Chapter 120

A piercing noise sounded in the distance . Mu Yi was still doing the sacrificial ritual but he opened his eyes . He gazed into the distance out of the window .

The creature initially intended to continue fighting . His white eyes became red and he suddenly took a few steps back . Mo Ruyan was shocked and turned quickly to run . Even though the creature’s leg was injured because of the spear tip stuck inside, he could still move quickly .

The creature moved away quickly . He appeared a few times in different places before he disappeared in the darkness . When the crowd saw the creature disappear into the distance, they took a deep breath . Mo Ruyan was relieved too .

When Big Slave saw the creature disappear, he stood there for a few seconds . He went back into the carriage right after . Mo Ruyan glanced at the carriage and then started picking up things from the ground .

The Far Ink Professional Organization had suffered important losses during that battle . One fifth of the people they had brought had died . They hadn’t faced such a tragedy in a long time .

Even though she was sad, she also knew that she had to persevere . She couldn’t give up . She was a pillar for the organization . Everybody was depressed though, including Uncle Cai .

The next morning in one of the carriages, there were eight pots filled with bone ashes . Travelers were used to such things though . It was most important to be able to bring back someone’s ashes to their native land .

The negotiator had turned into a zombie . It was strange, but either way, they had to deliver the goods in Luoyang . They would do their best to find the buyer . It wasn’t only about the money, it was also about their reputation .

Everybody agreed on that in the organization . Therefore, even if everybody thought there was something strange about the goods, nobody checked them . Rules were rules . It was important to respect rules in business .

After that, everybody motivated themselves . Even though they were only about three days away from Luoyang, they knew that these last days wouldn’t be fun .

Mu Yi came out of the carriage and glanced around . He hadn’t come out at all during the incident . Some people were angry . They thought that if Mu Yi had made the giant fight before, they wouldn’t have lost so many people .

Therefore, their opinion was now completely different from before . They now considered Mu Yi as a weakling and a coward, and Big Slave as a hero . Now, even if Big Slave ate a lot, they didn’t mind . Some people even shared their own portion with him . They looked at Mu Yi coldly .

Mo Ruyan ignored Mu Yi as well . Mu Yi didn’t care at all though, especially since it was just a misunderstanding . Not to mention that he was their client . It was these people’s job to protect him . He didn’t need to help them .

“Please accept my apologies in their names . ” said Mo Ruyan that evening .

After all, Mo Ruyan had seen people looking at Mu Yi with disdain the whole day . Now, she was less angry . She looked detached from the world again . She was almost back to normal .

“It’s alright . I am afraid to die too,” said Mu Yi indifferently .

“What I said has nothing to do with you fearing death or not . You’re a client . We need to protect you . Therefore, even if we all died, it wouldn’t be your fault either,” said Mo Ruyan shaking her head .

“If you all die, who will bring me to Luoyang?” said Mu Yi .

“We’re only two days away from Luoyang now . If you can, leave with Big Slave tomorrow morning,” said Mo Ruyan .

She turned around and stopped looking at him .

“You’re making a client leave alone? That’s how the Far Ink Professional Organization works?” said Mu Yi mockingly .

“You know that’s not what I mean . If you follow us, you’ll be in even more danger . Your target destination is Luoyang, isn’t it?” said Mo Ruyan ignoring his mocking tone .

“Yes, but yesterday evening Big Slave also got involved . Who knows what could happen next? Maybe the enemy will want to attack us now . If I leave alone, maybe that the enemy will kill me,” said Mu Yi .

“Alright . Tonight, don’t stay in the carriage, otherwise we won’t be able to save you,” said Mo Ruyan, then she turned around and left .

She was worried about what would happen in the evening too . After she left, Mu Yi shook his head but he still went to the room Mo Ruyan had prepared for him and Big Slave . The room next door was Mo Ruyan’s room .

If anything happened, she’d be able to protect him as quickly as possible . After all, Mu Yi was a big guest . He had paid one thousand Liang of gold . It was a lot of money .

“Brother, will you help her?” asked Nian Nuer coming out of the Bamboo Tree of Life .

Big Slave looked so happy to see Nian Nuer, he immediately walked over to her . Nian Nuer jumped onto his shoulder and swung her legs .

“Why do you ask?” asked Mu Yi taking out his copper lamp and turning it on .

“If you didn’t want to help her, you would have left already,” said Nian Nuer .

She understood Mu Yi and his personality . The reason why Mu Yi had decided to resort to the Far Ink Professional Organization’s services was to avoid trouble . Now, they would soon arrive in Luoyang . He could leave alone . He would even arrive earlier, but he stayed with them .

“You’re growing up, little girl,” said Mu Yi smiling .

He grabbed the bamboo tree and tapped her with it .

“Ouch!” Nian Nuer said, looking at Mu Yi and pouting .

Using other things, he couldn’t hit her because she was a ghost, but the Bamboo Tree of Life was an exception . Mu Yi didn’t hit her hard, he just lightly tapped to tease her . When Big Slave heard her shout, he looked at Mu Yi aggressively .

“What? You want to rebel as well?” said Mu Yi raising the bamboo tree and aiming at Big Slave’s head .

Even if Big Slave was strong, he didn’t dare try to do anything .

“You like to bully the weak but fear the strong,” said Nian Nuer tapping Big Slave’s head . Big Slave giggled like an idiot .
