Traveling through Doupo with the ancestral talisman

He could have directly snatched Qinglin away, but he had no idea what Qinglin was thinking. This was the only way to be safe.

"Oh...where's your leader?"

"I... don't know." Qing Lin lowered her head, as if she had made a mistake: "I'm just a maid, I'm not qualified to know..."

"Oh, is that so." Lu Yu rubbed her head and said, "It's okay. I'm not blaming you. I just asked casually. Don't think too much."

“Ah…oh oh…” Qinglin blushed and nodded.

After she had packed up, Lu Yu took her to find Xiao Ding. He was going to start looking for the strange fire. Maybe Xiao Yan was already on his way to the desert.

When they walked out of the room, many mercenaries were awake. Although they could eat and drink as much as they wanted last night, no mercenary dared to relax his guard, because relaxation might mean death.

When they saw Lu Yu coming out, everyone who met him nodded and smiled, and were very respectful to him. But when they saw Qing Lin beside Lu Yu, their expressions inexplicably turned cold.

Qinglin followed closely behind Lu Yu, not daring to look up the whole time.

Lu Yu rubbed her little head and said, "Girl, it seems that you are not living very well here?"

"Nothing..." Qing Lin waved his hands and said hurriedly:

"The team leader and Sister Xuelan were very kind to me. They made sure I had enough food every day. They never beat me, scolded me, or let me go hungry..."

Lu Yu's face changed slightly. He was hungry... He hadn't experienced this for a long time. Probably when he was very young, his family had experienced it once, and it never happened again after that. However, in his original body's memory, he often went hungry for nine meals in three days.

"Will you stay with me from now on?" Lu Yu rubbed her head and said with a smile, "If you stay with me, no one will look down on you, no one will dare to hit you or bully you..."

Qing Lin was stunned for a moment, and said hesitantly: "Sir... the captain has already given me to you..."

Lu Yu was also stunned for a moment, and then his face suddenly showed joy: "That's great!"

"From now on, um... just call me Young Master. No need to call me Sir. Do you understand?" Lu Yu said with a smile. He was the young master of a noble family in Xuanyu. He could deserve the title of Young Master.

"Yes, sir." Qinglin smiled sweetly.

"Come on, young master, I will take you to your new residence." Lu Yu took her hand, said goodbye to Xiao Ding, and went to the city to buy a house.

Watching Lu Yu and Qing Lin's receding backs, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were silent for a while.

"Brother, do you think what he said is true or false?" Xiao Li asked. The reason they were able to build a decent mercenary group in this man-eating desert was not because of luck, but because of their brains.

"I don't know...it's probably half true and half false." Xiao Ding shook his head and said:

"I can't see his purpose, I don't know what he wants, but at least it proves one thing, he has no ill will towards us."

"And we... have nothing worthy of his concern, and he didn't take anything from us. Maybe he really has a good relationship with Xiao Yanzi."

"We are not at a disadvantage, so put your heart back in your stomach."

"yes, Sir!"

……

The Sand Mercenary Group, under the command of Hai Bodong, Rob led his men to a flat sandy area southeast of Shimo City and began digging.

Many people in the city noticed this and left after observing for a while. The behavior of the Sand Mercenaries was very outrageous. It gave people the feeling that they were just finding a random place and then digging.

After digging for an hour or two, there was nothing but sand, and the sand was soft. The hole that had just been dug was filled up again in a short while. It was completely a waste of effort.

Not to mention the onlookers, even Rob himself couldn't help feeling annoyed. He had worked so hard to dig for such a long time but found nothing. He was also a little annoyed.

"Captain?"

"Keep digging!" Rob snorted, "Today, everyone will be rewarded 100 gold coins for every hour they dig. No one is allowed to stop!"

Hearing this, the mercenaries' eyes suddenly lit up. One hundred gold coins may not be as valuable as going on a mission by themselves, but it is safer!

All the mercenaries were immediately cheered up and no longer as irritable as before.

Rob returned to the base himself and reported the matter to Hai Bodong.

After hearing what Rob said, Hai Bodong's snow-white eyebrows suddenly frowned. He had drawn the map himself, so there was no reason for there to be any mistakes.

After thinking about it, Hai Bodong took out a map and a ruler, marked on them, went to the scene again, demarcated a smaller area, and asked the people of the Sand Mercenary Group to continue digging.

But... Rob was speechless when he looked at the range given by Hai Bodong. This range was larger than the range he had dug before.

……

In the bedroom of a two-story building in the city center.

Qinglin's little face was red, and her skin, as white as a porcelain doll, was as red as a little apple. She held the jade piece in her little hand and helped Lu Yu scrape the burning blood with some trembling.

"Girl, be careful, this is a fourth-grade elixir." Lu Yu chuckled.

"Ah..." Qinglin's little hand trembled and she was frightened.

"Haha, I'm just kidding. Don't worry, it's just burning blood, not a very precious thing." Lu Yu laughed and joked.

"Young Master, you...you always scare me..." Qing Lin muttered softly, but his hands became much steadier and he was no longer as shy as before.

"How old is the girl this year?" asked Lu Yu.

"I don't know..." Qing Lin sniffed and lowered his head and said, "I was abandoned since I was a child. I don't know when I was born..."

Lu Yu was silent for a while. Like his original self, he was born a slave and came from nowhere.

"But Sister Xue Lan said that I should be fifteen years old this year." Qing Lin added that the Sister Xue Lan she mentioned was a member of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group. She was very nice to her and she always remembered her.

"Fifteen years old...luckily it's not against the law..." Lu Yu muttered, feeling somewhat relieved.

"Master, what did you say? Qinglin didn't hear clearly."

"Ahaha, it's okay." Lu Yu laughed dryly.

At this moment, there was a noise outside the window and Hai Bodong came in through the window.

"Ah!" Qing Lin was startled. Seeing the stranger climbing through the window, he immediately hid behind Lu Yu.

"It's okay, this is my... um, bodyguard." Lu Yu said, touching Qinglin's head.

Hai Bodong's mouth twitched slightly. How did he become a bodyguard?

Forget it, just change. It’s not shameful for a disabled Dou Huang to be the bodyguard of a sixth-grade alchemist.

"Lü Yu, the search for the strange fire is not going smoothly." Hai Bodong said in a deep voice.

Chapter 40 Hai Bodong: No one understands maps better than me!

Inside the small building, after listening quietly to Hai Bodong's statement, Lu Yu frowned. After a whole day, he didn't find anything. It seems that my luck is not particularly good.

Lu Yu also knew that there was no strange fire underground, but what he was thinking about were the eleven earth fire lotus seeds.

The pure energy contained in this thing can definitely allow him to condense a small nirvana golden body. Without the small nirvana golden body, even if he goes to Canaan College, he will not be able to practice the Qingtian Hualong Jue.

This is a hurdle he can't get around!

"Girl, do you know anything?" Lu Yu chuckled and asked the timid Qinglin.

Hai Bodong rolled his eyes. What does this maid know? Isn't she looking for her because she dislikes me, an old man?

Hearing Lu Yu's question, Qing Lin was stunned for a moment, her face flushed, and then after hesitating for a moment, she said: "Um... Sir, the southeast direction of the city is a little different..."

"A few months ago, I... I sensed a very powerful aura appearing in the southeast of the city... Yes, yes... my blood vessels sensed it."

Under Lü Yu's Hai Bodong's gaze, Qing Lin barely managed to finish his words.

Bloodline... Hai Bodong's eyes flashed, but he didn't ask any more questions.

"In that case, let's go to the southeast of the city and take a look." Lu Yu stood up and began to put on his clothes with Qinglin's help.

Seeing this, Hai Bodong returned to the area in the southeast of the city first, but Lu Yu was not satisfied with Qinglin.

"Sir..." Qinglin helped Lu Yu put on his robe and asked softly, "Sir, don't you want to ask Qinglin about his bloodline?"

Looking at the little maidservant who was only as tall as his chest and didn't dare to raise her head, Lu Yu smiled and said, "If Qinglin wants to talk, I will listen. If Qinglin doesn't want to talk, I won't ask. This is not an important matter."

Qinglin raised his head, his emerald green eyes sparkling: "Young Master..."

Lu Yu was stunned for a moment. He clearly saw three rotating dots in the emerald green pupils.

Green Snake's Three-Flower Pupil...Lü Yu's eyes flickered, but he soon calmed down. He reached out to hug Qing Lin's soft and slender waist, displayed his purple cloud wings and flew out.

……

In the southeast of the city, after a busy day, the dazzling sunlight in the desert gradually faded, and the original high temperature also dropped rapidly.

"Sir, our subordinates have been busy all day. Would you like to take a rest? The desert is very cold at night..." Rob asked cautiously.

Hai Bodong was silent for a moment, shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "Wait a little longer!"

"Sir..." Rob's eyes changed slightly, and he was about to continue speaking, but he saw Hai Bodong looking up at the sky.

Out of curiosity, Rob subconsciously looked up at the sky. As soon as he looked up, he was shocked and screamed:

“Fighting… Fighting Qi turns into wings!?”

I saw a figure with wings on his back flying rapidly in the sky. In the sky that was about to turn dark, it was impossible to make out the man's face clearly.

Hai Bodong's face darkened slightly. Could it be someone from the City Lord's Mansion?

If that's the case... then it's a bit troublesome.

However, before he could finish his thought, he saw the person in the air getting closer and closer, and more and more familiar. In just a few breaths, he had landed in front of him.

“Lü Yu?” Hai Bodong looked at the wings behind Lü Yu in surprise. Isn’t this guy’s fighting spirit cultivation at the fighting master level... could it be a flying fighting skill?

After a moment of surprise, Hai Bodong had some guesses, but his fear grew bigger and bigger. He couldn't see through this kid anymore. He even developed flying fighting skills. Could he be the young master of some powerful force who came here to gain experience?

With a swish, Lu Yu landed in front of Hai Bodong. Qing Lin in his arms was trembling, but there was a hint of excitement on her little face. Young people are active, and she, a little girl, is no exception.

"This is Rob, the manager of the Sand Mercenary Group." Hai Bodong said, pointing at Rob standing aside.

"Greetings, sir!" Rob immediately bowed his head and saluted. He did not have the eyesight of Hai Bodong and did not know that it was a flying fighting skill. He subconsciously thought it was real fighting spirit turning into wings.

What's more...Hai Bodong's performance was consistent with his guess.

It is reasonable for a Dou Ling to help a Dou Wang.

"Let your men stop for a while." Lu Yu said, and then looked at Qinglin.

The little girl was still a little dazed, still savoring the feeling of flying. When she saw Lu Yu looking at her, she nodded quickly, her little face flushed again.

"Sir, please wait a moment..." Qinglin said softly, closed his eyes slightly, and began to feel it carefully.

After a while, he pointed in a direction and said, "Master, which direction should it be?"

Hai Bodong hesitated, but after thinking about it, he said nothing.

Under Qinglin's guidance, Lu Yu walked to the foot of a sand dune. Qinglin drew a rough area with his hand and said:

"Sir, this should be it..."

The corner of Hai Bodong's eyes twitched slightly. That place was no longer within the range he had specified.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu nodded, and a surging soul force roared out from between his brows, covering the area designated by Qing Lin.

At the side, Rob, who was following behind, almost knelt down. The pressure from the soul almost made his heart jump out.

But soul power comes quickly and goes quickly.

After just a few breaths, Lu Yu shook his head and withdrew his soul power. He could not sense anything as the soul power could not penetrate too deeply into the sand.

"Let's start digging." Lu Yu called out and asked the people from the Sand Mercenary Group to come over.

Those people breathed a sigh of relief. The range given by Qinglin was much smaller than the one given by Haibodong, so it wouldn't be too difficult to play.

"Is it possible?" Hai Bodong came over, glanced at Qinglin, and asked lightly. When it comes to map drawing, it is not an exaggeration to call him an expert.

"My perception can't be wrong!" Qing Lin frowned and said immediately.

Hai Bodong curled his lips. This was the map he drew, and no one understood it better than him!

"Sir, we found it!" At this moment, the mercenaries shouted in surprise.

Great, they finally found it. They no longer have to dig and can finally go back and rest.

Hai Bodong froze on the spot when he heard that, and an expression of embarrassment appeared on his old face.

"Let's go, map expert." Lu Yu chuckled and took Qinglin's little hand and walked towards where the mercenaries were digging.

The corner of Hai Bodong's mouth twitched. What a disgusting young man who didn't know how to respect the elderly.

At the place of excavation, a hole about one and a half meters in diameter appeared under the yellow sand. The mercenaries did not dare to approach and stepped aside to leave all the space to Lu Yu. The scene of this man flapping his wings and falling just now was still vivid in their minds.

They dared not even touch the things that the Dou Wang strongmen were looking for.
