I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 139 Are they really going to rob us?
"Xiao Qi, Ashuo, something's up."

The two little ones were having a great time playing with the fire pig when Wei Xiaole, who had been keeping a close eye on the situation in the dense forest, spoke up to remind them.

Meng Qi turned her head, "So someone's really trying to steal it?"

Dongfang Shuo clicked his tongue, "I told you you lack social experience and knowledge. You don't even know that some people in this world have skin thicker than copper and iron. What shameless things won't they do to achieve their goals?"

He clapped his hands, stood up, felt the bewildering array he had left at the entrance, and snorted, "Damn it, knowing I was here, the Dongfang family still sent people over. Don't they have any shame?"

The Bewitching Array uses a common array formation from the Dongfang family, so only members of the family familiar with array formations can break it in such a short time.

Meng Qi laughed heartily, "Didn't you say your family is shameless? Why are you surprised? You'd be surprised if they didn't come, otherwise why would you set up a family formation at the entrance?"

Indeed, if Dongfang Shuo really wanted to stop someone, he would use a modified bewitching array, not the kind that almost everyone in the Dongfang family knew.

"It's not your second brother, Dongfang Yin, again, is it?"

He might have come to lead the way, but Dongfang Shuo waved his hand, "Impossible. That bastard cares about his reputation. He's gone now and he definitely won't come back to try and make his presence known to me. You don't know, when I was little, one of my great-grandfathers from a collateral branch of the family said that I was more talented than him. He held a grudge, and when our grandfather tested us, he secretly sabotaged my talismans and array materials to prove that he was better than me. He lost face in front of me so much today, he definitely won't do anything directly, he'll just resort to some underhanded tricks behind my back."

Meng Qi's eyes lit up. "He's going to use underhanded tricks to frame you? Great! Let's strike first, find a sack, put it over his head, and beat him up."

Wei Xiaole, still speechless, raised her hand and tapped Meng Qi on the forehead, "Are you just looking for trouble? Putting a sack over someone's head and beating them up, why don't you just use an invisibility talisman to beat them up?"

Before entering the special training camp, Dongfang Shuo had been studying a fragment of an invisibility talisman, but he had never succeeded. It was only with Meng Qi's help that he was able to draw it.

In other words, the people of the Dongfang family do not possess invisibility talismans.

So why not just stick it on and beat people up openly and honestly? Why go through the trouble of putting a sack over them?

"As expected of the eldest brother, he's amazing!"

Meng Qi gave him a thumbs up.

Wei Xiaole looked at Dongfang Shuo. She never expected that this kid, who seemed so arrogant at first, would live such a miserable life in his own family. No wonder he always spoke of the Dongfang family with such disgust and irritation.

At this moment, the group of people who had broken through Dongfang Shuo's formation were rapidly approaching the center of the dense forest where they were located.

The three of them saw that the person leading the way was Meng Kaijie from the Meng family, whom Dongfang Shuo had just mentioned. Behind him were more than twenty middle-aged and young people, who appeared calm but had unfriendly eyes and looked ruthless and calculating.

“I remember, it was in this area.”

Meng Kaijie stopped about thirty meters away from Meng Qi and the others, turned his head to look around, and his eyes lit up when he looked down. "Look, right here, that red-haired monster is spitting fire and burning the vines that Meng Qi is using to bind it. The withered leaves under it are also burning. This is the ashes."

Two middle-aged men in their forties squatted down to examine the ash. One of them, who had a small mustache, rubbed the ash between two fingers.

After the two finished looking around, they stood up. The man with the mustache turned to a man in his thirties standing not far from him and asked, "Brother Du, is there a formation here?"

The man shook his head and answered firmly, "No."

"It seems they've moved to a different location, but the car is outside the dense forest, which means they haven't left and are still here."

After finishing his sentence, the man with the mustache continued, "Everyone, split into three groups and search in three directions. Once you find them, don't act rashly. Notify the others first, and we'll talk after everyone arrives." He paused, then turned to the others and asked, somewhat unnecessarily, "Brother Du and Brother Meng, you don't have any objections, do you?"

The "Brother Meng" he addressed was not Meng Kaijie, but a young man who looked to be around thirty years old, about 1.8 meters tall, well-dressed, and handsome.

Most importantly, Meng Qi found him very familiar.

She nudged Dongfang Shuo with her elbow and whispered, "Have I seen him before?"

Dongfang Shuo was speechless and reminded her, "That billboard."

"Oh right, that ruthless and cunning person is Meng Wenze?"

"It should be." The reason he couldn't be sure was because he had never seen Meng Wenze alive.

The group dispersed, just as Meng Wenze, along with Meng Kaijie and a few others, headed in their direction.

They walked very slowly because Meng Kaijie kept pointing to several places and whispering to Meng Wenze, "Fifth Uncle, look over there, over there, and over there. These places used to be covered with vines, a dense multitude, but now Meng Qi has controlled them and bound the red-haired monster. I observed carefully; she manipulates these vines very easily, without any effort. Leaves are even easier for her. Look at this tree—"

That tree trunk was once used by Meng Qi to prevent the four of them from leaving, as a way to intimidate them. Now, the leaves that had been attached to it are long gone, but the marks where the trunk was pierced are still there, lined up from top to bottom, a total of six.

Meng Wenze stood in front of the tree trunk, his eyes fixed on the cracks.

"Fifth Uncle, can a wood-attribute herb implanted into her dantian through medication reach this level? She's only twelve years old."

Twelve years old.
Even Meng Wenze, a genius recognized by the Meng family, only awakened his metal element at the age of thirteen, let alone control it. It was three years later that he made some progress.

"Fifth Uncle."

Meng Wenze raised his hand to interrupt him, then turned to a man in his forties behind him and said, "Send people to Yunmeng Village and thoroughly investigate it from top to bottom. Go now!"

The man nodded in acceptance and then turned and walked out of the dense forest.

Meng Kaijie was stunned, somewhat puzzled by Meng Wenze's behavior.

He was young and unaware that someone from his ancestors had passed away, and that this person was a high-ranking member of the direct line.

As for the fact that the Meng family patriarch had sent people to Yunmeng Village, only a few people knew about it, and Meng Wenze was one of those few.

Meng Qi, who was sitting cross-legged not far away, heard the entire conversation between the group.

She squinted at Meng Wenze, a cold smile creeping onto her lips. Go to Yunmeng Village? Dream on!
The next second, Meng Qi was no longer inside the formation.

Wei Xiaole looked at Dongfang Shuo with concern and whispered, "You go too, and keep an eye on her."

Dongfang Shuo stood up, patted his bottom, and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Based on his understanding of Meng Qi, he would definitely go to the exit to kidnap the person who was leaving for Yunmeng Village. It was just a small fry; how could she not handle him?
Now he also has something to do. Dongfang Du is his cousin. When an elder comes, how can he, as a junior, not go and greet him?
