Some of the colleagues around him saw this scene and all had mocking expressions on their faces.
As for help?
That was naturally impossible.
"Hmph!"
Lei Zheng let out a small hum, causing Wan Feiliang to shiver involuntarily.
Fortunately, Lei Zheng did not actually make a move, but instead said to everyone.
"In the afternoon, everyone will spread out and search separately. Whoever finds something, I will definitely reward them. If they wish, I can introduce them to meet the General!"
The general Lei Zheng mentioned was of course the General of Border Defense.
These words made many people’s eyes light up.
The forces behind many people were nowhere near as powerful as the towering influence of the General of Border Defense. If they could really get connected with his power, they could probably walk through the Imperial City unchecked in the future.
"We obey!"
Although martial generals are straightforward, they are not entirely without brains.
Just like Lei Zheng now, it would take some brains to say such things.
Ye Liuyun earnestly agreed, while Wan Feiliang beside him looked a bit unwilling, having failed to trap Ye Liuyun this time.
He was already plotting what method to use next time to deal with Ye Liuyun.
,,,
"Sir, I heard that Zhao Tian is hunting nearby."
In the afternoon, Ye Liuyun, with Si Nan and Shi Sheng, walked to another part of the forest.
Led by Si Nan.
Soon they found an area where Zhao Tian often hunted.
Just as they were about to walk over.
"Snap!"
A faint crisp sound made Ye Liuyun stop in his tracks.
He immediately raised his hand and pulled Si Nan, who was walking in the front, back.
In the next moment!
"Boom!"
A towering tree suddenly fell, its target precisely the spot where Si Nan had just been.
The moment the trunk collapsed, it kicked up quite a bit of dust.
Si Nan, who had been pulled back, looked curious at first, but now, seeing the fallen tree, his face was full of lingering fear. If not for Ye Liuyun’s intervention, with such weight.
He feared he might have been crushed to death directly.
"Thank you, sir, for saving my life!"
Ye Liuyun said nothing, just waved his hand to indicate it was nothing.
Frowning as he looked at the fallen tree.
Shi Sheng also examined the broken part of the tree at this time.
"It looks like it’s been gnawed by some animals, not like it was human-induced."
If it were human-caused, the break wouldn’t be so rough.
Saying this, Shi Sheng also looked at Si Nan strangely.
As if not expecting Si Nan to be so unlucky, encountering such a thing.
",,,
Ye Liuyun remained silent, not saying a word. Unlucky? This was not just simple bad luck.
Could the fate of the Chosen One be so tyrannical?
Even before taking action, could such misfortune attach itself just by being near, though having come this far, giving up would be too courteous.
Moreover, because of the usefulness of the ’Chosen One’ golden perk, Ye Liuyun wanted it all the more.
"You stay here and guard, don’t let anyone else near, understand?"
Ye Liuyun didn’t let Si Nan and Shi Sheng continue following.
"Yes, sir!"
Both replied in unison, staying at their positions.
And Ye Liuyun himself leaped over the fallen trunk, directly using Qinggong to advance.
"What do you think the sir meant by that?"
After Ye Liuyun left, looking at Si Nan sitting directly on the trunk, Shi Sheng asked curiously.
"I don’t know!"
Shrugging.
Not all things could be guessed by oneself.
"But it doesn’t matter, when we return, we can simply ask the sir. If he can say, he’ll surely tell us."
If he can’t say it, knowing won’t have much meaning anyway.
"True!"
Shi Sheng thought for a moment and found it was indeed the truth.
He nodded and sat down next to Si Nan.
Following Ye Liuyun’s order, they guarded the place.
But after a while.
"After we go back this time, accompany me to the shrine!"
Si Nan originally didn’t believe in gods or spirits, but today’s misfortune was truly a bit unusual.
He felt that not going to the shrine to pray would make his heart uneasy.
"Tsk!"
,,,
"What’s going on?"
At the same time, over by Zhao Tian.
He had just hunted a rabbit, intending to chop two bundles of firewood and return.
But for some reason, he felt uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen.
Yet the surroundings were peaceful, with no sign of danger.
"Forget it, there’s enough firewood at home, I’ll cut some next time."
Since childhood, Zhao Tian had always trusted his instincts. Whenever he had this feeling, dangerous things would occur, and he often relied on such intuition to avoid danger.
Thinking this way.
Zhao Tian planned to leave immediately.
However.
"As expected of the Chosen One, the intuition is indeed sharp."
So, realizing the danger in advance, he’s leaving.
"???"
The sudden voice made Zhao Tian pause, puzzled about what ’Chosen One’ meant.
But in the next moment.
Ye Liuyun’s figure fell into Zhao Tian’s eyes.
Though he didn’t know Ye Liuyun, Zhao Tian recognized the clothes Ye Liuyun wore as those of the people from earlier that day.
His pupils slightly contracted, as if thinking of something, but quickly reacting, he promptly bowed and said.
"Esteemed sir, I’m just an ordinary villager, does sir need anything?"
"Stop pretending!"
Still young after all.
No matter how shrewd, it would still show a bit on the face.
With careful observation, one could still see through it.
"You should know what I want, hand it over."
Finishing his words, Ye Liuyun raised his hand toward Zhao Tian.
With a look as if he knew everything and Zhao Tian should stop pretending.
",,,
He was actually discovered.
But Zhao Tian still didn’t admit it, forcing a smile and said.
"What is sir talking about, I don’t understand."
"I’ll say it again, hand it over."
Ye Liuyun’s expression was calm, unaffected by Zhao Tian’s words.
"I,,"
Zhao Tian wanted to deny it again.
But in the next moment, Ye Liuyun’s Palm Seal had already struck Zhao Tian.
"Boom!"
It seemed he didn’t expect Ye Liuyun to make a move directly.
As Zhao Tian flew out, his face still looked a bit dumbfounded.
His body crashed into a big tree.
But soon, Zhao Tian stood up again, glaring at Ye Liuyun.
"Esteemed sir, how can you attack me for no reason, is there no law?"
",,,
Ye Liuyun remained silent, but not because of Zhao Tian’s words.
Even though he hadn’t used full force with that palm, how could someone with no cultivation get up completely unscathed in seconds, is that something a normal person could do?
Is the fate of the Chosen One that outrageous!
