Rebirth: Living in Wilderness with My Superpower-Chapter 1003: Bandits Arrive

Although Li Wenli really couldn’t stand Yuwen Jun, he was always able to separate public and private matters. When it came to the bigger picture, he wouldn’t resort to personal vendettas.

Bai Junjun hadn’t considered this aspect before. She raised her thumb in admiration and said, "You truly are shrewd and farsighted."

"..." Li Wenli.

Ever since the Fifth Prince was labeled with the term "shrewd and farsighted" by Bai Junjun, the Fox had felt that this term, coming from her, might no longer be a compliment. At this moment, it felt like she was scolding him instead.

Bai Junjun blinked innocently. "Should I call you brilliant instead?"

The Fox helplessly pulled her into his arms, chuckling. "Praise me... tell me I’m an amazing brother."

"..." Bai Junjun was speechless.

Why did it feel like everything this Fox said had an inexplicable undertone?

Li Wenli felt thoroughly wronged. After all, he was just a naïve, pure-hearted man deeply in love and hoping to be rewarded.

Little Fox expressed its grievance.

"You praise that guy without hesitation, but when it’s my turn, you’re so half-hearted."

"???" Bai Junjun was puzzled. Who had she praised?

Li Wenli didn’t answer further. Instead, he lowered his head and gave the clueless Bai Junjun a fierce kiss.

After a good while, Li Wenli seemed to remember something and suddenly spoke, "By the way, Yuwen Qi mentioned something to me."

"What was it?" Bai Junjun, who had been left dizzy and disoriented by the Fox’s teasing, couldn’t keep up with his abrupt switch to serious business. She was completely confounded by his rhythm.

Li Wenli said, "His scout spotted a suspicious group of people outside the city. They were disguised as merchants and queued up to enter the city. He suspects they’re from the Western Region."

"Did the guards at the city gates catch on?"

"Not sure. But by now, the guards have already let them in, and they’re currently staying at Dongsheng Tavern."

Dongsheng Tavern was part of Shopkeeper Yan’s chain, which was established in nearly every major city. Compared to the Imperial Capital’s vast reach, the taverns here in the Eastern Land were still firmly controlled by Shopkeeper Yan himself.

And since Shopkeeper Yan was Yuwen Qi’s sibling, their information naturally flowed freely between them.

With Shopkeeper Yan acting as a visible figure, the intelligence Yuwen Qi gathered wasn’t a bit inferior to Yuwen Jun’s Thousand Miles network.

That’s why Yuwen Qi quickly learned that a group of Western Region individuals had arrived in Biluo City. Whether Yuwen Jun’s subordinates were aware of this, however, was unknown. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

After all, Yuwen Jun had already marched out this morning, leaving the city without a commanding officer.

"What are these people here for?" Bai Junjun, having regained her composure, started pondering the issue seriously.

Li Wenli, lazily fiddling with Bai Junjun’s hair, replied, "The Western Region’s people likely came searching for Yuwen Luanfei. After all, she’s gone missing, and Yuwen Song wouldn’t trust Yuwen Jun to find her. He’d definitely send his own people to investigate."

Bai Junjun’s eyes lit up as she nodded. "Makes sense!"

"Speaking of which, I’ve thought of a foolproof plan for getting ourselves out of this mess. Want to hear it, my lady?" Half reclining on the bed, Li Wenli raised his eyebrows and cast Bai Junjun a playful look.

Bai Junjun helplessly gave him a small kick. "Hurry up and spill."

Li Wenli pulled her into his arms and whispered softly into her ear.

...

Back to the suspicious individuals from the Western Region—these people were indeed minions of the Bandit Leader from the Ownerless Land.

They carried great responsibility and a mission: to find Yuwen Luanfei and deliver her to Yuwen Song in hopes of earning merit.

Although they had set out earlier than Li Wenli, they lacked his Special Ability. Depending entirely on their own legs, they trudged on and on. Just as Li Wenli was nearly heading back home, these people finally reached their destination.
