Quick Transmigration: Leisure

"My disciple! Ah!" Doctor Bu cried out in grief, his voice rough and hoarse.

"Who did this! How are you protecting people?!"

"Tell the city lord I'm angry, and you'll all be in trouble!" The indescribable roar continued, causing several half-demons with good hearing to frown and move further away.

The shouts were about to alert the potential dangers in the woods.

The blue-robed guards formed a circle and invited Lin He to step forward.

“We’ve demarcated the area and clearly stated that no one is allowed to leave. Judging from the marks, your apprentice was bitten to death by an uncivilized demon beast outside of that area,” Lin He explained calmly.

The rat demon was small and had a high-pitched voice. Having run such a long distance, it was unlikely that they would hear it even if it called for help.

Therefore, the guards cannot be blamed for dereliction of duty.

The onlookers looked at each other in bewilderment.

This was the last night before leaving the forest area. I thought we were still in a safe place, so I left only two guards on duty so that more people could get some rest.

As it turns out, the unexpected always happens so quickly.

But Bu Yu looked indignant and continued to point at the guards on duty and curse.

"Ha, old man!"

"It's your own fault!" came a nonchalant voice.

"What did you say!"

"Cough, I remember clearly, you said you wanted to eat the secret fruit and asked your apprentice to pick some for you tonight." Old Cat flipped through the book in his hand and clicked his tongue at Bu Yu, "You even specified the location, outside the designated area, even though Captain Lin clearly said we couldn't go out. For the sake of your appetite, you harmed your own apprentice, and you still dare to blame the guards?"

"what!"

"Tsk tsk!"

Upon hearing this, those who had previously sided with Doctor Bu and feared the guards' dereliction of duty immediately began to condemn him.

Old Man Bu Yu's face alternated between pale and flushed. He had only heard that the secret fruit from this place was the most effective. He had a fleeting thought, but he never intended to cause his disciple's death!

Ultimately, it was because they didn't take Lin He and the others' arrangements seriously.

Xia Youmi was more interested in the old cat's booklet.

She had originally intended to recommend Foxy to do this as well, but unexpectedly, Foxy had no skill like Old Cat! Every move he made was expressed through his writing.

"Hmph! I'm not going to Wuxiang Mountain, send me back!" Bu Yu was furious and tried to use his own power to force Lin He to suppress the old cat and other half-demons to apologize to him.

Judging from her expression, Bu Yu did indeed seem somewhat reluctant to go.

Without the rat demon, who would serve him all the way? He might not even get a good outcome.

Unexpectedly,

Lin He readily agreed, "You don't have to go. You can go back on your own."

"You! Without me, how would we deal with the miasma, how would we find the Lonely Lamp Immortal Herb!" Bu Yu gritted his teeth, staring hatefully at the guard team, especially Lin He.

At this moment, he probably realized that this team could truly disregard his life or death.

"That's our business. You should decide soon! Whether to stay or leave!" Lin He was quite assertive, returning all his previous disdain to Doctor Bu Yu.

"I, I don't..."

Just before Bu Yu was about to back out and say he was leaving.

An unexpected person interrupted, "Uncle, stop joking! You're willing to serve the city magistrate and go find the Lonely Lamp Immortal Herb!"

"Right!" Cai Wenle smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, making Bu Yu feel uncomfortable.

He bit his tongue; the stinging pain brought him clarity.

He bowed to Lin He and said, "Captain Lin, what I, your nephew, said is true. No matter what, the matters entrusted by the city lord are of utmost importance."

"Alright, I'll give you the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to get ready."

Lin He didn't press the matter further and led the guard team to rest on the spot.

Bu Yu was stunned for a long time before realizing that it was giving him time to collect the rat demon's corpse.

The broken rat demon on the ground was cold and lifeless, revealing little sincerity.

People either scorned or felt sorry for him.

......

This interlude

It appears that no conflict occurred.

However, many subtle things quietly changed as the journey went on.

Cai Wenle no longer pretended to be low-key; he was the one in charge of this trip, and could even influence Doctor Bu's every move.

It was obvious from the previous conversation that Bu Yu was smug.

He was clearly proactive in getting his nephew to come along.

Looking back now, this is not the whole picture.

The other three students from the academy, a trio of impoverished individuals, were not like lambs to the slaughter, waiting to be guinea pigs for others.

After getting through the initial adaptation period and leaving the forest area, they began to actively and systematically investigate various aspects of the mountains and forests.

Xia Youmi could also see that they were drawing a map, and the key points they marked were obviously different from the simple route maps sold outside.

The three, neither high nor low in status, are sticking together and keeping a low profile.

They are more focused on maintaining their physical fitness and health, seemingly preparing to conserve their energy for an even bigger and more severe crisis.

They are completely indifferent to the conflicts between humans and demons, the scenery, the food, the geological conditions, etc.

Even Hu You couldn't get into their small team. You know, even the most difficult Cai Wenle could chat with Hu You for a bit.

However, it wouldn't stand out even in a team of thirty people.

As long as he doesn't cause trouble, Lin He doesn't care.

As long as he doesn't get seriously ill, Xia Youmi doesn't care.

but,

Xia Youmi is hypocritical.

Occasionally, if Sister Lu or Sister Lu accidentally cut themselves or got bitten by mosquitoes, Xia Youmi would diligently wander around the forest, gather some herbs, and apply them to their wounds on the spot.

They would also receive a gift in return from the sisters, sometimes a flower, sometimes a small snack.

Ever since witnessing the old cat's abilities, Xia Youmi decided to make a little more noise about her treatments. Every time she finished treating a half-demon, she would make a point of showing off in front of the old cat.

Watching him write things down in his notebook.

In the future, I'll feel at ease receiving the reward money.

Bu Yu ignored any of the half-demon's ailments.

At first, no one could tell.

It wasn't until they left the near-forest area and entered a more complex environment that Bu Yu began preparing the first antidote for the forest miasma for the students.

He then adopted an air of superiority, remaining aloof and indifferent to matters that didn't concern him.

Quietly take the best of all resources, but eat more and do less.

If any of the guards are poisoned or accidentally sprain their ankles, they cannot persuade Bu Yu to come.

He could easily retort with a single sentence: the city lord invited him to gather herbs, not to be responsible for the entire team's health.

At the very least, didn't you hire a junior doctor to accompany you?

Go find her!

Lin He cherished his subordinates, and the guards also protected his reputation. Even when faced with simple ailments, they would tough it out themselves, resolutely refusing to let their captain beg that unscrupulous old man.

I occasionally wanted to talk to Xia Youmi, but she was either sleeping or somewhere gathering herbs.

The guards weren't familiar with her, and after thinking for a moment, they didn't say anything.

It wasn't until Xia Youmi started hanging around in front of the old cat that Lin He noticed her, and then Hu You acted as a go-between.

That's how the connection was established.

There was still a sliver of light in the sky.

When it was time to set up camp and rest, after Lin He organized a patrol of the surrounding area, the two sisters started a fire to cook.

A young half-demon wolf was carried over.

Its face still showed unease, quite different from its usual seriousness.

"Miss Mi, I'm begging you." Lin He explained to Xia Youmi in a low voice.

The half-demon wolf's awkwardness intensified, filled with resistance.

"Okay!" Xia Youmi frowned, why did she look like she was afraid of being eaten?
