Chapter 317: Chapter 317 Rescuing Qu Wei
More than twenty people slowly crept closer, and Qi Yue nodded.
The number who died in this wave wasn’t small, making the cleanup much less stressful.
It’s just that Zhao Yongxin really has nine lives; he’s still hopping around alive.
If it wasn’t for the fact that he is, after all, from the Zhao Family, I would really like to give him one and send this troublesome person off.
Seeing that the people across had almost all moved forward, Qi Yue raised her laser gun once more and began shooting.
...
“Plop plop…”
A few people fell to the ground on cue, while the others were stunned.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Qi Yue fired wildly again.
“Ah….”
“Ah….”
Sharp screams rang out in the forest as the remaining people turned and ran, shouting as they went, “Ghosts, there are ghosts…”
Before long, they had run off without a trace.
Huang Zai’an arrived, grinning from ear to ear, his face full of joy.
“Apprentice, I haven’t seen you in more than half a year, and you’ve certainly improved a lot!”
Qi Yue snorted.
“I’ve always been this awesome, okay!”
“Right, right, right, you’ve always been awesome!” Huang Zai’an, twirling his beard, looked at the people on the ground. “Are they all dead? Did you find Qu Wei and Little Shanzi?”
Qi Yue gave him a side glance.
“You still remember Little Shanzi, old man?!”
Huang Zai’an rolled his eyes.
“How could I forget? As your master, I have only two disciples; how could I not care!”
Qi Yue couldn’t be bothered to argue with him and went over to inject the six unconscious people with a needle each, waking them up.
The first to awake took one look at her and ran, only to be caught and dragged back by Huang Zai’an.
Qi Yue took out her laser gun and flashed it in front of the few men, her pretty face as cold as frost.
“I won’t waste words with you; lead me to them, and I’ll let you go, or else…”
She snorted and raised the laser gun, aiming at one of them.
“…Since you’re at the business end of it, you should know its power, there’s no need for me to say more, right?”
The one who was being aimed at went weak at the knees but immediately stood up straight, probably thinking that Qi Yue’s laser gun was out of shots.
Qi Yue chuckled coldly, shifted the gun’s aim to the man who had tried to run earlier, and fired a shot.
“Thud…” The man fell to the ground on cue, instantly lifeless.
The other five instantly turned pale and all threw themselves to the ground.
“Miss Qi, spare us; we will take you to them right away!”
Soon, Qu Wei and Little Shanzi were found in a deep pit not far away.
When they were lifted out, both were unconscious.
Qi Yue gave each of them an injection, and they slowly came to.
Upon seeing her, Qu Wei immediately burst into tears and lunged at her.
“Yueyue, you finally came to rescue your brother! If you had been any later, you wouldn’t have seen me again!”
Seeing his filthy, bruised face and snot running down, Qi Yue quickly dodged to one side, Qu Wei lunged at empty air, tumbling to the ground, and still resentfully calling out.
“Yueyue, are you disgusted with your brother? Am I no longer your dear brother?”
Qi Yue snorted disdainfully.

“No.”
Little Shanzi was also excited to see her.
However, the child was well-behaved and stood obediently to one side. Seeing Qi Yue look over, he quickly expressed his gratitude.
Qi Yue took out a water flask from her bosom and tossed it to the two.
“Drink a bit; rest for a while, and then we’ll leave.”
After drinking some Spiritual Spring Water, both of them recovered their vitality.
Qu Wei, upon seeing the five subdued men, rushed at them and started throwing punches and kicks.
“I’ll teach you to ambush, ambush! I’ll beat you to death!”
The two were surrounded while hunting, unbeknownst to either of them.
Their adversary, wary of the laser gun in Qu Wei’s hand, did not immediately strike but lay ambushed in the brush, waiting for the opportunity.
Just as Qu Wei had caught a rabbit, he was tripped by the enemy’s rope and face-planted into the grass.
He hadn’t even gotten up when he was subdued and his laser gun taken.
Later, Qu Wei was even forced to disclose how to use the assault rifle.
Fearing for his life, he naturally explained everything thoroughly.
Upon hearing this, Qi Yue had nothing to say.
Preserving his life was understandable, but she now had some doubts about Qu Wei’s loyalty.
If he were captured again, would he leak secrets?
The five men Qu Wei had beaten were not light, all pleading for Qi Yue to spare their lives.
“Miss Qi, we are willing to wait on you and serve you, please spare us!”
“Please spare us, we were just following orders!”
“…..”
Eventually, Qi Yue let them go.
She needed people, but she couldn’t just take anyone.
Qu Wei was somewhat displeased, continuously complaining to her.
“Yueyue, in big brother’s opinion, we should have killed them all. Who knows if they’ll come back to capture us again.”
Qi Yue snorted.
“They were on their knees surrendering, how could I strike them? It’s been a while and your violent tendencies haven’t lessened at all!”
Seeing Qi Yue upset, Qu Wei quickly forced a smile.
“My mistake, I was just spouting nonsense. Why did you take it seriously, sister?”
The four of them chatted and walked toward the edge of the forest, soon coming upon a pond. Qi Yue told Little Shanzi and Qu Wei to wash their faces thoroughly.
Little Shanzi was easy, but Qu Wei was a sorry sight.
His white clothes had turned black, and his face was marred with cuts and mud, utterly a mess to look at.
While the two were cleaning up, Qi Yue pretended to go hunting and pulled out three rabbits from her space.
Huang Zai’an, the foodie, drooled at the sight of the rabbits and quickly called Little Shanzi to start processing them.
The four of them got to work and soon had the rabbits roasting.
The tender and delicious rabbit meat, seasoned with the barbecue spices Qi Yue brought out from her space, was simply a delicacy.
The four ate their fill and began discussing their next moves.
“Master, I plan to return to Longnan County Government. What are your plans?”
Huang Zai’an touched his greasy mouth.
“This old man will naturally follow my good disciple. Where else would I go with these old arms and legs?”
Qi Yue tugged at the corner of her mouth, suddenly reminded of something.
“Master, looking at the current situation, would you say that it’s a time of great chaos?”
How could Huang Zai’an not understand her intentions? He chuckled and stroked his beard as if playing the part.
“Well, it’s chaotic, but what you’re thinking of is not easy to get!”
Qi Yue’s heart leaped for joy at his words. “Does this mean the time is now?”
Huang Zai’an kept a serious façade, constantly stroking his beard.
“The time is almost upon us, but… my disciple, have you ever thought about what you would do if you really got those things?”
“What else could I do but claim them for myself?” Qi Yue deliberately spoke nonsense to see Huang Zai’an’s reaction.
Sure enough, upon hearing her words, Huang Zai’an sprang up excitedly.
“Claim them for yourself? How could that be acceptable? Haven’t I told you? This wealth is meant to be used to stabilize the world! If you were to claim it for yourself, what about the common people?”
The old man’s indignant appearance was quite comical, but Qi Yue continued to speak nonsense.
“What do I care about the common folk? If the treasure has no owner, then he who is capable should possess it. What’s wrong with me claiming it for myself?”
“You, you….” Huang Zai’an was so worked up he couldn’t speak.
Qu Wei, catching on by now, quickly interjected with questions.
“What are you talking about? Is it the National Treasure that’s been rumored about?”
