At this moment, the old man finally started explaining to the two burly men: "I met them on the road. They treated me to a meal and bought me a lot of things, saying they were heading to the Hidden Cloud Village."
"What are they doing in Hidden Cloud Village?"
One of the burly men immediately showed hostility, glaring fiercely toward the inside of the car.
"They said they wanted to buy medicinal herbs. He gave me a lot of things, and I couldn't refuse, so I'm bringing him in to have a look."
The old man, somewhat resigned, pointed at the things in their hands. "You should put everything on the car; it's too heavy to carry."
The two burly men nodded, handed their bundles to the old man, and turned away.
The old man got back into the car and said to Yang Cheng, "Let's go."
Seeing the two burly men leave, Kong Lingwen and Ni Qingyao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
