Chapter 1283 - 402: Omen, The Death of Master Du Jie
The bearded man was unconcerned, sneering, "What does it matter if she has a fierce beast to protect her? Can any beast be stronger than us? Maybe that person deliberately said that, just trying to get more benefits! Once the others arrive, we’ll grab that girl. I refuse to believe so many of us can’t handle a little girl, and it’s best to capture her whole family while we’re at it. That way, our chances of success would be even greater."
But the woman was not so optimistic and, concerned about stumbling at a critical moment, reminded him again, "We should still be cautious. Let’s discuss the specifics when the others arrive. We can’t afford any mistakes..."
"Enough already, Weiya, you’re just too timid. You’re never decisive," the bearded man said impatiently, waving his hand to interrupt her, "I know what I’m doing, I won’t mess this up! With Chu Jing under martial law, we should first figure out if we can get back in touch with that man. Without his help, even if we manage to kidnap that girl, we might not be able to rescue Weier and the others."
When the woman Weiya heard the man mention her brother Weier, any dissatisfaction she had been feeling was instantly suppressed, and she nodded, seemingly in agreement with the bearded man’s suggestion.
Mo Yan had bought some honey candy, and asking the old vendor to break it into small pieces caused a slight delay. By the time she passed the alley again, there was no one there.
She shook her head, not understanding why she was so concerned about two strangers. She chalked it up to the pair being unusually conspicuous in the crowd. After mocking herself, she walked to the teahouse with the honey candy wrapped in oil paper.
After sitting for a while in the teahouse and having an in-depth conversation with the waiter about the nearby scenic spots of Peach Blossom Town, the family roughly decided on their next destination. After a short rest, they spent five pieces of silver to hire a local count to lead them there.
For the next few days, the family continued to tour the towns near Jing City, visiting almost every noteworthy place and sampling every local specialty. They were so happy that they wished they could continue their travels.
