Chapter 84: Falling Out?

Tang Tai's acting was impressively convincing, leaving Wang Wei with no choice but to nod and agree, "Alright then, let's hurry to the van to retrieve your wallet, Mr. Tang Tai."

As Wang Wei was about to lead the way, Mo Jin caught his shoulder, saying, "Hey, Wang Wei, tell me about Earth Dragon Village. Didn't you say the specialty dishes there are delicious? I'm quite a foodie and very interested in culinary delights."

While speaking, Mo Jin shot Tang Tai a knowing glance. Tang Tai, understanding the cue, smiled and suggested, "Then Wang Wei, why don't you enlighten Mo Jin about Earth Dragon Village's special cuisine? Just hand me the car keys, I can go to the van and retrieve my wallet by myself."

Wang Wei, glancing at Mo Jin, reluctantly handed over the keys to Tang Tai, "Mr. Tang Tai, remember to lock the car after getting your wallet back."

Taking the keys, Tang Tai assured with a cheerful grin, "Of course, don't worry about it, Wang Wei. I'll be back soon, please wait for me."

After saying this, Tang Tai quickly headed to the van.

Meanwhile, Wang Wei had no choice but to start describing the special dishes of Earth Dragon Village to Mo Jin, who nodded along with a smile, though whether he was actually listening to Wang Wei's explanation was another matter.

Soon after, Tang Tai returned, handing the car keys back to Wang Wei, "Thanks, Brother Wang Wei. I've got my wallet."Witness the debut of this chapter, unveiled through Ñôv€l--B1n.

Liu Xing noticed Tang Tai's subtle nod, indicating he was unaware of any tampering Wang Wei might have done to the van.

After receiving the keys, Wang Wei nodded and pointed towards Earth Dragon Village, "Let's head out. It's already around seven o'clock, we should hurry to Earth Dragon Village. I still need to speak to the village chief about arranging your accommodations."

Just then, an old man, surrounded by middle-aged villagers, approached them.

Without doubt, this was the village chief of Earth Dragon Village.

"Dear volunteers, don't blame Wang Wei. I instructed him to bring you here, so I fabricated some stories. The reason I lied is that Earth Dragon Village needs your help with some matters," the village chief explained as he approached.

Liu Xing frowned, puzzled, "Old sir, you must be the village chief of Earth Dragon Village. Isn't your village at the earthquake's epicenter? How come nothing happened?"

The village chief chuckled, pointing to the largest building in the village, "Here's the thing. When the earthquake struck, our villagers were participating in a ritual at the Ancestral Temple. Although the temple is centuries old, it's extremely earthquake-resistant. It wasn't damaged, so our villagers were safe, and

the village buildings remained largely intact."

Liu Xing raised an eyebrow, continuing, "So, there are no casualties in Earth Dragon Village? Then we have no reason to stay. We'll take our leave, village chief. Other areas need our help more urgently."

As Liu Xing made to leave, the village chief quickly stepped forward, holding him back, "Please wait, volunteer friend. Earth Dragon Village still needs your assistance with other matters."

Shi Ying gently pulled the village chief away, saying resignedly, "Village chief, although Earth Dragon Village was spared, other villages aren't so fortunate. We must help them as soon as possible. So, please let us go. After all, saving lives is of utmost importance."

With that, Liu Xing and the others turned to leave, knowing that if they let the village chief continue, they might trigger a main quest, making it impossible for them to leave Earth Dragon Village.
