Chapter 24
Very early in the morning the next day, the trio gathered at the sect gate as planned. Long Feng was dressed in a black robe, Yan Jian dressed in a red robe and the lady wore a black cloak which covered every part of her body, including her face.
"This girl is weird. She loves concealing herself, and she loves killing assassin. Quite sneaky" Yan Jian muttered to Long Feng in a low tone.
She instantly glared at him with those blue pupils.
"What now! Don't tell me she heard that." Yan Jian asked softly with a shiver.
"Miss, if you don't mind, what do we call you?" Long Feng asked.
"Yes. We can't go on calling you Miss! Miss! We aren't your servants!" Yan Jian added.
"Call me anything you want." she replied indifferently.
Yan Jian's face darkened before he suddenly smiled.
'I think I will call her witch. It suits her'. He thought to himself, then openly, he said
"You said it yourself. Don't regret it later!"
She ignored him.
"Let's go." She said.
"Now she has made herself leader. Great" Yan Jian chuckled, then leaned in close to Long Feng. "I am telling you, this lady is severely heartbroken. I must say though, I understand the guy's reasoning. Living with such a witch must be exhausting."
Long Feng laughed without saying anything.
The three of them mounted on top of the three horses and spurred them into a gallop.
"Where are we even headed?" Yan Jian asked on the way.
"I think it's the dark moon forest first." Long Feng replied.
The journey to the dark moon forest would take at least two or three days. The forest was located Southwest of Gan Yu region. It was dark all year round with a dense and never fading smell of blood. The forest was a death zone for most Connate level cultivators.
For the whole first day, they kept moving, until the next day. Throughout the journey, Long Feng and Yan Jian chatted away while the lady remained silent. Whether she was listening to them or not was unknown.
They stopped in a small tavern to eat some food later that day.
As they ate, the lady glanced at Long Feng.
"You possess a special soul power. You can use it to scan the surroundings for us once we arrive at the forest. At least, you won't be completely useless." She said.
Long Feng remained silent, not caring about her criticism.
Yan Jian was also in no mood to argue while he starved, so he focused on his meal.
"We didn't even decide on how to share the reward. Thirty Yin crystals. We'll share it equally in three ways." He spoke in between mouthfuls of food.
"Twenty - five - five." The lady suddenly said.
Long Feng looked up at her.
"What do you mean by that?" He asked in confusion.
"I mean, I get twenty crystals and you two get five each. And I also keep the reward for my assassin mission." She responded.
Yan Jian's chopsticks instantly dropped down.
"What! You are just a greedy lion opening your mouth wide!" He half stood up from his seat.
Even Long Feng felt a headache coming up. Her demands were just too much.
"You are lucky I didn't ask for payment for moving with two burdens like you." she replied expressionlessly.
Long Feng and Yan Jian almost puked out of frustration.
"You said going with us made no difference!" Long Feng reminded.
"And that is why I left you five beads each. I am being generous enough already." She replied.
