Chapter 1265: Chapter 1265: It’s Really Hard to Build Good Relationships

Lu Yi couldn’t help but look down on him, "No wonder you didn’t dare to let Miss Lin come along and had Sister Su watch over, you were getting cozy with a beauty. It would be strange if Miss Lin didn’t lose her temper."

"That’s not the point." Gu Fan replied to Lu Yi and then, with a sly grin, said to Mo Yun, "Master, you’ve become a lot prettier recently. Could it be the nourishment of love? You always said women in love grow more beautiful—oh dear..."

A streak of qi struck right beside Gu Fan’s feet, startling him into dodging and cutting off his rambling speech.

All he saw was Mo Yun looking cold and impatient, "Speak quickly if you’re going to speak, fart quickly if you’re going to fart."

"Exactly, beating around the bush is no good." Gu Fan put on a serious face and coughed a few times. "Alright, since we’re all straightforward people, I’ll cut to the chase. I want to get some information from you."

"Information?" Mo Yun’s brow furrowed, but she quickly understood, then showed a disdainful smile, "You want to know what dangers lie ahead, right? You want to prepare, right? You want to reduce the difficulty, right? You think of me, right? Dream on. I won’t tell you anything?"

Hearing this, Gu Fan smiled wryly and shook his head, "Master, don’t be so heartless? Since you’re using us to explore this area, you ought to give us some direction, provide some information. Helping us accomplishes your goals as well—it’s a win-win situation."

"Win-win my foot. Aren’t you all proud and confident with the Destiny Stone Body Guard? If you’re so capable, go ahead." Mo Yun was unreasonably stubborn, making Gu Fan quite uncomfortable. "Master, let bygones be bygones. We’re now risking dangers to explore this area for you. Show some support and encouragement. Your prestigious Organization X is so vast, don’t be petty."

"You want some information, sure, but first let me beat you up to vent my anger." After saying this, Mo Yun actually started flexing her fists, eager to try.

Gu Fan immediately protested, "Stop kidding. If you beat me to serious injury, how am I supposed to proceed on my journey?"

"Don’t think I don’t know, your girlfriend knows magic. As long as you have a breath in you, she can bring you back." Mo Yun waved at Gu Fan, her mouth curling into a grin, "Enough talk, let’s get this over with. I’ve wanted to beat you up for not just a year or two."

Lu Yi, standing nearby, exclaimed, "How much resentment do you have to harbor to hate him like this, Gu Fan? What exactly did you do to your master? Even your ex-girlfriend Leng Le didn’t hate you this much." Mentioning Leng Le, Lu Yi suddenly realized, "I get it now, only romantic betrayal could make a woman hate you this much. It must have been a master-disciple romance, no wonder you couldn’t let Miss Lin come along."

At the mention of a master-disciple romance, Mo Yun’s face darkened. She hadn’t even exploded in anger when she saw Gu Fan getting more anxious, "Buddy, I asked you here to back me up, not to make wild guesses. You’re going to get me in trouble."

"What, a master-disciple romance? Gu Fan, you better explain yourself clearly." Lin Xi’s roaring voice came from not far away and the wind picked up, causing the entire forest to tremble beneath the storm.

Lu Yi realized he had spoken amiss and quickly covered his mouth, looking very apologetic.

"Sorry, Master, my friend is tactless. If you’re angry and want to hit someone, you can hit him." Gu Fan immediately redirected the blame to Lu Yi, and now Lu Yi was panicking, "What do you mean, changing it from your beating to mine? Were you planning this all along by saying you needed me to back you up, just to make me take the fall?"

Gu Fan thought so, "It’s your blunder, you should take responsibility."

Lu Yi directly retorted, "It’s clearly your fault for offending her, and now you blame it on me."

Watching Gu Fan and Lu Yi endlessly arguing, as if Mo Yun, a beautiful woman, was just for decoration, made Mo Yun very displeased. "Enough, you two stop arguing. Can we talk business seriously? If we can, let’s discuss it properly, if not, I’m leaving."

"Sorry, Master, I also got carried away." Gu Fan chuckled and tried to smooth things over, but Lu Yi’s meddling had already defused Mo Yun’s desire to fight.

To this point, Lu Yi was still confused and scratched his head, "Did we just get off topic?"

"Alright, since you want to know what dangers lie ahead, I’ll be generous and tell you. After all, I hope you can make it far." Mo Yun said, her smile cryptic, making Gu Fan a bit nervous, feeling that this woman must be planning some way to retaliate.

Afterward, Mo Yun revealed a lot of useful information to Gu Fan and his companions, including what dangers they would encounter if they continued on their path.

Gu Fan made a grateful expression, "Master, thank you. Even though you keep saying you hate me, I know you still care about your disciple. No matter what unpleasantness has occurred between us, I don’t want anything to happen to you, and you don’t want anything to happen to me either, because the bond of master and disciple between us is irreplaceable..."

Watching Gu Fan pour on the sentiment, Mo Yun felt nauseous, and Lu Yi couldn’t bear to listen, directly interrupting, "No way, you think you can resolve the grudge between you and your master with a few words? You think your master is easy to deceive?"

Now Gu Fan was embarrassed, believing himself to have spoken too much.

Mo Yun waved her hand dismissively, "Don’t think I will forgive you easily. I’m helping you based on the interests of Organization X. As for our personal grudges, we’ll settle them when you come back alive."

"Alright, I will come back alive, and then come to see you." Gu Fan had just finished speaking when he suddenly remembered something, "Master, could you tell me if Organization X has been sending people to explore this area?"

"Yes, almost every year someone is sent to explore, but each time they end up returning unsuccessful, with many casualties." Mo Yun was a bit puzzled and counter-questioned, "Why do you want to know this?"

Gu Fan looked serious, "I want to know when the last time Organization X explored this area was."

"About two weeks ago," Mo Yun said, instantly chilling Gu Fan’s heart, as that was exactly when Jie had lost contact.

Gu Fan swallowed hard, a trace of panic and anxiety surfacing, then asked, "The exploration two weeks ago, did anyone come back alive?"

Mo Yun didn’t even think before answering directly, "No, not a single one came back alive."

Hearing this, the hearts of both Gu Fan and Lu Yi sank, then a chilling sensation washed over them from head to toe.
