After entering, Leng Ruoxue and the others were even more astonished because just the yard was luxurious and spacious enough to make people dumbfounded. Moreover, there were many rooms in the yard. From the appearance alone, the dazzling aura was absolutely comparable to the main hall of an imperial palace…

“No wonder even mystics are bandits,” Old Zao said with a sense of inferiority. Boohoo… He had never lived in such a good house in all his life.

“Yes, I want to be a bandit too.” Leng Ruoxue nodded in agreement. No matter how noble a mystic’s status was, they probably wouldn’t be able to earn as quickly as bandits! This was a no-brainer business!

After hearing what Leng Ruoxue said, Lan Ming was at a loss for words. Aren’t you doing what bandits do now?

“Miss, it’s not easy being a bandit now either!” Zheng En complained with a bitter face.

“Why?” Leng Ruoxue asked in puzzlement.

“As a bandit, you have to be prepared to be killed at any time. Moreover, the first rule of being a bandit is that robbery is allowed but absolutely not killing. Otherwise, once you become the public enemy of the entire continent, everyone will kill you,” Zheng En explained.

“Didn’t those bandits say that they wanted to kill us just now?” Leng Ruoxue said speechlessly.

“Actually, they were just scaring you. They wouldn’t have really killed you. But there was really a possibility of selling him for some money. After all, they can’t work for nothing!” Zheng En pointed at Lan Ming. Unfortunately, the bandits kicked an iron plate this time and were wiped out instead.

“Haha, those bandits have good taste. He can indeed sell for a good price.” Leng Ruoxue smiled happily.

“But I’m curious. Where would they have sold Old Lan?” Leng Ruoxue asked.

“There are many places, such as to the daughters of noble families who like beauty,” Zheng En said.

“Ooohhhh!” Leng Ruoxue deliberately dragged it out, causing Lan Ming to roll his eyes.

“Miss, actually, I only had a cooperative relationship with those bandits,” Zheng En continued.

“What kind of cooperation?” Leng Ruoxue asked curiously.

“They provided me with all sorts of herbs, and I had to strengthen their imposing manner because I was the strongest among them!” Zheng En said helplessly. Alas! He had no choice but to ally with those bandits for the sake of herbs! Boohoo…

“Those bandits were quite smart. They really knew how to use you to intimidate people,” Leng Ruoxue praised.

“So what? They still died in your hands.” Zheng En looked at Lan Ming. He knew that this man was very strong from the moment he saw him.

“Miss, all the treasures they robbed over the years are here.” While speaking, Zheng En had already brought Leng Ruoxue and the others to an inconspicuous room.

“Open the door!” Leng Ruoxue ordered.

“Okay.” Zheng En opened the door with the key and led Leng Ruoxue and the others in…

Leng Ruoxue and the others walked into the room and saw the casually piled treasures. They no longer wanted to say anything…

“Lass! I think we should just become bandits too. With our strength, we will definitely rob more than them,” Old Zao suggested with shining eyes.

“Old Zao, this idea suits me very well!” Leng Ruoxue teased, but her eyes turned to Lan Ming.

“Why are you looking at me? I won’t stoop that low,” Lan Ming said resolutely.

“Really? I’ll wait and see!” Leng Ruoxue smiled deviously.

“Miss, do you really want to be a bandit?” Zheng En said dumbfoundedly. Was he destined to be unable to get rid of his identity as a bandit for the rest of his life? Boohoo…

Leng Ruoxue gave Zheng En a knock on the head and said with a smile, “Of course not. This young lady will only rob people who provoke me. Haha!”

“Oh, that’s good!” Zheng En was relieved. He didn’t want to be a bandit anymore. He had no choice in the past!

Leng Ruoxue unceremoniously stored all the treasures in the room into the bracelet and confidently claimed them…

“Lass, you’re rich this time. This wealth is enough to match the entire wealth of a medium-sized family,” Lan Ming said.

“This isn’t enough either!” Leng Ruoxue said gloomily with a frown. Boohoo… There are too many family members.

“This isn’t enough? How many people are there in your family?” Lan Ming asked in disbelief.

“Too many,” Leng Ruoxue said with a slight headache.

“…” Lan Ming was speechless. If this amount of wealth wasn’t enough to support them, then there must be a lot of people in their family.

Leng Ruoxue turned to Zheng En. “Zheng En, let’s stay here for the night and leave tomorrow.”

“Okay, Miss. But where are we going?” Zheng En asked curiously.

“To Carefree City,” Leng Ruoxue said.

“Ah! Carefree City! Miss, can I not go?” Zheng En said with a troubled expression.

“Why?” Leng Ruoxue looked at Zheng En doubtfully, her watery eyes saying, ‘Give me a reasonable explanation’.

“I… I don’t want to go to Carefree City,” Zheng En stammered.

“Give me a reason,” Leng Ruoxue half-ordered while glaring at Zheng En.

Zheng En braced himself and said honestly, “The Alchemist Association Headquarters is also in Carefree City, so I don’t want to go.” Boohoo… I wonder if Miss will chase me away after knowing about my past…

“Do you have any trouble with the Alchemy Association Headquarters?” Leng Ruoxue guessed, but her face was full of realization.

“Miss, actually… I’m an alchemist who was expelled from the Alchemist Association Headquarters. I’ve already been disqualified from being an alchemist, so I had no way of obtaining medicinal herbs. And as a last resort, I transacted with those bandits,” Zheng En explained with a pained expression.

“Ah! Could you be that Zheng En?” Lan Ming suddenly shouted. No wonder he found the name familiar. But it had been too long, so he couldn’t remember it immediately.

“Yes, I am the Zheng En who was expelled from the Alchemist Association Headquarters fifteen years ago.” Zheng En said coldly, his eyes full of hatred. Alas! It had been 15 years, but his heart still bled every time he thought about that matter.
