The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 2939 An Unintentional Coincidence

Qian Wantong's strength was only at the tenth level of the Acquired Realm, not even at its peak. Otherwise, Chen Mo wouldn't have been able to control his own strength at the tenth level of the Acquired Realm and then utterly crush him.

If it weren't for Chen Mo's argument, this old guy wouldn't hold onto this grudge so much, and wouldn't always be thinking about sending Chen Mo to his death.

So now the idea of ​​using some tricks on the ropes to cross the canyon is good, but it is actually quite difficult to implement.

After all, strength doesn't allow it, and people aren't stupid, so controlling the force and the degree of destruction are very much a test of strength.

Seeing Qian Wantong's hesitation, Qian Ying understood that this guy wanted to cause trouble, but his strength didn't allow it, so she just chuckled inwardly. However, she did somewhat agree with Qian Wantong's idea of ​​causing trouble.

Forming small expedition teams to explore the other side of the canyon is actually one of his methods. His main purpose is to send people to scout ahead and lure out the enemy. Once the enemy is drawn out, it will be easier to fight the alien beasts later.

Of course, even if he didn't uncover the truth, the fact that Ouyang Nan and the others were killed off would suit his purposes perfectly. Regardless of how the matter was handled, he considered himself to have achieved his goal.

However, Qian Ying also harbored a certain dislike for the young man named Li Mo. After all, despite his numerous underhanded tactics and petty tricks, he had never managed to bring Li Mo to his knees, which made Qian Ying lose face.

Therefore, Qian Wantong suggested using some tricks on the ropes, as long as it would make that young man Li Mo suffer a loss, or even kill him off, he was willing to do so.

Another issue is how Qian Zhenghao can avoid making any underhanded moves; it would be best to explain things clearly.

"Alright, let's go take a look over there first." After saying that, Qian Ying walked towards the rope that had been set up, and Qian Wantong immediately followed.

The Qian family's temporary camp was not far from the edge of the canyon. After instructing the others to continue collecting the scattered supplies, the two arrived at the edge of the canyon.

To their surprise, they found Ouyang Nan right where the ropes were tied. Qian Ying's face immediately darkened. Had this woman guessed their plan to cause trouble? Why was she standing there?
When Ouyang Nan saw Qian Ying and Qian Wantong coming over, he couldn't help but roll his eyes. These two guys definitely had ill intentions.

"Elder Qian, what brings you here..." Ouyang Nan asked deliberately.

"Oh, our Elder Qian wanted to come and check if the rope we've set up is feasible. After all, the entire expedition team will need to use this rope to cross over and reach the other side. So let's take a look now so we can be on the safe side," Qian Wantong said.

Qian Ying nodded to Ouyang Nan without saying anything. Instead, she stepped forward and tested the rope's tension with her hand. After looking down into the canyon, she asked, "Ouyang Nan, did you see any movement down in the canyon when you came here?"

Ouyang Nan shook his head and said, "No, we only heard the roars of strange beasts from below the canyon, but we didn't see anything. After all, there's a thick black fog below the canyon, so we can't see anything."

Qian Ying nodded again, listened for a while, and sure enough, she could faintly hear roars coming from the bottom of the canyon, but she couldn't see anything.

For a moment, he sighed. This expedition had been fraught with danger, yet the gains were meager, and it turned out to be a loss.

Fortunately, the canyon belongs to the Qian family. Once the exploration is complete, they can utilize the information gathered to make good use of the canyon's resources. Furthermore, any future development will be handled solely by the Qian family.

Just imagine, the entire canyon will belong to the Qian family in the future. How much will those rare medicinal herbs and treasures increase the family's strength?
Furthermore, this exploration of the entire canyon resulted in losses not only for the Qian family but also for other families. In this way, the Qian family's losses were mitigated, which was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

It's a good thing to be able to use the martial artists from other families to investigate the situation of the entire canyon.

“Ouyang Nan, you said earlier that someone crossed the canyon when the ropes were being set up?” Qian Ying asked.

"Yes, it's Li Mo from the team, you should know him. When setting up the rope, they first threw a thin rope across, then used a grappling hook to grab the other side, and then carried the rope across the canyon, securing it to the rock base on the other side." Although Qian Zhenghao wasn't there at the time, everyone could deduce this, so there was no need to hide it; they just explained the situation.

"After Li Mo crossed over, he didn't stay there for long. He simply secured the rope and used it to return. After all, nobody knew what was happening on the other side, and he had no support once he got there alone. If danger arose, we might not be able to provide timely assistance."

So I told him to go back first, and after we've roughly figured out the situation with the strange beasts at the bottom of this canyon, we can cross the canyon to the other side. That way, we can coordinate our efforts and provide timely support in case of any danger," Ouyang Nan explained simply.

After all, Qian Ying is a powerful old man, so it's best not to offend him openly.

"Hmm, very good. You've made good arrangements," Qian Ying echoed, then turned to Qian Wantong and said, "I'm going to go take a look. You stay here." "Elder, no, no. I'll go take a look myself," Qian Wantong immediately objected.

Although it was unclear why Qian Ying suddenly suggested crossing the canyon to take a look, Qian Ying was the pillar of the entire Qian family. They hadn't even thoroughly investigated the other side yet; what if something unexpected happened?

"Alright, I'll go take a look. It won't take long." Qian Ying waved and gestured with her eyes, avoiding Ouyang Nan.

Qian Wantong nodded slightly to indicate that he understood, but he was somewhat confused. The elder had given him a meaningful look; what did that mean? Was he telling him to watch over this area, or to break the ropes?
However, it shouldn't be about destroying the rope, since the elders need to use the rope to cross and then return.

If it's not about breaking the rope, then what is it? Do you want me to keep an eye on Ouyang Nan?
But why are you staring at Ouyang Nan?
For a moment, Qian Wantong was completely baffled by the meaning behind that look, but he couldn't ask and could only assume that he had received it.

Qian Ying's glances were essentially a signal for him to keep an eye on Ouyang Nan and not to touch the rope. After all, if Ouyang Nan damaged the rope after he crossed the canyon, how would he get back?
After all, there's no way to fly in the entire valley right now, so even if he were a master of innate cultivation, he'd be severely restricted. Otherwise, he would have already used his flying ability to cross the canyon.

Although he could tell that Ouyang Nan probably wouldn't dare to break the ropes, he still needed to take precautions.

However, Qian Ying was unaware that Qian Wantong did not understand his gesture; he simply nodded as if he understood.

Qian Ying turned to look at the other side of the canyon, then at the bottom of the canyon, before unleashing her innate domain, stepping onto the rope, and speeding towards the other side of the canyon.

Just as he reached the middle of the canyon, he sensed something was amiss. It was as if something was watching him from beneath the thick fog. A chill ran down his spine, and he immediately sped up, rushing towards the other side of the canyon. He cursed inwardly, thinking that Ouyang Nan and Li Mo were inhuman, trying to harm him.

A master with innate abilities has a very keen sixth sense. Once someone is staring at them with hostile eyes, they will be able to sense it. However, due to differences in strength, the sensitivity of this sense can vary.

This is also why Chen Mo doesn't stare at innate masters; even if he does, he won't show any hostility.

After all, he himself possessed extremely powerful spiritual senses and had a very clear understanding of these senses.

With the rope's help, Qian Ying crossed the canyon and reached the other side after a few attempts. She then looked back down into the canyon with lingering fear, but found nothing. It seemed that the hostile gaze she had just received was merely a stare.

After watching for a while, Qian Ying finally breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that there was no strange beast trying to attack her as she crossed the canyon; it was just watching her, and it was all a false alarm.

Just now, he was even thinking of turning around in mid-air and going back to kill Ouyang Nan and that young man named Li Mo. People who wanted to harm him couldn't be allowed to live.

However, turning in mid-air not only wastes time but is also very dangerous. If the beast were to rush out and attack, he would be in a difficult position to deal with it in the middle of the canyon. After all, he had personally witnessed the beast having wings and the ability to briefly take flight last night.

In order to temporarily avoid the enemy's attack, he had no choice but to exert his strength and rush towards the other side, and only after landing firmly on the ground could he deal with the monster's attack.

But the outcome was not what he expected.

Thinking about it, it makes sense. He came to the edge of the canyon to take a look, which was a casual suggestion, and crossing the canyon was also a random act. If he could fall for a trick from that, he would really be doomed. In addition, he also remembered that his keen senses were actually unique to him after advancing to the Innate Realm. Before that, he didn't have such keen senses.

In other words, the young man named Li Mo probably didn't realize that something was watching him from underground when he crossed the canyon, so Ouyang Nan naturally wouldn't have told him.

Haha, it's all because I'm too good at it.

After thinking it through, he withdrew his killing intent. If he had actually gone back and killed Ouyang Nan, the entire expedition team might have faced complications.

Qian Ying observed for a while, but no attack from the strange beast came, so she knew that her judgment was correct.

He darted forward and landed on a treetop about twenty meters above the canyon, looking out into the distance.

Although he and Chen Mo had not spoken, coincidentally, they were both standing on the same tree canopy, in the same spot, looking into the distance.

Coincidences happen so unexpectedly.
