"How was it? I'm awesome, right..."
After easily taking down the young man, Chu Yunxuan had a proud smile on her face, running up to Qin Fang as if seeking praise.
"Hmm, very impressive..."
Qin Fang was naturally happy to compliment her and even raised his thumb in approval.
"So, do you believe it now... I told you not to act!"
Of course, Qin Fang had a pleased expression as he looked at the young man and said, "Can you talk now..."
"You might as well kill me..."
The young man hesitated for a moment but eventually bit his lip and resolutely said. This time his gaze was even more steadfast than before, and his mind immediately stabilized.
However, compared to before, his eyes seemed slightly dull now, as he was fully prepared for death.
"Wow, can't believe you're so loyal. Your boss didn't care for you for nothing..."
Seeing the young man's reaction, Qin Fang was a bit speechless but couldn't help but praise him, "Well, let's not play anymore... Although you almost harmed us, considering you were trying to save someone, I won't make it hard for you. You can go..."
Looking at the young man in front of him who was ready to die, Qin Fang realized he might have gone too far. He didn't want the situation to escalate into a tragedy.
Just now, the young man's psychological defenses had been broken, and Qin Fang used his Mind Reading Technique to understand the general situation. That was how he realized why the young man had ambushed them; it was purely accidental.
Upon hearing this, the young man was slightly stunned, clearly not quite believing it. However, since he wasn't afraid to die, he naturally didn't care about other things. As soon as he heard Qin Fang was going to let him go, he immediately stood up without hesitation, ready to leave...
"But, there's something I still want to remind you..."
Just as he stood up, Qin Fang spoke again.
The young man's foot was just about to step forward when he froze, turning his face towards Qin Fang, seemingly waiting for what he had to say.
"This time, you were lucky to encounter us. Although what you did wasn't right, we aren't people who kill the innocent. But when your real enemies come, you might not be so lucky... If you heed my advice, you should take your boss and leave here quickly; you might have a slim chance of survival. If you stay in the mountains, I'm afraid there won't be any chance of survival!"
"I've said all I can, take care of yourself..."
After saying these things, Qin Fang stopped paying attention to them and returned to Chu Yunxuan, ready to continue on the road...
The young man froze for a moment, obviously surprised by Qin Fang's words, his eyes flashing with a strange light, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Boss, what boss?"
Chu Yunxuan also quietly asked, still completely confused, but noticing that Qin Fang seemed to know something, she couldn't help but inquire.
"This kid mistook us for someone else, almost accidentally hurting us..."
Qin Fang said helplessly, summarizing the situation briefly without going into too much detail, since he only knew the rough idea himself.
"Wait a minute..."
Before Qin Fang and Chu Yunxuan could leave, the young man suddenly said, "I can give you the item, just please spare my boss..."
Qin Fang and Chu Yunxuan were taken aback, clearly not expecting this.
Qin Fang seemed a bit better off, already understanding what was going on, but Chu Yunxuan remained completely in the dark, her eyes full of confusion upon hearing this.
"I've already said we were just passing through, not your enemies... You should give that item to whoever it's meant for, handle it yourself!"
Faced with the young man's words, Qin Fang was baffled, having been wrongly treated as an enemy, almost losing his life.
Now he wasn't even pursuing the matter, yet the young man insisted, even offering up the item he previously guarded as a treasure, leaving Qin Fang speechless to the extreme.
"Since you're not enemies, then I ask you to take the item away..."
Seemingly expecting Qin Fang's response, the young man said without any hesitation, even...
Pa~~
The young man's knees suddenly buckled, kneeling before Qin Fang and Chu Yunxuan,
"There's gold beneath a man's knees... I beg you..."
He even started kneeling there, bowing repeatedly to Qin Fang as if he wouldn't get up unless Qin Fang agreed.
"Sigh... You... you..."
Although Qin Fang could rely on the Mind Reading Technique to understand others' hearts, people's thoughts and affairs are ever-changing. Even a slight change can trigger emotional fluctuations.
Unless one constantly uses the Mind Reading Technique, it's challenging to grasp someone's true thoughts...
"Forget it, take me to your boss. I have medicine that can heal his injuries!"
Faced with this young man's request, Qin Fang was also at a loss for words. After thinking for a moment, he decided, "Yunxuan, we might not be able to watch the sunrise today..."
"Let's find another opportunity next time. Saving him is more important!"
Chu Yunxuan vaguely understood something and said indifferently.
As a former doctor, with a healer's heart, she naturally cared more about the injured patient.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry and lead the way... I know your boss is hiding in the bamboo grove ahead. If I had ill intentions, I would have attacked long ago!"
Qin Fang and Chu Yunxuan had finished discussing, but upon realizing this young man was still standing there, seemingly hesitant, Qin Fang scolded him harshly.
The young man thought that by saying nothing, the boss's whereabouts would remain secret, not realizing Qin Fang already knew everything without needing him to speak.
"How do you know?"
Indeed, upon hearing Qin Fang's words, the young man's expression changed dramatically, his face full of surprise, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"Don't worry about how I know, just lead the way... If you delay any longer, your boss might not survive... I have no interest in your stuff!"
Seeing the young man still there, stunned, Qin Fang flicked his forehead and impatiently scolded him. The young man clearly thought he had plenty of time!
"You mean..."
The young man, hearing Qin Fang's words, suddenly remembered past events, and his face turned even paler.
"Alright! I'll take you there..."
After a slight hesitation, the young man didn't dare hesitate any longer. As he spoke, he quickly ventured into the dense forest.
In fact, Qin Fang had already vaguely understood what was going on.
This young man offended people due to a particular artifact. When enemies came chasing, many of his brothers were lost. Only he and his boss narrowly escaped, with his boss seriously injured...
For survival and to protect his boss, the young man set traps in the mountain, never expecting that Qin Fang and Chu Yunxuan would trigger them, mistakenly thinking they were enemies.
Yet, fate played its hand, and instead of enemies, he met Qin Fang and Chu Yunxuan.
Only driven to desperation did the young man decide to hand over the artifact in exchange for his and his boss's survival...
However, when Qin Fang and Chu Yunxuan sought no conditions and intended to leave, and when he proactively offered the artifact, they chose to help his boss. Though puzzled, he decided to take a chance!
After all, if Qin Fang could discover his boss's location, it wouldn't be difficult for him to kill them both... This indicated he might have misunderstood Qin Fang and Chu Yunxuan.
The three of them ventured deep into the forest, traveling approximately two to three meters before arriving at a bamboo grove where the young man's boss was hiding.
"Oh no, your boss is in bad shape..."
As soon as Qin Fang entered, the mini-map immediately showed a person's location, and the Scouting Skill quickly assessed the boss's condition, revealing him to be in extreme peril, on the brink of passing away.
"Yunxuan, go with him... I'll go ahead first!"
Qin Fang gave a simple order, then leaped forward, transforming into a black streak, rushing into the bamboo grove.
His entire body traversed swiftly through the dense bamboo, with the stalks offering no hindrance to his pace...
The bamboo grove was dense, especially around the edges, making it difficult to see inside from outside, making it an excellent hiding spot.
However, if their enemies found them here, they wouldn't have any chance to escape as the grove's density prevented fast movement...
When Qin Fang arrived, the young man's boss, a man in his thirties, was already on the verge of death. His chest bore a bloody hole that looked like a stab wound, spared only by missing the heart, allowing survival thus far.
Yet, the bleeding never staunched, leading to severe blood loss and his current state, teetering on the brink.
Without another word, Qin Fang darted to the man's side, swiftly using the Silver Needle to staunch the blood flow and seal the surrounding meridians, preventing further blood loss.
Simultaneously, with a flick of his wrist, he held a Blood Replenishing Pill, prying the man's mouth open to force it in... Luckily, the Blood Replenishing Pill melted instantly upon entering, rapidly integrating into the body, sparing Qin Fang from worrying about swallowing and absorption! (To be continued.
