Chapitre 37: One Cannot Reveal the Secrets of the Heavens
Éditeur: Atlas Studios
After hearing this, everyone quickly summoned the flying spirit beasts that they had recently contracted. Their young lady usually didn't allow them to use them. In the words of their young lady, it was to train their endurance.
Feng Moran summoned the flying spirit beast that he had never had the opportunity to use and was ready and waiting for Xue'er to issue the order.
Mu Li also has his own flying spirit beast, but only Ye Chen did not have one. However, he did not need to be invited by others, nor was he embarrassed. Instead, he sat directly on Quill's back with his arms wrapped around Leng Ruoxue's waist casually.
"Xue'er, you have to protect me. I'm afraid of heights." Ye Chen's face looked terrified. It was obvious that he wanted to take advantage of her.
Leng Ruoxue could do nothing about his cheekiness. She rolled her eyes at him and didn't bother to care about him. She waved her hand to signal everyone to go.
It only took a few hours before they reached the vicinity of the purple pearl fruit. Leng Ruoxue sat on Quill's back and flew around. Seeing that the place closest to the fruit was already full of people, she chose a place not too far away from it as their temporary camp. Everyone seemed to be waiting for the purple pearl fruit to mature. After everyone landed, they quickly set up a camp, lit a fire, and prepared to cook.
"Miss, in addition to the Anaconda Mercenary Group, the Hurricane Mercenary Group and the Universal Mercenary Group are also here. Among the Five Great Families, only the Xu family is here. In addition, there are several teams sent by some small and medium-sized mercenary groups and families. As for the guardian holy beast, I heard it's a level nine king kong great ape." Lin Yuan, whom Leng Ruoxue had sent to scout for news, reported when he returned.
"King kong great ape?" Leng Ruoxue pondered.
"Xue'er, a king kong great ape isn't easy to deal with. They're very rare spirit beasts with both offensive and defensive capabilities. They have extraordinary strength and combat power," Ye Chen said from the side.
Leng Ruoxue nodded. She also knew that a king kong great ape would be difficult to deal with, but she was not too worried because she had Charm with her.
"Beloved Master, how could you forget Darling? Leave that silly orangutan to your Darling." Darling jumped into Leng Ruoxue's arms and acted coquettishly.
"You can beat it?" Leng Ruoxue looked up and down at the small and cute Darling. With his small arms and legs, wouldn't that giant ape slap him flat before he could do anything?
"Master, fighting is a barbaric behavior. How can I, your Darling, do something so crude?" Darling said in contempt. He was a gentlemanly fox who didn't like fighting.
"What method do you have then?" Leng Ruoxue asked curiously.
"One cannot reveal the secrets of the heavens," Darling said proudly.
This little thing actually left her hanging. Leng Ruoxue rubbed Darling's fluffy little head. "You don't get any share of dinner tonight."
"Beloved Master, how can you bear to let your dearest Darling go hungry?" Darling wailed pitifully. His silver eyes complained with tears in them yet looked at Ye Chen triumphantly, full of provocation.
Ye Chen looked at the little purple fox lying in Leng Ruoxue's arms, acting coquettishly and provoking him. He only found him an eyesore. If Xue'er weren't here, he would have thrown out this stinky, coquettish fox. How dare he compete with me.
Leng Ruoxue felt a headache watching the silent sparks fly between the human and the fox.
Charm jumped onto Leng Ruoxue's shoulder and said softly, "Master, food is ready."
"Charm is still the most well-behaved." Leng Ruoxue deliberately ran her hand through Charm's beautiful and white fluffy fur.
"Xue'er, I'm very well-behaved too!"
"Beloved Master, your Darling is also very well-behaved!"
The human and fox spoke in unison while shooting their jealous eyes at Charm, achieving a tacit understanding to cooperate.
"Hurry up and eat. Then rest early after dinner," Leng Ruoxue said.
"Okay."
The next morning, Leng Ruoxue got out of her tent and saw only Feng Moran, Ye Chen, and Mu Li.
"Feng Da and the others went out so early?" Leng Ruoxue asked curiously. It isn't time for breakfast yet, right? Or did I get up late?
"They said they had something to do and would be back later," Ye Chen explained. It was so early in the morning, and yet they were sneaking around. Who knew what they were doing.
"Miss, we are back," Feng Da said, a little embarrassed.
"You… Were you robbed?" Feng Moran's eyes widened in disbelief. Every one of them was in tattered clothing and had bloodstains on their bodies. Their cheeks were swollen blue and purple, as though they had just been beaten.
"Very good." Leng Ruoxue glanced at their condition. Big Brother Feng only saw their appearance, but she noticed that their current strength was the same as before they advanced. The badges she gave them had the function of hiding their true strength, and they seemed to have used it. While she didn't care about the Xu family and the Anaconda Mercenary Group, she understood and accepted their intentions for doing this.
Ye Chen and Mu Li just glanced at them and didn't say anything.
…
"Young Master! Young Master! I almost couldn't see you anymore!" Covered in blood, Feng Da ignored the strange gazes of everyone present, threw himself at the young man's side, and wept bitterly. The dozen or so people behind him were all in bad shape as well.
"You are Feng Da? What happened to you?" The young man was puzzled. Feng Da and his team might not be the very best in their mercenary group, but they were definitely among the best. How could they be in such a miserable state?
"Young Master, we encountered two earth pythons, both of which were holy beasts. So we…" Feng Da hesitated and stopped speaking.
"Earth pythons? What about Lin'er and my third brother? Where are they?" a middle-aged man rushed out of the crowd and asked anxiously.
"Second Young Lady and Third Master were killed by the earth pythons," Feng Da said with a sad expression.
"Dead? What about the corpses?" The middle-aged man didn't believe Feng Da. His third brother was a Spiritual Sovereign. Even if he encountered a holy beast-level earth python, he possessed enough strength to fend it off. Moreover, there were these mercenaries to help. How could he possibly die so easily?
"They were eaten by the earth pythons," Feng Da lied without so much as a fluster.
"Nonsense. If my third brother, who is a Spiritual Sovereign, was eaten by the earth pythons, then how could you still be alive?" the middle-aged man said furiously. He did not care about Xu Lin'er's life or death, but his third brother… was his blood younger brother.
Chapitre 38: Why Didn't You Save the Members of Our Xu Family First

"We were saved by others. How could we be alive otherwise?" Feng Da explained.
"What about the people who saved you?" the middle-aged man asked angrily.
"They left after saving us."
"Then why didn't they save my third brother first but instead saved you?" The middle-aged man was furious.
"Elder Xu, we might be mercenaries with low status and not of noble birth like Third Master and Second Young Lady, but we are also raised by our parents. Please don't insult our dignity. Moreover, can we decide who our benefactor wants to save?" Feng Da said righteously.
Feng Da's words resonated with the mercenaries present. Elder Xu's words despising the lives of mercenaries had already made them a little unhappy, but now Feng Da's words had completely aroused their dissatisfaction.
"That's right. Are the lives of your Xu family precious while the lives of us mercenaries worthless?" someone said in the crowd.
"That's right. The Xu family is too much. Isn't this bullying?" someone else said.
"Young Master Zhang Jian, your mercenary group didn't do a good job of protection. You must give our Xu family an explanation for this matter!" The middle-aged man's angry face turned livid after everyone accused him. So he simply turned his spear toward the young master of the Anaconda Mercenary Group and demanded an explanation.
"This…" Zhang Jian frowned and glared at Feng Da fiercely. How dare they cause trouble for the mercenary group. He turned his gaze toward the young masters of the Hurricane Mercenary Group and Universal Mercenary Group, Ju Ri and Cang Ran, hoping they could help him. However, they refused to look at him. He was so pissed off!
"Elder Xu, this incident is indeed a mistake of our Anaconda Mercenary Group. In order to make up for the bereavement of Elder Xu, we are willing to hand them over to you to be at your disposal," Zhang Jian steeled himself and said. Feng Da's team was indeed one of the main forces of the mercenary group, but they could not offend the Xu family. If a few people did not die, it would be difficult to dispel the Xu family's hatred. Therefore, he had to sacrifice them in hopes that the Xu family would see his sincerity and not pursue the matter further.
"Young Master Zhang, you are a sensible person. The patriarch will see your sincerity," Elder Xu said with admiration. The Xu family had always had a close cooperative relationship with the Anaconda Mercenary Group. Therefore, he was very clear that the patriarch would not destroy the group just for his brother and the seemingly favored Lin'er. After all, there were many things that the Xu family found inconvenient to come forward for personally, so they still needed the help of the Anaconda Mercenary Group. However, since the people were dead, it was impossible not to pursue the matter at all. The Xu family's face still had to be retrieved.
"Young Master, you can't give up on us!" Feng Da said with grief.
"Young Master!"
"No need to shout. I'm expelling you from the Anaconda Mercenary Group. From now on, you are no longer a part of us," Zhang Jian said sternly.
"Go down and accompany my brother!" Elder Xu said with a grim face. He raised the saber in his hand, gathered his spiritual power on the blade, and slashed at them.
Ding! A stream of spiritual power knocked Elder Xu's sword to the ground.
"Who is it? Come out!" Elder Xu roared in anger.
"How can the people I saved be killed at will?!" Leng Ruoxue's group of four walked out from the crowd.
As soon as they appeared, their extraordinary elegance immediately stunned the crowd, making the people reluctant to look away.
"You were the ones who saved them?" Elder Xu came to his senses and asked while gritting his teeth. Among the four of them, there was an advanced Spiritual Sovereign and an advanced Spiritual Monarch, but he could not discern the strength of the beautiful girl and the freakishly good-looking man in black.
"Yes, we saved them," Leng Ruoxue said coldly.
"Why didn't you save people from our Xu family first?" Elder Xu shouted furiously.
"I save people by mood, not by identity," Leng Ruoxue said disdainfully. So what if you're from the Xu family. The Xu family isn't any better than pigs to me.
"You… Our Xu family won't let you go!" Elder Xu threatened, trembling with rage.
"Are you threatening us? The Xu family is worthy of being one of the Five Great Families. So imposing, I'm so scared!" Leng Ruoxue said mockingly with a scared expression on her face.
"The Xu family is too much. They're threatening people who didn't save their family members. The Xu family only has this level of tolerance!" All the men present saw the stunning beauty being threatened and wronged by others, and they immediately interrupted in righteous indignation.
"Miss, you've just saved me and my brothers once again. My brothers and I are willing to follow Miss and repay you for your great favor. I will fight against whoever dares make trouble for Miss," Feng Da said solemnly. Even though he knew that the young lady didn't need them to act in this way, they would always feel a knot in their hearts if they didn't. Moreover, they did this to let people know of the ruthlessness and bullying nature of the Xu family and the Anaconda Mercenary Group.
"Since you've been expelled from the Anaconda Mercenary Group, I will accept you." Leng Ruoxue nodded. She found that Feng Da and the others were becoming more devious. But just as well. She was pretty satisfied.
"How dare you take in the people who our Xu family wants to kill." Elder Xu's face darkened with anger.
"You said you wouldn't let us go, then what does it matter if I take them in or not?" Leng Ruoxue said without any fear, not paying attention to this angry Elder Xu at all.
"Young Master Zhang…" Elder Xu turned his head to look at Zhang Jian for support. Although he really wanted to kill them to vent his anger for the death of his brother, he was an elder of a prominent family after all and hadn't lost his reason yet. He was not afraid of the Spiritual Sovereign nor the Spiritual Monarch. Who he feared were the stunning girl and the freakishly good-looking man. He couldn't tell how strong these two people were at all. But since they could kill two holy beast-level earth pythons, then they were definitely not weaker than him, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
"Elder Xu, I expelled them just now. You heard it." Zhang Jian was not stupid. Since he had already handed them over, he wouldn't care if they were killed or not.
Zhang Jian turned his head and looked at Leng Ruoxue. When did such a great beauty appear on the Ling Feng Continent? Even Shui Xinran of the Shui family is like a weed compared to her.
