Gou Zai Xianwu Chaos World, Physical Sainthood

Chapter 36 Using Oneself as Bait

PS: There were some issues with the previous ten chapters, so they need to be revised.

Therefore, starting from this chapter (36), there will be a sense of disconnect.

It is expected that the revisions will be completed in two days (May 5.9th).

You can wait a bit and start reading from Chapter 21 onwards.

------

The happiest person upon learning that Lu Cheng had retrieved two cartloads of medicinal herbs was the steward Liu Xitian.

Liu Xitian was originally just a farmer.

He was not even ten years old when that important figure in the imperial court collapsed in Liujia Village.

It wasn't until that man reached middle age and became wealthy that Liu Family Village began to take off.

Therefore, Liu Xitian's generation was actually the kind of "chicken and dogs" who ascended to heaven with him when he attained enlightenment.

Such a person has never received any training in business or political maneuvering.

He is completely ignorant and lacks any insight or understanding.

However, due to the rapid development of his family, he quickly gained a status far exceeding that of his peers, and mistakenly believed that he was also a person of great talent and ambition.

Gradually, he developed an arrogant and nouveau riche personality.

But when they actually encounter problems, they are immediately brought back to reality.

Forget about solving problems, they can't even control their own emotions.

This batch of medicinal herbs had already been ordered, and if it were lost, the entire Liu family village would have to pay huge compensation.

This left Liu Xitian, who was already an incompetent fool, completely bewildered.

With the medicinal herbs lost, Liu Xitian will inevitably be relegated to the margins of power in Liu Family Village, and may very well be sent to grow medicinal herbs.

After working hard for half a lifetime to become a landlord, he hadn't even enjoyed it for a few days before he had to go back to the fields. No one could stand that.

And it's not just him; his whole family will face difficulties in the future.

In addition, it's also because he came from a farming background.

Although they had encountered robbers in the past when delivering goods, they were all easily driven away.

Having witnessed so many life and death events at once, I'm almost paralyzed with fear.

Therefore, when Lu Cheng managed to recover some of the losses, this incompetent man suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.

He had felt this way the first time he led a team, when the robbers were easily driven off by the guards in the group.

Now, I've recalled it all again.

Having a sense of security helped me regain some courage and rationality.

Yes, Lu Cheng is also in the team.

Ever since Lu Cheng rescued Liu Xitian from the bandits, the steward, who was originally hostile to Lu Cheng, has developed considerable trust in him.

Now, he almost regarded Lu Cheng as his savior.

Having survived the ordeal, I could no longer hold back.

The man in his forties was both crying and laughing.

Tears and snot streamed down her smiling face as she repeatedly bowed to Lu Cheng.

It's as ridiculous as it gets.

"Lu Cheng, young hero Lu, I owe you so much. It's laughable that I was so rude to you. I was truly a waste of my eyes."

As he spoke, he actually reached out and slapped himself in the face.

"I'm so damn damned, so damn damned!"

Lu Cheng comforted him for a while before stopping his actions.

Liu Xitian wiped away his tears and snot, and glanced around.

They saw that only four of the original ten large vehicles remained, and the group of more than thirty people had dwindled to less than a third of its original size.

The emotions I had just managed to control surged up again, and I almost cried again.

"Oh dear, if only I had listened to Young Master Lu earlier, things wouldn't have turned out like this!"

"How are we going to explain this to the clan?"

Upon hearing Liu Xitian's words, the expressions of the remaining people all changed.

Especially Xiao Kuang of Cuiyun Temple and Zhou Yunxiang of Lin Family Martial Arts School.

As the leaders of the escort team, the two were responsible for the safety of the convoy.

Under normal circumstances, it would be fine.

However, everyone in the group knew that the two were at odds with each other throughout the journey.

We almost ended up on separate teams.

With such severe losses now, there's no way to shirk responsibility.

The silver compensation is secondary; the key issue is the reputation of their sect, which has been severely humiliated by these two individuals.

Therefore, the two must "cooperate" this time.

The two exchanged a glance, a rare instance of communicating through eye contact, and reached a consensus.

Xiao Kuang was closer to Liu Xitian, so he spoke first:

"Manager Liu, please don't be too anxious."

"This situation is different from the past; no one expected so many martial artists to attack."

"Four mid-stage Qi Refining experts, ten early-stage Qi Refining experts, and more than twenty skilled martial artists."

As he spoke, a sigh appeared on Xiao Kuang's face:

"Such strength is already comparable to some martial arts forces."

"Even the Yuntao Sect and Feiyun Sect in Yangcheng only have a martial artist in the late stage of the Refining Qi realm in charge."

Zhou Yunxiang nodded in agreement:

"Yes, if it were just those bandits and robbers along the way, they wouldn't be worth mentioning at all."

"So this time, it's not a fault of the war."

"On the contrary, it is already quite remarkable that we were able to preserve half of the medicinal herbs."

"No matter who it is, they can't do what Manager Liu has done."

To Liu Xitian, these words were nothing short of providing him with a convenient excuse and a way out.

As expected, Liu Xitian felt relieved upon hearing this.

A look of joy unconsciously appeared on his face.

Yes, Xiao Kuang and Zhou Yunxiang are absolutely right.

This situation is so complicated, how can I blame myself?

This group of bandits is equivalent to a martial arts sect.

However, the convoy's protective gear remained unchanged, except for the addition of Lu Cheng.

But I managed to save two extra cartloads of medicinal herbs.

Looking at it this way, I realize that I have done nothing wrong and have done nothing wrong!

It was only in the last few years, when the Liu family village started growing medicinal herbs, that they came into contact with a large number of martial artists.

The past ten years or so have been nothing more than some mundane business dealings.

Where did Liu Xitian go to meet martial artists?

Therefore, their perceptions were changed by the two people in just a few words.

They didn't even think to hold the two responsible for their failure to provide adequate protection.

Lu Cheng remained silent.

Instead, he silently watched as the two of them went back and forth, trying to "fool" Liu Xitian.

Lu Cheng didn't care about the outcome for Xiao Kuang and Zhou Yunxiang.

He was also unable to influence Liujia Village's decision.

The only thing we can do is, for the sake of the three chubby guys, find out who the mole is.

As for what happens next, that's none of his business.

After the three of them finished "comforting each other," Lu Cheng spoke up:

"Manager Liu, now that things have come to this, what are the next steps?"

Given the current state of the convoy, it is impossible for them to continue to Yunshan County.

Or we should head back home.

We can either stay here and wait for Liujia Village to send more people and replenish the medicinal herbs.

But according to Lu Cheng's judgment, Liu Family Village would not choose the latter.

"this……"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xitian was at a loss for what to do.

He could only turn his gaze to Xiao Kuang, Zhou Yunxiang, and Lu Cheng.

Xiao Kuang and Zhou Yunxiang had finally managed to fool Liu Xitian and "unify" their story, so they dared not say anything more at this point.

Seeing Liu Xitian hesitate, one lowered his head and the other turned his head away.

She simply avoided meeting his gaze.

Helpless, Liu Xitian could only stare at Lu Cheng.

Lu Cheng sneered inwardly, but remained outwardly calm, and said in a low voice:

"If Steward Liu has no arrangements, I do have a suggestion."

Liu Xitian hurriedly said:

"It would be wonderful if Young Master Lu had any suggestions. Please speak them quickly."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Kuang and Zhou Yunxiang also turned their gazes over.

Lu Cheng looked at Liu Xitian and said:

"To be honest, while I was chasing the enemy, I recognized their identities from the skill of one of the bandits!"

"I'll head back to Liujia Village to find the clan chief first thing tomorrow morning."

"When the time comes, we'll ask the Zhenwu Battalion to take action. Not only will they be able to recover the medicinal herbs, but they can also eliminate these despicable villains in one fell swoop!"

While Lu Cheng was speaking, his eyes kept glancing at Xiao Kuang and Zhou Yunxiang out of the corner of his eye.

They took in every reaction from the two of them.

Just as he uttered his first words, he caught a glimpse of panic flashing across one of the men's faces.

Upon seeing this, Lu Cheng immediately understood.
