"I understand now!"

Xiaobei took a deep breath and nodded lightly...

Xiaobei knew that Gu Dong wasn't the type to exaggerate, so the treasure land truly possessed great difficulty.

Seeing Xiaobei's solemn expression, Gu Dong knew that this matter was probably also troublesome for Xiaobei...

"I should have known better than to talk about the treasure map earlier!"

Muttering with some regret, Gu Dong spoke earnestly, "Xiaobei, if you think it's unnecessary, let's just give it up."

Upon hearing Gu Dong's advice, everyone present flinched...

However, even so, they chimed in, "Exactly! If you find it too troublesome, let's just let it go, it's no big deal!"

They knew that compared to those so-called precious Spirit Stones, Xiaobei was far more important, so they truly didn't want Xiaobei to risk himself.

Hearing their advice, Xiaobei knew they truly meant well...

With a gentle smile, Xiaobei waved his hand, "It's okay, I'm still quite interested in that place, so I've decided to go take a look."

Hearing Xiaobei's somewhat stubborn response, they became anxious...

"You... Xiaobei, think carefully, don't rush into a decision!"

"Right, right!"

Hearing their insistent advice again, Xiaobei waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, none of the decisions I make are hasty, and as I said earlier, I'm just going to take a look! As for whether I'll actually go in, that's yet to be determined!"

A sigh of relief!

Hearing Xiaobei's explanation, they exchanged glances and let out a small sigh of relief.

They knew that Xiaobei wasn't the type to make rash decisions, so he must have his considerations before taking action.

But even with that relief, they were still a bit worried about Xiaobei being alone...

"When the time comes, we'll go with you!"

"Alright!"

Xiaobei agreed quickly...

Xiaobei knew that it would be impossible not to let them come along...

Given that, it was better to agree straightforwardly...

After agreeing, Xiaobei chatted with them for a while longer before getting up to leave...

After Xiaobei left, they also departed, leaving only Gu Dong there in no time.

At this moment, he gazed into the distance, whispering to himself, "I wonder if it was right to inform Xiaobei about this."

Gu Dong was truly conflicted now; on one hand, he felt that informing Xiaobei of this could definitely lead to some action.

On the other hand, he knew it was truly dangerous, worrying that Xiaobei might get implicated and potentially even face life-threatening consequences.

"If it comes to a critical moment and Xiaobei is truly unsure, I must intervene!"

Thinking about Xiaobei's importance, Gu Dong took a deep breath, his gaze becoming more resolute.

Meanwhile, after leaving, Xiaobei didn't rush back to his place but headed straight to those he had previously detained.

Those people were, of course, the underlings of Su Ye, who Xiaobei had eliminated before!

...

"Someone's coming!"

As Xiaobei approached, they heard footsteps.

In an instant, they all instinctively became alert.

Xiaobei pushed open the door and walked in, noticing their alertness, he slightly narrowed his eyes...

Soon, Xiaobei spoke mildly, "How was it? Did you rest well last night?"

Upon hearing Xiaobei's gentle inquiry, their eye corners twitched fiercely...

"How did we rest? Rest my ass!"

They had been so anxious all night that they hadn't really slept well.

"It seems your rest wasn't good, but don't worry, you'll have a chance to rest properly in the future!"

Hearing such a pointed remark, they were thoroughly panicked...

Soon, they kneeled directly on the ground.

"Earlier, we were truly confused!"

"Exactly, we really don't dare anymore, please spare us this time!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

No one thinks their life is too long.

They were no exception.

Feeling just a hint of killing intent, they quickly kneeled to the ground, desperately pleading...

"Confused?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

In responding so quickly, they pinned all the blame on Su Ye.

They knew Su Ye couldn't possibly defend himself now, so blaming him was really fitting.

Upon hearing them pin everything on Su Ye, Xiaobei frowned...

Then, Xiaobei waved his hand, saying, "I understand your little ploys. Actually, you needn't bother. Frankly, I'm not that interested in you. I just want to know where you come from and why you call our place a barbaric land!"

"This..."

"What? Is there something you can't say to me?"

With such a rhetorical question, waves of intense killing intent rapidly spread from Xiaobei.

Feeling such a thick killing intent, their eye corners twitched fiercely...

They knew Xiaobei was truly angry now. Meaning, if they couldn't give him a satisfactory answer, they'd be digging their own graves.

"No, earlier we were just pondering how to tell you!"

"Yeah, yeah, we can talk about anything in front of you!"

"Indeed, indeed!"

"Then speak up!"

With a slight nod, Xiaobei sat down.

As he sat, that substantial killing intent dissipated quickly...

This allowed them to let out a breath of relief.

Being constantly enveloped by that killing intent truly made their souls tremble...

...

Half an hour later, Xiaobei knew everything; turns out, they were all from the Su Family!

The so-called Su Family was an extremely formidable clan...

They didn't know exactly how powerful because they were merely on the outermost layer of the Su Family, unable to access its inner workings, only hearing of its immense and formidable power...

The Su Family's strength came from their location, where the Spirit Vein was relatively well-preserved, making the Spiritual Energy quite abundant.

Thus, they referred to this place as a barbaric land...

Compared to their previous location, Spiritual Energy here was extremely scarce.

Fully understanding the background, Xiaobei squinted his eyes, "So, you mean you came here to carry out a mission!"

Upon hearing Xiaobei's question, they nodded quickly...

"Yes, this mission clearly failed! So when we get back, we'll definitely be punished, so now, it doesn't matter how you treat us!"

At this moment, they finally comprehended...

They knew that within the entire Su Family, they were absolute nobodies...

Thus, those from the Su Family surely wouldn't truly care about their lives...

In simple terms, completing the mission entrusted to them gave their lives meaning.

But now, having completely bungled the mission, they would naturally face terrifying consequences.

Hearing their deeply dispirited remarks, Xiaobei slightly narrowed his eyes...

Originally, Xiaobei thought of getting rid of them.

But now, Xiaobei decided to let that go, because their lives or deaths didn't affect him in any way, so it truly didn't matter...

"Alright, you can leave now!"

Hearing Xiaobei's words, they widened their eyes in astonishment, shortly staring dully at Xiaobei.

"You... what did you say?"

Hearing their incredulous question, Xiaobei narrowed his eyes and coldly said, "I said you can go, what? Don't you want to leave? If so, then just stay!"
