Chapter 384: 384. The stroke of luck came too quickly

In the Deep Mountain Bamboo Sea, Fang Zhou held an oil-paper umbrella, flying slowly through the air.

Xu Xian was fleeing not far ahead. The rain and the night not only affected Fang Zhou’s perception but also greatly limited Xu Xian’s senses, making her unable to detect the pursuer behind her.

If he made a move now, it would be easy to apprehend this woman covered in poison, but Fang Zhou was not in a hurry because he was curious about where Xu Xian could find reinforcements in this remote mountain forest.

He was also curious about the background of this couple. If it were to accumulate wealth, there was no need for such trouble, and Li Yuanming did not seem like a man who wanted to change the world’s views.

This couple must have other motives for supporting the male rights organization.

Xu Xian hadn’t realized that the enemy she desperately wanted to shake off was right behind her. She had climbed over two mountain peaks to reach the depths of the Bamboo Sea.

A small courtyard in the forest appeared before her.

The courtyard wasn’t big, with a roof covered in lush green foliage, completely hidden within the bamboo forest.

If Xu Xian hadn’t led the way, Fang Zhou would also have difficulty finding this place from the air.

Xu Xian arrived at the entrance but did not dare to knock and stood outside the gate, shouting loudly, "Subordinate Poison Lady requests an urgent meeting with the General!"

After shouting, Xu Xian stood obediently outside the gate, waiting.

The courtyard was silent, with only a few flickers of light emanating from the windows. Xu Xian’s voice seemed to sink without a trace, causing no stir within.

Xu Xian stood like a piece of wood outside the gate, enduring the wind and rain, not daring to make more noise to urge.

Fang Zhou silently observed the forest courtyard. There was nothing unusual about it from the outside.

To avoid alerting the snake, he also didn’t get too close, only watching from a distance.

After about the time it takes to burn half an incense stick, the door of the small house within the courtyard creaked open, and a woman holding an oil-paper umbrella walked out.

Fang Zhou, with his superb vision, could see clearly this woman’s appearance from afar.

He first found it very familiar, and soon recalled who it was.

Jin Xihai!

She had once attempted to abduct Wang Xiuzhu but escaped from Fang Zhou after being stopped by him.

The reason Fang Zhou remembered Jin Xihai is that she clearly practiced Ling Xiaoyue’s skill, which might be related to Fang Zhou’s missing senior sister.

Ling Xiaoyue even asked Fang Zhou to spare some time to check on Jin Xihai’s whereabouts to see if they could trace and find the missing senior sister.

If the senior sister had already turned into a rich lady, Ling Xiaoyue would definitely use her status as a mentor to freeload. If the senior sister was impoverished, she was most likely to believe she never accepted this disciple, being incredibly pragmatic.

Fang Zhou verbally agreed but did not take it seriously, thinking the Cultivation World is so vast, finding someone is akin to finding a needle in a haystack, and Jin Xihai being a hiding cultist, he would only find her again if he stepped in dog shit.

Unexpectedly, the dog shit luck came so fast, slapping him directly in the face.

Moreover, seeing Jin Xihai here meant that Xu Xian and Li Yuanming were members of the True Mother God Sect.

What the heck, an extreme feminist organization secretly supporting a male rights organization?

Is this some black humor comedy?

Fang Zhou couldn’t help but scoff in his heart but didn’t rush to conclusions.

Because it is said that all members of the True Mother God Sect are women, treating men as pigs and dogs, so what’s up with Li Yuanming?

Could he be a temporary worker?

Driven by curiosity, Fang Zhou moved a little closer to listen to their conversation.

After Jin Xihai came out, she slowly crossed the courtyard to open the gate.

Xu Xian looked delighted but restrained herself from speaking, waiting for Jin Xihai’s command.

Maybe she would be let in, or maybe told to scram, both were possible.

Jin Xihai stared at Xu Xian for a moment before saying plainly, "Come in."

Xu Xian was thrilled, repeatedly expressing gratitude, "Thank you, officer! Thank you, officer!"

Jin Xihai’s strength might not necessarily be stronger than Xu Xian’s, but being close to the leadership, her status was naturally higher than these small fry.

With a blank expression, Jin Xihai led Xu Xian inside the courtyard, stopping in front of the house.

A clear and ethereal voice sounded from within the house: "Poison Lady, for what reason have you come at night?"

Upon hearing this voice, Xu Xian immediately knelt with a thud, "Lakefront Manor encountered a strong enemy, I beg the General for rescue..."

In a quick and concise manner, she narrated the event.

Of course, she subtly enhanced Fang Zhou’s strength from suspecting it was Innate Realm to confirming it, to prevent the leader inside from thinking she fled from a strong enemy.

It’s not that I’m cowardly afraid of death, but really can’t beat him.

In the air, Fang Zhou was already quite close. Hearing Xu Xian mention the word "General," his brow furrowed immediately.

The house fell into silence, and Xu Xian deeply bowed her head after speaking, not daring to raise her hand to wipe away the rainwater drenching her body.

After a long pause, the voice inside finally spoke again, "Poison Lady, if the masked man is indeed as you described, an Innate Realm expert, then there are only two reasons you could make it here alive."

Xu Xian instinctively raised her head.

"First, the opponent isn’t interested in killing you, indifferent to your escape. Second, the opponent intentionally let you go to lead the way."

Xu Xian felt as if she heard thunder, turning pale in fright.

Jin Xihai swiftly turned around, scanning the surroundings, but the night and rain obscured her vision, revealing nothing.

"Poof!"

A verdant bamboo leaf pierced through the window, shooting into the pitch-black night, tracing a long mark amidst the rain.

In the air, Fang Zhou pinched with two fingers to grip this verdant bamboo leaf while eavesdropping.

The bamboo leaf was ordinary, but infused with Innate True Qi, rendering it harder than steel, sharper than a blade.

Fang Zhou sensed a familiar taste from the Innate True Qi on the bamboo leaf, recalling it being somewhere else.

Soon, he remembered it was above West Lake in Yangzhou of Qi Country, where due to nearly colliding boats, both he and another Innate Realm expert coincidentally intervened and discovered one another.

What a coincidence it is, to meet again here.

The door reopened, and a woman in a moon-white long dress stepped out from inside the house.

She wore a veil, revealing only a pair of star-like bright eyes, looking over toward Fang Zhou through the rain and night from afar.

Jin Xihai and Xu Xian quickly bowed their heads in greeting, shocked in their hearts.

The General personally comes out; the enemy indeed has followed.

Especially Xu Xian felt fearful and uneasy, as the enemy followed her here.

"You two hide away first, be cautious not to be found."

Yun Zheyue instructed with a sentence before stepping out from under the eaves, slowly levitating.

She didn’t bring an umbrella, but the rainwater slid away automatically as it neared her body, seeming as though an invisible film was separating the rain from her contact.

Ascending into the air, Yun Zheyue observed the night, looking into the man with the oil-paper umbrella and masked.

She also recognized him. This was precisely the Innate Realm expert she encountered previously at West Lake.

Coincidence? Or intentional?
