Gu Yuan looked at the people who had already chosen their seats, sighed helplessly, and still stood calmly in his seat, watching how things developed.
On the other side, the lone recruit was a man who looked no more than thirty years old.
There was a look of dissatisfaction on his face, and he muttered something, then came to Gu Yuan.
"Hey! What's wrong with you? Why are you just standing there without moving? Don't you know how to grab a good position?" As soon as he came up, the man complained to Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan smiled, shrugged his shoulders, and said nothing.
The man rolled his eyes at Gu Yuan and continued, "What are you laughing at? Don't you know that leading the way is the most dangerous thing? If you weren't so slow to react, how could I be forced to walk ahead and explore the way?"
Gu Yuan couldn't help but frown. What did he mean by "if it weren't for my slow reaction"? He was being blamed for this emotional issue?
"Hmph!" The man snorted coldly and said nothing more.
"Alright, it looks like everyone has chosen their teammates and positions. Alright then, let's all take our positions now. Remember, our top priority is protecting our young lady!"
The butler said something to everyone, then turned to the carriage and said, "Miss, everyone has been arranged. You can get off now. We can enter the oasis now!"
"Um!"
A soft sound came from inside the carriage, and then the curtain was lifted by a maid, who was Xiaoju. Then a beautiful girl in a white dress came down.
"Miss, be careful!"
Xiaoju carefully supported her young lady and said respectfully.
"Butler, have we arrived at our destination?"
The woman called Miss walked down, feeling the glaring gaze, and couldn't help but frowned and said.
"Yes, miss. Look, the oasis ahead is the ninth one discovered by our Gu family exploration team. The danger level here is not very high according to the family's estimation. Compared with the previous ones, it is already better. Thanks to the head of the family, we can be assigned to such a place with a low danger level." The housekeeper said thankfully.
The young lady of the Gu family is named Gu Ting. She is the daughter of the head of the Gu family in Gumo City.
In Gumo City, the competition among the younger generations of the Gu family is very fierce. This is why the younger generations of the Gu family are better than those of other families.
As a young lady of the Gu family, Gu Ting also participated in the competition.
Although she is the daughter of the Gu family, she has been competitive since she was a child, but she does not like to use her status as a daughter to suppress others. What she likes most is to rely on her own strength to fight for what she wants.
The reason why she led the herb-picking team out this time was not only because she had some research and love for spiritual medicine, but also because the Gu family was currently holding a competition. The content of the competition was to explore the unknown oasis that the family had discovered in the desert. Gu Ting's father was the head of the family, so this time he used his power to get Gu Ting a place with a lower danger level. According to Gu Ting's character, she would definitely not accept it, but her father told her that this matter was not just as simple as a competition. It was also related to the issue of who would be the head of the family in the future.
This made Gu Ting take it seriously and she reluctantly accepted the task that her father had chosen for her out of his own selfish motives.
Otherwise, those peers in the family are not opponents to be trifled with. Even if I am the young lady of the family, those guys still have no respect for me.
On the contrary, precisely because she was the daughter of the family and her father was the patriarch, although they didn't dare to show it too obviously, Gu Ting knew that she was now a thorn in their side. If they didn't defeat her and drive her out of power, then she would be their biggest stumbling block! !
Knowing this clearly, Gu Ting is very stubborn. Even though she is a woman and her family stipulates that women cannot be the head of the family, she still wants to prove to those old guys who says women are inferior to men!
She just wanted to compete with those male juniors! Even if it was just because she couldn't swallow the anger in her heart, she had to compete! It was that simple.
Gu Ting's eyes flickered slightly, and then she came to the center of the crowd and said, "Everyone, I think you all knew the mission very clearly when you accepted it. Our mission this time is to collect herbs, and the place to collect herbs is in that oasis!"
Gu Ting pointed to the green area in the distance and said so.
"Don't worry, miss. This is not the first time we have done this. We certainly know what to do!" said someone holding a big knife in his hand.
"Hahaha! Yes, miss, don't worry. We are here to protect your safety!" Someone else echoed.
"Yes! Of course I believe you!"
Gu Ting nodded slightly, then looked at the housekeeper. After a glance, the housekeeper's eyes became sharp. He then looked at Gu Yuan and the guy who was still mumbling beside Gu Yuan, and said, "Your name is Gu Yuan, and your name is Zhang Liu, right?"
Gu Yuan and the man beside him nodded at the same time.
"Okay! Since you two have chosen to be in the front, then listen carefully. Your current position is the most dangerous position in the team. Needless to say, you should all know very well that being in the front means you have to bear corresponding unknown dangers. I am not afraid to tell you that the oasis in front of us, although explored by our family, was only roughly explored, and then an approximate degree of danger was given. Although the degree of danger according to the family's reaction is not very high, it is not necessarily correct. After all, our family also makes mistakes in judgment. Therefore, the two of you still have a very heavy task! Because you have to stand in the front and be the first to face unknown dangers, do you understand?" asked the butler.
