“Adventuring in the Azure Dragon Mountains has different distribution methods. Some teams agree on the rewards in advance, so the final gains have nothing to do with those recruited later.”
“For those who don’t set rewards in advance, the resources obtained by the team are usually distributed according to each member’s contribution.”
Leo squinted his eyes as he spoke, “Such temporary teams sometimes end up fighting due to unfair distribution, so be cautious when cooperating with them.”
“Got it,” Violet nodded seriously.
As the two approached, they immediately attracted a lot of attention.
A man and a woman, the man was ugly with one eye, and the woman was beautiful and cute.
“Beauty and the Beast.”
“Yeah, such a beauty, following an ugly one-eyed man…”
“Could that one-eyed man be a strong cultivator?”
Various discussions started to arise.
Most of the adventurers here had been living on the edge of danger for years. Leo and Violet looked young, so some people didn’t bother to hide their comments.
“Leo, they’re talking about you.” Hearing those comments, Violet couldn’t help but laugh.
“No way around it, my charm is just too great,” Leo joked.
While Leo and Violet were talking, three men with sinister looks in their eyes glanced over from not far away.
These three men occupied a piece of empty ground. The one in the middle wore a white robe and held a white jade fan. He had a handsome appearance.
The second man was burly, carrying a spiked club on his shoulder, looking quite fierce.
The third man was thin with a monkey-like face, appearing somewhat sleazy.
“Rory, go ask if they want to join us. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen such a pretty chick,” the young man with the white fan said, a smirk forming at the corner of his mouth.
“Yes, Theo,” the sleazy young man nodded.
He understood well that the boss had taken a liking to that girl. He then walked towards the one-eyed young man and the beautiful girl.
“The George Three Brothers are up to no good again.”
“That one-eyed guy and the girl look unfamiliar. I wonder which family or sect they belong to.”
“Coming to the Azure Dragon Mountains without elders, they don’t know how they might die after being targeted by the George Three Brothers.”
Seeing the sleazy young man walk over, some cultivators around showed a hint of pity in their eyes.
The George Three Brothers were quite notorious in the Azure Dragon Mountains area.
The eldest, Theo George, was at the mid-stage Spirit Venerable level. The second brother, Thomas George, and the third brother, Rory George, were at the lower-stage Spirit Venerable level.
The three were ruthless and had considerable strength when working together.
Even upper-stage Spirit Venerable cultivators didn’t want to mess with them.
Additionally, all three were extremely lecherous and had harmed many female cultivators according to rumors.
Although the cultivators present knew what the George Three Brothers intended to do, no one warned the one-eyed man and the red-clothed girl.
No one was foolish enough to offend the always fierce George Three Brothers for unrelated people.
Why not just watch from the sidelines?
“Fellow cultivators,” Rory George approached Leo and Violet with a sleazy smile.
“What’s up?” Leo asked casually.
Rory chuckled, “You two look unfamiliar. This must be your first time at the Azure Dragon Mountains?”
Leo smiled faintly but neither confirmed nor denied it.
“Fellow cultivators, our team is recruiting. Why not join us in going to Gloomy Wolf Valley to pick Netherworld Spirit Flowers? As for rewards, each person will get one Primordial Spirit Pill and an additional thousand Low-Quality Spirit Stones.” Rory offered an enticing reward with what he thought was a friendly smile.
In Rory’s view, these two were young and likely not very powerful. It must be their first time out for training, so they would surely be tempted.
Seeing Leo remain silent, Rory continued, “How about it? Fellow cultivators, would you like to join our team? All cultivators here know that we George Three Brothers are the most trustworthy.”
Leo chuckled and said, “The reward is indeed generous…”
“You agree?” Seeing Leo’s inclination to agree, Rory’s face lit up with joy as he interrupted Leo.
However, Leo’s next words made Rory’s face darken.
“But I’m not interested,” Leo directly refused.
“Violet, let’s go,” Leo said to Violet as he turned around.
Violet made a face at Rory and followed Leo forward.
Rory’s face immediately turned grim.
Leo and Violet hadn’t walked far when two figures flashed and stood in front of them.
One held a white jade fan with a somewhat handsome face. The other carried a spiked club and was tall and burly, looking extremely fierce.
They were Theo and Thomas.
“Sir, if you think the reward is too low, we can discuss it further. We three brothers are friendly people and easy to talk to,” Theo said with a smile after glancing at Leo and then focusing on Violet.
Such a pure and beautiful girl; Theo hadn’t seen one like her in a long time.
“No need,” noticing Theo’s gaze, Leo frowned and replied coldly.
“Fellow cultivators, we George Three Brothers sincerely invite you. The previous reward can be doubled: two Primordial Spirit Pills per person and two thousand Low-Quality Spirit Stones.”
“Of course, if you fear danger, it’s fine. You only need to deal with weaker Gloomy Wolves. We three brothers will handle the stronger ones.”
Seeing Leo refuse again, Theo’s face darkened slightly but soon smiled again.
Leo sneered and shook his head once more. “I never believe in getting something for nothing. If you’re done talking, please step aside.”
Seeing Leo so ungrateful, Theo’s eyes flashed with coldness as he signaled Thomas beside him.
The tall and burly Thomas snorted and stepped forward with his spiked club.
“Sir, my big brother offered generous rewards and sincerely invited you. Refusing repeatedly is too disrespectful to us three brothers!” Thomas said in a deep voice.
After speaking, Thomas slammed his spiked club into the ground heavily, creating a deep pit instantly.
Clearly, Thomas wanted to intimidate Leo.
However, to Thomas’s surprise, the one-eyed young man and the beautiful girl before him showed little change in expression.
“Respect is earned, not given. If you want to form a team, find someone else. I don’t have time to waste words with you,” Leo said impatiently as his expression turned cold.
At this point, Theo’s smile disappeared completely, replaced by a grim look.
