"Are you still in need of escorts?"
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 skill. 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 eyes serious.
Lin Miaoke looked surprised. She hadn't expected Lu Fan to speak like that.
"You might not know, Uncle Biao is no ordinary person. He is the most skilled among us all. Even in the entire Wulong Town, not many people can match him!"
"So that's how it is!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly, "Then for someone like him, how much do they earn per month?"
"At least ten taels of silver!"
Lin Miaoke said directly, "After all, a Spirit Master Nine-star expert is not an ordinary master!"
"That's quite good!"
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 where this kid came from, to be chatting so warmly with Miss!"
A guard spoke, "Uncle Biao, aren't you going to do something about it!"
"I don't think this person is a bad guy!"
Uncle Biao said, "Besides, Miss seems to value him greatly. What can I say!"
The guards looked helpless and could only force a bitter smile.
Not long after, the group set off again, heading towards Wulong Town, not daring to delay at all.
After all, they had a delivery time, and any delay would affect their credibility.
After some travel, they soon arrived at the edge of Qingyuan Mountain. Uncle Biao finally let down his guard and looked towards a mountain pass ahead, "After passing through this mountain pass, we will be safe!"
"It seems this Qingyuan Mountain is not that terrifying!"
Lin Miaoke said, "Uncle Biao's words just now really scared me!"
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 naturally wouldn't believe many things she hadn't experienced.
"I think we should wait a while longer before leaving!"
Lu Fan said, "I feel like there's a group of people 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, then wait here. After dark, they should leave, and there will be no problem then."
"Your tone is quite audacious. On what basis should we believe you!"
Uncle Biao said coldly, "I've been in the martial world for so many years and haven't noticed anything. 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, he just wanted to kindly remind them, but now it seemed unnecessary.
"Actually, I know you don't have any ill 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 did not speak. He now understood what it meant to have little influence despite one's words. No matter what he said now, it would be useless.
Uncle Biao looked proud. With Lin Miaoke on his side, he was satisfied.
However, not long after, as they were about to pass the mountain pass, the sound of shouting and killing erupted from within the pass, causing a commotion. Many people were stunned by what they saw, not knowing what was happening.
"Not good, bandits!"
Uncle Biao's face turned ashen. He quickly said, "Protect Miss 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 on his face waved a large saber and approached Uncle Biao and the others, looking imposing and radiating killing intent.
"We are all just trying to make a living. Brothers, you have worked hard!"
Uncle Biao quickly took out a few taels of silver, "Take this money and buy some wine. We are from the Lin family of Wulong Town. We hope you can show some leniency!"
"You old fellow are quite good at making things right!"
The scarred man nodded slightly, "I like people like you who are sensible. This way, we don't have to fight and can still get what we want!"
"That is natural, that is natural!"
Uncle Biao fawned, not daring to be careless. He knew very well that any slight mistake could lead to losing both people and property.
These bandits were not to be trifled with. If they actually fought, they would not be able to cope.
Lu Fan stood aside and watched silently, not intending to act. After all, he knew very well that this matter did not concern him, and he didn't need to act rashly. Moreover, if he revealed his strength, it would cause dissatisfaction.
"Boss, I think this woman looks good!"
Just then, a man walked over and looked at Lin Miaoke, appearing quite satisfied.
The scarred man was slightly surprised and looked at Lin Miaoke. Indeed, he found Lin Miaoke to be quite beautiful, a budding beauty. In the entire Baishui City, it was rare to find someone so beautiful.
"Others can leave, she must stay!"
The scarred man looked at Lin Miaoke and a sinister smile appeared on his face.
"We are all from the same world, why make things so difficult!"
Uncle Biao said, "If that's not enough, how about I add some more silver!"
"Don't you understand what I just said?"
The scarred man said coldly, "Everyone else can leave, just leave her behind!"
Uncle Biao's face instantly turned grim. Lin Miaoke was the young lady of the Lin family. If anything happened to her, he wouldn't be able to account for it to the Lin family.
"Truly disgusting!"
Lin Miaoke suddenly drew her long sword, "Take a look at yourself. If you dare to lay a hand on me, my Lin family will surely annihilate you!"
"Oh ho, quite feisty!"
The scarred man sneered, "And you have a big mouth. What do you think you are? Daring to act so arrogantly here!"
After saying that, the scarred man's eyes turned malicious, and he charged directly at Lin Miaoke, bringing a gust of wind with him.
"How dare you be presumptuous!"
Uncle Biao's face was grim, and he quickly moved to block him. He didn't want a tragedy to happen.
Lin Miaoke was the jewel of the Lin family. If anything happened to her, he couldn't explain it to the Lin family.
