Chapter 258 Finding Help, Keeping a Promise
Ji Xinghan was taken aback. Had he been exposed?
How was it exposed?
She paused slightly, gritted her teeth, and decided that since Lian Yushi was in her hands, she would insist that he was sent by Madam Yingyue. What could the apprentice in front of her do?
Her face immediately darkened: "You don't believe me? Fine, then I'll go back to Madam and I won't help you with this!"
She turned and left, walking very quickly.
The apprentice behind him paused for a moment, then shouted, "Wait a minute!"
Ji Xinghan ran even faster. She thought of something: as long as the apprentice sent a message, the jade pendant would make a "ding-dong" sound. If the apprentice found the jade pendant on her, she would be finished.
This is the point that is easily exposed.
She needs to put the jade stone away properly!
You also need to give it to someone you trust!
She ran for five minutes through the red maple forest, and then, with a "thump-thump," the jade pendant made a sound.
She took it out and saw the apprentice's message: "Madam, the helper you found has run away because of me. Please bring her back, and I will apologize to her."
Ji Xinghan took out the jade ring to unlock it and sent: "???"
Apprentice: "Madam, I'm sorry, please let her come back. I'm really too tired!"
Ji Xinghan asked in the survival group, "Who among you has time right now?"
Jian Lin: "Me? I have time."
Jin Baiwan and Song Zhuo ran into Madam Yingyue by chance. Ge Xiaochuan was doing something, and only Jian Lin was idle.
Ji Xinghan formed a group with Jian Lin and tried to use the "Call Friends" feature, but found that it could not be used because it was in a special area.
It seems that the Red Leaf Forest is a special area. Ji Xinghan ran around and finally, recalling the previous route, he managed to get out of the Red Leaf Forest and pull Jian Lin out.
Ji Xinghan took out the jade stone and sent a message: "Okay, she's just trying to help. Don't make things too difficult for her. If you make her angry and she leaves, I won't be able to find anyone else to help you."
The reply came: "Yes, ma'am."
The apprentice is finally behaving a bit better!
Ji Xinghan handed the jade stone to Jian Lin and gave him a few instructions.
Then they quickly returned to the small courtyard made of blue bricks.
The red maple forest was lush with trees and winding paths, seemingly with countless trails leading in all directions. If she hadn't had a good memory and memorized the routes, she would never have been able to find her way back.
Upon arriving at the small courtyard with its blue bricks, the gate opened slightly. Ji Xinghan knocked, and an apprentice inside said, "Please come in!"
This guy finally got a little polite!
Ji Xinghan pushed open the courtyard gate and went inside.
The young man who looked like an ox nodded slightly: "Let me introduce myself, my name is Niu Ma!"
"Ox and horse?" Ji Xinghan raised an eyebrow. That was quite fitting. She replied dismissively, "Ahem, a good name!"
The ox and horse grunted and waved their hands, saying, "Come with me!"
She led Ji Xinghan inside.
This courtyard is quite large, surrounded by high walls on all four sides. Inside, there is a second courtyard with six rooms on each side.
The ox and horse led her to the first house on the left.
Ji Xinghan smelled the overwhelming stench of blood.
It's alright, the smell isn't too strong.
Here are rows of large pots, pots
Upon closer inspection, Ji Xinghan discovered that they were pots of red medicine.
Niu Ma Yizhi said, "All you need to do is add firewood, make sure the fire isn't too big or too small, and stir it occasionally."
Ji Xinghan glanced around and saw stacks of firewood piled up on the side of the house.
Niu Ma looked at her and sighed, "You alone are not enough. There are 12 rooms in total, so we need 12 people."
Ji Xinghan immediately said, "We still need 11 more people? No problem, I can bring some."
Niu Ma stared at her: "Can you guarantee they'll do a good job and not slack off? These things need to be cooked for 24 hours straight without sleep!"
24 hours?
Ji Xinghan's heart skipped a beat: "Does this mean that all the medicine needed to open the service area will be ready in 24 hours?"
The ox and horse nodded: "Yes!"
Ji Xinghan immediately agreed: "No problem!"
Finding someone is easy, isn't it?
Niu Ma's eyes lit up: "If you can find 11 more people to help me brew the medicine for 24 hours, I will be able to prepare the medicines in the other rooms and start brewing them. You guys take care of this, I'll go inside to make the D-grade medicines!"
Ji Xinghan nodded again: "Okay, no problem!"
She glanced at the pile of pots and pans in the room: "I'm going out to meet them now. Wait for me a moment."
She has to go out and recruit people.
The oxen and horses nodded.
After Ji Xinghan took two steps, he suddenly asked, "You were sent by Madam, so you should be trustworthy, right?"
Ji Xinghan turned around: "Of course!"
At the same time, Jian Lin sent a private message: "Ah, Lianyu Stone rang. I saw someone sent a message."
Ji Xinghan: "Wait for me to come back!"
Ji Xinghan ran out of the red leaf forest and saw Jian Lin. She took the jade stone and saw that there was a message sent by Niu Ma on it.
Niu Ma: "Madam, are your people trustworthy? She's going to take a few people with her, is that alright?"
Ji Xinghan replied, "You can completely trust her!"
Ji Xinghan thought for a moment and asked, "Oh, right, we can't let them help for nothing. Do you think we could make them VIP members?"
Niu Ma replied quickly: "Okay, we'll do as Madam says."
Niu Ma: "We have regular members, silver members, gold members, and diamond members here. I don't have the authority to set diamond members; at most, I can set them as gold members. Is that alright with you?"
Ji Xinghan was overjoyed: "Great!"
Not bad, we even earned them a membership!
Ji Xinghan said in the survival group: "Song Zhuo, Baiwan, any progress on your end? If not, come back quickly, I have good news!"
Jin Baiwan: "Okay, let's come back. Sigh, the casualties at Broken Heart Lake are too high, we're not going there!"
She brought these people into the team and recruited them.
There are four people this time, but we still need seven more.
She thought for a moment and then messaged Qi Xiangxiang privately: "It's about the progress of the mission, are you coming or not?"
Qi Xiangxiang: "Come on!"
Five more people are needed, and among those she knows well are Jiang Lingyue and Lu Gan.
Jiang Lingyue is still trustworthy, but what about Lu Gan...?
Ji Xinghan hesitated for a moment.
Although Lu Gan had a heart-to-heart talk with her once, it was still a bit inappropriate for him to be a former member of the Red Team.
As she hesitated, Lu Gan messaged her privately: "Ji Xinghan, if you need me, just let me know. I have a 'A Promise is a Promise' card here. You can use it to confirm our promise."
Ji Xinghan was taken aback. What a coincidence?
Was Lu Gan watching her? Or was there an undercover agent among the people she contacted privately?
She counted them one by one. It shouldn't be like this. Jin Baiwan, Jian Lin, and the others were definitely fine, and Qi Xiangxiang and Chu Feifei were also trustworthy.
Lu Gan quickly sent another private message: "Sorry, I was with Jin Baiwan and Song Zhuo just now. They were looking worried, but suddenly they were all smiles and left in a hurry. I guess you might have made some progress."
I see?
Before Ji Xinghan could reply, Lu Gan sent over two cards—[A Promise Worth a Thousand Pieces of Gold]—saying, "You'll need them someday, here you go!"
[A promise is a promise: Promises must be kept, otherwise penalties will be imposed, the specific penalties of which will be determined by the user!]
That shows sincerity.
Ji Xinghan first contacted Jiang Lingyue privately to explain the situation.
Jiang Lingyue was overjoyed: "No problem, we'll go right now. How many are you short? I have thirty or forty trustworthy sisters here, you can call them anytime!"
