Chapter 2428: The Purple Cloud Mushroom
Since Gu Xijiu was present with Di Fuyi, Yun Yanli was no longer comfortable about his plan to ambush the man during the journey. Besides, there would still be plenty of opportunities now that they had to follow Yun Yanli around. His main concern was to make sure that Gu Xijiu was unaware of his evil plan.
Yun Yanli turned his attention to Zhu Duqing and asked, "Mr. Zhu, would you like to come with me?"
Zhu Duqing was obviously hesitant to do so. He stammered as he replied, "I... I have my own carriage; there is no need to trouble you."
He looked into his sleeve and took out something greenish. With a toss, the ball of green light turned into an emerald bamboo carriage. He attached the cart to the back of the donkey and entered into the donkey-drawn carriage.
Yun Yanli studied the two escorts from the Devil Palace. These men had kept a very low profile, so he did not know their identities. Moreover, the two men were not wearing their official uniforms, making it even more difficult to learn of their origin.
Yun Yanli was very curious about Di Fuyi’s dealings over the past year that he was missing. The two escorts were the best source of information for Yun Yanli at that moment, so he condescendingly wanted to invite the men to share his ride. However, before he could raise his invitation, Di Fuyi was already demanding for their presence. "Both of you should be here guiding the carriage, right? Do you really think that you are two honorable guests waiting to be invited on board?"
Therefore, Guardian Jin and his companion gave Yun Yanli a quick gesture of farewell and proceeded to Di Fuyi’s carriage. Yun Yanli’s men, on the contrary, were sent away from the carriage by Di Fuyi. The man had made it clear that he would not trust any strangers to guide his carriage.
Yun Yanli was furious by his smart demands. He had left Yun Yanli clueless and with no immediate leads. He tried hard to stay calm in that situation, even though he wanted to smash the carriage into pieces and destroy the man inside it.
