Bai Yunyan's face grew even colder, devoid of any trace of his earlier playfulness.
At this moment, Tan Mingjun arrogantly unleashed his aura, pressing down on Bai Yunyan with full force, laden with menace.
Ling Feng, upon hearing that the other party was also seeking the Jade Heart Fruit, felt a growing unease. Seeing the arrogance of the person before him, he couldn't help but let his own aura surge.
Things were already troublesome enough, and now a stray dog had appeared to block their path!
Ling Feng's killing intent surged, and just as he was about to deal with this nuisance, he noticed Bai Yunyan frantically signaling him. He immediately suppressed his killing intent.
Seeing this, Bai Yunyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The Jade Heart Fruit, I do indeed know where it is."
Tan Mingjun's eyes lit up at this. "Heh heh, good that you know. Take us there immediately!"
The commanding tone treated Bai Yunyan as if he were a mere servant.
"Take you there?"
Bai Yunyan raised his voice.
"The road ahead is fraught with peril. If I take you, who will be responsible if someone dies?"
"Old man Bai, you talk too much. Don't you see who I have behind me? 'Fraught with peril'? Even if fierce beasts block our path, with one command from me, they'll be riddled with holes!"
Qiu Yunyan said with disdain, utterly confident in the people behind her. Her eyes swept over Ling Feng.
This man was quite handsome, but who was he being so aloof for?
Qiu Yunyan shot Ling Feng a glare and urged, "Alright, stop wasting time and let's go!"
"Why are you looking for the Jade Heart Fruit?"
Ling Feng suddenly questioned in a cold voice.
A cold smile curved Qiu Yunyan's lips.
This man had finally succumbed to her charm and spoken to her.
But before Qiu Yunyan could reply.
Tan Mingjun stepped forward, positioning himself between Ling Feng and Qiu Yunyan.
This action clearly conveyed a message: Qiu Yunyan is mine, and you, kid, had better behave!
"What business is it of yours? Kid, just be your medicine boy. If we get the Jade Spirit Fruit later, I'll give you some reward money!"
Tan Mingjun was exceedingly arrogant, treating Ling Feng as nothing more than a mere errand boy.
Ling Feng's eyes grew increasingly icy.
If these people were just looking for other medicinal herbs, it wouldn't concern Ling Feng. But since they were also seeking the Jade Heart Fruit, he had to intervene.
However, seeing Bai Yunyan's eyelids twitching uncontrollably, Ling Feng decided to hold his tongue and not waste any more words with them.
"Let's go, let's go. Kid, put your things onto their vehicle!"
Bai Yunyan called out.
Lin Shuainan, without a second thought, placed two jars of wine before the heavily armed individuals.
"Be careful, these are treasures!"
Tan Mingjun's eyebrows twitched upon seeing this. "Hey, kid, what do you mean by this? Why should our people do your dirty work?"
Lin Shuainan paid no mind to who Tan Mingjun was, having already taken a dislike to him. He was about to unleash his verbal prowess!
But Bai Yunyan, unhurriedly, spoke first, "He's my medicine boy. He needs to conserve his energy for gathering herbs. What? Don't you want to get the Jade Heart Fruit sooner?"
This calm statement effectively silenced Tan Mingjun.
"Tan Mingjun, stop the nonsense and let's get going!"
Qiu Yunyan said impatiently, urging them forward with a commanding tone.
As she turned, she glanced at Ling Feng. "What's your name? Want to ride in my car?"
"Yunyan, how can such a lowly fellow ride in our car!" Tan Mingjun quickly interjected.
"What 'our car'? You go in your car, I'll go in mine!"
Qiu Yunyan clearly had no interest in Tan Mingjun. Such a suitor was insignificant to her.
Tan Mingjun's face immediately darkened, and he shot Ling Feng a resentful look, clearly having developed a hatred for him!
But, to his surprise, Ling Feng completely ignored them both and walked past.
"Not interested!"
His indifferent voice made Tan Mingjun's face contort.
Qiu Yunyan let out an even colder snort. "Hmph, a boor who doesn't know what's good for him!"
Qiu Yunyan's words somewhat eased Tan Mingjun's expression.
Ling Feng's lack of interest was a good thing for him, wasn't it?
"Heh heh, Yunyan, can I ride in your car now?" Tan Mingjun immediately asked.
"Ride my foot! Arrange a car for them and have them lead the way!"
Qiu Yunyan snapped angrily, her annoyance at Ling Feng's dismissal growing.
Her gaze then settled on Xiu Xiu.
Clearly, Qiu Yunyan was quite bothered by this woman whose beauty was in no way inferior to her own.
She had always been the most dazzling woman in everyone's eyes. How could she allow this woman before her to steal her thunder?
"Arrange a beat-up car for them!"
Qiu Yunyan thought for a moment, then pointed at the pickup truck at the very back.
Although the truck was a bit old, it was still a million-dollar piece of equipment. However, in her opinion, having people ride in the truck bed was incredibly undignified!
She simply wanted to see Ling Feng or Xiu Xiu embarrassed!
"No need, we have a car!"
Xiu Xiu, having sensed Qiu Yunyan's hostility, adopted an even more arrogant stance.
What a joke!
This was Nanyun, and Xiu Xiu had never even heard of this Qiu Yunyan. Within Miaojiang City, the Su family's influence was considerable. How could they be looked down upon by such a young girl?
"You have a car?"
Qiu Yunyan was taken aback for a moment.
Tan Mingjun, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes, staring at Xiu Xiu's graceful figure, and sneered, "What kind of good car could people of their status afford!"
"Mind your eyeballs, or I'll pluck them out and use them as light bulbs to be stepped on!"
Lin Shuainan suddenly leaped out, his face contorted in ferocity.
Tan Mingjun flinched, instinctively unleashing his surrounding aura.
"Bastard, what did you say? Are you looking for death?"
He had expected this powerful surge of energy to send Lin Shuainan flying. But to his surprise, it didn't budge him an inch.
"Tch, with such meager martial prowess, you dare to act tough in front of me?"
Lin Shuainan narcissistically flicked his hair, staring at Tan Mingjun with disdain.
His attempt to show off backfired spectacularly, turning Tan Mingjun's entire face green.
How could he have imagined that a mere medicine boy would possess such formidable martial strength!
Completely unfazed by his imposing aura!
Qiu Yunyan had initially found Lin Shuainan somewhat repulsive, but upon seeing his features revealed, she couldn't help but show surprise, her beautiful eyes lighting up.
She hadn't expected this "alternative" Lin Shuainan to hide such high-end good looks!
If he cleaned himself up, he wouldn't be inferior to Ling Feng at all!
"Stop wasting time with them, get in the car!" Xiu Xiu had already driven over.
"Kid, get in the car." Bai Yunyan rolled down the window, beckoning Lin Shuainan from the back seat.
"This is... a Bison SUV. Is this yours?"
Tan Mingjun's eyes widened.
