To Chen Xiaobei, it was not a big deal if they treated him poorly, but he could not tolerate them treating Luo Puti poorly.
Zhuo Qunfeng was good at reading people's expressions. He quickly tried to smooth things over. "My Junior Sister is used to living in the mountains. She's a little averse to worldly etiquette. I hope Mr. Chen and Ms. Luo won't mind."
"Oh, I see. I thought she was feeling inferior and was too embarrassed to shake my wife's hand!" Chen Xiaobei pursed his lips.
Even though Zhuo Qunfeng's reason made sense, even an idiot could tell that Wang Mengyu was not averse to worldly etiquette. She was just plain hostile.
Chen Xiaobei was someone who could be persuaded by reason but not cowed by force. Wang Mengyu's hostility only made him feel worse.
"What kind of nonsense are you talking about? I'm the granddaughter of the Kunlun Faction's fifth elder! I have status, power, wealth, and resources that you will never be able to achieve in your entire life! What do I have to feel inferior about?! "
Wang Mengyu was not one to be trifled with. She had been holding back her anger all this while.
"That's because you're not as pretty as my wife." Chen Xiaobei shrugged.
"You … I …" Wang Mengyu was speechless. She stared at Luo Puti, desperately trying to find some flaws in Luo Puti's beauty to refute Chen Xiaobei.
However, even as a woman, Wang Mengyu could not find any flaws in Luo Puti's body.
Full marks for looks, full marks for elegance, and full marks for figure.
She was wearing a pair of jeans today, which accentuated Luo Puti's long and sexy legs. The other perverts around her were already turning their heads to look at her.
This was awkward. Wang Mengyu's face turned red and green. She could not find any flaws in Luo Puti's body. She gritted her teeth. How could there be such a beautiful woman in this world?! How infuriating!
"Hmph!"
Wang Mengyu had nothing else to say. She gritted her teeth, stomped her feet, and left angrily.
"What's wrong with her? We didn't offend her, did we? Why does it sound like there's a grudge between us? "Chen Xiaobei asked.
"Sigh, this girl is Eldest Senior Brother's die-hard fan … Because you guys arrived later than the scheduled time, Eldest Senior Brother and the others set off first, leaving Fifth Junior Sister, who has the weakest cultivation, to accompany me …"
Zhuo Qunfeng said, "Fifth Shimei was not able to travel with Eldest Shixiong, so of course she's angry. I hope Mr. Chen will forgive her."
"Erm … I see …" Chen nodded and said, "As long as she does not mess with my wife, I will not stoop to her level."
"Yes, yes, yes … I'll let her know later." Zhuo Qunfeng nodded.
Zhuo Qunfeng had already warned Wang Mengyu not to provoke Chen Xiaobei.
But this lady was too proud of herself. She was used to being spoiled since she was young. Her seniors and juniors in Kunlun Faction had to give her some respect. Chen was just an ordinary person. She did not care about him at all.
"Who else is coming with us this time?" Chen skipped the previous topic and asked.
"Our Kunlun Sect has a total of 16 people," said Zhuo Qunfeng. "Apart from the grandchildren of the Sect Master and the five Core Elders, there are also 10 core disciples. In addition, sixteen people from the Xingxiu Faction will be coming along as well! "
"Xingxiu Sect? What's going on? Why are there people from other factions? "Chen Xiaobei asked curiously.
"Why do you have dealings with evil sects?" Luo Puti frowned. She seemed to be prejudiced against Xingxiu Faction.
As the chief inspector of Six Doors Organization, Luo Puti had a better understanding of Jianghu than Chen Xiaobei.
"Erm, Ms. Luo is right. Xingxiu Faction is an evil sect, but we have to bring them along on this trip …"
Zhuo Qunfeng explained. "Ms. Luo must have studied my grandfather's manuscripts. There are a lot of poisonous snakes and scorpions in the desert!"
"Yes … Other than that, there are poisonous springs and poisonous plants." Luo Puti nodded.
"Yes! That's why we invited Xingxiu Faction to join us! Xingxiu's poison art is unparalleled in Jianghu. There are many strange poisons that even modern medicine cannot cure. Only Xingxiu Faction can! "Zhuo Qunfeng said.
"I see. I was being a little extreme. Yin and Yang are balanced, and good and evil are interdependent. Letting them travel together will be very helpful to us!" Luo Puti nodded, agreeing with Xingxiu Faction.
Chen Xiaobei, on the other hand, looked nonchalant. As long as it was a real poison, there was no poison that Chen Xiaobei could not cure.
"I'm glad that Ms. Luo understands."
Zhuo Qunfeng changed the topic. "Elder Shixiong and the others left half a day earlier than us. We have to pick up our pace and catch up to them before the sky turns dark!"
Obviously, the expedition team would not be riding camels like in the movies when they entered the desert.
Compared to a martial artist's leg strength, camels were weak.
Raiding on foot was the fastest way.
"Alright. We didn't prepare anything. We'll listen to you." Luo Puti said.
Chen Xiaobei did not say anything and followed behind.
…
After leaving the airport, the group took a car to the edge of the desert and began to travel on foot.
According to Zhuo Qunfeng, drinking water, food, tents, sleeping bags … these were all carried by the core disciples. As long as they caught up to them, they would definitely have enough supplies.
Chen Xiaobei and Luo Puti did not prepare anything. They just wanted to eat and use what Zhuo Qunfeng had.
When they first entered the desert, they were very relaxed. Their speed was even faster than a plane.
Of course, despite their speed, they had to stop every once in a while to get their bearings.
In the vast desert, the scenery around them was almost the same. If they deviated even a little, they would get further and further away from their destination!
Moreover, in the desert, the GPS signal was intermittent. Most of the time, they had to rely on themselves to get their bearings. It was very difficult.
Fortunately, although Luo Puti did not prepare anything, she had been studying Zhuo Qunfeng's grandfather's manuscript for the past week.
When it came to identifying directions, Luo Puti was even more familiar than Zhuo Qunfeng. She had helped Zhuo Qunfeng a lot along the way.
Aside from identifying directions, everything else went smoothly.
Of course, this was only the periphery of the Western Desert. The real danger lay near the Black Desert.
As for the real Black Desert, no one knew what it looked like.
Even Zhuo Qunfeng's grandfather had only gotten close to the Black Desert. He had never actually entered it.
…
With Luo Puti's help, the journey was a lot smoother. As night fell, they managed to catch up with the main group.
Sixteen tents were placed around the campfire. Groups of two or three youths were eating and chatting casually.
When they saw Zhuo Qunfeng and his group approaching, everyone's attention was drawn to them.
"Elder Shixiong! You guys are so mean! You didn't even wait for me to eat dinner! "Wang Mengyu ran over to a handsome young man. She was infatuated with him.
However, the young man did not seem to hear her. He ignored her completely. The other wolves fell silent as well.
