‘When Ron heard his question, it would seem rude of him not to respond, so he turned around and asked, “You want to team up with me?” Ron clarified again to ensure that he had not misheard.

“That’s right. If we continue to walk ahead, we will get to the most dangerous place in this valley. If the two of us team up, we can look out for each other,” Arfa said warmly.

But the more Arfa was enthusiastic, the more Ron felt that something was amiss. “No, I’m still used to being alone. You should go alone too.”

With that said, in order to prevent Arfa from asking him again, he quickly walked deeper into the valley. To be precise, he was running, and he was running very fast. In an instant, he disappeared from Arfa’s sight.

“But…” Arfa wanted to say something else, but when he looked up, he could not see Ron.

“Sigh, this person runs really fast. Does he think I’m a bad person? But, I don’t look like a bad person.”

Arfa shook his head, beginning to doubt his own appearance, but there was nothing he could do. He followed Ron into the depths of the valley.

It was not that Arfa still wanted to team up with Ron, but there was only one path in this valley. If he wanted to find treasures, there was only one path.

Time flew by as they searched for treasures. In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

In the past three days, what Ron did not know was that the Nicholas family had become the topic of conversation for everyone in Winterfrost. They talked about the Divine Dragon Beast and the old man, and even made up many seemingly true stories, for example, that the Nicholas family had known the

old man for a long time, and that the old man had come here to seek revenge.

News of the old man wanting to take in the little child from the Nicholas family as a student was mixed in with the rumors and spread wantonly. The various rumors, both true and false, cast a layer of mystery on the Nicholas family clan.

During this period, the City Lord had even gone to the Nicholas family palace to visit the old man. The City Lord had also learned of the old man’s background and the purpose of his visit.

Both his background and purpose of visit had shocked the City Lord. What shocked the City Lord even more was that the Nicholas family had rejected such a good opportunity to be taken in as a student.

The City Lord of Winterfrost felt that ever since the Nicholas family moved to Winterfrost, his understanding of the Nicholas family all these years was not enough to explain what had happened to the Nicholas family the past few days.

In the past three days, everyone had been spreading the news that Senior Xi Bolai had been staying in the Nicholas family’s palace ever since he entered, and that he had not even left the main door.

However, Xi Bolai had been in and out of the Nicholas family palace many times in the past few days, and no one knew. In the past few days, Xi Bolai had already learned a lot of information about the Nicholas family, which he did not know previously.

Some of the information was within Xi Bolai’s expectations, while some were completely beyond his expectations. He was greatly shocked as it was completely different from the information he had previously obtained.

In the past, Xi Bolai had only become interested in this family because of the fated person in the Nicholas family clan. But now, he was very glad to understand this mysterious family clan because of this person.

However, Xi Bolai was an upright person. He disdained the use of orthodox methods to obtain information, so the methods he used to obtain information were all legitimate.

However, after having observed the daily life of the Nicholas family for the past few days, Xi Bolai discovered that it was not exactly the same as the information he had received. If he did not know this information, he would have thought that the entire family were ordinary people. What was different

from the other family clans was that the Nicholas family clansmen, in particular, respected their Old Ancestor.

Xi Bolai had only stayed here for a few days, but he found that everyone would go into the ancestral hall every day to pay respect to their Old Ancestor.

Sometimes, whenever he saw such a scene, Xi Bolai would feel guilty. He was not as devout to his ancestors as they were.

In the beginning, when John had used the ancestral teachings to put Xi Bolai off, he was still skeptical. But now, he believed it.

At the same time, he had developed strong feelings for the Nicholas family clan. He wanted to know what the Old Ancestor had done to make his descendants pay their respects so devoutly.

Little did he know that the person whom Xi Bolai wanted to know about was currently observing him in secret from behind. However, it was impossible for Xi Bolai to know this in his lifetime.

The Noxy State was located in the southwest region of the entire country. Due to its unique geographical location, it had a unique geographical characteristic. 90% of the whole state was covered by desolate mountain forests. The residents of the entire state were also very rugged, and there were also a

number of tribes scattered around.

The Lolan Town was located at the periphery of the Noxy State. It was a very small town with a population that was pitifully small, let alone anyone who knew magical power. Most of the residents here were ordinary people.

Ina small corner of Lolan Town, at the end of a desolate alley, a group of small people had gathered together. They were divided into two sides, as if a battle was about to break out.

The little boy in the lead on one side was dirty all over, and his clothes were also in tatters; on the other side, there was only one person, and it was a little girl. She was half a head shorter than the little boy, and her clothes were also in tatters and covered with patches, but she looked a little better than

the little boy.

Being often under the sun, the little girl’s skin was dark. Her bright eyes on her dark face were staring ahead. Although she was much shorter, her aura was not inferior at all.

The little girl said disdainfully, “You guys can’t defeat me. It’s too embarrassing.”

With a closer look, it could be seen that the little boy had palm imprints and bruises on his face from some slaps earlier. He looked very pitiful.

“Boohoo, see if I don’t go home and tell my mother. You’re not from our town at alll, rascal girl.” The little boy who had been bullied could not defeat her, so he could only vent his anger verbally.

“Rascal girl, you have no parents,” echoed the other companions.

However, the little girl was already immune to such mockery. “Hmph, you only know how to use your mouth. If you have the ability, stand up and fight again.”

The little girl slowly raised the sword in her hand. Although the workmanship was very crude, the shape of the sword could already be seen. The few little boys were so frightened that they quickly got up from the ground.

“What’s there to be afraid of? There are so many of us. Why should we be afraid of a girl?” As they spoke, the little boys stood up. The few of them instantly started fighting…
