Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 508 You! You! You dare hit me!

"Let's go," Mu Yun Chu said, pulling her small hand.

Gu Qingyue nodded, and the group slowly walked towards the north gate of the villa.

They're not in a hurry; if all else fails, they'll rob them! That's something Gu Qingyue excels at.

whee!

After exiting the North Gate, the group followed the map on the fan and arrived at Jiming Ridge an hour later.

At first glance, there was only one path leading up the mountain, while a line of soldiers stood guard at the foot of the mountain.

Well! It seems that signing in here and then going back to the tower to wait for the rabbit to run into the tree stump is not a realistic idea.

It's impossible not to go up the mountain.

Moreover, they needed to go up and 'communicate' with the disciples of the Wizarding Hall to investigate the true strength of the Wizarding Hall, in case one of the people sent this time knew how to break the witch butterfly mark.

That's right, the Wizarding Temple also sent a lot of guards and protectors to participate.

This is said to be a tradition of the Nanzhao Kingdom.

The people of the Wizard's Temple do not steal the treasure, but they will create obstacles for those who do, in order to test their strength, especially those who are candidates for elder.

That makes sense. What if there aren't many strong people participating in this treasure hunt? Wouldn't the elder candidates be able to easily obtain the treasure and become the head of the elders' council?

As for the people of the Wizarding Temple giving their preferred elder candidates a hard time?

I am very sure of that.

This was something the King of Nanzhao had to resolve himself.

It's none of their business.

Gu Qingyue specifically asked Mu Yun Chu about this issue.

Mu Yun Chu deduced that among the participants this time were not only people from the Wizarding Hall, but the King of Nanzhao himself must have also sent many people to infiltrate and participate.

Gu Qingyue thought it made perfect sense.

Then we'll see how they play their game. Gu Qingyue and her group can just go along with it and fish in troubled waters.

She's actually not interested in that treasure at all, unless it just falls into her hands by itself, haha.

She came here seeking a solution to the Witch Butterfly Mark.

After signing in and affixing their seals, Gu Qingyue and the others received a brocade pouch.

I touched it and found something inside.

Gu Yuanen excitedly poured it out to take a look.

Hah—it's a wolf's fang.

Several people looked at each other.

"Is it Wolf Fang Cave?" Qin Fang pondered for a moment before speaking.

Mu Yun Chu and Gu Qing Yue had also thought of this.

“Wolf Fang Cave is very likely, it’s also on this fan, but did you look closely at the small print below the picture?” Gu Qingyue reminded her.

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly opened their fans and took a look.

There were several lines of small characters below the fan, but one of them read: "Wolf packs gather in the North Ridge, extremely dangerous, take care."

After reading it, another silence fell. Wolf Fang Cave was to the east, while North Ridge was to the north…

"Where to go?"

The group was undecided for a moment.

A single wolf tooth could represent Wolf Tooth Cave, or it could represent the presence of wolves in the next clue-filled location, which could be Beiling.

"Where is the most dangerous place?" Gu Qingyue asked again.

Everyone is puzzled.

But Mu Yun Chu understood, "Go to Beiling!"

A hammer is fixed.

So, ignoring the idiotic looks from the others, Gu Qingyue and her group walked up the mountain path for a short distance before turning north.

After most of the day, Gu Qingyue and the others finally set off on the road to Beiling. It was a small mountain peak, the very place marked on the map, Beiling.

"Stop!" Gu Qingyue was about to turn around a large rock when Mu Yun Chu pulled her forcefully, causing her to stumble backward and be tightly embraced by Mu Yun Chu.

Gu Qingyue: ......

Everyone: ...Should we leave for a bit?

"What's wrong?" Gu Qingyue realized what was happening and immediately lowered her voice.

She naturally didn't think that Mu Yun Chu suddenly wanted to hug her; there must be something important going on.

Mu Yun Chu looked serious and raised an eyebrow in one direction.

Only then did everyone react.

Upon closer inspection, several figures emerged from the other side of the large rock.

“They’re from the Tiger Warriors,” Qin Fang said in a low voice, gesturing for them to look at their clothing.

Yes, those were the Tiger Warriors from the Tiger Warriors group at the foot of the Central Pagoda.

Strangely, the Tiger Warriors didn't travel together this time.

It was obvious that these people were among the younger generation, a total of seven, all around twenty years old. The men in their forties who were leading them were not present.

Gu Qingyue and the others exchanged glances. "It seems they went separately. Maybe some of them went to the Wolf Fang Cave," Gu Qingyue said thoughtfully.

The others nodded in agreement.

"Are we going to run into them?" Zhang Xubai nudged Mu Yun Chu's arm with his fan and asked excitedly.

They had been walking for most of the day and finally met someone who shared their path; otherwise, they would have wondered if they had gone down the wrong road.

"Let's go, we might run into other people later, no need to hide," Mu Yun Chu said, seeing that Gu Qing Yue also seemed eager to try.

Everyone agreed.

So, the group swaggered over the large rock, which was about ten feet high, and appeared before the Tiger Warriors.

As soon as Gu Qingyue and her group appeared, the group immediately became alert.

Staring at them with a scrutinizing gaze, a slightly older-looking young man immediately asked, "Who are you?"

"You're here to find treasure!" Gu Yuanen immediately replied with a beaming smile. "And you? Where are you from?"

“We are here to find treasure, just like you.”

Before the young man could speak, a squinty-eyed boy standing next to him spoke up; he seemed to have a rather lively personality.

"Nice to meet you!"

Gu Yuanen raised his hand in greeting.

The squinty-eyed boy's mouth stretched almost to his ears as he said, "Nice to meet you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the young man glare at him, so he immediately stopped smiling and became serious, "Don't follow us! We need to leave first."

After saying that, he tightened his grip on the small curved knife in his hand, waved it, and walked away with a swagger.

'Pfft-----' Qin Fang, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but laugh first.

Gu Qingyue also curled her lips; this kid was interesting.

Gu Yuanen: What a rascal!

"Why should you go first?" Gu Yuanen retorted.

"Just because—" The squinty-eyed boy puffed out his cheeks, ready to speak, but before he could finish, a 'slap—' came from the young man next to him, slapping the squinty-eyed boy on the head. "You talk too much."

"Third Brother Nian! You, you, you! How dare you hit me!" The squinty-eyed boy immediately looked aggrieved. His crescent-shaped eyes, which had been smiling just moments before, disappeared, and his little face scrunched up.

'Pfft----- Hahahaha-----' Gu Yuanen laughed in a very unscrupulous way.

This young boy doesn't look much younger than me, but he's really genuine!

Gu Yuanen's smile caused Zhang Xubai and Qin Fang behind him, as well as Mu Dong and Yue Ling behind him, to burst out laughing as well.

"Hmph! How dare you!" The young boy was very angry, staring at Gu Yuanen and the others, his small eyes almost turning into big grapes.
