Chapter 1013: Chapter 1011: We Want to Cause Trouble Too
Leaving behind Yang Yibin, whose face was full of resentment, Wufu returned to Ah Jiuâs side, sat down, took a wild apple handed over by him, took a crisp bite, and smiled with narrowed eyes.
"Be careful not to overplay it, lest someone leads you into a trap," Ah Jiu said in a low voice with a hint of meaning.
Wufu chuckled, saying, "Donât worry. If it really is him, no matter what, he wonât make a move here."
Ah Jiu snorted softly.
"Besides, he also wants to get out. He just happened upon this team of unfamiliar faces who donât know him. With this kind of cover, maybe thereâs a chance!" Wufu smiled and shook the apple in his hand at Yang Yibin, who was watching from afar, and said, "Even I wouldnât make a move now. Could a few of us not be able to handle him alone? If he really had that kind of skill, he would have left long ago."
Seeing Wufuâs playful demeanor, Yang Yibin turned his face away uncomfortably.
A hint of coldness flashed through Ah Jiuâs eyes.
Whether or not he was that person, Ah Jiu simply couldnât like him. No reason, just a feeling.
After resting, the group continued onward. It was almost dusk, the light in the forest was soft, and golden rays slanted down from the treetops, casting paths of golden light on the ground, making it appear exceedingly mysterious.
Xiao Qi pulled Wufu along quickly, speaking in short words and gestures at the same time.
Wufu raised an eyebrow, "Oh, Xiao Qi means that heâs a bad guy?"
Xiao Qi nodded, his eyes unfriendly, wishing to look back.
Wufu pressed down on his head to prevent him from turning back and whispered, "Thanks for the warning, Xiao Qi. Sister already knows. Donât worry. There are many of us; he wonât dare do anything to us. Besides, weâre also up to no good!"
Xiao Qi blinked.
Wufu whispered something in his ear, and he nodded with an "um".
Yang Yibin was neither too far nor too close, trailing behind Wufu and the others, with a hint of puzzlement in his eyes, while also somewhat relieved.
These people indeed looked unlike Jianghu People; they seemed more like scions of noble families out on a journey, especially that Ah Jiu. That entire aura of his wasnât typical of Jianghu People. It was somewhat noble and elegant, demanding attention.
And such an aura, he had merely... seen it before.
Yang Yibin was momentarily dazed, recalling experiences from recent days, his eyes filled with resentment, with a touch of vengefulness and coldness flashing in the depths of his gaze.
Once he gets out, he will return all this humiliation, someday!
"Be careful." Chi Liu stretched out a hand to stop Yang Yibin, who almost walked into something.
Yang Yibin looked up, utterly startled at him.
"Daydreaming in a place like this? I really donât know how you managed to survive till here!" Chi Liu calmly flicked away a colorful snake.
Yang Yibinâs face changed several times and gratefully clasped his hands, saying, "Thank you, brother." He truly was careless.
Chi Liu gave him a sidelong glance but said no more. He was good at observation and had long noticed Wufuâs small actions. Though not knowing why, he harbored a slight wariness toward this so-called "survivor."
Miss Xin, isnât that right!
"Weâve arrived."
Emerging from the forest, everyone saw half a tower peak emerging from the treetops on the opposite woods. At the top of the tower, a large golden plaque gleamed in the sunlight, inscribed with the words Cloud Tower.
And before them was a clear creek river. On the opposite side was a riotous profusion of flowers blooming in full splendor. The flower petals appeared as if coated in a layer of gold under the orange sunlit glow, swaying in the wind, making it hard to look away, and even the air was faintly sweet, making one drowsy.
