Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1221: Chapter 1201: Divided Team

Luo Qianqian opened her eyes and met Yan’s gaze, noticing some strange glances in his eyes. She raised her eyebrow slightly and threw a puzzled look.

Then she realized that Yan was gesturing towards the side with his lips, and upon turning, she was surprised to find Huangfu Yihui also wearing a strange expression.

”I need to clean the village, huh.” Huangfu Yihui’s subordinate was instantly speechless. Such a large village, yet it was deserted and already abandoned. How long would it take to clean it?

The Star Path mission can only be completed if all tasks are completed, and the exit of the Star Path is right above the Heavenly Ladder.

”Me too...”

”Me too.”

Suddenly, a bunch of people stood up, while Luo Qianqian noticed that Tang Tianyi was already gone, and even Nine Serenities was missing, leaving her puzzled.

Do they also have individual tasks?

It seems reasonable, how could her boyfriend have ordinary talent?

”I need to find the Earth Heart Fire Lotus.” Watching as the others slowly departed, Yan didn’t hide his task from Luo Qianqian and Huangfu Yihui.

”Mine is the Phoenix Wood.” Huangfu Yihui didn’t hide it either but frowned slightly as he knew about this thing, though not sure if it would be found here.

After all, Southern Li is not short of Phoenix Wood at all.

Hearing this, Yan looked at Luo Qianqian and directly asked, ”You are looking for Ice Heart Glazed Grass, right?”

Luo Qianqian looked at Yan in surprise and nodded, ”That’s correct.”

”Earth Heart Fire Lotus, Phoenix Wood, Ice Heart Glazed Grass, plus the materials I have, these are the ingredients for the Qianyuan Pill, which is beyond my current capabilities.” Yan pressed his heart that was pounding hard, ”I have a premonition that one of my tasks is to refine the Qianyuan Pill.”

Qianyuan Pill? Luo Qianqian’s heart also jumped violently.

Equating the Qianyuan Pill in her limited knowledge is linked to the Twenty-nine Heavenly Jie...

Twenty-nine Heavenly Jie? She didn’t feel that way at all, could it be that someone’s task here is to survive the Twenty-nine Heavenly Jie?

Her heart jumped violently, feeling that nine tasks were somewhat overwhelming for her.

”This is not the environment for these three things to grow!” Luo Qianqian suddenly reacted, looking shocked. Would they make it so difficult for them? Isn’t the first task supposed to be simpler?

But these things couldn’t possibly grow in the forest where the Star Path is located.

Huangfu Yihui, however, frowned, ”If that’s the case, does it mean that these things should be somewhere here, or... perhaps someone here has them?”

”Can’t be?” Luo Qianqian was full of surprise. Looking around, apart from the road ahead, there was only the desolate village surrounding them.

And people... why would someone easily give you things?

Especially in such a competitive environment?

Moreover, if someone has these, how would the Star Path know?

Yan also remained silent for a while, his gaze sweeping over the houses ahead, pondering for a moment, ”I agree there’s a possibility these things might be found here.”

”If Nine Serenities was here, we could just ask directly.” Luo Qianqian sighed deeply but then frowned again, wondering what Tang Tianyi’s task was.

And why did he disappear with Nine Serenities?

But looking at the tasks ahead, it’s obviously different from those of others.

Luo Qianqian’s eyes widened suddenly, ”Wait, Yan, do you only lack those three materials?”

”Yes...” Yan nodded, and after a moment, his face also became gloomy. They all happened to lack these three materials, does it imply that the Star Path knows what they are carrying?

Luo Qianqian sighed, ”This is simply a huge project! How can this be easily done?”

Though the village ahead wasn’t large, it had at least a hundred households, and searching house by house was not easily achievable. Moreover, many people should have entered the Star Path.

”Not quite right.” Huangfu Yihui frowned tightly, ”Because you and I have... so we’ve overlooked some things.”

”What?” Luo Qianqian immediately turned to Huangfu Yihui, her face full of curiosity.

”Do you think Spatial Storage Devices are something everyone can have?” Huangfu Yihui squinted slightly, ”So the person we are looking for should be within a limited range.”

Yan showed a few hints of frustration on his face and slapped his knee, ”Right.”

Luo Qianqian blinked, ”Does this also imply that we might be carrying something others need?”

Yan looked surprised but nodded.

In terms of Spiritual Herbs and Medicines, no one’s hand contains more than his.

A flicker of seriousness crossed Huangfu Yihui’s face. The valuable things he carried were indeed not few.

”I certainly don’t have anything.” Luo Qianqian shrugged lightly, looking indifferent.

Most of the things she had were peculiar, still unknown to this world.

”Hello, do you know what distilled water is?” At this moment, a group of people appeared in front of them, led by a scruffy-bearded uncle, who appeared quite elderly.

They all invariably chose to cover their foreheads with things. Now that the village no longer existed, the status-based reception naturally ceased to exist.

The way to protect oneself from being envied by others was to cover up their Talent Talisman Seal.

Luo Qianqian nodded, was about to speak but was halted by Yan, ”Do you know where Ice Heart Glazed Grass, Earth Heart Fire Lotus, and Phoenix Wood are?”

”I have Phoenix Wood.” Immediately, a girl who had just spoken raised her hand.

The uncle leading them nodded, ”Give it to them.”

The girl carefully took out the Phoenix Wood carved with a Phoenix design and placed it in the uncle’s hand, ”You need to exchange it with distilled water.”

Luo Qianqian naturally took out a bottle of distilled water and tossed it to the girl.

Conveniently, she had previously bottled various kinds while buying water.

When the distilled water fell into the girl’s hand, she was slightly stunned before a dim light flashed across her forehead.

”I’ve completed it!” The girl excitedly pulled the uncle’s arm.

The uncle looked at the girl with a face full of affection, casually tossing the Phoenix Wood towards the three of them.

Luo Qianqian reached out to catch it but didn’t hand it over to Huangfu Yihui. Instead, she thanked the group before turning to leave.

The two others quickly followed her, and only after walking a considerable distance did Luo Qianqian breathe a sigh of relief, handing the object to Huangfu Yihui.

”Those two shouldn’t be part of their group.” Yan observed the flash across Huangfu Yihui’s forehead, breathed a sigh of relief, and calmly said to Luo Qianqian.

”Possessing treasures is a crime; vigilance against others can’t be ignored.” Luo Qianqian shook her head lightly.

Exposing that one of them owned a Spatial Storage Device was sufficient. Luo Qianqian’s presumptive leadership made others assume the remaining two were protectors for her.
