The next morning, Lin Xiu walked out of his room and stretched. He felt refreshed all over his body. His first sweet dream in more than a month was really not for show. Unfortunately, such days were destined not to belong to him.
He went downstairs to the inn to eat something and looked at the sky. It was still early to the appointed time, but it was always a good thing to get to know his employer, Gao Tieguang, and the mercenaries earlier. Thinking of this, Lin Xiu walked slowly in the direction of the mercenary union.
At the entrance of the mercenary union, Lin Xiu took a look and saw a middle-aged man dressed in luxurious clothes leaning on a carriage filled with goods. There were a few men dressed as mercenaries in front of him chatting.
"Hello, are you Mr. Gao Tieguang? I am Feng Yi, a mercenary who picked you up to escort the goods. "Lin Xiu said to the middle-aged man dressed in luxurious clothes.
Hearing Lin Xiu's words, the middle-aged man raised his head and said to Lin Xiu enthusiastically, "That's right, I am Gao Tieguang. Welcome, brave young man. Don't worry, when the mission is completed, I will pay you a satisfactory commission. "
Right at this moment, another young man dressed as a mercenary ran over to Gao Tieguang. This young man had a long sword on his waist and shouted as he ran, "Mr. Gao Tieguang, fellow mercenaries, hero Jiao Huangyu is here."
Hearing Jiao Huangyu's words, Gao Tieguang and the mercenaries, including Lin Xiu, looked at the owner of the fierce voice with black lines on their faces. Everyone muttered in their hearts, this child looked gentle and quiet, but they didn't expect him to be so coquettish.
Without waiting for everyone to come back to their senses, Jiao Huangyu appeared in front of them in a flash.
"Brothers, let me introduce myself first. I am Jiao Huangyu, Jiao as in crispy inside, Huang as in very yellow and very violent, Xuan Huang as in heaven and earth, and Yu as in the universe."
"This hero has roamed the world alone since young and my cultivation is earth-shattering. With this hero joining us, the delivery is guaranteed to arrive safely. Even if there are some blind thieves, as long as they see this hero, they will immediately piss in their pants. Haha, this hero is really … "
Not waiting for Jiao Huangyu to finish his introduction, Mr. Gao Tiao hurriedly interrupted him. He was a little worried. If they continued to listen to Jiao Huangyu's bullsh * t, who knew if these mercenaries would just throw in the towel and leave. This guy was really asking for a beating.
Lin Xiu smacked his lips and was completely speechless about this little fish teammate called Jiao Huangyu. That's right, in Lin Xiu's opinion, Jiao Huangyu had already become Jiao Huangyu. The reason was very simple. It was just that this guy was too despicable and arrogant. If not for the fact that they were teammates and in a different location, Lin Xiu believed that he would definitely teach this burnt little fish a lesson.
After Jiao Huangyu calmed down, a few more mercenaries gathered at the high-speed rail. Finally, all fifteen mercenaries were present. Everyone let out a long sigh of relief. Why? The answer was extremely simple as well. Jiao Huangyu once again started to brag about his glorious deeds of roaming the world alone for over a decade. Now that everyone was present, it would undoubtedly be able to make this gossipy fellow stop for a while.
The fifteen mercenaries introduced themselves.
"Wang Feng, early stage of the Human Yuan Realm, weapon: long sword."
"Li Ming, early stage of the Human Yuan Realm, weapon: broadsword."
"Zhang Heng, middle stage of the Human Yuan Realm, no weapon."
"Cai Delu, middle stage of the Human Yuan Realm, weapon: iron claw."
"Wang Zhangshui, late stage of the Human Yuan Realm, weapon: long sword."
.....
When the group of mercenaries heard that there was actually an expert at the peak of the Human Yuan Realm with them, their hearts calmed down a lot. After all, although mercenaries lived a bloody life all year round.
However, everyone wanted their own safety to be guaranteed. Obviously, an expert at the peak of the Human Yuan Realm gave them a lot of confidence. The peak of the Human Yuan Realm was far stronger than the middle stage of the Human Yuan Realm. Although there was only a difference of one level, the peak of the Human Yuan Realm was an existence that could break through to the Earth Yuan Realm. Once one reached the Earth Yuan Realm, he could barely be considered an expert in the entire continent. As for the Human Yuan Realm? Ah, sorry, the cultivators in the Immortal Martial Continent were mostly in the Human Yuan Realm.
Lin Xiu looked at Jiao Huangyu and realized that after listening to the group of mercenaries' self-introductions, Jiao Huangyu was no longer laughing and joking. Instead, he was frowning and his eyes were filled with uncertainty.
Lin Xiu retracted his gaze and began to introduce himself.
"Feng Yi, middle stage of the Human Yuan Realm, no weapon."
Hearing Lin Xiu's strength, the group was not disappointed. In their opinion, with four mercenaries at the peak of the Human Yuan Realm, this mission would definitely be a piece of cake.
The mercenaries who hadn't introduced themselves quickly introduced their own strength and weapons. When it was Jiao Huangyu's turn, unexpectedly, Jiao Huangyu did not brag about his strength and introduced himself calmly.
"Jiao Huangyu, peak of the Human Yuan Realm, weapon: short blade."
After another ten minutes, the mercenaries finally finished introducing themselves. Gao Tiao was very excited. He did not think that he would be able to hire so many experts this time. He would definitely be able to earn a lot when he returned. Thinking about this, Gao Tiao could not help but blush and said to the mercenaries in a friendly manner, "If everyone is ready, the convoy will be on the road. Don't worry, when we return to the royal capital, we will definitely give everyone a satisfactory price."
The mercenaries knew that the commission had increased. Even though they knew that Gao Tiao was expressing his goodwill to the peak of the Human Yuan Realm, they could still benefit from it, right? All of them smiled and chatted with Gao Tiao.
Just like that, with Gao Tiao's caravan, Lin Xiu and the group left Luo Yun City and headed west.
A group of people followed the caravan and headed towards the royal capital of the Cloud Immortal Dynasty, Cloud Immortal City.
The mercenaries were all riding on horses and were divided into three groups. Each group was composed of merfolk and guarded the caravan at the front, middle, and back. Unfortunately, Lin Xiu and Jiao Huangyu happened to be in the same group. Jiao Yun, Jiao Yu, and Wang Feng were with them.
"Brother Feng Yi, our ages don't seem to be much different. I just turned 20 this year, what do you think? Brother's cultivation talent is very strong, right? It's not that I'm bragging, but even in the entire Immortal Yuan Continent, geniuses like me are absolutely rare. " After leaving the city, Jiao Huangyu immediately returned to his usual self and chattered to Lin Xiu.
Ugh, Lin Xiu ignored this person's incessant chatter. He only occasionally replied with "en" and "oh"! Jiao Huangyu gritted his teeth when he heard that. He didn't talk to Lin Xiu anymore. He talked to Wang Feng for a while but got the same result. For some reason, he didn't talk to Jiao Yun and Jiao Yu. In the end, Jiao Huangyu could only helplessly talk to himself, repeating his glorious deeds to himself over and over again!
Suddenly, the convoy in front stopped. Lin Xiu, who was at the back of the convoy, was a little stunned. Did they encounter some trouble?
