Yunying noticed that Shang Zhirong was still unconscious and patted Xiao Xu on the shoulder, "Wake Zhirong up too."
Xiao Xu: "Oh, oh, oh."
Yun Ying walked towards Hua Ansu, taking quite a long time to reach her, because Hua Ansu had already wrinkled her nose and slipped away when Xiao Xu pulled out the bottle stopper.
He looked at the young girl in front of him; she looked no more than eighteen, really young, especially compared to himself who was forty.
“Greetings, Miss Hua. Xiao Xu said that you killed the Brown Ape. He has no way to repay your life-saving grace. I am Yun Ying, and I owe you a debt of gratitude.”
Hua Ansu glanced at him. This man knew perfectly well that the little lion had killed the brown ape, yet he still said that. "I told him that I was the one who cleared out the beasts here, not that I killed the brown ape."
That's true, Ah Hu and Little Lion were the ones she "cleaned up".
She continued, "Speaking of which, those two liger beasts are your saviors. If it weren't for them, you would have been in serious trouble with this brown ape. Although the liger beast fought with you, it didn't kill you in the end."
Hua Ansu's words made Yun Ying laugh. This little girl had subtly mocked him with her words. Judging from her tone, she had probably been around here for a while.
However, he was very curious as to why the liger beast would let them go. Was it really as she said that she "cleaned" them up?
Yun Ying clasped his hands slightly and said, "Then I thank Miss Hua for getting rid of the tiger-lion beast."
Hua Ansu hummed in agreement and accepted his thanks. She was never one to shy away from sweet talk and accepted anything without hesitation.
"My name is Yun Ying, the leader of a mercenary group. I'm here on a mission with my team. May I ask who you two ladies are..."
A-Gu, who had come over, answered the question for Hua Ansu, "We're also on a mission. Commander Yunying and other comrades are waiting for us, so we have to go first."
Yun Ying looked up at A Yigu. He had only glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, but now that he looked at him seriously, he was shocked. This aura... really didn't seem like that of an eighteen-year-old boy.
Reserved, composed... he's like someone who's walked on a knife's edge.
It's no wonder Yun Ying thought that way. From the beginning, he never thought Hua Ansu and A Yigu were simple. This was the Blood Punishment Forest, and the only ones who dared to come here alone were...
No, the boy said they had other companions.
However, they were on a mission. When did two mercenaries become people he didn't know about?
"I see. Yunying thanks you again. I won't keep you any longer. We'll meet again in Picheng if fate allows."
A-Yi Gu nodded.
Hua Ansu waved goodbye.
Xiao Xu said goodbye with reluctance.
After the two left, Xiao Xu said regretfully, "Commander, why didn't you invite them to stay? You could have brought their companions with you, so they could have looked out for each other."
Yun Ying stared at him, "A person's advantage lies in knowing their own limitations. Don't expect them to escort us to Picheng. Why would they? You're just dreaming!"
Xiao Xu hung his head, "...I understand, Commander."
Waaah, he was just thinking that since everyone was a mercenary and needed to go back to Pi City anyway, there was no harm in traveling together. Besides, traveling in a group would be safer, so why not...
"Commander, are you alright?"
It was Shang Zhirong. Xiao Xu woke her up and then ignored her, eagerly running over to eavesdrop on Yun Ying and Hua Ansu's gossip. So she was in a daze when she woke up, and it was only now that she had calmed down on her own.
