"Yes, he is." Reminded by Mo Xiaoya, a girl recalled Lü Shu's face and found it hard to forget. "But don't think about having anything with him. Normal people are envious of the love story between a rich girl and a poor boy, but it's silly for a rich girl to be envious of something like this. Don't you know how many incidents like this have happened in the city these years? Have you forgotten what happened last year? A scholar who only studied poetry and poetry for two or three days tricked a girl from the Lin Family. What happened in the end? The scholar was drowned in the Hidden Dragon River, and the girl was forced to marry a big noble in the Eastern State. You have to know how old that noble is, and his wives have already died a few times! "
"What are you talking about?" Mo Xiaoya rolled her eyes. "I'm just speaking the truth. Good looks are good, what does it have to do with family background?"
Actually, Mo Xiaoya did not think too much about it. The way of thinking about social class was ingrained in the long history of Lü Zhou, like the blood in people's bodies.
And they and Lü Shu were destined to be people from two different worlds. After this journey, they would not meet again. Even though Sun Zhongyang told her not to morally blackmail others from her own position, Mo Xiaoya still felt a little uncomfortable when she thought of this young man selling others out for money.
This was a matter of morality, and it had nothing to do with the other party's good looks.
Lü Shu and Lü Xiaoyu got into the car and whispered. Lü Shu said, "This can be considered stabilizing them first. Otherwise, if they find Nangeng City, they might ruin our business. Liu Yizhao and Li Heitan can't beat this group of noble kids."
"Actually, it's not impossible." Lü Xiaoyu said calmly, "They are four first rankers, but their teamwork and battle experience are too lacking compared to us. In a situation where they are unprepared, a sneak attack might be enough to take out one, and the rest will be easy. Of course, I don't think they're much of a threat. On one hand, they're still students, and they don't look like they're that vicious. On the other hand, they look like they're not very smart. They were easily tricked by you. "
Lü Shu was stunned. It turned out that Lü Xiaoyu had already thought about how to deal with these people. However, after thinking about it, Lü Shu felt that although the other party came with evil intentions, and he would definitely be beaten up badly if he were to fall into their hands, Lü Shu felt that it was quite awkward to kill them just like that.
"We can't kill them. We're going to King City. If we kill them, we'll definitely fight to the death with those rich families." Lü Shu pondered over Lü Xiaoyu's words and felt that there was something wrong with them. "I'm very good at bluffing. Nine truths and one falsehood are the most credible!"
"And then?" Lü Xiaoyu asked expressionlessly.
"I tricked him with my own abilities. How can you say that he's stupid?" Lü Shu said.
"Hehe." Lü Xiaoyu laughed coldly.
"I don't know if I'll get paid if I identify myself to them in King City …" Lü Shu said melancholically, "Why are these random enemies of mine all first rankers? What will happen when I get to King City?"
At this moment, Lü Shu imagined the scene. A sea of gamblers surrounding him to seek revenge, and they were all first rankers who could fly …
However, on second thought, Lü Shu felt that it should not be that exaggerated. After all, Zhang Weiyu had mentioned the approximate number of first rankers in the world of Lü Zhou. Therefore, these descendants of nobles should be the cream of the crop of the younger generation in King City.
"I still have to make good use of my time and cultivate steadily," Lü Shu said. "When I'm strong enough, I can ask them for payment."
Lü Xiaoyu watched as Lü Shu continued to cultivate without any hesitation and continued to nurture his sword intent. He immediately rolled his eyes. Others might think that Lü Shu was joking. After all, was it possible for him to ask for payment after bluffing them?
However, Lü Xiaoyu knew very well that this guy really intended to ask for payment. If he insisted …
However, even if these people joined the caravan, they would not have much interaction with the others. During meals, the leader would give them special treatment. When there was nothing to do, they would either gather together to chat and ignore the others, or they would be cultivating.
There was a natural hierarchy in Lü Zhou, and it was impossible for the circles to integrate with each other.
Although Lü Shu was amazed that these geniuses who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths were so hardworking, it was best for everyone to live in harmony. He was worried that the other party would keep chatting with him on the road. His image was usually not too stable, and he would slip up if he spoke too much …
However, sometimes, Lü Shu would secretly eavesdrop on the conversations of these descendants of nobles, which helped him better understand this world. For example, Sun Zhongyang said that the commander Wu Weijun was actually quite powerful …
For example, Mo Xiaoya said that the young man in the carriage behind was indeed very good-looking …
Lü Shu thought that they were right.
Of course, there was also more important information. For example, three months ago, there were already contestants participating in the Jianlu Selection who had arrived in King City, hoping to make arrangements in advance.
These were all border army elites with average family backgrounds. Without a good family background, they could only work hard on their own.
There were also descendants of nobles in King City who planned to return through the Jianlu Selection. These descendants had previously found opportunities to train in the army, and this was also for the sake of the army's Jianlu Recommendation quota.
As he listened, Lü Shu had a rough idea of the selection this time. There were a total of 47 participants, and there were usually about seven or eight Rank-1 experts, who were the cream of the crop in each army.
Therefore, it was very likely that Lü Shu's real opponents would only be seven or eight. This made Lü Shu heave a sigh of relief. He did not know if he would be able to defeat all seven or eight people in one fell swoop after breaking through Rank-1 …
Others were thinking about how to eliminate as many people as possible, but Lü Shu was more impressive. Because of the uncertainty of the second round of assessment, he wanted to eliminate everyone else …
At this moment, Sun Zhongyang suddenly looked at the carriage in which Lü Shu and the others were in, puzzled. "This pair of siblings is a little strange. Did you guys realize that, except when it's time to eat, that young man rarely appears in front of us? Do you guys think he's cultivating?"
"Cultivating?" Someone laughed. "So what? There might not even be a cultivation method in the whole of Nangeng City that can be promoted to Rank-1. What's the use of cultivating so hard?"
Sun Zhongyang smiled and shook his head, thinking that he was overthinking. To be honest, everyone felt that they would definitely be able to guard against loneliness and cultivate well before they started cultivating. However, this kind of determination became less firm after experiencing the dullness of cultivation …
The caravan stopped and walked. Originally, they were supposed to stay in every city for a day or two to resell their goods, but with Sun Zhongyang and the others, the caravan leader simply went north at full speed, only stopping for the first time when they arrived at Nangeng.
This was not because the caravan leader wanted to sell his goods, but because Sun Zhongyang and the others wanted to go shopping in Nangeng. They had heard that there was a slave market here, and the most outstanding slaves in the whole of Nanzhou would be transferred here to be sold. Sun Zhongyang and the others were interested. There was a custom of comparing slaves in King City.
