The Zuo Household's Lost Property

When Zhang Xuezhou saw Ren Anran again, he could see the obvious haggardness on Ren Anran's face.

Just like Zhang Manqian a few days ago, Ren Anran looked rather tired.

The journey back to Western Capital City from the Thousand Islands Alliance was clearly not going to be a pleasant one.

"Brother Zhou, Sister Ren, is there really nothing wrong with our equipment?"

While Zhang Xuezhou was focused on Ren Anran's condition, Wang Li was simply looking at a few people.

Wang Li rarely saw the Qin Meng army so small in number.

Besides him, the driver who was just passing by, only Ren Anran and Zhang Xuezhou were traveling together, along with a pretty white-haired woman with a puffed-up face who was loitering around them.

If you exclude the beautiful white-haired woman, there are only three of them in their group.

It's not that teams of this size are unworkable, but the smaller the team, the lower the margin for error.

Even if just one person falls ill, the entire team is practically destroyed, let alone any gains.

Wang Li couldn't help but wonder why Wang Haoran, Zhang Manqian, and others hadn't participated in this trip to Qin Meng, and Ren Anran seemed to be in a somewhat strained state, which made him a little uneasy.

His suspicion that someone might fall ill wasn't just a thought; it meant that Zhang Xuezhou really might collapse suddenly, inevitably requiring someone to take care of him.

Wang Li felt that unless they were extremely lucky, their trip to Qinmeng would be a wasted trip.

He asked Zhang Xuezhou in a low voice, which made Zhang Xuezhou shrug, and Ren Anran could only give an awkward smile.

"How can there be no problem? How can there be no problem?"

Before Ren Anran could speak, the beautiful white-haired woman began to mutter.

"If you ask me, we shouldn't have gotten involved in those things," the beautiful white-haired woman said angrily. "I've been a puppet for over twenty years, getting nothing good in return, and now we're the ones who have to take the blame for everything that goes wrong. I can't afford to take that blame!"

"That's right!"

Zhang Xuezhou repeatedly agreed with Turcolando, who was dressed as a beautiful white-haired woman.

Looking at Turcolando's makeup, he knew that she must have been quickly pulled over by Ren Anran and left without even having time to remove her makeup.

If Zhang Xuezhou saw a woman like this on the street, he would only glance at her twice; he certainly wouldn't recognize her as Turcolando.

Turcolando's makeup didn't seem like something good had happened, so Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but keep his distance.

"Ah?"

Ren Anran gasped slightly, while Wang Li nodded repeatedly.

"You agree with what I said, right?" Turcorlando said, her anger subsiding slightly.

"Yes, absolutely right," Zhang Xuezhou nodded a few steps away, "If you still care about Kalando, hurry up and bring her out of the country!"

"That's what I'm saying... but that child is stubborn, and right now she's probably just naively thinking about killing the ferocious insects, so she probably won't listen to me," Turcolando said with a headache.

"Then you should try to persuade her more," Zhang Xuezhou said understandingly.

"She won't listen to me!" Turcolando said dejectedly.

"Then you deserve it, you might as well be dead!"

Ah~

Zhang Xuezhou's first words were understanding, but his last words made Turcolando's heart skip a beat.

Compared to Ren Anran's earnest and even enticing persuasion, Zhang Xuezhou's persuasion was simple and direct.

Turklando was stunned for a moment, watching Zhang Xuezhou pick up his bag and turn to leave. After a moment's hesitation, she quickly chased after him.

"No, the bond between you two friends isn't that fragile, is it?" Turcolando asked incredulously, "Are you just going to abandon us like this?"

"She won't even listen to you, I can't just run over there and die," Zhang Xuezhou said as he walked. "I've seen a lot of movies and TV shows where indecisive women have caused the deaths of many people. I feel sorry for those people, and I don't want to end up like them!"

"My father is paralyzed and has difficulty moving around, so I also have to take care of him!"

Seeing that Turcolando's attitude had almost completely reversed, Ren Anran realized what was happening and couldn't help but offer some words of support.

"Hey, is this how you do things? Hey kid, come over here and help!"

Turkorando looked at Zhang Xuezhou and Ren Anran.

She shook her head, feeling that the Spiritual Qi was of no use to the two of them.

Wang Li, however, was influenced by her and became particularly enthusiastic, obediently standing in front of Zhang Xuezhou.

"Brother Zhou, I think..."

"I think our setup is definitely fine," Zhang Xuezhou complained. "If it weren't for Wang Li's skill in driving and repairing cars, I wouldn't even want to bring Wang Li along!"

"I didn't let my brother come either. He could hold his own for a short time, but he would be subtly influenced over time," Ren Anran complained.

Zhang Xuezhou's initial idea was to make this trip quick and decisive. Given that Zhang Manqian's condition was not good, it would be better to use the four hundred culture media brought by Zhou Rihui for practice rather than embarking on a long voyage.

He had no intention of hunting with Qin Meng, yet he still made this team configuration.

But now, Zhang Xuezhou has discovered the disadvantages of having too many people in the team.

If there were a few more teammates who were unable to withstand the Spiritual Qi of Turcorando, it might lead to a lot of troublesome situations.

Like Wang Li, who immediately fawned over Turkorando after being called upon.

"So breaking up is the best option," Zhang Xuezhou said. "I don't want to ruin the relationships between our local team because of this!"

"Fine," Ren Anran nodded, "Although I sympathize with Kalando, what can she do when she has a mother with conflicting opinions!"

"You two... alright, I'll listen to you and cooperate with Kalando, but you still have to tell me how to do this kind of thing," Turcolando caught up and said, "I've recently seen information from back home, and I really don't have the ability to solve this kind of problem. I'll be killed by that ferocious insect."

"Let's talk about it after we board the Airbus," Zhang Xuezhou nodded. "There's still fifteen minutes left. I'll go to sleep in six hours. I hope we can have a pleasant journey!"

"Have a pleasant trip together!" Wang Li said with a silly grin.

"Don't use your abilities on us recklessly," Ren Anran warned. "Xuezhou doesn't have my good temper. He hates people who use their small abilities to do bad things!"

"I haven't done anything wrong," Turcolando argued. "That old bastard Zuo Lianguang killed our chief paladin in an international dispute before. He was a promising talent who was loyal to me. I'm just here to collect some interest."

"In a dispute, if you are technically inferior, you have nothing to say," Ren Anran said.

"Zuo Jin and his team are simply incompetent; there's nothing more to say about that!"

Amidst the commotion, Turkelando found a corner to remove the white hair wig from his head, as well as his false eyelashes, fake nose, and other items. The group quickly entered a special passage and boarded the long-haul Airbus that was taking off that night.

What exactly did Korando gain from this?

After boarding the Airbus and being seated in a segregated manner, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but feel curious.

He pointed to Turcolando in the fifth row ahead and asked in a low voice.

This made Ren Anran look around before leaning close to Zhang Xuezhou's ear.

"She tricked Zuo Lianguang into giving her the extract of the giant bird beast that he had stored with Zuo Jin," Ren Anran whispered.

"That Zuo Household is truly cursed."

"Zuo Lianguang entered the Twilight Mansion. Zuo Jin and Zuo Quan are the weakest among the powerful Lineage members in Western Capital City, and they have been constantly fighting amongst themselves, making them her best targets!"

Even the most formidable Third Sequence fighters become utterly useless when faced with overwhelming spiritual power.

Just like Wang Li's behavior in front of Turcolando, Zuo Jin and Zuo Quanmian were no different from fools when facing Turcolando.

He said things he shouldn't have said to Turcolando, and took things he shouldn't have taken and gave them to Turcolando.

By the time Zuo Jin belatedly realizes what's happening, he'll probably be searching the entire Western Capital City for a beautiful white-haired girl.
