A couple of people were seated within the heavy atmosphere of the hall. Among them was the one who had many conflicts with Xiao Yan, Mu Li.

On the leader's seat in the hall sat a middle-aged man with a slightly gloomy face. His finger lightly tapped on the tabletop. Finally, he was the one who broke the silence in the room.

"I've just received news that among the groups that we had sent out to search, a two-man team went missing within the middle part of the Magic Beast Mountain Range." The slightly hoarse voice of the middle-aged man slowly sounded in the room.

"Father. Could they have met with an attack by a Magic Beast?" Mu Li smiled carelessly as he replied. Being killed by a Magic Beast was very common in the Mystical Beast Mountain Range.

Hearing Mu Li's address, this middle-aged man could only be concluded to be the leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Company, Mu She.

"If they had met with a Magic Beast attack, there should have been some traces of such a fight. However.. the mercenaries that we sent to reinforce them found no traces of a fight after searching the region that the pair was in charge of. If we eliminate the possibility of them falling from a cliff, a mistake that only a novice mercenary would make, I think that they may have been attacked by another person. Those missing traces of battle may have been the doing of that person." Mu She emotionless said as he shook his head.

"Are you suspecting that this is the doing of Xiao Yan?" Upon hearing Mu She's reasoning, Mu Li stilled. He quickly shook his head and said, "I've exchange blows with that guy. With his strength, to be able to kill two five star Dou Zhe before they even have the chance to raise a signal... it seems impossible."

"I don't care if it's him or not. Tomorrow, we will send more people to carefully search the place." Mu She said in a deep voice. The inborn snake-like cautiousness in him did not allow the slightest chance to pass by him.

A/N: Joke because of his name, She means snake

"Ah, just as well," Mu Li waved his hand and nodded his head indifferently.

"Have you managed to open the stone box that you carried back from the cave?" After scanning his surroundings, Mu She suddenly asked.

"The key to the stone box is in Xiao Yan's hand. I've hired the best locksmith in the entire Qingshan Town but from the looks of it, we can't expect much." Mu Li said with a frown.

"If we cannot open the lock, then we'll try to use force to open the box. To be able to carelessly put aside over seven hundred thousand gold coins and some rare medicinal herbs, this ancient person was likely quite strong. The things that he left behind should also not be anything common." Mu She tightened his fist as greed flashed across his eyes.

"Yes." Mu Li nodded his head and licked his lips. In a low voice, he asked: "Father, what do you intend to do about the Little Fairy Doctor?"

"Do you know what she obtained from the cave?"

Seeing Mu Li helplessly shaking his head, Mu She's eyes narrowed. He waved his hands and said in a deep voice, "We will not touch her for now. Her reputation in Qingshan Town is too good. If we make any rash moves, we may arouse the displeasure of the independent mercenaries."

"Are we just going to allow her to peacefully stay at the 'Thousand Medicinal House'?"

"Haha. It is naturally impossible for her to have any peaceful days. Tomorrow, get someone to spread a rumor. Just say that the Little Fairy Doctor had obtained a relic of some strong person and that this relic was most likely a Xuan Rank Qi Method." Mu She laughed in a cold and evil manner, "That Little Fairy Doctor may be skilled in the art of healing but she's too weak. Not everyone in this world is kind. There will always be some greedy people who would think of ways to obtain the relic from the Little Fairy Doctor... As for how to handle such people, we will let her have a headache over it."
