Chapter 497: Chapter 497 - Chapter 497 Creepy

“F*ck! This little girl has such a big mouth. Be careful, Grandpa will eat you.’ The Three-tailed Crocodile was very unhappy after being scolded by Qi Xin.

However, because of Lu Benwei’s face, he only muttered in a low voice.

Qi Ming stood up and raised his chin. “Brother, I think I know you. You must be Qi Tianci’s secretary.”

“Yes.” Lu Benwei nodded and replied, “My name is Chu Lu. I’m the secretary of the Qi family head.”

Qi Ming nodded slightly and replied with narrowed eyes, “Brother Chu, you don’t have to be so polite. Is Brother Qi Tianci here yet?”

Qi Tianci was a member of the Qi family and shared the same grandfather as Qi Ming. Therefore, it was not a problem for Qi Ming to call Qi Tianci his little brother.

Lu Benwei found it strange. Why did Qi Ming suddenly ask about Qi Tianci’s whereabouts? However, he replied, “Master Qi only sent me here. He was worried about the safety of the two of you and asked me to look for you.”

After Qi Ming heard this, his brows unconsciously furrowed slightly. Then, they quickly relaxed. “You can go back first. Don’t worry about our safety.”

Lu Benwei noticed the subtle expression on Qi Ming’s face. It was as if his appearance had disrupted Qi Ming’s plan.

However, the most important thing now was to find the old beggar. Lu Benwei did not care about their plans.

Thinking of this, Lu Benwei raised his head and looked at the people the Qi siblings had hired.

“I’m relieved to see that there are so many experts protecting Young Master Qi Ming and Miss Qi Xin. Farewell!”

After saying that, he urged the Three-tailed Crocodile to turn around and leave.

Not long after, Lu Benwei and the Three-tailed Crocodile disappeared from the Qi siblings’ sight.

Qi Ming’s eyes flashed with malice.

“I was wondering why Qi Tianci was so attentive. It turns out that he had ulterior motives! He moved the Qi family’s training ground!”

“Brother, what should we do now?” Qi Xin frowned and pulled Qi Ming’s hand as she asked.

“Since Qi Tianci has overstepped the rules of the Qi family, there’s no need for us to give him any face,” Qi Ming said viciously.

“Da Hu, Er Hu, I want to see the head of that kid.”

“Yes!” the hunters named Da Hu and Er Hu responded and then headed in the direction Lu Benwei had gone.

On the other side, Lu Benwei had the Three-tailed Crocodile sped up.

The Three-tailed Crocodile was very puzzled and said, “Boss, why are we walking so fast?”

“They will definitely catch up and kill us. I don’t want to hurt anyone,” Lu Benwei replied indifferently.

The Three-tailed Crocodile was even more confused. Lu Benwei did not respond and kept urging the Three-tailed Crocodile to speed up. In the end, they were still caught up by Da Hu and Er Hu. They were assassin and archer respectively, and speed was their forte.

“Why did you come to kill me?” Lu Benwei asked coldly.

“Aren’t you asking the obvious?” Da Hu smiled slyly and said disdainfully.

“If I say that I really don’t know anything and that everything is a misunderstanding, will you believe me?” Lu Benwei warned.

“Brat, do you think we’re idiots?” Er Hu teased.

“In that case, there’s nothing more to say.” Lu Benwei’s eyes were cold as he lowered his head and said to the Three-tailed Crocodile, “Leave one alive.”

The Three-tailed Crocodile let out a strange cry and pounced forward.

The assassin named Da Hu was just about to hide when the Three-tailed Crocodile had already arrived in front of him. Its body continued to grow larger and larger. It opened its blood-red mouth and swallowed Da Hu in one gulp. Not even a corpse was left.

When the man named Er Hu saw this, he immediately shivered and dropped the bow in his hand.

“You… Are you a monster?”

Er Hu’s face turned pale, and his voice trembled.

The Three-tailed Crocodile licked its lips and said, “What else?”

Then, it spat out a few bones with traces of blood on them.

“You humans are really not tasty.”

Er Hu was so frightened that he fell to the ground.

“Spare my life, spare my life.”

Lu Benwei slowly stepped forward and said, “I can spare you. Tell me clearly why the Qi family is looking for me.”

Er Hu swallowed hard. “It’s the Qi family’s ancestral land. We were hired by the eldest son of the Qi family to protect them.”

“Where’s the treasured land of the Qi family’s ancestors?” Lu Benwei asked.

“Huh?” Xiao Hu was confused. “This is the Qi family’s ancestral treasure land. They said that this place is very beneficial to the Qi family’s cultivation.”

Lu Benwei and the Three-tailed Crocodile were also puzzled. “How could this mountain be the Qi family’s ancestral treasure land?” The Three-tailed Crocodile felt that Er Hu was lying and broke his left leg. “The first mountain is in the middle of nowhere. It doesn’t even have any monster fur. How can it be some training ground of the Qi family?” Er Hu cried out in pain, and tears flowed out. “Master Crocodile, everything I said is true! I saw Young Master Qi Ming’s bloodline awaken with my own eyes.”

“Since his bloodline has awakened, why isn’t he leaving?” The Three-tailed Crocodile’s eyes were about to pop out, thinking that Er Hu was lying. “Young Master Qi Ming has awakened, but Miss Qi Xin’s bloodline hasn’t awakened yet.

So, we plan to stay here for a few more days.

The Qi family hired us on a daily basis, so we hope to stay here for a few more days.”

“Master Crocodile, you might not believe it, but please believe it.”

Lu Benwei nodded. “What he said should be true. Everyone’s talent is different. It’s normal for the bloodline to awaken sooner or later. One last question. What is the bloodline awakening of the Qi family?”

Er Hu pondered for a while. “It seems to be a dog with two heads. When the bloodline was awakened, the Qi family’s totem was faintly discernible. It looked quite scary.” Lu Benwei and the Three-tailed Crocodile glanced at each other, and then the Three-tailed Crocodile knocked out Er Hu with a punch.

“Big brother, what should we do now? Why does the Qi family look so similar to that hellhound?”

“No matter what, it’s more important to save people first.” Lu Benwei thought for a while. “If we run into the Qi family, we’ll settle the score with them.”

On the other side, at the Qi family’s camp.

Qi Xin sat on a rock and pouted. “Brother, why aren’t Da Hu and Er Hu back yet?” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

...

Qi Ming slowly opened his eyes. “Don’t worry about them. Feel the summoning of your bloodline power. Leave this place as soon as possible.”

“I’ve already said it 800 times. I have to go to the peak.” Qi Xin rolled his eyes. “That voice has been guiding me. It’s useless for me to awaken here.”

Qi Ming sighed lightly when he heard this.

Then, he patted Qi Xin’s head. “You actually thought of finding your own reasons.”
