"Let's go!" Qi Po was rude to Master Qin Guan and ignored his greeting. She walked slowly to Mu Qingli and the others, said two words expressionlessly, and turned to walk towards the West Mountain.
"Director Zhou, are you going too?" Mu Qingli couldn't help but ask with some concern. How could a leader easily take such a risk? He didn't even bring a few people with him.
"Haha! I'm pretty good too!" Director Zhou said with a smile.
He naturally knew what she meant, but Captain Wang was promoted by him. He was outstanding in both character and ability. He had to go in person to feel at ease. Moreover, he liked stories about strange people and strange things the most. Whenever he had the chance to meet them, he would hide in the bureau waiting for news, which made him feel uneasy.
Naturally, he would not say these things. As the saying goes, a gentleman will die for his friend. Even if they cannot become fellow travelers, it is still worth it to gain some experience.
After hearing this, Mu Qingli couldn't help but nodded. Seeing that Zhou Tao and the others didn't stop him, it showed that they had confidence in Director Zhou. He must be a capable person, otherwise how could he have been promoted?
Then, they exchanged a glance, stifling laughter as they chased after Qi Po, leaving Qin Guanzhu alone, disheveled in the wind. Did ordinary people these days value cultivators so little? Could it be that he'd been in seclusion for too long, and the world had changed? Qin Guanzhu began to doubt himself.
The group was not walking slowly. What was strange was that although Qi Po looked like she was staggering, she was not lagging behind at all.
The group followed Qi Po all the way to the mountain road. Mu Qingli was neither red in the face nor out of breath, and Qi Po was almost the same. However, the others were in a miserable state. They almost collapsed to the ground as soon as they stopped, gasping for breath to rest.
Zhou Tao and the others were ordinary people, and it was normal for them to feel tired after climbing non-stop. But what about Qin Guanzhu? How could he also be exhausted? And he was even counting the length of his tongue... Mu Qingli was speechless.
What was even more speechless was that Director Zhou and the others felt that their physical strength was not as good as an old lady. Where could they go to seek justice? Director Zhou thought to himself, he had just said that he was very powerful, but he didn't expect to be slapped in the face so quickly.
He didn't think that it was normal for Mu Qingli to think that there was a difference in physical strength between ordinary people and practitioners. He only knew that he was not even as good as a man in his seventies or eighties. He had been sitting in the office for too long, and his physical strength was gone. He had regressed and was almost useless.
Thinking that they must intensify their training after returning, of course, the people he brought with him were also quite useless and had to train together. Zhou Tao and the others didn't know that what was waiting for them would be a beating and baptism by a violent storm.
Mu Qingli's attention was on Qi Po. It was normal for Qi Po to be familiar with the road, but how could her physical strength be so good? After all, she was an old woman on her deathbed, so how could she be so powerful? Was it because of her cultivator's physique?
"What are you looking at, little girl?" Qi Po felt Mu Qingli's gaze and couldn't help but look up at her and asked.
"It's nothing, I just think that Qi Po has great physical strength!" Mu Qingli praised with a smile.
"Oh! I have lived in the mountains for nearly fifty years, climbing over mountains and crossing ridges every day. What is this little mountain road?" said Grandma Qi with a sneer.
She casually glanced at the men sitting in a mess on the ground. Although her eyes were calm, Mu Qingli read the word contempt in her eyes.
Fortunately, Director Zhou was just sitting down to rest and recover his strength and didn't notice it. Otherwise, he would have been upset if he had seen it.
They prepared to cross the cliff only after everyone had rested well. Otherwise, it would be more troublesome if they were exhausted on the way.
Several people went over one by one: Qi Po, Mu Qingli, Zhou Ju, Zhou Tao, Sun Hai, and finally Qin Guanzhu.
"Oh my god!" A horrified cry came from behind, "Why didn't anyone tell me that I would take this road? There is a cliff next to it. If I fall down, I will be smashed to pieces." Qin Guanzhu's chattering complaints were annoying.
"It's okay, just stick to the mountain wall! You won't fall!" Sun Hai comforted.
"How do you know you won't fall?"
“I’ve been back and forth many times!”
"That's because you've been going back and forth so many times, not me!"
"Are you leaving or not? You talk too much nonsense!" Mu Qingli looked lazy and spoke impatiently.
"I won't leave!" Master Qin Guan actually acted like a rogue.
"Then go back!" Mu Qingli said sarcastically.
"How can that be?" Master Qin Guan said in a hoarse voice.
"Or...you can go around the West Mountain?" Mu Qingli said hesitantly.
“…” Qin Guan was speechless.
"Pfft...Hahahaha!" Someone couldn't hold back the laughter anymore and burst out laughing.
Then, the laughter was so magical that it came one after another. Mu Qingli couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and blink. Is everyone's sense of humor so low?
Director Zhou, who was standing behind Mu Qingli, couldn't help but laugh even louder when he saw Mu Qingli turning around with a confused look on her face.
After they finished laughing, Master Qin Guan said, "What are you laughing at? Haven't you seen someone who is afraid of heights?" They were all a little exasperated.
"Close your eyes and walk along the cliff..."
"What! You want me to cross the cliff with my eyes closed? Do you want to see a circus?"
"...Can you let me finish my words? Are you being polite?" Mu Qingli said helplessly, "You walked along the cliff with your eyes closed, pulling Sun Hai in front of you..."
"Don't! I'm afraid he will drag me down..." Sun Hai suddenly added.
“…”Mu Qingli rolled her eyes and took out a small bundle of rope from her bag.
"Use this to pull yourself up, so you won't get hurt even if you fall!" Mu Qingli untied the rope and pulled it from behind as usual when stringing the candied haws.
"..." Are you afraid of falling? Not a single one should be left alive! Are you afraid that he will fall and there will be no one to take his place? Several people looked up at the sky in silence.
They didn't know that the vines created by Mu Qingli's wood-based ability could catch anyone who fell in. The rope was just to give them psychological comfort.
"Don't worry! I'm here!" Mu Qingli obviously thought of their worries. Seeing that everyone looked hopeless, she quickly spoke to comfort them.
After a lot of effort, Master Qin Guan finally managed to pull the rope and get on the road. He closed his eyes and clung tightly to the cliff, not daring to even look at the abyss, which made the people in front of him look down on him.
No wonder the young master we hired earlier couldn't see anything unusual in this mountain. After all, they were just people seeking fame and reputation. If the master is such a coward, what abilities can the others have? No, this master is not as good as the young master. After all, he is not afraid of heights.
Several people walked forward slowly, and with the addition of a funny monk, the monk was a burden, which slowed them down and made everyone extremely angry. They wanted to kick him down if he didn't fall down.
But someone had no idea at all, and kept yelling as he walked: "Walk slower!"
"Oh my! It's so high! Are you scared?"
…
"I saw it, I saw it! No, I'm dizzy!"
…
No matter how he performed, everyone remained silent and didn't bother to pay attention to this guy who was holding them back.
"I'm telling you..."
"Shut up! Shut up!"
Master Qin Guan wanted to talk more, but Qipo couldn't help it and said something coldly. In an instant, the world was quiet.
Everyone laughed secretly, you have no ability and you talk too much, you deserve to be scolded, there is really a conqueror!
