Lifting the bamboo pole with force, Yang Yu brought the hot spring eggs and the black ball in the river ashore.
Hei Tuan was a girl in a black robe. She was shorter than Bai Jin. Her bulging hood covered half of her face, leaving only a small cherry mouth. She was holding a blue knife in her arms.
When Yang Yu saw the girl, he immediately became alert.

[Charm Girl] This special item will increase the strength of the Charm skill.
A swordsman, but possesses such a strong [Charming Girl].
Also, just as I put the pole down, the girl went down the river and grabbed the rope. It was too much of a coincidence.
This made Yang Yu wonder if this girl was a succubus sent by someone to monitor them. She wanted to pretend to be rescued in order to get close to them and test their strength.
But Yang Yu quickly dismissed this idea.
If you want to pretend to be in trouble and get close to them, there is no need to lower your health and mana to such a low level.
"Does this girl smell the same as the one you tracked?"
Yang Yu confirmed with Lotkar in a low voice, and Lotkar nodded slightly.
Qiuye Dolan stood by the hot spring river, wringing out his wet clothes.
Yang Yu hesitated whether to go forward and ask a few words of concern, Bai Jin took out the girl's clothes from her storage magic and walked over with small steps:
"Well, you'll catch a cold if you keep going like this. These are my clothes, if you don't mind."
Before Bai Jin finished her words, Qiuye Dolan had wrung out the last part she wanted to wring out. Then, a gust of wind came from nowhere, blowing up Qiuye Dolan's robe, lingering around her and drying up the water stains on her body.
After peeling a hot spring egg, Yang Yu deliberately raised his voice:
"Being knocked into the river seems like something you're used to, little girl.
Are you also targeting those mud monsters that gather near the hot springs
Being alone is dangerous.
Eat an egg to calm your nerves, and then get out of here quickly."
Yang Yu threw an egg at Qiuye Dolane, who instinctively drew out a knife and cut the egg in half, with dissatisfaction on his face:
"I'm not a little girl anymore. I'm an adult and have been an adult for many years. Why do this person and that person always treat me like a child?"
Yang Yu apologized very straightforwardly: "I'm sorry. After all, I can't tell your actual age just from your appearance. It's my fault. May I know what is this lady's name?"
Qiuye Dolan thought for a while, then straightened her chest and answered, "My name is Shenqiu, you can just call me Miss Shenqiu."
"Ms. Shenqiu."
As soon as he blurted out these four words, Yang Yu saw Qiu Ye Dolan's mouth corners couldn't help but rise slightly.
If what she said was true, that she was already an adult but had always been treated like a child, Yang Yu could probably guess why Qiu Ye Dolan appeared here.
Qiuye Dolan has been extremely talented since childhood and must have received much attention from his family.
The geniuses who attract much attention are either strictly trained or spoiled since childhood.
Judging from Qiuye Dolane's performance, she is probably a genius who is loved by everyone and whose family wants to teach her all the best things.
With the awakening of her personal consciousness, Qiuye Dolaine finally couldn't stand being spoiled, so she slipped out quietly.
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, a new task popped up on Yang Yu's panel.
[Task: [The first heir who ran away from home]
By chance, you met Qiuye Dolane, the first heir of Duan Fengliu, who hid his identity and ran away from home.
Now the Duanfeng School controlled by the Dolan family is like an ant on hot pot, running around in a panic and mobilizing a large number of people to search for Qiuye Dolan's whereabouts.
They are willing to offer a large reward if anyone can provide relevant clues or even send their heirs back.
Mission requirements: Use any means to send Qiuye Dolaine back to her family.
Rewards: Experience +100, Dolan Family Favorability +0-50, some special rewards that can be negotiated, number of draws +5, Qiuye. Dolan Favorability -100~0]
Although Yang Yu didn't think that the Dolan family would treat him unfairly, and he could even learn some practical skills from [Duan Fengliu], this could not change the fact that this was a rather troublesome task.
"Ms. Shenqiu, let me be frank, it is very dangerous for a girl to be alone in the forest.
If your family knew that you came here alone and fought such a dangerous monster, they would definitely be worried. "
"Family." Qiuye Dolan muttered to himself, and then snorted coldly, "They don't know what family is. They treat me well only because I have good talent. It's all their fault."
If Yang Yu guessed correctly, Qiuye Dolan in front of him and Aslite Dolan, whom he had fought on the battlefield, were sisters.
In family education, if one party is given special attention, the other party will inevitably be neglected.
To put it bluntly, the reason why Aslite became so paranoid was due to internal reasons within their family. Qiuye Dolane came here alone because she realized the family's overly distorted love for her.
How should I put it? It's both admirable and pathetic.
Realizing this, Yang Yu couldn't make up his mind to tie Qiu Ye Dolan up and throw him into the car to take him to the Dolan family.
Yang Yu scratched his head and said, “It seems that you have a conflict with your family.
I don't understand the situation, and I wouldn't say anything stupid like they're all doing this for your own good.
If you get a chance, sit down and talk to them.”
Qiuye Dolan clenched the knife in his hand and said, "Of course I know.
I also know that my current strength is far from enough. Only when I gain equal strength with them will I be qualified to sit down and talk with them.
So, I am here now.
But"
As he spoke, Qiuye Dolane looked away and his voice became quieter.
“I thought after these days of training, I had found a way to deal with the mud monster, but a Cheng Yaojin showed up halfway.
I didn't attack him, but he did.
He was obviously a human, so why would he stand on the side of the monsters? He attacked without any reason, shouting "You look strong, fight me!"
I was quite confident in my swordsmanship, but in the end I was no match for his fists and was knocked into the river by him.
If it weren't for him, I would have dealt with that mud monster long ago.
I can continue my journey.”
