After all, if these two people aren’t dead, then surely they’ll cause trouble for Mu Qiancheng next time. By then, Mu Qiancheng may not be so lucky.
"Wasn’t there a black bear around here before? Just let them fend for themselves," Mu Qiancheng initially wanted to kill them directly but feared it might scare Jiang Xue. Unsure what to do, he remembered the black bear from before.
"A black bear?" Jiang Xue was taken aback, then remembered they hadn’t seen the bear for quite some time. Turning her head to look around, she indeed noticed the black bear was gone.
"This isn’t scientific!" Jiang Xue murmured to herself. When did the black bear leave? They hadn’t noticed at all. Get full chapters from novel⚑fire.net
Moreover, shouldn’t the black bear have been more aggressive upon seeing them? How could it have left so quietly?
Jiang Xue was puzzled and asked Little Fox again.
Little Fox, upon hearing this, sneered at Jiang Xue for a moment and said, "Woman, that black bear is under someone’s control."
"What?" Jiang Xue was shocked. If what Little Fox said was true, then someone else was nearby just now.
Yet, they hadn’t noticed at all. The feeling of being watched secretly was unsettling.
So, Jiang Xue blamed Little Fox a bit, saying, "Since you knew, why didn’t you tell me?"
"Woman, would it help if I told you? Besides, that person is far away."
Jiang Xue felt a bit disheartened upon hearing this and asked, "What about now? Has the person left?"
Only then did Jiang Xue feel a bit relieved and then said to Mu Qiancheng, "Qian Cheng, the black bear’s gone. How about we take these two with us and decide after rescuing the warriors?"
Upon learning someone else had been nearby, Jiang Xue changed her mind. Letting these two die would be too easy for them. Moreover, they hadn’t mentioned having an accomplice, which made her upset.
Additionally, Jiang Xue felt that if an accomplice was nearby before, upon seeing these two subdued, the person might transfer the captured warriors or kill them to silence witnesses.
"Alright, let’s take them and go rescue the others first," Mu Qiancheng thought for a moment and agreed with Jiang Xue’s suggestion.
So, Mu Qiancheng and Jiang Xue took the two individuals to the place they had mentioned. That place wasn’t far from the forest here, and it took just half an hour to get there.
Upon arrival, Jiang Xue found it was a hut. It looked like a rest spot left by hunters in the mountains.
Mu Qiancheng glanced at the quiet hut and then said to Jiang Xue, "Xue’er, wait here and watch these two. I’ll go check it out first."
"Alright!" Jiang Xue nodded and said to Mu Qiancheng, "Be careful yourself."
"I will," Mu Qiancheng said and then walked towards the small hut. Jiang Xue stayed put, watching the two men.
At this point, the two men’s consciousness had returned. Noticing only Jiang Xue was left, they began planning their escape.
Jiang Xue was unaware of the two men’s intentions; her mind was entirely on Mu Qiancheng. She feared there was an ambush in the hut and worried about Mu Qiancheng’s safety.
Earlier, while on the way, she wanted to warn Mu Qiancheng. But she feared he would ask how she knew, and then she wouldn’t know how to answer.
So, she said nothing on the way over. Now, all she could do was wait anxiously.
