"It's very simple, just put it in your storage ring. Storage rings can isolate your aura, let alone your scent," Ye Feng said calmly, returning the cracked jade pendant to Gu Lingxuan.
Ye Feng and Luo Qingling returned to the carriage.
Nothing else happened after that, and the rest of the night passed peacefully.
After daybreak, the convoy set off again.
In the dense forest, a middle-aged man who looked quite similar to Gu Weiyun had a very gloomy expression on his face.
Behind him stood an old man in a black robe. The old man had almost lost all his teeth and his face was covered with pustules. He looked both terrifying and disgusting!
If Gu Weiyun and Gu Lingxuan saw this old man in black robes, their eyes would definitely pop out in shock.
Because this person is none other than Zhao Qishan, the infamous poison master of Nanyue City!
"The three-headed demon hound failed to kill them, and no goods were lost... It seems Gu Lingxuan has found a very capable helper," Zhao Qishan said with a sneer.
The man standing in front of Zhao Qishan was Gu Weiyun's younger brother and Gu Lingxuan's second uncle.
Gu Weizhen!
Clenching his fists tightly, Gu Weizhen said coldly, "Old Zhao, you patted your chest and said that the jade pendant you personally refined would definitely attract the three-headed demon hound to kill Gu Weiyun and Gu Lingxuan, but things don't seem to be as you said."
"Gu Lingxuan found a master to help her, so what could I do about this unexpected incident? I'm already being lenient by not pursuing the matter of the information you gave me being problematic," Zhao Qishan said bluntly.
Gu Weizhen added, "In about two days, the convoy will cross this forest and arrive at Zhonghao City. We must make our move before the convoy arrives and keep them here forever!"
"Don't worry, I'll do my best next time," Zhao Qishan said coldly, a chilling smile on his face.
Several hours passed before we knew it.
Gu Lingxuan and her maid Chuntao arrived at the last carriage to bring Luo Qingling and Ye Feng some exquisite pastries.
Ye Feng was naturally uninterested, but Luo Qingling was overjoyed.
"Thank you so much, Miss Gu. I was just feeling hungry."
As she spoke, Luo Qingling couldn't wait to snatch the tray from Chun Tao's hands and grab a pastry in each hand to enjoy it.
The night wind felt utterly helpless.
Luo Qingling is good in every way, except that she's greedy. She'll starve like a ghost whenever she sees something delicious.
With such an obvious flaw, Luo Qingling will definitely not die of old age in the future, but will be poisoned to death by someone putting poison in her food!
After the food was delivered, Gu Lingxuan and Chun Tao did not leave immediately, but instead started chatting with Ye Feng.
"Young Master Feng, may I ask what rank you are as an alchemist?" Gu Lingxuan asked.
"Sixth rank."
Night Wind answered without hesitation.
Luo Qingling looked surprised and said, "In that case, what you told Chuntao yesterday about going to Zhonghao City to make a living must have been a lie, right?"
Ye Feng smiled and said, "Actually, it's not exactly a lie. Isn't the Tianyang Sect located on Zhonghao Mountain next to Zhonghao City?"
"So you want to join the Tianyang Sect." Luo Qingling thought she had seen through Ye Feng's intentions.
Night Wind nodded and said, "For a rogue cultivator like me, without any sect or school, cultivation is really too difficult. Moreover, I have a... gluttonous younger sister who needs my care, which makes it even more troublesome."
"So I want to join the Tianyang Sect and make a living with my alchemy skills. I just don't know if the Tianyang Sect would even look at a sixth-grade alchemist like me. After all, the Tianyang Sect is one of the top six sects in our Yin-Yang Great World. They are powerful and might not even consider me."
Gu Lingxuan smiled and said, "So you found out that our Deer Merchant Guild was going to the Tianyang Sect to deliver goods to the sect's Grand Elder, so you joined our caravan hoping to find an opportunity to meet the Grand Elder and attract his attention, is that right?"
Night Breeze clapped his hands and laughed: "Miss Gu, you are too smart. I can't hide anything from you."
Gu Lingxuan could tell that Ye Feng was flattering her, so she just smiled and didn't respond.
Chuntao said proudly, "Of course! My young lady is very capable! If my young lady were a man, Master would have already handed over the family business to her to manage!"
"Chuntao, say less," Gu Lingxuan quickly said.
Chun Tao finally shut her mouth.
Then, Gu Lingxuan looked at Ye Feng seriously and said, "If Young Master Feng can really join the Tianyang Sect and become an alchemist, then our Deer Merchant Guild will have to rely on you in the future. Please take good care of us in the future."
"Let's talk about it after I join. It's not even certain whether the Grand Elder of the Tianyang Sect will even look at me," Ye Feng said with a self-deprecating tone.
After chatting for a while longer, Gu Lingxuan and Chun Tao finally left.
Luo Qingling asked curiously, "Young Master Feng, are you really going to join the Tianyang Sect? Weren't you going to steal things from the Tianyang Sect?"
"That's precisely why I joined the Tianyang Sect. I don't even know where the thing I'm looking for is hidden in the Tianyang Sect, so how am I supposed to steal it?" Ye Feng said with a smile.
"I see."
Luo Qingling nodded and said nothing more.
Night fell again.
The guards set up tents on the open ground beside the road and lit a campfire to roast meat.
Tonight, the meat they're grilling isn't from the Snowflake Fox, but from a wild roe deer they casually hunted on the road.
The rich aroma of meat made Luo Qingling's mouth water.
However, before Luo Qingling could pester Ye Feng to get her a piece of roasted meat, the guard captain, Sun Gang, had already come to find Ye Feng and Luo Qingling with a large piece of golden-brown roasted meat.
"Young Master Feng, Miss Feng, this is some meat we grilled. Please try it if you don't mind. It's just a small token of our appreciation," Sun Gang said with a smile.
Luo Qingling was overjoyed. After saying thank you, she quickly grabbed the large piece of roasted meat from Sun Gang's hand and began to savor it with a look of pure delight.
"Thank you very much, Captain Sun," Ye Feng said, cupping his hands in thanks.
"Just call me Sun Gang. I'm a rough guy, I don't need all those formalities."
Sun Gang waved his hand, then asked, "By the way, Young Master Feng, last night when the three-headed demon hound suddenly attacked, it was you who sent me a telepathic message beforehand to warn me to be careful, right?"
"Hmm." Night Breeze nodded slightly.
“I didn’t expect you to be so capable, Young Master Feng, to have detected the three-headed demon hound’s attack so far ahead of me. Without your warning, we would have been caught off guard and the situation would have been much worse,” Sun Gang said earnestly.
"It's nothing, not worth mentioning," Ye Feng said nonchalantly.
Sun Gang then said, "Um... could we also do it tonight..."
