The old lady was startled and shook her head: "My name is not right, my words are unjust and I cannot convince the public, so the Alchemy King Valley will be scattered."
Chu Tianshu had a headache, thought for a while and asked: "Then I will be the nominal owner of the valley, and you will be responsible for the specific management, right?
There is no way I can stay in this snowy mountain."
The old lady nodded: "That's okay."
Chu Tianshu smiled brightly: "Then let's make an agreement."
As long as he is not tied up in the Alchemy King Valley, it will be fine.
Seeing that the conversation was almost over, Kuang Meier broke off a piece of roasted sweet potato and put it to Chu Tianshu's mouth.
Chu Tianshu opened his mouth and swallowed, and said to the old lady: "You have a rest. Let's go meet my father at dawn."
The old lady said: "I won't go with you, so I can take care of you if I am in the dark."
Chu Tianshu nodded and said, "That's fine."
Chu Tianshu looked at the time and saw that it was already past two o'clock in the morning. The important matters had been discussed and the three of them rested around the fire.
Chu Tianshu and Old Taijun were both sitting cross-legged and meditating.
Kuang Meier snuggled up to Chu Tianshu without hesitation. Although the cold wind was howling outside, she felt indescribably warm and at ease in her heart.
…
At this time, the camp by the river was still bustling with people. Chu Xidao and others and the people from Danwang Valley had just returned from the search and rescue.
Beside a bonfire, Chu Xidao said with a solemn face: "Everyone, get ready, and then continue searching."
The leader of Danwang Valley is a middle-aged man about forty years old. He is the direct disciple of the owner of the valley, Zheng Yuqing, named Zhang Ji.
Zhang Ji's brows were furrowed and his face was filled with sadness.
He is responsible for welcoming guests. Now the life and death of the two guests are unknown, which will definitely affect the reputation of Danwang Valley. The owner of the valley will not let him off easily.
Zhang Ji said in a deep voice: "I also want to find Mr. Chu and Miss Kuang, but the terrain here is steep and it is not wise to go out hastily. I suggest we look for them again at dawn tomorrow."
"Tomorrow dawn?"
Ren Changfeng said angrily: "You have to race against time to save people, don't you understand?
If they encounter any critical situation, can they wait until dawn tomorrow?"
"sorry."
Zhang Ji leaned forward and said, "I can't put other people into danger anymore."
Huangfu Zhaonan, who had a stern expression on the side, said, "Okay, don't talk nonsense to them, let's look for it ourselves."
Ren Changfeng snorted coldly, turned around and left.
Zhang Ji chased after him: "Guys, it's too dangerous to go out rashly now. You are not familiar with the road..."
Chu Xidao ignored him and left the camp directly with Huangfu Zhaonan, Ren Changfeng and Ye Shaoliu.
Zhang Ji stamped his feet angrily and followed him.
Not far away, Wu Junwen watched this scene with a smile on his face that he couldn't hide.
Noticing Wu Junwen's expression, Wu Meisheng, who was sitting next to the bonfire drinking, said in a deep voice: "Junwen, what did you go out to do in the evening?"
"ah?"
Wu Junwen was startled and said hurriedly: "I went hunting."
As he said this, he pointed to the hare that was placed on the fire and was roasting until it was sizzling with oil. He smiled and said, "I hunted this rabbit."
A meaningful look flashed in Wu Meisheng's eyes: "Didn't you do something else by the way?"
"No...no..."
Wu Junwen lowered his head with some guilt.
Wu Meisheng smiled coldly, tore off a hare leg and ate it without saying anything else.
Wu Junwen felt a chill on his back, and cold sweat had soaked through his clothes.
…
As soon as it dawned in the morning, Chu Tianshu and the others left the wooden house.
The old lady pointed out the direction to Chu Tianshu, quietly told Chu Tianshu the whereabouts of the Qiankun Ruler, and then separated from Chu Tianshu.
There was fifty centimeters of snow on the ground. Even with Chu Tianshu's height, it didn't even reach his knees. Let alone Kuang Meier, she couldn't move her legs in the snow. Chu Tianshu carried her on his back again.
.
After walking in the direction pointed by the old lady for about half an hour, I saw a group of people walking towards this direction from a distance. It was Chu Xidao and his friends.
Seeing Chu Tianshu and Kuang Meier, Chu Xidao and others were overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.
When they came in front of Chu Tianshu, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Ren Changfeng asked excitedly: "Where have you been?
We've been looking for you all night."
Chu Xidao said with concern: "Did you encounter any trouble?"
Chu Tianshu said: "We were attacked and fell off the cliff. Fortunately, there was a pool below, otherwise we would definitely have died."
When they heard this, everyone was shocked.
A flash of murderous intent flashed in Chu Xidao's eyes: "Who did this?"
Chu Tianshu sneered: "You can't run away from him!"
Zhang Ji on the side couldn't help but ask: "Did you see the person who did it?"
The guest was attacked and almost died, and he couldn't escape his involvement.
Chu Tianshu said calmly: "Of course I saw it."
Kuang Meier glanced at Chu Tianshu suspiciously, but did not interrupt.
Zhang Jixian asked quickly: "Who is he?"
Chu Tianshu's tone was cold: "You will know in a moment."
Feeling the murderous aura in Chu Tianshu's words, Zhang Ji's heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly said: "Tell me who it is, and Danwang Valley will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."
A cold smile appeared at the corner of Chu Tianshu's mouth: "I have always been used to giving myself the explanation."
Zhang Ji wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Don't be impulsive, otherwise our Valley Master will be unhappy."
Chu Tianshu asked back: "Am I happy if someone plots against me?"
Zhang Ji was speechless by Mr. Zhuo and turned to look at Kuang Meier: "Miss Kuang, Danwang Valley will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."
Kuang Meier looked at Chu Tianshu and said in a quiet tone: "I will leave this matter to him. If you have any questions, please communicate with him."
Zhang Ji's mouth twitched fiercely, and he cursed in his heart, if I can communicate with him, why should I tell you?
But naturally he couldn't say these words.
When they returned to the camp, the others had already left, and only one disciple from Alchemy King Valley was waiting.
Zhang Ji said: "If we set off now, we can still catch up with them."
Chu Tianshu said coldly: "It's not like you can't find the way, why are you chasing them?"
After hearing what Old Taijun said last night, he now has no good impressions of the people in Danwang Valley, not to mention that the Zhang Ji in front of him is a direct disciple of Old Taijun's nemesis Zheng Yuqing.
Chu Tianshu looked at Ren Changfeng: "Let's get something to eat first."
He had only eaten two bites of roasted sweet potatoes from noon yesterday, and he was really hungry.
Ren Changfeng agreed and went to prepare with Ye Shaoliu.
Zhang Ji looked at Chu Tianshu, a meaningful look flashed in his eyes.
Now, even a fool can see that these people all follow Chu Tianshu.
Zhang Ji couldn't figure out why even Kuang Mei'er obeyed Chu Tianshu's words?
Could it be that Chu Tianshu has some other background that he doesn't know about?
