Chapter 122: Exclusive Group?

Chapter 122: Chapter 122: Exclusive Group?

Finally, Liu Sunhao walked to Gu Jin’s side and threw his arms around her neck,

"Hey, Little brother I truly find you amusing and interesting, why don’t you join our group?"

Gu Jin almost rolled her eyes.

"Aren’t I already in the group?"

Liu Sunhao shook his head.

"No! I am talking about my group."

"And who are the other members of your group?" Gu Jin decided to play a little and asked.

Liu Sunhao’s mouth twitched. This little brother of theirs was truly...too cold!

"Xu Mingtao." Liu Sunhao said with difficulty when Gu Jin continued to stare at him.

"Oh? And?" Gu Jin asked. As if asking him to continue with the names of the members of his group.

Liu Sunhao forced a smile as he said,

"And me."

"And?" Gu Jin was relentless.

Liu Sunhao suddenly shook his head and said with a mysterious expression,

"No more. You might not know this but our group is very special and only a few people can enter the group."

Gu Jin said sharply,

"Oh? Isn’t this ’only a few people’ group makes your group look shabby?"

Liu Sunhao didn’t back down and said,

"That is based on the perspective you see it from. From my point of view, it is an exclusive group.

"From my point of view, it is very mysterious!" Xu Mingtao chimed in.

"And from my point of view, it is loads of bullsh*t." Gu Jin uttered coldly.

Yi Ran who was hearing the entire conversation laughed unkindly.

Even Tang Guan and Zhang Wei were amused.

Liu Sunhao and Xu Mingtao’s faces fell.

"Jin, you have a brilliant brain, if you don’t join our group and stay between these boring people, you will turn old much faster like them." Liu Sunhao tried once more.

Gu Jin was amused by how persistent they were.

"Okay! Okay, shut up for now!" Zhang Wei said in a tired voice.

These bastards are too much. Even when he was injured so much they still couldn’t stop spouting nonsense.

Liu Sunhao snorted and Xu Mingtao made a small ’hmph’ sound and moved her face away.

Zhang Wei shook his head and looked at Gu Jin gratefully,

"Thank you for helping me."

Su Jin(Gu Jin) saved him two times. First when he was about to fall and second when the black-cloaked man was about to attack him again.

At that time his brain wasn’t working at all. Even his team member froze for a minute or two, however, Su Jin(Gu Jin) quickly reacted and saved him.

Gu Jin shook her head and said,

"No need. I did what I should do."

Zhang Wei shook his head,

"No, it wasn’t your responsibility to save me..."

"It was!" Gu Jin emphasized then she explained,

"You helped me earlier, even he..." she pointed at Tang Guan and continued, "...helped me. I repay those who help me. So you don’t need to thank me."

Everyone was stunned.

So he saved Zhang Wei just because he(Zhnag Wei) helped him(Su Jin)? If Zhang Wei hadn’t rescued Su Jin, would Su Jin have ignored Zhang Wei when he was in dire need?

Zhang Wei asked the question that everyone was thinking about,

"Su Jin, if I hadn’t helped you earlier, would you still have saved me?"

Gu Jin looked at Zhang Wei with a serious expression, her eyes reflecting a mixture of determination and sincerity.

"I would have."

Zhang Wei and the rest of the members heaved a sigh of relief.

Even though he(Su Jin) was savage, his nature wasn’t bad.

"But I wouldn’t bother to make his death so painful." Gu Jin continued.

Zhang Wei: "..." So I am the reason why that black-cloaked man died so miserably?

Xu Mingtao: "..." Little brother is too savage!

Yi Ran: "..." So you are saying that you came up with such a sinister plan just to take revenge on that black-cloaked man?

Tang Guan: "..." Thank god I didn’t offend him.

Liu Sunhao: "...."He is much more dangerous than I thought.

Zhang Wei’s feelings were complex. He was grateful, shocked, and a bit apprehensive. But what shocked him was how assured he felt.

Maybe because he knew that people like Gu Jin are very pure and don’t usually betray anyone.

"Leader should go through the spoils of the war?" Tang Guan asked to change the subject.

Zhang Wei stopped his train of thought and nodded,

"Alright let’s go."

Even though Zhang Wei’s hand was attached, they didn’t start to function right away.

So most of the work was done by the rest of the 5 members.

Within 1 hour, the group collected all the dead mutated red-eyed deer.

Liu Sunhao asked casually,

"Leader, why do there are so many mutated beasts here?"

Zhang Wei analyzed as he said,

"Maybe because of the vegetation? "

"Hm. Quite possible." Liu Sunhao agreed.

At the same time, Xu Mingtao who was searching the black-cloaked man’s body shouted,

"Leader look at this!"

She waved a piece of paper to Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei looked at the paper and started reading the content. The more he read the more calm he became.

Towards the end, he even became thrilled.

"What is it, leader?" Liu Sunhao asked curiously when he saw Zhnag Wei smiling.

Zhang Wei showed the paper to him and said,

"This man was not an official member of Ebon Shadows. Do you know what does it mean? It means that we won’t be attacked!"

All the members present heaved a sigh of relief.

Even Gu Jin was happy. One less trouble means more free time!

After tidying up, the group left. No kidding they have little to no mana left. If they keep standing in the middle of the forest, god knows what they will encounter next.

When the group left, the atmosphere suddenly turned dark.

Whoosh.

The air around the dead black-cloaked man’s body speeds up and suddenly a red cloth appears there.

After lying on the dead man’s body the red cloth suddenly flew away. Surprisingly the black-cloaked man’s body disappeared too.

In an unknown mountain area, a man whose body was hardly visible due to the darkness around him caught the red cloth.

He smelled the red cloth and shook his head as he said,

"What a pity. He died. But..."

A smile appeared on his face as he threw the red cloth in the air and the black-cloaked man’s body suddenly came out from the red cloth.

The man caught the body and grinned as he said,

"The good news, is now I don’t have to wait for you to die in any accident for having your taste!"

Saying so the man opened his mouth and used his sharp decaying teeth to bite off the black-cloaked man’s neck.

...

The group returned to the lodge and just when they arrived in the living room, they were stunned by the view in front of them.

The lean man who had died earlier was now sitting on one of the sofa and sipping tea.

"Th-This...didn’t he die?" Xu Mingtao asked in fear.

No one answered her, as they were shocked by the scene.

When the lean man saw them returning he snorted, stood up, and walked in their direction.

Xu Mingtao and Yi Ran almost screamed in fear.

How could they not?

The person whom they killed just a few moments ago was now standing in front of them with a smile.

There could only be an explanation!

He was that person’s ghost!

"You all are back? So how was the adventure? To be honest I am truly surprised! I thought you all would only be returning as dead bodies" The lean man said with a smile.

If Gu Jin said that she wasn’t afraid, it would be a lie.

Her heart was beating fast.

She wasn’t scared when she encountered a dangerous beast. But when it comes to ghosts...

Gu Jin gritted her teeth and wondered whether ghosts could enter her space.

If not then she will hide there. If yes then she will ask the space to control that ghost once he is inside her space.

(Author: Hu! Hu! How funny!)

When she thought like that Gu Jin relaxed a bit.

Finally, Zhang Wei gathered the courage and asked in a trembling voice,

"You...you weren’t you in the forest...."

However, before he could finish his words, the lean man interrupted him and asked,

"What? Are you now sad that I decided not to go to the forest like you? Did any of you die?"

Then he started to count the people and realized that all 6 members were present.

The lean man snorted and shifted his gaze to Zhang Wei,

"Everyone seems to be fine. Looks like you found nothing, however..."

He looked at Zhang Wei from toe to hair and commented,

"Looks like the beast in the forest did teach you a good lesson. Hahaha."

The lean man laughed as if he had passed some hilarious joke.
