Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Mo Xiaoya’s view of Lu Shu had been fixed . But was Lu Shu doing this for money? He was trying to rid any suspicion that he was the commander of the Wei Wu Army . He was just earning money along the way…

After all, there were many clues . Lu Shu was from Nangeng City and he was powerful . If one did not think carefully about it, there would be no suspicions . But Lu Shu could not treat Sun Zhongyang and the rest as fools .

Thus, he brought in some side details in order to get rid of any suspicion . It would then be easier for him to carry out his plans in the future .

Lu Shu secretly looked at the expressions of Sun Zhongyang and the rest . Then, he told Lu Xiaoyu, “They’ve believed it! Your idea is not bad!”

“Of course it will,” said Lu Xiaoyu with a smile . Lu Shu had told her about his worries . Thus, after some painstaking investigation, she felt that the grains from the Long Meng Army would be useful . After all, no one knew that she was the one who had taken the grains away from them . Everything was under control!

At that moment, Lu Shu was dumbfounded . Countless birds flew overhead from the forest . They crowded together and formed a layer .

The flapping of their wings produced a large commotion . It was as if danger was approaching .

Sun Zhongyang and the others grew serious . They calmly looked in the direction of the forest . “They’re here . ”

Everyone knew that if those who wanted to kill them did not give up, they would attack within three days, as Sun Zhongyang and the rest only need three days to recover .

After three days, the slaves would have died for nothing .

Mo Xiaoya asked calmly, “What do we do now?”

She subconsciously looked at Lu Shu . Their wounds had not fully healed . They did not have much combat strength .

The enemy had spent a lot of money to ask the slaves to reduce the strength of Sun Zhongyang and the rest . The following forces might not be as powerful . Just as Sun Zhongyang had said, the more combat power they used, the easier it was for the Sun family to find clues .

But, if a Rank One appeared, they would not be able to defend themselves .

Mo Xiaoya was most worried that Lu Shu would discard his loyalty and run away . She could be slightly relieved, but she could not completely trust Lu Shu .

They could already see soldiers coldly observing them . It was as if an even more frightening opponent was hiding in the woods .

When Song Bo saw these cold armored soldiers, he did not feel safe . “They are the notorious mercenary soldiers . How did they come from the North Region?”

Sun Zhongyang was very calm . Sons of rich families were not as terrible as people had thought . On the contrary, handsome and capable young man could often be found among them . In the past, Sun Zhongyang had seen a senior disciple of the Sword Hut and was rated as “having patience” . These two words were the reason why Sun Zhongyang had become famous in the palace .

It was all because a senior disciple of the Sword Hut had said so .

Sun Zhongyang said, “They are still not willing to reveal their identities . They actually made these fugitives come all the way here . They are really willing to spend money . ”

Lu Shu looked at Sun Zhongyang . “How much does it cost to hire them?”

Sun Zhongyang looked at Lu Shu with a puzzled expression on his face . He did not expect this young man to still be thinking about money . “Not more than seven million . Don’t touch them . They have a Rank One expert among them . ”

Lu Shu laughed . “Then I will be at a loss . Let me work this out with you . If I kill them, will you give me seven million?”

“Are you out of your mind?” Mo Xiaoya could not believe it . “Do you value money more than your life?”

“Let me add one more condition . ” Lu Shu did not care about Mo Xiaoya . “When we reach the palace, help me convert all my money into goods . ”

“What goods?” Sun Zhongyang was puzzled .

“I’ll talk about it when we reach the palace . I promise that it is something that you can buy . I won’t ask for the stars in the sky,” said Lu Shu was a smile .

“Even if you want the stars in the sky, we don’t have them,” said Mo Xiaoya with disdain .

“I have them,” said Lu Shu jokingly .

He wanted to convert the money for magical armor .

There was enough armor for the Wei Wu Army, but the Heavenly Network still lacked armor . He only had 20 thousand sets of bronze armor . But after the new batch of Practitioners came from the seven major Cultivation Colleges, they would reach 100 thousand people!

Not only was Lu Shu the commander of the Wei Wu Army, he was also the Ninth Heavenly King of the Heavenly Network . Earlier, Lu Shu was thinking about how the fatality rates in the Heavenly Network would decrease if everyone had a set of armor .

Lu Shu looked forward to it . What would it be like for 100 thousand Heavenly Network members to charge forth with their armor?

But he could not tell Sun Zhongyang and the rest that he wanted magical armor .

After all, many people knew that the Wei Wu Army was collecting armor . It would be easy for them to make connections .

“Okay . I agree,” said Sun Zhongyang . “But you’d better think about it . I don’t think that you will be able to kill these people . ”

Mo Xiaoya was silent . She then said, “I don’t think money is as important as your life . Don’t throw away your life for money . ”

No one believed that Lu Shu would be able to kill them .

But at that moment, Lu Shu happily jumped off the carriage . “Wait here . Don’t worry . Since you have paid me, the situation that you are most worried about will not happen . ” With that, Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu went into the forest .

Mo Xiaoya looked at Lu Shu’s back . She realized that he was calm as usual . When she thought about how greedy he was, Mo Xiaoya could no longer understand how such conflicting characteristics could be found in one person .

For some reason, this moment made Sun Zhongyang believe that this young man would be able to return from the forest .

When the soldiers saw Lu Shu walking towards them, they retreated into the deeper part of the forest . They wanted to set up their formation in an advantageous place .

Although they had received information that this young man was only a Rank Two, they had lived comfortably as notorious soldiers as they were careful and ferocious .

They did not have the tyranny of a male lion, but they were ferocious wolves .

Song Bo looked at them leave with mixed feelings . He straightened his clothes and saluted to Sun Zhongyang . “I will assist him . Although I am a businessman, I have to do justice to my strength as well…”

Sun Zhongyang sat cross-legged on the flatbed cart and looked at Song Bo with mixed feelings . In the past, he looked down on Song Bo, as he was inherently a businessmen who prioritized profits . But now, his impression of him had been renewed .

But before Song Bo could take a step, and before Sun Zhongyang could say anything else, they saw Lu Shu suddenly turn back . “If you want to come, you have to pay!”

Song Bo suddenly felt as if he had been humiliated…

“From Song Bo’s distress, +666…”

Xu Mujun sat on the carriage and supported her chin with her hands . She looked at Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu walk away . In the past, that person in a ceremonial dress had told her that she would have good luck .

Back then, Xu Mujun did not believe this . But now, she suddenly believed these words .
