Chapter 2033: Bandit Rumors

The middle-aged man was daydreaming, thinking this idea wasn't bad.

If his daughter and Ye Zhangqing could become a match, then in the future he, as her father-in-law, would have a bowl of rice to eat, and that wouldn't be......................

Just as he was thinking, his daughter's voice suddenly came.

"Dad, what are you thinking about?"

"Ah, I wasn't thinking about anything."

The sudden question made the middle-aged man startle; is his daughter really this perceptive? He hadn't even figured it out yet, and she had already sensed something.

He looked at his daughter with some apprehension, only to see her sizing him up with a suspicious look, her eyes full of distrust.

Facing his daughter's scrutiny, the middle-aged man could only give an embarrassed grin, using the smile to hide his nervousness.

Fortunately, the girl didn't press further; after finishing a big bowl of rice, she then gracefully wiped her mouth.

On the surface he seemed calm, but his heart still lingered over that bowl of food just now.

After eating, the middle-aged man took his son and daughter home, where the brother and sister also saw their mother.

That night, the middle-aged man told his wife his idea.

Unexpectedly, his wife not only did not oppose it, but was completely in favor.

"Your idea is not bad, but will Young Master Ye take a liking to our daughter?"

"What's wrong with our daughter? She's not a national beauty."

"That's what you say, but Young Master Ye isn't lacking..................."

"Well, for a man, having three wives and four concubines is quite normal; tomorrow I'll go give it a try."

"That's fine; you first go feel things out."

The next day, the middle-aged man indeed, as he and his wife had discussed, brought the game he had hunted and went to find Ye Zhangqing.

"Eh, Brother Wang, you've already gone into the mountains this early?"

Arriving at the canteen's backyard, Li Chengshan, seeing the situation, asked with a smile.

Hearing that, Wang Yu replied with a smile.

"Not bad luck; just entered the mountains and ran into you. By the way, is Young Master Ye here?"

"Just got up."

"Then I'll go look for him."

Wang Yu had been following Ye Zhangqing on their "travels" for several years, and everyone had become familiar with each other.

These days, Ye Zhangqing basically doesn't need to worry about these matters.

Arriving at the courtyard where Ye Zhangqing rested, there were already over a dozen people gathered, drinking tea and chatting.

Ye Zhangqing was among them.

When they had nothing to do, everyone gathered to drink tea, and Ye Zhangqing still liked this atmosphere.

Seeing Wang Yu come in, someone greeted him with a smile.

"Brother Wang, come, try my treasured immortal tea."

"Bichun, why are you being so generous today?"

"Get lost; when have I ever been stingy?"

They poured a cup of tea for Wang Yu as well, and everyone continued their previous topic.

"I've heard that recently a batch of bandits appeared, and several clans have been robbed."

"I've heard that too."

"Bandits, they haven't appeared for many years; how did they suddenly show up again?"

"Who knows? Moreover, it's said these people only want money, not lives."

What everyone was talking about were some recent rumors from the Immortal Realm, the foremost being that mysterious batch of bandits.

It was probably just a few months ago; this batch of bandits suddenly appeared, and no one knows where they came from.

This band of bandits moves unpredictably, looting any treasure.

Already several forces have fallen victim to them.

It's said that now several forces have joined together, actively pursuing this band of bandits.

Furthermore, this group seems not only to rob openly but also to steal.

The treasuries of several major sects have been stolen, and various clues all point to this group.

Recently, rumors about this group are everywhere in the Immortal Realm.

Some even say that this group calls itself the Thieves' Sect.

The people of the Immortal Realm have never heard of such a force; for a time they didn't know if it was real or fake, but it's quite mysterious.

Listening to everyone's discussion, Ye Zhangqing, who was surrounded by the crowd, had a somewhat strange expression.

Especially upon hearing the two words "Thieves' Sect," he unconsciously froze for a moment.

"Could it be..................."

He felt as if he had guessed something, but it should be impossible; his courage couldn't be that great, yet could this Thieves' Sect be too much of a coincidence?

Just as everyone said, the Immortal Realm has never heard of a sect called the Thieves' Sect.

Everyone was discussing various opinions; of course, it's basically all speculation, after all the identity of that group remains a mystery.

Even though several forces have been searching for the whereabouts of this batch of people, up to now there is still no conclusion.

Listening to everyone's discussion, Wang Yu had originally come to feel things out, but given the current situation, he also didn't know how to interject.

For a moment, he could only choose to stay silent.

Having things on his mind, he wasn't as concerned about this batch of bandits.

Since he was thinking about other things, he wasn't that concerned about the affairs of this bandit.

Anyway, it's none of my business; they robbed someone else, what does it have to do with the Wang family?

Until a Chuānyīn fú sliced through the void, directly entering Wang Yu's forehead; after receiving its content, Wang Yu was completely stunned.

Seeing Wang Yu's appearance, the people around also curiously asked.

"What's wrong?"

After receiving a Chuānyīn fú, he just stood there dazed; what big thing happened?

Faced with everyone's questioning gazes, Wang Yu remained silent for a moment, then spoke with a strange expression.

"The bandits you just mentioned............"

"What's up, you weren't listening nearby all along?"

"It seems............. they've robbed the Wang family."

"Huh???"

"What's going on?"

Just now everyone was merely chatting casually, not thinking of taking any action, but now the Wang family has been robbed, and for a moment everyone became interested involuntarily.

Under everyone's questioning, Wang Yu finally spoke.

It turned out the Wang family was transporting a batch of immortal crystals from their own immortal ore mine back home, but on the way they were seized by a group of mysterious people.

The entire batch of immortal crystals vanished without a trace.

After hearing Wang Yu's account, someone asked.

【67】 "What about the person? Are they okay? Those thieves basically only want wealth, not to harm lives."

What about that person? Is the person alright? Those bandits basically only want money, they don't kill.

"No one is hurt, though some were injured, but none are in mortal danger."

Relieved, upon hearing Wang Yu's words, everyone knew the Wang family had definitely encountered that band of thieves.

But did these thieves come to the Wuji Shanmai?

The Wang family's location is not far from the Wuji Shanmai to begin with; since the Wang family was robbed, it means those thieves are not far from them either.

"You say, those thieves won't come to our place, will they?"

As someone spoke those words, for a moment everyone present fell into silence.

"This gossip has hit our own heads?"

Originally we were just discussing that odd band of thieves, but suddenly they seemed to have set their sights on us.

At such a close distance, it's hard to guarantee that band of thieves won't target them.

After all, judging from the various rumors so far, aside from their mysterious identity and being only after wealth without harming lives, their actions can be described as utterly unscrupulous.

It's said that even the Pill King Immortal City was robbed in a wave.

This made the Pill King Immortal City furious, sending people to search for their whereabouts, but to this day they haven't found a single clue.

One could say these thieves' courage is absolutely beyond doubt, belonging to the kind that's boundlessly bold.
