Chapter 963: Disasters Involving Blood
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The boss of the trade caravan was extremely anxious when he saw the sparks in the sky. He was worried that Sun Zhongyang and the rest created trouble and he had to bear the consequences. He was unable to bear the consequences.
At this moment, he was slightly envious of Lu Shu. He looked at Lu Shu who sat cross-legged beside the bonfire and Lu Xiaoyu who was sitting quietly beside Lu Shu.
The battle was still ongoing. A long battle signified that both parties’ powers were on par. However, that was what the boss of the trade caravan was worried about. Three days ago, he told Sun Zhongyang that he hoped that the expert of the Sun family could takeover but Sun Zhongyang hesitated for a long while and did not agree.
There were internal strifes between aristocrats. Direct descendants definitely had a more superior position than an extended family member. Although the extended family members were always envious of the direct descendants, they did not know that the direct descendants might not lead a happy life.
The ancestors of the Sun family was still alive and the position of the head of the family was constantly eyed by people. In the Luniverse, as long as you had the capability, you would be respected regardless of seniority!
Although Sun Zhongyang did not stand a chance to get the position of the head of the family, his father was a good candidate. If he had to ask the experts in his family to help him because of a simple university experiment, he would definitely be laughed at by the others in his family.
If he was unrelated, Sun Zhongyang would definitely put himself in the safest position as possible. However, if things involving his family happened, no matter how doted upon he was, he could not stir up trouble.
Moreover, even if he managed to get the help of experts, Sun Zhongyang would not be able to confirm if the other party was there to help him. What if someone in the Sun family was a spy?
However, the situation was not as serious as he thought it would be. Mo Xiaoya had already contacted her family and Sun Zhongyang was unable to get the help of experts. Therefore, the Mo family was not worried about this.
Perhaps, the experts of the Mo family was already on their way and it was a matter of time before they arrived.
Suddenly, the boss of the trade caravan looked surprised. He realized that when Lu Shu was unintentionally moving his sword, the bonfire was being moved too.
The flickering of the flames of the bonfire was evidently faster. Moreover, the boss of the trade caravan saw a transparent sword in the fire and it had immense energy!
Although the boss of the trade caravan had the powers equivalent to that of a Rank Two, he did not push himself in this battle as he knew that he was capable but could not fight well.
This was like playing a game. Although they were in the same rank, Sun Zhongyang specialized in battles while the boss of the trade caravan specialized in a career that made him a living…
Sun Zhongyang and the rest had to sharpen their skills in terms of battles while the boss of the trade caravan was busy earning money. Although this seemed extremely ordinary and relaxed in the Luniverse, everything was no longer limited to battles now.
The bonfire was still flickering and the boss of the trade caravan was impressed by how Lu Shu still had the mood to train. He felt that Lu Shu was an extraordinary teenager but could not state specifically the reason why.
Moreover, he also realized that Xu Mujun was also protecting Lu Shu like Lu Xiaoyu, as though she was afraid that someone would come over and attack Lu Shu.
The boss of the trade caravan went from the South to the North and initially had no time to care about Lu Shu because he wanted to deal with Sun Zhongyang. However, he suddenly realized that something was amiss. Based on the expression that his opponent gave when he left, he could tell that the lady was almost an expert too by her expressions.
Good-looking, talented, and an expert. Why did she suddenly eye up Lu Shu? There must be a limit no matter what…
Therefore, the boss of the trade caravan was thinking, if his speculation was accurate and Xu Mujun was actually appointed so that she could get close to Lu Shu and protect him, then what would be the background of this individual so as to make Xu Mujun take such actions?
Which aristocrat? Or… Or was it someone whom he could not imagine?
Suddenly, the sounds of footsteps were heard. The boss of the trade caravan was suddenly alert. The group of slaves brought people over, this meant that they did not want to let anyone off.
“19 people,” said the a.s.sistant of the boss of the trade caravan as he placed his ear on the ground, “I can’t figure out his capability from this.”
The boss of the trade caravan looked at Lu Shu. He was not good at battles. His slaves could still manage to fight against some bandits but were unable to fight against the attackers. Therefore, he placed his hopes on Lu Shu and Xu Mujun.
The boss of the trade caravan did not put any hopes on Lu Xiaoyu at all because he thought that with Lu Xiaoyu’s tender age, even if she was a genius of the palace, she would not be too powerful.
However, Lu Shu simply sat cross-legged and nurtured his sword energy. He did not have the intention to move at all.
At this moment, Xu Mujun said quietly to Lu Xiaoyu and Lu Shu, “Should I go?”
The boss of the trade caravan saw Lu Xiaoyu smile as she replied to Xu Mujun, “No, you don’t have to.”
Suddenly, a loud boom was heard from the direction of the footsteps. It felt as though the ground cracked open and the sky was collapsing.
Along with the cracking sounds came the cries and shouts of the killers. Almost instantly, the mood changed completely.
At the next instant, the a.s.sistant of the boss of the trade caravan suddenly raised his head. “G.o.d knows why after the explosion, all the footsteps disappeared and it seemed that everyone had died!”
Everyone in the trade caravan was shocked. n.o.body had moved. Who killed the attackers?! Someone ended the battle just as they were panicking? Could it be that an expert hiding nearby had attacked?
The boss of the trade caravan looked at Lu Xiaoyu and frowned. The little girl did not attack but she evidently knew that someone was going to attack.
He could not understand who exactly were the young man and the little girl. Were there experts protecting them?
Strange, it was too strange!
The boss of the trade caravan could not help but to start imagining things. At this moment, Lu Shu spoke in a calm manner, “Boss, do you need protection? If you are willing to pay, I can a.s.sure you that you will not be hurt until you reach the palace…”
The boss of the trade caravan was speechless. If the young man had a terrifying background, why would he be so f*cking greedy?!
Lu Shu kept silent and said again, “Judging from your looks, you will undergo a disaster involving blood1 in these few days…”
The boss of the trade caravan said, “… In order to earn money, you are resorting to bluffing people?”
“From Song Bo’s distress, +666!”
Lu Shu shook his head. “I am not bluffing you… I am threatening you…”
The boss of the trade caravan was speechless.
“From Song Bo’s…”
Xu Mujun sat quietly at the side while cupping her chin. She suddenly felt that not only was the young man good looking but he was also rather amusing.
At least more amusing than the other men she had met.
