Chapter 163: Chapter 163 Going to Tianji Village_1
Two days later, at Yinyang City Airport.
You, carrying an exceedingly simple backpack, are slowly walking through the crowded airport, with a string of people following behind you.
Leading the group are Fan Yi and Yin Guihua, followed by Xiao Feng, Wei Shuxian, Yang Kai, Wu Qiyi, and Xi Yu.
Compared to your heavy heart, the others all seem very relaxed.
Wu Qiyi, who is extremely well-informed, knew about the incident at Fan Yi’s home at 8:01 the next morning. She casually made a phone call, and Fan Yi’s family debts were instantly paid off. Furthermore, a team of agricultural experts was sent to Tianji Village under the guise of developing new agricultural production lines. They led Fan Yi’s family and the entire village through a transformation.
Although the issue at home was resolved, it was strange that Fan Yi’s expression still seemed tense. No matter how the others tried to comfort her, it had no effect whatsoever.
This only deepened the doubts in your mind.
As soon as you left the airport, a beautiful woman in uniform approached you. They first gave you a polite smile and asked, "Hello, may I ask if you are Mr. Li Muyun?"
"Yes, I am."
The two attractive women then glanced at Wu Qiyi and Xi Yu behind you, bowed to them, and cheerfully said, "Please follow me."
Turning to look at Wu Qiyi, you know she is the only one in the group with such capabilities.
"Actually, I find this matter quite interesting too. If we can solve it, it would be a very fulfilling achievement."
Wu Qiyi walks up to you, smiles faintly, her enchanting smile causing everyone around to be mesmerized.
"Buddy, we are a supernatural detective agency after all. It would be a shame not to unravel such an intriguing case and make it known to the world," Xiao Feng says with a chuckle as he brushes past you, following the uniformed beauty into a luxury RV.
"Let’s go, our great Sage Qing. Stop worrying so much, things will straighten out when we reach the bridge!"
Yang Kai gives you a push, almost causing you to stumble into Xi Yu, who has just walked by.
"Sorry."
Xi Yu gives you a slight glance and nods gently, catching up with Wu Qiyi’s pace.
"Hey, Old Shu, I’ve noticed that Goddess Wu’s secretary really has an allure about her; she’s flawless in terms of figure, face, and personality. If..."
"Ahem, although Sister Ying couldn’t join us, I will play back your words just now to her, without missing a single detail," Wei Shuxian says, shaking his phone at you.
"Don’t, Glasses!"
Seeing everyone entering the RV, you smile. Indeed, as Yang, that guy, said, things will straighten out when we reach the bridge. Instead of worrying now, it’s better to play it by ear when you arrive.
The journey from Yinyang Airport to a small town near Tianji Village takes about three hours. By the time you all disembark, the clock has already passed three in the afternoon.
"Oh dear, it’s already so late."
Yin Guihua checks her phone, looking somewhat anxious.
"What’s the rush, young lady? The sun hasn’t even set yet," says Yang Kai nonchalantly.
Yin Guihua glares at Yang Kai irritably: "What do you know? There are no roads suitable for cars from here to our village; we’ll have to take the mountain paths."
"If it’s mountain paths we’ll take, then mountain paths it is," Yang Kai said with an indifferent face.
"At least it will take six hours!"
"Ah?"
Not just Yang Kai, everyone present was taken aback.
Actually, when the RV drove into this small town, you all were shocked by its backwardness too. What kind of small town is this? From end to end, there were only two streets. The best hostel in town was like those little inns next to the train station in Yuhang City.
"Doesn’t that mean we’ll be walking until it’s dark?"
"Not just that, if we don’t cross Kunlong Ridge before nightfall, we’ll have to spend the night on the mountain."
"Spend the night on the mountain? Ho Ho, that’s not a bad idea."
"As for this, Xi Yu was fully prepared even before we set off," Wu Qiyi said with a slight smile. At that moment, Xi Yu brought out two large backpacks from the RV.
"Beauty, need a hand?"
Yang Kai approached with a grin.
"Sure." Xi Yu smiled politely, then tossed one of the large backpacks to Yang Kai. Yang Kai originally thought that something a delicate girl could carry wouldn’t be too heavy; but to his surprise, as soon as he grabbed the backpack, he lost his balance and staggered backward.
If it weren’t for Xiao Feng catching him in time, that idiot would have made a big blunder.
Xi Yu handed the other large backpack to you and after you took it, she said directly, "The facilities in this town are very primitive. It’s better to spend a night in the mountains than to make do here. Master Li, you have experience in this, so we’ll need to rely on you to take care of us on this trip."
You shrugged your shoulders and said with a smile, "I’m merely an amateur. Compared to Miss Xi Yu, I still have a long way to go."
Xi Yu smiled and turned back into the RV.
Yang Kai and Xiao Feng approached, and the latter asked, "Hey, Little Yunyun, why is Xi Yu so strong? Even I, a big guy, find this backpack heavy to carry, yet it seemed like a puff of cotton in her hands, light as can be."
You gave them a sidelong glance and said, "You guys, both hooked up already, should stop drooling over a pretty girl like dogs after a bone. And moreover, please observe carefully before you speak or act. Didn’t the instructor make it clear during military training? If you meet someone who can take ten steps in one breath, whether man or woman, keep a respectful distance. A slap from them could knock a row of your teeth out."
"Take ten steps in one breath?"
Your words made Yang Kai and Xiao Feng begin to pay attention to Xi Yu’s behavior and soon they realized that Xi Yu, with her long breaths and seemingly frail body, had steady strides, was as quick as the wind, and was clearly a master of internal arts!
In fact, you didn’t need to think about it to know that Xi Yu was a master—Wu Qiyi was of notable status, and how could she go on a trip without someone to guard and protect her?
Xi Yu took out four large backpacks in total, filled with professional survival equipment, and they were military-grade!
"You brought all this stuff?"
You asked Xi Yu.
"Secret," Xi Yu teased with a lift of her eyebrow, walking a few steps toward Wu Qiyi before turning back and smiling flirtatiously at you. "If Master Li marries our miss, everything will become very clear."
"Let’s pretend I didn’t ask." You rolled your eyes and then said to everyone, "Let’s move. Just like Guihua said, we must cross Kunlong Ridge before it gets dark!"
"What’s there to fear? Don’t we have the Wolf’s eye flashlights? These things can shine brighter than daytime!"
You blinked and said to Yang Kai with a smirk, "Because there lies a chaotic! Burial! Ground!"
