1404 Stink of Conspiracy

"Everyone knows that this time, the competition is judged based on the total value of Demonic Beasts killed! The higher the total value, the better the chance of getting a good ranking!" Lu Changwei said. "The Temple partitioned off an area for the competitors, where their safety is guaranteed! But, the Demonic Beasts within the area are too weak and there will be lesser of them compared to competitors. That is to say that no matter how fast you kill within this area, you won't even be able to get the first place! To be able to get a higher score, you'll have to leave that area! The nearer to the old Overgrown Forest capital city, the better! Everyone knows that the Overgrown Forest nobles had been wiped out 500 years ago, and the city had now been overtaken by the Demonic Beasts. That would mean that the nearer it is to the city, the more dangerous it will be! If you work on your own, you can only hunt within the safe area. But if you join forces with us, we can go out of the safe area and kill more high ranking Demonic Beasts and win!"

What Lu Changwei said had made a lot of sense, and it seemed like he had rehearsed it beforehand.

Wenren Muyue and Miao Yiyue looked at each other, they looked a little convinced.

Lu Changwei's proposal sounded very attractive.

Let alone the part about getting a good ranking, Wenren Muyue's curiosity alone was enough to make her to consider joining Lu Changwei's team.

All her life, Wenren Muyue had been anchored by a serious illness. This time, her father had finally agreed to allow her to join the Elite Hunting Competition and she really did not want to stay in the safe zone to play it safe!

Having grown up with her his whole life, Miao Yiyue knew what she was thinking. He whispered to her, "Muyue, why don't we join them?"

"Mm, I was just thinking of that." Wenren Muyue nodded. She loathed Lu Changwei, but she could probably just ignore him later during the hunt.

"Great! Since the both of you have decided, welcome to our team!" Lu Changwei began, a smug smile on his face. But before he could finish, he was cut off.

"Wait a minute!" Wenren Muyue turned around and asked, "Mr. Chen, are you willing to join? I'll listen to what you have to say!"

The perverts that had gathered around the group looked at Chen Xiaobei again, as if they were going to roast him with their eyes.

They could not figure out why would the Goddess Muyue who captured the hearts of all men of Silver Plume capital city, was going to listen to an outsider's decision.

That was unbelievable! It did not make sense! It was illogical!

The people who heard Wenren Muyue's question began to wonder if they were hallucinating.

"Lady Wenren, you're too polite!" Chen Xiaobei smiled. "I'm just the doctor travelling with you. Whether or not to join is entirely up to you! I've already promised Elder Wenren that no matter what decisions you make, I will follow you to the end!"

"Thank you, Mr. Chen! It's decided then! We'll join Lu Changwei's team!" Wenren Muyue said excitedly.

This girl really wanted to leave the safe zone and explore the vast world to satisfy her curiosity.

When he saw the mesmerising smile on Wenren Muyue's face, Chen Xiaobei could not help but smile as well.

Based on Chen Xiaobei's personality, he would never have joined Lu Changwei. He had taken a step back this time because he smelled a conspiracy brewing!

The others did not know about the Overgrown Forest Hidden Treasure, but Chen Xiaobei did.

Lu Changwei was putting so much effort into recruiting people to join his team. He was probably just borrowing the group's combined power to escort him to the location of hidden treasure.

But Lu Changwei did not have the key. Why would he go there for? Chen Xiaobei had a very strong hunch that Lu Changwei's target was the Overgrown Forest Hidden Treasure.

The Overgrown Forest Hidden Treasure key was inside Chen Xiaobei's Infinite Space Ring. It would only be natural for him to want to go with Lu Changwei as well.

"Wait!" Lu Changwei suddenly said. "I'm only inviting the Wenrens and the Miaos! This lowlife outsider is not qualified to join my team!"

The smile on Wenren Muyue and Chen Xiaobei's face froze.

Clearly, Lu Changwei was trying to mess with Chen Xiaobei.

"Master Wei! There's no need to be like this!" Miao Yiyue stepped out. "Mr. Chen is the doctor that Elder Wenren had hired to watch over Muyue's health! If you don't allow Mr. Chen to join, then it basically means you are not allowing Muyue to join either!"

"Hmph! Who in Silver Plume Capital City does not know about Lady Wenren's illness?" Lu Changwei smirked. "Her illness cannot even be cured by the Temple's Traditional Chinese Doctors! How could a dimwit like this cure her?"

"You are not allowed to speak of Mr. Chen like that!"

Wenren Muyue was very unhappy.

"Oh look! Lady Wenren is protecting this little dipshit! Did he brainwash you with his medication?" Lu Changwei chuckled. "Allow me to be blunt, Lady Wenren, your illness can never be cured! Why don't you use whatever time you have left, to go to places and explore? Don't you agree?"

Wenren Muyue bit her lip. She was stuck in a dilemma.

Like Lu Changwei said, she really wanted to use whatever time she had left, to roam free and do whatever she wanted, to see the world before she died.

But for the sake of Chen Xiaobei, she made a decision that went against her desire.

"If Mr. Chen is not joining, then I won't be joining either!"

"Hmph! Whatever then! You're just a sick invalid anyway! You won't be of any help to us!" Lu Changwei spat.

Lu Changwei willingly gave up Wenren Muyue because he really did not want Chen Xiaobei to join his team.

"Then I won't be joining either!" Miao Yiyue said.

"Master Miao! You better think twice about that!" Lu Changwei narrowed his eyes. "I have the Dong family, the Wei family, and the people from the capital in my team! Are you really going to leave us for a stupid jackass and a dying woman?"

Before Miao Yiyue could answer, his family members spoke up.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.

"Cousin Yiyue! We cannot leave the group!"

"Yeah! Cousin Yiyue, this is a hard-to-come-by opportunity! Who knows, maybe once we get out of the safe zone, you might be able to come across a golden opportunity to break through your cultivation!"

"Yeah! Our family cannot leave the group!"

The other Miao family members advised.

They were all Miao Yiyue's cousin. It left Miao Yiyue in a dilemma as well.

Chen Xiaobei kept silent, Wenren Muyue was devastated, and Miao Yiyue was in a dilemma.

Lu Changwei was delighted to see this.

"If Mr. Chen is not joining, then I'll quit the group now!"

A voice spoke from a distance away.

The faces of the people around changed.
