“Now, the people in the stronghold don’t dare to touch me at all. Even the village chief has to avoid me.”

“Huh?”

Upon hearing this, Sikong Wuyuan and Yuan Hehe were instantly dumbfounded and even somewhat incredulous.

“Ning Caichen, are you sure? Have you already reached such a position?”

Jiang Ming guessed what they were thinking and smiled.

“You may not believe it, but it is indeed like this. Chu Wanwan secretly has feelings for me and will not marry anyone but me. She even had a conflict with the village chief. Now, the village chief can’t control us anymore. However, we can’t rule out the possibility that he might use some tricks in the dark.”

As he spoke, he also described what had happened to the two of them.

Sikong Wuyuan heaved a sigh of relief.

“No matter what, the village chief definitely can’t do anything obvious. We can also leave quickly. However, he didn’t say that he wanted to give you the Yellow Gall Grass. This is still a big problem.”

“We already came this far. Why are we afraid of not having the Yellow Gall Grass? Even if we have to fight to the death with them, we can still obtain this Yellow Gall Grass. It’s just that the illness can’t be delayed. We still need to get the Yellow Gall Grass as soon as possible. We’ll sneak over in the middle of the night. No matter what, we can find the place where the Yellow Gall Grass is.”

Jiang Ming’s eyes flashed. He already had a plan.

Then, he suddenly heard Xu Chuchu’s voice.

“Jiu Zhu, tonight at eight o’clock, I’ll be waiting for you at Star Lake. At that time, I’ll give you the Yellow Gall Grass. If you believe me, then come. If you don’t believe me, then go and find the Yellow Gall Grass in this village by yourself.”

The voice was calm and mischievous. It was obviously Xu Chuchu.

Jiang Ming was stunned for a moment and felt strange.

How could Xu Chuchu appear and disappear like a ghost? She even knew where they were and talked to them.

This was really terrifying. Could it be some new technique?

“What’s wrong?” Sikong Wuyuan and Yuan Hehe also noticed that something was wrong with Jiang Ming. They could not help but worry. “Ning Caichen, what’s wrong? Why did you suddenly seem to have gone crazy? Did something happen?”

Jiang Ming immediately came back to his senses after hearing this. Then, he shook his head and said, “It’s nothing. I just suddenly spaced out. You guys continue to stay in the village. You don’t have to leave. The people in this village won’t say anything to you. We have to leave with the Yellow Gall Grass tomorrow night.”

Hearing this, Yuan Hehe was confused.

“Why don’t we go tonight? Why do we have to wait until tomorrow? Is there something going on with you tonight?”

He had a feeling that Jiang Ming was hiding something from them, but he also felt that he would tell them after a while.

As expected, Jiang Ming said lightly, “I can’t tell you about this for the time being, but you’ll know later.”

Upon hearing this, Sikong Wuyuan could not help but be wary. “Ning Caichen, don’t be fooled. Some people can’t be trusted easily. If you have anything to say, you must tell us. Why don’t we go with you? We’re very worried about your safety.”

Yuan Hehe nodded. “Yes, Ning Caichen. Did you meet someone? It’s fine if you don’t want to tell us, but you must protect yourself.”

Jiang Ming could not help but feel touched when he saw how worried the two of them were. Then, he said, “Don’t worry. I’m fine. That person won’t do anything to me. She can’t beat me. Don’t ask about it yet. When the time is right, I’ll definitely tell you. You have to believe me.”

Finally, he smiled. “You guys go back to your rooms first. I have to go and see Chu Wanwan.”

He had a vague feeling that Chu Wanwan was doing something that he could not know about.

If he went over now, he might be able to see all of this. At that time, it would be a good thing for him.

Sikong Wuyuan and Yuan Hehe saw that Jiang Ming seemed a little anxious. They urged him. “If you have something to do, go ahead. Everything is fine here. You don’t have to worry.”

Jiang Ming nodded and turned to leave.

Looking at his back, Yuan Hehe’s eyes were filled with confusion. “Ning Caichen seems to be very busy recently. I don’t know what he’s dealing with. I hope he won’t be deceived by anyone.”

“Don’t worry. With Ning Caichen’s brain, he definitely won’t be deceived. At worst, if he really is deceived, we’ll help him deal with the aftermath.”

Sikong Wuyuan patted Yuan Hehe’s shoulder and comforted him.

Yuan Hehe exhaled and nodded.

“That’s the only way. According to his personality, he should only tell us after the event. Let’s just wait quietly. What if it’s something good?”

“Maybe.”

Sikong Wuyuan nodded.

In fact, he knew that this matter was not so easy to talk about.

It might be a bad outcome, but right now, they could only trust Jiang Ming.

Sikong Wuyuan and Yuan Hehe left and returned to their rooms.

Just as Jiang Ming had said, when the two of them returned, the servants’ expressions were very normal, and they even looked respectful.

The two of them did not have the mood to rest. They sat in the room and pondered, planning to wait for Jiang Ming to come back.

On the other side, Chu Wanwan tried to find Chu Yuanxi’s traces. She looked around in the grass, but she was also extremely worried.

According to her understanding of Chu Yuanxi, he should be hiding here.

Thinking of this, she did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Chu Yuanxi said that they were meeting at the usual place, but after so long, she had long forgotten the usual place. How could she go there? She was just trying her luck.

In order to prevent others from hearing her, she did not dare to call out to Chu Yuanxi. She only dared to look around.

Fortunately, after searching for a while, Chu Yuanxi saw Chu Wanwan and quietly walked behind her.

The courtyard of this village was vast and had a variety of plants. There were tall banana trees all around. It was difficult to discover strangers hiding among them.

Chu Wanwan only felt a chill on her back. Then, she felt something wrapping around her waist.

She felt a chill run down her spine, and she shivered. Her eyes were filled with panic.

However, she did not dare to raise her voice and could only hiss in a low voice.

“Who are you? Why did he stay here? How did you get into the village?”

As she spoke, Chu Wanwan raised her hand and directly hit Chu Yuanxi. Her eyes were filled with killing intent.

This person was very bold. He actually dared to offend her.

Thinking of this, she was already furious.
