#710 - He doesn't care
Green Dragon Mountain wasn't far from here; if Lu Jing called Ge Ping and the others over, it would only take about a day.
But the problem was that there were too many chaotic demonic figures in Xia Yi County right now.
If someone noticed him moving weapons, armor, and gold ingots, and suspected that he had obtained the inheritance of the Myriad Wonders Sect, especially if they secretly followed Ge Ping and the others to his territory, then he probably wouldn't have any peace in the future.
Earthen forts could withstand thousands of elite soldiers, but they couldn't stop the infiltration of martial arts masters.
So, what was a way to move the things in this treasure trove without anyone knowing?
He should resolve this matter before dawn.
Once he made up his mind, Lu Jing dragged the corpse of the young man surnamed Ruan into the treasure trove, then jumped onto the pavilion and adjusted the positions of the four corners, so that the treasure trove closed again. After that, he rushed to Xia Yi County as quickly as possible.
It was the middle of the night, and the city gates of Xia Yi County were already closed.
Fortunately, this was just a small county, and the height of the city walls, the number of guards on the walls, and their vigilance were far inferior to those of the larger cities.
Lu Jing cast a Light Body Technique on himself, chose a section of the city wall with few guards, and easily climbed into the city.
However, he was now a bit puzzled.
He had refused so readily before and hadn't asked the woman where she lived or what her name was, so it wouldn't be easy to find her now.
Lu Jing could only put himself in someone's shoes and carefully consider the situation.
As a result, after running to three taverns, he really saw Sun Huo Xing in a corner, drowning his sorrows with a dish of peanuts and a plate of braised beef.
This works?
Lu Jing was impressed. This guy was really drinking alone here.
He walked over and sat down in front of Sun Huo Xing.
He picked up a pair of chopsticks and put a peanut in his mouth.
Sun Huo Xing didn't even look up, and only exhaled a mouthful of alcohol and said, "Get lost, don't bother me!"
Lu Jing didn't move, and picked up a slice of beef.
Sun Huo Xing said again, "Heh heh, I'm in a bad mood right now, you better not force me to kill someone."
"Unfortunately, drinking alone won't make you feel better."
Sun Huo Xing heard that the voice was a bit familiar, and finally raised his face. He was stunned when he saw that it was Lu Jing, and immediately said awkwardly, "Ah, I didn't mean that... I didn't know you came here."
"I was a little worried about you, so I thought about it and came over."
Sun Huo Xing couldn't help but be a little touched, "I know you refused me before for my own good. I can deceive people for a while, but not forever, and once a lie starts, I can only use more lies to cover it up. Speaking of which, it's all my fault. Because of temporary vanity, I'm now tasting the bitter fruit."
"So, have you thought about what to do?"
Sun Huo Xing nodded, "I'm going to find her and explain everything clearly. If she's willing to live on Green Dragon Mountain, that would be great. If she's not willing, then I... then I'll stay here and protect her in secret."
"Not bad, responsible!" Lu Jing gave a thumbs up.
Sun Huo Xing took a deep breath, tossed a tael of silver to the waiter who was dozing off to the side, and then was about to get up to find someone, but was stopped by Lu Jing.
"Wait, are you going like this?"
"What?" Sun Huo Xing was a little dazed. He looked himself up and down, "Is there something wrong?"
"Although your appearance and height are given by your parents and can't be changed, you're about to meet your sweetheart. You should at least tidy yourself up a bit, take a bath, change into clean clothes, get rid of the alcohol smell, oh right... and bring a gift."
Sun Huo Xing nodded repeatedly, but then hesitated, "Clothes are easy to say, I can just buy a set of ready-made clothes at a tailor shop, but this gift... what should I bring?"
Then he took out his money bag and counted the money inside, feeling a little embarrassed, "I left in a hurry this time and didn't bring too much money. Lu Daxia, can you lend me some first?"
Lu Jing was waiting for him to say this, and said, "I don't have much money on me either, but luckily I just made a lot of money. Let's go get it together."
Sun Huo Xing also sensed something was wrong at this time, and asked suspiciously, "It's so late, where... where did you make money from?"
"I found a place where there are gold ingots everywhere."
"There's such a good place in this world?" Sun Huo Xing said, pondered for a while, and suddenly gasped, "You, you, you... found that treasure trove of the Myriad Wonders Sect?!"
"Yes, but there's not much silver inside. I estimate it's worth several tens of thousands of taels, plus some weapons and armor. I won't hide it from you, I need someone to help me move the things inside, and you happen to have Fire Escape, so I can only trouble you to make a trip."
"After it's done, I'll give you ten thousand taels as a settlement fee for you and your sweetheart. How about it, is this gift sincere enough?"
"The relationship between me and Miss Qi is not something that money can tarnish!" Sun Huo Xing said angrily.
Lu Jing put his arm around his shoulder, "I know, I know, I didn't say that your Miss Qi is greedy for money. You've been communicating for so long, what attracts each other must be your inner selves."
"But I also ask you to think carefully from Miss Qi's perspective. You already know each other very well, but that's ultimately just understanding on paper. Besides, you lied to her about your height and appearance. This is your first meeting, a real meeting."
"Shouldn't you try to show your best side to each other? Whether it's martial arts, wealth, or something else, if you want her to go with you, you have to have something that can make her feel at ease."
"You can't do nothing, just stand there and tell her that I have a sincere heart. Then hope that she can recognize your talent, that's... that's something you can slowly feel through daily interactions later."
Sun Huo Xing sighed, "You convinced me. Although I know you just want me to move things for you, you still convinced me. I only have one question left, is there anything in that treasure trove that Mr. Ji cares about?"
"No." Lu Jing asserted.
"Really?" Sun Huo Xing was dubious, "Is this matter not related to him?"
"It's related," Lu Jing said, "If there are no accidents, that treasure trove was created by him, but he really doesn't care about the things inside."
"How is that possible?"
"Because the thing he cares about is already in my hands."
"........."
