?Chapter 125: Chapter 124: Mu Lin, the Suspense Builder (Fourth Update)_1 Chapter 125: Chapter 124: Mu Lin, the Suspense Builder (Fourth Update)_1 Upon hearing the question, Ling Qi simply curved his lips into a slow smile, “Aunt Cui, don’t you think these guys need a good deal of refining to lose the Master’s habits ingrained in them?” Otherwise, even more difficult circumstances encountered in future missions would prove deadly.

Actually, any situation could arise during a mission. He was simply allowing them to get used to this possibility in advance.

Naturally, another reason was that he intended to use this opportunity to assess their ability to react and adapt.

He nodded thoughtfully, agreeing with the sentiments.

All these preparations were indeed their lifelines in the future.

…

Within the forest.

After a long walk without sighting any small animals, to the point where even a single rabbit fur wasn’t found, Yang Yuebin began to seriously doubt if this forest truly housed any ‘precious’ species like animals. He turned to look at Mu Lin.

“Mu Lin, do you really think we can find something to eat here?” Yang Yuebin asked Mu Lin, as he was seriously skeptical. Seeing Mu Lin had already run to the side of a tree and was seemingly searching for something, Yang Yuebin walked over and asked, “What have you found?”

“Grass?” Seeing what Mu Lin had in her hand, Yang Yuebin was frustrated. Weren’t they here to find food? Could what she had be eaten as food?

“What grass.” Mu Lin shot him a glance, “For us practitioners of Chinese Medicine, grass is medicine. Different herbs have different effects and healing properties. I think you should also learn to recognize them.”

“We are not doctors, why should we recognize these?” Herbs couldn’t be used as food. Besides, “Don’t we have you?” With Mu Lin present, couldn’t she recognize all kinds of plants and herbs at a glance?

“What if I’m not around?” Mu Lin raised her brows and countered.

“Then…” Yang Yuebin suddenly didn’t know how to respond. His mind had never wandered into such a realm. He quickly changed the topic, “Didn’t we come here to find food?”

Hearing his words, Mu Lin merely gave him a light glance, “Don’t we have you?” What could she do about it?

Mu Lin was outright unconcerned about the whole situation, leisurely collecting the herbs she needed along the way.

She hadn’t expected to find the herbs she wanted in such a place. Perhaps, she really should thank Ling Qi. If it hadn’t been for him bringing them here and making them fend for themselves for breakfast, they possibly wouldn’t have ventured this deep into the forest.

Of course, she might wander in here on her own if she were bored.

But then again, anything was possible.

…

Hearing Mu Lin’s words, Yang Yuebin felt utterly aggrieved, appearing genuinely heartbroken over her nonchalance. Anyone who saw him would think that Mu Lin had committed some unspeakable atrocity against him.

Zhou Yujun, unable to say a word, threw a bland look at someone who was visibly enjoying the play. Then he turned to Mu Lin, “Mu Lin, are there really any food resources here?” They hadn’t spotted even a bird since their arrival.

“Yes.” Mu Lin nodded, “And, we’ve already entered its territory.”

“What is it?” Jing Youlan asked.

“It is…” Mu Lin didn’t hesitate to tease, “You’ll find out in due time. However, I can tell you that once you catch it, we can turn back for home.” Of course, it wasn’t that easy to catch.
