Chapter 28: Talent Test (9)
"Well, the wounds on the body of our clan's holy relic 'Spirit Bird' have indeed been properly treated, and it seems that what you said is true. As for the other items, they are relatively insignificant to our people. And this huge dazzling purple gem is called 'purple stone'. For our people, although its number is scarce, it is not very precious in itself, just because the holy relict spirit bird likes it very much. Shui Jingren's face showed a look of deep belief in Liu Lu's words, and also explained to him in detail the origin of the little bird and the dazzling purple gem.
"This one is really my companion, and it's too undeserved. Almost caused the noble holy bird to fall because of this. In this regard, on behalf of me and my companions, I once again express my deep apologies for the loss caused to the nobles. Sensing that the attitude in the tone of the Shuijing people had eased, Liu Lu immediately looked very remorseful again and sincerely apologized.
"Hehe, it's easy to say. As you may have heard, our people are famous for breeding a variety of ornamental birds, and the blood of this breeding bird has a great effect on the growth of the young birds of many other birds. Therefore, the breeding bird is often approached or attacked by many other birds, and it is on the verge of extinction. For our people, these few remaining breeding birds are indeed of vital importance. It is indeed a little too anxious before the next step, and I ask for your bearing with you for Meng Lang's move. This Shuijing man not only explained the little bird's heel to Liu Lu in detail, but also showed an apologetic and sincere attitude.
"It's easy to say, let's explain it clearly! Hehe! It shouldn't be far from the nobleman's companions, right? Liu Lu replied with a relaxed expression, and then changed his tone and asked.
"Well, it's time to get to the agreed point. …… Hehe, it seems that Your Excellency has a deep understanding of our situation. After the Shuijing people reflexively answered, they immediately realized the problem, and turned to the irony with a cold face.
"Hehe, Your Excellency misunderstood. It was my companion who told me that there were nearly ten members of the nobility who were following him, and that I was just casually asking about the rest of the nobility when they didn't show up, and that I didn't mean anything else, so it was better not to be surprised. Along the way, Liu Lu never relaxed his vigilance, closely following the pace of the prisoner beside him, and at the same time, the dagger in his hand kept shaking around him, intentionally or unintentionally.
In this regard, this Shuijing man is also like a mirror, but he is just false and wrongful and does not expose him.
"What? Knowing that my companion is ahead, don't you dare? Do you want to kill me now? The people of Shuijing changed their pleasant faces and knew everything just now, and their tone became stiff and angry.
"How could it be! Since the nobleman's companion is not far away, let us rush over at once. I was really sincere in reaching a settlement with the nobles. But for the time being, I will grieve Your Excellency for a while and act as my hostage. Otherwise, if the aristocratic people indiscriminately kill me when they meet, won't it cause a lot of misunderstandings? You're right. While Liu Lu seemed to ask for the other party's opinion, he had already put the dagger on the other party's neck again. At the same time, they leaned close to each other, and under the eyes of the eyes, they closely watched any changes in the situation around them.
The two didn't continue to talk, but moved forward silently.
About two minutes later, Liu Lu saw that not far ahead, the figures of eight Shuijing people appeared one after another.
At the same time as he found that the first Shuijing figure appeared, he had already stopped for the first time, and at the same time forced the Shuijing people who were holding him hostage to stop together.
"I don't know who your Excellency is? Why are you holding our clan's noble Young Master Lanyun hostage? Do you know Young Master Lan Yun's father, but he is the only legendary-level spirit Lord Lan Qingyi in my clan? Although Your Excellency is a human race, it is extremely unwise to challenge the majesty of a legendary-level spiritual powerhouse in this way. The relatively strong Shuijing man among the eight people, after a short silence, came out of the crowd, and said a clear warning to Liu Lu in a strong and calm voice.
"Oh!? His father is a legendary-level spirit Lan Qingyi? No wonder. After sorting out some key points smoothly, Liu Lu let out an exclamation.
"Yes, Young Master Lan Yun does have a high status, please don't hurt him. …… Well!? The holy relics are on you? Are you in league with that shameless thief? "The people of Qiangqiang Shuijing were still trying their best to enlighten Liu Lu, hoping that he could release their Young Master Lanyun. But after contacting and distinguishing it, his expression suddenly changed drastically.
Because this strong Shuijing man had already realized that the aura of the holy relics that had been contaminated so much by the long-term contact with the holy relics that the young master Lan Yun had been exposed to for too long was actually emanating from Liu Lu's body.
The other seven Shuijing people couldn't take care of this honorable Young Master Lanyun, and immediately surrounded Liu Lu to death.
"Is it true that you can distinguish the aura of the holy relics that have tracked its race? It seems that I have a deep stain on me now, which is a bit of a problem. Several thoughts flashed through Liu Lu's mind in an instant.
"Hey! In this way, the misunderstanding between us is a bit big, I don't know if the nobleman has other companions nearby? Is Lord Lan Tsing Yi coming? Liu had no choice but to change his original plan slightly. It can only be one step and one step.
"Yes, one of our companions has already gone home. I believe that the news will reach Lord Lan Qingyi immediately, and with the strength of the adult, he will definitely be able to rush here soon. I advise you to release Lan Yun Gongzi quickly, otherwise after the adult comes, the protector will be heartbroken, and it is likely that he will kill you in an instant, I am also for your good, please believe me. The strong Shuijing people once again persuaded Liu Lu to say a few words.
"Don't worry, let's wait for Lord Lan to come before making a decision." Liu Lu vetoed the seemingly sound proposal. Pulling Lan Yun in front of him, he slowly retreated to a big tree that was hugged by several people, and waited quietly.
The other eight Shuijing people, seeing that Liu Lu was unmoved, also waited around silently, waiting quietly.
Not too long, just a few minutes. There was a figure moving at high speed, rushing from the depths of the jungle towards the place where everyone was.
Liu Lu was a little worried at first, but after finding that the demeanors of these Shuijing people were different, they did not show the slightest fear of them, so he gently put down the dagger lying between Lan Yun's neck.
