Chapter 395 - An Eye-Catching Captain (1/2)

The Mu family really wants to hire Lin Luoran and repeatedly visits her. As for Lin Luoran, she has made the trip to Ying with the caravan part of her plan. After false courtesies, she soon has a deal with them.

Azhi comes here just when Mu Qinghua leaves. It is really funny. She rejected money, so Mu Qinghua brings her a gift this time. It is the set of flower hairpins she sold to the silver shop earlier—after so many things, this stuff is back to Lin Luoran as a gift.

Lin Luoran feels very funny and asks Mu Qinghua how much this set of jewelry costs.

The head of the Mu caravan says it is not expensive. He is kind of proud that he can coincidentally get the unknown treasure in this small town with a mere 5000 taels of silver. Lin Luoran’s face twists when she hears what he says.

It is so true that all business people are profiteers. The seemingly honest old shopkeeper is actually a big profiteer. He got it from her with 1200 taels and earned 3800 taels within one day so easily! Mu Qinghua will definitely not lie to her in terms of price. The goods Mus are going to send to Ying this time must be very valuable so that they ask her to escort it many times. There is no reason for them to ruin the deal because of details.

When Azhi is here, Lin Luoran’s breakfast is still on the table. It takes two hours from the mountain to this county even without carrying anything. The young man’s eyes are bloodshot. Maybe he has stayed up all night?

“There is some steamed bread here. You can just have some.” Lin Luoran only eats a little. It’s bad to waste food, so she greets Azhi for breakfast.

In fact, cultivators in the Bearing Essence period do not need to eat earthly food. They can just live by the Reiki nouris.h.i.+ng their cells in their body. Therefore, there is a saying that immortals feed on wind and drink dew. Lin Luoran always has the habit of eating on time because she advances too fast to adapt to the habit of cultivators. She also can’t control herself to be a foodie since she owns s.p.a.ce… In her mind, she also doesn’t want to forget the feeling of being a person. She cultivates the Tao of the mortal world.

Azhi finishes porridge and steamed bread very soon and then wipes his mouth, “Sister Lin, I’m ready to go to Feng City.”

Lin Luoran is not surprised by this result. She knows his choice when she sees that the young boy cannot sleep at night and rushes here. However, to her surprise, Azhi refuses her support.

Brown rice is only three hundred coins per 120 pounds, and meat is ten coins per pound. One thousand taels of silver are enough for people in a small mountain village to live comfortably for a lifetime. Refusing so much money for them is like white-collar workers earning several thousand a month refusing the opportunity of getting a million yuan for free.

Lin Luoran now really regards this dark boy with special respect.

The Mu caravan is about to leave, and Azhi has bought rice and food back for his family. The money of selling bacon, leather goods and the small firefox is enough for his mother to live for a long time. Lin Luoran invites him to go to Feng City together because the caravan will pa.s.s through this larger city anyway.

Azhi gladly agrees, and Lin Luoran asks him to go shopping around. After all, he is just a teenager who seldom leaves the mountain in a year. He is actually very curious about many shops in the county.

When he leaves, the extremely discerning broker comes to meet her.

The bamboo cage he holds is keeping the firefox inside. He heard that the head of the Mu family came to hire Lin Luoran personally, and he was sure that Lin Luoran would have enough money to pay him.

Lin Luoran bought this fox herself.

But what should she do with it now?

Lin Luoran doesn’t expect Azhi to come back so early. In this case, she doesn’t have enough time to handle the firefox. The teenager will be back soon again. Lin Luoran makes a Mini World to cover herself. In less than ten minutes, she releases this little firefox somewhere.

In the afternoon, someone from the Mu family comes to invite her to take the road.

Lin Luoran is very confused. Why do they choose to start now? If they set out now, won’t they rest in the wilderness? She takes Azhi to the Mus’ house, which is extremely big in this county. The caravan is lined up on the street with dozens of big chariots. The Mu caravan really has a large scale.

When Mu Qinghua hired her, he said that she would escort food for them. The situation is turbulent, and it is normal that someone will mug food on the road. Therefore, they have to hire a master to serve as the captain. Penglai and Ying are at war, so selling food is definitely beneficial. However, won’t it be too troublesome if they have to send the food so far away? Lin Luoran generally checks it with her spiritual mind. She suddenly realizes there is something else in the rice and wheat of these grain trucks.

This is the case. How can selling food be more profitable than selling weapons? Seeing dozens of swords and arbalests hidden in grain trucks, Lin Luoran exclaims over the Mu family, which even has the nerve to make money by war. Looking at Mu Qinghua and smiling Mu Qingshan, she has no idea which country they sell weapons to.

If she were an ordinary martial artist, she would have retreated now. However, Lin Luoran does not care about it.

Because she is a cultivator who is overwhelming in this martial arts world, besides, she is neither a citizen of Penglai nor of Ying, so she has no sense of national honor.

“Miss Lin, be careful all the way!” Mu Qinghua holds fists and says to her. More than 100 guards are well equipped. The Mu family must have invested a lot this time.

Lin Luoran nods and lowers the curtain.
