When the agreed date arrived, Yun Qin deliberately declined all invitations. Even when Old Master Song called, Yun Qin still politely declined his invitation.
Just as she was about to set off, Song Yin sent her a message: [ Are you going to be very busy recently? ]
Yun Qin took the time to reply while packing her luggage: [ Yes, I have to go out for a while. ]
Song Yin did not ask her where she was going. Instead, he replied with full understanding: [ Okay, I’ll wait for you to come back. ]
After receiving the messages, Yun Qin put her phone away, changed into a set of hiking clothes, and put on a hat and a mask.
When she arrived at the agreed location, Yun Qin saw from afar that about five or six people were standing beside Hu Min.
She walked towards them. Before Yun Qin could say anything, a man next to Hu Min frowned and asked, “Min Min [Hu Min’s nickname], is this the master you found?”
Hu Min nodded and extended her hand to introduce, “This is Master Yun. She’s proficient in the art of exorcising ghosts and divination. She’s very powerful.”
Only then did Yun Qin carefully study the people beside her. There were four men and a woman.
The man who spoke just now was about 1.8 meters tall. He had a burly figure and a body full of muscles.
Beside the man stood a fat man who was smoking. He had curly hair and wore sunglasses. His eyes were narrowed.
After that was a thin man and a dark-skinned woman. They stood close together as if they knew each other.
A little further away from the car was a square-faced man. He wore a silver earring and carried a bag around his waist.
After listening to Hu Min’s introduction, the fat man standing beside the muscular man glanced at Yun Qin from head to toe. With a cigarette in his mouth, he said with a smile, “You look quite fair and tender. Can you keep up with us? Don’t say you want to go home when you can’t take it anymore.”
Yun Qin glanced at him. She didn’t bother to reply.
Hu Min, who was counting on Yun Qin to lead her to her grandmother’s corpse, laughed dryly. She had to bring Yun Qin with her no matter what. She quickly said, “Fatty, don’t talk nonsense. She has real abilities. We are all in the same line of work. Trust me.”
“Hehe, since you are vouching for her, what can I say?” The fat man said. There was a somewhat unfathomable look in his eyes.
Yun Qin frowned. She didn’t expect that before they even set off, she would already feel a wary and hostile attitude from Hu Min’s companions. She became even more cautious about this trip to Black Bear Ridge.
The skinny man and tanned woman who were accompanying her didn’t express their opinions at all. The man had been sizing up everyone with a sinister gaze, while the woman appeared to be daydreaming.
Seeing that the situation was a little awkward, the man beside the car walked over and said, “Since Hu Min is a capable person, we can relax. Alright, since everyone is here, let’s set off.”
With that, he briefly introduced the members to Yun Qin.
The muscular man was Hu Min’s boyfriend, Zhuang Sen. The fat man was Zhuang Sen’s childhood friend, Liu Jing. His nickname was Fatty.
The skinny man was Luo Hui, and the tanned woman was Luo Ke. They were siblings.
“My name is Ma Yue. I am the leader of this mission and also the organizer.” The square-faced man finally introduced himself. Yun Qin matched his name with the others and nodded silently.
As for the two groups of people that Ma Yue mentioned, each belonged to a sect and had some skills that they were good at. However, Yun Qin only understood half of what he said.
“There are seven people and two cars. Let’s go.” Ma Yue led the way and walked to the two off-road vehicles parked at the side.
Seeing this, Hu Min immediately said, “Master Yun, you can come with us.”
In the car that Yun Qin was in, the driver was Fatty, Hu Min’s boyfriend, Zhuang Sen, sat in the front passenger seat while Yun Qin and Hu Min sat in the back.
The moment the car took off, Fatty ridiculed, “Damn, what’s this car pulling? It’s so heavy.”
Zhuang Sen chuckled and said, “There is a trunk worth of explosive in the back. You have to be careful when you smoke. If a spark leaks out, we’re all going to heaven.”
Fatty quickly extinguished the cigarette in his mouth and turned the steering wheel. “What are you doing all this for? Do plan on killing people and starting fires?”
“Ma Yue is determined this time. He said that if he can’t find a way in, he will blast it open,” Zhuang Sen said while stroking his chin.
Hearing this, Fatty clicked his tongue and focused on driving. He did not say a word.
Yun Qin sat in the back seat and closed her eyes to rest without saying a word. Occasionally, she would listen to Fatty and Zhuang Sen chatting idly.
Hu Min tilted her head and looked out of the window. No one knew what she was thinking.
When the sun was about to set, the group of seven finally arrived at the small road leading to Black Bear Ridge Mine.
The last time Yun Qin came, she sensed that the temperature in the mountain dropped sharply. Now that the weather turned cold, the temperature here dropped even lower.. It was so cold that Fatty sneezed and cursed, “Damn, why is it so cold?”
