly, "Go find your companions."
She was confident in her memory; she could remember most of the routes with just a glance at a map.
Maybe he can hunt some monsters along the way, which would raise enough money to pay for Lin Qingxi's travel expenses.
"Should we go find them?" Lin Qingxi's expression was somewhat gloomy.
"how?"
Lin Qingxi took a deep breath.
She ultimately disliked gossiping behind people's backs, and could only resolve in her heart that she would never let Miss Jiang get hurt.
If that person dares to cause trouble again, she will not back down.
"It's alright, let's go."
Yu Zhiyi looked at the woman whose gaze had become firm, and a smile appeared in her eyes.
As Lin Qingxi's expression changed, the deathly look on her face also faded considerably.
As long as she stands up for herself, no one can hurt her.
The two walked in one direction and arrived at a stream about 15 minutes later.
By the stream, a man and a woman were sitting around a fire. A wooden rack was placed on the fire, and two grilled fish were on the rack.
While turning the grilled fish, Zhong Zhehao attentively wiped the sweat from the woman in the pink dress and poured her water.
"Brother Hao, stop busying yourself." The woman let Zhong Zhehao keep busy, her pretty face full of worry: "Sister Xi will be angry again if she sees you like this when she comes back."
When Zhong Zhehao heard "Sister Xi is back," his breath hitched for a moment, but he quickly replied nonchalantly, "What does it matter to me whether she's angry or not?"
A smile appeared in the woman's eyes, but it quickly turned into worry when Zhong Zhehao looked over: "But you are engaged, and you will become a real couple sooner or later. Sister Ruoxi has been misunderstanding our relationship, and I'm afraid your marriage will be filled with unrest."
As she spoke, she took the grilled fish that Zhong Zhehao handed her.
The fish meat was deboned by Zhong Zhehao, and it was tender, juicy, and had a sweet and refreshing taste.
Most importantly, there wasn't a single thorn.
Zhong Zhehao felt a little guilty, thinking that Lin Qingxi might have already perished in the wolf's jaws.
On second thought, Lin Qingxi brought this upon herself.
Yes, she brought it all on herself!
What business is it of his if she wants to commit suicide?
"I will not marry her," Zhong Zhehao said coldly. "A jealous and unreasonable woman like her is not worthy of entering the Zhong family!"
Ding Xueyan's expression brightened with joy.
Yu Zhiyi tilted her head to look at the woman beside her.
Lin Qingxi swayed when she heard Zhong Zhehao's heartless words, and tears welled up in her eyes.
She thought she would rush up and accuse the scumbag, but she didn't.
She just watched silently.
After a long while, she suppressed her sadness, disappointment, and resentment, and only hatred and determination remained in her clear eyes.
"Miss Jiang, please wait for me a moment, I'll go get the map right away."
As Lin Qingxi spoke, she didn't care about Yu Zhiyi's reaction and rushed out in a flash.
Zhong Zhehao was clearly stunned when he saw Lin Qingxi: "You...you're alright?"
Lin Qingxi sneered: "You really want something to happen to me?"
Zhong Zhehao's eyes flickered: "What nonsense are you talking about? We're partners, why would I want anything to happen to you?"
Ding Xueyan initially looked at Lin Qingxi with disgust, but her expression quickly turned to surprise and delight: "Sister Xi, I knew you were lucky and wouldn't get into trouble! That's great!"
"But Sister Xi, you were too impulsive. You mustn't do something like that again. You have no idea how worried we were about you. Brother Hao was just searching all over the world for you."
"Although the Yunzhi Mountains are the least dangerous training ground, there are still many ferocious beasts there. One careless move could result in injury or even death. You are too reckless."
Lin Qingxi laughed in anger: "You're the one who provoked the Hurricane Wolf, what does it have to do with me? If it weren't for saving you, I wouldn't have been held hostage by the Hurricane Wolf."
That's right, the reason they got involved with Hurricane Wolf was because Ding Xueyan was being nosy!
Not long ago, the three of them found a cave with a young wolf cub inside.
Ding Xueyan fell in love with the wolf cub at first sight and insisted on taking it away.
Lin Qingxi had a bad feeling.
Normally, adult hurricane wolves that have given birth to pups will not go too far or for too long.
She objected to taking the wolf cub away, but Ding Xueyan and Zhong Zhehao thought she was jealous that Ding Xueyan got the wolf cub.
Lin Qingxi was speechless and had no choice but to change her story, hoping that the group would leave Hurricane Wolves' territory as soon as possible.
The two men, however, still suspected her of having ulterior motives and being attention-seeking, and kept accusing her of being narrow-minded.
Then, Hurricane Wolf returned.
Upon seeing the wolf cubs captured by humans, Hurricane Wolf immediately became enraged.
