After staying in the guesthouse for one night, Hua Rendong woke up early the next morning and saw a jeep parked at the door of the guesthouse. Hua Rendong had never seen the person who brought the jeep before. After Xia Yu introduced him to her, Hua Rendong learned that the man was Qi Zhi, and he was also from the department.

The Qi family was originally a prominent family in Beijing, and they were also related to the emperor. However, due to the unrest in the early years, the family had to migrate, and after many years of displacement, they finally settled in Yun Province.

There are also many people with special abilities in the Qizhi family, most of whom are related to snakes and insects. The spider that has gone on missions with them is a member of the Qi family.

However, the Qi family's roots are now in Yun Province. Although they joined the department, only Spider went to Beijing, and the rest stayed in Yun Province, occasionally going out on missions. It can be said that the current apparent stability of Yun Province has a lot to do with the Qi family.

Qi Zhi's accent was very heavy, and Hua Rendong listened for a long time but couldn't understand. The rare thing was that Xia Yu actually nodded repeatedly while listening.

After Qi Zhi left, Hua Rendong asked, "How could you understand what he said? I didn't understand a word of it."

Xia Yu spread his hands, "Who said I understood? Didn't you see that I just nodded?"

Hua Rendong thought about how she just nodded with a smile, which was indeed not like Xia Yu's character. Although he seemed quite cold to outsiders, he was quite talkative in front of people in the department. He even had the potential to be a bit of a nanny, especially when it came to tasks. He would remind everyone he could, and remind them again and again, for fear that the people below would lose their lives due to negligence.

He's usually quite talkative, so it's really odd for him to just nod politely and seriously like this.

After getting in the car, Xia Yu stepped on the accelerator and the jeep sped away.

The place they were going to was several hours' drive from here, and several hours' walk, and then they had to climb a mountain. Even if they got up early, they wouldn't be able to climb the mountain tonight.

Xia Yu was driving and Hua Rendong was sitting in the passenger seat. At first, they could still chat for a few words, but after sitting in the car together for so long, they were too familiar with each other and there was really nothing to talk about. Hua Rendong took snacks from the space and fed Xia Yu from time to time. They could also talk about the taste of the snacks, and the atmosphere was very warm.

After driving for more than an hour, the car entered a mountain road. The road was narrow and full of bends. From time to time, there were fallen rocks rolling down the mountain. The car was driving very slowly, but the scenery was beautiful. Hua Honeysuckle couldn't help but take out a camera from the space and started taking pictures.

She could even feel that there was more spiritual energy in the air. This was just the outer periphery of the mountain. If she went deeper into the mountains, she didn't know how dense the spiritual energy would be.

Xia Yu saw her joy and knew that this trip was the right one. Thinking of his arrangements in the mountains, Xia Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Hua Rendong gave him a strange look: This man has been acting weird since he arrived in Yun Province, and I always feel like he is up to something bad. Is he planning something on her?

In the past, she was very confident that she could easily deal with Xia Yu, but ever since he started practicing, his abilities had improved by leaps and bounds. She was not sure who would be more powerful in a real fight. After all, his lightning abilities were too powerful. If he threw a lightning ball at her, whether she was hit or scraped by it, it would be enough to hurt her.

Xia Yu turned around and saw Hua Rendong staring at him with a wary look. He was so angry, "What's that look? Are you afraid that I'll sell you out?"

Hua Rendong laughed dryly, "How could that be possible? The leader will need me in many ways in the future, so he will definitely be reluctant to let me go."

After saying that, he winked at Xia Yu, as if asking: Am I right?

Xia Yu shook his head helplessly, his eyes full of doting, "Yes, I can't bear to leave you!"

Hua Honeysuckle let out a long sigh, but then she came to her senses and felt that what he said was a little weird. Could he really mean what she thought?

Afterwards, Hua Rendong wanted to ask something but didn't know how. Xia Yu didn't say a word except for occasionally laughing, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.

Hua Honeysuckle simply started eating snacks and ignored the man with the silly smile. But Xia Yu turned his head over from time to time, opening his mouth and waiting for her to feed him.

Hua Honeysuckle deliberately took a bag of lemon candies that would make your teeth sour and stuffed them into his mouth. Xia Yu was not prepared for her revenge, and after he put them in his mouth, his face became distorted with sourness.

Hua Honeysuckle was laughing beside him, and when Xia Yu looked over, he asked seriously, "What's wrong?"

Xia Yu glanced at the bag of candies in her hand and asked, "Is this also made by Chef Luo?"

Hua Rendong was stunned. She was so focused on taking revenge on Xia Yu that she forgot that this bag of candy was made by Xu Xixi using space lemons. It was even sourer than the sour candies bought outside. Only Xu Xixi, who loved sour things, liked it. She gave her a bag, but she vomited after taking just one bite. Now her cheeks hurt when she thought of the sour taste.

But she couldn't say that, so Hua Honeysuckle started to talk nonsense, "How could that be possible? I bought this at the mall."

Xia Yu chuckled twice, not saying whether he believed it or not, just showing his aloofness.

Hua Rendong thought he was angry, so she took out a box of roast duck wrapped in lotus leaf pancake and started eating. Unexpectedly, Xia Yu leaned over again, so Hua Rendong fed him another bite.

This time, Xia Yu took a look before eating it, and only opened her mouth after making sure it was not some strange candy. Hua Jindong was speechless. Was this a lesson learned? How much did he distrust her?

At noon, they came to a sharp turn in the mountain road. At the turn, a woman was standing against the side of the cliff, waving at them from a distance.

Hua Rendong said, "I heard that in some places, people stop cars on the road. As soon as the car stops, a group of people will rush out and rob everything in the car."

Xia Yu asked: "Are you scared?"

"Not afraid!" Hua Rendong shook her head, excitement still shining in her eyes. Not to mention that she was not afraid, if someone really dared to rob them, that would be courting death.

So Xia Yu slowed down the car, and finally slowly stopped next to the man, rolled down the window, and asked, "Comrade, do you need help?"

The woman said anxiously, "Don't go forward. There's a pile of fallen rocks around the bend. Our car has been hit. Can you help me take the driver back to the city?"

Although the woman spoke with a slight accent, she didn't sound like a local, and her clothes were not the ethnic costumes commonly worn by locals.

Xia Yu and Hua Rendong exchanged glances, got out of the car together, and walked towards the scene of the accident the woman mentioned.

Not long after turning the corner, I saw a pile of rocks that had fallen from the top of the mountain blocking the road. Just after the sharp turn, a car was caught off guard and the front of the car hit the rocks hard, causing it to be dented.

The driver's head and face were covered in blood, and he lay motionless on the steering wheel.

Xia Yu went over and tried his nasal breathing, then touched his carotid artery, confirming that he was still alive, but if he continued like this, he would die soon.

After dragging the man out of the cab and laying him on the ground, they took out a bottle of medicine that they always had on hand for missions, pried open the man's mouth and fed him the medicine.
