Chapter 979: Don’t You Want to Reconsider?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Recruiting Yi Qian was an accident but it went surprisingly smoothly. Lu Shu was thinking about it as well, for example, if they had recruited the Imperial Dragon Soldiers, how many people outside the settlement were like the lonely spirits?

“Who employed you guys?” asked Lu Shu curiously.

Yi Qian shook his head. “The people employed us because they did some shameful things. Therefore, they would definitely not reveal themselves. We also do not ever ask about their ident.i.ty and will accept the task as long as we find it acceptable.”

“I see.” Lu Shu nodded. “Do they have any other backups?”

“I am not sure about this as well.” Yi Qian shook his head. “However, I think that without you, this time we would have been rather successful. The children of the Sun family and the rest had exhausted most of their energy as they did not expect to meet you.”

However, Yi Qian was still somewhat confused. Why was Lu Shu’s swordplay so powerful?

“Er… Is there anyone in there?” Song Bo’s voice could be heard. The people outside did not know what was happening after a long silence in the forest and sent Song Bo over to check it out.

Song Bo was very weak. With the ma.s.sive movement during the rise to Rank One, even 100 Song Bos would not be enough for the people in the forest.

Sun Zhongyang and the rest were very confused. The movements brought by the rise to Rank One was too big. However, shouldn’t one continue with the fight after rising to Rank One? If it was quiet before the rise, it would be also very quiet after the rise.

They did not know that Yi Qian would be so obedient…

Song Bo saw what happened in front of him. Yi Qian and Lu Shu were discussing about something as though nothing had happened…

Song Bo was scared to death. Was Le Yulu really going to betray the rest? If the movement earlier on was caused by him, and he had reached an undisclosable agreement with the messed up mercenaries, then everything would be over!

Lu Shu turned and smiled at Song Bo. “It’s alright, everything has been settled. However, I said earlier on, you have to pay more for entering.”

“Okay I’ll pay!” Song Bo nodded anxiously. He was afraid that Lu Shu would kill him on the spot if he did not pay.

Yi Qian was stunned when he witnessed this. To him, he should have been establis.h.i.+ng his own career with Lu Shu, for example, fighting for several thousand years? However, it did not seem like the case. Could he really have been mistaken?

However, Yi Qian was very sure about it. He had always been paying attention to Liu Yizhao. It was because he was the closest to Liu Yizhao in the past when he was one of the Imperial Dragon Soldiers. Liu Yizhao would not sign a Treaty of Alliance with anyone if he was unsure of Lu Shu’s ident.i.ty.

Therefore, the new king was certainly… A little different from the past…

After Lu Shu reached the trade caravan with Song Bo and Yi Qian, Sun Zhongyang was stunned. “This brat is really planning to sell us?”

If he was not planning to sell them, why would he bring the leader of the mercenaries over?

Lu Shu was unhappy when he heard what Sun Zhongyang said. “Am I that kind of person? To me, money is not important. I am collecting money from you in order for you guys to understand that there’s no free lunch in the world. You have to pay a price for everything you do. If not, I would definitely not collect money from you guys.”

Sun Zhongyang and the rest fell speechless when they heard what Lu Shu said. Mo Xiaoya almost exploded in rage. “You don’t want money? More like you don’t want a small sum of money!”

Lu Shu felt that Mo Xiaoya really did not understand him well. He actually wanted a small sum of money too…

“This is…” Sun Zhongyang suddenly realized that the situation did not seem like they were being sold. Why did they start chit-chatting?

Sun Zhongyang was examining Yi Qian carefully. He had a huge build and was wearing black armor, looking extremely powerful like the sun. This was the first time he had met the leader of the mercenaries. In the past, the Sun family had made deals with Yi Qian and tasked Yi Qian to do some shameful things on their behalf. However, Sun Zhongyang did not meet Yi Qian face-to-face before.

However, why was Yi Qian following Lu Shu?

Lu Shu smiled happily. “I recruited him. He felt that he had a bright future if he followed me, so he decided to follow me.”

Sun Zhongyang was puzzled. What the f*ck? He looked at Yi Qian and said in surprise, “Are you not going to reconsider your decision?”

Lu Shu was speechless.

Yi Qian was speechless.

Sun Zhongyang felt that everything was messed up. How could he recruit a Rank One expert just like that?

Could it be that Yi Qian found out that Lu Shu’s real ident.i.ty was the descendent of the rear mountain of the Sword Hut and decided to suck up to him?

In fact, Sun Zhongyang wanted to befriend Lu Shu because based on the Sound of Dao from the cry of the sword throughout the heaven and earth, Sound of Dao felt that apart from the rear mountain of the Sword Hut, n.o.body could call for such a ma.s.sive phenomenon!

In the Luniverse, the Sword Hut had the say to what the swordplay looked like!

At this moment, even Mo Xiaoya thought that Lu Shu had came from the rear mountain of the Sword Hut. Therefore, everyone’s att.i.tude towards Lu Shu had changed.

Mo Xiaoya was still unhappy with Lu Shu. However, he was already a Rank One expert.

Although their safety was ensured, everyone could not accept it. In the past, everyone thought that the young man was an ordinary person. However, after some interaction, everyone started to feel less and less happy about him.

They even thought that he could be from the rear mountain of the Sword Hut and therefore spoke to him with a friendlier tone… After all, it was the Sword Hut!

No matter how rich one was, one would not dare to oppose the Sword Hut.

The trade caravan continued moving. The trade caravan was acting even stranger. The children of the rich tyc.o.o.ns were rus.h.i.+ng to enter the city and Lu Xiaoyu was trying to travel as quickly as possible. Meanwhile, Lu Shu was training in the carriage while Yi Qian was sitting on the top of the carriage…

Sun Zhongyang and the rest looked at Lu Shu’s carriage before looking at themselves. It was a completely different treatment.

Initially, everyone was almost done recuperating. However, after the disruption caused by Lu Shu’s rise, they had returned to what they were like before they were freed. They wasted their efforts recuperating… They felt angrier as they thought about it!

At this moment, two black shadows flew from the sky. Mo Xiaoya looked up into the sky and heaved a sigh of relief. “The expert of the family has arrived. He must have rushed over with all his might and reached earlier as expected.”

The expert of the Mo family had arrived. That implied that they were confirmed to be safe.

Sun Zhongyang smiled. “I can finally heave a sigh of relief. After reaching the palace, I will treat everyone to a good meal. The story about us fighting against the slaves is something worth mentioning at school.”

To Sun Zhongyang and the rest, there were too many sissies at school. There were many lazy gilded youths who admired those with capabilities. The slaves who Sun Zhongyang and the rest killed were famous people. They could brag about it until they graduated from school!

However, at this moment, the expert of the Mo family who had arrived smiled in front of them. “Xiaoya, Zhongyang, I told you two not to leave the palace. Now that you have learnt your lessons, what do you feel?”

Before Sun Zhongyang and Mo Xiaoya could speak, another person said in confusion, “Wasn’t the battle two days ago, why do you guys look like you have just been injured…”

Sun Zhongyang and the rest were speechless for a long while. How should they answer that! They were embarra.s.sed to admit that they had been accidentally injured by the Sound of Dao. It was extremely embarra.s.sing!

The Sound of Dao of Le Yulu had to be reported to their family. However, Sun Zhongyang and the rest would definitely not admit that their injuries were related to the Sound of Dao…
