The boss of the trade caravan felt threatened by Lu Shu . He thought about it and said, “Let me settle this with you . You joined the trade caravan in order to earn money . You also hope that we will be able to bring you to the palace . Am I right?”
“Yes . ” Lu Shu nodded his head .
“Now, not only do I not want your money, I will give you money to protect me,” said Song Bo, the boss of the trade caravan .
Lu Shu waved his hand . “Didn’t you say that you didn’t need my protection?”
Song Bo was speechless . “I need your protection . ”
“500 thousand,” said Lu Shu .
“From Song Bo’s distress, +666!”
No matter what Song Bo thought, Lu Shu felt that he was a very pure person . A bandit for a day is a bandit for life . He never forgot his original aspirations and maintained his morals .
At that moment, the sounds of fighting in the distance slowly died down . Song Bo eagerly looked in the direction of the fight, until Sun Zhongyang and the rest returned to the trade caravan at dawn .
This time, Sun Zhongyang and the rest had won, but the situation was not favorable . Lu Shu realized that their injuries were severe, especially that of Sun Zhongyang’s .
Lu Shu had experienced many battles . Thus, he could tell that Sun Zhongyang had suffered the most pressure in this fight just by looking at his injuries .
Although Sun Zhongyang was a Rank One expert who could remain conscious, another palace genius had fainted . He was carried by his friend .
Sun Zhongyang tiredly looked at Lu Shu and the rest . Then, he said to Song Bo, “We will set off immediately . Prepare horses and carriages for us . We need to tend to the injuries . ”
The situation that Song Bo was most worried about had occurred . Of course, Lu Shu was worried as well . Although Sun Zhongyang and the rest had killed the slaves, they had paid a heavy price themselves .
“I’m afraid that it will be difficult for them to recover their combat power in such a short period of time, ” said Lu Shu to Lu Xiaoyu . “Once a Rank One expert has given up on their ability to fly, it means that they have exhausted all their strength . If someone ambushes them, I’m afraid that not a single one of them will be able to fight back . How young and aggressive . ”
Sun Zhongyang and the rest were obviously older than Lu Shu by a few years . But there was nothing strange about Lu Shu describing them as young and aggressive . Song Bo instinctively asked Lu Shu, “What do we do now?”
When he finished speaking, he wanted to slap himself . He was asking Lu Shu what they should do . Since when did he start to rely on Lu Shu…
It seemed as if Lu Shu was laughing at him . “Let’s hurry up . We’ll talk about it when something happens . ”
Everyone was very worried . Sun Zhongyang and the rest were the shield of the trade caravan, but an unexpected disaster had occurred . Now, everyone was on the same boat . Lu Shu suspected that there were people observing the fight last night . It would be difficult for them if they wanted to escape now .
But Lu Shu did not panic at all . He even wanted to know whether the enemies had any money .
Swordplay was different from training the celestial map . As long as he earned distress points for the celestial map, he would be fine . But swordplay was different . This was the first time Lu Shu understood the meaning of “critical value” after slowly training until he reached peak Rank Two .
In the past, he often heard Li Xianyi that anything above Rank Two relied on one’s aptitude . Rank One was the starting point where one would officially interact with the heaven and the earth . It was also the starting point where people officially started their pursuit of the Dao .
Lu Shu had not officially reached Rank One . He was like Nie Ting when he was stuck at peak Rank One . Back then, Nie Ting had gone to the Kunlun Mountains and came to a new realization when he fought the dragon . From there, he would be able to break through almost immediately .
But the dragon was not as strong as they had imagined . To put it in another way, Nie Ting was stronger than they had imagined . Thus, Nie Ting did not find what he had been looking for . There was no way for him to obtain proof .
Lu Shu was also in a similar situation now . He needed proof .
Thus, when Sun Zhongyang said that he would pay him more money, Sun Zhongyang thought that Lu Shu had been disgusted . But in reality, Lu Shu would not do anything that caused him to incur losses .
What he needed most now was to be in his best condition when an enemy came again .
Later on, Sun Zhongyang and the rest realized that the carriages used to carry passengers had been destroyed in the rain of arrows . The carriages left were open carriages that were used to transport goods…
There was only one carriage left that could protect them from the elements . It belonged to Lu Shu…
Sun Zhongyang and the rest sat on a flatbed cart . They suddenly thought about how Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu had carried their carriage and ran around . They were slightly upset . Back then, all of them were thinking about the fight, but Lu Shu only bothered about the carriage . But after the fight, everyone sat on the flatbed cart with unkempt appearances . They looked like refugees who were going to their relatives for help . On the other hand, Lu Shu was able to sit in his carriage and nurture his sword energy . He remained calm and composed in this urgent situation…
Now, Sun Zhongyang and the rest did not seem like disciples of the palace . Lu Shu looked like one .
But forget it . Sun Zhongyang and the rest had to tend to their injuries . If they could only sit on the flatbed cart, then so be it . But they were annoyed by the fact that Lu Shu rarely did anything in the carriage . Furthermore, he would occasionally sigh at how good having a covered carriage was…
Sun Zhongyang could not bear this humiliation . He said that he wanted to buy Lu Shu’s carriage, but Lu Shu told him that it was not for sale .
A carriage would not be that expensive, no matter the economy . Lu Shu was better off earning distress points from Sun Zhongyang and the rest . Mo Xiaoya bit her lips and looked at the carriage Lu Shu was in . She felt that he had no proper bearings .
In the stories of scholars, sons and daughters of officials were always elegant and brilliant . Before Mo Xiaoya left the palace, she had many fantasies about the outside world . But when she actually stepped out, she realized that the stories were all fake . There were only dirty carts and despicable people like Lu Shu in the outside world…
To ordinary people, Mo Xiaoya and the rest were high-ranking Practitioners . But she was just a young girl who had never seen the vicissitudes of the world . Thus, she burst into tears . She treated her wounds as she cried…
Lu Shu did not know whether to laugh or to cry . To him, this amount of suffering was nothing . What he had experienced back then was much more painful than this .
When he was in the Heavenly Network, he had suffered and gotten injured . He had even reached a point where he had to be carried by Coral . He had even parted with a friend, never to see him again .
This was the reason why Song Bo did not feel that it was strange for Lu Shu to call Sun Zhongyang young and aggressive . Song Bo felt as if this young man had experienced too many life-and-death situations in his life .
The Lu Shu now was not like Sun Zhongyang and the rest, who had power but did not know about the world . He was the Ninth Heavenly King who was respected by thousands!
A carriage approached them . The sound of galloping grew closer . Lu Shu turned and looked at the source of the sound . The driver of the cart looked at him . Lu Shu’s expression was calm .
