Once More In The Martial World

Chapter 14

"Yes, of course I am familiar. These days I was frequently asked for hunting in the valley, the beasts were too many. From your question, I think you might know why, is there any reason behind it ?", Qin Yu asked Lan Yue as she remembered about the increasing beast activities in the valley for the past few weeks.

She joined a hunters gang when she went to greenwood valley for medicinal and spirit herbs. She accompanied the gang few times and observed the forest, even the day before she went into the forest, she knew that the beasts in the forest are more active than before.

"Yes, Qin Jia. It's because of this matter that I came to Greenwood city this time. Not only me, a few of my senior brothers too are coming for this matter.

Actually, Qin Jia you might have heard of spotted fire grass ?", Lan Yue asked him.

"Yes I do know it. That's a fire elemental 3rd grade spirit grass. Even I collected a few strands of them yesterday. Does it have anything to do with your business here in Greenwood city?", Qin Yu asked Lan Yue in confusion. For a 3rd grade spirit grass she doesn't care about. But if a 3rd grade spirit grass starts growing in the forest then there's definitely a possibility for the increase in beasts activities.

"Spotted fire grass, haa.. spotted fire grass.. Oh, so is this the time when the fruit ripens?", Liu Ye asked Lan Yue from the side. He is sure about what's happening but still he has to ask her. With his experience, he sure knows about these plants and herbs.

"Oh! Liu Ye, you know about the fruits?", Lan Yue asked Liu Ye in surprise. she didn't thought Liu Ye to figure out the matter.

"aaa.. I run a herbs shop!", Liu Ye said with a wide smile.

" oh yes, right. It's natural you know about them", Lan Yue smiled at him, she thought running a herbs selling business, Liu Ye must have known about them.

"Then Qin Jia you should have heard about Flame baby fruits?", seeing that Qin Yu hasn't figured out, Lan Yue asked her.

"Flame baby fruits, those small fruits slightly in the shape of a baby fist! Those are fire elemental 5th grade spirit fruits, Did you came here for them?", Qin Yu immediately asked her as her eyes brighten. She's a fire elemental cultivator and a 5th grade rare spirit fruit like Flame baby fruit can still help her.

"Yes, our sect sent us here to collect them", Lan Yue replied her.

"Is this matter not known to others? I haven't heard about it from public and from my hunting gang", a 5th grade spirit fruit moreover a rare one amongst them, she hasn't heard people speaking about it in her gang yesterday and the public aren't discussing about it too, it felt strange to her.

"Looks like you only heard about it and don't know much about Flame baby fruit. It takes between 130-150 years for Flame baby fruit to ripen. So common people here doesn't much about it and you also joined a seemingly weak hunting gang, so they might not know. This matter is recorded in many big clans, sects and higher authority records. Only during the few days before the fruit ripens this matter spreads and later it people forget about it", Lan Yue said to Qin Jia.

"okay. So how do you reach the tree, do you have map about where the tree is and how does other people reach the tree ?", Qin Yu asked Lan Yue, when she learnt many other people might search for the fruit too.

"Yes, we do have one, others might have too. some people follow the spotted fire grass and reach the tree", Lan Yue said to Qin Jia about way to reach the tree.

"Oh, okay", Qin Yu said to her.

"So, Qin Jia, I want to ask if you are interested to join us", Lan Yue immediately asked her. She saw Qin Jia's strength when he saved her from a 5th level beast with a single slash of his sword. With Qin Jia's strength, he can join them and she can have plenty of time to spend with him.

"I can accompany, but we just got into trouble with the city lord and I can't leave him..", Qin Yu said as she turned to look at Liu Ye. Flame Baby fruit, she never took it, it's rare in her world too but not too rare as in this world. And she also consumed resources much rare than Flame Baby fruit. Now she needs to worry about Liu Ye's safety first.

"This..", Lan Yue and Su Meifeng turned to look at Liu Ye.

"Hey, I want to join too", Liu ye saisd as he looked at the three of them.

He started cultivating and he wants to travel and enjoy the wilderness.

"But you are just a Body tempering 4th layer cultivator. We might deal with 5th rank and possibly 6th rank beasts too. How can you join us, Qin Jia can't look after you all the time", Lan Yue asked him. She doesn't know the true cultivation of Liu Ye but if he's really a 4th layer Body Tempering cultivator then this trip will be dangerous to Liu Ye. Liu Ye is a friend of her she can't just take him to a dangerous place.

"You can stay with our Su family?", Su Meifeng on the side immediately asked him.

"Yes, You can stay with the Su clan during this time", Lan Yue agreed with Su Meifeng as she looked at both Qin Yu and Liu Ye. Su clan is one of the biggest clan in Greenwood city and they can provide safety to Liu Ye there without worrying about any troubles from the city lord.

Qin Yu was thinking about Su Meifeng's solution.

"No, I want to join you. You don't have to worry about my safety. You can believe me if the situation is too dangerous I can escape.

Moreover it's better for me not to stay at Miss Su's family and trouble them ", Liu Ye said as he looked at the three of them seriously. He can escape easily with the systems help from dangerous situations.

And if he stays at Su clan and it's leaked, the rumours about him having relationship with Su Meifeng might intensify, while the powerful cultivator image he want to put forward in front of the city lord through the city guard could collapse.

"Okay, He can join us too, I think there's no problem", Qin Yu nodded her head, Liu Ye's an experienced person and they might not have to worry about them much.

"If you say so then it's okay", Lan Yue didn't objected again seeing both Qin Jia and Liu Ye decided. Su Meifeng was disappointed when Liu Ye said no.

"So when are we going?", Liu Ye asked Lan Yue.
