Jing knew that under no circumstances should she admit to taking the wrong path now, or it would be truly embarrassing.

Upon hearing Jing’s confident explanation, they exchanged glances and teased softly.

"Won’t we get lost? We feel like we can’t find the right path now!"

"Yeah, yeah! We’ve never taken this road before!"

Hearing their doubts, Jing stomped her little white foot and said, "No way, I clearly remember this place. Just follow me, and I remember there’s a big rock at the corner up ahead. Once we find that rock, you’ll know this path is definitely correct!" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"Really?"

"Of course, it’s true! Now, let’s just keep walking and see if we can find that rock."

No hesitation, no turning back!

Since she was pretending to know, she had to keep it up.

That’s what Jing thought, so now, she was firmly guaranteeing it like this.

"Alright, let’s see then!"

They exchanged a glance and spoke softly.

They weren’t sure if they were on the wrong path, so they decided to follow and see.

If they could find that rock, it would mean they were on the right path. If they couldn’t, it would prove Jing was wrong.

At that point, they would come up with another solution...

Seeing they agreed to her proposal, Jing let out a long sigh of relief.

"I hope there really is a rock ahead; otherwise, I won’t be able to save face!"

Having said that, she quickly stepped forward...

Seeing this, the others smiled slightly and quickly followed.

Honestly, they all knew Jing had a poor sense of direction...

But they still chose to follow her because they all trusted Jing.

...

"Cao Meng and the others really know how to pick a place!"

"Yeah, a godforsaken place! How can one thrive in a place like this!"

Not far away, three people were swiftly approaching...

If Cao Meng were here, he would definitely think they looked a bit like him, because they were also once members of the powerful Cao Family.

Once upon a time, the Cao Family was at its peak!

So powerful it was terrifying.

In the end, it fell apart...

A dead camel is still bigger than a horse!

Even after its collapse, it remained formidable.

As such, it split into many powerful families, but they didn’t stay together due to various grudges, and they no longer kept in touch.

"Alright, instead of complaining, let’s move faster so we can finish the job and leave this godforsaken place sooner!"

Hearing such complaints, the person at the front frowned deeply and spoke coldly.

Faced with such a cold reprimand, they quickly shrank their necks.

They knew this person was much stronger than them, so they really didn’t dare to offend him.

"Cao Ya, we’re just saying!"

"Yeah, if you don’t want to hear it, we won’t say it!"

Hearing their nervous explanation, Cao Ya glanced at them and said coldly, "Then just shut your mouths!"

"Yes!"

They nodded quickly and awkwardly...

...

"Jing, what do you have to say now!"

"Yeah, where’s that big rock you were so sure about!"

"Yeah, yeah!"

They looked at Jing, whose expression wasn’t great, and teased her kindly.

They had reached the place Jing mentioned, but there was no big rock in sight.

They knew that obviously Jing had remembered the path wrong.

Hearing their soft teasing, Jing felt like finding a hole to hide in.

"Such bad luck!"

Muttering to herself, Jing was about to say something, but before she could, she heard footsteps.

"Someone’s coming!"

Jing realized it, and so did the others, so everyone looked forward.

Initially, they thought it was Xiaobei and Lin Ya, but soon, they were disappointed.

Because it wasn’t them...

It was three people they didn’t know at all...

Indeed!

It was Cao Ya and his two subordinates appearing now.

...

"Boss, they’re really stunning!"

"Yeah, totally!"

When Jing and the others looked at them, they saw Jing and the others.

As soon as they saw them clearly, those two excitedly spoke up.

"They really are stunning!"

Hearing their words, Cao Ya eagerly nodded!

He noticed that Jing in the front and the others behind her were all particularly good-looking.

"If I could have them, that would be wonderful!"

Thinking this, he straightened his clothes and asked with a deep voice, "How do I look now?"

Hearing the slightly urgent inquiry, they knew what Cao Ya was thinking. After carefully looking at Cao Ya, they quickly replied, "Boss, you look fantastic now!"

"Yes, as long as you speak, you can definitely win their favor."

"Thanks for the good words!"

Responding with a smile, Cao Ya spoke up with a grin, "Hello everyone, my name is Cao Ya. May I know your names?"

Jing guessed his intentions as soon as he excitedly spoke...

Shooting him a glance, Jing stated her name and then softly asked, "Are you from the Cao Family?"

Glancing at Jing, Cao Ya responded proudly, "Yes, I’m from the Cao Family! But not the trashy one nearby, rather a greater Cao Family. I’m here to discuss some matters with the trashy Cao Family nearby."

After hearing Cao Ya’s explanation, a sparkle of interest flashed in Jing’s eyes, "So, you’re going to the Cao Family later, right?"

"Yes!"

Receiving a positive answer, Jing softly asked, "Can you take us with you?"

"No problem, but why do you want to go there?"

"We have some matters!"

"I see!"

Cao Ya nodded slightly...

He could tell Jing was cautious of him.

He wasn’t angry; he thought it was quite normal for her to be cautious...

To him, it didn’t matter!

Soon, Jing would recognize his power, then she’d no longer be cautious but rather admire him.

"Once she gets to know me better, everything will fall into place!"

Having set his plan, a faint excited smile appeared on his lips...

"It seems this guy has nastier thoughts in mind!"

Seeing his excited look, Jing frowned, giving him an annoyed glance, and said directly, "Can we get going now?"
