Fang Yue had many questions to ask, but the matter regarding Sir Lan seemed to be the biggest secret of Manshui Village. It was unlikely that anyone would tell him easily.

Also… Sir Lan's last words, why did he know that I was Sir Han's man, and still asked me to pass on that message…

Could it be that Sir Han left some mark on me?

For a moment, Fang Yue's thoughts were in turmoil. Just then, Lan Yuntian suddenly patted him on the shoulder and said in a deep voice filled with mature masculinity.

"Well done, kid. I admire you!"

"Um… It's all what I should do."

"Yes, able to remain composed in the face of my praise, very good, a promising talent!"

Bro… can you speak in a normal voice? It feels kind of disgusting.

Just as Fang Yue was thinking this, he saw Lan Yuntian smooth back his hair, as if using hair gel, revealing a refreshing face. He smiled faintly and said, "I heard you're a refugee, and you've only been the vice-captain of Guyue Village for a few days. How about it? Are you interested in coming to Manshui Village as a vice-captain and working under me? I can give you the position of second-in-command of the Blue Water Squad. With the financial resources of our Manshui Village, Guyue Village can't compare. The benefits will naturally be better too."

Huh?

This, is this poaching?

While Fang Yue was stunned, the members of the escort team all became nervous.

"Shut up! Vice-Captain Ye is from our Guyue Village! Manshui Village, don't go too far!"

"That's right! You're even poaching from Guyue Village? Do you have any conscience?"

They spoke up one after another, but Lan Yuntian silenced them with a glare.

"This little brother hasn't even been in your Guyue Village for a week. How can he be considered one of you? Besides, I'm asking for his opinion. What's it to you? Also, you better behave. We haven't settled the matter of you attracting the strange entity and almost causing trouble for our village!"

As soon as these words came out, the escort team immediately avoided eye contact guiltily.

Seeing this, Lan Yuntian turned to Fang Yue and asked, "How about it? Little brother, have you considered it carefully? The position of vice-captain is too much of an insult to a talent like you."

Fang Yue gave a dry laugh. "Actually, it's not bad… Besides, in Guyue Village, I'm actually considered the captain. It's just that the paperwork is still being processed and reported."

"Cap, captain?"

Lan Yuntian was clearly a little surprised.

The position of captain of a village almost represents the highest authority in the village, and it can't be given casually.

He felt that giving Fang Yue the position of vice-captain was already overvaluing him.

But Guyue Village actually gave the position of captain to someone else.

Is this guy… worth Guyue Village investing so much in?

Lan Yuntian looked left and right, but he didn't see anything special about Fang Yue.

In terms of strength, he's about equal to me. I can often withstand one or two moves from a black-level intermediate strange entity.

As for killing a seriously injured strange entity and finishing it off, I can do that just as cleanly.

Lan Yuntian felt pretty good about himself. After pondering for a while, he smiled.

"Since Guyue Village is offering the position of captain, then I shouldn't try to snatch him away. Otherwise, it would be troublesome for the superiors to send someone down to investigate."

"Mm-hmm."

Fang Yue naturally had no objections. He didn't know much about Manshui Village anyway. Since they were both joining the guard team, the captain position in Guyue Village was naturally more attractive.

He briefly told Lan Yuntian about the situation with the escort team.

Lan Yuntian couldn't help but ask, "Your purpose is to escort Divine Doctor An back to Mo Village? And then Divine Doctor An… died on the village road?"

"Yes."

Fang Yue's mood was a little heavy. Without Divine Doctor An's last crystal, he would have been killed by the Heavy Pressure Strange.

"Alas, life is impermanent. I didn't expect that Divine Doctor An's final fate would be like this. What do you plan to do now? Are you going to retrieve Divine Doctor An's remains and bring them back to Mo Village?"

"…Divine Doctor An's remains have probably been absorbed by the Heavy Pressure Strange, so there's no need to look for them. As for our escort team, we should still go to Mo Village. If your Manshui Village sells the kind of stone material that can repair the earth core, some of the stonemasons in our team can stay. I'll bring them back to Guyue Village with me when I return from Mo Village."

Earth core stone?

Lan Yuntian looked troubled and shook his head. "That won't do. We don't have much earth core stone either."

"It's okay, don't force it. Then let us rest in Manshui Village for one night, and we'll leave tomorrow morning."

Lan Yuntian had no objections to this.

Although the strange entity was attracted by Fang Yue and the others, Manshui Village and Guyue Village had a long-standing ancient agreement to help each other, so it didn't matter.

If people from their Manshui Village encountered a strange entity and escaped to Guyue Village, Guyue Village would have to help as well. It was the same principle.

He had previously scolded the escort team loudly because he didn't want them to influence Fang Yue's choice. Who knew that Fang Yue was already in the position of captain, and poaching was useless.

As the two were talking, the Blood Hunter quickly came to Fang Yue and hugged him tightly.

"Vice-Captain Ye, I owe you a life."

Fang Yue pushed him away. "No, there's no need to be so polite."

Don't hug me, old man!!

The Blood Hunter didn't mind.

"Saving a life is saving a life. In the future, Vice-Captain Ye can ask me for help if you need it. I won't refuse!"

Fang Yue looked at his serious expression and had no choice but to respond twice. Just then, the [Giant-Headed Bloodhound] beside the Blood Hunter suddenly changed its dog-like expression, bared its teeth warily, and barked loudly.

Fang Yue and the Blood Hunter were stunned and quickly looked around.

Under the light of the torches, in the distance on the village road, at the end of their vision, thick fog was actually drifting over!

With just one glance, Fang Yue and the Blood Hunter's expressions changed drastically.

"That's Divine Doctor An's scattered strange fragrance! He's still alive!"

Fang Yue suddenly snatched a big blue horse and a human soul torch from a member of the Manshui Village guard team and rode away.

The movements were done in one go, galloping away, leaving four words behind.

"Borrowing the horse!"

So handsome, so dashing!

No wonder he's the man I have my eyes on!

Lan Yuntian nodded with an admiring expression, watching Fang Yue ride away on horseback.

But soon, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Wait! Isn't that my horse?!"

At this time, the team member hurriedly came over and said, "Captain Lan, your horse is gone, your horse is gone!!"

Lan Yuntian's face darkened. He didn't speak, pretending to be an expert.

"Captain Lan, your horse was snatched away by that guy from Guyue Village!"

The team member thought that Lan Yuntian was deaf and said it again in a loud voice, making Lan Yuntian's face even darker.

He cleared his throat and looked up at the night sky at a forty-five-degree angle.

"This man is worthy of my horse!"

Ah, this…

The team member was a little dazed and didn't speak.

The other members of the Manshui Village guard team exclaimed.

"Heroes cherish heroes, using a horse to convey affection, Captain Lan has such a high level of artistic conception!"

"Brotherly love, friendship, this is a symbol of the friendly relationship between our Manshui Village and Guyue Village!"

"Captain Lan! Captain Lan! Captain Lan!"

Listening to the team members' words, the corners of Lan Yuntian's mouth involuntarily curved upward.

But the next moment, he was directly broken.

"No way, no way! There's no one who would be stolen a horse and not dare to say anything, right?"

"[He is worthy of my horse], boo hoo hoo! Is this the highest level of self-deception? I'm touched, how about you guys?"

"Ah, his eyes are so scary. Everyone, look, the captain of the Manshui Village guard team is going to attack us innocent and pitiful little villagers!"
