Hearing the words of the guide, Ye Leng’an immediately thought of the Gu worms. If what the guide said was true, then the people in this village were very likely to know how to raise Gu worms. Then three years ago, it was very likely that Zhongyu Yiran had also been here. She might even have been poisoned here.
After Huangfu Ruiling heard these words, he remained very calm, as if he did not notice anything.
However, Ye Lengan knew that he probably had the same guess as her.
“Is that so?” Ye Leng’an smiled and said casually, “But the people here are all very sunny and don’t seem to be the ones you said!”
Indeed, although this village looked simple and quaint and the inside seemed very backward, the people here all had smiles on their faces. It seemed that they were very satisfied with this kind of life.
The guide smiled embarrassedly. “Actually, what I said just now was just rumors. I’m not very sure what the actual situation is. The people here rarely go out. Usually, they will only interact with outsiders when they come here.”
“I see!” Ye Lengan looked at Huangfu Ruiling and said coquettishly, “Brother Ruiling, let’s stay here for two days, okay?”
That coquettish voice gave people goosebumps.
Even Ye Leng’an almost couldn’t stand that. However, there was no other way. They couldn’t directly show that they came all the way here to the southern boundaries for the medicinal herbs! Therefore, they disguised themselves as travelers and pretended in front of other people that she and Huangfu Ruiling were family friends, and she was a pampered young lady from an aristocratic family.
Li San and the others couldn’t help but shiver when they saw Ye Leng’an being affectionate. When they looked at Ye Leng’an, their eyes were filled with indescribable emotions.
Huangfu Ruiling, on the other hand, had no change in expression. He just nodded. “Since you want to, then we will stay here for a few more days!”
Li San immediately stepped forward, took out a wad of money from his pocket, and handed it to the guide. “I’ll have to trouble you to help me communicate to see if there’s any place we can stay. We plan to stay here for a few days. Of course, the price is not a problem.”
Though Li San was silent at normal times, after coming to the southern boundaries, he was in charge of almost all external matters.
The guide’s eyes lit up when he saw the thick stack of bills. After taking the money, he said with a smile, “These are all small matters. I’ll go and communicate with the old tribe leader of this village immediately.”
When he accepted the mission previously, he knew this group of people in front of him was very rich. During this period of time, he was even more certain of this idea. Unexpectedly, he was really lucky this time. After completing this mission, he could almost earn the money he earned in the previous whole year.
After the guide left, Ye Leng’an came to Huangfu Ruiling’s side. She bent down and whispered in Huangfu Ruiling’s ear, “No matter what I do later, don’t resist. Do you understand?”
Huangfu Ruiling looked at Ye Leng’an in surprise, but he didn’t ask anything. Instead, he nodded to show that he understood. Then, he felt something covering his body. That feeling disappeared in an instant. If he hadn’t been paying attention, he might have missed such a change.
However, he remained silent. Even the expression on his face did not change, as if he did not feel anything.
Ye Leng’an raised her eyebrows. She knew that Huangfu Ruiling was suspicious. However, she had no choice. This village was not ordinary. The people inside might have raised Gu worms. Huangfu Ruilings murderous aura was so strong that even poisonous creatures did not dare to approach them, let alone the Gu worms!
Gu worms survived after fighting with other poisonous creatures. One could imagine how much more powerful those Gu worms were than ordinary poisonous creatures. It was precisely because of the strength of Gu worms that they were more sensitive to danger.
She dared to say that with Huangfu Ruiling’s murderous aura, if the people in this village were really raising Gu worms, the Gu worms in the entire village would probably riot when he got closer. At that time, the villagers would probably be alerted before they even entered the village. Therefore, she could only cover Huangfu Ruiling’s body with faint spiritual energy, hoping to temporarily cover up the murderous aura on his body..
