Fairy, shut up! I'm really not blondie.

Some middle-aged men who looked quite prestigious sat at the table, waiting for news from others.

They were wearing various different uniforms, clearly indicating that they came from different sects.

When the person who was gathering information pushed open the door and entered, all eyes fell on him.

"Elders, I am..."

The scout felt a jolt in his heart and wanted to introduce himself.

"Enough with the idle chatter, tell me what they're actually doing!"

"Is there any preparation? Are there any ambushes in the shadows?"

A middle-aged man who seemed rather impatient asked hastily.

This is no longer a matter of resources; it's a matter of face.

If Dayan secretly plotted to take it all for themselves, wouldn't they look incredibly foolish?

By then, relations between the two sides will definitely deteriorate rapidly!

The scout dared not conceal anything and hurriedly recounted what he had seen and heard.

After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.

"You mean they didn't do anything, they just camped?"

"Don't you find this absurd thing wrong?"

The hot-tempered elder was so angry that he laughed.

This sounds outrageous; they must be plotting something in secret!

"We split up and each monitored their movements."

"The boy did nothing but lie down on the rock and sunbathe."

"While the other women were chopping wood, fishing, or carrying bows and arrows..."

"There's nothing wrong with what they're doing; they're just camping."

The scout answered reluctantly.

It does sound unbelievable, and it looks extremely absurd.

Camping in a place like this, isn't that completely disregarding them?

Moreover, why should that boy receive such high-level treatment?

"Where's Donghuangming? Is she inside?"

Another elder with a calm expression asked.

"We did indeed find traces of her..."

The scout was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"Ha, I knew it! Her presence there must be some kind of conspiracy!"

"I suggest we go over there together and find out what they're up to!"

The hot-tempered elder interrupted him directly.

"Elder, Donghuang Ming only stayed there for a short while."

"She left not long after, and we watched her leave."

The scout hurriedly finished speaking before he could finish.

Upon hearing this, the elder's face turned bright red, as if he had choked on his words.

The crowd remained silent, only staring at him with strange expressions.

In fact, they knew very well why this elder had become the way he was.

Wasn't it because of his bad temper that he got a severe scolding?

Feeling somewhat humiliated, he tried every possible way to get revenge whenever he had the chance.

Retaliation is fine, but you should at least understand the situation clearly, right?

The room fell into a brief silence.

"To sum it up, he was traveling around with a group of women?"

"It was said by an elder who looked quite old."

Everyone looked at each other and nodded.

"If it's just for fun, we don't need to be too wary."

"But the question is, how can we determine their attitude?"

"Why choose this place of all places? There are so many other places to visit."

The elder who had just been interrupted seemed to have calmed down and was analyzing the situation seriously.

"There's actually a reason for that; they might just have chosen a place that was nearby."

"But we have to be careful about this kind of thing, and we still need to negotiate with them."

An elder said in a very serious tone.

After the suggestion was made, everyone nodded in agreement.

It's not that you can't travel and enjoy nature, but you at least have to choose the right place!

Next, they need to test their attitude.

In the dense forest.

Su Qing lay peacefully on a rock, listening to the cheerful laughter around her.

Actually, he originally wanted to do something, but it was all taken care of by others.

For them, camping was an incredibly novel experience; they had never done it before.

So it's perfectly normal for them to want to get involved in things like hunting and fishing.

He could only say that he simply couldn't compete with them.

"Master, someone is coming!"

Ruolian, who was fishing by the stream, suddenly looked up and said.

"Someone's coming and you're still fishing? Put down your fishing rod right now!"

Su Qing was speechless.

"I have a feeling the fish will be served soon... These people are really awful!"

Ruolian could only sullenly reel in her line and say something.

Su Qing glanced at the fish basket at the little girl's feet but didn't say anything.

That sounds plausible, but you haven't caught a single fish...

If someone comes to bother you, it's probably to help you out of a difficult situation.

Otherwise, it would be so embarrassing if we couldn't catch a single fish by mealtime!

There weren't many people; only three people came.

The leader was a middle-aged man who looked somewhat well-off, with a smile on his face.

No matter how you look at it, he seems like a very approachable person.

The remaining two men had stern expressions and surveyed their surroundings.

Just as the scouts said, they were actually setting up camp to cook!

The tents are already set up, so they're clearly prepared to stay here for a few days.

But don't those two people look familiar?

The three of them couldn't help but look at Qingyi and Yu Qingxuan.

Qingyi curled her lip, too lazy to pay attention to these elders from other sects.

Since the Immortal Sect didn't send anyone to cause trouble, they entrusted all the tasks to her.

Yu Qingxuan coldly surveyed these people, one hand resting on her longsword.

Clearly, if these people acted strangely, she would take immediate action.

The others watched silently, all stopping what they were doing.

The smile on the face of the fat elder at the head of the group became somewhat stiff.

No, what's wrong with you, little girl? Don't you know that you shouldn't hit someone who's smiling at you?

They've only just arrived, there's no need for such hostility, is there?

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

Su Qing stood up and stretched, then said.

"You must be Young Master Su. I am Li Su. I have long admired your name."

Li Su smiled and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

The remaining two nodded, but made no attempt to introduce themselves.

The three were dressed in the clothes of different sects, clearly indicating that they came from different places.

"Let's get down to business. Can't you see we're busy? You're not thinking of coming over for a free meal, are you?"

Su Qing waved his hand and said.

Although it's said that you shouldn't hit someone who's smiling at you, this person came over looking for trouble.

Being able to communicate with them is already a pretty good attitude.

Do we have to invite them to sit down and engage in a round of pleasantries and emotional exchanges?

He really couldn't do something like that.

"Young Master Su speaks frankly, so I'll be frank with my words."

"Do you know what makes this place special? This is the place where the Great Luo Cave Heaven was opened."

Li Su's smile faded slightly as he spoke.

Since they were being so disrespectful, he didn't want to say anything more.

"Yes, I know. Is there a problem?"

Su Qing looked puzzled.

"...What brings you here, sir?"

Li Su's lips twitched slightly as he asked.

To be honest, the boy's performance was somewhat unexpected.

Even if you don't treat yourself with the utmost respect, you should at least be polite to yourself, right?

The way you're acting, it feels like you're not even bothering to be perfunctory.

Su Qing didn't say anything, but just glanced back.

Behind him, various things were arranged in a pleasing, haphazard way.

Tents lined up side by side, a tall horse grazing peacefully, and a barbecue grill set up.

Wisps of smoke rising from the chimneys, fishing rods on the riverbank, and two wild game pieces just caught.

Is there any need to ask anything more about something so obvious?

Isn't that just asking a question you already know the answer to? Do you really have nothing left to talk about?

There was a brief silence.

Li Su and his two companions felt somewhat annoyed as they were being stared at by the crowd.

Within their respective sects, they were all elders.

Although they are not exactly outstanding among their peers.
