Chapter 276 The Heartless Forest, Eavesdropping
Niu Ma suddenly sent a message saying that Master Chongyue had taken all the income with him. Ji Xinghan frowned. How could it be like he had absconded with the money?
Does Master Chongyue really not want to live anymore?
If Master Chongyue doesn't value Lady Yingyue enough, she won't be able to choose option A.
Niu Ma suddenly asked, "Madam, are you alright? Master Chongyue shouldn't have set off yet. Or... should I go find Master Chongyue for you?"
Ji Xinghan's heart skipped a beat: "Do you know his location?"
The ox and horse suddenly fell silent. After a long while, they finally spoke: "The Heartless Forest!"
The name "Faithless Forest" is not a good one.
Ji Xinghan immediately opened the map and was surprised to find that two locations were now lit up: Lu Xin Pavilion and Jue Qing Valley.
As for the Heartless Forest, there is no such place at all.
She wanted to ask the ox and horse, but felt she shouldn't. She had already asked several questions, and might have revealed something. Luckily, the ox and horse were rather slow to notice.
If you keep asking, you'll easily give yourself away.
I heard that Madam Yingyue never took the initiative to seek out Master Chongyue before.
She was too proactive this time.
As she hesitated, Niu Ma suddenly said, "300 kilometers north of Lu Xin Ting is Fu Xin Lin. Madam, you may go there if you wish."
Ji Xinghan's eyes lit up. This was wonderful! The ox and horse were so considerate; now she knew where she was.
She quickly asked the arson squad, "Lu Gan, Jiang Lingyue, do you guys have anyone near coordinates xxx, xxx?"
The coordinates she mentioned are roughly near the Heartless Forest.
Jiang Lingyue immediately replied, "I asked, yes, Qin Shuang. She'll be back soon. I'll have her bring you!"
Soon, Qin Shuang pulled Ji Xinghan over.
Ji Xinghan and Qin Shuang bid each other farewell, determined their location, and rushed towards the Heartless Forest.
After walking for a long time, she finally saw a bamboo forest.
This is a plain with only scattered trees; only this bamboo grove can be called a forest.
She walked over quietly, and just as she was about to arrive, she suddenly saw two familiar faces—Long Si and Long Shisan.
The two men were surrounded by three people dressed in identical, sleek black clothes, who looked almost identical. They were holding long swords and slashing at the two men.
Long Si and Long Shisan were tied up.
Long Shisan shouted, "Get out of here!"
Once Long Si calmed down, he smiled and said, "Are you Master Chongyue's people? We have a misunderstanding with the master. Could you let me see him?"
The three people remained silent, focusing intently on making several cuts on the two individuals.
Long Shisan shouted, "Fourth Brother, why are you paying attention to them? They're like robots, they never say a word!"
As soon as he finished speaking, one of the men in black suddenly grabbed his chin and stuffed something into his mouth.
Long Shisan wanted to vomit, but because his jaw was restrained, he couldn't vomit and just swallowed it down.
Another person took out white powder and sprinkled it on Long Si's wound.
After doing all that, the three of them turned and left, completely ignoring the two people trapped on the ground.
Ji Xinghan found it strange and was about to walk over when he saw Long Si struggle and free his hand to tear open a card. A dozen people rushed over with a "whoosh".
As soon as they arrived, they shouted, "Boss, we've finally found you!"
Long Shisan yelled, "What are you dawdling for? Come over here and untie us!"
Those men released Long Si and Long Shisan. Long Si's face was grim: "This is not good. Let's go, we need to go back to the gang immediately!"
In the blink of an eye, the entire group had vanished.
Ji Xinghan thought for a moment and decided to go find Master Chongyue first. She immediately headed towards the bamboo forest.
This time, she specially brought Wangzai and Xiaodingdang with her, and sent two of them out first to find out the truth.
Just two minutes later, Doraemon returned: "Meow, there are people over there, four of them!"
Four?
Ji Xinghan immediately followed Xiao Dingdang. After entering the bamboo forest, she carefully made her way forward. After walking for only a few minutes, she heard Master Chongyue's voice: "Don't worry about them, those two won't survive."
"Yes!" It was an unfamiliar voice.
"Master, aren't you going to find Madam?" the voice asked again.
Ji Xinghan immediately held his breath.
She really wanted to know who Master Chongyue was talking to. This place was called the Forest of Unfaithful Hearts. Could it be that Master Chongyue had really betrayed Madam Yingyue?
"Alas, this is really unfortunate. I absolutely must attend the Alchemy Conference. If I don't go this time, I'm afraid I won't be qualified next time!" Master Chongyue sighed.
"Master, we will take good care of Madam. Please go ahead," the unfamiliar voice said.
“Alright, I’ll only be gone for one day. I’ll go find Yue’er as soon as I get back,” Master Chongyue said.
"Master, Yingyue is actually of little value now..." a strange voice suddenly said.
"Shut up!" Master Chongyue's voice was filled with anger. "I love Yue'er. She is my wife, now and forever."
"Yes, Master, your subordinate deserves to die!" the unfamiliar voice said anxiously.
Master Chongyue sighed again and suddenly said, "I went through so much trouble and schemes to get her, how can I let her go? Besides, she's really strong. Only love can hold such a strong woman. Luckily, she falls for it!"
Ji Xinghan was shocked!
Master Chongyue said Lady Yingyue was very strong. In what aspect? Martial arts?
By the way, Lady Yingyue only needs to flick her sleeve to hit someone, but Master Chongyue has to use his hands to hit someone.
Furthermore, Jinluo could only teleport her a short distance, but Lady Yingyue could casually wave her hand and teleport her a great distance.
So, Lady Yingyue may seem weak, but she is actually very strong?
Master Chongyue's words just now made Ji Xinghan very uncomfortable.
What does it mean to obtain something through scheming? What does it mean to be bound by love? These words don't contain the word "love"!
Her face darkened. It seemed that choosing option A would make it easy for Master Chongyue and Madam Yingyue to reconcile. In fact, it wouldn't take long. A day later, when Master Chongyue returned from the alchemy conference, he could go and coax Madam Yingyue directly.
Choosing this mission path is practically a guaranteed win.
However, she felt a little sorry for Lady Yingyue.
Moreover, it is quite obvious that Lady Yingyue has always been thinking about someone else.
However, if you choose direction A, the task is really easy to complete.
Ji Xinghan was filled with countless thoughts.
As she hesitated, she suddenly heard Master Chongyue say, "Has the Poison Envoy begun his operation?"
An unfamiliar voice: "It has begun, Master. Rest assured, the Poison Messenger is activated. The entire world will be ravaged by the virus, and disaster will rage!"
Ji Xinghan was startled.
What does this mean? Where did this poison-spreading messenger come from?
Hearing the name is bad news. Also, there's the rampant virus and the raging disaster.
Master Chongyue chuckled softly, sounding very pleased, and said, "Alright, it's time for us to make money!"
A strange voice exclaimed with delight, "Master, can you handle Madam Yingyue? She's always been kind-hearted, and she sells the potions and armor she painstakingly makes at low prices, which is too good for them."
Master Chongyue chuckled: "Don't worry, I can handle it!"
Ji Xinghan's heart was racing!
