Apart from what they had just recounted, they didn’t know anything else even after staying here for several days. For one thing, the people in this village were more tight-lipped. For another, at least on the surface, the villagers were indeed living very well. They were self-sufficient and happy.

Wu Haoming pondered for a moment before he said, “Boss, there really isn’t anything else! We’ve only been here for a few days. If something really did happen, the villagers wouldn’t tell us. However, they’ve repeatedly stressed that we mustn’t approach the temple. I keep feeling that there’s something wrong with it. Otherwise, why would it be so secretive?”

Xiao Shan immediately echoed him. Chi Shuyan felt that there was more to this matter. For a moment, everyone in the room was deep in thought, until Qi Zhenbai noticed some strangers come in, and he looked at them sharply.

He was born with a high status and had a powerful aura. When his sharp gaze swept over them, they felt their hearts turn cold. The villagers who came in were all ordinary people and were really frightened. Their faces turned pale and terrified as they stuttered, “Brother… Brother Wu! Your… your friends are here?”

After confirming that the villagers weren’t dangerous, Qi Zhenbai guessed that they had formed a close bond with Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan in the past day or two, so he immediately withdrew his icy gaze.

Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan had indeed gotten quite close to these villagers in the past two days. To be honest, if it wasn’t for the Buddha statue, they really would have thought that most of the villagers were warm and welcoming.

It was three young men who had come: they were called Da Qing, Xu Meng and Xu Gao. They took special care of Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan while the two were staying in the village, and both sides had gotten friendly with each other.

The three of them were in their twenties. As the youngest, Xu Gao had just turned 20 this year. Xu Meng and Xu Gao were also brothers.

When Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan saw that the three of them had come, they immediately smiled and introduced the trio to their boss and President Qi. “Boss, President Qi, Great Mas…” Before they could finish speaking, Chi Shuyan had the two of them change their words. “Just use my name!”

This village was mysterious and strange in every way; who knew if the title “Great Master” was a taboo for them?

Chi Shuyan hadn’t let down her guard since arriving at the village.

Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan were stumped. Qi Zhenbai and Feng Yuanlin, on the other hand, were very smart people. As soon as Shuyan said that, the two of them immediately understood her motive. Feng Yuanlin immediately chimed in, “Old Wu, Old Xiao, since we’re on good terms, just call Shuyan by her name in the future. Forget everything else!”

When he said this, Feng Yuanlin was still worried that his friend would be jealous. After all, his friend was extraordinarily possessive of Shuyan.

But to Feng Yuanlin’s surprise, his friend’s expression didn’t change at all, and he even nodded at the other two.

In fact, Feng Yuanlin was thinking too much. Qi Zhenbai knew that he was possessive and jealous, but he wasn’t someone who didn’t know when things were serious. Besides, it was just a name. As long as other men didn’t use intimate nicknames like Yan Yan or “wife,” Qi Zhenbai didn’t care.

Feng Yuanlin heaved a sigh of relief and listened as Old Wu and Old Xiao introduced the three villagers. They repeatedly said that the three took good care of them and were good people.

When the three heard Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan’s words, they were a bit shy and hurriedly waved their hands.

Chi Shuyan was the only woman in their group. Moreover, she was very beautiful and had fair skin. She stood out in the village, and attracted the attention of the three young men.

But the people in this village were indeed very simple. Da Qing and Xu Meng didn’t dare take a second look. Only Xu Gao, who was the youngest, took a few more looks, and his face and neck immediately flushed red.

Qi Zhenbai’s face suddenly darkened and a cold light flashed in his eyes. Xu Gao didn’t dare look anymore.

Chi Shuyan wasn’t disgusted by the three young people’s scrutiny and curiosity. Their eyes were clear and they didn’t seem to have any other thoughts. Seeing that the three of them didn’t have evil physiognomy, her face softened a lot and she took the initiative to ask, “Why are you here?”

When Chi Shuyan asked this, the three of them immediately remembered why they had come. The eldest, Da Qing, immediately said, “Brother… Brother Xiao, Brother Wu, I heard that your friends are here. The village chief asked you to drop by with them.”

Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming also knew the custom in this village. When strangers entered the village, they had to go to the village chief for the sake of appearance. They immediately agreed. “Okay, thank you for the reminder!”

Da Qing, Xu Meng and Xu Gao hurriedly waved their hands. It wasn’t good for the three of them to be a nuisance, so they immediately found an excuse to leave. Before they left, they didn’t forget to remind the others, “Then, Brother Xiao and Brother Wu, hurry and go see the village chief. Although our village has some strict rules, we still welcome guests. The village chief is also a good person and has never made things difficult for anyone. As long as you don’t violate the rules of our village, the village chief won’t say a word. By the way, it just so happens that you came at the right time. Apparently, quite a well-known film crew will be shooting here. You should stick around for a few more days!”

With that, the three left.

Chi Shuyan stared at their backs as they disappeared out the door. She pursed her lips and said, “The people in this village are pretty good! But doesn’t this village disapprove of outsiders? Yet a film crew has been allowed to shoot here?”
