Early the next morning, Qin Yu left the inn.
Morning in Qingshan Town was livelier than in Wutan City. The sky had only just begun to brighten, yet several teams preparing to enter the mountains had already gathered at the town gate.
Qin Yu wandered around the notice board near the entrance and learned some information from a few mercenaries waiting for work.
Xiao Yi Xian was indeed heading into the mountains to gather herbs today, but the team was already full. By the time he found them, they were ready to depart.
There were around a dozen people, most of them veteran mercenaries. The leader was a dark-faced man in his forties, holding a roster and calling names one by one.
Several young people dressed differently stood around the edge of the group. Their leader was a young man in his early twenties, idly watching the passersby.
Qin Yu walked straight toward the team. The dark-faced man caught sight of him from the corner of his eye but did not even raise his head.
"The team's full. We aren't taking anyone else."
Qin Yu did not stop. The Dou Qi around him trembled slightly, and a brownish-yellow Battle Qi Gauze appeared around his body.
The dark-faced man immediately rubbed his eyes and gave Qin Yu another look. The gazes of several nearby mercenaries snapped toward him as well.
Battle Qi Gauze was the mark of a Battle Master.
But...
What Battle Master would be bored enough to mingle with a bunch of Dou Zhe who were merely scraping together a living?
The same answer surfaced in everyone's mind.
"...Fine. You can come with the team."
The dark-faced man did not say another word. The young man from earlier also fixed his gaze on Qin Yu, his brows drawing together
