orary guardian.Wu Lianyi was wearing a set of sportswear, with a small bag slung across her shoulder. All the greetings were borne by Wu Junyi himself, but he didn't dare to have any complaints.The Mi..."Chase!"

I don't know who shouted it, but everyone outside chased after him. Leading the way was She Lao, his sleeve's little green snake having already scurried into the forest ahead of him, following Hou Yong's tracks.

Liàn yī zhǐ shì zài zhǎn pò miào mén kou kàn rè hǒng, bìng méiyǒu yào cānyù de yì si, děng rén hū lā lā dōu zǒu yuǎn le, Wáng Yào zǔ cái tàn chū tóu, xiǎo shēng de wèn dào:

"Why don't you go and take a look, it's a treasure map!"

Even if that treasure map is real, it can't compare to you. Besides, we signed a contract, your safety is the priority. What if I leave and you get attacked

So you want me to chase after them

Ripple asked back.

"Of course not, I was just curious and asked out of the blue."

Wang Yaozu immediately said, his shoulder wounded by arrows hadn't healed yet, only staying by Lian Yi's side did he feel safe.

When Ripples had enough of the commotion, she turned and went back into the dilapidated temple.

"Get the potatoes and sweet potatoes out, they should be done. Let's have a late-night snack."

The ripples commanded directly.

Wang Yaizu immediately took two twigs, pried open the extinguished fire pit, dug out four black lumps that had turned to charcoal, and then re-lit the fire. In the firelight, he broke apart the potatoes and sweet potatoes.

The perfectly ripe potatoes and sweet potatoes steamed with a hint of sweetness, making Wang Yaozhu's stomach rumble with hunger.

Ripple didn't like sweets, so she picked a potato and passed the sweet potato to Wang Zhenzhen. Wang Yazu chose a sweet potato for himself and had already started eating it.

I wonder if those people caught up

Wang Yaizu ate a whole roasted sweet potato, filling his stomach before he began to ask questions.

"With Lao She around, it's probably fine."

Ripples added two pieces of firewood to the bonfire. The night in the woods was still a bit damp and cold.

Suddenly, a bright light flashed across the sky above their heads, followed by a deafening rumble of thunder.

Wang Yaizu stood up directly, without even stepping out of the dilapidated temple. He raised his head and looked at the night sky. At this time, another bolt of lightning appeared in the night sky, and he immediately said to Lianyi:

"Heroine, it looks like it's going to rain!"

After a flash of lightning and thunder, less than half an incense stick's time passed before the raindrops began to fall.

Wang Yaozu and Lianyi had already moved the bonfire and carriage to the other side, which was sheltered by a roof, and then casually moved several other bonfires as well.

"This rain really came at the worst time, it seems like they're probably going to have to return empty-handed tonight."

Wang Zhenzhen watched as the rain outside the dilapidated temple grew larger and larger, she said to Lianyi.

"Anyway, it has nothing to do with us."

Ripple said nonchalantly.

"Actually, I'd like to see that treasure map."

Wang Zhenzhen said thoughtfully.

Ripple didn't expect Aunt Zhen to be interested in the treasure map, so she sent a voice transmission and asked:

"Auntie, is it true that the wealth belonging to you and Mother has been drawn up into a treasure map"

“My wealth has always been kept by your grandmother for me. As for your mother’s belongings, since she is married, everything was given to her. Your grandmother never interfered with how she used them.”

That year, I arrived too late. I only found you with a broken heart. I didn't discover anything else. The entire Yingze Mountain Villa had been burned down. All that passed me by were the troops of Princess Xiangyi.

I suspect they might have known about your mother's inheritance all along, but there must have been some reason why they couldn't get it, which is why it took so long.

As we left the Sùnǚ Palace, everything we saw and heard along the way hinted at an impending war. Your mother's wealth would naturally attract some people's attention.

Only someone with malicious intent would release so-called treasure maps, after all, without proof or a map, it's impossible to successfully claim the wealth.

"They did this to force two things to appear, so that they could finally achieve their goal."

Wang Zhenzhen, after all, knows more and therefore thinks more.

"Aunt Zhen, it's likely that the royal court, various factions within the martial arts world, the Wang family itself, and even those who view Wang Family as a thorn in their side are all involved. They are all secretly manipulating events to further their own agendas. To resolve this situation smoothly won't be easy."

Even ripples transmit sound into secret passages.

"Yes! It's for your grandmother that I decided to come down the mountain. Besides, you've grown up now and it's time to return to your roots. The Xu family may be gone, but you are still a granddaughter of the Wang family. You have to go back once. Right now, I just hope you are mentally prepared."

"Aunt Zhen, rest assured, I know what I'm doing."

The ripples nodded eagerly.

And after half an hour, the rain gradually lessened. The group of martial artists who had gone out in pursuit, each drenched like a drowned chicken, returned to the ruined temple one by one.

Damn it, this rain couldn't have come at a worse time. It let those three bastards get away right under our noses!

Xiong Zigeng complained loudly.

The old snake followed closely behind, his face not looking good either. Because of the rain, the scent had been dispersed, and his young green snake couldn't track it anymore.

Xiao Shu escorted Wang Meimei into the dilapidated temple, urging her to change into a fresh set of clothes. He himself found a fire pit and sat down, beginning to dry his own garments over the flames.

Because of Lian Ri's foresight, this group of homeless people at least had a place to build a fire. Everyone thanked Lian Ri and her two companions.

"You're welcome! I have to protect my wife, so I can't chase after them. I wonder if those three left any clues"

“There was nothing left behind. Before, we could still find traces because of the old snake, so we were trailing them. Then it rained and washed away their footprints, making it even harder to track. The rain was too heavy, and we were afraid of getting separated, so we had to come back first.”

This round of dialogue is by Xiao Shu.

"That's too bad, those three are really cunning."

Ripple expressed a sigh.

"Indeed cunning, they were prepared to lose their pursuers here, even having horses ready in the woods. That's how we truly lost them."

Zhang Nian also agreed.

"It seems they expected to clash with the people from Broken Sword Mountain, so they prepared a backup here. That's why they ran towards us. We just didn't expect to run into them."

Ripples immediately chimed in.

Others were also complaining by the fire, they had actually missed the treasure map, it really made them feel uneasy and frustrated.

"Humph, even if they run, they won't live past tonight."

The snake said in a cold, emotionless voice.

"Old Snake, you left a contingency plan, didn't you"

When the three of them appeared, they were bitten by my little Qing. If they don't want to die, they will come back tomorrow themselves.

The old serpent said with a hint of pride.

"That's why it takes Master Snake to step in. Senior figures in the martial world are truly seniors. Xiong has learned a valuable lesson."

When Xiong Zigeng heard that there was a chance the treasure map could be recovered, his eyes lit up immediately. He first flattered She Lao.

After hearing this, everyone's complexion improved considerably.

Wang Meimei had already borrowed Lian Yi's carriage, changed her clothes, and sat by the bonfire when Lian Yi stuffed her with a roasted potato.

"Thank you, Ripple! I'm really hungry!"

Wang Meimei immediately broke the potato in half, giving half to her brother Xiao and eating the other half herself.windows.Shiju sighed in relief. Now he understood why the missioner, Ripple Ancestor, was targeted. The opponent was simply too perceptive. Although Chen Jia Shu wasn't on the original body's revenge...
