There were five people sitting in the guest room. Other than Ji Rumei, there were three men and one woman.
One of them was a bearded man at the twelfth level of the Refinement Stage, while the other three were at the tenth level.
As soon as Fang Yu walked in, the four of them focused their gazes on him.
The man at the 12th level of the Refinement Stage was the first to retract his gaze, his eyes filled with contempt.
The other three looked at Fang Yu with disdain.
"Miss Ji, is this young man the Mr. Fang who made us wait for more than half an hour? When I heard you mention him, I thought he was very powerful. In the end, he's just a Xiantian Realm Level Five brat.”The woman glanced at Fang Yu with disdain and said impatiently.
As the eldest daughter of the Zhong family, it was always others waiting for her, and she rarely waited for others!
Therefore, she felt very unhappy!
Ji Rumei was about to speak when the man with the highest cultivation said,""His cultivation level is too low. If he follows us, he will only drag us down.”
From the expressions and words of the four martial artists, it was obvious that they were extremely disdainful of Fang Yu.
Ji Rumei looked at Fang Yu worriedly.
However, Fang Yu remained calm and did not seem angry at all.
" Let me introduce you first. This is…" Ji Rumei wanted to break the awkward situation and began to introduce Fang Yu.
The man with a beard and fierce eyes was Tu Feng, a famous bounty fighter in Jianghai City.
The so-called bounty hitman was someone who would do things for others if they gave him money.
Generally speaking, they would do things like fighting and killing.
With his Half-Zongshi strength, Tu Feng could be said to be a tyrant in Jianghai City. He solved the problems of one financial backer after another and was famous.
That woman was called Zhongli Yu, the eldest daughter of the Zhong family, a famous martial arts family in Jiangnan.
The other two men were both subordinates brought by Zhongli Yu. One was called Zhou Bei, and the other was called Zhu Lingjia.
Tu Feng was hired by Zhongli Yuhua to escort him. Their goal was to enter the primeval forest and search for rare medicinal herbs or treasures.
Zhong Liyu treated this operation as a training. This was the Zhong family's tradition. Every adult descendant of the clan needed to undergo an experiential learning.
After Ji Rumei finished her introduction, Fang Yu did not say anything and sat on the sofa.
Zhong Liyu looked at Fang Yu with disgust.
This kid wanted to join her team?
Wasn't he just trying to get a free share?
" Miss Ji, I respect you very much, but…I really can't let this Mr. Fang join the team. This is also for his own good. No one knows how dangerous that forest is. If something happens…" Zhong Liyu shook his head and did not continue.
"Miss, why are you saying so much? He could have just rejected her directly! This kid is so weak, what use is there for him? What if he peed in his pants when he encountered danger?”Zhu Lingjia laughed mockingly.
Ji Rumei's expression became increasingly unsightly. She had never said that she wanted Fang Yu to join their team. She only said that she wanted Fang Yu to interact with them.
However, this group of people had their first impressions right from the start. It was as if Fang Yu was begging to join their team. They were really too arrogant.
Ji Rumei was about to speak when Fang Yu said,"I don't think I said I wanted to join you.”
"Then what are you doing here?" Zhongli Yu frowned.
"I just want to know if you have any information about that forest.”Fang Yu asked.
"I won't tell you even if I do." Zhong Liyu sneered. I spent a lot of money for this information. Why should you get it for free?”
"Besides, you can't go. What's the use of asking?”
"Who said I can't go?" Fang Yu asked.
"You mean, you want to go in alone? With your Xiantian Realm Level Five strength?" Zhongli Yu covered his mouth and giggled.
After laughing for a while, she looked at Ji Rumei and said," Miss Ji, this child must be a distant relative of yours, right? Hurry up and take care of him, or he will die.”
With that, Zhongli Yu stood up.
"Miss Ji, we're leaving for Sanhua City tonight. I thought you specially asked us to come over and made us wait for so long to introduce a powerful martial artist to us, but I didn't expect…Forget it, let's leave it at that. Come to my house to play when you have time.”
Zhong Liyu glanced at Ji Rumei indifferently, and the group left.
Ji Rumei's expression was very ugly, and her beautiful eyes were filled with anger.
She had thought that Zhong Liyu would at least maintain a peaceful attitude on account of the Ji Family.
However, she did not expect that Zhongli Yu did not seem to care about the Ji Family at all.
People from martial arts aristocratic families were really too arrogant.
Ji Rumei said apologetically to Fang Yu,""Mr. Fang, I'm sorry..."
"No worries." Fang Yu waved his hand. He did not expect to obtain any useful information.
What exactly was in that primeval forest? He would know once he went in.
……
Sanhua City was not far from Jianghai City. It only took two hours to get there by train.
Fang Yu set off at 6 am the next day and arrived at Sanhua City at 8 am.
Fang Yu hailed a taxi and said to the driver,""I want to go to the primeval forest north of Sanhua City.”
"What forest…Oh, you mean that Ghost Forest!？”The driver widened his eyes and asked in surprise.
"Ghost Woods?" Fang Yu's eyes flickered.
"It's the Ghost Forest! It was said that there were countless strange sounds every day, and many people never came out after entering!？Now, that place is sealed off! If you want to go there, find someone else. Anyway, I'm not sending you off. It's very strange!”After the driver finished speaking, he stepped on the accelerator and left.
After that, Fang Yu hailed a few more taxis, but still, no one was willing to take the job.
It seemed that almost all the locals in Sanhua City had heard about what happened in that forest.
After being rejected one after another, Fang Yu gave up on the idea of taking a taxi and wanted to walk.
However, when he turned around, an old man with few hairs walked up to him.
This old man was very old. His hair and beard were all white, and he was as thin as a stick. However, his face was a little dark.
However, Fang Yu knew that this old man was a cultivator at the 10th level of the Refinement Stage. He was not weak.
"Kid, if you want to go to that Ghost Forest, those drivers won't dare to take your business.”The old man smiled kindly.
"Can you send me there?" Fang Yu asked.
"Yes, I'm already in my forties. I've long since stopped believing in evil. However, if you want me to send you there, you'll have to pay a little more.”The old man nodded and said.
"How much do you want?" Fang Yu asked.
The old man raised two fingers.
Two hundred yuan? It wasn't too expensive.
Fang Yu accepted the old man's offer.
The old man's car was a diesel tricycle, and it was quite fast.
After Fang Yu got into the car, the old man sat in the driver's seat and stepped on the accelerator.
No one noticed that the old man's murky eyes flashed with a trace of viciousness.
It was about 20 kilometers from the train station in Sanhua City to the primeval forest.
With the speed of this diesel tricycle, it would take about half an hour.
Therefore, after getting into the car, Fang Yu closed his eyes to rest.
About twenty minutes later, Fang Yu felt a jolt and opened his eyes.
At this moment, he had already arrived at a desolate area. There was not even a single person in the vicinity.
"How much longer until we arrive?" Fang Yu asked.
The old man did not answer.
Fang Yu frowned slightly and took out his mobile phone to take a look at the map. He realized that he had already deviated from the route very far away.
There was something wrong with this old man.
However, since he had already taken a long detour, Fang Yu was not in a hurry. He wanted to see what the old man wanted to do.
After walking for about five minutes, the old man stopped the car.
In front of him was a cave. It seemed to be very deep inside, and it was pitch-black.
The old man turned his head and looked at Fang Yu. He smiled sinisterly, revealing a mouthful of black teeth.
Fang Yu then realized that the old man's face was filled with evil. He was obviously not a good person.
The kindness from before was obviously a disguise.
If Fang Yu had paid more attention, he would have noticed it earlier.
But no matter what, he was still deceived.
"Robbery of money or sex? I guess you're robbing me, but you're looking for the wrong person. I only have 500 yuan on me. You won't earn much even if you take all of it.”Fang Yu said calmly.
The old man looked at Fang Yu and grinned.
Fang Yu frowned when he saw the smile.
This old man couldn't really want to rob her, right?
"You're all wrong. I'm robbing…your life.”The old man said in a hoarse and gloomy tone.
