"Father, but …"
Seeing that the man was about to relent, the beautiful girl hurriedly said. However, before she could finish her sentence, the man waved his hand to stop her.
The fact that the young man in front of her could reach this place meant that he had the ability.
Furthermore, he could take out a bottle of precious pills and give it to someone else. This meant that he had a background!
It was better not to offend this kind of person.
"Then, thank you, old brother."
Qin Yichen smiled and cupped his hands to thank the man.
At this point, he finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Finally, he could leave this damned place.
He did not want to continue wandering around in this place. If he missed the Pill Pagoda's test because of this, he would be done for.
Seeing Qin Yichen walk over, the beautiful girl frowned and her face was filled with vigilance.
Obviously, she did not treat Qin Yichen as a good person. She felt that he had other motives for approaching the group.
"Hehe, little brother, it is very dangerous to get lost in this Misty Forest. Otherwise, I would not have brought you along."
The man's character was rather forthright and straightforward.
This character also made Qin Yichen have a good impression of him. He immediately cupped his hands and said, "Old brother, just call me Little Chen."
"Alright."
The man was very straightforward, "I am Xiang Wu, the leader of the Rising Sun Mercenary Group. These two are my daughters, Xiang Ya and Xiang Xuan. The rest are my brothers in the group."
"Little Chen, you should rest first. We will set off after a short rest."
Xiang Wu patted Qin Yichen's shoulder and then turned around to organize the group.
"Hmph, father is used to being kind. I hope you don't do anything. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"
After Xiang Wu left, the beautiful girl called Xiang Ya raised her fist and threatened him.
Qin Yichen was not surprised by her hostility.
After all, a stranger suddenly appearing in this Misty Forest would indeed arouse suspicion. This was not to be criticized.
"Big brother, where did you come from? How did you get lost?"
At the side, the little girl, who looked like a porcelain doll, stared at Qin Yichen with her big eyes and suddenly asked in a crisp voice.
"Big Brother is from Celestial Qilin."
Looking at the adorable little girl in front of him, Qin Yichen could not help but think of Little Ling'er. Immediately, a gentle smile appeared on his face.
Perhaps, it was because of the goodwill that he had shown at this moment that the vigilance in Xiang Ya's beautiful eyes had eased a little. However, her tone was still not too good. "Follow us. We don't expect you to do much. It will be fine as long as you stay within our circle of protection. If we get separated, no one will take care of you!"
After she finished speaking, she held the hand of Xiang Xuan, who still had a curious expression on her face, and walked towards the group.
As Xiang Xuan walked, she turned around and made a cute face at Qin Yichen, causing him to laugh uncontrollably.
"This group seems to have been targeted by something."
Qin Yichen stretched his body and casually glanced behind him. Within the fog, he could vaguely sense that something was following behind this mercenary group.
"Let's hope that the journey will be smooth."
After resting, Qin Yichen continued to follow the Rising Sun Mercenary Group as they prepared to pass through the Misty Forest.
Along the way, the mercenaries in the group were vigilantly observing their surroundings. From the expressions on their faces, it was obvious that this group had been attacked by many Magical Beasts. This was also something that made Qin Yichen feel strange.
Generally speaking, even though the Magical Beasts in the Misty Forest were ferocious, they would not be so persistent in chasing and killing people. He did not know what exactly was attracting these Magical Beasts in this mercenary group, causing such a situation to occur so frequently.
"Little Chen, drink some water."
While Qin Yichen was deep in thought, a laughter suddenly sounded out. Soon after, he stretched out his hand and caught a water bag in his hand. Then, he raised his head and smiled at the person who threw the water bag over.
That person was a middle-aged man. His name was Liu Zhen. Looking at his age, he could be considered an elder in the Xiang Wu Mercenary Group. Apart from Xiang Wu, he was also the only expert at the peak of the first realm of Martial Grandmaster in the group.
"Thank you, Brother Liu."
Qin Yichen thanked him, then opened the water bag and drank two mouthfuls. Immediately, his face flushed red.
This was because he realized that the water bag was not filled with water, but with strong alcohol!
Seeing Qin Yichen's flushed face, the surrounding mercenaries could not help but laugh out loud.
"Haha, Old Liu, don't bully this little brother because he is young."
Xiang Wu, who was leading the way, also laughed out loud.
Qin Yichen helplessly shook his head and threw the wine bag back to Liu Zhen.
He knew that these mercenaries did not mean to laugh at him, and to be honest, he quite liked this feeling.
From these people, he could see the spirit of loyalty and friendship.
This kind of friendly banter allowed Qin Yichen to quickly blend into the group.
However, not all of them were so kind. For example, Xiang Ya, that girl, had never been kind to him.
"Little brother, don't mind her. That girl Xiang Ya is actually a good person. However, this trip was not smooth, so her temper is a little bad. Don't take it to heart."
Liu Zhen explained with a smile.
"It's fine."
Qin Yichen did not take it to heart, but instead, he focused on Xiang Xuan.
He felt that there was something unusual about Xiang Xuan.
"If there is a beast tide later, help me look after those two girls."
Liu Zhen patted his shoulder.
"Don't worry, Old Brother Liu."
Liu Zhen's serious expression made Qin Yichen not dare to let his guard down. He slowly leaned towards the two girls so that he could take care of them if something happened.
"Big Brother, will we be fine?"
Xiang Xuan lifted her head and looked at him with her big, watery eyes.
"Of course we will be fine."
Qin Yichen smiled and squatted down. He reached out and patted Xiang Xuan's head to comfort her.
However, in the next moment, his hand paused and his gaze fell on her neck.
There was a white stone hanging from a silk thread around her neck.
Qin Yichen's gaze froze.
"Big Brother, do you like this stone too?"
Xiang Xuan saw him staring at her pendant and showed it off in front of him as if she was presenting a treasure.
After she picked up the stone, Qin Yichen finally saw the full appearance of this so-called "stone".
The stone was white, but there seemed to be a cloud of fog inside. The fog was moving and drifting inside.
"I like it."
Of course, Qin Yichen liked it.
After seeing the stone hanging from her neck, he finally understood why they were constantly attacked by the magical beasts.
