Chapter 875: The Mysterious Palace (1)

After Leng Ruoxue and the others left, they searched for nearly five days in the Dark Night Seas before finding a suitable place to set up camp. This place was almost equivalent to the center of the Dark Night Seas, so other than them, three other teams also chose this place as their camp.

“There’s a lot of people here, miss,” Lü Tao whispered, looking at the other teams.

“Yes, the terrain here is not bad. It’s normal for them to choose this place. Moreover, according to the little snake, there’s almost no place suitable for a camp ahead,” Leng Ruoxue replied softly. She looked carefully. Including them, there were a total of four teams setting up camp here. However, the other three teams were not as strong as them, so she was really not afraid that those teams had any ulterior motives, as long as they did not take the initiative to provoke her.

Even though there were many teams who had chosen this place as their camp, it was big enough. Therefore, the teams had tacitly chosen their respective areas. Naturally, there was no need to snatch other people’s territory. Besides, it was not easy to see so many teams in the same place. This could be considered fate! Therefore, on the surface, most of the people were very friendly.

As usual, after setting up the tent, Feng Da and the others started to make a fire and cook. However, this time, they only took out meat and some raw rice. After all, there were outsiders here, so they could only make it simple.

Leng Ruoxue and the freak were each holding a piece of meat to roast on the fire. At this moment, a middle-aged man walked over from not far away. After coming in front of them, he smiled and said, “You guys are so fast!”

“You guys aren’t bad either!” Leng Ruoxue replied very politely. They were almost the same as the middle-aged man’s team. Moreover, the two teams’ camps were very close, so they could be considered neighbors.

“Haha! It’s far inferior to your subordinates,” the middle-aged man said enviously. Then, he sat down beside the two of them.

“My name is Ma Ming. I’m from the Ma family of the Cloudwind Continent. Are you from the Ren family?” The middle-aged man who called himself Ma Ming asked tentatively.

“No,” Leng Ruoxue said lightly.

“Oh.” Ma Ming nodded, then stole another glance at Renxuan, but didn’t continue the conversation.

“I wonder what your name is, my lady,” Ma Ming continued.

“Leng Ruoxue, he’s my husband, Ye Chen,” Leng Ruoxue introduced.

“Hehe, greetings,” Ma Ming said happily. Then, he lowered his voice and whispered to Leng Ruoxue and the freak, “How about we become allies for the time being?”

“Why?” Leng Ruoxue asked in confusion. In such a place, there were benefits for the two teams to join forces, but the benefits to her were not great.

“I’m afraid that those two teams will harm us. If our two teams join forces, it will be much safer,” Ma Ming explained. This time, as the leader, he brought his disciples to the Dark Night Seas to train. Naturally, he didn’t want anything to happen to them. In his opinion, the safest way was to find a team to join forces with. After observing, he felt that even though Leng Ruoxue and the others weren’t strong, there were many of them. This way, the two teams would definitely treat them as the core. Therefore, he took the initiative to approach Leng Ruoxue.

“Sir Ma Ming, you’re thinking too much. We don’t have any grudges. How can they harm us!” Leng Ruoxue seemed to say very innocently, but she couldn’t help but mutter in her heart. This Ma Ming clearly wanted to use them as cannon fodder, but he actually said it in such a dignified manner. However, it was better to avoid trouble, so she didn’t plan to expose his thoughts.

“Miss Leng, you’re too naive. In such a place, there are many cases of people killing others for treasures. The strength of our two teams can’t compare to the other party at all. If we’re really targeted by them, we’ll die!” Ma Ming refused to give up. Moreover, he deliberately scared Leng Ruoxue.

“But… Brother Xuan said that he will protect me. Moreover, Brother Xuan also said that although those two teams are strong, it’s not so easy to attack us. Sir Ma Ming, don’t scare yourself. You have to be confident in yourself. You can definitely do it,” Leng Ruoxue said extremely innocently and even encouraged Ma Ming.

Leng Ruoxue’s words made Ma Ming cry bitterly in his heart and regret it! Sigh! Why did he find this innocent little girl who didn’t know anything! How good would it be if he could just talk to Ren Xuan about this? However, he was afraid that Ren Xuan wouldn’t be easy to fool, and this little girl seemed to be very gullible, so he directly found Leng Ruoxue. However, he regretted it now!

Leng Ruoxue’s words also made Ren Xuan break out in a cold sweat. He was terrified. Boohoo… When did he say that?! This girl actually made him take the blame. However, he sympathized with Ma Ming more. With his cultivation, he could not defeat that cunning little fox!

Well! Then again, Leng Ruoxue did seem to be quite gullible. However, if anyone really thought that, they would definitely suffer a huge loss. This was the conclusion he came to after spending more than a month with Leng Ruoxue and the others.

“Miss Leng, the other party has many experts. If the two of them join forces, I’m afraid Young Master Ren alone…” Ma Ming had no choice but to continue persuading her. However, this time, he stopped halfway because he believed that even if Leng Ruoxue didn’t understand, the others would understand what he meant.

Unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, no one interrupted. Even Leng Ruoxue fell silent.

‘Miss Leng…’ Ma Ming called softly.

“Sir Ma Ming, has the other party already joined forces?” Leng Ruoxue asked with a face full of question marks.

“Uh! I’m not too sure about that, but just in case, we need to plan ahead. Otherwise, it’ll be too late,” Ma Ming reminded him.

“Sir Ma Ming, aren’t you worrying too much?” Leng Ruoxue said very implicitly. Actually, what she wanted to say more was whether he had a murder fantasy! Why didn’t she see that the two teams had plans to join forces! On the contrary, she felt that the two teams seemed to have a grudge.
