Chapter 693: Chapter 281: The Past of Meishan Village_2

She ran to the young man’s side and said coyly, "Brother Xiangyang, you’re studying that ruler again, huh?"

Li Xiangyang nodded at her words and said, "Yes, if it weren’t for this ruler, I might have died at the hands of Li Kuirong and his men. I need to find a way to uncover the secrets of this ruler."

"Rongrong, do you need something from me?"

"Nothing major, just that one-armed old man is at it again, clamoring to go out and find his wife. Honestly, I don’t get why we keep him around—just let him go already," Zhang Rongrong said irritably.

Li Xiangyang shook his head, "Uncle Youwei is a Speed Ability User, and we have too few Superpower Users here. He also has a deep grudge against Li Kuirong, making him our natural ally. Keeping him means we have more resistance against Yunquan Temple."

"But he keeps insisting on going out to find his wife, and he never listens. Last time he snuck out, he almost led Yunquan Temple’s people over to us, causing us to lose several people."

Li Xiangyang pondered for a moment and then asked, "How’s the situation with the Lantern Persimmon?"

At his words, Zhang Rongrong quickly replied, "I’ve had people watching it constantly. I feel it’s going to ripen in the next couple of days. Recently, there have been many Mutant Beasts around it, all eyeing that Mutated Fruit."

Li Xiangyang’s expression became more serious as he advised, "Yangshan has many fruits, but Mutated Fruits are still rare. This mutated Lantern Persimmon is crucial for us. Getting it could potentially awaken a superpower in one of our comrades."

"Since Uncle Youwei insists on going out, then let’s seize the day and go pluck that Lantern Persimmon today."

"Tell him that if he helps us get that Lantern Persimmon, we won’t stop him from going wherever he wants."

Hearing this, Zhang Rongrong’s eyes lit up, "Alright, I’ll go find him now."

Zhang Rongrong quickly left the room and went into the courtyard.
