They were really curious at this moment, because in their view, someone of his prowess shouldn’t need to come to such a barbaric land for a task.
Upon hearing their puzzled questioning, Su Hai felt a bit displeased...
Because he believed these people did not have the right to question him like this...
Of course, despite his displeasure, Su Hai didn’t entirely show it.
Because he was a person with deep cunning...
After some thought, Su Hai spoke nonchalantly, "The reason I’m here is for nostalgia; I used to frequently come here for missions."
By the end of his words, a hint of nostalgia flashed in Su Hai’s eyes...
They didn’t believe this explanation!
But they didn’t delve deeper, as long as Su Hai wasn’t here for them, it was fine.
Su Hai didn’t know their thoughts; he just looked at them candidly...
Honestly, Su Hai was lying to them at this moment.
The real reason he came here wasn’t for nostalgia, but for treasure...
Previously, Su Hai had completed numerous missions here and once, he picked up a fragmented map during a task.
Although the map was severely fragmented, he could tell it was undoubtedly a treasure map.
Once he realized this, he was very excited.
All these years, he had been researching the treasure map but had never found the treasure’s location.
Because the fragmented map was indeed too severely destroyed.
Nonetheless, even without finding it, Su Hai hadn’t given up.
Now, any chance he got, he would come to search for it.
Today was the same, but Su Hai didn’t expect to meet these people here.
"What? Still can’t tell me?"
After staring deeply at them for a while, Su Hai spoke again.
"Nothing, of course, we can tell you!"
With a deep breath, they detailed the events that had occurred before...
Upon hearing it, Su Hai’s eyes eyes suddenly lit up.
Soon, he said with some urgency, "You mean there’s really Spirit Stones in that place called The Valley of the Wicked?"
Although they didn’t know why Su Hai was so excited, they nodded their heads...
"Yes! They dug out an entire box of Spirit Stones from underground."
Upon confirming the answer, Su Hai narrowed his eyes, "This is big news. Besides you all, does anyone else know this news?"
"No, just us over here."
"Hmm, then let’s hurry back to the family and tell more people this news; I feel it’s very important."
Hearing such solemn words, they twitched at the eye corners...
Soon, nervously they said, "Brother Su, we... we failed the mission before, now if we go back, we... we..."
Sensing their hesitation and dilemma, a hint of mockery flashed in Su Hai’s eyes...
But soon, Su Hai quickly restrained that sliver of mockery.
At that moment, Su Hai spoke with a full smile, "Earlier you explained very clearly; though indeed the mission failed, it actually wasn’t particularly your fault, so I’ll speak on your behalf! Rest assured!"
"Is... is this true?"
Sensing their excitement, Su Hai nodded gently, "Yes, it was all Su Ye’s problem; it’s fortunate he’s dead now, otherwise he’d also face punishment."
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Hearing Su Hai putting all blame on Su Ye, they laughed excitedly.
They knew, with Su Hai’s help, this time they might really escape punishment.
"Fortune follows hardship, truly fortune follows hardship!"
