Ning Yue couldn’t say why, but there was a voice in her heart telling her to be careful about her safety.

Jiang Ying stopped talking. He had a different feeling about his mission to the Black City Kingdom.

As for what was different, he couldn’t tell. He just had a vague feeling.

After walking all the way, it was finally time for dinner. Nan Xing got out of the carriage and stood beside Jiang Ying with a treacherous smile. “I heard that you brought delicious food.”

Actually, he had heard that Ning Yue was very good at cooking, especially in the wilderness.

Wasn’t this the wilderness?

Jiang Ying rolled his eyes at Nan Xing in disdain. Wasn’t it good to tell the truth?

However, he did not expose Nan Xing. “If you want to eat, do it yourself.”

At this moment, Ning Yue also got out of the car. She took pots and pans, some charcoal, and a simple stove from the carriage.

When he saw these things, Nan Xing’s eyes widened. The equipment was completely prepared for wilderness survival.

“Hurry up and help,” Jiang Ying said to Nan Xing.

Nan Xing came back to his senses and hurriedly went forward to help. He was very hardworking and resigned to his fate as Ning Yue’s assistant.

When Ning Yue saw Jiang Ying ordering Nan Xing around, she couldn’t help but laugh. These two people’s relationship was really good.

With Nan Xing and Jiang Ying’s help, Ning Yue prepared a meal. Nan Xing looked at the table full of food in satisfaction.

“Oh, please take me as your disciple,” Nan Xing said to Ning Yue.

Ning Yue, who was eating, almost bit her tongue off. “What disciple?”

Ning Yue felt a deep sense of powerlessness. This Nan Xing looked like a steady person on the surface, but this person gave her a very impetuous feeling now.

After eating and packing, Jiang Ying suddenly pulled Ning Yue behind him. Nan Xing also looked not far away warily.

Baili and the others had already stood around the three of them and surrounded them. Ning Yue had already taken out the medicinal bag she carried with her and stuffed it into Jiang Ying and Nan Xing’s hands.

They did not speak, and Jiang Ying knew what these things were. Although he had the medicinal powder, he still had to be very careful. Ning Yue was beside him, so he could not let anything happen to her.

At this moment, Ning Yue noticed that someone had walked out not far away and was looking at them with a dark expression. When his gaze landed on Ning Yue, a trace of shock flashed across his eyes.

Although he hid his shock very well, Ning Yue saw it clearly.

He walked out and asked them, “Where are you going?”

“Are you questioning us? Do we have to answer to you where we’re going? May

I ask who you are? Where is your family’s ancestral grave?” Nan Xing said unhappily.

At this moment, he could already tell who had sent this person, but he was too lazy to expose him.

The man smiled and said, “I haven’t introduced myself. I’m from the Black City Kingdom. Are you going to the Black City Kingdom?”

Ning Yue was stunned for a moment. She didn’t expect this person to introduce himself. Was he from the Black City Nation?

“No, we’re going to the Gold City,” Nan Xing said.

Ning Yue agreed with Nan Xing’s actions of hiding their itinerary from this person. This way, they could avoid many unnecessary conflicts.

“I received news that two men and a woman are going to the Black City Kingdom. Isn’t it you?” the person said.

Ning Yue was a little speechless. Was this person a fool? Even if it was really them, they would not admit it.

“Brother, I’m a little curious. If you encounter two men and a woman who are going to the Black City Kingdom, how do you plan to deal with them?” Nan Xing asked.

The man smiled and made a throat-slitting gesture. He said, “What can I do? Isn’t it obvious?”

Nan Xing was a little shocked, but he didn’t show it on his face. He smiled and said, “We’re going to Gold City, not the Black City Kingdom. Don’t worry. Besides, we have more than two men and one woman here.”

When that person heard this, he sized up Nan Xing. “Alright, go to Gold City. Don’t block the way here.”

The three of them looked at each other. After packing their luggage, they got into the carriage and left.

On the way, Jiang Ying told Ning Yue that the Gold City was the only way to the Black City Kingdom, so Nan Xing was right to say that they wanted to go to the Gold City.

After traveling for some time, the carriage stopped at the Red City. The three of them found a place to stay.

This was a courtyard house. Nan Xing had rented it when he left the Black City Kingdom so that he could live there when he returned from Great Yun Nation..
