Chapter 186: Chapter 186: Forming an Alliance

So when Li Wenli set up the trap and came to check on it, he was thrilled to find that someone had been caught.

However, he never expected to be fooled by someone yet again.

The net had not captured a person at all but straw!

And just as he opened the net, a spear suddenly flew towards him.

Seeing this scene, Li Wenli was taken aback. This move seemed somewhat familiar.

Could it be that it wasn’t a band of mountain bandits hiding in the valley, but an old rival he had dealt with several times before?

With this thought, Li Wenli no longer held back and prepared a third trap.

Moreover, he used every bit of knowledge in his brain to set up the trap flawlessly, ensuring that whoever entered would be severely punished.

At that time, Bai Lingyu had no idea that the person Li Wenli was trying to deal with was her own sister, and she was happily helping him dig sand and arrange decoys.

She even sacrificed her own cloak for the decoy to wear.

She wholeheartedly thought that Li Wenli was after a pig thief, after all, the wild pigs had been tormenting them by showing up in the middle of the night these past few days, and just when they finally caught a wild pig, it was stolen!

Who knew that not only did they fail to find the pig thief, but they also found Bai Junjun, no, the pig thief was found, and so was the elder sister.

So Bai Lingyu happily grabbed onto Bai Junjun, unwilling to let go.

Li Wenli watched the siblings reunite, struggling to speak, wanting Bai Lingyu to follow him, but with her sister by her side, he had no right to ask Bai Lingyu to leave with him.

Unless...

There was an imperceptible flash of excitement in Li Wenli’s eyes, if her sister was no longer in this world, and Bai Lingyu became a true orphan, then...

Bai Junjun suddenly felt the madness in Li Wenli’s eyes and looked back at him calmly with a raised eyebrow, "What are you trying to do?"

"..." Li Wenli was brought back to reality by the other person’s indifferent voice, and he silently gestured, preparing to leave.

Bai Lingyu, with sharp eyes, quickly spoke up, "Brother Fox, where are you going?"

"Now that your family is reunited, it’s time for me to step back," Li Wenli replied, preparing to walk towards the pool.

But Bai Lingyu looked up somewhat reluctantly, "Elder sister, can we let Brother Fox join us?"

"Doesn’t seem like a good idea," Bai Junjun said, not nodding while looking at the silhouette.

"But Brother Fox is really formidable," Bai Lingyu added. "Brother Fox knows a lot of wild fruits and vegetables, and his cooking is delicious."

"!" Bai Junjun.

...

For some reason, after hearing Bai Lingyu’s enticing words, Bai Junjun allowed her former fiancé to join their team.

This was her former fiancé, after all. She wondered what would happen if he recognized her now; what sort of situation would it become?

However, having already invited him to join, it suddenly seemed inappropriate to ask him to leave.

After much consideration, Bai Junjun decided it was best to set some ground rules during this peaceful period.

"I cannot tolerate being stabbed in the back, so we need to set some ground rules first: we are free to come and go as we please without being bound; once an alliance is formed, there should be no betrayal for the duration of the alliance," she said.

"What you said is exactly what I was going to say," he replied.

Li Wenli smiled and extended his hand, and Bai Junjun shook it graciously.

However, after shaking hands, they both paused, looking at each other with a hint of peculiarity in their eyes.

This was modern etiquette, after all; how did the other know it?

The sense of familiarity from their previous encounter once again surfaced, and both of them scrutinized each other with renewed vigilance.

But this feeling was quickly suppressed.

They both nodded politely to each other again, yet the smiles did not reach their eyes.
