Chen Qiaorou nodded, "Alright, you two should come back early and be careful."
Yu Daohan nodded with a smile, then opened the door and left with Shi Bingzhi.
Outside, Shi Bingzhi finally let out a long sigh, "It's a good thing we hid the stuff in our clothes, otherwise we would have been exposed."
Although Yu Daohan didn't say anything, he nodded in agreement.
Inside the house, Chen Qiaorou turned and walked towards her own room after seeing the two leave, a hint of confusion on her pale face.
Why was this young man wearing all black, and the person next to him too.
Because Yu Daohan had delicate and handsome features, Chen Qiaorou's attention was entirely on him.
After all, no guy dislikes looking at handsome men, and she was no exception.
But what was more striking was Yu Daohan's pale complexion, which was the same as hers.
"This young man shouldn't be up to anything bad, right?"
Chen Qiaorou muttered to herself.
From her conversation with Yu Daohan, she could feel that the young man was a righteous person.
Although his smile was just out of politeness, she could feel that he was a person without a temper.
He was like a mature and steady man who already had children.
Most importantly, with his thin arms and legs, any slightly stronger man could take him down, let alone the fact that most people in this village knew how to raise and use Gu.
"No, I have to remind the young man next time," Chen Qiaorou shook her head and mumbled.
Although their Chen Family Village in Miao Jiang was hospitable, some people had bad tempers.
If the young man provoked them, even if he wouldn't be poisoned by Gu, he would inevitably be taught a lesson.
In a small alley.
Yu Daohan and Shi Bingzhi were walking towards the back.
As it was a tourist attraction, streetlights were installed on both the main streets and alleys.
However, the village was too large, and the streetlights were only placed every thirty meters or so, but it was enough to illuminate the path.
"Master Yu, I saw that young lady seemed interested in you," Shi Bingzhi said, trying to make small talk as there was nothing else to talk about.
Yu Daohan waved his hand and chuckled, "She probably just felt a bit more sympathetic because my complexion is as pale as hers."
Shi Bingzhi didn't expose him, believing that Master Yu had indeed noticed something.
Shi Bingzhi then said, "But speaking of complexion, her complexion doesn't seem right."
Yu Daohan nodded and retorted, "You also noticed that it's not a congenital weakness?"
Shi Bingzhi nodded, "Yes, from my observation, it should be caused by acquired factors."
Yu Daohan thought for a moment and then stated his guess, "It's probably due to prolonged bloodletting when I was young."
He then explained, "Her pale complexion is almost identical to mine. If it were congenital, it wouldn't be that pale."
Shi Bingzhi next to him didn't respond, but he looked at Yu Daohan's complexion, then his gaze drifted downwards, and stopped at his crotch.
Yu Daohan seemed to realize something and immediately turned to look at Shi Bingzhi, only to find him staring at his crotch.
He misunderstood.
Yu Daohan coughed dryly and explained, "Don't overthink it, this is caused by frequent use of the Samsara Blood Tears."
A bit of Samsara Blood Tears is no different from a drop of essence.
As the saying goes, a drop of essence is equal to ten drops of blood.
Not to mention himself, anyone would find it hard to endure.
However, fortunately, with the enhancement of the Flood Dragon's power and ghost energy, the consumption had been greatly reduced.
The back mountain was not too large, and there were stone steps. It took about two hours for the two of them to reach the mountainside.
They looked around, and Shi Bingzhi spotted a path leading deep into the tea plantation, saying with a smile, "Master Yu, do you see that's it?"
Yu Daohan followed the direction Shi Bingzhi pointed, and saw a small path not far away, surrounded by barbed wire.
There was also a warning sign next to it: [Private Property, No Entry, Consequences at Your Own Risk!!]
"It should be here."
Yu Daohan's lips curved upwards, and just as he was about to step forward, he stopped.
The two exchanged glances and both ran towards the nearby bushes.
As Yu Daohan and the two of them chased in, two figures walked out, cursing.
"I say, this newly appointed family head is really something. The previous family head never had anyone guard this place. Isn't it enough to have two clansmen watching at the bridge?"
The companion beside him chuckled, "Alright, stop complaining. Let's just patrol it once and go back."
The other man could only nod helplessly, "We can only do that."
From the bushes nearby, Yu Daohan and the two of them could hear their conversation clearly.
The two men did not linger and checked along the barbed wire.
After they were completely gone, Yu Daohan and Shi Bingzhi poked their heads out and quickly ran inside.
Upon entering, the two walked deeper.
Shi Bingzhi frowned slightly, "Master Yu, did you hear what those two were saying?"
Yu Daohan nodded, also a little confused, "Could it be that Chen Shanhe is no longer the family head?"
Shi Bingzhi nodded, "From what they said just now, it seems so."
Yu Daohan fell into thought.
Has something happened to the Chen family?
It shouldn't be. With Chen Shanhe, a Black List expert, guarding it, what could possibly happen.
Besides, that old fox Chen Guojun is still alive.
Shi Bingzhi asked, "Master Yu, how should we proceed now?"
Yu Daohan thought for a moment and replied, "Let's not worry about that for now. Let's first figure out where the Devouring Luck Gu is."
Shi Bingzhi nodded, and the two continued to walk deeper into the tea plantation.
The path they entered was also made of stone steps, but fortunately, no one was patrolling.
Shi Bingzhi couldn't help but sigh, "The place where the Chen family resides is quite hidden."
"Uh..."
Yu Daohan didn't answer, but looked towards the tea plantation on the left.
Seeing this, Shi Bingzhi instinctively reached for the weapon at his waist and lowered his voice, "Is there something wrong?"
Yu Daohan shook his head, "No."
He clearly felt someone just now.
Did he misjudge?
In the tea plantation, a masked man's face was grim, and he muttered to himself, "Such terrifying strength. Just a glance and I was almost discovered."
His companion beside him said unhappily, "You guy, if you get discovered, you'll have to explain it to the Left Envoy yourself."
The masked man felt a little wronged, "Isn't this just to ensure the plan is foolproof?"
His companion didn't blame him too much, and his expression was also slightly grim.
Who was that person just now?
The masked man said, "No, this change must be reported to the Left Envoy."
His companion also agreed.
About ten minutes later.
Yu Daohan and Shi Bingzhi had arrived within ten meters of the bridge.
The two saw six guards at the bridgehead from afar and, fearing to alert them, they slipped into the nearby tea tree forest.
Shi Bingzhi looked at the guards ahead and lowered his voice, "Master Yu, has something really happened to the Chen family? The number of guards is not normal."
