Moreover, there was a fierce look in his eyes, which clearly indicated that he was a trained fighter.
"I see you're strong and healthy, and you even know a little martial arts. You're cut out to be a farmer."
"Stop doing those bad things, follow me, and I guarantee you'll live a life of luxury."
Lu Yan patted him on the shoulder.
Blood Shadow Mad Blade was stunned for a moment. Farming?
He's a protector of the Asura Cult, capable of murder and robbery without restraint. Why would you send him to farm?
This is worse than killing him.
"What? You don't want to?"
Lu Yan raised an eyebrow, his tone carrying a hint of threat.
Blood Shadow Mad Blade quickly shook his head:
"Yes! Yes! I'm willing to farm with Grandpa!"
"That's a good boy." Lu Yan smiled with satisfaction.
"By the way, what's your name?"
Blood Shadow Mad Blade lowered his head and stammered:
"I...I don't have a name, I'm an orphan."
Lu Yan looked him up and down.
This kid has dark skin and does look a bit like a mongrel.
"I see you're dark-skinned and wiry, so let's call you Li Kui!" Lu Yan said casually.
"This humble one... thanks Grandpa for bestowing this name upon me!"
Li Kui nodded hurriedly in agreement, but secretly he was delighted.
This person seems quite capable, much more reliable than that evil Buddha.
Following him might lead to something great in the future.
"Lu Fei, take this kid away and 'take good care' of him."
"Let him know what it means to 'work is the most glorious'."
Lu Fei obeyed the order, grabbed Li Kui by the collar, and lifted him down like a chick.
Chen Qingwan, supported by Qiao'er's hand, struggled to get off the bumpy carriage.
Her fine clothes were covered in dust, and her hair was somewhat disheveled.
Her usual haughty and aloof demeanor was now replaced by a disheveled state.
Looking at the scene before me—the “evil Buddha” followers lying haphazardly.
The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder, and I felt a mix of emotions.
I thought this incognito visit was going to end badly in this desolate wilderness.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yan appeared and even saved her.
This puzzled her greatly.
Has this corrupt official changed his ways?
Why come to this remote and impoverished area to provide disaster relief?
"impossible,"
Chen Qingwan snorted coldly in her heart.
"He's a corrupt official who'll plunder every passing goose; who knows what kind of evil scheme he's plotting now!"
She secretly decided that she would definitely find out why this kid came here later.
Just as she was deep in thought, an annoying voice rang in her ear:
"Oh, isn't this our Miss Chen? What happened to you, you look so disheveled! Anyone who didn't know better would think you'd come here as a refugee!"
Chen Qingwan turned her head sharply and saw Lu Yan riding on horseback, looking down at her.
With his signature mocking smile on his face, he seemed to be watching a good show.
She was instantly furious. Couldn't this corrupt official speak like a human being?
"Lu Yan! You..."
Just as Chen Qingwan was about to lash out, he interrupted her.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't rush to start cursing,"
Lu Yan jumped off his horse with a grin.
He walked up to her and looked her up and down.
"Tsk tsk tsk, he looks so dirty and disheveled, I almost didn't recognize him."
"She's a great beauty, how could she have let herself get like this?"
Chen Qingwan glared at him fiercely, suppressing her anger:
"My affairs are none of your business! But what are you doing here?"
"Don't tell me you're here to help the poor and needy, I don't believe you!"
Lu Yan feigned surprise and covered his chest:
"Miss Chen, your words are hurtful! I am a good official who is wholeheartedly dedicated to serving the people!"
"The purpose of this visit is, of course, to understand the people's sentiments and to seek better things for them!"
Don't give me that!
Chen Qingwan ruthlessly exposed his lies.
"Do you think I don't know your tricks? Tell me, what are you here for?"
Lu Yan helplessly shrugged:
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you the truth. Actually, I came here to..."
He deliberately dragged out his words, whetting Chen Qingwan's appetite.
"Hunters!"
"Hunting?" Chen Qingwan asked with a suspicious look.
"You've come all the way to this godforsaken place to hunt? You're kidding me!"
Lu Yan was talking nonsense with a straight face:
"Miss Chen, you are unaware of this."
"In these mountains, there is a rare wild delicacy called 'Flying Fat Rat,' which has delicious meat and is rich in nutrients."
"Eating it can prolong life and improve health! That's why I came here!"
"Flying fat rat?"
Chen Qingwan's lips twitched. This kid is talking nonsense!
Just as she was about to press for more information, she caught a glimpse of Li Kui standing not far behind Lu Yan.
Li Kui's head was practically buried in the ground at this moment.
The little wooden stick in my hand poked and prodded.
Like a coal miner, drawing circles on the ground.
He was wearing tattered clothes.
His appearance was completely different from his previous "Blood Shadow Mad Blade" look.
Chen Qingwan's heart stirred.
Isn't this the protector of the Asura Cult from earlier?
How come she's hanging out with Lu Yan now?
And look at him like this, so cowardly?
She asked calmly:
"Lord Lu, who is this...?"
"Oh, you mean him?"
Lu Yan followed Chen Qingwan's gaze and looked at Xiao Hei.
"His name is Li Kui, and he's my new underling. How about that? Isn't he imposing and powerful?"
Upon hearing Lu Yan's words, Li Kui quickly raised his head.
He revealed a smile that was more like a grimace:
"This humble servant...this humble servant has met this young lady before."
Chen Qingwan looked at Li Kui's timid and submissive demeanor, and her doubts deepened.
