Rebirth of the Innkeeper's Wife: She's Not to Be Messed With

Chapter 150 Mysterious Mountain Tales

Although they didn't spend much time together, the thrilling journey of fighting against the evil god statue together formed an incredibly strong bond.

This bonded them closely together, forging a deep and sincere friendship between them.

Before leaving, Huan Yuechu smiled, her eyes revealing sincerity and gratitude, and slowly spoke to Su Yin.

"I really have to thank you this time. Without your help, we probably wouldn't have had such a smooth journey. If we are fortunate enough to meet again in the future, I will definitely treat you to a good meal."

Upon hearing these words, Su Yin's face also blossomed into a radiant smile.

He nodded slightly in response, and said that he was also looking forward to the next time they met.

After exchanging heartfelt farewells, Huan Yuechu and her group turned around and, with firm and powerful steps, resolutely continued on their long journey.

However, not long after they left the deep forest, a commotion suddenly arose not far ahead.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a man who was completely drunk, staggering along the road and muttering strange and unusual words.

Upon closer listening, one could glean information about a mysterious mountain from his indistinct words—a place where all sorts of strange and unpredictable things were said to happen.

Huan Yuechu and the others exchanged glances, their curiosity piqued.

They had no clue where Xiao Bao's father was, and the mysterious mountain mentioned by the drunkard was full of unknowns, as if it had an invisible attraction.

Huan Yue stepped forward, trying to wake the man up and ask him more questions.

The man just grinned foolishly and mumbled a few more words about strange lights flashing on the mountain, as if a treasure had appeared, before collapsing to the ground and falling fast asleep.

Upon hearing this, Huan Yuechu's heart stirred, and she thought to herself: This mysterious mountain is so strange, it must hide many unknown secrets and mysteries. Perhaps we can find clues about Xiao Bao's father.

Thinking of this, she frowned and pondered her next move.

After a moment, she decisively turned her head, glanced around at the people around her, and then spoke in a calm and firm tone.

"What do you all think of what that drunkard just said? Feel free to share your thoughts."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Mu Yang stepped forward, crossed his arms, and said nonchalantly.

"Hmph, how can we believe the nonsense spewed from a drunkard? Maybe he's just making things up to amuse us! How can we take the words of such a person seriously?"

However, at this moment, Xu Yan, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

He frowned slightly, as if he was thinking carefully about something. After a while, he slowly raised his head and looked at everyone seriously.

"I don't think this matter is entirely false. As the saying goes, there's no smoke without fire. If there were no basis for it at all, how could such news have spread? So I think there must be some truth to it, but we need to investigate and verify the exact amount."

After hearing the two completely different viewpoints, the room fell silent.

Everyone wore a thoughtful expression, clearly indicating that they each had different opinions on this issue.

At that moment, everyone's eyes turned to Wen Xingyu and that senior, hoping to hear their opinions.

Seeing this, Wen Xingyu hurriedly raised her hand and said loudly, "Oh, me... I will naturally follow Sister Yuechu's arrangements! I will do whatever Sister Yuechu says!" After saying that, she winked at Huan Yuechu playfully.

Immediately afterwards, everyone's attention turned to the senior.

The senior first lowered his head and pondered for a while, then slowly raised his head, looked around, and calmly spoke.

"In my opinion, as the saying goes, 'flies don't land on eggs without cracks.' Although we cannot be sure whether what the drunkard said is true or false, we probably have to go and find out for ourselves in order to find out the truth. Only by seeing and hearing it with our own eyes and ears can we truly understand the whole picture."

At this point, the senior paused briefly before adding more.

"Of course, since it concerns Xiaobao, we should respect the child's opinion appropriately. After all, children's thoughts are sometimes very simple and direct."

As a result, everyone's attention once again focused on the adorable Xiao Bao.

The little one blinked his big, watery eyes and said in a childish voice, "As long as you can help me find my dad, I'm willing to go anywhere!"

Seeing that everyone held their own opinions and could not reach a consensus, Huan Yuechu couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache.

Her beautiful face was filled with helplessness. After letting out a long and heavy sigh, she slowly spoke.

"Now that things have come to this point, since everyone here still cannot reach a consensus on this matter, we have no other choice but to make the final decision according to the established principle of majority rule."

She paused slightly after speaking, then her tone suddenly took a 180-degree turn.

"However, if any brother or sister holds a different opinion during this period and stands up to openly express their opposition, it probably won't have any substantial effect."

Just then, the people sitting together suddenly realized what was going on, and they all tried their best to suppress their laughter and not burst out laughing on the spot.

"Haha, objection overruled! You're so kind, Master Mu!" A clear and melodious laugh rang out from the crowd. It was Wen Xingyu teasing Mu Yang with a mischievous grin.

Mu Yang, who was being ridiculed in public, deliberately pretended to be very annoyed and sighed deeply.

"Oh well, what can I do? We're outnumbered and outmatched."

Upon hearing this, everyone present could no longer contain their joy and burst into laughter.

In an instant, the somewhat somber atmosphere was filled with cheerful and joyful laughter.

However, not long after the laughter and joy began, Huan Yuechu suddenly stopped smiling, and her relaxed and carefree expression instantly turned serious.

She first looked around at everyone present, then fixed her gaze on Mu Yang and the senior sitting next to him, and then asked without hesitation.

"Now that we've decided to go, there's one more question: we have no idea where the Mysterious Mountain is located. Do either of you know?" she asked, her beautiful eyes gazing expectantly at the people before her.
