197: This car seems a little different.
Every day, after Bao Hui left the Axe Gang, Xiong Mao's men would no longer follow him. Instead, Ximen Chuifeng's army of ants would take over, observing where Bao Hui went, who he met, and what he did.
Although Ximen Chuifeng didn't show his face, he did a lot of things behind the scenes.
Recently, he even caught the attention of the Guild's intelligence department, but he managed to bluff his way through... 155 Fortress, Beast Taming Bureau.
"Open the door, open the door!"
Inside the room, Wang Yi had just finished washing up when he heard his door being pounded loudly, accompanied by shouts.
Wang Yi sighed, casually picked up the short-sleeved shirt on his bed, put it on, and went to open the door: "I say, Young Miss, I'm not late getting up, you don't need to call me. I'll be down in a bit."
From the sound alone, he knew it was Gu Mingzhu in the room. This girl seemed a bit anxious today, so she didn't bother to act graceful and just came directly to pound on the door.
As soon as Wang Yi opened the door and finished speaking, Gu Mingzhu immediately grabbed his arm and pulled him out: "Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?"
"Hurry up, I can't wait!" Ever since she witnessed the magic of the green train yesterday, Gu Mingzhu had been thinking about it day and night. All thoughts of training were thrown to the back of her mind; riding the train was the most important thing!
"Wait, let me close the door." Wang Yi turned back to lock the door before following her downstairs.
Isn't it just riding a train? Is it really that big of a deal?
But thinking about it, it seemed like his first time riding the train was also... Anyway, they were both equally excited, so no one should laugh at anyone.
"Oh, hurry up, hurry up, Young Master Feng Zhi is already waiting for you downstairs." Gu Mingzhu urged.
"Then why isn't he coming up?" Wang Yi wondered.
"How would I know? Just hurry up!"
While speaking, Gu Mingzhu had already reached downstairs.
Wang Yi quickly followed, this was the first time he had seen Gu Mingzhu so flustered.
Downstairs, Wang Yi indeed saw Feng Zhi.
"Everyone's here, let's go quickly. We still need to go Outside the Bastion to find Sister Yunying." Gu Mingzhu was truly more anxious than both of them.
"Alright."
As Wang Yi and the others were about to leave, they suddenly ran into the Director of the Beast Taming Bureau.
"Hey, you three..." The Director of the Beast Taming Bureau was a bit surprised. Why was Gu Mingzhu still here?
Didn't Chu Yun say yesterday that Gu Mingzhu was only going to the forest for one day of training?
Was he trying to abduct his disciple to do manual labor for the City Lord's Mansion?
"Hello, Director Uncle. The three of us agreed to go to the forest for training, so I rushed here early in the morning." Gu Mingzhu acted even more prim and proper in front of an elder than she did in front of them yesterday, her expression exactly that of a model student.
As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling face. Since Gu Mingzhu was so well-behaved, the Director of the Beast Taming Bureau naturally wouldn't scold her: "Good, then you all go quickly. Go early and come back early, and be careful. You two must take good care of the young lady, understand?"
"Understood." What else could Wang Yi and Feng Zhi say? They could only nod.
"Mm, go."
The Director of the Beast Taming Bureau wouldn't vent his anger on Gu Mingzhu, but Chu Yun... Heh heh, he'd have to extort another sum from him!
...Outside the Bastion of 155 Fortress, Guild.
After Wang Yi and the others arrived Outside the Bastion, they went to find Ge Yunying, and then together they went to the Guild's mission hall to accept a mission.
"So this is the Guild." Gu Mingzhu was visiting here for the first time and found everything curious.
"Yes, we often come here to accept missions. After completing the missions, we can come back to exchange them for spirit stones." Wang Yi explained.
He felt a bit of sympathy for Gu Mingzhu on this point. Although Gu Mingzhu's personality was a bit boisterous, she really rarely came out.
Although the City Lord loved Gu Mingzhu, he kept her a bit too tightly reined in.
Look, she was even visiting the Guild Outside the Bastion for the first time.
Truly pitiful, pitiful.
"Oh? Do you also come here to do missions for spirit stones?" Gu Mingzhu blinked, this she hadn't expected.
Wang Yi never lacked spirit stones. He was the most favored disciple of the Director of the Beast Taming Bureau, what good things didn't he have?
Did he still need to go into the perilous forest to do missions for those few spirit stones?
"Yes." Wang Yi nodded, "Although I don't lack spirit stones, those two do. We accept more missions that require a team of three or more, and then we'll get more spirit stones."
Gu Mingzhu:!
So that's how it was, this Wang Yi really valued his friends.
"Wang Yi, come quickly and look, the reward for this mission seems very good." Ge Yunying was looking at missions on the wall over there, and when she saw a suitable one, she waved to Wang Yi.
"Let me see."
The few of them went over to take a look.
"It's pretty good. If completed, you can get three thousand low-grade spirit stones at once, it's just that this time we have four people..."
Wang Yi stroked his chin, speaking while thinking, not finishing his sentence, all to let a certain someone understand on their own.
Gu Mingzhu: "..."
"You all came out to train with me, how can I not contribute? I'll help with this mission, but I won't take any reward. The spirit stones will be divided among the three of you."
Gu Mingzhu said generously.
"Good, then it's settled. Feng Zhi, go accept the mission." Wang Yi's "scheme" succeeded, and he quickly told someone to register.
"Alright!"
After registering, they left the Guild and headed to the forest.
Yesterday, the green train appeared on the outer perimeter, but it might not today. The four of them discussed it and decided to take a shortcut directly to the Inner Circle.
The probability of the green train appearing in the Inner Circle was higher.
"Let's go, depart now."
Wang Yi waved his hand, followed by three people, truly looking like a small team.
Meanwhile, Ximen Chuifeng, who was cultivating in the first carriage, had reached the end of his ride.
【Destination reached, passengers please disembark.】
Ximen Chuifeng heard the familiar "ding" in his mind, opened his eyes, and indeed saw the familiar line of text.
He stood up, stretched, and sighed, "Alas, these fifteen minutes go by so fast. If only I could also ride in the VIP carriage for thirty minutes."
Ximen Chuifeng picked up his folding fan and a bottle of train exclusive water he bought, then got off the train. He hadn't come in vain this trip, having collected first-hand information on the train's upgrade.
Not long after Ximen Chuifeng left, Wang Yi and the others arrived.
"Hey, I think I saw the green train. Come and see if it's it? Why do I feel like it's a bit different from yesterday?"
Gu Mingzhu was the most eager to ride the train, so she had always walked at the very front. After entering the Inner Circle, she quickly saw the green train.
But just as she said, this train... seemed a little different.
