Chapter 682 - 277: Former Villagers with Malicious Intentions_3

In short, Li Guoxiang couldn’t get more attention from his parents, so he rebelled from a young age, hoping to attract their attention this way.

However, as time went by, it only made him a person disliked by everyone in the village.

His older brother, on the other hand, was excellent in every way, good at studying, and married a local girl from the city center.

And him? At his age, he still didn’t have a partner.

The local girls didn’t like him, and he didn’t want to find someone from outside.

As time passed, he became a middle-aged bachelor. What he hated most was being compared to his brother.

Old Yang’s words instantly stung him.

He walked ahead, his eyes showing a cold murderous intent.

He held back his patience. Now wasn’t the time to act. They didn’t know what superpowers these three had, and if they started a fight, there was no guarantee they would win.

He said lightly, "Uncle Lin, I’m just concerned about you. You know, things are different now. The shelter’s resources are limited and we need to prioritize superpower users."

"If you have any superpowers, you need to let us know in advance so we can report it and arrange work for you."

Old Yang responded, "No need. Yang Mei and Mr. Liang don’t live here. Once they find Xiaoyang Mei’s parents, they plan to return to Yangshan."

Li Guoxiang was surprised, his eyes flickered as he asked, "Go back? Why go back? Is there a shelter at Yangshan?"

"Yangshan is higher than Tree Mountain, how could there not be a shelter?"

"Is that so? Uncle Lin, tell me about the Yangshan Shelter." Li Guoxiang smiled sweetly.

Li Damin and Yang Yi turned to listen.

Old Yang was about to speak when Liang Yuan suddenly asked, "Do you only have one shelter at Yunquan Temple? Has everyone from Meishan Village moved up there?"

As soon as he spoke, Old Yang also quickly looked at Li Guoxiang. This was something he was concerned about.

Li Guoxiang furrowed his brows and said without turning his head, "Yes, everyone has moved up. Fortunately, they moved early. Otherwise, it would have been a big problem with the ongoing floods. If they were late, they wouldn’t have made it to the mountain."

"Who are the people at Yangshan? Are they from Yangshan District?" He then diverted the conversation back to Yangshan.

Old Yang was about to speak again when Liang Yuan interrupted him again.

Liang Yuan asked, "Who’s in charge at Yunquan Temple now? Do you have enough food and supplies?"

Li Guoxiang’s eyes turned cold as he glanced at Liang Yuan.

He felt the kid was doing it on purpose.

Liang Yuan smiled back, and Li Guoxiang secretly laughed coldly to himself, thinking, "Just wait until we get to the temple, there’ll be a show for you."

He said lightly, "The village chief is in charge, along with the village committee members."

Old Yang couldn’t help but shake his head, "Those guys? They can’t handle things. They’re only good at flattering others."

Li Guoxiang chuckled and said meaningfully, "Uncle Lin, who do you think should be in charge then?"

Old Yang instinctively replied, "In times like these, it should be someone capable."

Li Guoxiang laughed heartily and said no more, burying his head and continuing to walk.

Li Damin, the short and fat man, deliberately fell a few steps behind, his beady eyes constantly sizing up Yang Mei’s shapely hips and slender waist. He subconsciously licked his lips, a lewd look flashing in his eyes.

Yang Mei, with her not-so-weak spiritual power, naturally sensed such a gaze.

She couldn’t help but turn around and frown at Li Damin.

Li Damin grinned at her and said, "What’s wrong, Yang Mei?"

Yang Mei said coldly, "You walk in front."

Li Damin was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, "I’m fat. I can’t walk as fast as you. You go ahead."

Yang Mei frowned, not knowing how to reprimand him.

Liang Yuan turned around and looked at Li Damin coldly, "Let’s take a rest here. No need to rush to Yunquan Temple."

Li Guoxiang turned around and immediately scolded Li Damin, "You walk in front."

He didn’t want to delay, afraid the three would grow suspicious. All he wanted was to get them to Yunquan Temple as soon as possible.

Li Damin pouted, reluctantly taking his eyes off Yang Mei’s ample bosom and moving to the front.

Li Guoxiang gave him a warning look, and Li Damin calmed down a bit.

Then Li Guoxiang moved to the back and said with a grin, "That bastard lacks discipline. Yang Mei, don’t get mad."

Yang Mei didn’t reply but asked, "How are my parents?"

Li Guoxiang immediately said, "They’re good. They’re important people at our shelter now."

Yang Mei was surprised and asked, "What? Did they awaken superpowers?"

Li Guoxiang nodded and smiled, "Yes, Uncle Youwei awakened a strength superpower. He’s very powerful."

Yang Mei was overjoyed and looked at Liang Yuan, "Little brother, I didn’t expect my dad to awaken superpowers."

Liang Yuan smiled, but his eyes didn’t show happiness. He didn’t trust a word these people said.

The specific situation had to be seen at Yunquan Temple.

After walking a bit further, a few more people emerged from the woods.

"Stop!"

"Hey, Damin? Why are you back?"

"Hey, the numbers are off. Who are they? Uncle Lin?"

"Yang Mei!"

The people who popped out of the woods exclaimed when they saw Old Yang and Yang Mei.

Without exception, these people were all strong and muscular.

There was also a woman among them who stood out slightly.

This woman was the first person to notice Yang Mei and immediately called her name.

She looked surprised, full of astonishment.

When Yang Mei saw the woman, she too showed a look of delight, "Er Ya!"

Yang Er Ya’s real name was Yang Zhen, but people in the village called her Er Ya.

She had a birthmark on the right side of her face, causing her to be quite self-conscious.

Yang Mei was one of the few playmates she had in the village.

She didn’t expect to see Yang Mei here.

Her expression changed, and then she suddenly smiled, "Yang Mei, didn’t you move into your new home? What are you doing here? Where’s your husband?"

As she spoke, she looked at Liang Yuan and raised her eyebrows; this guy wasn’t Li Zhiqiang.

Yang Mei’s excitement paused, and she didn’t respond but asked, "Er Ya, have you seen my parents?"

Yang Er Ya’s eyes flickered for a moment, and Li Guoxiang immediately said, "Er Ya, is Uncle Youwei not on duty today? He should be at the temple, right?"

Yang Er Ya came to her senses and smiled, "Yes, Yang Mei, Uncle Youwei is always talking about you. He will be thrilled to see you."

Yang Mei’s eyes reddened, and she quickly said, "Can you take me to see my parents? I... I miss them too."

Yang Er Ya looked at Li Guoxiang, who smiled and said, "Er Ya has patrol duty today. Yang Mei, I’ll take you."

Yang Mei looked at Yang Er Ya, who hesitated and then smiled, "Yang Mei, go with Brother Guoxiang. I have things to do."

Yang Mei had no choice but to nod, "Alright, I’ll find you after I see my parents."

"Okay," Yang Er Ya smiled and nodded.

Liang Yuan didn’t say a word throughout, watching this lousy acting with interest.

He wanted to see what tricks these people had up their sleeves.
