Sun Zhongyang and the group of sick people finally had a carriage to sit on . Although there was a big hole at the back of the carriage and they spent 50,000 worth of notes on that carriage, they did not seem to mind at all .
At least, they had a shelter . The evening after Lu Shu obtained the carriage, it rained cats and dogs . Mo Xiaoya felt grateful to Sun Zhongyang .
The carriage could barely fit five people . Therefore, Sun Zhongyang and the rest gave the opportunity to sit in the carriage to Mo Xiaoya and four other girls .
Without comparison, one would not know who was good and who was bad . Therefore, after experiencing Sun Zhongyang’s gentleman-like manners, Lu Shu failed so much in comparison .
Sun Zhongyang and the rest were extremely familiar with each other . They had known each other for more than 20 years . Therefore, they seemed to have been used to each others’ characters . Therefore, Sun Zhongyang’s kindness was gradually neglected and it was difficult for them to develop feelings for each other .
However, on this night, a girl suddenly felt that Sun Zhongyang was really nice and developed some feelings for him…
Lu Shu looked at them in joy and did not care about how they viewed him . He even felt that if any couples arised from this group of people, they had to thank him…
Although he avoided the assassination, Lu Shu was still worried . That was because the people who attacked were only testing . Moreover, the assassination that came after the slaves were massacred made Lu Shu confirm his judgement . His opponents had prepared more than one attack .
Sun Zhongyang and the rest tried their best to recover but because their injuries were severe, they would need at least three days to recover .

Therefore, in those three days, the trade caravan was in extreme danger .
For some reason, Mo Xiaoya always felt that Lu Shu did not have a sense of emergency and was still casually practising his sword techniques .
On the second day during lunch, Mo Xiaoya suddenly said, “Are you not worried at all? Since you are protecting us as a form of exchange of terms, you won’t be able to leave as and when you like . If you decide to betray us now, the twelve families will find you and kill you . ”
Lu Shu raised his eyebrows . “Who said I am not protecting you guys, don’t make it sound as though I am so bad . ”
Mo Xiaoya thought, Lu Shu was pretty reliable normally and she would not need to worry about his intentions and suspect him .
In fact, she wanted to test if Lu Shu was the spy of the rear mountain of the Sword Hut . However, when she did that, would Lu Shu ask her if there was a rear mountain of the Sword Hut?
Mo Xiaoya said quietly as the disciples of the palace were interacting, “I don’t think he is the spy from the rear mountain of the Sword Hut . I can’t imagine someone from the rear mountain of the Sword Hut to be so greedy for money . Have you guys seen anyone who is so greedy for money from the Sword Hut? The Sword Hut does not lack money at all!”
The Sword Hut did not have many proper businesses, even if the fees for accepting successors were expensive, with only four successors per year, the income of the Sword Hut was limited . Nevertheless, Sun Zhongyang and the rest did not dare to underestimate the capability of the Sword Hut .
Firstly, 20 percent of the tax income went to the palace and 80 percent went to the King of Gods . Secondly, the offerings of the disciples of the Sword Hut, who were located all over the Luniverse, added up to an immense amount .
Someone in the palace had once said that the Sword Hut was one of the rare places that did not need to worry about money as money was always sufficient .

Therefore, it was really unimaginable for someone who was greedy for money to come from a place which did not lack money!
“Could it be that the trainees of the rear mountain of the Sword Hut were not given allowance and had to make their own living?” Someone asked curiously .
“Stop finding excuses for him,” Mo Xiaoya said firmly, “He is just poor . ”
“Now is not the time to think about this,” said Sun Zhongyang suddenly, “Xiaoya, when can the expert of your family reach?”
“Based on the distance, I think he needs two days to fly from the palace to this place,” said Mo Xiaoya, “We need to find a way to survive these next two days . ”
“I wonder if the young man can last through,” sighed Sun Zhongyang, “I guess not . No matter how powerful he is, he is only a Rank Two and can never match up to a Rank One . ”
Sun Zhongyang placed hope in Lu Shu as he guessed that Lu Shu’s identity was related to the Sword Hut . However, if the people who wanted to kill them sent Rank One experts again, they would be doomed .
They were hoping that their opponent would not dare to send their Rank One experts or were unable to find the Rank One experts who were hiding .
Each family’s Rank One experts had their names and would be easily discovered by other families if they moved around . After all, each party was holding their guard up against each other . Once someone found out that one sabotaged another family’s descendants, the two families would go all out to fight against each other .
The aristocrats of the palace liked to carry things out in the dark . Like the ocean, no matter how aggressive the current was under the water, the surface was always calm .

Everyone was used to having a backup plan for themselves .
At this moment, the boss of the trade caravan said suddenly, “I think there is a higher probability for him to be the successor of the Sword Hut . ”
“Oh? Why?” Sun Zhongyang was curious .
Song Bo mentioned the story about how someone died strangely last night . “I suspect that there’s an expert protecting them secretly . Perhaps there was more than one assassin . Therefore, I think we are not in as dangerous a position as we had expected . Did you guys not see how the young man was so composed and calm!”
Sun Zhongyang thought about it . “Judging from this, he has a reason to collect money . However, none of us noticed that there were people protecting him from the back . Could it be that the person was more powerful than us, therefore they can’t be noticed by us?”
“Possible,” said Song Bo .
A group of them were discussing in the shadow near the carriage . At this moment, Sun Zhongyang was stunned and said, “Hold on, where is Le Yulu?”
They looked around and did not see Lu Shu . Wasn’t he just beside the bonfire earlier on?
Then, a voice was heard from overhead, “I am here, I am here . ”
Sun Zhongyang and the rest lifted their heads and got a shock of their life when they saw Lu Shu at the top of the carriage! All of them were severely injured and did not notice it when someone came close!
Lu Shu smiled as he looked at the rest . To be honest, when Sun Zhongyang asked the question regarding where Le Yulu was, he almost did not realize that Sun Zhongyang was calling himself .
“Why are you on the top of the carriage?” Mo Xiaoya’s face was black . She wanted to scold Lu Shu for eavesdropping but did not put it bluntly because they still had to depend on Lu Shu to protect them for these two days .
Lu Shu smiled . “I am eavesdropping . ”
Mo Xiaoya’s face turned even blacker . Why was he so blatant about eavesdropping? Then, everyone looked up and saw Lu Xiaoyu and Xu Mujun sitting crossed-legged on the top of the carriage too…
Sun Zhongyang suddenly felt as though he was stabbed in the heart . Why did Xu Mujun, a lady of good character, get influenced by Le Yulu!
