Hearing Dao Mei actually suspect that the Hong Xiguan before them was the first BOSS of the Red Flower Pavilion instance, Ye Weiming shook his head inwardly and asked, "What instance BOSS have you ever seen emerge already wounded, with a group of women, children, and elderly people beside him?"
Dao Mei nodded lightly at that, clearly finding Ye Weiming's words quite reasonable.
Then she asked, "If he is in this instance but does not seem to be a gatekeeping BOSS, then who is he?"
Jiang Jin Jiu calmly replied through a message, "I think these people are more like NPCs who issue instance quests."
"Agreed." Ye Weiming nodded, but still reminded everyone, "However, since this is an exceptionally dangerous instance, anything could happen. Don't lower your guard around this Hong Xiguan either. Stay alert and listen to what they have to say first."
By then, Hong Xiguan had brought the woman and children beside him before Ye Weiming and the others. He clasped his fists and said, "To be honest, the divine weapon of Red Flower Pavilion is currently being kept by Master Chicken Granny of Shaolin Temple. If you young heroes wish to obtain it, you must protect these five children and deliver them, along with the 'Immortal Ginseng Map,' to Master Chicken Granny. He will naturally hand over the divine weapon to you. What do you say, young heroes?"
Hearing Hong Xiguan say this, everyone still had some doubts.
Why did his proposal feel a little like he was trying to rope them into labor?
And there were clearly six children by his side. Why had that become five?
Could it be that Hong Xiguan was bad at math?
But a system notification immediately dispelled all their doubts.
