1418 A Grand Momen (1/2)

”F*cking bastard! How dare you mention yesterday!” Lu Changwei felt a prod on his wound. ”Yesterday… that was because yesterday, everyone was siding you! That's why I gave in to you! If you so much as dare touch a hair on me today, I will make sure there's nothing left of you to bury!”

”Heh, don't you forget. I was not the only one who hit you yesterday!” Chen Xiaobei said in a mocking tone.

”What a joke! You think you can make the ninth young lord hit me again?!” Lu Changwei smiled smugly. ”I already said that I will become the young lord's confidant soon! Now how in the world are you going to compete with that?”

Chen Xiaobei ignored him. ”Lady Wenren, let's go. We don't have to talk to this idiot.”

”Motherf*cker! Who are you calling an idiot?! I will kill you now!” Lu Changwei's nose flared.

But before he could make a move, someone grabbed him from the back.

”M… Mr. Meng.” Lu Changwei quickly tried to hide his anger. ”Why are you here?”

”The ninth young lord is asking how much further do we have to go?” Old Meng asked.

”We'll be reaching soon in about 3 to 5 minutes. We'll just need to reach that hill in front.” Lu Changwei replied.

”Then get everyone to saddle up! Let's move quickly and not waste any more time! The ninth young lord is getting impatient!” Old Meng said sternly.

”Yes!” Lu Changwei nodded, and then shouted to the group, ”We have to move faster! Everyone, follow me! Come on!”

Lu Changwei hurtled forward.

Chen Xiaobei gestured to Old Meng a fist-in-palm. The old man nodded but said nothing. He then turned to leave.

Very soon, they all arrived at the foot of the hill.

”Ninth young lord, look, the legendary hidden treasures are right under the hill!” Lu Changwei piped.

Ximen Dingjun responded with an eyeroll, and an impatient answer ensued, ”Enough nonsense! Just open the hidden treasure now! I can't wait to see the treasure!”

”Yes, sir!” Lu Changwei nodded and then shouted, ”Everyone, listen to my instructions! Form up into the Yin Aqua King Slaying Battle Formation! Let's unveil the Overgrown Forest's hidden treasure!”

Dong Xiaowu frowned. ”Lu Changwei! You said that you invited us to hunt together, but you never mentioned anything about hidden treasure!”

”I get it now!” Miao Yiyue said. ”Lu Changwei lied about the hunting! He just needed us to open the hidden treasure! He's just using us!”

”If that's the case! I refuse to join the combat formation!” Qin Luo said.

”I refuse too!” Wei Ruilong said.

”Heh! You're only realizing that now? It's too late!” Lu Changwei said icily. ”I am giving this hidden treasure to the ninth young lord as a gift! Refusing to join the combat formation means you're refusing to help the young lord! That is equivalent to being disloyal to the Temple! Treason is a crime punishable by execution!”

Everyone was shocked to hear this.

”So, you're not willing to open the hidden treasure for me, eh?” Ximen Dingjun looked around at them, his tone threatening.

The group quickly said, ”No, no, no. We are willing to do it for you! It's our duty, and our honor!”

They were clearly not afraid of Lu Changwei, but they dared not offend Ximen Dingjun.
