“I don’t care whether you intend to climb the mountain alone or form a team to ascend; I just want to see you reach the summit of Jade Cloud Mountain and gather the medicinal herbs from the peak,”
he said.
The royal guards: “…”
Forget one person, even if all of them set off together, it would still be impossible to reach the summit of Jade Cloud Mountain, right?
Would they be enough to feed those poisonous snakes?
“Leader, that… Do King Qian and the others have no solutions?” a guard asked quietly.
“King Qian and the others are merely his Highness’s friends. The fact that they could come together has already fulfilled all obligations of kindness and righteousness. What, do you expect them to handle everything for you?”
Su Tang countered.
He also understood clearly that King Qian must have formed an opinion about these guards; otherwise, he wouldn’t have directly thrown the problem to them. Helping them was certainly possible.
“If you’re so fond of Miss Gu, seeing as you chatted so happily just now, now that you’re faced with a difficulty, why don’t you go ask Miss Gu, whom you enjoyed talking with so much, to see if she can be of any help to you?”
he said coldly.
“Err.”
The guard who had the best conversation with Gu Qingyu blushed with embarrassment.
Only now did the royal guards realize why the task of climbing to the Jade Cloud Mountain Peak had been given directly to them; it seemed to be deliberate on the part of Qian Jiyun and his company.
But at this moment, they couldn’t go and question Qian Jiyun and his spouse. Saving their prince was something they as guards were supposed to do. To King Qian and his spouse, helping was a matter of kindness, but not helping was their prerogative.
Now no one dared say anything further; every face was etched with worry.
Ascending to the summit of Jade Cloud Mountain had indeed stumped them.
Just as they were filled with worry, over there, Gu Qingyu saw Zhan Beiye approaching, which initially delighted her. But when she heard Zhan Beiye demand the medicinal herbs from them, her face turned ashen.
“Why should we? These are the herbs we gathered. Why should we have to give them to you?” she asked shrilly.
These herbs were indeed gathered by them, almost risking being attacked by demonic beasts and losing their lives. Why should An Jiuyue get to simply utter a few light words and they were expected to hand them over?
“Because all I need to say is for you to leave our group and offer yourselves up to the demonic beasts as snacks,” Zhan Beiye said with a steely gaze.
“You—”
Gu Qingyu felt rage caught in her throat, unable to voice her frustration.
His words left her with no counterargument. Indeed, if they were to leave these people, they would have no chance of making it through the Zhedu Sea Area.
The Zhedu Sea Area was divided into several territories. Originally, they only planned to gather herbs in the outermost territory and had no intention of going deeper.
But by following these people, they had grown emboldened, and in just a few days, they had entered the inner region and arrived near Jade Cloud Mountain, where demonic beasts were most populous.
Here, not to mention gathering herbs, if they didn’t stick close to Zhan Beiye and the others, they wouldn’t even be able to make their way out.
“Following us is what gave you the opportunity to come to the Zhedu Sea Area; do you really think you’re some big shot?” Zhan Beiye said when he saw her silent.
“I…”
Gu Qingyu opened her mouth but found no words to retort to Zhan Beiye.
“Even if we did follow you to get to the inner region, the medicinal herbs were gathered by us. You didn’t exert any effort; why do you think you’re entitled to half just because you say so? We will not…”
