There were not many people in this group, only ten, two women and eight men. Except for one man and one woman who were dressed in bright and fancy clothes, the others were all wearing uniform navy blue robes!
One of the men was, just as Jun Zichen had said before, an old man with gray hair and a sharp gaze that occasionally flashed across his eyes. It was obvious from the looks of it that he was not a good person!
"Uncle Hai, you always say that it won't be long, but now we have walked so far!" A young man in a purple robe with gold edges in the middle of the team looked at the old man with some dissatisfaction and complained in a low voice.
The old man looked at the young man calmly and said, "Seventh Young Master, just a little longer...Seventh Young Master, please rest assured!"
Before he could finish his words, the old man seemed to have discovered something. He glanced around sharply, scanning the hiding place of An Ran and the others. He frowned in confusion, wondering what he was thinking...
An Ran and the others quickly restrained their breath again, reducing their breathing to the lowest level!
The "Seventh Young Master" as Uncle Hai referred to him looked at Uncle Hai's every move with dissatisfaction, frowned and said in a somewhat reproachful manner: "Uncle Hai, stop being so suspicious. Since we entered the mountains until now, how many times have you noticed people around us, and every time nothing happened!"
Hearing these somewhat reproachful words, Uncle Hai glared at the Seventh Young Master unhappily. He did this for the safety of their group, otherwise, he would not bother to care whether the surrounding environment was safe or not!
In the team, the woman in the colorful long dress walked gracefully to the Seventh Young Master and said to him in a very gentle tone, "Cousin, he said it was for our own good, so don't be too harsh on him."
The Seventh Young Master was not appeased by the beauty's comfort, but his anger grew even greater! He glared at Uncle Hai, snorted coldly and said:
"Hmph, Cairong, stop speaking well of him. He's deceived me so many times along the way! I told him to follow those students from Orr College, but he refused to listen and forced me to go around most of the mountain and enter the Apocalypse Mountains from a corner!"
Cai Rong continued to comfort the Seventh Young Master, saying softly, "Cousin, you can't say that. We've encountered so many dangers along the way. If it weren't for Uncle Hai, we might have lost our lives long ago. Uncle Hai's contribution is enormous!"
Speaking of this, the Seventh Young Master became even more angry. He looked at his cousin who used to be as soft as a boneless and as beautiful as a fairy, but now she has turned into a sick beauty after following him into the mountains!
He said angrily, "Cousin, I'm not being too harsh. If we had followed those freshmen, we wouldn't have to suffer so much. Cousin, you wouldn't have become so weak!"
Cairong smiled softly, looking at her cousin with eyes full of love, and said softly: "It's not hard for Cairong, I did all this voluntarily! As long as I can follow you, cousin, I am not afraid of any hardship."
Uncle Hai, who was standing aside, couldn't bear to watch it any more. If the head of the family hadn't asked the old man to let him come and accompany the Seventh Young Master, he would never have come to the Apocalypse Mountains with this spoiled kid at home!
He snorted coldly, his eyes swept over Qi Shao and Cai Rong sharply, suppressing the anger in his heart and shouting, "Everyone keep moving forward!"
Under Uncle Hai's sharp gaze, Qi Shao and Cai Rong fell silent and continued to walk forward with Uncle Hai.
The group passed the area where An Ran and the other five were hiding and continued to move forward until Jun Zichen could no longer sense the old man's spiritual sense probing. He then breathed a sigh of relief and sent a message to An Ran, An Yu, Xu Errong, and Su Fanjun:
"It's basically safe now. I think the plan we discussed earlier needs some changes. Everyone, run directly to the flat area to my left. There we will discuss what to do next!"
After a while, the five people gathered together, and the expressions on their faces were filled with a hint of doubt and worry.
Jun Zichen spoke first, "Let me ask two questions first. The first question is for Su Fanjun. Are you sure that according to the information you have gathered, the four major families are teaming together or separately? The second question is, which family is this person who just came over?"
Su Fanjun frowned slightly. He thought for a moment before saying, "My confidant passed on the news to me. He said that after we completely left the imperial capital, the people from the four major families regrouped and set off with dozens of people. They followed quietly from a distance until they saw a large group of them enter the mountains in person, and then they left.
As for what happened after they entered the mountains, that is unknown. As for the second question, I can also answer you that they are from the Shangguan family!
Uncle Hai is the personal bodyguard of the old man of the Shangguan family and is almost inseparable from him. The seventh young master is Shangguan Qingkong, the second son of the Shangguan family. He is a playboy in the imperial capital and his strength is not that great, especially compared with his elder brother Shangguan Ziyun. The difference is simply worlds apart!
But I didn't expect that the Shangguan family would actually send him to participate in this event instead of Shangguan Ziyun! What on earth are they thinking? Don't they want the treasure this time? "
As he thought of this, Su Fanjun frowned deeply.
Xu Errong said calmly, "This isn't hard to imagine. As far as I know, Shangguan Ziyun has been in seclusion with the help of several elders of the Shangguan Family, and now he can't come out. The Shangguan Family is narrow-minded, and they certainly don't want someone from a side branch to participate in such an important event on behalf of their main branch.
Maybe instead of letting those people from the side branches take the lion's share of these treasures, they would rather these things were taken by people from the other three families!
Besides, it's not like they don't care about this event. Didn't they see that Uncle Hai, who is inseparable from the old man of the Shangguan family, was sent out to participate in this event?"
Speaking of Uncle Hai, An Yu couldn't help but laugh. He said contemptuously, "Uncle Hai is indeed a great man, but it's a pity that he followed the wrong master. Shangguan Qingkong doesn't particularly respect him!"
Listening to them all discussing Uncle Hai, An Ran frowned and interjected calmly, "Who exactly is Cai Rong? I don't think she's particularly strong. Why on earth would the Shangguan family let her participate in this event?"
(To be continued.)
