“Haha! Since fate has brought us together, why don’t we go together!” The middle-aged man said straightforwardly and extended an invitation to Leng Ruoxue and the others.

“Uncle, their strength is so low. If we bring them along, they’ll be a burden to us.” As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, someone immediately became displeased.

Leng Ruoxue raised her beautiful eyes and sized up the woman who spoke. She smiled lightly and said, “Thank you for your kind intentions. Since you’re afraid we’ll drag you down, then let’s go our separate ways!”

“Hmph! At least you know what’s good for you!” the woman said proudly.

“Uh! I’m really sorry. I originally thought that the more people there were, the stronger I would be. I didn’t expect…” the middle-aged man said a little embarrassedly. He only spoke halfway before fiercely glaring at the woman who called him uncle!

“It doesn’t matter,” Leng Ruoxue said with some disapproval. However, she was thinking about how to get the ginseng out of their mouths. After all, Qing Jue had given her a mission just now, telling her to get the ginseng. Sigh! If only the baby was here. That way, even if she didn’t ask, she would know what she wanted.

“Then we’ll take our leave.” The middle-aged man said somewhat embarrassedly. Then, he led the group past Leng Ruoxue and the others and headed towards the depths.

“Xue’er, are you following them?” Empty asked softly. He knew that Xue’er was probably interested in the fire ginseng.

“En.” Leng Ruoxue nodded. Since she didn’t have a chance to get information out of him, she decided to follow behind them to where the Fire Ginseng might appear.

Seeing Leng Ruoxue nod her head, everyone followed readily behind that group of people, heading deeper into the mountain…

After walking for about an hour, Leng Ruoxue and the others arrived at a cave that was half a person tall. This seemed to be their destination because there were already many people gathered there.

“Hey! Why are you all so shameless? Why are you following us?” The woman was no longer calm after seeing Leng Ruoxue and the others.

“What a joke. Does the road belong to your family? Only you can walk, but we can’t? Besides, there are so many people here. Did they all follow you here?” Feng Da questioned with a face full of disdain.

“Mei’er, shut up!” The middle-aged man growled in anger. Sigh! This niece of his was really too insensible. There were so many people here, how could she have the right to speak!

“Miss Liu, we arrived here first!” At this moment, a young man said with a faint smile. However, his gaze could not help but drift to Leng Ruoxue. The reason why he said this was to give Leng Ruoxue a good impression.

“Haha! Miss Liu, heavenly treasures don’t belong to whoever gets there first.” Another person echoed.

“You guys…” Everyone’s strange gazes made Liu Mei’s beautiful face turn red.

“It’s all your fault! I really don’t know how you seduced them, to actually make them stand on your side!” Liu Mei raged with jealousy, her face full of anger as she pointed the spearhead at Leng Ruoxue.

Hearing Liu Mei’s words, Leng Ruoxue was depressed. Sigh! What did this have to do with her? Did she get shot while lying down? Women who were burning with jealousy were indeed unreasonable, but this was the first time she had seen this woman! So, she really couldn’t understand why this woman was so hostile towards her!

Suddenly, “Pa!” Lü Tao slapped Liu Mei’s face, making her dumbfounded.

“How can you slander my young miss? You really don’t know what’s good for you.” Peach roared in anger, fully displaying her hidden lion-like qualities.

“My dear Lü Tao, does it hurt? You can just kill this kind of woman directly. Why do you have to do it yourself!” Feng Da took Lü Tao’s fair and tender hand and gently blew on it, then said with a face full of heartache.

“That’s true!” Lü Tao nodded in agreement.

“Everyone, I’m really sorry. It’s all my fault for not disciplining her properly. Please let Mei’er off on my account!” The middle-aged man hurriedly pleaded. Even though this niece of his was quite annoying sometimes, he couldn’t just watch as these people killed Mei’er right in front of him!

“Uncle! They’re just some great mystic cultivators. Why are you begging them? I don’t believe they’d dare to kill me.” Liu Mei snapped out of her daze. When she saw her uncle begging Leng Ruoxue and the others, she instantly felt upset. She couldn’t care less about the burning pain on her face and directly shouted.

“Shut your mouth!” The middle-aged man roared in anger. She really was a blind person. If these people didn’t have any backing, would they dare come here to look for the Fire Ginseng?

“Looks like your niece doesn’t appreciate your kindness!” Leng Ruoxue smiled and said to the middle-aged man.

“I am truly sorry. Please give me some face and don’t lower yourself to her level. She has been spoiled by my brother.” The middle-aged man said in a very humble manner.

“I’m best at educating the daughters of spoiled, arrogant daughters. Do you want me to help you train her?” Leng Ruoxue said sincerely. Oh, she really wanted to help!

“Uh! There’s no need. It’s fine as long as you don’t mind her lack of manners.” The middle-aged man hurriedly said. Then, he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead without leaving a trace. He couldn’t help but feel nervous. The people around you are all so fierce. If Mei’er really fell into your hands, that would be great!

“I’m sorry, I’m being calculative!” Leng Ruoxue said coldly. Then, she pulled the demon to a secluded spot and sat down.

“Ugh!” The middle-aged man was speechless. He didn’t expect that the other party wouldn’t even give him face. Sigh!

“Xue’er, why didn’t you let me take action just now!” After sitting down, the freak pulled Xue’er into his embrace and unhappily said. He had originally wanted to teach that woman a lesson, but he was stopped by a look from Xue’er.

“Now is not the time yet. It would not be too late to teach her a lesson if she is still alive after we obtain the Fire Ginseng.” Leng Ruoxue said with a wicked smile. It was just an insignificant woman and she did not put her in her eyes at all. However, if they killed Liu Mei in public, even if the middle-aged man did not want to be their enemy, it would be impossible.. Furthermore, this would expose their true strength. This would be very disadvantageous for them who were pretending to be weak to snatch the Fire Ginseng!
