Chapter 2521: Chapter 2522: Extremely Unlucky!
Especially when they saw the guards coming up behind Lin Baizhong, they really were about to be thrown out of the Hongye Pavilion.
At this moment, how could they still be unwilling to travel with that couple?
"No, no, no, Commander Lin, please let me explain, we have others, it’s just that they haven’t arrived here yet, they’ll be here very soon." Another man hurriedly explained.
He cursed inwardly, was this Commander Lin too difficult to talk to?
"More people?"
Lin Baizhong’s expression finally eased a bit, no longer icy cold.
"If there are more people, then that’s good. Men, watch these three people, and if no one else arrives later, do not allow them into the sea forest under any circumstances!"
But he still called the guards to watch over the three of them.
The three people turned visibly anxious upon hearing this.
They had thought they could bluff their way through, form a team of three, and enter the sea forest.
Unexpectedly, Commander Lin actually had the guards watch over them!
"Yes, Commander." Two guards immediately came over and stood by the three men.
The three men: "..."
This made it seem as if they had done something wrong, how could this be?
Even if they were to enter the sea forest, they should have the freedom to move around, right? How could they be guarded this way?
"Lin..."
One of them wanted to speak, but Lin Baizhong had already turned around and walked away without looking back.
The three of them were dumbfounded by such actions.
Oh well, there was no other way, they could only wait for the couple to arrive. As for the other two people, they’d figure something out then, but they had no idea if they could eventually enter the sea forest or not.
Thinking about it, they were really down on their luck!
After a while, Sui Zimo finally arrived, supporting Lin Caisang, followed by Lin Changhong and Yue Chushui, the four of them arriving belatedly.
The three men, seeing that there were actually four people, suddenly saw a glimmer of hope.
Ignoring their previous lamentations about their bad luck, they quickly said something to the guards beside them, then hurried to Sui Zimo and the others.
"Why did it take you so long to get here? We’ve been waiting for ages!"
Their words were immediately accusatory. Indeed, they had been waiting for ages, especially being guarded by those two guards, as if they were criminals.
As alchemists and apothecaries, when had they ever been treated like this?
"Who are you?"
Not waiting for Sui Zimo and Lin Caisang to speak, Lin Changhong stepped forward and directly questioned the three men.
"Uh!"
The three men were taken aback by his question.
The key point was...
They looked at the pregnant lady, then at the young man questioning them, and these two people, they had the same face.
Alike, they looked so much alike!
And this face seemed so familiar, as if they’d seen it somewhere before.
"We...we are on the same team as you." One of them finally came to his senses and replied to Lin Changhong.
"On the same team?"
Lin Changhong’s eyes scrutinized the man up and down.
"Then why haven’t I seen you before?"
"This..."
The three men were once again stumped by his question.
Could they say that before arriving at the hall, they were trying to find a way to join other teams?
If it weren’t for having no other options, how could they have boldly stepped forward like this?
