My cells devour all worlds.

Su Wanqing and Xiao Huan sat inside the carriage, driven by the coachman.

There was a guard on each side, riding a horse, guarding against any possible danger.

On the other hand, there were more people at Changfeng Escort Agency.

Zhao Ming, the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort), was not at the镖局 (bodyguard agency) when he was on a

Therefore, this time the team was led by Dong He, who was experienced in escorting goods and could be considered a good one even among second-rate escorts.

Two other veteran bodyguards, along with two younger bodyguards, split into two teams, riding horses and waiting at the front and back of the group.

The rest were a few strong and sturdy porters guarding the wagons loaded with goods.

Besides some small escorts along the way, the carriage carried supplies needed for the group's journey.

Lu Sheng and Shen Qingshu's carriages were positioned in the middle of the procession, behind Su Wanqing's carriage.

Su Qi and Liu Er also arrived and accompanied them.

At this moment, only Lu Sheng was lying lazily inside the carriage.

He appeared to be dozing, but in reality, his internal energy and blood circulation never stopped.

When Lu Sheng was practicing his internal energy cultivation, an idea came to him.

Is it possible to train breathing exercises to become as instinctive as breathing itself?

In this way, he would not need to meditate and practice breathing exercises for extended periods.

After months of trial and error, Lu Sheng actually succeeded.

Although the effect is not even half that of calming the mind, it is still very pleasing.

Now, Lu Sheng plans to follow the same method of circulating Qi and blood as the Iron Wall Skill.

In this way, he is constantly increasing his strength.

Outside the carriage, Shen Qingshu had already mounted his conspicuous white horse and squeezed to the front, running parallel to Su Wanqing's carriage.

The guards, sensing the situation, moved forward a short distance to make way for Shen Qingshu.

Dressed in a close-fitting outfit, Shen Qingshu rode a white horse and, through the open window, told Su Wanqing about the interesting stories he had heard from others about escorting goods.

Su Wanqing and Xiao Huan, mistress and servant respectively, had obviously never experienced these things before, and rarely even went out. They were quite surprised by these things in the martial arts world.

He occasionally let out a gasp or two of surprise.

Lamenting the cruelty of villains and yearning for the chivalry of heroes.

Listening to Shen Qingshu's description of the robbery, especially the villains who were not only not satisfied with robbing money, but also murdered, burned, and kidnapped women.

Xiao Huan visibly tensed up and timidly asked, "Then, Young Master Shen, will we encounter bandits this time as well?"

Shen Qingshu was amused by Xiao Huan's reaction and laughed, "Don't worry, when they see the flag of our Changfeng Escort Agency, ordinary villains won't dare to mess with them."

"Even those notorious gangsters have to think twice before admitting they have the power to back them up."

"And even if they dare to make a move against us, I will protect Miss Su... and you."

At this point, Shen Qingshu's gaze couldn't help but fall on Su Wanqing, and sensing something was amiss, he immediately added another sentence.

"After all, as the young head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) of Changfeng镖局 (escort agency), I can't let them ruin the agency's reputation."

Su Wanqing smiled gently, "With Mr. Shen's words, we feel much more at ease."

Xiao Huan was very polite, saying, "Young Master Shen is amazing."

They both agreed, especially Su Wanqing.

Shen Qingshu's smile widened, and he said smugly, "Of course, I am a first-rate martial artist. Don't be fooled by the number of people in our group; including me, there are only six truly first-rate martial artists."

"Making it mainstream?"

Seeing the puzzled looks on Su Wanqing's and the other person's faces.

Shen Qingshu gave a brief explanation of basic martial arts knowledge and then used an analogy: "For a qualified martial artist to fight against an unqualified one is no less than an adult fighting a child."

"Wow, Young Master Shen is really amazing."

Xiao Huan's eyes widened upon hearing this, and she then asked curiously, "Then... what about Young Master Lu?"

"Brother Sheng, he..."

Shen Qingshu paused for a moment, thinking of how Lu Sheng couldn't continue practicing after only one day. "...He has never practiced martial arts."

Xiao Huan exclaimed "Ah!" and immediately covered her mouth.

She realized she had said the wrong thing.

Sensing the slightly awkward atmosphere, Su Wanqing frowned slightly and looked at Xiao Huan seriously, saying, "Xiao Huan, watch your words."

Xiao Huan immediately admitted her mistake.

Shen Qingshu smiled and said, "It's alright, Brother Sheng won't mind."

Don't care?

What a joke.

Lu Sheng, sitting in the carriage behind, stared speechlessly at the carriage in front of him.

Even if the people were speaking in hushed tones, he could hear them clearly.

Otherwise, why would he always bully a little girl? He could hear Xiao Huan chirping at him from a distance.

When she was by his side, Xiao Huan was respectful, well-behaved, and spoke in a pleasant tone.

Once they were a distance away, she quietly recounted Lu Sheng's "misdeeds," feeling extremely indignant.

Lu Sheng happened to be bored and a bit petty, so he had to tease the other party.

The following days seemed to confirm Shen Qingshu's words; they were very uneventful, and he didn't encounter any robbers at all.

Occasionally, we encountered a few people who didn't look like good people, and they would hurriedly run away as soon as they saw the group.

It was as if the escort team was some kind of monstrous flood.

It was noon again.

The sun was shining brightly.

The experienced镖头 (bodyguard/escort) Dong led everyone to find a shady spot to stop and rest, planning to continue their journey later.

The journey is long, and it's impossible to reach the next stop within a day, so we have to spend the day in the wild.

Upon reaching the shady spot under the big tree, the coachman began feeding the horses manure and water, while the bodyguards and porters positioned themselves on the outer perimeter, surrounding Su Wanqing and the others in the center.

Suddenly, the bushes nearby rustled, instantly alerting everyone.

Shen Qingshu, who was chatting with Su Wanqing, looked over and asked, "Who's there?"

The henchman next to him drew his knife and cautiously walked towards the bushes.

He then stopped and turned around, smiling, "Young Master Escort, it's a wild rabbit."

Shen Qingshu laughed too, "I'll call it back and add it to the meal."

As he spoke, he took a few steps to the white horse, picked up his bow and arrows, and strode towards the bushes.

Lu Sheng, who was resting against a tree, suddenly opened his eyes and glanced in that direction.

As if he had also become interested, he stood up and ran after them, shouting as he ran, "Where, where, let me see."

The result was predictable.

The rabbit was frightened away and darted into the depths in a few steps, disappearing from sight.

Shen Qingshu had no choice; this wasn't Linjiang Prefecture, where he had hunting dogs at his disposal.

The newly nocked arrows can only be put into the quiver.

Shen Qingshu put away his bow, turned to look at the excited Lu Sheng, and reminded him, "Brother Sheng, you need to be gentler next time. Rabbits are easily startled."

Lu Sheng nodded in disappointment. "I thought we'd get to eat rabbit."

I had no choice but to go back to the tree.

Lu Sheng glanced in the direction he had just been.

If he wasn't mistaken, a figure flashed by over there.

There's probably something wrong with the rabbit.

interesting.

After waiting for so long, is the 'plot' finally about to begin?

Could this be the turning point in Shen Qingshu's life?

Kidnapped by enemies?

Lu Sheng was not in a hurry. Since the other party was already prepared to make a move, they would not give up so easily.

His job was to ensure Shen Qingshu's safety.

Also, it's best not to reveal yourself.

Lu Sheng guessed that he had interfered in the target's life too early, since he only got a B grade on the last mission.

So this time he's going to try other methods.

If there's really no other way, then he'll have to expose himself, since he'll still choose whether the mission succeeds or fails.
