"What do you think of the scenery at Tianjiao Peak, young lady?"
"There's no scenery to speak of. If it weren't for the iron ore, I wouldn't have even noticed this place."
As Mo Lan spoke, she looked around seriously again, "Weeds are rampant, shrubs are withered and yellow, trees are not dense enough, and the rocks have no distinctive features..."
Qin Su concealed the helplessness in her eyes, picked up her teacup, took a slow sip, and took the opportunity to hide the corners of her lips that were curving upwards.
Who else but her can be the conversation killer?
The two stood and sat in silence.
The atmosphere was somber and eerie.
After a pause, Mo Lan jumped off the stone platform. Before she could even take a step, she saw Cui Sheng and an unfamiliar guy shoving each other as they rushed over in a hurry.
"Boss, something's happened again."
"Young Master, something has happened."
Qin Su and Mo Lan exchanged a glance. See? I told you their personalities clashed, but you didn't believe me.
"What's wrong? Tell me slowly."
Mo Lan glanced at Cui Sheng, who was covered in sweat. This guy was usually quite capable, but since he came here, his IQ has plummeted, and he makes a fuss over the smallest things.
"Boss, the guys on the east side are clashing with us again. One of them even started a fight."
Cui Sheng wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Our brothers who went out hunting ran into them while tracking a wild boar."
"The wild boar is dead, but it has several arrows stuck in its body, both sides have them. But we found the prey first, we tracked it, and we shot it first. They were the ones who came later to surround and attack it, but they say that since the wild boar ran into their territory and participated in the hunt, it should belong to them."
As soon as Cui Sheng finished speaking, the person who came with him glared at him fiercely and slightly raised his chin.
"The prey ran into our encirclement and died at our hands. You were chased so desperately by the wild boar, we even spared your lives. Not only are you ungrateful, but you also tried to steal the prey. You're just shameless, addicted to being bandits, trying to take anything you see. No way!"
"You're talking nonsense! You're the ones who stole our stuff and are now blaming us. We were tracking wild boars, not being chased by them. Can you stop trying to confuse the truth? Our clothes were torn because we weren't paying attention to the branches and bushes while we were running."
Cui Sheng's face turned purple with anger as he turned to look at Mo Lan. "Boss, they're so shameless. The ore mine is divided into east and west sides, but the hunting grounds in the forest have nothing to do with that. They're being unreasonable and even swearing at us."
Mo Lan rubbed the pointer in her hand, staring coldly at the arguing fellow. "You just said we're addicted to being bandits?"
The man felt a chill run down his spine under Mo Lan's gaze, but remembering that the young master and the head guard were present, he immediately raised his head again.
"The wild boar wandered into our territory, and we were the ones who hunted it down. Your people still tried to steal it. What is this if not banditry?"
"When you attacked, the wild boar was already wounded and almost dead. Why did you even need to lift a finger?" Cui Sheng snorted and countered directly.
Now that I've heard all this, I understand. It's nothing more than the two sides disliking each other and putting each other in a stalemate.
Qin Su frowned, but before he could speak, Tingyu raised her fan and tapped her own soldier on the head.
"You brat, if you can't speak properly, shut up. You're all so envious of a wild boar. Have you never seen one before or never eaten one? Anyone who didn't know better would think the young master is short of food and drink for you."
As Tingyu spoke, she looked at Molan with a smile, "Miss, this boy is clumsy and doesn't know how to speak properly, so please don't mind him. There are many people down here, so it's normal for there to be some friction. As long as you and the young master don't mind, there won't be any problems."
