Chapter 92 Chapter 94 Biased
Lan Yanyan's face looked grim after she came to her senses. It was unknown whether it was because of the death of her team members or because she was afraid of Rong Xianxian's ability. Maybe it was both!
"I don't believe it... I don't believe they have already... I think they just got separated from us. Let's go back to the camp, maybe they have already gone back. I am deceiving myself, I'm sorry, I'm sorry everyone." Shang Yuege's voice trembled, and he forced a smile on his face as if he was crying, which made people feel sad and distressed.
"Boss, don't be sad, woooo..." Shi Rong started crying before he could finish his words.
When they were all stunned by the images in their minds, Rong Xianxian took Cui Lie and Jiang Jie away.
Shang Yuege has always been good at calculating. Rong Xianxian transmitted the scene at that time to his team members. Although it exposed his lies, it also clearly showed the situation at the scene. The death of the team members was not caused by Shang Yuege's command error or other major negligence, but a sudden disaster that was unavoidable.
In this way, although the family members are sad and grief-stricken, they cannot blame Shang Yuege. The blow to Shang Yuege's reputation and prestige can be minimized.
It was much more effective than his hasty decision to conceal the death of his teammate.
"Sister Rong, the water in the river is clear and transparent. I brought back eight buckets of water. I have already filled up the big water tank in your car." Cui Lie had just parked the car when Wang Lin ran over breathlessly to Rong Xianxian to take credit.
"The water is absolutely clean and safe. I guarantee it. The experts in the mercenary team ahead have monitored it. Everyone is fetching water over there." Wang Lin saw Rong Xianxian staring at him and quickly added.
"Alin, did you do something wrong? Why are you so diligent today?" Rong Xianxian asked jokingly.
There was a flash of guilt in Wang Lin's eyes, and he pretended to be angry, "Am I not diligent normally? Sister Rong, you are saying that I am lazy in disguise. Now you always favor Brother Cui, and I have no status in your heart." As Wang Lin spoke, he felt a little aggrieved in his heart.
"Oh, A'lin, are you a little girl? What you said sounds very sour." Rong Xianxian patted Wang Lin's shoulder and laughed exaggeratedly.
Jiang Jie came over and hugged Wang Lin, "Ah Lin, just now we were in the woods..."
Cui Lie made a gesture to Rong Xianxian from an angle that Wang Lin couldn't see, and Rong Xianxian shook her head.
"Ah" a scream came from the river.
"Hold on, don't let go, come and help." someone shouted in panic.
"What an unlucky guy! The river water is so clear that you can see the movement in the water at a glance, but you are still so careless. Haha..." Wang Lin was listening to Jiang Jie talking about the black hole they had just encountered. Hearing the chaotic noise on the other side of the river, he couldn't help but comment.
"What's going on over there? Should we go take a look?" Jiang Jie's eyes were sparkling, and he looked like he wanted to watch the excitement.
"There's nothing to see. There's a strange kind of fish in this area that likes to drag people into the water. Several people have been dragged into the water before. But don't worry, as long as someone sees them by the water, they will be rescued in no time." The speaker was Wang Qirui, who was also a restless person. He had just followed Wang Lin to the river to fetch water and had seen this kind of scene.
"Oh." Seeing that Rong Xianxian didn't answer, Jiang Jie didn't mention it again.
"Do you want to explore the woods?" Rong Xianxian asked Wang Lin and the others.
"Yes." Wang Lin, Wang Qirui and Xia Kai answered in unison.
"Have you brought all the defensive talismans? Be careful." Rong Xianxian gave a few instructions and watched the three of them drive away in Wang Lin's car.
Although Rong Xianxian and the others encountered a lot of things, it didn't take much time.
It was around two o'clock in the afternoon when they camped. After dealing with the troublemakers and having dinner, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon. It was just past four o'clock when they went to the woods to look for Wu Shi. The days are long and the nights are short in summer, so it was almost time to cook dinner when Wang Lin and the others came back.
Riverside.
The mercenaries camped in tents.
"Mr. Nine, the mission target is difficult and we need your help." A man in a black cloak asked respectfully.
"Mr. Qian, I asked your men to find out the situation before. They were very impolite and said that I have no right to interfere in this matter." Ning Qingtian said sarcastically.
"Those little bastards are ignorant and have offended you. When I get back, I will definitely punish them severely or tie them up and hand them over to you for disposal. How about that?" Qian Rufeng bowed slightly, keeping a humble attitude.
"Mr. Qian, you are too polite. They dared to be so arrogant at that time, isn't it because you, the Red List, have always been so powerful? Without the support of big guys like you, would they dare to be so arrogant?" Ning Qingtian spoke bluntly. Although he was from the side branch, he was also a legitimate son of the Ning family. When he had something to ask for, the Red List dared not to point to him. Now he even had the nerve to speak up.
Qian Rufeng felt uncomfortable being blocked. He suppressed his anger and tried to speak calmly, "Mr. Jiu should know how rare high-level skill books are. Previously, the clan issued a task for us to search for various levels of skill books in the safe zone and among the survivors through various channels, especially high-level skill books. I worked hard for several months and only found two intermediate skill books. And now, Madam Rong has two high-level skill books."
Qian Rufeng became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes full of greed and calculation.
"Mr. Nine, finding the advanced skill book is a great achievement in the clan. If you are willing to help, you can also share the credit." Qian Rufeng said temptingly.
"Does Mr. Qian think I'm a fool? If I'm willing to get involved in this matter, what does it have to do with you? I can handle it myself, why should I give you most of the credit? If you don't have the ability and can't do it, you can directly apply to the clan, and the clan will naturally send someone else to carry out this task." Ning Qingtian led the group independently and had no intersection with the Red List. What's more, the Red List was arrogant before, and Young Master Ning Jiu was not without temper, so he naturally would not give Qian Rufeng a good face.
"But this task was assigned to us." Qian Rufeng's face also looked grim.
"You go and carry out the order!" Ning Qingtian made a gesture of invitation.
"We are not sure now." Qian Rufeng said aggrievedly.
"You have two choices. You apply to cancel the mission, and then I apply to execute it, or you apply for assistance from our mercenary group and ask the deacons of the clan council to approve it, and also ask Captain Geng of the Tiger Mercenary Group to give his approval." Ning Qingtian said with a smile.
“How can we let outsiders know about family affairs? Moreover, the Ninth Young Master is leading troops outside now. It’s just a matter of a word from you. Please be flexible.” Qian Rufeng suppressed the anger in his heart and forced a smile on his face.
