Chapter 2907 The Filthy Rich Is in Danger?
A gray-eared rabbit suddenly emerged from the bushes, putting Lu Zheng on high alert.
Lu Zheng"s eyes brightened upon realizing it was just a harmless rabbit. He took a step forward, conjured a rock from the earth spirit, and gently tapped the rabbit on the head.
Picking up the stunned rabbit, Lu Zheng exclaimed, "Barbecue for lunch!"
Since it was still early afternoon, Qiao Mu couldn"t help but feel exasperated.
Not only did these two old friends chatter incessantly like sparrows on their journey, but they also seemed to have an insatiable appet.i.te for indulging their taste buds…
Perhaps this was the result of decades of companions.h.i.+p?
Lu Zheng carried the rabbit in his hand and followed behind Qiao Mu and the others. He grinned and suggested, "Let"s catch a few more wild animals later and roast them for lunch."
"Sigh, I can"t remember the last time I had a good roast," Chen Qi remarked, sounding somewhat nostalgic.
Qiao Mu automatically glanced at them upon hearing this. "In that case, I"ll let you sample Lady Qiaoqiao"s culinary skills later."
"Thank you, Second Headmaster!" The two of them simultaneously expressed their grat.i.tude with a bow.
Only Crown Prince Mo, privy to the truth, couldn"t help but inwardly tremble.
To be honest, Qiao"s cooking skills were not particularly impressive…
When Qiao Mu declared her intention to cook, individuals like him and Duan Yue didn"t hold high expectations for her culinary talents.
For those who were unaware, like Lu Zheng and Chen Qi, they were easily convinced by her words.
Qiao Mu feigned seriousness and nodded, then led the way with her hands clasped behind her back.
The corners of Mo Lian"s lips curved slightly. She turned to gaze at the expectant Chen Qi and Lu Zheng and silently lowered her eyes.
The two elderly gentlemen trailed behind Qiaoqiao, offering flattery and attempting to curry favor as they walked. "The Second Headmaster is truly remarkable."
"She"s intelligent, beautiful, and extraordinarily generous. Finding someone as perfect as our Second Headmaster in this world is a rare feat."
Mo Lian wholeheartedly concurred with their praise.
However, as Qiao Mu listened to the two men"s accolades, she couldn"t help but feel a blush creeping onto her cheeks.
She was outstanding and intelligent?
Elegant and generous?
It didn"t quite align with her self-perception.
The four of them were hurrying toward the eastern exit when they seemingly heard cries for help in the distance, originating from the west.
Qiao Mu and Mo Lian were not inclined to meddle in others" affairs. Typically, they would steer clear of trouble when they spotted it, so why would they go out of their way to investigate?
Hand in hand, they continued on their path.
However, judging from the sound of wheels, it appeared that the two carriages crying for help were headed in their direction.
"Seriously?"
Simultaneously, they exchanged glances and shared a look with Chen Qi and Lu Zheng. The four of them swiftly scaled a nearby tree.
At that moment, a small carriage careened awkwardly through the forest, approaching them.
A formidable and commanding red wolf harnessed to the carriage stood two head-lengths taller than the vehicle itself.
The carriage appeared exceedingly diminutive, with room for only two individuals.
However, its appearance was down-to-earth with a hint of low-key luxury.
Even the night luminous pearls hanging on the car window were almost the size of two fists.
Was the wealthy individual in peril?
This notion flickered across Qiao Mu"s mind, causing her eyes to involuntarily widen and gleam with intrigue and curiosity.
Before long, the carriage sped beneath the tree, only to be encircled by several robust and burly men dressed in black.
