Gu Ruoyun's eyes flickered. She then stroked her chin and asked, "Can you take me to the road which is guarded by this powerful spiritual beast?"

The Nemesis Forest is a labyrinth. No matter how powerful Gu Ruoyun was at this moment, she would still need to spend some time in order to find an exit through the Nemesis Forest's maze. She does not wish to waste her time on that!

Hence, these people could show her the way out!

As for that powerful spiritual beast who was guarding the way out, it would not be too big of an issue for her to handle.

"This..." The handsome wan was stunned and he asked hesitatingly, "Miss, that spiritual beast is a mid-level Martial Supreme. If we go there, we will most definitely be met with peril! That's the reason why we've never used that road during the past month."

Gu Ruoyun stared calmly at the handsome man and replied serenely, "You only need to take me there. You won't need to do anything else after that. I'll take care of it all."

The handsome man frowned and was about to speak again when the mercenaries behind him chimed in.

"Leader, these two are strangers, we shouldn't trust them too easily! Who knows if they're trying to lead us there on purpose! Especially since these are two youngsters. We reckon that the Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries has sent them here to spy on us!"

As it turns out, the person who had said those words was the middle-aged man who had complained in the beginning. He simply could not believe that there would be anyone else in the Nemesis Forest! Especially two young people. He guessed that they were enemies sent by the Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries to beguile them!

"I don't think that they're bad people." Gu Lan replied weakly.

"What do you know?" The middle-aged man glared at Gu Lan and replied irritably, "The Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries have always been treacherous. These two are fairly good looking. Are you under the impression that the mainland is filled with handsome men and pretty women until you can bump into two of them at any moment? Women. You still judge a person's character by their looks! I can't shake this feeling that their appearance here was no coincidence!"

Gu Lan stuck out her tongue. Indeed, she does believe that all good-looking people would not be villains. 1

However, she did not have the gall to admit to this. Her crescent-shaped eyes continued to stare curiously at Gu Ruoyun and her brother.

"Uncle Ying," the handsome man said before he paused. He then slowly spoke again, "I feel that we should give it a try. If we continue to stay here, we'll lose our lives one day so why don't we take the risk? Besides, I don't see anything wrong with Lan'er's opinion. They really don't look like bad guys."

"Leader."

Uncle Ying exclaimed bitterly and hatefully. He really never expected his Leader to have such an opinion! Only an idiot would determine a person's character based purely on their looks!

Of course, what he does not know was that his Leader does not share Gu Lan's opinion.

To the Leader, he had concluded that Gu Ruoyun and her brother do not have any bad intentions based on the power he had sensed from the woman in green! To her, annihilating them would not be such a difficult feat!

Hence, there was simply no need for her to lead them to the spiritual beast!

"Since the Leader has already made the decision, as a subordinate, I would naturally have nothing more to say," sighed the middle-aged man. He then continued, "However, if anything bad does happen in the end, let us be the one to shield you from all danger. When that time comes, you must run, Leader! As long as the green hills are there, one need not worry about firewood! As long as you're still alive, Leader, even if our entire troop was destroyed, we still have hopes for a revival!"

Uncle Ying did not forget to send Gu Ruoyun a warning look as he said these words.

If they truly do commence their evil plans, I will drag them both to hell even if I have to sacrifice my own life!
