Start with a red name

Chapter 107

After that, neither of them spoke again.

Fan Qi no longer stared at Lin Feiyu with an aggressive look.

The smiling mask on Lin Feiyu's face was unknowingly taken off by him, and his expression was cold and his eyes were indifferent.

The two people sitting opposite each other are clearly very close to each other, but they seem like people from two different worlds.

It was not until several strange sounds, like the howling of some strange bird at night, came from afar that Lin Feiyu suddenly stood up, with a decent smile on his face again. He nodded slightly to Fan Qi and said:
"Thank you for taking the trouble to keep a boring person like me company for so long. It's late at night now, so I won't bother you any further... Goodbye."

When he said "goodbye", he was still standing opposite Fan Qi.

When he finished speaking, he had already appeared at the door of the study.

In the next blink of an eye, he had completely disappeared.

Fan Qi, who had been sitting opposite Lin Feiyu without even moving his butt, felt like he was sitting on a stove and jumped out immediately.

He quickly slipped out of the study.

Not long after, the black-robed guard who had reported to him outside the study door and the square-faced man in gray robe who had tested Geng Xuan and others during the day stood in front of him.

Fan Qi said quickly:

"Use all your connections to find out who is cooperating with Wuyou Palace."

"Yes."

The two responded, then turned around and started to walk out.

Fan Qi suddenly shouted, "Wait... do you know how to start?"

"We will be in Kangleji..." The black-robed guard was about to reveal his plan.

But Fan Qi only heard a few words from him and then shook his head and said:

"Don't worry about what's inside Kang Le Ji, take your time, the key is outside Kang Le Ji!"

The two were a little confused.

Fan Qi explained:
"Wuyou Palace has taken away more than 80% of the various medicinal herbs produced in Chiwu Mountain's autumn hunt this year. This involves dozens of neighborhoods and more than a dozen markets.

To be able to do things so beautifully is definitely not something that the few people deployed in various places can do.

It is not even something that can be accomplished by the rebellion of the presidents of one or two pharmacies in the market.

If my guess is correct, there must be a nearby market secretly cooperating with it!
Apart from anything else, in such a short period of time, so much money and so many people had to be mobilized, and more than a dozen markets had to be precisely controlled to submit at the lowest cost.

It would be impossible to do it without a local force who is very familiar with our area to lead the way!"

When they heard this, both of them showed shock on their faces.

The square-faced man said:
"It is also possible that Wuyou Palace temporarily pulled out a large number of forces to do this."

Fan Qi shook his head:

“Although the Wuyou Palace has great power, its core strength is located thousands of miles away in Yuanjing.

Given the complex situation in Yuanjing, they did not dare to allocate too much manpower to do such things.

They might be able to temporarily dispatch some masters in the Marrow Refining Realm to come over to support, but what about the manpower in other areas?
You can't transfer all of them from Yuanjing, right?!"

Both of them nodded.

This is indeed impossible.

Not to mention that Wuyou Palace would never do such an unwise thing. If it really did so, how big would the scale be?
By that time, these people might not have arrived yet, but their intentions had already become clear to the world.

Therefore, the best way for Wuyou Palace is to find a partner and guide among the dozen or so markets around Chiwu Mountain.

This is more sudden and covert, and the results achieved will be greater.

"This is a poisonous snake, it was hiding in the dark and we didn't know it.

But now that he has taken the initiative to jump out, I believe there will be traces left behind.

What you have to do is to find this poisonous snake before it retreats back into its lair!"

The two men fully understood Fan Qi's intention and quickly took action, and couldn't help but admire the master's keenness.

It seemed that he was blocked in the study by the marrow-refining experts from Wuyou Palace. He was passive the whole time and could not do anything.

But he saw through the hidden clues that those who had more first-hand information had not discovered, and pointed out the direction for their next actions.

Instead of doing what they did in the middle of the night, running around like headless flies.

It seemed that everyone was very busy and anxious, but in fact, nothing was accomplished. They became the background board to witness the brilliant achievements of Wuyou Palace.

Before leaving, the black-robed guard talked about another thing.

"Master, what exactly is Master Wei thinking?
How could he still trade with these people when he knew they had bad intentions?!
This is only his first day as the boss, and he has already screwed us so badly.

Everyone in the pharmacy is even worried about their livelihood for the coming year!
If he continues like this, won't he sell off all of our Kangleji?"

The resentment was evident in his words.

It can be seen that he was really angry.

Master Fan has given you unprecedented development space and opportunities, and this is how you repay him?!
So disheartening!
The way Wei Wanzong, the new leader, and even the people in the neighborhood do things is so damn disappointing!
But in response to his accusations against the new governor Wei Wanzong and other people in the neighborhood, Fan Qi said with a serious face:
“They did nothing wrong in this matter.

Instead of venting your anger on them, you should ask why the entire pharmacy condoned or even tolerated Zang Zigao's unreasonable behavior!"

"Uh——" The black-robed guard was stunned. He never expected that Master Fan would have this attitude.

Fan Qi waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, don't worry about these things."

After sending away the black-robed guards, Fan Qi did not stay in the mansion.

In a blink of an eye, he had arrived at the home of the new leader Wei.

The reception hall that was bustling with people just a moment ago now only had Wei Wanzong sitting here alone, facing the angry Master Fan with a guilty conscience.

"Wei Wanzong, do you have any brains at all?!" Master Fan asked loudly.

……

That night, Kangle Market and all the surrounding neighborhoods were extremely lively.

Carriages came in and out.

In the darkness, countless pairs of eyes with various thoughts were silently watching what was happening.

And the end.

But Kangleji and the vast majority of people in the neighborhoods are unaware of all this.

Including Geng Xuan, when he woke up, it was already the early morning of October 7th.

When Geng Xuan re-entered the underground space, Da Huang and the eight little ones who followed him immediately ran to Geng Xuan's side with laughter.

As the villi on the body of the plant grow again, although it has not yet covered its entire body, it looks much better than when it just shed its skin.

The changes in the other eight small ones are equally huge.

There is no trace of newborn puppies on them anymore, their heads, bodies and limbs have grown a lot.

Geng Xuan picked up the eight little ones in his hands and weighed them. Compared to the weight of about four kilograms when they were just born, they are now about twice as large, and the weight of each one has grown to about eight kilograms.

At the same time, Geng Xuan also felt the emotions they conveyed.

hunger.

Last night, they had eaten all the meat that Geng Xuan had brought back.

This was the fourth time Geng Xuan had gone to claim meat using similar excuses, and each time he got more meat than the last.

After receiving it last time, Geng Xuan had already made up his mind that this could not be done again.

The uncle who led the logistics department looked at him with increasingly strange eyes the last two times.

"Are you hungry?" Geng Xuan asked.

"Woo woo~" Dahuang.

"Woof woof~" Eight little ones.

"Come on, I'll take you to the cafeteria."

As he spoke, Geng Xuan put the weapons on his back, tied them around his waist, put them in his arms, and finally took the seven carts with him and walked into the underground passage first.

Dahuang and Baxiao followed closely behind him.

Not long after, Geng Xuan once again entered the tunnel leading to the depths of Chiwu Mountain.

He was pushing the cart and running in the front, with Dahuang and Baxiao following closely behind him.

Although he had deliberately slowed down, Da Huang and Ba Xiao were not slow at all. After running about 15 kilometers in one breath, Ba Xiao's endurance gradually ran out and his speed slowly slowed down.

In order not to waste time, Geng Xuan put them directly into the cart, and the speed increased instead of decreasing.

After running forward for about twenty kilometers, Dahuang finally showed obvious signs of decline.

Soon, Dahuang and Baxiao also got into the cart.

Geng Xuan's speed was further improved.

His current speed was already as fast as a phantom, but Geng Xuan could clearly feel that compared with the improvements before and after his breakthrough to the Marrow Refining Realm, the increase in speed was the smallest compared to the improvements in other aspects, such as strength, endurance, attack power, etc.

Not counting short-distance maneuvers, just long-distance running, when he fully utilizes all kinds of light-body techniques and his physical potential, when he is in the Bone Refining Realm, he can run fifty kilometers in an hour, which is equivalent to running a hundred meters in seven seconds.

If it is a mountainous area with dense forests or rugged terrain, the speed will be even lower.

Now, when running long distances, Geng Xuan found that he could only reach a speed of about sixteen meters per second at most, and could travel about sixty kilometers per hour.

Compared to the Bone Refining Stage, the difference is not that big.

The most obvious change was his greater endurance, which allowed him to travel without any rest. In less than two hours, he had reached the depths of Chiwu Mountain, more than 100 kilometers away from Changpingfang. This was also the last area where the hunting team lingered during the previous autumn hunt.

The reason why they ran so far was that during the non-autumn hunting period, no hunting team acting alone, whether in Changpingfang or other neighborhoods, would venture deep into this place.

Geng Xuan parked the cart at the entrance or exit of the tunnel. Before the cart stopped, Da Huang and Ba Xiao jumped out of the tunnel.

Then Geng Xuan heard Da Huang's high-pitched voice of "Woof woof woof".

Soon, the eight children also joined the "chorus".

Geng Xuan smiled when he heard this.

Dahuang stayed underground for nearly a month, and although Baxiaodai stayed underground for a shorter time, they have been underground since they were born.

Perhaps, the idea that "the world is just a cramped underground space" has already been imprinted in their minds. Now that they are entering the natural and pristine forest for the first time, how can they not be excited?

However, their celebration was short-lived.

Soon, with a low growl from Big Yellow, all the puppies stopped growling.

Dahuang led the eight little ones to run in the deep grass and bushes that completely submerged them. Suddenly, Dahuang jumped into the grass nearby, and the next moment, it emerged from the deep grass dragging a huge wild deer.

It bit the wild deer's neck. The deer, which was not yet dead, was still struggling. The eight children were stunned for a moment at first, and then they all rushed forward.

They all pounced on the wild deer, their dense teeth piercing deeply into the deer's body, their heads shaking left and right frantically, and from time to time they uttered ferocious, predator-like growls.

Soon, the wild deer became a dead deer.

Baxiao, who was already starving, wanted to start eating right away, but was stopped by Dahuang's growl. He turned his head and looked at Geng Xuan.

Geng Xuan nodded and said, "Eat, and then get back to work... We'll be doing strenuous exercise later, so remember not to eat too much."

Geng Xuan gave a careful reminder at the end.

After that, Geng Xuan found that he only needed to be a bystander.

Da Huang brought the remaining half of the venison to Geng Xuan, and then led the eight children into the deep grass again.

Then, they would bring out various harvests from time to time as if they were entering their own animal pen.

It’s okay for Dahuang, as the prey is always larger, and he simply doesn’t bother to attack those that are smaller.

The eight little ones were different. They didn't know how to choose, so apart from bringing back some prey like rabbits and mice, they would occasionally bring birds and large insects to him to seek credit.

The most outrageous time was when they may have found a snake's nest. Eight children came back at the same time, each holding a snake in their mouth, and the snake's body was still wrapping around them desperately.

What makes Geng Xuan even more worried is that this is a nest of poisonous snakes.

After confirming that they had no signs of poisoning, he felt relieved. Watching them leave the eight half-dead snakes behind and walk away, Geng Xuan thought, perhaps this is their talent.

A hunting talent that is almost born from the womb.

They also have a keen intuition about danger and know how to seek advantages and avoid harm and protect themselves in battle without being taught.

Geng Xuan threw away the snake skin and the snake meat into the cart. He then carefully extracted the snake venom and put it into the wooden bottle that was originally used to hold the poison.

When it was noon, Geng Xuan found that the cart was almost full.

Geng Xuan blew a whistle, and Dahuang and Baxiao, who had been hiding somewhere unknown a moment ago, came out of the thick grass and gathered around Geng Xuan again.

Each one of them was so excited that their tails were wagging, leaving afterimages.

Obviously, today's hunting was more like a trip to the playground for them.

It's a joy from the inside out.

"Okay, that's all for today. We should go back."

Although Da Huang and Ba Xiao showed regretful and lost expressions on their faces, they still jumped back onto the cart in an orderly manner.

More than two hours later, Geng Xuan had returned to Changpingfang and returned to the ground.

Before coming up, he had given most of the prey to Luo Qing, Ding Yong and others, and he only kept the most essential two or three hundred kilograms and took them back to the underground space.

Soon after coming to the ground, Geng Xuan noticed that the atmosphere in the town was different.

His house was far away from the gate of Changpingfang and was in a relatively remote location, but he could already hear noisy noises coming from the direction of the gate of Changpingfang from afar.

Then he saw people running in and out of various places in the alley.

Then every household was alarmed, even those lonely elderly people who usually never went out of the house came out one by one and joined the crowd running back and forth.

Zeng Rou, who was standing opposite, had obviously heard the noise. She carried Chen Xiaoyu out of the house, stood in the yard, and looked into the distance, while curiously asking Geng Xuan:

"Xuan brother, do you know what happened?"

Geng Xuan shook his head and said, "Aunt, I just discovered it too."

But soon, both of them knew the reason.

However, there were a few young guys running towards them, saying excitedly:

"Hurry up, take your money bags with you and go to the gate to get the money... go get the money..."

Having said that, without giving Geng Xuan and Zeng Rou a chance to ask further questions, they ran away again, bringing the good news to other families.

Geng Xuan looked at Zeng Rou and found that she was also looking at him.

Soon, both of them were laughing.

They already knew what had caused the entire Changpingfang to become so "active" all of a sudden.

The two men immediately turned back to the house, carrying a purse and walking quickly towards the gate of Changpingfang.

Seeing that Zeng Rou was having a hard time carrying Chen Xiaoyu, Geng Xuan took the initiative to carry Chen Xiaoyu over and let her sit on his shoulders.

When they arrived at the gate of Changpingfang, they found that it was already crowded with people.

Geng Xuan took a quick glance and knew that there were at least a thousand people.

Moreover, more and more people are gathering here.

Today, more than 2,000 people in Changpingfang, as long as they are able to move, will probably rush over to share in the festive atmosphere.

These people lived in tightly packed groups as family units.

And in every family, there is at least one person carrying a bag.

For those families where multiple people participated in the autumn hunting, all participants held a bag in their hands.

Everyone was chatting excitedly with each other, discussing how much money they could put in the bags they were holding today.

Looking around, Geng Xuan had never seen such lively, hopeful and festive laughter on the faces of the people in Changpingfang.

Their eyes were all bright, and the joy seemed to be unable to help but jump out of their eye sockets, joining in the warm atmosphere.

On weekdays, Geng Xuan saw more wooden expressions and eyes that were almost lifeless and dull.

Geng Xuan thought that this should be the most lively time of the year in Changpingfang.

Geng Xuan saw many familiar figures, including Chen Rongshan, Liao Lei and others, all of whom were loudly maintaining order there.

Because Chen Xiaoyu was sitting on Geng Xuan's shoulders, Chen Rongshan quickly spotted them, parted the crowd and walked towards them, then led them into the room next door where Chai Ye and others usually had morning tea.

Compared to the crowded outside, the environment here is obviously much better.

Those waiting outside did not show any dissatisfaction with this special treatment.

This is what they deserve.

After all, the hunting team is the foundation of the autumn hunt. Without the hunting team members pioneering in the front, all the gains will be in vain.

When Chen Rongshan led Geng Xuan in, he saw a member of the hunting team putting a pile of silver bars into the cloth bag in his hand, making a crisp "rustling" sound.
