Chapter 394 - The Mu Caravan (1/2)

Of course, people of the Mu family are not all morons. After their left faces have been beaten, they will not show their right faces with enthusiasm and then say “please go ahead”.

After a short conversation, they explain their intentions.

Firstly, the manager of the Mu Family asks in a roundabout way that if Lin Luoran is free recently to be hired as the captain of the guard for the Mu caravan to Ying.

It turns out that they mistake Lin Luoran as a female warrior.

People here are open-minded. There is neither the bad tradition of women foot-binding, nor the restriction that women can’t show up in front of people other than their closest relatives. Therefore, Miss Mu can ride horse and swagger through the street. To sum up, women’s status is not too low in Penglai. There are women who start their own business independently and travel extensively. Lin Luoran’s skin color is like that of a person wandering around the world. Combined with her skills, it’s normal that she will be mistaken as a female warrior.

This place is not recorded in the ancient book of monsters of wood. Lin Luoran does not know her next step now. She doesn’t want to be the captain of the escort. However, she suddenly gets an idea. In this era of out-of-date information, won’t she get the most information if she is in a caravan?

She may find clues after taking a closer look at this continent.

Lin Luoran makes the decision but she says she has to think about it. Sending away the Mu family, she chooses to deal with Azhi’s affairs first.

Lin Luoran doesn’t accept the small box held by the Mu Family manager. She asks along the way about the best inn in this county. It happens to be owned by the Mu Family but Lin Luoran doesn’t care about it. She gets a best room and talks to Azhi.

Facing the Mu family, she cannot say that she is a lady in Feng City. Otherwise, she can’t carry out her plan. But now she has to explain to Azhi.

“As you can see, I am not a lady of Feng City. I was injured in the mountain because I was chased by my enemy. I was afraid that you guys might be scared if I told you the truth. Therefore, I lied. Will you blame me?”

Azhi is obviously not very comfortable in such a nice room. He doesn’t even know how to put his hands and feet. He considers it for a moment carefully and his eyes are still very clean, “Sister, is your surname really Lin?”

Lin Luoran nods and it seems to be a big relief for Azhi. He is probably afraid that Lin Luoran even lied about her name.

Lin Luoran knows that he doesn’t care about it and she tells him what she heard in the bank. Azhi is overjoyed and really wants to have a try after knowing the news that the famous school of Feng City is enrolling apprentices. However, he flinches after thinking about his family condition.

“How can my mother live at home alone… I, I have to be a hunter. I will buy a good bow later.”

Lin Luoran gives him the bronze lock and encourages him.

“Azhi, life is only a few decades. If you don’t take the opportunity to do what you want to do, you will feel regret when you are old. There is a flying ticket of one thousand taels hidden in the bronze lock which can be cashed in this county at any time. Just take it as my honorarium for saving me. I give it to you but you have to make the decision. You can take the flying ticket and go back to the mountain to be a small landlord and then marry a good wife. One thousand taels doesn’t mean much but it is enough for you to live until old in this troubled world… You can also choose to buy some gifts with this flying ticket and then go to Feng City to learn martial arts. You may start your own career in this way.”

Azhi’s hands shrink. One thousand taels? He doesn’t see so much money even in his dream!

“Sister Lin, I, I can’t take it.” The youngster is stammering.

Lin Luoran smiles and puts it in his hand, “You can just take it. For villagers, a thousand taels means a lot. But for me, I feel that my life is more valuable than it. You have just seen that the Mu family invited me to escort its caravan to Ying. I can earn a few hundred taels from this trip alone but I still think it is too cheap so I hasn’t accepted it yet. ”

Lin Luoran says the half-truth and Azhi is obviously stunned.

In the cold weapon era, people learning martial arts are very popular. Azhi knows that martial arts masters are rich. However, casually sending a thousand taels away like this? He dare not even think about it before.

Lin Luoran sees that he is like in a dream and she quickly bursts his bubbles.

“People who are capable of fighting are very aggressive and now we are in a troubled times. n.o.ble people may also lose everything in the blink of an eye. You have to think about it carefully.”

Azhi totally loses his mind and says that he has to go home first. He gets a lot to digest about Lin Luoran’s words.

Azhi doesn’t take the bra.s.s lock. He knows Lin Luoran will still be in the inn tomorrow and he leaves with his stuff.

Lin Luoran doesn’t know which one Azhi will choose but she is still very happy to provide people with the opportunity to choose their dreams. In a good mood, she asks the inn guy to take a large wooden barrel into her room. Taking a hot bath and cleaning herself up, she then enters the s.p.a.ce.

Fire phoenix totally agrees with her idea of escorting the caravan to Ying. It only says that if there is no way forward, running around will be a good idea because maybe there is a good chance.

Lin Luoran feels that this is the most philosophical sentence which fire phoenix has ever said. It makes wood wolf laugh a lot.

After taking a hot bath, she feels very comfortable. If she doesn’t have the obsession to climb the Penglai mountain, the days now are really like her life as an ordinary person in the Naqu gra.s.sland.
