Chapter 706: Chapter 710: Before Departure
Qiu Mo glanced from one to the other, a conflicted expression on her face as she asked, "If they’re all out to get us, why are we still cooperating with them?"
Su Tang knocked lightly on Qiu Mo’s head, "Silly Momo, on the surface, we’re cooperating with the kingdom’s leadership because we’re using the two Crystal Stones they have to enter the Wood Immortal Mansion. Behind the scenes, we’re working with Maya. On one hand, it can lessen her wariness towards us. On the other, we can effortlessly destroy the kingdom. As long as we’re cautious and on guard against Maya and the white bird."
After finishing her explanation, Su Tang winked at Gaiyin. Her eyes were sparkling, full of tiny stars and dazzling colors.
"Gaiyin, am I right?"
Gaiyin faintly smiled, gently ruffled Su Tang’s hair with his large hand, and nodded, "Mm."
Yadang added from the side, "You’re right, but we can’t rush. We should wait a few days before going to meet her. It will be more convincing."
Xi Ye agreed, "You’re right."
Qiu Mo and Xi’en stared dumbfoundedly at the group. They’d never had a chance to experience such cunning strategizing before, and they were struggling to wrap their heads around it all of a sudden.
Su Tang lowered her head and rummaged through her Beast Skin Bag, from which she retrieved a handful of Detoxification Pills.
"By the way, have you guys finished the pills I gave you before?"
Qiu Mo took out two from her Beast Skin Bag, "I still have two."
Yadang and Gaiyin had none left, while Xi Ye had one.
So, Su Tang divided up the pills she had in her hand, ensuring everyone had at least three.
She explained, "Powdered medicine doesn’t work as well, and if we make it ourselves, the preparation process might draw suspicion. These pills can also ease physical discomfort. Just take one when you’re not feeling well."
Xi’en also received three.
He clenched the pills in his hand, gave Su Tang a shallow smile, and said, "Thank you."
Su Tang waved her hand nonchalantly, "No need, actually we’ve put you in an awkward position. You heard what Maya said, besides requiring the Crystal Stones, we also need fresh blood. So we need to ask you to accompany us to the Wood Immortal Mansion."
Xi’en smiled softly as if basking in spring sunlight, warming the heart, "Not a problem at all."
Su Tang reciprocated his friendly smile.
Gaiyin, sitting nearby, instantly became restless and quickly positioned himself between them, blocking their line of sight. 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝙢
X’en seemed to take the hint, shaking his head with a resigned smile and sighing.

In the following days, they continued to eat the meals Liao Li sent them.
During this time, Liao Li once again summoned them to fix the departure time.
So, two days before departure, Gaiyin and Su Tang visited Maya’s house again.
Under Maya’s gratified smile, they established a cooperative relationship.
Gaiyin also learned from Maya a method to vaguely gauge other’s Superpower Levels. Before leaving, he took a large, quite weighty bag of antidotes.
The day before the expedition, they received news. In addition to those they had seen in the inner hall before, Liao Li had summoned a team of 50 Divine Brave Warriors to enter the Wood Immortal Mansion.
All the Beastmen in the team were under 20 seasons old. Gaiyin sensed their Superpower Levels and found most of them were Level 3-4.
Which means, among all the Beastmen who were going to enter the Wood Immortal Mansion, only Gaiyin had the highest Level.
