Chapter 639 -639: They Enter the Mountain with Us

Before the members of Team Five finished speaking, a figure suddenly walked in front of them and bumped into one of them.

The leader of the group staggered back two steps and had to be supported by those behind him to avoid falling.

Grinding his teeth, he raised his head, “What are you doing?”

Ma Lu’s face was expressionless, “Oh, I wasn’t paying attention. Did that hurt? Do you need me to ‘whoosh whoosh’ for you?”

The people around them, “…”

Shu Yu burst into laughter, giving Ma Lu a thumbs up.

Nicely done, he returned the insult word for word.

And the force of Ma Lu’s bump was much stronger than his.

Just looking at the leader of Team Five’s ashen face and the way he rubbed his shoulder, it was clear he deserved it.

Ma Lu asked him, “If you don’t need a ‘whoosh whoosh’, do you want me to compensate you with money?”

The leader of the group could bully a girl like Shu Yu, but faced with Ma Lu—a big and strong man with real strength—he instantly lost his nerve. With a cold huff, he turned his head and walked away.

Only after they had gone far did Ma Lu ask Fang Xiyue, “Are you okay?”

She shook her head, “Thank you.” She really hadn’t expected him to confront the people of Team Five directly.

Ma Lu waved his hand, “Now everyone thinks you’re under the protection of our Team Three. If something happened to you and we didn’t care, it would be our Team Three losing face. No need to thank me; just put in more effort when we go into the mountains later.”

“Okay.”

Fang Xiyue nodded firmly, feeling a huge relief wash over her, and the whole person felt more relaxed.

The group then continued walking towards the foot of the mountain.

Unexpectedly, two men were waiting for them there. Seeing Shu Yu, Meng Yunzheng and Zhao Xi, who had been sitting on a rock, stood up and looked their way.

Shu Yu introduced them to Ma Lu, “These are my brother and his friend.”

Ma Lu, puzzled, “They…”

Shu Yu explained, “They’re coming into the mountains with us.”

Ma Lu’s expression turned sour, and his team members frowned, “Isn’t that a bit problematic?”

Sure, the men were robust, but looking at their frail scholar appearance, wouldn’t they be a hindrance?

Moreover, these two were not criminals. If something happened in the mountains, it could be their fault—a constant hassle.

Ma Lu shook his head, “Sorry, I don’t agree with them joining us in the mountains.”

They had worked with Shu Yu before and developed a certain level of understanding. Suddenly adding two unknown men, whose temperaments they were completely unfamiliar with, could lead to unexpected problems.

Seeing the rejection from Team Three, Shu Yu immediately smiled and explained, “You misunderstood; they are not coming to hunt the tiger with us. My brother and his friend are just going to collect herbs in the mountains, sharing part of the way with us.”

To collect herbs?

Ma Lu looked at Zhao Xi in astonishment, “You’re a doctor?”

Fang Xiyue immediately nodded and said, “Doctor Lu is very skillful. My father was severely injured, and it was Doctor Lu who treated him. My father can now walk again, and he is much more spirited.”

Hearing the name Doctor Lu, Zhao Xi felt a twinge in his teeth.

He glanced at Meng Yunzheng beside him, who seemed as if he heard nothing and quietly played the part of a wallflower.

But after hearing Fang Xiyue’s words, Ma Lu’s view of Zhao Xi changed.

He had inquired about the Fang Family’s circumstances. Fang Xiyue’s talents revealed after she entered the mountains surprised him, so he specifically found out that her father was a hunter who had been badly injured, which he found quite regrettable.
