"Senior Brother Xu, are you really going to treat that beast Sen Er?"

Back in the cave, after Qingzhen and the others finished listening to Qingxuan's story, their eyes all fell on Xuyuan.

They couldn't believe that Xu Yuan would do such a thing.

"He's our enemy! If it weren't for him, Qingbei wouldn't have died!" Qingben roared angrily, extremely dissatisfied with Xu Yuan's decision.

"They're not human, they're beasts. It's better that they're dead. Why bother saving them?"

"Kiyomoto, calm down."

Qingzhen reached out and pulled the agitated Qingben back, looking at Xuyuan with a puzzled expression: "Perhaps Senior Brother has his own reasons."

Xu Yuan glanced at him calmly: "Didn't you say the help wouldn't arrive until tomorrow at the earliest?"

"Besides, I said I would treat his illness, but I didn't say that I could definitely save him."

Upon hearing this, the three of them instantly calmed down and exchanged glances.

"Senior Brother Xu, are you trying to stall for time?"

Qingzhen was the first to react, and her tense face immediately relaxed.

"So that's how it is."

Qingxuan suddenly realized: "No wonder Senior Brother Xu asked them to carry Sen Er to the ridge. They wouldn't dare to make any rash moves if Sen Er was there."

"Even if they take action, they have to consider Mori's life or death."

"It's our martial arts association's Senior Brother Xu. I knew he wasn't that kind of person."

hula la...

A huge roar suddenly came from outside the cave. Xu Yuan and Qing Zhen exchanged a glance and quickly walked out.

Looking up, a helicopter was hovering overhead, and ropes were being thrown down from the helicopter, with several figures descending along the ropes.

"You arrived so quickly?"

No matter how arrogant the people of Chrysanthemum Country are, they wouldn't dare use helicopters to transport people here. Only their own people would be able to use helicopters.

After everyone disembarked from the helicopter, the plane circled halfway in mid-air before flying straight away.

Before long, seven or eight men walked towards them. They were wearing green clothes and black boots, and all had short haircuts. They stood in front of them.

The leader saluted Xu Yuan and the others.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Wang Qiang. I was sent here to support you from above. I am the team leader."

We came to check the situation first; the rest of us are on our way.

After introducing himself, Wang Qiang turned to introduce the middle-aged man next to him: "This is Lu Da, an expert from the research institute. He was specially sent by the higher-ups to check on the situation."

From the moment they came face to face, Xu Yuan and Qingzhen focused their attention on Lu Da, simply because they shared the same aura.

This expert, like them, is someone who specializes in researching things that cannot be made public.

"Captain Wang, hello." Qingzhen clasped his hands in greeting to Wang Qiang and introduced Xu Yuan and the others to him.

"I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly. I thought you wouldn't be able to get here until tomorrow."

"When the higher-ups received your call, they took it very seriously and immediately set up a special team, drawing on professionals from various regions."

This is no small matter. Our superiors instructed us to come first; the most important thing is to ensure your safety.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Wang Qiang immediately inquired about the current situation.

The halal man earnestly recounted his past experiences and then spoke about his current situation.

"Mr. Xu Yuan and I determined that they had already set up an array on the ridge and might activate it at any time."

"There's also a new development. Before you arrived, Yuanmu came to see Mr. Xuyuan and asked him to treat Moriji."

It seems that Mori's illness is quite serious; they must have suffered considerable losses after coming out of the ancient tomb.

As for whether anyone was lost in activating the formation, it is still uncertain.

Lu Da and Wang Qiang listened attentively to Qingzhen's explanation. Xu Yuan didn't say a word, standing silently at the cave entrance, gazing towards the mountain ridge.

"You went down into the ancient tomb, but what did you see?" Lu Da couldn't help but ask more questions when he heard that they had gone down into the ancient tomb.

Qingzhen spoke candidly about what they had seen and heard: "Thanks to Brother Xuyuan, we were able to get out safely."

As Lu Da heard Qingzhen praising Xu Yuan repeatedly, his gaze involuntarily fell on Xu Yuan.

"Are you Xu Yuan?"

"Are you a healer, or a practitioner of ancient martial arts?"

He looked at Xu Yuan with an arrogant air, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Who is your master?"

"What? You want to go and kowtow to him?"

Xu Yuan retorted irritably. He was a little puzzled as to why these people always liked to ask him who his master was.

It's as if they all know their master.

The key point is that even when I mention my master's name, they don't recognize him, making me seem like I'm very knowledgeable.

Lu Da was surprised that Xu Yuan spoke to him so bluntly, and his face immediately fell.

No one has ever spoken to him like that before.

Wherever I go, everyone respectfully addresses me as "sir".

Such a young brat, so arrogant.

"Young man, I was just asking a question, why are you talking to me like that?"

"Your tone doesn't sound very nice, does it?"

I was just asking you the question you were asking me, what's wrong with you?

"you…"

"Forget about 'yours' and 'mine.' We're here to handle business, not to discuss seniority."

If we're really talking about seniority, even if your master were here, he probably wouldn't dare speak to me like that.

"You've got quite the nerve."

"Mr. Lu, please don't take offense."

Seeing that the two were getting a bit heated, Qingzhen quickly stepped in to defuse the situation: "Senior Brother Xu has a rather straightforward temper, please don't take offense."

"What did you call him? Senior Brother?"

Lu Da stared at Qingzhen with displeasure: "He's just a kid, why are you calling him senior brother?"

"Mr. Lu, you may not know this, but we are different from you."

You come from a research institute, while we are just ordinary people; we have our own rules.

Let's get down to business.

Qingzhen pulled Lu Da back to sit on the rock and discussed countermeasures with Wang Qiang.

"Captain, our men have just spotted a large group of unidentified people moving outwards in the distance. Should we take action?"

"Moving outwards, are they retreating?" Wang Qiang walked to the cave entrance, picked up his binoculars, and looked into the distance.

"Don't disturb them. Just watch where they retreat to and keep an eye on them. Don't make a move that might alert them."

The sound of making a wish echoed softly, and he prepared to head to the agreed-upon mountain ridge.

Wang Qiang put down his binoculars, glanced at him, and after a moment's thought, decided to do as Xu Yuan had said.

"Do as Mr. Wishing says, send someone to keep an eye on them, but don't let them get caught."

He received a mysterious phone call before he arrived, instructing him to follow Xu Yuan's orders if necessary.

Although Xu Yuan's identity is unknown, the person who made the phone call is someone of unapproachable status; even his own superiors have to listen to him.

Ignoring the gazes of others, Xu Yuan stepped out of the cave and disappeared into the forest.

"Where are the others?"

Seeing that Xu Yuan was no longer there, Lu Da couldn't help but ask.

"Senior Brother Xu must have gone to see Sen Er for medical treatment."

"What? Treating Moriji? What was he thinking?"

I told you, a young, inexperienced kid like that is completely unreliable.

He'll ruin our overall situation by doing this.
