While the Wanxiang Building in Zhi City was feeling tornted, Mu Qingge was already on the road to Huan City.
She needed to escort Han Caicai to Huan City in exchange for definitive information regarding the Abnormal Fire.
Initially, she wanted to refuse. After all, she didn’t think soone with abilities like Han Caicai’s would need an escort to Huan City. If not for safety, then for what?
But before she could voice her refusal, Han Caicai seed to see right through her thoughts and casually said, "As for the research on Abnormal Fire, I doubt there’s anyone on the entire continent who understands it more than I do. And I do have definite news on one kind of Abnormal Fire."
These words dispelled Mu Qingge’s thoughts of refusal.
Maybe Han Caicai’s first words were sowhat exaggerated, but Mu Qingge believed that Si Mo, who had lived for thousands of years and was the most powerful man on the Linchuan Continent, would know more about Abnormal Fire than Han Caicai.
However, distant water cannot quench imdiate thirst.
The elusive Mr. Monster was unpredictable; she had no idea where he was on the continent or when he would appear. She couldn’t just passively wait forever.
What truly attracted Mu Qingge to change her mind was Han Caicai’s latter sentence.
She needed the Abnormal Fire!
Specifically, it would be best if it was definitive news about one of the two types of Abnormal Fire she required.
However, when she wanted to further ask Han Caicai about which kind of Abnormal Fire he was referring to, he suddenly beca reserved and refused to say.
In the end, he only said one thing: let Mu Qingge fulfill her previous promise and deliver him to Huan City, and he would reveal the truth then.
So, in the end, Mu Qingge led her team and embarked on the journey with Han Caicai’s entourage.
They didn’t even stay a day in Yu Zhi Town, resulting in the Wei Family siblings, who rushed over to Yu Zhi Town to rendezvous with her right after she left, missing her.
Helpless, they could only set off towards Huan City to find Mu Qingge.
Yu Zhi Town happened to be halfway on the journey from Zhi City to Huan City. It took them roughly seven days from Zhi City to Yu Zhi Town. However, those seven days were almost entirely spent on the road, and their pace from Yu Zhi Town to Huan City slowed considerably.
The reason, of course, was because Han Caicai, being the employer, would demand that everyone stop and rest whenever they ca across a picturesque spot until he’d had his fill of the scenery.
Thus, the journey, which originally could have been completed in ten days, was dragged out to eleven days and they were still en route.
At this mont, they were rely a day’s travel from Huan City, if they hurried.
But upon encountering a Third Rank waterfall, Han Caicai beca intrigued and halted the team once again.
"The scenery here is quite decent, suitable for a leisurely drink." As Han Caicai mused to himself, his four attendants had already found the best vantage point, adeptly laying out soft cushions and arranging the drinking set, waiting for him.
Mu Qingge watched Han Caicai head towards the cushions with an expressionless gaze, indifferent.
Along this journey, there had been no ambushes or unexpected incidents. This only made her more perplexed about the purpose behind Han Caicai’s request for an escort.
She had to remain cautious of Han Caicai.
They were not friends; if anything, they could even be considered adversaries.
Moreover, like her, Han Caicai was soone who planned several steps ahead. The only difference was that she did so only when necessary, facing an opponent, while Han Caicai seed to do it habitually.
To avoid being outmaneuvered by him again, she could only stay vigilant.
Though traveling together, the divide between them was clear. Currently, Mu Qingge and her group stood at a distance from Han Caicai.
