Chapter 402: Ordinary People are not Worthy of his Attention
Yu Shijin had always been a cold person. Upon hearing this, he didn’t even pause. After asking Gu Sheng, he walked straight into the village.
Only a tall and straight back view was left.
Murong Bai and Hua Guangxuan exchanged glances and saw a hint of helplessness in each other’s eyes.
However, these two people obviously knew Fu Meng so it was not good to leave at this time. They just waited there.
“Murong, Guangxuan, I didn’t expect you to be here.” Fu Meng looked at the two of them with a warm smile.
“You guys went out so early?” Murong Bai raised his hand towards her. His heart sank when he saw the villagers who looked up to Fu Meng.
Fu Meng covered her mouth and smiled. “I realized that there are many herbs in the mountains, and they are very suitable for making potions. Thus, I brought the villagers to pick herbs before the sun comes out and also make potions.”
Even Hua Guangxuan felt threatened.
“That person should be the owner of the purple-tint gold badge, right?” Fu Meng looked towards the village entrance and smiled.
Hua Guangxuan nodded. “Chief Gu has already sent the situation overseas. The three of us have accepted a mission.”
Fu Meng didn’t say anything and just nodded at Hua Guangxuan and the rest. “The three of you have to be careful. The people in this village … are not very friendly. Even the Purple-Gold Badge owner might not give them face. If you need any accommodation, you can look for me directly.”
With that, she led the group of people from the village through the main door.
A black lad beside Fu Meng glared at Hua Guangxuan and Murong Bai.
After the group left, Hua Guangxuan and Murong Bai had yet to leave. The two of them looked at each other and saw the seriousness in each other’s eyes.
“This is troublesome,” Hua Guangxuan whispered.
Murong Bai didn’t object and nodded.
Unexpectedly, Fu Meng was also here. They also didn’t expect Fu Meng to win over people’s hearts so quickly. However, it made sense. A potion maker—not to mention this place, even if she was overseas; everyone wanted to ask her about her.
“Damn, if I had known earlier, I would have taken the potion maker test!” Hua Guangxuan said angrily.
However, he knew how difficult it was to become a potion maker.
“Forget it, let’s go in first.” Murong Bai, Hua Guangxuan, and Village Chief Gu walked towards the village.
As expected, everyone in the village looked at Hua Guangxuan and Murong Bai with unfriendly gazes…
Even if they were led by the chief.
Yu Shijin had already sent them the address.
Chief Gu looked at the address sent by Yu Shijin and couldn’t help but pause. “Strange…”
“What’s strange?” Murong Bai looked at him. “Is there anything wrong with this address?”
“It’s indeed not right.” Chief Gu glanced at Murong Bai. “Mr. Murong, you don’t know this, but Gu Sheng is a genius of my family. He will succeed the next chief. Everyone in our family is very xenophobic. Ordinary outsiders are not allowed in. Even visitors live outside the village.”
Murong Bai knew this because they had seen a few wooden houses outside the village.
“But Gu Sheng actually arranged for your four friends to stay in … the main family of the Direct Line.” The Gu Family Head’s expression was still very strange.
Not only was Chief Gu surprised, but even Murong Bai and Hua Guangxuan could not believe it.
Su Huiqing and the rest were just ordinary people. How did they end up in the main family?
Even Fu Meng only lived in the residence of an elder, right?
“Perhaps he is afraid of Old Yu,” Hua Guangxuan said.
This was the only reasonable explanation.
The chief and Murong Bai could only think this way.
When they arrived at the chief’s house, Gu Sheng and Yu Shijin were both there; however, they didn’t see Su Huiqing and the rest.
Hua Guangxuan could not help but ask.
Gu Sheng immediately bent down and answered, “Miss Su said she wanted to take a look at the surroundings so Gu Shan brought Miss Su and the rest to the village to take a look.”
Gu Sheng’s words ‘Miss Su’ came from the bottom of his heart, especially the respectful expression on his face.
Not to mention Hua Guangxuan, even the chief rubbed his eyes in shock.
Didn’t Gu Sheng look at Su Huiqing and the rest with disdain last night? Why was he respectfully calling one of them ‘Miss Su’ today? Was he being disrespectful?
On the other hand, Yu Shijin’s face remained impassive. There was nothing strange about it.
He turned to look at the chief. “Tell me everything that happened in the village.”
At the mention of serious matters, the chief didn’t think too much about Gu Sheng and immediately invited Yu Shijin into the inner room.
Hua Guangxuan stood rooted to the ground. The more he thought about it, the more incredulous he felt. He looked at Gu Sheng. “Bring me to Qingqing and the rest.”
Gu Sheng wanted to tell the head of the family, but seeing that the head of the family had gone in, he temporarily gave up on this idea. Instead, he brought Hua Guangxuan and the rest to look for Su Huiqing. However, along the way, he kept silent about Hua Guangxuan asking about last night.
…
Meanwhile, Su Huiqing and the rest had already reached a small lake.
She stood by the lake and looked at the water, deep in thought.
Gu Shan stood beside her nervously, not daring to disturb her…
Until a black lad came to chase Su Huiqing and the rest away. “Miss Fu Meng wants to refine potions here. You unrelated people, leave quickly!”
His gaze landed on Gu Shan, completely ignoring Su Huiqing and the rest.
Because in his eyes, Su Huiqing and the rest were not worth his attention.
