Chapter 480 Quarrel
Next, Ling Mo kept pointing out the location of the burning grass.

Seeing that she was always so accurate in finding the target, the others no longer searched aimlessly on their own and gathered around Ling Mo, waiting for her order so that they could rush forward and grab the fire grass.

Also because of Ling Mo's help, the amount of fire grass collected increased at a very fast rate.

Although these people had not said anything about Ling Mo's idle behavior, they still felt uncomfortable. They just didn't say anything because of her status as a B-level adventurer and Fu You's ability.

After this incident, everyone was convinced.

"That's great. At this rate, we can complete the collection task today." Someone said happily.

Although the mission they accepted was not a dangerous one, it did not mean that there was no danger, otherwise it would not require adventurers of level B or above to accept the mission.

Even if they were lucky and didn't encounter any danger, the fatigue from the journey was enough for them.

Three people in the distance noticed this scene. He Yan slowly opened his eyes, and his sharp eyes stared at Ling Mo who was commanding people around in the distance, with a hint of contemplation in his eyes.

Finally, with everyone's efforts, the collection mission was successfully completed before dark.

Looking at the fire grass and red rock crystal brought back by everyone, after checking that there was no problem with the quality, He Yan reached out to put them away, but was stopped by Ling Mo.

He Yan's hand stopped in mid-air and he turned to look at Ling Mo, looking as if he had not reacted.

Seeing this, Huili was the first to speak, "Ling Mo, what are you doing? Hurry up and hand over the Red Rock Crystal and Fire Burning Grass to Lord He Yan for safekeeping."

Ling Mo put all the things into the space, and then said to Eri, "Didn't we already assign tasks before we set out? I'm responsible for collecting. In this case, of course I'll be the one to keep the things I collect."

After hearing Ling Mo's words, Eri's expression paused, then returned to normal. It was true, "But we are a team, and Lord He Yan is the highest-ranking among us. These things should be kept by him."

After hearing what Eri said, He Yan, who was standing aside, looked at Ling Mo with a haughty look. That expression seemed like she was waiting for Ling Mo to hand the thing to her.

At this moment, other people might fall for it, but Ling Mo doesn't.

"Since you are a team, why didn't you come over to help just now?" Ling Mo asked back.

Eri's tone froze, and for a moment she didn't know how to respond.

At this point, Kant on the side chimed in, "These things were collected by you all together. Even if you want to keep them in your own hands, you still need the consent of others."

Kant said this deliberately to confuse others and make them think that Ling Mo had bad intentions.

However, Ling Mo said confidently, "Why do we need their consent? Fu You dug out the red rock crystals one by one. Although they picked the fire grass, I found it. Without me, you could have completed the task so quickly."

Ling Mo's words were justified, after all, what he said was the truth.

Those who were somewhat dissatisfied after hearing Kant's words calmed down instantly after hearing Ling Mo's words.

Moreover, in their opinion, it doesn't matter who holds the thing. In their opinion, it's better to put it in Ling Mo's hands than in He Ran's. At least Ling Mo looks harmless, unlike He Yan, who looks difficult to get along with.

"That's enough!" He Yan suddenly scolded Huili and Kant, then he looked at Ling Mo deeply and continued, "Since you want to keep it, then leave it with you. But I'll be frank with you, if there are any problems along the way, we will not be responsible."

Ling Mo nodded, looking like a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger, "Don't worry, even if something happens to me, I won't let anything happen to them."

The argument ended with Ling Mo's victory. After all, the thing was already in her hands. As long as she didn't take it out, these people would be helpless no matter how hard they tried.

Seeing Ling Mo's confident look, He Yan's mouth curled up into a faint smile, as if mocking him. "I hope you can still be as confident as you are now."

"It's getting late now, let's continue tomorrow."

Because of the help of Ling Mo and Fu You, they completed the task ahead of schedule, so they had plenty of time.

At night, Ling Mo and Fu You leaned against each other with their eyes closed.

"Why didn't you want to give the thing to He Yan just now?" Fu You asked.

Based on Fu You's understanding of Ling Mo, she is most afraid of trouble. Like now, since the collection task has been completed, she should not care who has the collected things.

"Did you find something wrong?"

"No, I just don't want to give it to them. I'm afraid they will switch the things on the way." Ling Mo said truthfully.

"Switching? Is it possible?" Fu You's tone was filled with surprise.

"Why not? This kind of thing happens to a lot of adventurers. It's like your colleague gives you a document and asks you to hand it over to your boss. After you hand it over, you find that it's a mess. You go to your colleague to argue with him, but he says it wasn't like that when he gave it to you."

"What if we arrive at our destination and they exchange the red rock crystals we worked so hard to find for a batch of inferior products? Who can we turn to for justice?"

After listening to Ling Mo's reasons, Fu You said, "It shouldn't be that serious. We are not the only ones giving them this. There are other people here, too. They should be able to prove it."

Ling Mo laughed twice, "Naive!", "You said before that only talents of B level or above can take this mission. I brought you here, so guess who brought the rest of the people?"

"These people may not be in the same group with them, and we don't know what they think, but when things really happen, do you really think they will stand on our side?"

"Besides, He Yan is an A-level adventurer. Even if the Adventurer's Guild investigates, they will be more likely to believe the words of A-level adventurers. If that happens, we will really be unable to defend ourselves."

Fu You felt that what Ling Mo said was a bit too exaggerated, and thought she was a bit paranoid, but he had to admit that what she said made sense. After all, it is better to be careful than to be inconvenienced.

"And, the most important point is that my woman's sixth sense tells me that those people are up to no good." Ling Mo said in a very confident tone.

Fu You: ...
