He thought that something must have happened for Ye Leng’an to become like this.
“I’m fine. I was just thinking of something else.” Ye Leng’an smiled embarrassedly and changed the topic immediately. “I just felt that this tea was too fragrant) so I wanted another cup.”
She cracked a joke and kept laughing, but she was a little annoyed. She did not expect to be stunned by Huangfu Ruiling’s smile. It was really embarrassing.
She was caught off guard! It turned out that she was also a hidden love-struck fool! What a sin!
Huangfu Ruiling raised his eyebrows at her expression. Obviously, he did not buy it at all. However, he didn’t say anything and just silently poured her another cup of tea.
This time, she didn’t drink. Instead, she held the teacup in her hand and smelled the faint fragrance of the tea. Looking at the faint steam, she asked, “Do you think that there’s something strange about this village?

She nodded. It seemed that he had the same thoughts as her. According to the guide, Xiao Hu, the people in this village rarely went out. It could even be said that they lived an isolated life here. However, shouldn’t people in such a place be very xenophobic? At the very least, they should be very resistant and wary of outsiders.
However, the people here were not on guard against their visit. Instead, they were welcomed very much. And that tribe leader only praised them and didn’t even ask about where they came from the beginning to the end. If a stranger came to stay, didn’t they ask who the person was?
All of this seemed normal, but the details were weird.
“Although we are not sure that the people in this village raise Gu worms, the only thing we are sure of is…” A hint of seriousness flashed across Ye Leng’an’s eyes. “This village isn’t as simple as it seems. It can even be said that this place is full of danger.”
“It’s too early to say anything now.” He furrowed his brow. “I’ll ask Li San to snoop about in the middle of the night to see if there are any clues.”
“Alright.” She nodded. “Furthermore, l i m also very interested in the tribe leader’s motives. He accepted a few outsiders to stay here for no reason. He couldn’t do that for money. I always think that he may have other motives.”
“Since we’re here, let’s accept it.” He looked very calm. “No matter what his purpose is, it will eventually be exposed. We just have to wait.”
“That’s true.” She nodded. “The tribe leader is very clear that we are only staying for a few days. Therefore, no matter what his purpose is, he will be exposed soon. After all, he does not have much time.”
He continued to ask, “What kind of person do you think the tribe leader is?
“He is definitely not a good person.” She said without hesitation, “I feel that he definitely has blood on his hands, in a direct or indirect way.”
She could tell that this tribe leader had a blood debt. Therefore, the tribe leader had connections with someone’s life, maybe there was more than one person.
He nodded and then became more serious. “If the people here really know how to raise Gu worms, then the tribe leader must know how to do it too. In this case, we may be in a dangerous situation.”
At this time, Li San walked over and asked, “Master, do you think we should send more people over? The situation here is unknown. If these people really know how to raise Gu worms, they will definitely be a huge threat to us.”
The people they brought here this time were just ordinary people from the mortal world and were hired from the bodyguard company before they set off. Therefore, if they really had a head-on confrontation with these people who knew how to raise Gu worms, he was afraid that they would not have any chance of winning.
“It’s fine.” Ye Lengan shook her head and continued, “Previously, didn’t I give everyone a sachet? As long as you carry the sachet with you at all times, the Gu worms will not be able to get close to you. Of course, if you lose it, then I won’t be able to do anything to help.”
Before leaving for the southern boundaries, she had already guessed that this might happen. Although they were here to find the medicinal herbs they needed, the herbs were just what they needed to deal with Gu worms. Then they might encounter people who raised Gu worms. Even cultivators might become vulnerable when facing Gu worms, let alone ordinary people!
Therefore, when they were on the plane, she gave everyone a sachet to guard against Gu worms.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHearing Ye Leng’an’s words, Li San looked at the sachet hanging on his waist and heaved a sigh of relief.
Although he had never seen what a Gu worm looked like, as long as it was a worm, it would not look good. So, if possible, he naturally did not want those insects to get close.
At this moment, Huangfu Ruiling suddenly asked, “When did you give out the sachets? Why didn’t I know? Where’s mine? Why don’t I have one?”
Huangfu Ruiling happened to go to the lavatory when she was distributing the sachets on the plane, so he didn’t know about this at all. Now that he heard that everyone had sachets except for him, he naturally felt very uncomfortable.
“You don’t need it!” Ye Lengan was a little surprised that Huangfu Ruiling would suddenly ask such a question. “Those Gu worms don’t even dare to get close to you. Why do you want the sachet?”
Previously, it was because Huangfu Ruiling had a murderous aura. Now, although the murderous aura on his body had been covered, he still had her spiritual energy!
Gu worms were poisonous creatures. They had a natural rejection of clean things like spiritual energy. Therefore, neither she nor Huangfu Ruiling needed the sachet.
“Since everyone has one, give me one too!” Huangfu Ruiling insisted, “You can’t be biased!”
Hearing that, Ye Leng’an felt a little speechless. “But I’ve already given out all the sachets in my hands. Now, there’s not a single one left.”
This was not a lie. She did not prepare too many. Previously, when they were on the plane, they were just enough. She didn’t have another one now.
“When you go back, make me another one!” Huangfu Ruiling spoke emphatically, “Whether it’s the outside or the inside of the sachet, only the one you make personally counts..”
