Gurgle gurgle——
The caravan continued on its journey.
The Guangxuan Escort Agency was still very reliable.
On the route from Bafang City to the Central Plains, they hadn't been affected much by the chaos, and there weren't many brigands.
Even if there were, they wouldn't be very strong.
The forces they encountered were mostly powerful local forces.
Most of these forces could be passed with so silver taels, without much danger.
If it hadn't been for Lei Chuangcheng and the two others, relying on their strength and refusing to pay fifty taels of toll, there wouldn't have been any incident.
After Lei Chuangcheng woke up, he was full of regret.
Because of their arrogance, wanting to save fifty taels of silver, they ended up being robbed of all their silver and valuables.
It was a classic case of picking up sesa seeds and losing a waterlon.
"Damn it!"
Lei Chuangcheng clenched his fist and pounded the carriage hard, punching a hole right through it.
Luckily, being cautious, they had divided their valuables and hidden them in different places.
However, the items in their carried bags were the most valuable, and with the bags lost, they lost nearly seventy percent of their savings.
The three of them were feeling very uncomfortable.
They cast a glance at the other five people, and so crooked thoughts arose in their minds.
"Mom!"
Liang Yunhui tugged on Liang Yuhan's clothes, looking a bit nervous.
She had been secretly observing Lei Chuangcheng and the two others, curious about their Combined Attack Skill.
Unexpectedly, she accidentally caught a glimpse of their malicious gazes.
"Don't worry, everything's fine."
Liang Yuhan comforted her.
She pondered for a mont, gritted her teeth, and made up her mind.
Six hundred taels of silver wasn't a small sum to her; it was enough to buy sixty servings of Blood-Nourishing and Bone-Strengthening Soup.
Together, they amounted to a total of twelve hundred taels.
Even for a Martial Artist at the Qi Blood Realm, it would take considerable ti to save up such an amount.
Only Lin Zheyu, whose strength far exceeded his realm, could quickly accumulate silver taels through hunting, with Xiaohei's help.
Others didn't have this ability.
"Mr. Zhao, we're joining the Guangxuan Escort Agency team; do you want to join us?" Liang Yuhan asked.
Her voice was sowhat cold, her tone very calm, which was just her natural temperant.
"Alright, I'll join too."
Lin Zheyu mused for a mont before responding.
He saw that Lai Chang and Lai Mao were already communicating with the people from the Guangxuan Escort Agency, presumably wanting to join their team for protection as well.
This experience had made the Lai Brothers feel a bit of danger.
Now that even Liang Yunhui and her mother had decided to make up the remaining six hundred taels of silver to join the Guangxuan Escort Agency team for their protection,
Lin Zheyu, if he continued to remain independent, would seem sowhat eccentric.
With the remaining six hundred taels of silver made up, only Lei Chuangcheng and his two companions followed alone behind the Guangxuan Escort Agency.
After so discussion, they gritted their teeth and made up the two hundred taels of silver as well.
The people from the Guangxuan Escort Agency weren't particularly surprised.
Every ti, there were self-proclaid powerful individuals who thought they could rely on their strength to solve all problems.
After encountering several dangers, they would have a clear understanding of their own abilities, then make up the silver and join the Guangxuan Escort Agency team.
Only a few truly powerful individuals could safely follow from behind all the way to the Central Plains Region.
Ti passed slowly.
The rest of the journey went without incident.
Aside from a few encounters with brigands, where the Guangxuan Escort Agency lost so manpower, there were no major conflicts.
The Guangxuan Escort Agency made several trips a year to the Central Plains, and they were familiar with almost all the forces they encountered along the way.
Except for certain forces, like Giant Python Village, which required caution, most could be passed with a toll.
As for Giant Python Village, it was mainly because the second-in-command practiced a style of pure slaughter; his Spirit was affected by this, making him sowhat unstable.
He could easily be provoked into rage, leading to a massacre.
Sotis, if he was in a bad mood, you wouldn't even get a chance to pay the toll before he charged at you.
Every ti the Guangxuan Escort Agency passed by Giant Python Village, they had to handle it carefully, fearing that the second-in-command might go mad.
Luckily, nothing unexpected happened this ti.
...
...
In the blink of an eye, two months had passed.
Winter had turned to spring.
The weather had beco much warr.
Lin Zheyu still put on his heavy armor every four days to enter the mountains and push his limits, accumulating Source Power.
With past lessons in mind, he no longer dared to use Source Power to enhance the Blood Boiling Secret Skill, instead saving it all up.
As long as he didn't overextend his Spirit, even if he drained his body, he could quickly use Source Power to restore his body to Peak condition if danger arose.
Late at night.
The stars were sparse, with the moon shining bright.
The bright moonlight cast a layer of silver sand over the land.
The bonfire flickered in the breeze.
Xiaohei squatted by the fire happily roasting at.
The little creature's life's greatest joy seed to be eating and sleeping.
By the bonfire, Liang Yunhui held her longsword, practicing tirelessly under her mother's guidance.
With the twelve hundred taels of silver paid, they were under the protection of the Guangxuan Escort Agency, giving Liang Yuhan a much-needed break at night.
All along the journey, apart from the six hundred taels they had paid earlier, Lin Zheyu and others had also paid nearly a thousand in toll fees.
Lei Chuangcheng and his two companions looked gloomy.
Most of their savings had been robbed, and they had to sell goods to gather the toll fees.
"Damn it, I can only look and not touch, it's so frustrating."
Lai Chang's eyes wandered back and forth on Liang Yunhui and Liang Yuhan, feeling extrely frustrated.
They were all under the protection of the Guangxuan Escort Agency now, and making a move would have serious consequences.
