Chapter 165 - New Travelling Company (2)

Chen Xianbin didn’t tell Murong Qingyan the whole truth, but he figured he needed to tell part of the truth if he really wanted to secure Murong Qingyan’s help.

“Ah~” Murong Qingyan said, “I appreciate your honesty, Mr. Chen. But me and my friend are on a schedule, I’d like to know roughly how long it’s gonna take. The Gloomy Forest is quite a spacious place, I don’t want to look or it aimlessly.”

“Don’t worry, Miss. Murong.” Chen Xianbin said, “We already know where it is, I just want some of your help, and as I said earlier, I will reward you as long as we get it back.”

“All right, all right.” Murong Qingyan nodded.

“Big Brother, we just met them…” Chen Wenwen wasn’t happy Chen Xianbin and Murong Qingyan were about to reach an agreement on travelling together, but Chen Xianbin pulled her aside when she was about to object to him.

“Big Brother, what are you doing, I cannot believe you’ve just asked that ugly face to travel with us and you’ve told her about our mission!” Chen Wenwen shook Chen Xianbin off, “Do you know ho important the treasure is to us! To our entire family? What if that ugly face wants to snatch it away from us?”

“Wenwen, of course I have my reasons.” Chen Xianbin took a deep breath, “Do you have any idea what is happening? We know where the treasure is, but no way can we defeat the monster that’s guarding it! We cannot get it even if we spend one more year wandering around in the forest? What are you expecting me to do? To go back home ask for help? No way, we will become the laughing stock!”

“But… but Big Brother, we cannot… we cannot create an opportunity that can be exploited to someone else’s advantage.” Chen Wenwen explained anxiously, “Grandfather will punish even harder if that’s the case.”

“Don’t you worry about that”, Chen Xianbin tapped on Chen Wenwen’s shoulder, “Only we can touch the treasure! People with our blood!”

“Why it has to be that ugly face?” Chen Wenwen still looked frustrated, “I just hate her so much, plus she is so weak, she won’t be much of a help! Don’t you agree?”

Chen Wenwen blamed it on Murong Qingyan when Huangfu Jue had attacked her, she hated Murong Qingyan even more when she noticed how much Huangfu Jue cared for Murong Qingyan.

“I do, I do agree.” Chen Xianbin nodded with a smile, that was one crooked smile, “But the man who is travelling with her is the strongest cultivator I have ever seen, we will secure our family heirloom as long as we have his assistance. The tricky thing is, he only listens to Miss. Murong, so we have to get our goals in roundabout way.”

“I don’t think the mysterious man really care for her, that ugly face.” Chen Wenwen sneered, “I find it hard to believe! The strongest cultivator would fall for an ugly face like her.”

“Wenwen!” Chen Xianbin put on a serious face for he had heard the jealousy in Chen Wenwen’s tone, “I know what you are thinking about, please stop! You know you are betrothed to Si Huang, your future husband has to be Si Huang! you better not forget about that!”

Chen Xianbin had already noticed Chen Wenwen’s misbehavior when they saw Huangfu Jue for the first time. As Chen Wenwen’s big brother, he would not allow that to happen! Si Huang was the perfect brother-in-law that the Chen Family looked for Chen Wenwen, he believed his future brother-in-law had to be Si Huang!

“Big Brother!” Chen Wenwen stamped her foot in frustration, “This is an arranged marriage! Our elders arranged this for me, they didn’t even bother to ask my opinion, I… I’ve always seen Si Huang as an older brother!”

Chen Wenwen used to accept this engagement with heartfelt delight, Si Huang was the legitimate son of Si Family, and he was a competent cultivator, plus he was one good-looking young lad, it looked like a perfect match for her through and through. But Chen Wenwen had changed her opinion since she had met Huangfu Jue.

“Wenwen, you know neither of us has a say in this.” Chen Xianbin glared at Chen Wenwen, “I don’t think you want to mention this to grandfather, do you?”

Chen Wenwen’s heart sank when she heard Chen Xianbin mentioning their grandfather, no one in their entire family dared to disobey the ultimate authority in their family, Chen Wenwen for sure dared not to dwell on this any more.

Chen Xianbin heaved a sigh, he tapped on his sister’s shoulder, “Wenwen, don’t blame me for being too harsh on you now, you will thank me in the future. We both know how grandfather is like, we’ve heard what has happened to our aunt since we were kids, right? Do you want to follow in aunt’s steps and offend grandfather?”

“No, I won’t.” Chen Wenwen answered subconsciously, “I won’t disobey grandfather. But… but that mysterious man must from a noble family, otherwise he won’t be this cultivated. This is different from aunt’s case, aunt chose someone from a low family… …”
