Chapter 1443: Chapter 378: Lin Qing the Woman_5

"Ah, so that’s how it is."

"It’s quite similar for me. I just went to the town to buy some food and drinks, but when I got back home, I realized that all my family members had left except for me."

"They didn’t even leave a single note for me."

"The whole village was in disarray."

"Of course, I’m not blaming them for not leaving any clues. I just hope they can get through this difficult time healthy and safe."

Lin Qing said with a cheerful smile. When she laughed, you could still see two small dimples on her cheeks, giving her a bit of a girlish charm, and making her seem very forthright. No wonder kids loved to play with her; her personality was indeed quite pleasant.

Lin Qing continued, "As for you, I can’t believe you have reached the third level of Qi Refining Realm. I thought you were a frail scholar, with your delicate features and thick eyebrows."

Saying this, she also looked at the young man in front of her with a surprised smile.

Yuchi sheepishly scratched his head:

"I reached this cultivation level through casual practice. I’m actually quite weak and not skilled in fighting at all. I’ve never even killed a chicken, duck, or fish, let alone a person."

Lin Qing believed him because Yuchi indeed looked just like an honest and simple scholar, dressed in black brocade, with shoes that appeared dirty and worn.

His eyes still carried the air of an elegant scholar. Such a person claiming to have never killed anyone was believable; otherwise, the contrast would have been too great.

"Lin Qing jie! (Big sister Lin Qing!)"

"Oh! Xiao Xiu!"

"Lin Qing jie, you’re back!"

"I’m back!"

"Lin Qing jie, you’ve gotten thinner!"

"Thinner looks good!"

"Lin Qing jie, who is this brother?"

"He is Yuchi, and he wants to join our camp!!"

"Join our camp! Awesome! We need a handsome big brother in the camp!"

"Hahaha."

Yuchi watched her as she walked along and played with the kids, a smile spreading on his face. Then he carefully observed the whole camp’s situation.

The camp was set up in a forest, with many tents erected. The trees served as tent stakes, which prevented the tents from being blown over in the wind, and made it easier to set up. The tents came in triangular and square shapes; there really were all kinds of shapes.

Both inside and outside the tents, you could see many villagers.

The villagers were eating something. The food was not bad; just some rice porridge and some unknown meat, perhaps bear or deer meat, looking reddish.

"Looking at this camp, it’s clear it has only just started being built. Many facilities within the camp are not standardized yet."

"It seems the support from the Six Great States isn’t in place yet. They probably haven’t even sat down for a proper discussion."

Even though Yuchi hadn’t heard about this before, he could make inferences based on what he saw.

The camp’s equipment, all the pots and pans, cookware, etc., were all sorts of things from different places.

Though these items were all rescue supplies, the chaotic state of these supplies was somewhat perplexing.

If it had been discussed in advance by specialized personnel, these rescue supplies would at least have been compatible, like when a tent is damaged, it could be dismantled to provide spare parts for other tents. This is a basic result of item interchangeability.

But in this camp, there was no such interchangeability. Strange nails looked sturdy but clearly showed that the camp hadn’t been established for long.

"Fortunately, the villagers in the camp seem to be in good spirits. I can still see many children running around inside the camp. It doesn’t feel too oppressive, and the strongest cultivator in the camp only has a Fourth-Grade Talent, so their cultivation level shouldn’t be that powerful."

"In this situation, I’m not sure what the leadership of these joint camps is like, so I’ll slowly learn more about it and see if there’s a headquarters or a similar place. Going to this joint camp’s headquarters should provide more detailed clues about this Sixth State."

"As for now, the camp has people from different states. Some people clearly dress differently from what I understand, and their facial features don’t resemble the ones I’m familiar with. So, each great state must have sent some people."

Yuchi pondered lightly, not in a hurry. After all, he had just arrived at the camp a mere half-hour ago.
