"Hush, keep your voice down, they might be... running into the woods..."
"… "
Bai Ye vaguely heard the sound coming from outside the woods.
“Bai Ye…” But Gu Changhe didn’t hear it. He opened his mouth and wanted to ask Bai Ye what his next plan was, whether to go after that person for the spiritual herb, but Bai Ye immediately made a gesture to keep quiet.
When Gu Changhe saw her gesture, he immediately shut up.
After a while, Gu Changhe could also hear some tiny sounds coming towards them.
"Looking at the traces, they must have gone into the forest. Let's follow them. If we can find a chance to kill that damn girl, we will surely please Fourth Miss Qing, and we will surely get more rewards then."
"Yes, yes, yes. My brothers and I think so too. But if we kill him... wouldn't it be bad? After all, it is said that he is a talent that the Ninth Prince values."
"Hahaha... You don't understand this. If we can really get close to Fourth Miss Qing, why would we be afraid of the Ninth Prince revealing a piece of inside information..." The person who responded suddenly lowered his voice a lot.
"It really is the prince's..."
"Shh! Keep your voice down! This matter has not been made public yet. I also heard about it through the grapevine. Be careful not to let it get out and get killed."
"Oh, thank you for your advice, big brother..."
At first, these people were not too concerned about the possibility that Bai Ye and the others would hear their discussions. It was as if they had already regarded Bai Ye as a bird in a cage, unable to fly away, so it didn't matter if he was heard.
They do have the confidence to do so, because—
"Bai Ye, there are more than thirty people, four of them are actually Xuanists! Let's run away!" Gu Changhe himself is a first-class Xuanist, so he can roughly sense that the other side has four people with very long auras and their combat effectiveness must be good.
Coupled with the wild aura emanating from these people, Gu Changhe roughly guessed that the identities of these people were probably...
"They are probably the children of several gangs in Qingyun Province. They are all around 24 or 25 years old. Most of them have used Shengxuan Dan to forcibly improve their cultivation to the Xuanshi realm, just to get some supplies from the selection field to bring back to the gang."
Seeing that Bai Ye was unmoved, Gu Changhe immediately introduced the origins of this gang. In his opinion, even if Bai Ye had supernatural powers, the people who came were all heinous gang members and were really difficult to deal with!
"They are getting closer, don't make any noise." Bai Ye remained unmoved, but reminded Gu Changhe not to speak so as not to delay her work.
Gu Changhe: “…” He had to look at Bai Ye quietly, but he didn’t understand, when the situation was so bad, why did Bai Ye’s eyes light up so brightly… um, like gold coins? !
"Don't hide, come out." At this time, a deep baritone voice was heard from the other group of people.
At this moment, Gu Changhe felt as if he was being watched from a distance! Even Bai Ye knew that she had been discovered, so she had to come out of hiding with Gu Changhe.
“Hahaha… Chasing the mole, you’re still as awesome as ever! You discovered it before I even noticed it.” A short and fat man who was obviously the leader laughed happily when he saw Bai Ye and Gu Changhe.
"Squeak..."
Bai Ye's gaze fell on an old man among the people who came. On the old man's shoulder, there was a fat gray rat, with its fangs and claws bared, squeaking at Bai Ye!
“Bang…” Bai Ye’s eyelids twitched and his heart started beating wildly.
