Quick Transmigration: Leisure
Chapter 263 A Bone Woman Who Sold Her Father to Bury Him (16)
The meeting hall.
The ten seats on the right were gradually filled. This group belonged to the logistics team, and their appearances varied, including men, women, young and old.
The head of the group even had a monkey squatting on it. After looking around a few times, the monkey dozed off.
The next seat was occupied by an elderly man, who was holding a book and looked sleepy as if he had stayed up all night. He had cat whiskers on his face.
The three men sat upright, their eyes fixed straight ahead. They were all the same size and had identical faces, so they must have been a male marsupial with three offspring from the same mother.
The sixth one is a baby snake that looks like a cub. Its upper body is cute, and its lower body has a tail that sways gently and doesn't touch the ground.
The seventh and eighth women are sisters, each with her own unique beauty. Judging from the shape of their veils, they should be deer antlers.
Xia Youmi sat in the ninth position and symbolically armed herself by wrapping her wrists with bandages.
Although Fox You was sitting at the back, she had already greeted everyone and even whispered to the blue-robed guard behind her.
Apart from it, only the two sisters were exchanging pleasantries, while everyone else waited in silence.
......
About fifteen minutes later,
There was some noise coming from outside.
From a distance, they could be seen as neat, white figures.
Fox and the others thought it was a secret team trained by the city lord's mansion, and happily got up.
Only upon closer inspection could one see that it was the uniform of students from Huai Academy.
However, the disappointment was quickly overshadowed by the joy of acquaintances.
Many of the half-demons greeted a few of the students, presumably because they had attended classes taught by the half-demons for free.
Xia Youmi lowered her head.
A strange urge to leave the team welled up within me.
Why are all nine people who have come here the same ones I've seen in Duanshufang, Shun'an Town?
The discussions about the White Bone Demon are still fresh in my mind, and I even changed my name because of it. Could it really be such a coincidence?
She kept an eye on the gossip in Anle City but didn't hear any related comments.
Moreover, the purchase of the pine coffin was handled by Hu You through an acquaintance in the shop; Xia Youmi did not show up at all.
It took several turns!
Fortunately, as they looked at each other, she could sense that the students of the academy did not have any unusual feelings towards her.
At least, looking at her is no different from looking at Hu You, and I'm even more enthusiastic about Hu You.
The young master who was in the center that day is on the left.
Fox whispered to her as he introduced them.
His name is Cai Wenle, he is eighteen years old, and he is the most powerful and influential person in Huai Academy in recent years. His word is law.
Perhaps there are more capable people in previous years or in the shadows, but he is the most high-profile.
He is almost universally known as a spoiled young master from a powerful family.
The two men following behind him were Zhuang Yong, who was twenty-three years old. He had followed Cai Wenle all the way from the capital and considered himself his follower.
In his spare time, he would also teach the half-demons at the school under the academy.
The other person was Cai Wenle's servant, named Cai Fu. He was not a student, but was responsible for taking care of his daily needs.
The six people sitting in the back.
With Hu You's introduction and the sisters' supplementary information, Xia Youmi was able to match the identity information with the person fairly accurately.
The reason is still the same: they are all too famous.
They either come from good families, have excellent grades, or possess outstanding temperament and appearance, making them unforgettable.
The last to sit were the three impoverished individuals.
They are,
Lu Zhe, 30 years old; He Shufang, 22 years old; Ning Zhuxin, 18 years old.
Their academic aura was so obvious, combined with their familiarity with the half-demon and the academy's subsidies for students. One could glimpse their financial struggles, their dedication to their studies, and their unwavering will.
However, their uniform expressions were not good.
If one possesses the formidable strength of a demon cultivator, perhaps making a fortune on such a trip would be well worth it.
However, once you go deep into the mountains, just being good at studying won't guarantee you'll be at the mercy of others.
They must have made the worst-case scenario plan before daring to step into this council chamber.
"They were probably coerced."
"I think so."
Even the sisters beside them noticed and cast sympathetic glances at the three of them.
But this pity,
When my gaze fell on the three people in the middle, my silence was overshadowed.
The three of them were dressed in a low-key yet elegant manner. It is said that they were special students in the academy, possessing a unique skill.
Their family background was neither particularly good nor bad, but enough to make them extravagant.
The most crucial element is the uniqueness of the skills, coupled with the screening of personnel based on their appearance and character.
This gave the small group considerable influence, and they treated other factions fairly, ignoring them equally.
These three people are Song Yue, Rong Jiao, and Rong Shen.
The latter two were brothers, but Rong Jiao was implicitly considered superior.
......
As the council chamber gradually quieted down, a person walked in from the side.
As soon as he stood up, dozens of blue-robed guards behind him greeted him in unison.
The loud, clear voices startled the dozing group awake.
After the nineteen outsiders also stood up, he introduced himself:
"Gentlemen, I am the commander of the City Lord's personal guard, and also the captain of this expedition!"
"Hello, Captain!"
"Captain Lin!" Quite a few people already knew Lin He. He could be considered a representative figure in the half-demon world, and he had been by the city lord's side for many years.
It is said that he is the adopted son of Miss Du, the mother of the city lord, and is inseparable from the city lord.
There are also rumors that Lin He's mother was a young lady surnamed Lin whom Miss Du saved back then, but she did not survive, so Lin He has always taken his mother's surname.
"I'm sure you all know how difficult this mission will be. My guards and I will do our best to ensure your safety, but everyone must follow orders!"
"Yes!"
"Furthermore, regarding the miasma forest..."
Lin He explained in detail how to help ordinary people get through the miasma forest.
To put it simply, we used what we had on hand.
In the early days,
Because there are many humans or half-demons traveling to and from the forest area, doctors have already developed a pill that can help them get through it.
However, once you've roughly left the forest area, you'll need to continuously collect and process the herbs on the spot.
Furthermore, the effects of the medicine vary depending on the region.
It cannot be prepared perfectly at once; we must try and adjust the experiment again.
This is simply playing with human lives! In an instant, Xia Youmi understood the role of those three civilian representatives.
Moreover, the physician in this practice is of paramount importance.
Who knows if the miracle doctor is human or a demon? If he's human, then there's a risk involved. If he's a demon, how can one expect his medicine to be absolutely effective against humans?
The half-demons present all frowned.
After Lin He finished explaining the general situation, he asked everyone if they had any further questions.
Then the snake baby spoke first: "Uncle Lin, since it's so dangerous, why are so many people going into the mountains!"
This childlike voice quickly gained the approval of the half-demons.
"Why can't we go!" But the student on the other end was not willing to give up and retorted.
"It's still too early to tell who's dragging whom down!"
For a time,
The atmosphere between the two sides was somewhat tense.
Fox tried to mediate, saying, "There must be a reason for the city lord's arrangement."
"But this isn't a picnic. For the sake of these kids, we have to specially invite Sister Lu and Little Sister Lu to go on this adventure together."
"It's alright for us, as long as the city lord needs it," the twin sisters explained helplessly.
"Alright! Stop arguing." Cai Wenle was getting impatient, but someone still retorted, "Why should we listen to you!"
"Ahem, just me!"
