2981 Unconscientious
When they heard this, they talked no more of it. At the time, Leng Hua told them, but they didn’t believe him! How could someone as strong as their master lose to an elderly man?
That’s why they wanted to give it a try, but who would have thought the elderly man would start hitting their faces? Who was to blame? They had only themselves to blame.
Several of them ate their dry rations in silence. At this point, a middle-aged man sitting among them and resting motioned to an elderly man, who stood up, walked in front of Du Fan, and asked, “Please, please may I ask, how much longer do we rest?”
They had been trembling in fear the entire journey after seeing these people with wounds on their faces. Didn’t they say these people were outstanding? They were also the mercenary guild’s special mercenaries. How could they be beaten in this manner? Were their strength truly sufficient?
Fearing that something might happen to them, he did not even dare to rest during the journey.
“Let’s go! After this escort mission is completed, we should return as quickly as possible.” Gray Wolf stood up and rubbed the grass clippings on his body.
Others stood up as well. Luo Yu approached the elderly man, patted him on the shoulder, and said, “Don’t worry, everything will be fine. We’ll escort you back safely.”
They were on a second-level escort mission, which was primarily to escort these people back, but the middle-aged man seemed to be carrying some treasures with him. He spent a lot of money on a second-level escort mission because he was afraid of getting into trouble on the journey.
When he saw that everyone had stood up, the middle-aged man took a step forward and cupped his fists. “Gentlemen, I, the surnamed Yang, will thank you with good wine and food when he arrives home safely. Please look after us on this journey.”
“Don’t worry, Master Yang; just get on the spirit beast carriage! We will keep going so we can get to the next town before it gets dark.” Du Fan smiled and motioned for him to enter the carriage first.
“Alright.” The middle-aged man replied, and he boarded the carriage alongside the elderly man. The other two guards then followed the beast carriage, which was driven by Gu Mo.
With a wave of his hand, the elderly man created a soundproof boundary barrier around the beast carriage, preventing the sound from being heard by people outside. “Master, I do not feel at ease with these few people escorting me. They were beaten in the face, and I don’t know how many times the man with the surname Luo has taken out his mirror along the way.”
The elderly man sighed softly. These strange people had him completely speechless. All they knew was that these people seemed too unconscientious, so could they really escort them home safely?
“Don’t worry. I specifically asked the Mercenary Guild. They have the strength to become special-class mercenaries, and they have more than enough qualifications to take on first-class missions.” Even though he said so, it was evident that the middle-aged man’s heart had been racing during the journey.
had never seen a man take a mirror to his face and look at it all the way, and there was another scholar with a fan who kept fanning himself. Perhaps he would have mistaken him as a scholar if it hadn’t been for their all-black mercenary garb.
What’s more, he couldn’t see through their strength, and he didn’t know what their level of cultivation strength was.
The middle-aged man said after a brief thought. “Go speak with them and gather more information so that we can be prepared,”
