Ye Chong had noticed this man for a long time. He had been following him ever since he left the crowd. Ye Chong was about to make his move, but the man spoke first.
"You know of May's Night Ridge?" Ye Chong stopped and turned around.
Guan Qingheng did not answer Ye Chong's question, but studied the young man before him. Up close, Ye Chong impressed Guan Qingheng even more. It was hard to imagine a young man in his twenties looking at him with such indifference. The coldness in his eyes made him unapproachable.
"Your surname is Guan?" Guan Qingheng asked after a moment's thought.
It was an interesting question. Ye Chong could deduce a lot from Guan Qingheng's words. He could not help but think of Lunatic Guan, and nodded. "Yes."
Guan Qingheng, on the other hand, could not help but reveal a doubtful expression. Of the 14 families in May's Night Ridge, only the Guan family had the surname Guan. However, in all these years, other than the Young Miss and the Young Miss, no one else had left the ridge. The young man before him was at least 20 years old. The Young Miss's son? Guan Qingheng immediately pushed the ridiculous thought to the back of his mind. Why would he have such a ridiculous thought? Did the Young Miss have a son at 10?
However, other than the Young Miss and the Young Miss, no one else had left the ridge.
The Guan family might be declining, but in Five Night Moon Ridge, the Guan family was a true elder. The Guan family was one of the five original elders of Five Night Moon Ridge, and had never been denied the right to stay in the ridge. The new families that had just joined the Ridge might have some branches outside the Ridge. However, a family like the Guan family that had lived in the ridge for many years would not have any branches.
Could it be that this man's surname was also Guan? Guan Qingheng felt a little disappointed.
"Why are you going to May's Night Ridge?" Guan Qingheng asked. May's Night Ridge never welcomed outsiders.
Just then, a voice came from behind Guan Qingheng. "I say, Deputy, we should go back now." It was a cynical and teasing female voice.
Guan Qingheng frowned. He did not need to turn around to know who the voice was. Shi Mingbei was the leader of the procurement team.
He lifted his head and looked at the woman who had interrupted him. He was about 20 years old, with his right hand resting on his waist. This was a very basic movement for an alchemist. He slowly walked over, his right hand never leaving his waist. The colorful belt on his waist had many small pockets, but if one didn't pay attention, it would be hard to notice. Her hands were slender and very agile.
Ye Chong could not help but think highly of the quality of this woman's alchemist.
However, in the eyes of outsiders, it was a completely different scene. A woman with bright eyes and white teeth, who had the charm of a young married woman, had a faint seductive smile on her face. Her right hand was on her waist as she leisurely walked towards Bian Liangquan. Her slender waist, which could only be grasped by one arm, was like a weak willow swaying in the wind. The passersby could not help but swallow their saliva.
"Yo, who is this little brother? Captain, when did you get to know such a handsome young man? Why didn't you tell me? It's so sad! "There was a hint of bitterness and a hint of teasing.
However, Guan Qingheng acted as if he didn't see anything. He said coldly, "Lord Shi must be joking." Every time he saw this woman, he couldn't help but feel a sense of disgust.
Shi Mingbei was from the Shi Family. The Shi Family was one of the upstarts that had been approved to enter the Ridge during the last Ridge Conference. Compared to the Guan Family, which had a long history, the Shi Family's way of doing things was more utilitarian. However, this also increased their influence in the Ridge, and they could be seen in several important departments of the Ridge Council.
Guan Qingheng had never liked the Shi Family. Besides, he was in an awkward position in the purchasing department. He was 35 this year, while Shi Mingbei was only 24, but they were in opposite positions.
"Have you forgotten the rules of the Ridge, Captain? This little brother of mine has suffered quite a bit! "Shi Mingbei smiled sweetly, her smile like a flower, but a trace of coldness flashed through her pair of soul-stirring eyes.
Guan Qingheng's heart skipped a beat, and his expression changed.
A faint fragrance wafted through the air. Shi Mingbei's smile grew even more alluring, and her eyes curved into crescent moons.
Ye Chong, who had been watching the exchange between the two, twitched his nose, and his pupils contracted!
A cold humph! The wooden spear in his right hand suddenly spat out!
"Ah!" A woman screamed in pain! A shadow hit Shi Mingbei's left shoulder, and the force sent her flying backwards, landing heavily on the ground.
Crack! Guan Qingheng's expression changed. Hearing was not an alchemist's specialty, but he could still hear the sound of the bone breaking. Almost every alchemist was experienced in treating injuries. Guan Qingheng was certain that Shi Mingbei's left shoulder blade was comminuted.
Shi Mingbei's face contorted in pain. Her beautiful face was now unrecognizable. She gritted her teeth, enduring the pain, and reached for her waist with her right hand! She did not know how the other party noticed. If she had known, she would have used a stronger alchemy reagent.
Her hand finally reached her waist, but she suddenly stopped moving. She was petrified, not daring to move a muscle. Sweat beaded on the tip of her nose. Her face was pale, without a trace of blood. Her eyes were filled with fear!
The dark tip of the spear was no more than a centimeter away from her nose!
She could even see the lines on the tip of the spear, not to mention the unique aroma coming from the tip of the spear, which was as dark as the night sky.
Being able to enter May's Night Ridge meant that the Shi Family's alchemy skills were top-notch. As one of the best in the Shi Family, Shi Mingbei's alchemy skills were unquestionable.
She knew very well how potent the poison on the tip of the wooden spear was! Although she did not know what kind of alchemy it was, it did not stop her from making such a judgment. She even believed that if the tip of the wooden spear made a small cut on her body, she would not even have time to take any antidote before she died.
The tip of the spear stopped less than a centimeter away from her nose, and the air around her seemed to freeze. She had completely forgotten the pain on her body. She stared at the tip of the spear that represented death, not daring to move in case the other party misunderstood. Any movement from the other party could lead to terrible consequences.
Her back was drenched in cold sweat, and it was cold and refreshing.
She watched in horror as the tip of the spear moved downwards, not daring to move.
The tip of the spear finally stopped at her waist.
Hiss. She felt a chill on her waist as the tip of the spear brushed past her skin, causing her hair to stand on end. The fear in her eyes became even stronger.
The tip of the spear had cut a hole in her belt, revealing her fair and delicate skin. It was a unique temptation that attracted everyone's attention.
Ye Chong's eyes were cold, but he did not move. He bent down and carefully searched Shi Mingbei's waist. His movements were cautious and careful. Even when Ye Chong bent down, the wooden spear in his other hand did not move at all, as if his shoulders were two separate parts, and had nothing to do with each other.
In the eyes of others, the scene in front of them was most easily associated with a young man pointing a wooden spear at a beautiful woman and trying to molest her. It was incomparably alluring.
"How dare you, madman! How dare you do such a heinous thing in broad daylight! Stop it! "An angry rebuke suddenly sounded in everyone's ears like a bolt from the blue. Regardless of the era, this kind of thing never changed.
Ye Chong did not seem to hear it.
Shi Mingbei's fear grew. The man before her was too scary, and frighteningly calm! That person's angry rebuke did not have any effect on the youth in front of her. His hands did not move at all, and she could clearly feel that his movements were still as cautious and careful as ever. The tip of the spear seemed to be rooted to the ground, and did not move at all.
She regretted it now.
Ye Chong moved carefully. Places like an alchemist's belt were very dangerous. Poisons and other alchemy products were always on hand for them.
Ye Chong felt relieved that he had found it.
Ye Chong poured out some light green powder from a small pocket on the third row from the left. As soon as the powder was poured out, the air was immediately filled with an unpleasant smell. However, Ye Chong did not hesitate, and poured all the light green powder into his mouth.
"Who are you?" Shi Mingbei suddenly asked, her face pale. To be able to detect her Withering Heart and accurately find the antidote, this man must be very powerful.
However, Withering Heart was a rare recipe in May's Night Ridge. How did he know? Even the Shi family had never heard of this kind of alchemy product before they entered May's Night Ridge.
Withering Heart was special. A day after inhaling it, one's heart would suddenly stop, and they would die. There was no trace of it after death, and the symptoms were similar to a natural death.
Every new sect that entered May's Night Ridge would receive some recipes from the Ridge Society. These recipes could help the new sects quickly improve their skills. Withering Heart was one of them.
Ye Chong stood up, his eyes not lingering on Shi Mingbei's waist. On the contrary, his eyes were cold and heavy, making Shi Mingbei's heart beat wildly.
"Kid! Didn't you hear what I said? "The man who yelled was angry at Ye Chong for not taking him seriously.
"Speak, why?" Ye Chong's plain words were cold, as he stared at the pale Shi Mingbei on the ground. (To be continued, if you want to know what happened next, please log on to WWW .CMFU. com. More chapters. Support the author, support the original reading!)
