"F*ck! He's only here for the share money."

"Tsk, it's really our luck to be having such a weaker bunch in our group."

The group of six grumbled by themselves and resumed to their position. Meanwhile, the three people group already positioned one of them as the driver once more and drove the carriage forward.

Their gaze when they looked at Lin Xiao and the others were also filled with contempt.

It was clear that they looked down on them.

Lin Xiao was speechless. He then turned around to look at the others but they all shook their head while trying to hide their smiles. His face darkened.

Damn it!

They were all using him as the scapegoat!

"BWAHAHAHAHA!" Inside his consciousness, Lin Hu couldn't hold it in and laughed as loud as possible. He was thinking that Lin Xiao was already quite brave to be speaking up at that time but then he realized that Lin Xiao was only being used by his teammates. 

They didn't want to say the reason because it would be insulting, so they simply waited for Lin Xiao to be the one to retort for them.

So much for being the leader of the bunch.

Lin Xiao immediately cut his connection with Lin Hu so that he would not hear the voice of that dragon mocking him. Right now, he really not wanted to hear them mocking him again for his impulsiveness!

But on another note, it was good enough that they were treated as weak bunch…

At least, his training would not be disturbed.

With that, Lin Xiao resumed back to his training of making the symbols in his head and continued to learn the dragon words.

Inside the carriage, the two girls naturally heard the conversation outside.

"Tsk, there's actually a group who are so shameless that they even hitch a ride for money." Mu Xiao Ya gritted her teeth.

She was already issuing a large amount of reward and that 100,000 gold coins were per person. If she had to pay for the useless group too, it was very infuriating.

Of course, money didn't mean much for her but she still did not want to waste money for nothing.

"They're also not interested in your charm." Lei Xing Yi naturally also realized their reaction when Mu Xiao Ya greeted them all.

"Hmph, country bumpkins like that are really not worthy for my attention." Mu Xiao Ya gritted her teeth in annoyance.

Lei Xing Yi didn't say anything and silently closed her eyes. She was tired and didn't have any intention to argue with Mu Xiao Ya. Once this girl was already up for something, Lei Xing Yi naturally knew that she herself would never be able to stop the other party.

She always felt tired around Mu Xiao Ya without her even knowing the reason.

Time passed.

The distance to Hua Pei City was only two days journey and after a night in the wilderness, they should be able to reach the destination in no time.

Soon, night came and they set up a camp.

There were several more attacks thorough the day but the other two groups dealt with them swiftly. Lin Xiao's group was still seen with contempt while they didn't even care for that.

"Hmm, the forest is big. I wonder if we can roam around to find some herbs?" Lin Xiao was curious.

Princess Lan Yi Hua shook her head. "You better not. The beasts are more dangerous when it's night time compared to day time. If you roam around at night, you will need to have sufficient power."

Lin Xiao nodded. "I understand."

As for the current him, it seemed that his power was not enough yet. He would need to train more so that he could grow stronger.

Prince Lin San swept the area with his Eyes of Truth casually. It was clear that there were already several beasts around but they didn't come near them for some reasons. Whether it was because they were afraid or because they were intimidated or they had plan was unclear.

He glanced at Prince Lin Yan. 

Well, Prince Lin Yan was already at Golden Core Stage 2 and if he emitted even a bit of his aura, it was clear that there wouldn't be any animals who dared to get close to them. But right now, Prince Lin Yan didn't do anything.

Thus, the abnormal behavior of the beasts was strange. 

"There's a village nearby." Prince Lin San noticed through his Eyes of Truth that there was indeed a separate village nearby.

Lin Xiao stretched his hand. "Then, shall we have a look early in the morning? When it's dawn, there should be enough lights for us to explore."

He was going to be bored to death with just having to repeat the words inside his head through Lin Hu's coerced training. Paying a short visit to that small village should be pretty nice.

"We're still in a mission," Princess Lan Yi Hua reminded.

"Just for a bit." Lin Xiao grinned. "Come on, I have never seen villages in Hua Lan Kingdom."

Prince Lin Yan shook his head. What an excuse. He glanced to the other two groups. From the way it looked like, they were also not being accepted in this group either, so there was nothing wrong if Lin Xiao wanted to have a short stroll to pay a visit to that unnamed village.

"You can go there if you want but not alone."

"Yes~!"

Lin Xiao looked around as if asking who would want to come with him. 

Princess Lan Yi Hua chuckled. "I'll come with you."

"Me too."

"Well, I should be able to come." Prince Lin San was more curious to what he had seen with his Eyes of Truth. Because of that, he also wanted to pay a visit to that village when it was dawn.

"Sleep for now."

"Yes."

Setting up their own temporary tent, each of them quickly rest. They didn't want to waste their energy to do nothing when they could use the time to rest. There might be more battle in the future.
