Hu Yue hesitated only briefly before quickly agreeing to Song Mengmeng's suggestion.
Hu Yue knew very well that although she had resigned, her superiors would not let her go so easily.
There are too many things going on for her if she stays in China, so it would be better for her to go to the smog-ridden country with Song Mengmeng and the others. Perhaps they can solve this problem at its root.
So the next time she received a call from Master Dukong was after she had set foot on the land of the Smog Country.
"It's more complicated than you guessed."
Upon hearing that Hu Yue was currently in the smog-ridden country, Master Dukong clearly breathed a sigh of relief.
"I was worried about what would happen if those people tried to hold you back! Now it seems I was worrying too much."
"It's good that you can go there. The root of this problem doesn't actually lie in our China. If you could go to the smog-ridden country, you might just get to the heart of the matter."
Master Dukong, having said this, couldn't help but change the subject: "By the way, do you know who took over as the head of your special case team this time?!"
"I'm not too sure, anyway I didn't see it."
I only met his representative, who immediately demanded that I obey orders and hand over the three puppet tribesmen! I couldn't be bothered to waste any more words with him, so I simply resigned and left!
Hu Yue didn't have much to recall about that.
She already disliked those people, especially when the so-called representative came over and lectured her in a condescending manner, demanding that she hand over the three puppet clansmen. She had no patience to listen to his nonsense and simply abandoned the task and ran away.
Then, as soon as she arrived, she learned that Song Mengmeng was planning to come to the Haze Country, so she naturally didn't have time to inquire about that much.
"It's Atractylodes macrocephala."
Master Dukong hesitated for a moment before saying, "It is Bai Shu, who came from the Maoshan Sect, but later went into seclusion to cultivate and was hailed as a genius of the entire Xuanmen."
Hu Yue was stunned for a moment.
I never expected that the group leader who came this time would be him.
The feud between the Maoshan Sect and her had been brewing for a long time; it wasn't exactly a direct confrontation, but it was certainly a deep-seated hatred.
Although Bai Shu has been practicing outside in recent years, it cannot change the fact that he comes from the Maoshan Sect.
Although she was indeed on the side of morality in the grand scheme of things, and her actions against the Maoshan Sect were not problematic, people are, after all, from the same faction, aren't they?
It's not that she's petty; it's just that the people in the Maoshan Sect aren't very broad-minded.
The previous attack resulted in heavy losses for the Maoshan Sect, which is now in a state of being unable to hold its head high in the entire Xuanmen (Taoist sect).
It's practically impossible to say that the Maoshan Sect didn't hate her.
While we can't do anything to her outwardly, that doesn't stop us from making things difficult for her.
"As you know, ever since that incident involving the Maoshan Sect, it has been in decline until now; there are not many forces left in our Xuanmen that can stand up and support us."
Regardless of the reason, the higher-ups felt that they couldn't let the Maoshan Sect collapse like this, so they thought of taking this opportunity to give them a helping hand.
I'm telling you all this so you'll have a clear understanding of the situation.
I've already informed your master, so I'm not worried about her. My only concern is you.
"Master, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Hu Yue naturally sensed Master Du Kong's worry. She smiled and calmly reassured him, "I'm not the naive girl who just came down the mountain anymore. Knowing that I'm no match for them now, I didn't rush up to fight them head-on."
Besides, I've already resigned. If they want to kill me, they should at least have a sufficient and reasonable excuse and reason!
Master Dukong wasn't entirely reassured by Hu Yue's words, but he didn't say anything more. He simply told her to be careful and to stay in touch before hanging up.
After ending her conversation with Master Dukong, Hu Yue's expression wasn't exactly pleasant.
Song Mengmeng arrived just in time to see Hu Yue, who had a tense expression, and couldn't help but tilt her head and ask with some concern, "What's wrong? Did they call to collect a debt from you?!"
"No, it's a call from Master Dukong."
Hu Yue didn't hide anything from Song Mengmeng, and straightforwardly explained the current troubles to her before saying, "I have some conflicts with Bai Shu, so..."
"I was involved in dealing with the Maoshan Sect back then! If he wants revenge, he will definitely deal with me as well! There's no reason for him to only target you and not attack me."
That way you won't have to overthink it. Just tell me if anything happens in the future, and we'll face it together.
Hu Yue was interrupted by Song Mengmeng before she could finish speaking.
She looked at Hu Yue with bright, sparkling eyes, looking eager and ready to try, as if she wasn't afraid of trouble from others. "Don't worry, I'm not afraid."
Hu Yue was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter.
Yes, she is indeed overthinking things. As the saying goes, there's always a way out. Now that she knows what kind of person Bai Shu is, she just needs to be more careful in her interactions with him. What's there to be afraid of?
After a good night's rest, the group finally found the address of the phone number the following afternoon, following the address they had previously inquired about.
It was a grocery store located on a street corner.
The streets of Chongqing are quite different from those of China. Although there are bustling new commercial districts here, there are also old neighborhoods where time seems to slow down once you enter.
