The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 3100 A Woman with a Great Vision

A resentful team leader, especially one leading a team in the dark, could cause even a small problem to have huge consequences.

That's why Qian Wantong hesitated; after all, no one would want to explore the path in the dark beforehand.

Besides, exploring in the dark would be much more dangerous, and as the leader of the small expedition team, Ouyang Nan would absolutely not want to lead the team on such an expedition.

Before Qian Ying could say anything more, she saw Qian Wantong's expression and instantly understood that Ouyang Nan might have objections. So she patted her head and said, "Time is of the essence now, and we can't take care of everyone. Here's what we'll do: when you find Ouyang Nan, tell her that a powerful enemy is attacking, and everyone, including her, is in danger. We must retreat to the building behind the mountain gate to take shelter, so she has to go ahead and explore. As for Elder Zhou and me, we need to go see if those strange beasts will attack, so we don't have time to find anyone else to replace the exploration team."

Upon hearing this, Qian Wantong immediately nodded in agreement and turned to go find Ouyang Nan, but Qian Ying stopped him again and said, "After Ouyang Nan sets off, you must immediately have all the teams follow. Don't waste time and avoid danger."

"Yes!" Qian Wantong nodded in agreement and then turned to get to work.

Qian Ying turned to Zhou Zixing and said, "Elder Zhou, let's go and investigate to see if those strange beasts will attack."

“Okay.” Zhou Zixing nodded and quickly headed back the way they came with Qian Ying.

Seeing the two Innate Realm experts heading towards the lake, the many martial artists felt much more at ease. Since the two Innate Realm experts had gone to scout ahead, they were at least safe for the time being.

After finding Ouyang Nan, Qian Wantong immediately relayed Qian Ying's order: "Ouyang Nan, please be understanding. After all, the situation is quite critical, and there is no way to find someone else to replace your advance reconnaissance team."

Ouyang Nan frowned, feeling somewhat reluctant, but considering the urgency of the situation, he didn't refuse too much. Instead, he nodded and said, "Alright, then we'll go along with Elder Qian's plan. However, since it's nighttime, if we encounter any danger that we don't discover, the rest of you can't blame us."

“Don’t worry, we all understand that no one can guarantee they can detect all dangers in the dark. Especially in this valley, no one can guarantee how danger will come,” Qian Wantong said.

Ouyang Nan said nothing more, turned around to find the others, gathered the other four people together, and then began to prepare to move on.

"Elder Qian wants us to continue as an exploration team. Do you have any questions?" Although Ouyang Nan was speaking to the four people, her eyes were fixed on Qian Zhenghao.

Chen Mo, Ouyang Ruoxi, and Ouyang Nana are all easy to talk to, but Qian Zhenghao is an uncontrollable factor in the team.

Qian Zhenghao understood what Ouyang Nan meant and immediately said, "Captain Ouyang Nan, don't worry. I understand the situation, so there's no problem."

"And you?" Ouyang Nan asked Chen Mo and the other two after hearing this.

Chen Mo and the other two didn't say anything, but nodded to indicate that there was no problem.

“Okay, follow me!” Ouyang Nan slung his backpack over his shoulder and led the way.

Chen Mo pulled Ouyang Ruoxi along and followed immediately. He still had something to say to Ouyang Nan, so he stayed behind her. Ouyang Nana also followed with her backpack, while Qian Zhenghao lagged behind. However, this suited Qian Zhenghao's wishes perfectly. He had spoken very decisively, but in his mind, he was churning out a torrent of complaints. Some were complaints about Qian Ying, some about Qian Wantong, and some about Ouyang Nan.

Unfortunately, among the group, he was the weakest and couldn't possibly stand up and say no at this time. He also had to act like he knew the bigger picture and had a strong sense of the overall situation. It was truly heartbreaking.

Nighttime reconnaissance is practically suicidal; a single misjudgment or carelessness could lead to danger. Even if he were a martial artist at the eighth level of the Acquired Realm, the sheer number of dangers in this valley could easily kill him.

So, there's a "MMP" I'm not sure if I should say!

Fortunately, Ouyang Nan was able to lead the team forward, while he followed at the back. If there was any danger, at least four fools would be in front to hold the line. He was the fifth, which made him slightly satisfied. The spirit of Ah Q always existed, and he could comfort himself at all times.

Seeing Ouyang Nan's straightforwardness and lack of hesitation, Qian Wantong held her in higher regard, surprised by her magnanimity. He couldn't help but wonder if he would stop targeting Ouyang Nan later.
But then he realized that he wasn't targeting Ouyang Nan in the first place, but rather that guy named Li Mo. However, this young man named Li Mo was from the same family as Ouyang Nan, and the two were exceptionally close.

Furthermore, Qian Wantong also learned that this young man named Li Mo seemed to be Ouyang Nan's nephew-in-law. Although this information has not yet been confirmed, the fact that someone from another family could integrate into the Ouyang family must mean there was a connection.

Therefore, if we want Li Mo, this young man, to die, we also need to deal with Ouyang Nan.

Sigh, I didn't want to take action against her, but there was nothing I could do. So if I really have the chance to trick someone later, I will definitely not let Ouyang Nan suffer too much, and I will make sure she leaves as quickly as possible. This is my way of repaying her for her magnanimity today.

Thinking this to himself, Qian Wantong felt that he was a really good person, not only with a broad perspective but also able to take care of all aspects.

Sigh, I'm just soft-hearted. There's nothing I can do about it. We're all made of flesh and blood. This is also a farewell and a tribute to a woman of such character as Ouyang Nan.

Immediately afterwards, notify all the family teams and have them form teams according to their families, ready to set off at any time.

The physical security measures previously set up around the area were quickly retrieved and put away. After all, even empty bottles are rare items in the valley, and each one should be used wisely.

Elders Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing went to investigate, but no signal has been received yet, so there should still be some time. It's essential to regroup the team. In particular, all the powerful experts at the tenth level of the Acquired Realm should be gathered together and follow Ouyang Nan's investigation team.

In this way, if Ouyang Nan and the others encounter danger, the martial artists at the tenth level of the Acquired Realm can provide timely assistance.

The situation is different now; the entire team needs to cooperate well to evacuate safely.

The martial artists at the tenth level of the Acquired Realm include Han Chengwen from the Han family, Ma Xianglong and another martial artist at the tenth level of the Acquired Realm from the Ma family, Ma Xianghai, two martial artists at the tenth level of the Acquired Realm from the Qian family, and Zhou Ke and Zhou Mei from the Zhou family.

Since the Ouyang family no longer has any martial artists at the tenth level of the Acquired Realm, and although Ouyang Nan has resigned from his position as the family leader, he still retains the surname Ouyang, no other members of the Ouyang family were arranged to join the team.
