Imparting My Cultivation To Beasts Gets Me 10,000X In Return! Chapter 378 – Crisis    

Dinner time.

Luo Ningyu stayed in the carriage and did not go out. The servant girl prepared the food and carefully sent it in.

Ever since the convoy drove, Luo Ningyu had not come out. This made Lin Bai somewhat suspicious, but he did not pay too much attention to it.

He still had the three “Bodyguards” hired by Luo Ningyu, and Rong Ziyi. He sat in the front half of the convoy and ate a relatively abundant dinner.

As for the rest of the convoy, they were eating a big pot of rice in the middle of the convoy.

Lin Bai and the others exchanged a few pleasantries as a form of self-introduction.

Excluding Qi Long, whom Lin Bai already knew, the white-haired old man was called Ren Mu, and the middle-aged man dressed as a scholar was called Wu Su.

The white-haired old man, Ren Mu, seemed to have a bland personality. However, when he opened his mouth, his words were no less than that frivolous Qi Long.

Wu Su, who was dressed like a scholar, had a gloomy expression on his face. He deliberately kept a distance from Lin Bai and the other three. After eating, he closed his eyes and did not say anything unnecessary.

Ren Mu gulped down two mouthfuls of wine and wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve. His eyes were shining as he looked at Lin Bai and the other two and asked,

“Do you think it's dangerous for us to come here? I heard that a group of officials have entered recently, but there's still no news of them.”

Qi Long chuckled. “Heh… Old man Ren, you're not afraid now, are you?”

Ren Mu didn't even blush when Qi Long ridiculed him. He said disdainfully, “My life is so f * cking good, so what if I'm afraid? What's the point of losing face!”

If he was younger, Ren Mu definitely wouldn't have said such things. Perhaps he would have been ashamed and fought Qi Long out of embarrassment when he heard Qi Long's words.

However, the longer he lived, the more Ren Mu wondered the reason he cultivated day and night. It was because he wanted to be able to stand out and look down on all living things. It was because he wanted to have the hope to walk on that path one day and step onto the other shore.

And if he had lost his life before he had even seen a single trace of that scenery, then what was the reason for him to live his entire life?

Thus, Ren Mu firmly believed that the world was bigger than him, and his life was the most important!

This time, he was blinded by Luo Ningyu's promised reward, so he decided to take the risk and agree to it.

But the more he understood the situation, the more he felt apprehensive in his heart.

Fortunately, he saw the other bodyguards that Luo Ningyu had found today, so he was more or less relieved. Otherwise, he would have just shamelessly turned around and left. As for the business with Luo Ningyu, he would have directly thrown it to the back of his mind.

Rong Ziyi held a wine glass in his hand and quietly listened to the conversation of the few of them.

After all, he was Luo Ningyu's person. He had to pay attention to every aspect when he spoke. If he did not want to say anything wrong, then the best choice was not to say anything. Therefore, Rong Ziyi chose to keep his mouth shut.

“There…” Qi Long put down the glass in his hand. “With the three of us and young master Lin, even if we can't win, it shouldn't be a problem for us to escape.”

Qi Long had a general approximation of their cultivation levels.

The silent scholar's cultivation level was about the same as his. Rong Ziyi's cultivation was about the same as Ren Mu's. As for Lin Bai beside him and Luo Ningyu in the carriage, he couldn't tell…

“Hey! Didn't you look down on me for being afraid? Why are you thinking of escaping now?”

Ren Mu laughed and picked up the golden rabbit meat that had been roasted. He stuffed it into his mouth and tore off a large piece of meat.

“Who would complain about having too much life?”

“Hahaha! You brat, you have my taste!”

Ren Mu laughed loudly, attracting many people's sidelong glances. However, he did not care at all.

“Hmph!”

At this moment.

Wu Su, who had not spoken much all this while, snorted coldly and opened his eyes.

“That place isn't a place to play. Do you know who the official family sent this time?”

“Who?” Ren Mu and Qi Long stopped and asked curiously.

Even Lin Bai and Rong Ziyi were curious.

“In the Luo family in the city, there was a sword master who used to be in Yong City…”

Wu Su said coldly. He was interrupted by Qi Long:

“He was once in Yong City. He set up an arena and specialized in finding people to compete in swordsmanship. He won more than 30 matches in a row. In the end, he was defeated by Song Qingshu of the Song family in Yong City!”

“Could it be that even Luo Shu went there and didn't come back?!”

Qi Long's eyes were shining as he said this.

Wu Su nodded and said coldly, “So, don't underestimate that place. If you underestimate it… you might not even know how you died.”

Qi Long and Ren Mu's relaxed expressions turned serious.

Rong Ziyi laughed dryly. “It's a pity that there's only one Luo Shu in that group, but we're different. We still have each other's back, right?”

Qi Long and Ren Mu glanced at Rong Ziyi but didn't say anything.

They knew that Rong Ziyi was Luo Ningyu's subordinate, so how could they not know the purpose of his words? Naturally, they did not reply to his words, which brightened their mood.

Lin Bai shook his head silently. He could not help but find it funny.

Rong Ziyi, Rong Ziyi… It seems that you don't know how to speak!

Rong Ziyi's best choice was either not to speak or to be disdainful. This method was the worst option!

Fortunately, Qi Long and Ren Mu were both salivating over Luo Ningyu's reward and did not reveal any other intentions.

Since they had to leave early the next day, most of the people in the convoy found a warm place after dinner. They simply covered themselves with their bunks and went to sleep.

There were about ten people in the convoy who were acting as guards. They were divided into two groups and took turns to watch the night.

After Wu Su finished speaking, Lin Bai and the others also fell silent.

“Then, I'll go back first!”

Ren Mu wiped his hands, turned around and walked into the carriage.

“See you tomorrow, old man Ren. Don't let me not see you tomorrow morning!” Qi Long also stood up and walked into his own carriage.

“F * ck you. I think you're the one who won't be seen tomorrow morning!”

After Ren Mu and Qi Long left, Rong Ziyi also stood up and left silently.

The night gradually quieted down. The cold wind blew slowly, blowing the flames and rustling the leaves.

Lin Bai sat at the side of the bonfire, warming himself up with the fire. At the same time, he paid attention to the situation of the convoy.

Wu Su remained seated at the same spot, resting with his eyes closed. He did not make a sound.

The lights in Luo Ningyu's carriage dimmed. He must have fallen asleep, and the lights of Qi Long and Ren Mu, who had long said that they were tired, were still on…

Rong Ziyi was patrolling the situation of the convoy and instructing the guards.

Suddenly!

Lin Bai's body shook and Wu Su opened his eyes!

The two of them looked at each other and nodded slightly, becoming the same as before.

Lin Bai continued to enjoy the fire and scrutinize the convoy while Wu Su continued to close his eyes.

However, the two of them magnified their five senses and spiritual sense and listened carefully to their surroundings, even the slightest sound.

Because they had just felt, in the darkness outside the convoy, an unfriendly gaze.
