"Are you still in need of escort services?"
Lu Fan spoke again, "I want to earn some silver!"
"If you want to escort, of course you can!"
Lin Miaoke nodded slightly, "But it also depends on your skills. If you are agile, you can earn more silver!"
"What if my strength is even greater than his?"
Lu Fan pointed at Uncle Biao, his gaze serious.
Lin Miaoke looked surprised. She hadn't expected Lu Fan to speak like that.
"You might not know, but Uncle Biao is no ordinary person. He is the most powerful among us. Even in the entire Wulong Town, not many people are his match!"
"So that's how it is!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly, "Then, someone like him, how much does he earn in a month?"
"At least ten taels of silver!"
Lin Miaoke stated directly, "After all, a Spirit Master at the Nine-Star realm is not an ordinary expert!"
"That's quite good then!"
Lu Fan was eager to try. He owed Bai Xiaoqing ten taels of silver, and if he could earn it back, he would be much more at ease.
"I wonder what this kid's background is, to be chatting so warmly with the young lady!"
A guard spoke, "Uncle Biao, aren't you going to manage this?"
"I don't think this person is a bad person!"
Uncle Biao said, "Moreover, the young lady seems to value this person. What can I say!"
The guards were somewhat helpless and could only force a bitter smile.
Not long after, the group set off again, heading towards Wulong Town, not daring to delay even a moment.
After all, they had a delivery deadline, and any delay would affect their credibility.
After a period of travel, they soon arrived at the edge of Qingyuan Mountain. Uncle Biao finally relaxed his guard and looked towards a mountain pass ahead, "After passing through this mountain pass, we will be safe!"
"It seems Qingyuan Mountain isn't that terrifying!"
Lin Miaoke said, "Uncle Biao's words just now scared me quite a bit!"
Uncle Biao gave an awkward smile. Lin Miaoke's words were clearly blaming him, but it was understandable. Lin Miaoke was young and inexperienced, and without having gone through many things, she wouldn't believe them.
"I think we should wait a bit longer before proceeding!"
Lu Fan said, "I have a feeling that a group of people are ambushing near that mountain pass!"
"How is that possible!"
Lin Miaoke was slightly startled and looked at Lu Fan with surprise. After all, she hadn't expected Lu Fan to say such a thing.
Under normal circumstances, bandits would not ambush there, as it was an exit and the terrain was unfavorable to them.
"It should be correct!"
Lu Fan spoke again, "If you believe me, wait here. They should leave when it gets dark, and there will be no problem then."
"You have quite a big tone. On what basis should we believe you!"
Uncle Biao said coldly, "I have roamed the martial world for so many years and haven't detected any movement. How did you see it?"
"Since you don't believe me, then forget I said anything!"
Lu Fan gave an awkward smile. In fact, he hadn't intended to say anything, but just wanted to kindly remind them. However, it seemed to be unnecessary now.
"Actually, I know you don't have any bad intentions, so you don't need to worry too much!"
Lin Miaoke said, "But since Uncle Biao says there's no problem, then there shouldn't be any. After all, Uncle Biao is experienced."
"Perhaps so!"
Lu Fan remained silent. He now understood what it meant to be insignificant. No matter what he said, it would be futile.
Uncle Biao felt proud. With Lin Miaoke on his side, he was satisfied.
However, not long after, as they were about to pass through the mountain pass, shouts of killing erupted from within. It caused a sensation, and many people were stunned, not knowing what was happening.
"Not good, there are bandits!"
Uncle Biao's face turned ashen. He quickly said, "Protect the young lady and the silk!"
Everyone nodded, not daring to delay, and drew their long swords. They knew very well that these bandits were not to be trifled with.
"If you want to pass this way, leave your toll!"
A man with a scar shouted, waving a large saber, and approached Uncle Biao and the others, looking imposing and carrying a murderous aura.
"We are all just trying to make a living. Brothers, thank you for your hard work!"
Uncle Biao quickly took out a few taels of silver, "Take this money to buy wine. We are from the Lin family of Wulong Town. We hope you can be lenient!"
"You old fellow are quite good at handling things!"
The scarred man nodded slightly, "I like people who are as sensible as you. This way, we don't have to fight and can get what we want!"
"Naturally, naturally!"
Uncle Biao fawned, not daring to be careless. He knew very well that any slight mistake could lead to the loss of both people and property.
These bandits were not to be trifled with. If they were to fight, it was not something they could handle.
Lu Fan stood aside, observing silently, with no intention of making a move. He knew very well that this matter had nothing to do with him, and he didn't need to act rashly. Moreover, if he exposed his strength, it would cause dissatisfaction.
"Boss, I think this woman looks good!"
Just then, a man walked over, looked at Lin Miaoke, and seemed quite pleased.
The scarred man was slightly surprised and also looked at Lin Miaoke. He indeed found Lin Miaoke to be beautiful, a potential beauty. In the entire Baishui City, there were not many people who looked so beautiful.
"Others can go, but she must stay!"
The scarred man looked at Lin Miaoke and revealed a sinister smile.
"We are all from the same world, why make things so difficult!"
Uncle Biao said, "If that's not enough, how about I add more silver!"
"Don't you understand what I just said?"
The scarred man said coldly, "Everyone else can go, just leave her behind!"
Uncle Biao's face instantly darkened. Lin Miaoke was the young lady of the Lin family, and if anything happened to her, even he could not bear the responsibility.
"Truly disgusting!"
Lin Miaoke suddenly drew her long sword, "Don't even look at yourself. If you dare to lay a hand on me, my Lin family will surely exterminate you!"
"Oh, you have quite a temper!"
The scarred man sneered, "You have a big mouth, who do you think you are? How dare you act so presumptuously here!"
After speaking, the scarred man's eyes turned unfriendly, and he charged directly at Lin Miaoke, bringing a gust of wind with him.
"Don't be presumptuous!"
Uncle Biao's face darkened, and he quickly stepped forward to block. He did not want a tragedy to occur.
Lin Miaoke was the jewel of the Lin family, and if anything happened to her, he would not be able to account for it to the Lin family.
