The caravan owner's eyes reddened with anxiety as he watched the distant flames blossoming in the night sky. He was worried that something might happen to Sun Zhongyang and the others, and if the Sun family came after him, he would have to bear the consequences.
At this moment, he was a little envious of Lü Shu. The caravan owner looked at Lü Shu, who was sitting cross-legged beside the bonfire, and Lü Xiaoyu was silently guarding Lü Shu's side.
The battle was still going on, and the long battle proved that the difference in strength between the two sides wasn't too big. However, this was exactly what the caravan owner was worried about. Three days ago, he told Sun Zhongyang that he wanted the Sun family's experts to come help him, but Sun Zhongyang hesitated for a long time and didn't agree.
There were internal strife within the wealthy families, and the status of the main branch was undoubtedly higher than that of the side branches. The side branches envied the main branch every day, but they didn't know that the main branch wasn't as happy as the main branch.
The Sun family's ancestor was still alive, and the position of the family head was always coveted by everyone. In Lü Zhou, there was no such thing as choosing the elders over the juniors.
Although the position of the head of the clan would not fall onto Sun Zhongyang's head, his father was a strong competitor. If he was forced by a group of slaves to call in the clan's experts to practice in the Imperial College, he might be laughed at by the other branches.
If not for this relationship, Sun Zhongyang would definitely feel that it was better to keep himself safe. However, when it came to the important matters of his branch, no matter how much the Sun family favored him, he couldn't afford to cause trouble.
Moreover, even if he brought the experts over, Sun Zhongyang couldn't be sure if they were here to help him. What if someone from the Sun family wanted to fish in troubled waters?
However, the situation wasn't as bad as he imagined because Mo Xiaoya had already contacted her family. Although Sun Zhongyang couldn't bring the experts over, the Mo family didn't have such concerns.
Perhaps the experts from the Mo family were already on the way, but it would take some time for them to arrive.
Suddenly, the caravan owner looked at Lü Shu in surprise. He realized that when Lü Shu was unintentionally cultivating his sword intent, the invisible bonfire was also ignited.
The flickering of the bonfire increased in frequency, and the caravan owner seemed to see a transparent sword in the fire, brimming with sword intent!
Even though the merchant caravan owner had the strength of a Rank-2 fighter, he didn't participate in this battle because he knew that he was only at the level of a Rank-2 fighter. His combat ability was too weak.
It was like playing a game. Although they were at the same level, Sun Zhongyang was a combat class, while the merchant team owner was a trade class.
Sun Zhongyang and the others needed to constantly hone their combat skills and battle awareness, while the caravan owner was busy making money. Lv Zhou didn't have to worry about such things. Cultivation was no longer limited to combat at this point.
The bonfire was still flickering. The caravan owner was impressed by Lü Shu's ability to remain calm and cultivate under such circumstances. He had a feeling that there was something special about this young man, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
He also noticed that Xu Mujun was secretly protecting Lü Shu, just like Lü Xiaoyu. It was as if she was afraid that Lü Shu would be hurt if someone ambushed the caravan in the middle of the night.
The caravan owner had traveled extensively, and he didn't have time to think about Lü Shu because he had to take care of Sun Zhongyang and the others. But now, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. He knew very well that there might be something wrong with this Xu Mujun. From her calm expression when she left just now, he could tell that this girl was also an expert.
She was beautiful, talented, and an expert. Why would she fall in love with Lü Shu? No matter how beautiful she was, there should be a limit …
So, the caravan owner thought that if his guess was correct, and this Xu Mujun was ordered by someone to get close to Lü Shu and even protect Lü Shu, what kind of background could this person have that could order a girl like Xu Mujun around?
Which rich family? Or … or something even more unimaginable?
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps could be heard, and the caravan owner immediately became vigilant. Sure enough, the group of high-ranking slaves had sent people over, and they didn't want to let any of them go.
"19 people," a worker beside the caravan owner said, "I can't tell how strong they are."
The caravan owner looked at Lü Shu. He wasn't good at fighting, and his slaves could fight bandits, but they couldn't even withstand a single blow from these assassins. So, he placed his hopes on Lü Shu and Xu Mujun.
At this time, the caravan owner didn't place his hopes on Lü Xiaoyu at all. In his opinion, Lü Xiaoyu couldn't be that strong at his age, even if he was a genius from King City.
However, Lü Shu was still sitting cross-legged, cultivating his sword intent, and didn't seem to have any intention of moving.
At this time, Xu Mujun said to Lü Shu and Lü Xiaoyu in a soft voice, "Let me go?"
The caravan owner saw Lü Xiaoyu smiling at Xu Mujun and said, "No need."
Suddenly, a loud explosion came from the direction where the footsteps came from. It was as if the ground was cracking and the sky was collapsing.
Following the explosion, the cries of the assassins could be heard. In just an instant, the atmosphere seemed to have completely changed.
In the next moment, the worker beside the caravan owner suddenly raised his head in shock. "I don't know why, but after that explosion, all the footsteps disappeared. It seems like everyone is dead!"
Everyone in the caravan was stunned. No one moved, so who killed those assassins?! While they were still worried, someone actually ended the battle in an instant? Could it be that someone was hiding nearby and attacked?
The caravan owner inadvertently looked at Lü Xiaoyu and frowned. It wasn't this little girl who attacked, but she clearly knew that someone was going to attack.
He couldn't figure out who this young man and this little girl were. Was there someone secretly protecting them?
Strange, this was too strange!
The caravan owner couldn't help but think that Lü Shu and Lü Xiaoyu's backgrounds were even more terrifying. At that moment, Lü Shu calmly said while cultivating his sword intent, "Boss, do you need protection? As long as you pay me, I can guarantee that nothing will happen to you until we reach Royal City …"
The caravan owner suddenly felt bitter. If this young man really had such a terrifying background, how could he still be so greedy?!
Seeing that the caravan owner was unmoved, Lü Shu thought for two seconds and said, "From your appearance, I can see that you are going to face a bloody calamity soon …"
The caravan owner: "… Are you trying to trick people just to earn money?"
"You have successfully trolled Song Bo's negative emotions, + 666!"
Lü Shu shook his head. "I'm not trying to trick you … I'm clearly threatening you …"
Song Bo was speechless.
"Song Bo's …"
Xu Mujun sat quietly beside him with her hands supporting her chin. She suddenly felt that this young man was not only good-looking, but also quite interesting.
At least, he was more interesting than the men she had met before.
