Cloud Village sat atop a mountain with steep, challenging roads. Only those with a bit of bravery dared to drive up.
The village’s transportation was underdeveloped, which inevitably caused its economy to lag and kept it isolated from news. Original content can be found at novel✦fire.net
Now, only a few elderly people remained in Cloud Village, as most of the younger population had gone to work outside.
When Chi Gui returned to Cloud Village, he had just received a message from Lu You: "Chi Gui, we’ve arrived in Nancheng and are preparing to head towards Cloud Village. We’ve transported our race cars over; can we train directly with them?"
True to their reputation as the top international racing team, they had audaciously transported their entire fleet of race cars.
He replied, "Sure. However, the road up the mountain here isn’t easy to navigate, and the cars, being large, might not make it in."
Confused, Lu You received the message.
"Lu, what’s wrong?" the manager asked, dragging his luggage and sounding concerned.
Lu You put away his phone: "Nothing... just, manager, prepare yourself mentally... The place we’re going to might feel a bit dated."
Too large a car might not even fit, and it’s a village... Lu You could already imagine what the place would look like.
He gave Lu You a bewildered look.
A dozen race cars neatly pulled up at the entrance of the village.
From the leading black race car, the manager emerged from the passenger seat, looking utterly desolate.
He gazed at the mud houses and dirt roads not far away, his expression growing even more desolate.
Turning, the manager looked at Lu You, who was descending from the driver’s seat, and suddenly felt suspicious that Lu You had been fooled, "Lu... Are you sure this place is suitable for our training?"
What he actually wanted to ask was, do you really know that person called Hunter?
But that question was too impolite, so he chose a more tactful way of asking.
The manager had originally hired a professional vehicle transport truck to protect their race cars.
Upon arriving, it turned out that aside from small cars, other vehicles couldn’t make it up at all!
With no other choice, all the racers had to get out and drive their cars up themselves!
The manager had never seen such bad roads in his life!
Lu You was also feeling a bit anxious and took out his phone: "I’ll ask Sister Chi."
Chi Gui had already returned to her grandmother’s house.
Her grandmother’s house was always cleaned and maintained by bodyguards in secret, so it was spotlessly clean and didn’t require Chi Gui to do much.
After setting down her luggage from Capital City and organizing everything, she received a call from Lu You.
"You’ve arrived? Wait for me to come down, and I’ll take you to the inn," Chi Gui locked the door and headed towards the village center, phone in hand.
In just that short amount of time, many villagers had already gathered at the village head, curiously watching the impressive convoy of cars at the entrance.
Cloud Village only saw a few cars enter during the New Year; now, a dozen bold and imposing race cars blocking the village entrance drew everyone’s attention.
The manager, feeling irritated by being stared at, was just about to urge Lu You to call Hunter again when his gaze was suddenly caught by a figure approaching in the distance.
It was a slim girl dressed in a plain white T-shirt and blue jeans, her sleek black hair pulled back, her skin radiating under the sunlight.
Her eyebrows and eyes exuded a calm presence, her beautiful almond eyes dark and bright, her hands nonchalantly in her pockets as she strolled lazily, yet, she exuded a natural calm and tranquility that seemed to instantly soothe the manager and the dozen teammates behind him.
The bumpy ride and feeling like a spectacle had left them anxious, but it seemed to evaporate the moment they saw her.
"There she is," Lu You smiled and waved at Chi Gui.
Staring at the girl who looked no different from a well-behaved girl next door, he widened his eyes in disbelief, forgetting manners: "Lu, are you sure she’s that Hunter?"
