The Evil Emperor's Beloved

"Wait!" Gan Yi, who had caught up, hurriedly stopped them and looked at the group of thirty or so people. It was obvious that they were not easy to mess with. He was afraid that his ignorant sister would accidentally offend someone who should not be messed with.

Gan Yi stood between the two teams and saluted the mercenaries. "Let's discuss this. We are students from Yunhai College and are currently undergoing a trial. Please forgive me if I have offended you without your knowledge."

At this time, several other members of the team also stood behind Gan Yi, looking at each other with vigilance.

The mercenary leader didn't speak, and the other people in the mercenary group wouldn't speak at this time.

The mercenary leader looked them up and down. As the saying goes, one should not hit a smiling person, especially since they were from the academy. They had to give them some face.

The leader of the mercenaries raised his hand to signal, and the mercenaries put away their weapons.

Seeing this situation, Gan Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then looked up at Gan Yun.

Gan Yun was a little unwilling to accept it, but under the pressure of her brother's power and with so many people watching her, she had no choice but to compromise.

At this time the leader said, "Leave quickly, this is not a place for you to stay!"

Gan Yun immediately became angry and said, "What do you mean? Why can't we be here?"

Gan Yi felt a headache, and the situation that had just been calmed down was instantly broken.

The mercenary leader didn't even raise his eyelids. The burly mercenary next to him said disdainfully, "Ha! Just because we have more people!"

Gan Yun wanted to say something but was stopped by Gan Yi. If eyes could kill, Gan Yun would have been tortured to death.

"Shut up!" Gan Yi shouted at Gan Yun.

Then he turned and looked at the mercenary group.

He stepped forward and bowed again, "Everyone, it's not that we don't want to leave, it's just that our mission this time is to go here..."

Before Gan Yi could finish his words, he was interrupted by the mercenary who had just responded, "I don't care what mission you have. I'm going to teach you a lesson, but you're really taking advantage of me."

As he spoke, he glanced at Gan Yi and his group, and then he continued, "Today, this place can only belong to our Vulture Mercenary Group."

"If you know what's best for you, get out of here right away. Otherwise, don't blame me for bullying the weak with my numbers."

"You bunch of noobs are not enough for Grandpa to chop down all by himself, hahaha!..."

“Hahahaha…hahaha…” Everyone in the mercenary group also started laughing, and the sarcasm could not be more obvious.

The faces of the people standing behind Gan Yi turned pale. Gan Yi himself had not expected that this group of people would be so unyielding.

Gan Yun's face turned red. She had never been ridiculed like this since she was a child.

Jing Yueli, who had been observing this place from a distance, only noticed at this time that there was a vulture embroidered on the chest of the mercenaries' clothes.

"Vulture Mercenary Group!" I just don't know what level of power this mercenary group has on Fantasy Moon Island.

Jing Yueli looked at Li Luo and Li Yu beside her, and they both shook their heads.

Obviously, they were not familiar with the mercenary group. It seemed that Li Feng and his team did not get any news before leaving Xuanyuan Kingdom.

Jing Yueli knew that there were groups like mercenaries on the island. Mo Yunyu had mentioned it before, but she didn't pay much attention to it at the time, so she didn't ask in detail.

Judging from the current situation, the reputation of the academy is of little use in front of mercenaries like these.

In Jing Yueli's impression, when it comes to Huanyue Island, the first thing that comes to mind is the three major academies. However, now it is obvious that the academy may not be able to surpass the mercenary group.

This has to make people think deeply.

Gan Yun wanted to take a step forward, but the mercenary leader gave him a look and froze him in place.

"Gan Yun, stop!" He attacked almost at the same time as the mercenary leader, and with a flash he pulled Gan Yun behind him.

Gan Yi was also frightened by Gan Yun's actions. He saw that this person's strength was above theirs. At this time, Gan Yun still wanted to step forward without knowing the danger. She wanted to kill all of them.

"My sister is ignorant, please don't bother with her." Gan Yi bowed and apologized to the mercenaries again, and signaled their team to make way.

The mercenaries were frightened when they saw the group from their academy, and they felt that there was no point in playing around. One of them muttered to the person next to him, "These freshmen are far worse than before!"

Jing Yueli heard these words clearly!

"Heh!" Jing Yueli curled the corners of her lips and finally realized what was wrong.

Just as the mercenaries were preparing to walk into the cave, the mercenary leader paused slightly and turned his head to look at the bushes in the dense forest in the distance. This action seemed normal to others, but Jing Yueli in the distance had her hair standing on end.

Although it was only a moment, Jing Yueli knew that she must have been discovered.

No matter how well you hide, in the face of absolute strength, all disguises are in vain.

It has been a long time since I last felt this way, Jing Yueli almost forgot it. During this period of time, I was only focused on moving forward step by step, forgetting that dreams need to match strength. At this moment, Jing Yueli is eager to improve her strength.

On Fantasy Moon Island, every bit of it reveals that this is a land where strength is respected.

"Master? Should we follow them?" Li Luo asked when he saw Jing Yueli didn't move.

Jing Yueli came back to her senses and looked towards the cave entrance again, but there was no one there.

Gan Yi and his team were no longer there.

Jing Yueli released her spiritual sense to investigate again, and as they saw, Gan Yi's team had indeed left the range of the fifth mission point, and Gan Yun was confronting Gan Yi unconvinced.

Inside the cave, Jing Yueli could only explore about ten meters into the cave, and her spiritual sense could not reach any further.

In order to avoid danger, Jing Yueli said to Li Luo and the others, "You stay with everyone else and find a place to hide. I will go and take a look alone."

Her decision was immediately opposed by the two.

Jing Yueli would not tolerate any objection from others at this time. She just said, "You have seen what happened just now. The strength of the mercenary group is simply overwhelming for us now. I can't let everyone take this risk together. The reason why I decided to go alone is that I must be able to protect myself. I can't guarantee that if I bring you along, it might even make things worse."

After hearing what Jing Yueli said, Li Luo and Li Yu immediately understood what Jing Yueli meant. Although they didn't know what self-protection ability Jing Yueli was talking about, after getting along with her for such a long time, they all knew that Jing Yueli had some skills that they didn't know about. For example, sometimes when they were guarding outside her door that day, they could clearly feel that there was no one in the room, but she could appear in the room safely the next day.

Li Yu and Li Luo stopped trying to persuade them, and went to arrange for the rest of the team. Before they separated, the team members repeatedly reminded them to withdraw immediately if there was any danger, and they did not care about the so-called top ten places.

Jing Yueli felt a little warm in her heart and nodded to show that she understood.
