But Nanxing and the others beside him all paled at his casual remark just now: "This should be Guifang."
"Young Master, how do you know we're in Guifang territory?"
Elder Zhang walked up to Xu Taiping, warily surveying their surroundings as he asked in a low voice.
Gongshu Nanxing and the others also gathered behind Xu Taiping.
"Elder Zhang, I told you before we came in. From here on, just follow me. There's no need to ask about anything else."
Xu Taiping shifted his gaze from the ancient tree ahead and turned to smile at Elder Zhang and the others.
"Oh, this memory of mine."
Elder Zhang slapped his forehead and grinned.
Seeing how composed Xu Taiping was, the others felt the heartstrings that had tightened upon hearing they were in Guifang territory suddenly relax.
"Young Master, we won't ask any more, but you have to at least tell us what to do next, right?"
Zhai Mo folded his arms across his chest and asked Xu Taiping with a grin.
Xu Taiping nodded, then turned and pointed at the ancient tree he had been studying for so long.
"Let's hide in this tree for a while first."
"Huh?" At those words, Zhai Mo scratched his head, his face full of bewilderment.
"That's all?"
He asked, utterly puzzled.
"Brother Zhai Mo, have you forgotten what the young master just said? He told you not to ask so many questions, and you're still asking!"
Gongshu Nanxing rolled her eyes at Zhai Mo.
"Oh dear, look at this memory of mine. It's even worse than Elder Zhang's."
Zhai Mo scratched his head sheepishly.
His comical appearance had Yuzhu, standing nearby, covering her mouth and giggling.
"Come on. Let's do as the young master says and take shelter in that tree for a while."
