What a lucky world!

Chapter 108: Is this Sun-Changing Gang considered a force?

Restaurant, elegant room.

Zhu Tiannan readily ordered a table full of dishes and looked at Zhang Mu with a bright smile: "I'm sorry to have let Brother Li spend money again."

Zhang Mu's gaze rested for a moment on the wooden box containing the Snow Frost Sky Spear's spearhead, then he retracted it and shook his head, "You're welcome."

After saying that, Zhang Mu didn't immediately mention the gun tip. Instead, he asked, "What happened just now? I heard the people who stopped me say they were the Sun-Exchange Gang. How did you provoke them?"

"It's all because of you..." Zhu Tiannan curled his lips and glared at Zhang Mu as if in a coquettish manner, but he quickly reacted and straightened his eyes.

Zhang Mu was slightly stunned. Zhu Tiannan's glare just now, with his eyes moving, was like a small lotus swaying in front of his eyes, which made his heart flutter.

Even though he knew the other person was a woman disguised as a man, Zhang Mu still felt a little awkward. He suppressed the agitation in his heart and asked, "What does this have to do with me?"

"Hmph..." Zhu Tiannan snorted lightly, not seeming angry, "Do you still remember that yellow-skinned female dog?"

Zhang Mu nodded.

"That's the luck spirit they nurtured. Yesterday, I tried to stop the female yellow dog, but it was later captured by the people from the Pacification Bureau. They didn't dare to cause trouble for the Pacification Bureau, so they put the blame on you and me."

"I was just unlucky. They recognized me on the street, and then what happened is what you see."

After listening to Zhu Tiannan's explanation of the whole story, Zhang Mu also looked helpless.

So, it was indeed his fault.

"By the way, you said this gun head is yours?" Zhu Tiannan patted the wooden box and asked.

Zhang Mu nodded. "My elders had it custom-made for me. This morning, when I went to the Divine Weapon Pavilion to get the gun, I found out the tip had been stolen..."

"I didn't steal!" Zhu Tiannan interrupted quickly, "I just confiscated the stolen goods!"

"Stolen goods?" Zhang Mu frowned slightly. "Isn't this spearhead made by the Divine Weapon Pavilion?"

"Well... they built it." Zhu Tiannan replied in a low voice.

Zhang Mu didn't understand: "How can that be considered stolen property?"

"Because it stole my things first!" Zhu Tiannan said righteously.

"Who stole your things? Divine Weapon Pavilion?" Zhang Mu continued to ask.

"No, it was this gun head that stole my things!" Zhu Tiannan pointed at the wooden box and said angrily.

Zhang Mu: [ヘ?]
Wait, let me sort it out.

You mean, my gun head stole your things?

Zhu Tiannan nodded.

"The gun head isn't a spirit, is it? How could it steal something?" Zhang Mu was at a loss for words. "Besides, what did it steal from you?"

Zhu Tiannan thought for a moment, then pulled the wooden box over, pushed it in front of Zhang Mu, and said, "Take a look for yourself."

Zhang Mu had a strange look on his face. When he opened the wooden box, a cold breath immediately emanated from it.

A crystal clear, gorgeous and dangerous gun head was quietly placed in it.

Zhang Mu reached out and picked up the spear tip. The spear tip felt extremely cold, as if he was holding a piece of ice.

Zhang Mu looked at the gun tip carefully, and soon he found something different.

I saw an almost transparent shadow below the gun tip and close to the gun body. The shadow was about an inch long and as thick as a thumb. If you didn't look closely, you really couldn't see it.

"Are you talking about this?" Zhang Mu pointed at the shadow and asked.

Zhu Tiannan nodded with a bitter face and explained: "This is the Tiansha Ice Silkworm, a very rare spiritual insect."

"I let it out a few days ago to devour the essence of the sun and the moon. I didn't expect it to be attracted to this spear head and directly took it in as its own nest."

"I don't have the money to buy it from the Divine Weapon Pavilion, so I can only... bring it back."

"Once I take out the Heavenly Evil Ice Silkworm, I'll return this spear head... Hmm?" At this point, Zhu Tiannan's eyes suddenly lit up, "Isn't this spear head yours?"

"Then can you lend it to me for a few days?"

Zhang Mu looked at Zhu Tiannan, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "How long do you need?"

Zhu Tiannan felt a little embarrassed and said, "This little guy seems to be hibernating..."

"I can only summon it once a day using secret magic."

"I don't know when I can wake up."

Zhang Mu sighed upon hearing this and said, "Brother Zhu, to be honest, I have something important to attend to and need to rush to Lanling City."

"This spear was originally custom-made for me by my elders for self-defense." "I'm afraid I don't have time to stay in Yongning City for long, and I can't give you this spearhead."

Seeing Zhu Tiannan lost in thought, Zhang Mu thought for a moment and said, "How about this?"

"Teach me how to awaken the ice silkworm, and I'll call it back for you every day. If you can get it out, I'll have the escort agency deliver it to you. How do you do that?"

Zhu Tiannan heard this and shook his head: "No, no..."

"The method to awaken it is our secret. How can I tell you? You are not..." Zhu Tiannan paused and continued, "Besides, even if the ice silkworm comes out, it won't recognize you. What if it runs away?"

Zhang Mu was also helpless: "Then what other methods do you think we can use?"

Zhu Tiannan shook his head, his eyes rolling, and said, "You said you were going to Lanling City?"

Zhang Mu nodded.

"Then let's go together. It's good to have some companionship on the road." Zhu Tiannan said.

"Together?" Zhang Mu frowned slightly.

Seeing Zhang Mu's expression, Zhu Tiannan curled his lips and said, "Anyway, this is the only way I have. Otherwise, you can just take my Tiansha Ice Silkworm away..."

"But I will keep chasing you to get my ice silkworm back!"

Zhang Mu was also worried, so he said, "Okay, let's go together."

"But we agreed that we're just going the same way. You don't follow me when I'm doing my own things."

Zhu Tiannan looked at Zhang Mu and shook his head, "I'm not that nosy."

"I just heard that Lanling City has fine wine, delicious food, and beautiful women. I'm a little curious, so I'd like to go and have a look!"

Zhang Mu nodded, placed the gun tip in the wooden box, and was about to close the box when he suddenly thought of something and frowned again.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Tiannan saw Zhang Mu's expression and thought that Zhang Mu was going to change his decision, so he asked hurriedly.

Zhang Mu pointed at the spear head inside and said, "I'm going to take this spear head to the Divine Weapon Pavilion and have them fuse the spear head and the spear body together. But there are Heavenly Evil Ice Silkworms inside. Can it withstand it?"

Zhu Tiannan raised his eyebrows: "Smelting is not a problem, the main thing is that if they find the ice silkworm, it will be difficult to deal with it."

As he spoke, Zhu Tiannan stood up, walked to the front of the gun tip, stretched out his finger, and pointed at the position where the ice silkworm was on the gun tip. Then, Zhang Mu saw the figure of the ice silkworm hidden in the gun tip slowly become transparent until it disappeared.

"It's OK now!" Zhu Tiannan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "But this state can only be maintained for two days. You have to urge them to move faster. It's best to go soon."

Zhang Mu thought about it and shook his head: "No, I can't go today."

"Why?" Zhu Tiannan asked curiously, "Don't you have something urgent to do?"

Zhang Mu looked at Zhu Tiannan and repeated his agreement with the Divine Weapon Pavilion that morning. He then said, "I finished talking to them this morning and am about to find the gun head and send it over. Do you think they will suspect that I stole it and am deliberately blackmailing them?"

"I can't hand you over, so I have to come up with a reasonable explanation."

After hearing this, Zhu Tiannan smiled and his eyes curved into crescents: "Brother Li, you really think about me."

Then, he continued, "You made an agreement with them that if they didn't find the spearhead, they would give you ten coins and refund all the costs. If you continue to forge it, you can get a 50% discount?"

"Then you can wait three days, extort ten coins from them, then take back the money, and then ask them to make you a sword for half the price. You'll make a lot of money."

"In that case, why not give me this spear head?"

"You are good at settling accounts." Zhang Mu smiled, "But no."

"Why?" Zhu Tiannan asked.

Zhang Mu just shook his head without explaining.

In fact, Zhu Tiannan had thought about this idea a long time ago, but he felt that the risk was too great.

The Divine Weapon Pavilion was no small force. What if they also possessed deductive abilities similar to the Heavenly Secret Scroll? Seeing the Divine Weapon Pavilion Master solemnly agreeing with him on a three-day deadline, Zhang Mu suspected that on the third day, the other party might resort to this method.

Moreover, as the leader in the weapons trade of Dayun Dynasty, Zhang Mu always felt that Wuzhai would have to deal with them in the future, and he couldn't lay a hidden danger for such a small matter.

Seeing that Zhang Mu didn't explain, Zhu Tiannan just muttered "idiot", then rolled his eyes and said, "Actually... there is a wall blocking the wind in the matter of the stolen gun head..."

Zhang Mu saw the cunning flash in Zhu Tiannan's eyes, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "You mean—"

"Day Change Gang?"

Zhu Tiannan nodded: "Humph, who asked them to provoke me first?"

"Do you want to come with me?"

Zhang Mu thought for a moment and asked, "This Sun-Changing Gang should be considered a force, right?"
