When he returned to the game, the first person to speak up was not Happy, but Xu Lang.
When he logged in, he saw the five people chatting with each other in a circle. When Xu Lang saw Happy, he ran over eagerly.
"Senior Brother Happy!
Did you hear about the news online? "
"What?"
Happy pretended not to know.
"That's right. As long as we lose the tribute, we can chase after and steal the tributes from other sects. We discussed it just now. After all, the journey is long, and the rewards aren't great. It's better if we throw it away and search for a chance to snatch it from other players. I heard that once the emperor's birthday passes, the tributes will belong to us players! Many players are doing this now. "
Xu Lang's eyes sparkled. He could not describe his excitement and enthusiasm.
"What do you think?"
Happy swept his gaze over the other four.
The four looked at each other and nodded. Eleventh Crane spoke up.
"I think that this is the general trend. Sooner or later, someone will target us, and the road ahead will be more and more difficult. Instead of being passive, it's better to be straightforward. We'll throw away the escorts in the next wave, and then we'll find a place to cultivate. When the Emperor's birthday is near, we'll appear again and search for people with tributes!"
Happy nodded in his heart.
At the very least, Eleventh Crane did not have the intention to get involved in the mess blindly. This alone meant that even if he did not get any tributes later on, his rewards would still be greater than most of the players who were dragged into the mess!
When he thought of this, Happy nodded and immediately agreed to it.
"Eldest senior brother, you agreed to it? That's great! "Orchid Researcher did not hide the joy on her face." Then, will the next group of people benefit from this batch of tributes? "
"Yes. Regardless of whether they are players or mountain bandits, hand them over." Once he finished speaking, Ghost's Worry cast a glance at the four armed escorts near the carriage, and a hint of pity flashed in his eyes.
If we run, they will run as well, "Xu Lang comforted them.
He had already investigated the situation, and all armed escorts followed the will of the players. If the players fought with their lives on the line, they would definitely fight with their lives on the line. If everyone ran away, they would lose the meaning of continuing their performance.
It was only then that the group felt completely at ease.
…
Outside Yangzhou City, Yun Zhong Village.
In an open space filled with smoke and dust, a young man wearing a Taoist robe and a black sheathed longsword hung from his waist. He had a big bald head and his hands were sloppily tucked into his belt. He was walking among dozens of corpses, chewing on a green foxtail grass from time to time. Occasionally, he would lift his eyelids and kick the corpses to see if he had missed any spoils of war.
Such a strange image that was neither monk nor Taoist, neither vulgar nor elegant was all concentrated on one person. Surprisingly, it didn't seem out of place at all. Instead, there was a trace of strange harmony and wonder.
"So poor."
After the young man turned around, he spat out the thing that had been chewed into a ball in disdain. He smacked his bitter and tasteless lips and muttered, "… No wonder you always go out to rob people."
Just as he finished speaking, the sound of light and unhurried footsteps came from behind.
Frowning, the young man turned around.
"How was it? What did you get?"
The newcomer was a woman dressed in a fiery red gown. She had a pretty face and a crisp voice. Her eyes seemed to contain boundless spiritual energy, making people feel refreshed.
The young man turned a blind eye to her. He cast a glance at the woman in the gown and sighed.
"Don't even talk about it. This village has suffered a disaster as well. Before we came, it was destroyed, and only a few soldiers were left. What about you? How many batches of goods did you manage to rob? "
"None."
The way the woman in the gown walked with her catwalk was incredibly alluring. When she heard the young man's words, she spread her arms.
"I did as you said. I gave away the few batches of goods I robbed."
"Smart."
When the young man heard this, he finally cast the woman in the gown a glance, and a faint smile appeared on his lips. "Everyone says that my sister is very smart, but I've never thought that over the years. Today, you've finally done something that a smart person would do."
"Enough, I know that you're smart, alright? Tsk … Is there anyone who acts like an elder brother? You only know how to make fun of your sister. " The woman in the gown rolled her eyes at the person in front of her indignantly. She turned to the side and said in a huff, "I have news about that Gate Realm player you asked me to pay attention to."
"Oh?"
When the young man heard this, he looked up.
"They're already in Yangzhou?"
The woman in the gown became even angrier. She glared at Zhou Yu with her almond-shaped eyes.
"Hey, bro! Why does it seem like all of your opponents are more important than your sister? How can you be like this? I've been running errands outside for so long to gather information for you, and you don't even say a word of comfort or care for me? "
"Comfort? Are you injured? " The young man named Zhou Yu had a baffled and exaggerated expression on his face. "Hey, sis, you don't have to care for me, right? How many people in World of Martial Arts can make you stay? I'm just trusting my sister. It'll be good if I can make you stay, or else, you won't be able to get married. "The last sentence was said in a very soft whisper.
"What did you say?"
The woman in the gown glared at him again. Her hearing was very sharp.
"I said that I trust you. There's no one in the world who can make you stay. By the way, you said that the boy has already entered Yangzhou? You didn't attack to test his strength, did you? "
Zhou Yu changed the topic.
'Old tricks!'
The woman in the gown snorted softly, but she did not hesitate to answer.
"He did come, but it's not a big deal. There were only a few Blessed Realm players who joined the offline martial arts tournament, and they were very weak. I really don't understand why a player in Gate Realm would care so much about him."
"Don't try to provoke me with words. If you really think that he's nothing, you would have attacked a long time ago and taken him down. Why would you wait until now?" Zhou Yu stared at his sister with a smile.
"If you really attacked, as your older brother, I will definitely show some concern for you."
"Hmph."
The woman in the gown snorted in disdain and said disdainfully, "Him?"
Zhou Yu fell silent and did not say anything else.
When the woman in the gown saw that her older brother did not speak, she instantly found the situation much more boring. A thought appeared in her head.
"They'll be here soon. Brother, the clan quest this time is to snatch the tribute from the Murong Clan. Will you attack later?" Once she finished speaking, she stared at Zhou Yu with an expectant look.
He brought out a green foxtail as if he was performing a magic trick and placed it in his mouth. He chewed on it and spoke in a frivolous manner.
"Didn't you already know?"
"How would I know what's going on in your head?"
The woman in the gown turned her head to the side in a fit of pique, but her ears perked up.
Zhou Yu shook his head and sighed in resignation.
"I'm in the middle stage of Blessed Realm, and I have a high-tier martial art with nine realms, a Grandmaster Realm Body Movement Technique, and a Grandmaster Realm Body Fortification Technique. Even if I win against a Gate Realm newbie, it won't be glorious."
"Then why did you come here?"
The woman in the gown's tone was filled with disappointment.
Originally, the offline martial arts tournament had annoyed her. The champion had been snatched away by a brat in Gate Realm, and she regarded him with extreme disdain. She had hoped that her older brother would kill him so that she could upload a battle replay to destroy that brat's might, but by the looks of it, her older brother did not have that thought.
Zhou Yu stopped chewing on the green foxtail, and a mysterious smile appeared on his slightly stubbled face.
"This place is quiet enough."
