CHAPTER 2630: CHAPTER 2631: MEN ARE ALL SCUM

When they arrived at the assembly point, there were still many people there, and they had just arrived as well.

Unlike the teams with Lin Caisang and the others, the members of the other teams had suffered some losses. Many were injured, and some were sitting on the ground wailing.

"It seems we’re not the only ones who had it rough!"

The female captain of the five-person group looked at the other teams and let out a bitter laugh.

Compared to those unfortunate ones, their team was relatively lucky, having encountered Lin Caisang and the others, they were able to be rescued. But some others had suffered far too many losses.

"They must have encountered the same advanced demon," one of the team members replied.

The formation set by that advanced demon affected more than just a small area; it reached many places. Looking at the injuries of others, several teams had members who were crushed.

They probably had a similar experience to theirs.

"Captain, later on, let’s see which team has fewer members. How about we team up with them?" the man suggested.

Hearing this, the female captain glanced in the direction of Lin Caisang and Sui Zimo.

Her intention was to form an alliance with Lin Caisang and the others, after all, their strength was evident.

But she also understood her own team’s strength. They weren’t very capable, and many of the elixir pills they carried were already gone. How could such a team form an alliance with such a strong team?

She had a bit of self-awareness about this.

"Alright, let’s wait and see."

She nodded and then walked toward the side where many people were gathered.

That side was where the City Lord’s Mansion had set up camp, with Lin Baizhong inside, and several of the mansion’s guards outside.

When they approached, they heard a very familiar voice, which was Yuan Jue.

"Commander Lin, as the captain of our team, I hope to escort Miss Ling Xue’er out of Haikuo Forest. I believe she is not suited to remain in Haikuo Forest any longer."

He said sincerely to Lin Baizhong.

He had come to Haikuo Forest to gather materials for alchemy and alchemy crafting, not to babysit the spoiled Ling Xue’er who frequently threw tantrums and caused trouble.

However, upon hearing Yuan Jue’s words, Ling Xue’er erupted in anger.

"Why should I, why should I leave Haikuo Forest, Yuan Jue? Just because you’re the captain doesn’t mean you can decide whether I stay or leave. Who do you think you are?

You men are all scoundrels, fickle and untrustworthy. Aren’t you just smitten with that Lin woman? She’s already carrying another man’s child, and you still treat her like a goddess?

She’s just a lowly wench. Yuan Jue, you should think it over. Our Ling Family and your Yuan Family are well-matched in social status. What does that Lin woman amount to? She is nothing!"

Upon hearing her words, not only did Yuan Jue frown, but even Lin Baizhong, seated in the chief position, furrowed his eyebrows.

Was this Lin woman she mentioned his precious daughter?

Among the people who came to Haikuo Forest, only his darling daughter was pregnant, wasn’t she?

Yet, how did these matters between men and women come to involve his precious daughter?

Raising his eyes, he was about to speak and ask Yuan Jue what was going on, but Yuan Jue spoke first.
