The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 3285 It turns out he was an undercover agent.

After bidding farewell to Qian Ying, Ouyang Nan and Qian Wantong turned and walked out of the main hall.

After stepping out, he saw Ouyang Jun still standing not far from the entrance of the main hall, looking towards the hall. When he saw Ouyang Nan come out, he immediately walked over and said, "Elder Ouyang."

Ouyang Nan nodded, then said to Qian Wantong, "Manager Qian, I have some things to attend to here, you..."

Qian Wantong glanced at Ouyang Jun with a somewhat enigmatic look in his eyes, then turned to Ouyang Nan with a slight smile: "Captain Ouyang Nan, I have some matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

“Okay, Manager Qian, you can go ahead and get busy.” Ouyang Nan nodded to Qian Wantong.

After watching Qian Wantong walk away, Ouyang Nan turned her gaze to Ouyang Jun.

"Speak, what do you want from me?" Ouyang Nan said coldly and indifferently.

“Elder Ouyang, on behalf of the family’s expedition team, I would like to request that you return to lead the team again as the team leader,” Ouyang Jun said respectfully.

"You represent?" Ouyang Nan looked at Ouyang Jun with a curious expression.

"Yes, everyone wants the elder to come back and lead the team."

"why?"

"For..." Ouyang Jun didn't know what to say for a moment. After all, since Ouyang Nan stepped down as captain, the entire family team had gradually started to shrink, and even last night he was used as a human shield by the Qian family elder.
But can these words be told to Ouyang Nan?
Tell me, why?

"Elder, we are all afraid of death. We are too weak in this space, so we want you to come back and lead the team to get through this crisis, find a way out, and leave this place." Ouyang Jun spoke slower and slower, but he still finished speaking.

Ouyang Nan chuckled inwardly. It was pretty much as she'd guessed; they wanted her back to protect them. This group of people certainly had a bright future. They discarded her like trash when they didn't need her, but begged her to come back when they did.

"I'm sorry, but as I said before, it's impossible for me to go back to be the captain. Here, you can't rely on anyone but yourself."

"Elder, are you really going to watch all the disciples of the family die here?" Ouyang Jun's face flushed red when he heard that Ouyang Nan didn't want to go back to be the team leader, and he questioned him.

"It's not a matter of whether I look or not. Given my strength, I'm barely making ends meet in the current environment. Let alone going back to protect you. You overestimate me."

"Elder, as long as you lead us and we all work together, can't we overcome this danger? Other families also have elders at the tenth level of the Acquired Realm as leaders, and they take good care of their family warriors just the same. As long as we all work together, we can overcome this crisis, right?"

"Sorry, no!"

"Why not? Does the elder really just want to watch the family's warriors die? Are you that heartless?"

“Ouyang Jun, when I stepped down from my position as the family leader, I already said that I would not go back.”

"Elder, in such a critical moment, can't you put aside your past grievances?"

"It's not that I can't let go, but I also have my own tasks. You still have to rely on yourselves."

"What mission?"

“Elder Qian and I have just discussed it. Li Mo and I will be the vanguard of the expedition team, setting off first to scout out dangers ahead for the main force. So, I cannot agree to your request.” Upon hearing this, Ouyang Jun was momentarily speechless.

Why? Why is this happening? Are they all just waiting to die in this strange barrier?
No, this shouldn't be the case!

"Alright, it's better to rely on ourselves than on others. We should find a way to unite and fight off the alien beasts together. That's the only way to deal with the crisis." Ouyang Nan sighed and walked towards the Ouyang family's group.

Actually, for a moment just now, Ouyang Nan almost agreed, since these people were all members of the Ouyang family.

However, recalling their previous attitudes and the words spoken by the people in the group when Ouyang Min was present, he ultimately hardened his heart and refused to agree to Ouyang Jun's explanation.

After all, people have to be responsible for their actions and words, otherwise they'll regret it.

When Ouyang Jun saw Ouyang Nan walk to the front of the Ouyang family's procession, his previously dazed eyes immediately lit up. Could it be that Elder Ouyang had agreed?

With a slight change in his mind, he quickly stepped forward and followed.

However, to everyone's surprise, Ouyang Nan walked up to the family warriors, ignored the others, and called out to Ouyang Bei, "Abei, come here."

"Elder!" Ouyang Bei greeted Ouyang Nan respectfully as she called him. However, he had some questions in his mind: what did she want with him?
Ouyang Nan had always kept him hidden within the team, only letting him secretly approach Ouyang Nan if something happened. Why was he being called over now? Could it be…?

“Abei, I just accepted Elder Qian Ying’s mission to lead the team as the vanguard, to go ahead and scout out the dangers ahead. Four people are not enough, we need one more, so I thought of you.” Ouyang Nan said, “Pack your things, take your belongings and come with me immediately.”

Immediately, all the martial artists who heard this were somewhat surprised.

Being the vanguard terrified the other martial artists; it was practically sending them to their deaths ahead of time. But why seek out Ouyang Bei?

Ouyang Bei is only a martial artist at the eighth level of the Acquired Realm, and his strength is relatively low, but why was he chosen by Ouyang Nan at this moment?
Looking at Ouyang Nan and then at Ouyang Bei, and observing their expressions, Ouyang Jun gradually realized that Ouyang Bei was Ouyang Nan's man. Calling Ouyang Bei over to team up now was actually because there was no need for him to stay in the team anymore, which was why he was called over.

The vanguard team may seem to be in danger, but with a highly skilled young man named Li Mo and Elder Ouyang Nan in the team, it is safer than the main force.

It's at least safer than being in the current Ouyang family group.

Ouyang Jun felt a pang of bitterness in his heart: "Ouyang Bei, so you betrayed the Grand Elder!"

They were all from the Grand Elder's faction, and only now did they realize that Ouyang Bei was from the family patriarch's side, which filled them with bitterness.

Ouyang Bei didn't care about that. He quickly went back, put on his backpack, and went to Ouyang Nan's side.

"Hurry up and catch up, we'll be setting off after that." Ouyang Nan led the way towards the mountain path, with Ouyang Bei following behind.

The other martial artists from the Ouyang family stared at the two figures as they walked away, speechless for a moment.

Qian Wantong, not far away on the other side, was also watching Ouyang Nan's back, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Hopefully, as they lead the charge, they'll be surrounded and killed by the shadowy figures!
He had always hoped that Chen Mo would die a terrible death, and he had always wanted to see such a scene with his own eyes, but so far he had not seen it. You can imagine the disappointment in his heart.
