Hold Steady, Don't Panic

"I hope it starts in one hour."

Lu Shui's Voice was very soft. Though Zhen Wu heard it clearly, he thought Lu Shui was talking about the train.

So he said,

"Problems generally won't arise. The Mo Family is quite punctual."

Lu Shui was somewhat puzzled. Why had Zhen Wu suddenly brought that up?

But he could only nod.

Lu Shui had discovered the Formation Restriction, but he did not leave. They were merely a few formations; there was no need for him to avoid them.

If that person insisted on activating them within this hour, then they could only count themselves unlucky.

Afterward, Zhen Ling set off to buy supplies. They still needed to eat tonight, and the train did not sell such things, so they could only prepare them themselves.

Zhen Wu stayed behind to protect Lu Shui.

Lu Shui stirred the coffee before him with a spoon and said,

"If something happens later, don't panic too much."

Those formations were about to activate. It seemed the other party's luck was not very good; he just did not know who their target was.

There were still Many People in the Cafe, and they were mostly cultivators.

It was hard to say whether there were any people of special status among them.

Zhen Wu looked at Lu Shui in confusion. He did not understand what Lu Shui meant. What did he mean, not to panic if something happened?

But he quickly came up with an explanation. Lu Shui was probably saying it deliberately, to show off his status and ability.

Zhen Wu could only nod at that.

"Yes, young master."

Lu Shui's Heart sighed. Zhen Wu was humoring him.

But it did not matter.

Looking at the coffee before him, Lu Shui decided to drink it, lest it splash all over him later.

Just as Lu Shui Picked Up the coffee, an Explosion Sound suddenly rang out.

Boom!!!

The tremendous explosion startled everyone, and the aura of power spread in their direction.

Zhen Wu immediately frowned.

"Zhen Ling's aura?"

He was somewhat worried.

"If you're worried, go take a look." Lu Shui drank his coffee as he spoke softly.

Lu Shui did not know what relationship Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling had, but These Two People truly had a good relationship.

Lu Shui Glanced at Zhen Wu and found him hesitating.

But he soon saw Zhen Wu calm down.

"No. Zhen Ling isn't a reckless person. If she encounters danger, she'll retreat.

I'll stay and protect you, young master, in case they are deliberately luring the tiger from the mountain." Zhen Wu said to Lu Shui.

Lu Shui gave Zhen Wu another look, then said Nothing at All and continued drinking his coffee.

However, the Explosion Sound grew more frequent, and the people in the Cafe kept fleeing.

It was never wrong to stay far from the center of a battle.

Yet before most of them had escaped the formation outside the Cafe, it activated directly.

With a bang, all of them were shoved back inside.

They fell across the floor in a scattered mess.

Lu Shui's Coffee Cup trembled twice as well. Fortunately, he had nearly finished it, or it would have splashed all over him.

He looked at the coffee and sighed inwardly. Sure enough, coffee was not very good. Next time, he should put on an elegant act and drink tea.

"Young master, something is wrong here. Don't move recklessly." Zhen Wu gripped his Jian and watched the surroundings vigilantly.

He had never expected something like this to happen here.

The fighting outside was one thing, but there was actually a Formation Imprisonment here.

He even suspected that someone was targeting them.

If that was truly the case, then with his strength, he might not be able to protect Lu Shui.

Seek help?

No, it was still too early.

Zhen Wu's expression naturally fell into Lu Shui's eyes, and he said,

"Don't panic. They probably aren't targeting us."

As he spoke, Lu Shui continued eating the small pastries on the Tabletop.

Others had fallen to the ground, while he alone sat there quietly eating.

Zhen Wu was Stunned when he heard Lu Shui's words.

He remembered what Lu Shui had said earlier, telling him not to panic too much.

Had young master known something would happen here beforehand?

It was just a coincidence, right?

It had to be.

Afterward, Zhen Wu stood By Lu Shui's Side, maintaining his vigilance as he calculated how to leave this place.

It was clear they could not stay here long.

After waiting a while, Lu Shui looked toward the entrance. Three People walked in from outside.

A Middle-aged Man led Two People wearing masks. Judging from their builds, they were One Man and One Woman.

The moment they entered, they looked toward Lu Shui. Who could blame them? Lu Shui was so conspicuous, still eating.

Yet they did not approach Lu Shui. Instead, they seized a girl and said,

"Tell us. Where is it?"

"I—I Don't Know." That girl said with difficulty, "We split up."

Bang!

They threw the girl onto the floor.

"Search."

The Two People behind him immediately began searching, checking everyone one by one.

Zhen Wu was somewhat baffled.

"They aren't weak cultivators. Why aren't they fighting back?"

"Because they can't use it." Naturally, Lu Shui answered him. He set down his cup and said, "That formation just now did not merely imprison this place; it also imprisoned cultivation.

Everyone inside will be affected by this formation, which is why those people waited before coming in.

Imprisonment takes time.

Don't test your cultivation. The reason you're unaffected is because you're by my side."

Just as Zhen Wu was about to check his cultivation, Lu Shui directly interrupted him.

Zhen Wu was rather surprised. He had not expected Lu Shui to know so much, or to make him unaffected by the formation.

He quickly guessed the reason. The clan leader and Madam Clan Leader must have been worried and given Lu Shui a powerful magic treasure.

Lu Shui did not care what Zhen Wu thought, because it seemed they were about to have trouble.

The search over there had already concluded, and the answer was naturally not what the Middle-aged Man wanted.

He was walking toward Lu Shui.

"You two, please cooperate."

The Middle-aged Man spoke coldly.

Lu Shui looked at him.

"What are you looking for?"

He merely asked out of curiosity. It did not matter if they did not answer.

The Middle-aged Man looked at the book before Lu Shui and said,

"A Mysterious Book."

Lu Shui Lowered His Head and glanced at Heaven and Earth Array Patterns. This was also a Mysterious Book; he did not know whether it was Not Worse Than the one they sought.

"Hand over the book." The Middle-aged Man extended his hand for it.

Though he did not know whether the book in front of the other party was the Mysterious Book, taking it was always the right choice.

Lu Shui looked at the Middle-aged Man.

"Aren't you going to ask who I am?"

"No matter who you are, once you've taken the Mysterious Book, don't even think of walking out of here alive," the Middle-aged Man said.

"Because I read the book's contents?" Lu Shui asked.

"It's good that you understand. I'll leave you an intact corpse," the Middle-aged Man said.

Lu Shui nodded.

"Understood. Then I have Nothing at All to say."

Lu Shui then rose, By The Way Picking Up his Heaven and Earth Array Patterns.

The Middle-aged Man smiled faintly. He found this person quite sensible.

But he soon could not smile, because he discovered that the other party was not handing him the book. Instead, Lu Shui left his seat and walked outside, saying something infuriating as he went.

"Leave them intact corpses."

The Middle-aged Man Angrily Said,

"You don't know the height of heaven or the depth of earth. Since you want to die so badly, I'll grant your wish."

As he spoke, he intended to use a magic treasure to kill Lu Shui. Yet just as he was about to act, he was suddenly Stunned. The Two People in masks were Stunned as well.

To their shock, they discovered they could no longer use their cultivation.

Then they realized that the formation imprisoning cultivation had somehow activated.

"H-how could this happen?"

"When did this happen?"

At this moment, Zhen Wu acted.

Naturally, he was following Lu Shui's words.

Sword Light flashed, and three figures fell.
