Lin Yuan nearly spat out a mouthful of blood. Would this woman die if she didn't set herself against me?
"You…"
Lin Yuan originally wanted to shout abusive words directed against her, but after receiving the look Yun Xiao cast at him, his body suddenly trembled and swallowed his words.
He fiercely sucked in a breath and attempted another method of persuasion. "I know that you are extremely discontented towards me, but I have always conducted myself honestly. Since I've said that the treasures in the Forest of No Return will be given to them, then I will absolutely not take anything extra."
Yun Luofeng shallowly smiled, "Then why are you snatching the medicinal herbs?"
"Medicinal herbs aren't considered treasures!" Lin Yuan glared at Yun Luofeng and spoke with irritation.
"In my eyes, all precious items are considered to be treasures!" Yun Luofeng lowered her hands and her eyes swept past everyone present, "Nonetheless, I have a suggestion. All of you can keep the medicinal herbs first and give them to him after discovering other treasures."
Everyone nodded their head in succession. That is a good idea!
"City Lord, since you claim that there are precious treasures unearthed in the Forest of No Return, then there will definitely be treasures. As such, we will safeguard these medicinal herbs first, and you shouldn't have any complaints, right?"
Lin Yuan's expression became increasingly unsightly as his tightly clenched fist produced cracking sounds. A powerful expert no longer cared about Lin Yuan's face as he turned towards one stalk of a medicinal herb! This time around, even if they did not discover any treasures, they wouldn't suffer a loss with these medicinal herbs in hand.
"Hold it!"
Lin Yuan angrily shouted and rushed in haste towards the expert who was just about to pick the medicinal herb! His aura gushed forth with a loud rumble and in a flash, he sent that expert flying!
The crowd quietened down at this moment...
Everyone turned towards Lin Yuan as their eyes clearly contained disbelief.
"You're not continuing your act?" Yun Luofeng quirked her eyebrow and asked while seemingly smiling yet not smiling.
Lin Yuan coldly shot a glance at Yun Luofeng before his gaze turned towards others who were dumbstruck while he coldly snorted, "I'd like to see who dares to touch these medicinal herbs today!"
After all, it was unlikely that these people who came today would ever leave, so it was impossible for his true colors to be revealed. Since so, he no longer continued acting and openly revealed his strength, making those people not to dare to make the slightest move!
"Lin Yuan, you lied to us!"
Among the group, a beautiful woman reacted first and her face revealed inward anger.
"Initially, you said that after coming into the Forest of No Return, all the treasure would belong to us. However, right now, you want to seize all the medicinal herbs! To think I was previously touched by your words!"
"I regarded you as an upright gentleman, but I didn't expect you to be a hypocrite! As expected, that kind of daughter would come from the same type of father, and the both of you are unkind souls!"
"Chuckle, I should have guessed long before now that if someone can even disregard their own daughter, how good of a person can they be? It's just that I chose to believe in you…"
Everyone's state of mind was somewhat agitated as they angrily glared at Lin Yuan. Their expression was just like they wanted to step forward and dismember him into pieces!
"Hmph!" Lin Yuan coldly snorted, "So what if I lied to you? You were too stupid and believed my words! Do you truly think I came here just to search for treasures? That's such a joke, an extremely funny joke!"
His expression was extremely malevolent as he coldly swept his gaze across everyone.
After that, he looked at Yun Luofeng but his gaze no longer contained his previous opposing attitude.
"The others are unworthy to obtain these medicinal herbs, so how about the two of us split it among ourselves? Furthermore, continuing on the road, we require each other's cooperation."
