Chapter 2213 — Something Seems Off

"..." Sun Jingyan was speechless at his explanation, yet unable to refute it. She could only lie down on the bed in frustration and say, "I'm going to sleep then. I've told you everything anyway—do whatever you like!"
Wei Zhao knew she was just sulking and paid her no mind. With a faint smile, he closed his eyes and began to cultivate.
Three days passed in a flash. During that time, Lazi sent over a map of the Wulonghaote Mountains and a file on the fire lion—though the map covered only the Lower Range; the Middle Range was only partly included, and beyond that was blank.
Presumably, even those who had been up there would not have bothered recording the terrain and drawing a map, given the perils above.
"Mr. Zhang, the members of this adventure mission are all ready. Please come downstairs—we're setting off!" Lazi said to Wei Zhao. "We'll be right in front of the Adventurers' Guild."
"All right, I'll tidy up and be right there," Wei Zhao said.
"I'll go notify the others." Lazi nodded and withdrew. Wei Zhao and Sun Jingyan packed up briefly, and then Wei Zhao said to the Thunder Pig, "Sorry to trouble you, but you'll have to go into Jingyi's backpack for now."
"Squeak, squeak..." The Thunder Pig was clever and understood Wei Zhao's meaning at once. It could not afford to be exposed before others now; a Profound Rank spirit beast—even one not of the offensive type—would be nothing but trouble if the Tagan family caught sight of it.
Wei Zhao planned to release the Thunder Pig only after they were up in the Wulonghaote Mountains and acting on their own. The Thunder Pig was extremely sensitive to maps and routes, and having it along would save no small amount of trouble.
Two cultivators were already standing before the Adventurers' Guild. A glance told Wei Zhao their strength: one at the early Yellow Rank, the other at the peak of the early Yellow Rank. The two clearly knew each other and stood there chatting about something...
When Wei Zhao and Sun Jingyan walked over, the two fell silent and gave Wei Zhao a rather wary look, but said nothing.
Since they did not speak, Wei Zhao could not be bothered to strike up a conversation either.
They stood there waiting a while, and still no fourth person appeared. The two Yellow Rank hands were visibly impatient. The black-clad one at the peak of the early Yellow Rank frowned and turned to Wei Zhao with a dissatisfied look. "Hey, where's the other one? We've all been waiting for him—has he no sense of time at all?"
Wei Zhao gave the man a cold glance and ignored him.
Seeing that Wei Zhao paid him no attention, the black-clad cultivator at the peak of the early Yellow Rank grew annoyed and snapped, "Hey, kid, I'm talking to you—didn't you hear? Are you deaf or mute?"
