Hearing the mockery in Housekeeper Cao’s voice, Cao Wei looked at him and replied coldly, "Do you think that I have lived enough? Precisely because I haven’t, we should cooperate well."
Housekeeper Cao heard Cao Wei speak earnestly and fell silent!
After a while, he lifted his head and asked deeply, "How confident are you in succeeding?"
Knowing Housekeeper Cao’s interest was piqued, Cao Wei explained seriously, "To be honest, not very confident, but we do have a chance! If we miss this best opportunity, we might never turn our fortunes around in this lifetime."
Housekeeper Cao remained silent!
Seeing his silence, Cao Wei said nothing more.
He knew he had to let him make his own decision now.
...
"Is it really that hard to decide?"
Five minutes later, Cao Wei was getting a bit impatient.
In Cao Wei’s view, no matter how difficult the decision, five minutes should be enough.
"It seems we need to add some more fuel to the fire."
Thinking this, Cao Wei spoke again, "Housekeeper Cao, you should know that our ancestral home is full of dangers, so it’s very likely Cao Ying might not return. Thus, we might not face many obstacles."
"Makes sense!"
Housekeeper Cao squinted his eyes.
Soon, he gritted his teeth and said, "I’ll join, but we must bring more people and prepare more."
"Of course, we definitely have to, after all, I cherish my life very much."
After reaching a consensus, they leaned in closer...
Once closer, they began to discuss very seriously...
...
Hu Xiaobei, Cao Ying, and the two elders didn’t know what was happening over here; they were now deep in the forest.
The mist was dense here, and the trees covered the sky.
Ordinary people who came here would easily get lost.
However, neither Hu Xiaobei nor Cao Ying, nor the two older elders were ordinary people, so they could navigate easily here.
"Are you sure this is the right path?"
After walking a few hundred meters, Hu Xiaobei asked Cao Ying beside him casually.
"Of course, I’m sure!"
Cao Ying quickly responded while taking out a very old-looking map.
Seeing the cautious way he unfolded it, Hu Xiaobei knew the map was extremely valuable.
While thinking this, Hu Xiaobei watched him spread the old-looking map out in front of him.
Accompanying its opening, detailed introductions reached Hu Xiaobei’s ears.
"This is a route my people have painstakingly drawn out over time. Although this route is a bit longer, it’s relatively safe!"
"Relatively safe?"
"Yes, relatively safe! Whichever route we take to our ancestral home is dangerous, this is merely the relatively safest route."
"Got it!"
Hu Xiaobei nodded slightly...
At the same time, Hu Xiaobei discreetly memorized the entire route thoroughly.
Hu Xiaobei knew it might come in handy in the future, so remembering it had no downsides...
...
"Family Head, something doesn’t feel right!"
Five minutes later, the two elders clearing the path at the front spoke lowly.
"Not right? What do you mean?"
"It feels too quiet here!"
Hearing such an indifferent response, Cao Ying realized it was indeed so, he couldn’t hear any noise.
Normally, in such a forest, there should be insects or the like, but here seemed completely void of them...
