Chapter 615 The Mysterious Little Scarface

Ma Tiandou was somewhat displeased.

Logically speaking, after working a night shift, one should rest the next day.

But since Hu Long was his direct superior, he dared not refuse and could only nod immediately: "Okay, okay!"

Ye Kang found it rather strange; why did this commander's eyes look so odd?

He had great faith in his intuition; if something seemed strange, then there must be a problem.

He quietly fixed the scorpion's legs and returned to Windbreak Valley with the others.

The four men carrying the torso were relatively relaxed thanks to the energy boosting pills they had taken. They flew across the ground, and the enormous scorpion carcass was thus transported back to the camp at the valley entrance.

A group of knife wielders wearing aprons and holding various knives rushed out.

The beast's carcass was too large to be moved inside entirely; it had to be decomposed outside first.

Although the Ironhead Scorpion's armor was very tough, the people wielding the tools were prepared. They took out their tools and chopped hard at the joints, quickly breaking the scorpion's body into small pieces.

Ye Kang and the others stepped in again to help carry the small pieces of the scorpion carcass inside.

Only then is the mission truly complete.

After doing all this, Ma Tiandou sent everyone away, reminding them to be on time tomorrow.

Just as Ye Kang was about to leave, the scarred-faced girl walked over and whispered, "Want to have dinner together?"

Ye Kang was startled; it turned out he wasn't mute after all.

He nodded: "Okay, thank you."

The girl didn't say much, turned around and left. Ye Kang followed her, turning left and right, until they finally found a canteen in Windbreak Valley.

That's right, it's the cafeteria. Everyone can eat here, but the food is rough.

After each of them received a portion of meat using their tokens, they found a small table and sat down.

The food consisted of the simplest jerky and steamed buns. Ye Kang could tell at a glance that the jerky was made from the meat of ferocious beasts.

Compared to the materials from those demonic beasts, the meat of demonic beasts is actually the least valuable. After all, a single sand demon can be dozens or even hundreds of feet long, which is more than enough to eat.

Ye Kang wasn't picky; he asked while eating, "What's your name?"

"I don't have a name, just call me Little Scarface."

"My name is Ye Kang, and I just arrived in Windbreak Valley today."

"I know, I've never seen you before."

The scarred man spoke calmly, without even looking up.

Ye Kang continued, "May I ask, do you know what the cultivation levels are of Commander Lian and those soldiers?"

Upon hearing this, the scarred man looked up, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "Commander Lian is a master of the third palace, while the others are all of the first palace."

"What about Captain Jin?" Ye Kang asked casually.

The scarred man's eyes flickered, and he transmitted his voice, "Only those at the Star Luo Realm are qualified to be captains, but Captain Jin is a special case. Liu Gong became a lieutenant captain."

Ye Kang stared at the scarred face, his eyes full of suspicion.

This doesn't sound like something an ordinary corpse mover would say.

He continued, "May I ask, young lady, what are the realms after Nascent Soul and Starfall?"

The scarred man also showed the same expression as Ye Kang.

This guy on the other side seems to be quite different from others.

That's right, Scarface isn't an ordinary person; she has her own purpose in coming here.

The reason Ye Kang was invited to dinner was because he was too calm and didn't seem like a fool who had just arrived.

That's why she specifically asked Ye Kang to come along, intending to observe him for a while.

But strangely, he didn't know about the realms beyond Star Luo? Had he misjudged it?

She tentatively replied, "Transformation into a divine being, the Starry Sky, Nirvana, returning to one's true self, and merging with the Dao. What lies beyond merging with the Dao, I do not know."

Ye Kang suddenly realized that the question that had troubled him for so long had finally been answered.

So there are so many levels above! I've been stuck here for so long and I'm only at the starting point!

He was speechless, but still forced himself to remain calm and asked, "May I ask, fellow Daoist, where can one obtain the Nascent Soul Technique?"

Upon hearing this, Little Scarface almost spat out his food.

Where did this idiot come from? Who asks someone about martial arts techniques like that? Isn't he asking for a beating?

But the more this happened, the more interesting Little Scarface found Ye Kang.

"You don't have the Nascent Soul Technique?"

"Um, my master passed away early, before he could even pass on the teachings..."

"I see. Actually, the simplest way is to find a Nascent Soul expert, kill him, and search his storage bag. You might be able to find it there."

Little Scarface made a joke, but to her surprise, Ye Kang actually looked thoughtful and then nodded!

What does this mean?! This guy doesn't actually think this is a good idea, does he?!

Ye Kang indeed thought so, and he said, "Thank you for clearing up my doubts, fellow Daoist."

"Wait! I was just joking. You can actually save up money and buy it at the Linglong Chamber of Commerce. Other shops also have it. The Nascent Soul Technique is everywhere."

"I was just kidding, too."

Ye Kang smiled slightly, which stunned the scarred man, whose lips trembled several times.

This bastard!

I've been pretending to be so profound for so long, and this bastard has completely ruined it!

She was about to curse Ye Kang when suddenly two burly men walked over.

"You two stinking corpse carriers, get away from here. The stench of blood on you is disturbing our meal, you know?"

The two burly men, wearing vests and with dark skin, were clearly miners in charge of the mine.

Although their cultivation level was also at the Eight Pillars, they didn't take Ye Kang and Little Scarface seriously at all, since the corpse-carrying team was the lowest-level profession in Windbreak Valley.

Little Scarface picked up his bowl and chopsticks, not wanting to cause trouble.

But Ye Kang sniffed himself carefully and asked in confusion, "Nothing? How come your noses are so sensitive that you can smell scents that other people can't?"

Upon hearing this, Scarface was dumbfounded.

The two burly men were stunned for a moment, then simultaneously erupted in fury: "You dare call us dogs!"

Two fists swung down at Ye Kang's face at the same time, and the next second, the two of them fell to the ground, unable to get up again.

At that moment, Scarface's eyes narrowed, his pupils filled with astonishment.

She hadn't even seen Ye Kang's movements clearly when the two men were already on the ground.

What's wrong with this guy?!

Ye Kang stood up nonchalantly and said, "Let's go, someone's in the way."

The scarred man immediately leaned closer: "Who are you?!"

"I am Ye Kang."

"Stop playing dumb with me! What's your purpose in coming to Windbreak Valley? Who are you working for?!"

Ye Kang asked innocently, "What do you mean, fellow Daoist? Rather, whose side are you on?"

"..."

The scarred man gave Ye Kang a deep, penetrating look, but said nothing.

Indeed, Ye Kang had long since noticed that Little Scarface was unusual. Although she hid it very well, he had the Unfathomable Azure Eyes and could always see something was amiss.

This guy looks to be at the same cultivation level as me, but there's always a hazy aura about him that's hard to describe.

She concealed her cultivation level; her true strength was at least above the first palace level.

This conversation just now further confirmed my suspicion, after all, an ordinary homeless girl wouldn't say such things.
