"It's like this. A few days ago, there was a rich mercenary group that ordered me to play. I'm a bit curious. Normally, these fugitives wouldn't be willing to spend so much money just to pay attention to their conversations."
Seeing that Hua Ruge was interested, Hong Xiu continued: "In the end, I did indeed hear some things. They said that they came back from the Profound Beast Forest a few days ago, and said that they even entered the depths of the forest where high level profound beasts resided."
"You must be joking. How strong are they?" Hua Ruge was suspicious.
"I saw the badges on their chests. There were three Battle Master s and two soul masters. The rest weren't powerful."
"This kind of team can't even enter the center of Profound Beast Forest." Hua Ruge was certain of his judgement.
I think it's because there were a lot of high-rank Xuan Beasts fighting and the mid-rank Xuan Beasts were scared away. They just got in for a look and came back after a short glance, and then got a reward from the Hua Family." Red Sleeves said again.
Hua Ruge frowned, as he analyzed the clues.
"The day before yesterday, my sister received an official guest. I heard that an entire mercenary group died. According to their names, it was them."
"Also, the two ladies of the Hua family and the Fang family both broke through to the spirit master level. However, it was only yesterday that they went into seclusion."
Hong Xiu told all the related news.
Hua Ruge's eyes lit up as he looked at the laughing Hong Xiu and asked, "Test me?"
"Since it's such a long night of boredom, why don't you come and try to solve it, young master?"
"Alright." Hua Ruge nodded his head: "The mercenary groups must have obtained benefits from the Hua Clan, they must have provided them with some sort of treasure, if the Hua Clan wanted to silence them, it would not have taken them a few days to kill people, that's why their death came about."
"The Hua family's status is very high, and there are not many things that could interest them, so this must be related to the mercenary group entering into the territory of the high level mystical beasts.
However, they would not be able to gain anything from this trip, so they must have seen something. "Combined with high-level mystical beasts, they must have sent a message to the Hua family to inform them that something big must have happened in the forest of mystical beasts."
"Normally, those who had just levelled up wouldn't immediately go into closed-door training. The most likely scenario would be to hide their traces, so Hua Ruxue probably wanted to go to the Profound Beast Forest secretly. And for Fang Lanxin to actually do the same, it was very likely to be a single goal.
"It's not hard to guess why the mercenary company was killed. It must have been too ostentatious and the Fang family found out about it and destroyed it."
"The core of this matter is the Profound Beast Forest, and I coincidentally have to go there as well." Hua Ruge turned his head to look at her and said, "So you're telling me that there's a good item in Profound Beast Forest that's worth fighting over, right?"
"Young master is indeed smart. I've been thinking for a long time." Hong Xiu praised.
"It seems like I didn't choose the wrong person. Your sense of smell is really sharp." Hua Ruge was very satisfied with her analysis and summary abilities.
Hong Xiu pursed his lips and smiled: "Sir, you helped me so I should do this, moreover, I do like this kind of thing."
"More and more, I feel that I have made the right decision." Hua Ruge laughed.
Hong Xiu said as her eyes widened, "Then why don't we have a drink?"
"Drink your tea." Hua Ruge said as he took a sip of tea.
Right now, she was not in the mood for drinking. Her mind was filled with thoughts of the trip to Profound Beast Forest in half a month's time, and she was very curious as to what kind of good thing could cause these two great clans to flock to it like a flock of ducks.
Hua Ruge would use this half a month's time to search for information, ask people with experience, and then buy equipment. After all, her Profound Beast Forest were filled with dangers, so she had to minimize her own risks.
Previously, she had around a hundred thousand gold coins and had to sell two more batches of pills to collect all the equipment. From this, it could be seen that she had spent a lot of her health.
Tuoba Rui couldn't help but laugh when he saw her fiddling with those things. This woman was actually so afraid of death.
Hua Ruge satisfactorily placed the items into his storage space, and said to him: "Battle King, I will be leaving tomorrow. Can you let me have a good night's sleep?"
Tuoba Rui's face immediately darkened, would she not miss him at all?
Hua Ruge knew that he couldn't force his way in, so he forced a smile. "You see, tomorrow I'll be in a lot of danger. I'm not sure if I'll be able to come back, you ?"
"Shut up!" Tuoba Rui's voice was as cold as ice, causing her to feel a chill in her heart.
Someone who was afraid of death quickly shut his mouth and stopped talking.
She now understood Tuoba Rui's temperament, as long as she did not anger him, he would be fine. Of course she did not dare to try the consequences of provoking him. Afraid of death!
Tuoba Rui's face was still very unsightly, she did not know how anxious he was when he heard her words.
Seeing that she had really stopped speaking, Tuoba Rui felt that she had been shocked. Her expression became slightly better, and she went forward to hug her head.
She was sitting now, and he was standing, completely protective.
Again!
Hua Ruge clenched his teeth, this bastard was addicted to taking advantage of others, right?
"I can't go with you. Promise me you'll come back safely." His voice was somewhat heavy and there were a few Pain Color s in his pitch-black eyes. However, Hua Ruge, who was currently leaning on his waist, could not see them.
"Alright, alright, alright. No need to accompany me, I will definitely be fine." Hua Ruge replied honestly, she was really afraid that he would follow her, so when the time came, she would definitely be drowned to death by his people's saliva.
This death was not good at all.
Tuoba Rui did not speak, he only hugged her and did not let go.
The candlelight flickered, the room was filled with an ambiguous feeling.
Hua Ruge wanted to say something several times, but she didn't dare to. She felt that there was something wrong with Tuoba Rui today.
After a while, he let go of her and said, "I'm leaving, this is for you."
Hua Ruge saw that it was a black vest and knew that he was obsessive-compulsive disorder, so she accepted it without hesitation. This vest was extremely light, as if it was made from animal skin.
"This is the inner armor. Wear it underneath." Tuoba Rui didn't seem to want to say more.
"Thank you." Hua Ruge nodded in thanks.
Seeing that she did not decline, Tuoba Rui's expression became a lot more gentle. He reached out to stroke the top of her head that was hanging down as he warmly said: "Rest early."
Hua Ruge was shocked by his sudden gentleness. She did not know what he was up to, and could only nod her head, trembling.
The next day, Hua Ruge was once again called out by Lan Bing'er. Even if it was something major, she was still used to lazy bed.
"Brother, this is for you." Lan Bing'er took out a scented sachet and handed it over.
Hua Ruge rubbed his eyes and asked: "What?"
"This is the safety amulet I got from the temple yesterday. It can protect brother's safety." Lan Bing'er said seriously.
"This little girl is quite superstitious. Alright, I'll keep her." Hua Ruge extended his hand out to receive it.
As someone who was used to controlling others, Hua Ruge definitely wouldn't place her safety on the gods, but she didn't want the little girl to worry.
"I will be fine, your An Xin Academy, if someone bullies you, then come find Brother Yan, he will help you." Hua Ruge looked at the little girl's reluctant expression and reminded her.
