Chapter 167 The Cold-Hearted Master
What are your conditions?
“I do need your information, so I will keep an eye on the safety of the surroundings and let you know as soon as possible,” Yan Chen rubbed his fingers together, his smile somewhat wicked. “But I will keep my distance from you to avoid a repeat of what happened just now, so I don’t get wronged for no reason.”
"This..." Boss Li hesitated for a moment. Judging from Yan Chen's words, he only intended to inform him of the danger and not to help.
“Young man…you saw the power of that monster just now. Although we have some experience, we still have a hard time dealing with it. How about this: if you encounter anything like that again that makes you unhappy, don’t be shy. I’ll just give you the information about the villages in the Qinling Mountains, and you can just leave.”
"But let's forget about keeping our distance, shall we? Once we get there, I'll not only tell you about the villages and help you find people, but I'll also give you the notes about the Qinling Mountains from He Mu Ji. How about that?"
Yan Chen raised an eyebrow, feeling a little sorry for this guy. Was he really that afraid of dying?
"You said this matter is indeed going smoothly, but I haven't heard you mention anything about anything outside the Qinling Ancient Tomb until now. In addition, I don't recognize the characters in your He Tomb Collection. What if you're just using me, and after you find the ancient tomb, you team up to kill me? What should I do?"
“So that’s what you’re worried about, young man. Although I, Old Li, am a businessman, I’m also a man of integrity,” Boss Li laughed heartily, patting his belly. “Five miles west of this hot spring waterfall, there’s a village with many elderly people. They know everything that’s happened in the last few decades. Go there and ask around; you might find the person you’re looking for.”
Hmm~ Mr. Li really wasn't lying.
Yan Chen had lived deep in the Qinling Mountains for over 13,000 years and knew this place intimately. There was indeed a village five miles to the west, and many elderly people lived there, but now there were also many able-bodied men, and the people were known for their fierce nature. If he were a reckless young man and ran in like that, who knew how many pieces he would be divided into and how many deals he would be made...
Sigh~ Never mind, just take it as the truth! Once I've tested the Wang family and reunited with Xiao Huai, what does it matter to him whether these people live or die?
"I've remembered what Mr. Li said. Thank you. Once you find the ancient tomb, please keep your promise."
"Of course, young man, shall we go?"
"Please, Mr. Li."
Not far away, the only two people diligently keeping an eye on Yan Chen and the others, Black Glasses and Xie Lianrui, exchanged a glance, then stepped forward and followed. As for the two absent-minded guys behind them, they would catch up, so there was no need to worry about them.
"Master... although there's no penalty for abandoning the mission, what if we need the rewards later? Let's go check it out!"
"Take this incineration cauldron for example. It can completely incinerate the soul power within Yanxi Demon Pearl, so you won't be tormented by his insane words anymore. And then there's this infinite wardrobe. Those clothes you have scattered here and there in your space, shirts here and underwear there, it's time to tidy them up..."
Yan Huai, deeply hurt by Qi Yu's innocent words, was speechless.
Zhang Qiling, who could hear Yan Huai and Qi Yu's conversation, was speechless.
"Shut up!" Yan Huai gripped Zhang Qiling's hand tightly as she tried to pull it back, and replied through gritted teeth, "I didn't say we were going to abandon the mission. Yan Chen can't leave yet, and that Master Liang is also problematic."
