Chapter 194: You'll Know Once You Catch Them

"Hmm," "Hmm," Ye Qingyu and Nangong Mengli woke up almost at the same time.

"Shh," both of them simultaneously put their small hands, which were like mutton-fat jade, to their lips and made a 'hush' gesture to each other. They were clearly afraid of waking Zhuge Tianxin. But once neither of them made any more sound, the atmosphere suddenly fell into a quiet state. Now, both of them were still lying in Zhuge Tianxin's arms, and both immediately blushed. Both of them were women, and they knew each other's little inner thoughts clearly.

However, although both blushed, they seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding, neither leaving Zhuge Tianxin's embrace, but instead smiling at each other before continuing to lie in Zhuge Tianxin's arms and falling asleep again.

"Sigh, it's really good to be young. It seems I really am old," Ye Qingyu and Nangong Mengli fell asleep again in Zhuge Tianxin's arms, and Blackie immediately drifted out and said with emotion.

"Damn it, where exactly did that kid run off to? We've been chasing for three days and haven't even found a single trace," Xing Feng sat on a giant rock and cursed loudly. Xing Feng had been searching for Zhuge Tianxin for three days with his Xing Feng Mercenary Group, but had still found nothing, which made Xing Feng very angry.

"Captain, do you remember the valley we passed two days ago?" Wang Xuan, the vice-captain of the Xing Feng Mercenary Group, saw that Xing Feng was very angry and walked to his side to say.

"Is there a problem with that valley?" Xing Feng saw Wang Xuan mention that valley and knew there must be something wrong with it, so he asked.

The reason Wang Xuan was able to become the vice-captain of the Xing Feng Mercenary Group was, on one hand, his strength; he was one of the seven Rank 7 Mind Users in the Xing Feng Mercenary Group besides Xing Feng. But this was not the main reason; after all, there were six other Rank 7 Mind Users in the Xing Feng Mercenary Group whose strength was on par with his. The main reason he was able to stand out from the competition with the other six Rank 7 Mind Users and become the vice-captain of the Xing Feng Mercenary Group was that he was ruthless and meticulous in his work. He had helped Xing Feng win many mercenary group battles and had also helped Xing Feng develop the Xing Feng Mercenary Group from a mercenary group of a few dozen people into the current one of over three hundred people. Therefore, it could be said that Wang Xuan was deeply trusted by Xing Feng.

"That valley indeed looked like there was no problem, but I had been there before when I was doing a mission. At that time, it wasn't a valley at all, but a lake," Wang Xuan said.

"You mean that valley isn't a valley, but a small lake covered by an array, and Zhuge Tianxin and the others are inside it? But Donghong has already investigated it, and there was no problem," Xing Feng said.

The Donghong mentioned by Xing Feng, whose full name was Donghong Xuanzhen, was one of the seven Rank 7 Mind Users in the Xing Feng Mercenary Group besides Xing Feng, and was also an Array Master. At that time, when Xing Feng and the others were chasing Zhuge Tianxin and the others, they had passed by the small lake where Zhuge Tianxin and the others were resting, but because Zhuge Tianxin had set up an array around the small lake according to the instructions of the elder Extreme Yang, Donghong Xuanzhen had not investigated any clues, so Xing Feng and the others had left.

"Bad, everyone, immediately rush to the valley from two days ago." Xing Feng immediately thought that Zhuge Tianxin and the others were very likely using a higher-level array that made it impossible for Donghong Xuanzhen to investigate. He immediately shouted and led the mercenary group to rush toward that valley.

And at this time, Zhuge Tianxin and the others had already left that valley.

"Brother Tianxin, why do you think there are so many people hunting us down?" Weisi Weisi De Kai was very depressed. Ever since they encountered the provocations from Bruce and Thomas, they had been hunted down, and in these battles, he was always the first to be knocked down. It could be said that from beginning to end, he was the object being protected, which was a very shameful and depressing thing for Weisi Weisi De Kai, who aspired to become a Divine Gunner.

"You really are an idiot. You still can't think of why you're being hunted down?" Blackie had already come out of the Extreme Yin Blade at some point.

"We have a bounty on us," Zhuge Tianxin said.

"I know that. Lu Hong had already said it at the time, but who is the person who put a bounty on us, and why do they want to hunt us down?" Weisi Weisi De Kai was still very depressed. Why were there so many people, yet it was just the few of them who had a bounty on them?

"You still haven't figured out why we have a bounty on us?" Zhuge Xun said.

"You mean Bruce and Thomas are playing tricks." Weisi Weisi De Kai finally thought of the reason.

"Sigh, what a stupid kid, only thinking of the reason now." Blackie was a bit speechless. How could he be so unperceptive, only being able to think of it now? The others had already thought of it long ago, leaving only him who hadn't.

"However, I have another question." Although he had figured out the reason, Weisi Weisi De Kai still hadn't figured out another reason.

"What question?" Zhuge Tianxin asked.

"With the ability of Bruce, a Rank 2 Mind User, and Thomas, a Rank 7 Mind User, it's impossible for them to bring out something that could make a Mind User like Lu Hong take action. Why are there so many Rank 7 Mind Users and Mind Users hunting us down? And judging from the performance of the people hunting us down, if one could get that item, it would be like being able to advance to a Mind User 100%, or even a Rank 1 Mind User being able to advance to a Rank 2 Mind User. If that's the case, then this item is even less likely to be something an ordinary Mind User could bring out. So I think the person who put a bounty on us is definitely not Bruce and Thomas; it must be someone else," Weisi Weisi De Kai said.

"Ouch, not bad, kid, you can actually analyze so much. It seems you aren't unperceptive after all," Blackie was very gratified.

"Hmm, it is indeed like this. With the ability of Bruce and Thomas, it's impossible for them to bring out something that even Rank 1 Mind Users would covet. So there should be another person behind this. This person is at least a Rank 2 Mind User; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to bring out such an item," Zhuge Xun said.

"Then who exactly is this person? We haven't offended anyone during this period." Weisi Weisi De Kai was very puzzled. During this period, they had been conducting new recruit selections and couldn't possibly have offended anyone else.

"No matter who this person is, they definitely wouldn't target us for no reason. So, this matter definitely has something to do with Bruce and Thomas," Ye Qingyu said.

"Right, Bruce and Thomas wanted to humiliate us, but didn't expect to be beaten by us instead. They will definitely find an opportunity to retaliate. So the person who put a bounty on us definitely has something to do with the two of them," Nangong Mengli also agreed with Ye Qingyu's statement.

Hearing the discussion of Weisi Weisi De Kai and the others, Zhuge Tianxin, who had been leading the way in front, stopped his steps, then looked at a group of people hunting not far away and said to Weisi Weisi De Kai and the others, "No matter if it has anything to do with them, you'll know once you catch them."
