The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 2858 The Reason

The Qian family, the Han family, the valley, the spiritual herbs that broke through the levels, and so on, all these things formed a huge network that Ouyang Nan could not understand, and made her feel that this expedition was fraught with dangers.

Recalling that when they set out from the family, they encountered an attack. If they had not changed their route in time, they might not have caught up with the expedition team. But who arranged the attack to prevent them from joining the expedition team is still a mystery.

Then, after reuniting with the expedition team, Ouyang Nan felt that the warriors of the Han family always had a hidden hostility towards the Ouyang family. Although she didn't know why, as a woman's intuition, she could still feel it.

However, she couldn't say this hostility out loud, after all, she and Ouyang Min were not very close. Although Ouyang Ruoxi was the acting clan leader, she was currently in charge of the expedition team. Also, intuition was a sense that was hard to express without certainty. Therefore, Ouyang Nan could only conceal it temporarily and tell Ouyang Ruoxi after finding obvious evidence.

Now, she felt that the Qian family had deep malice towards the Ouyang family, which also made her a little exhausted. I really don't understand. Everyone came here to explore and find the spiritual herbs that can break through the ranks, so why do they have to be hostile to each other and scheme against each other? Can't they just explore properly, face danger together, and harvest spiritual herbs?

After talking with Chen Mo, she understood that Qian Ying had plans against the Ouyang family. Even the loss of three of their own warriors was due to Qian Ying's plan.

Seeing Ouyang Nan's worried expression, Chen Mo got straight to the point and said, "Are the things you asked me just now because of Qian Ying?"

"Aunt, could the three people we just lost be related to Qian Ying, the innate master?" Ouyang Ruoxi paused for a long time and asked. She was not really a naive person, otherwise Ouyang Jing would not have called her back and made her the acting clan leader.

The Ouyang family is not a small family, but a martial arts family that has been passed down for hundreds of years in the northwest. The family used to have innate masters, but due to modern resources and some other problems, the entire family has no innate masters. However, the inheritance still exists, otherwise Ouyang Jing would not have gone into seclusion to advance to a innate master.

Therefore, when Ouyang Ruoxi heard the conversation between Chen Mo and Ouyang Nan, she naturally understood that there was definitely something wrong.

Ouyang Nan sighed deeply, then expressed his suspicions, and finally said: "I really can't guess why the Han family is hostile to us, and I really can't figure out why Qian Ying is hostile to us. This is also what I am a little entangled about, and I even suspect that my guess is wrong. But after thinking about it, I feel that what happened on the hill must have been deliberately arranged, otherwise we would not fall behind and lose three people here."

"Aunt, maybe you are right. From the beginning, I felt that Han Chengye of the Han family seemed to have a hidden hostility towards us." Ouyang Ruoxi said: "Aunt, do you think that the attack we encountered when we left the family residence was caused by the Han family?"

"It's hard to say. After all, no one was arrested at that time, and there is no direct evidence to prove that it was the Han family who did it. After all, on the surface, there should be no contradiction between us and the Han family, and the Han family and our family have always had a good relationship. However, nothing is absolute. After we go back, we must investigate it thoroughly. Maybe it was really the Han family who did it." Ouyang Nan said.

"We need to investigate it thoroughly. If we don't figure this out, there might be other attacks in the future." Ouyang Ruoxi paused for a moment, then continued, "Also, when dealing with the firefly attack, Han Chengye seemed to be intent on snatching our family's branches. But at the time, other families also had them, but Han Chengye was staring at us and snatching them directly, and Qian Ying was trying to smooth things over. I had some doubts at the time, but because there was no direct evidence, and Qian Ying was a warrior from the three realms of innateness after all."

Ouyang Nan also nodded and said, "Yes, I had doubts at the time, but because Han Chengye did not succeed and Li Mo returned in time, I did not think too much about it. Now I think there is something wrong."

"This time at the Hilly Nursery, Qian Ying arranged the collection area and the speed of evacuation when in danger. Now that I think about it, he must have sensed the danger, so he deliberately arranged us to the farthest area. And because the distance was too far, we became the last team to evacuate."

"If Li Mo hadn't rescued us in time, the consequences would definitely not be just the loss of three people."

Looking back now, Ouyang Nan still felt a little scared. After all, the attack power of the big white dough was too high. The low temperature of absolute zero was not something that any acquired warrior could withstand. Especially without a domain, if the filaments were sprayed directly onto any part of the body, it would be frozen directly.

Chen Mo had already discovered something in his mind, after all, he had been attacked several times on the way here. Although he didn't know whether it was Qian Ying or Qian Wantong who made the arrangement, now that he thought about it, even if Qian Ying didn't do it himself, he should have known about the few times when he was secretly attacked.

After all, for a master of the third level of innateness, how could he possibly conceal a small move by his subordinates?

Now, after hearing Ouyang Nan's explanation, he understood that both the previous attack and this attack might have been the intention of Qian Ying. And this time, Qian Ying directly came forward to plan and target the Ouyang family.

But, what is the reason?

Could it be because of the attack on Qian Wantong that time? It should be possible, but it should not be all.

Unfortunately, although Chen Mo guessed a little, he was still young after all, and didn't know that people's hearts were not the same as before, or for Qian Wantong and Qian Ying, a slap in the face would make them hate him. People's hearts were really hard to understand.

Ouyang Ruoxi murmured, "How should we face this situation?" Ouyang Nan didn't know how to face it either. After all, it was hard to say what the situation was like. In addition, as the leader of the expedition team, Qian Ying naturally had the authority to arrange some tasks, which had been decided before departure.

So three people were lost this time, and if they encounter any danger again in the future, they may lose more people. Moreover, Qian Ying can openly arrange dangerous things for the Ouyang family. As the team leader, Ouyang Nan cannot refuse.

After thinking for a while, Chen Mo said directly: "Faced with this situation now, we can't say anything. After all, we all agreed before we set out that everything is based on Qian Ying. Even if they know that Qian Ying is targeting us, other families will not stand with us. Therefore, if we make things clear, we may be blamed, or even suppressed by everyone else, or even take action against us."

"Then how should we deal with this situation?" Ouyang Ruoxi asked.

"Don't worry about anything else, just pretend you don't know. It's the same as it was before. However, you must be careful and alert in private. No matter what the mission is, or if you encounter any danger again, you must deal with it carefully. It's best for the entire team to not disperse and to unite together. Everything should be based on saving your life." Chen Mo didn't know which faction the whole team belonged to, except for Ouyang Ruoxi and a few others. This time, he was on a mission with the intention of suppressing the people in that faction of the Great Elder in private.

However, Ouyang Ruoxi and Ouyang Nan were not in a position to tell Chen Mo about this matter, so Chen Mo was not aware of it.

In addition, as the acting clan leader, Ouyang Ruoxi still couldn't bear to send her fellow clan members to die, even though the people from the Great Elder's faction were against her and Ouyang Jing. She couldn't watch these people die, after all, they were members of the same family as her.

If only a few people were lost, it would still be acceptable, but the loss of more than ten people was something that Ouyang Ruoxi, and neither Ouyang Nan nor her, could do.

Therefore, if it could save the lives of most people, the two of them would be willing to do so.

When Ouyang Nan and Ouyang Ruoxi heard Chen Mo's idea, they could only nod in agreement.

"Okay, this is the only way for now. If Qian Ying's plot against us is too obvious, then we will have to plan carefully. Perhaps it is better to leave the entire expedition team rather than being targeted by them." Ouyang Nan said.

"Let's do this for now." Ouyang Ruoxi also agreed.

There is no good solution at the moment. After all, several families, including the Qian family, have come here and still do not understand this valley. Especially no one knows what dangers are ahead. And once they are separated from the team, how to face the dangers in the valley, and whether they should continue to move forward or retreat, are all big problems.

Returning along the same route seemed impossible. Dangers were everywhere. Even the people of the Ouyang family might die on the way back.

After the three of them talked for a while, Ouyang Nan left the tent.

When Ouyang Nan was there, Ouyang Ruoxi had some things she couldn't say. After she left, she said to Chen Mo, "Ah Mo, I'm sorry to bother you with family matters."

"It's nothing. After all, this also concerns you and your family." Chen Mo said.

Ouyang Ruoxi reached out and held his hand, then said, "Amo, thank you."

At this moment, Ouyang Ruoxi regretted coming here. After all, she didn't want to bring the person she loved into danger.

"Amo, I know you are very strong, but you have to understand that I don't want you to be in danger. So if there is any danger later, you should be careful and it is best not to take risks. After all, no one is as important as you in my heart." It was not easy for Ouyang Ruoxi to say this. After all, the whole team not only includes members of the Ouyang family, but also her dear aunt, but at this moment, none of them are as important as Chen Mo.

This also shows that Chen Mo already has her heart and loves him deeply, occupying a vital position in her heart.

Chen Mo didn't say much, but held Ouyang Ruoxi's hand tightly, knowing in his heart her feelings for him.
