Actually, what Dongdan Shuiyue wanted to say was that she wasn't worried about the Zhou family in Guyue City.
Rather, the threat came from the Zhou family of Yanjing and the Dongdan family.
Dongdan Shuiyue was more worried about the group of people who had robbed her that day, the same group that was most likely to kill Dongdan Wenhao.
She felt a little regretful. That day, the man had said that they were hired to attack the Dongdan family.
If she had done as that person had said the day before, and had raised a white flag outside the Dongdan family's auction house and hired that group of people, she would now have one less worry and one more source of help.
But now that the convoy has already set off, if she goes to hang up a white flag and contact people again, it will not only lack sincerity, but also be an eyesore.
“I will escort you a few more miles. Once the people at the family outpost ahead meet you and the group has a Nascent Soul stage cultivator protecting them, it won’t be too late for me to go back.”
Dongdan Shuiyue sighed inwardly and quietly transmitted her thoughts to Dongdan Motong: "Motong, in the past, with Dongdan Wenhao around, we always controlled this lifeline of transporting supplies to earn reputation. This is my first time being in charge of transporting supplies back to Yanjing. You must protect the things I've given you. If you encounter any situation on the way, remember to extricate yourself in time to save your life and bring the things back to Yanjing alive!"
"I understand, Miss. Please rest assured, I will protect your storage ring even if it costs me my life," Dongdan Motong solemnly replied via telepathy.
Five miles ahead, at the Dongdan family's outpost and rendezvous point.
Bai Yusheng and a group of newly recruited Core Formation stage cultivators had just finished cleaning up the traces of the fighting inside and outside the outpost.
Ji Fengyao gestured to the Nascent Soul stage cultivator from the Dongdan family, and disguised Lu Yang, a newly recruited Nascent Soul stage cultivator.
Meanwhile, within this outpost, some other members of the Dongdan family disguised themselves as their own people of equal cultivation level.
In this way, the outposts of the Dongdan family were filled with their people.
After doing all this, Ji Fengyao had Bai Yusheng and Zhuang Shaoze take the rest of the men to change into the Zhou family's clothes, then put on a layer of black clothing to lie in ambush further ahead. She herself disguised herself as a small fry and stayed at the sentry post, waiting with Lu Yang and the others to meet up with Dongdan Shuiyue's convoy.
“Miss, the people sent by the Dongdan family to deliver goods are not very strong. We have also taken over Dongdan’s first outpost, so they are no match for us. We can just wait at the outpost to be the lambs to the slaughter. Why bother with all this trouble?” The newly recruited An Zijin is also a Nascent Soul cultivator and the only female cultivator besides Bai Yusu.
Bai Yusu's cultivation level is too low, so it's not advisable to take her out on missions that are too dangerous.
An Zijin's appearance filled this void perfectly.
Ji Fengyao is a woman, and she needs a female assistant by her side to make things more convenient and also to avoid suspicion.
Moreover, Anzi's personality combines the straightforwardness and irritability of Xique with the shrewdness and tact of Bailu.
Ji Fengyao was very satisfied with her and intended to cultivate her into her right-hand woman.
“What we’re doing isn’t a one-off deal. Right now, only the Zhou family can withstand the wrath of the Dongdan family,” Ji Fengyao explained patiently with a smile.
An Zijin buried her head in thought for a moment, and when she looked up again, her eyes were full of light. She said excitedly, "Miss is right. I was short-sighted!"
At that moment, the faint sound of cart wheels came from the direction of Guyue City.
Ji Fengyao smeared the human skin on her face, instantly transforming from a charming and lovely young woman into a thin and naive girl. She chuckled and said, "The big fat sheep has arrived. Has everyone sharpened their knives?"
