Chapter 12636: Strong?
Her eyes are clear and bright, like the brightest stars in the night sky, sparkling with wisdom and agility.
Especially that smile, which is full of sunshine and confidence, as if it can dispel all the haze, making people unable to help but fall for it.
Her temperament is even more unique, revealing the vitality and vigor of a sunny girl.
Her confident and sunny temperament greatly increased her charm, as if she were a bright pearl, shining among the crowd.
Her every move and every look is full of charm, making people want to get closer and want to know more.
"Still not leaving?"
The girl in the green dress glanced at the group of people and said.
"Yes Yes Yes!"
A group of burly men turned around and left in a hurry because of the girl's words. It was unclear whether they were really afraid of the girl or the girl's father.
"Are you going to Huoyun Mountains?" The girl in green dress looked at Ling Xiao with a hint of surprise in her eyes and asked softly.
Ling Xiao nodded slightly, his expression firm: "Yes, I have something that I must complete, and I need to go to Huoyun Mountain Range."
The girl frowned when she heard this. She knew very well how dangerous the Fire Cloud Mountains were. Especially after the source of energy disappeared, the situation there became more chaotic and complicated.
For an outsider, it is undoubtedly an extremely risky thing to want to go deep into it alone.
She pondered for a moment, looked at Ling Xiao and said, "The Fire Cloud Mountains are very important. In recent years, due to the disappearance of the energy source, many previously hidden forces have emerged to compete for territory and resources."
"You are from another place, so you may not understand the situation here... Let's put it this way. Our City Lord's Mansion is preparing to organize a team to go into the Fire Cloud Mountains to hunt. On the one hand, it is to train the team, and on the other hand, it is also to obtain some rare spiritual materials."
"If you are interested, you can join us. We can act together and take care of each other. By the way, my name is Qingyao, Gu Qingyao, remember it!"
"Okay?" Ling Xiao thought about it for a moment and agreed readily.
He knew very well that he had just arrived and knew nothing about the geographical environment and situation of the Huoyun Mountains. If he rashly rushed in, it would undoubtedly be extremely dangerous.
Therefore, it will undoubtedly be safer and more secure to follow the locals.
"My name is Yu Hua!" Ling Xiao introduced himself with a smile. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he did not use his real name. "Others call me Yu Hua, the Heavenly Luo Chemical Divine Sword!"
"Hehe, your reputation is quite impressive, but I don't know how capable you are." The girl giggled, with a sly light flashing in her eyes, "Of course, it doesn't matter, I will protect you anyway."
Ling Xiao couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in his heart when he heard this.
He knew that although the girl looked weak, she was actually very strong and kind-hearted. Not only was she willing to take him along, she also promised to protect him, which was really rare.
Gu Qingyao was really happy.
After all, their team this time is basically made up of old guys in their forties or fifties, none of them are interesting. Ling Xiao is about the same age as her, so she is very happy.
"Let's go then. Our team is already gathering, right over there."
Gu Qingyao pointed to a valley in the distance, which seemed to be the only way for warriors to enter the Huoyun Mountains, and there were even some stalls there.
"Ok!"
Ling Xiao nodded and followed Gu Qingyao to the valley, where many warriors had already gathered.
The City Lord's Mansion's team has about a hundred warriors. One more Ling Xiao would not be too many, and one less Ling Xiao would not be too few.
So Gu Qingyao easily arranged him in.
Perhaps because Ling Xiao is the same age as her, Gu Qingyao is even more familiar with him than with those acquaintances.
"Young City Lord, we must be on guard against others these days. This kid sneaked into our team, but he may not have any good intentions. You should think about it."
Just when the two were chatting happily, a very discordant voice rang out.
A middle-aged man walked over and looked at Ling Xiao arrogantly, treating him like a thief.
Ling Xiao smiled and glanced at the man: "Do you know everyone here?"
“The majority of people don’t know me!”
The middle-aged man said.
"Then why are you targeting me? Is it because I'm more handsome? I'm more popular with girls? I know I have so many advantages, but isn't it the Young City Lord who has the final say here? Who do you think you are?"
Ling Xiao said sarcastically.
"Hahaha!"
Gu Qingyao laughed with joy. There were no such interesting people around her. They were all very rigid.
"I know you're thick-skinned, but I want to see if you're tough enough!" Before the middle-aged man finished speaking, he punched Ling Xiao. His face was full of anger and dissatisfaction, and he was obviously angered by Ling Xiao's words.
However, facing this sudden attack, Ling Xiao just glanced at it calmly without making any move. It seemed as if this punch was nothing more than a breeze on his face, not worth mentioning.
At this moment, a beautiful figure flashed by, and Gu Qingyao instantly appeared beside the middle-aged man. She raised the long sword in her hand, and the tip of the sword was already against the middle-aged man's throat. Her movements were swift and accurate, and she was obviously a swordsman with great swordsmanship.
"I invited someone, what right do you have to say?" Gu Qingyao's voice was cold and firm. She looked at the middle-aged man with an unquestionable light in her eyes. "Do your job well. If anything happens to him, I will be responsible. It is not your turn to overstep your bounds here!"
The middle-aged man was frightened by Gu Qingyao's sudden action, and his face turned pale. He never expected that Gu Qingyao would defend him so much for someone she just met.
He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but looking at Gu Qingyao's determined eyes, he could only close his mouth in disappointment and step aside.
Ling Xiao looked at this scene and couldn't help but look at Gu Qingyao with new eyes. He didn't expect that this seemingly lively and lovely girl could be so strong and decisive at the critical moment. He smiled slightly and cast a grateful look at Gu Qingyao.
A hint of cruelty flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes. He turned and left without saying anything else.
Gu Qingyao put away her sword and looked at Ling Xiao and said, "You have to be careful. His name is Zhang Ding. He is a mercenary with a hot temper and vicious actions. If the prey we want to capture this time is not too terrifying, we will not let such a person join us."
"Is he strong?"
Ling Xiao asked.
"Very strong!"
Gu Qingyao said: "I don't even have the confidence to win against him. He was just giving face to me and my father just now. He was not afraid of me."
"Oh!"
Ling Xiao nodded, thinking that Gu Qingyao was only at the peak of the Divine Body Realm, and the middle-aged man was about the same level. In front of him, a peak True Essence Realm expert, he was really not worth mentioning.
