Upon arriving, the son of the Duke of Wei took the initiative to express his wish to speak with Little Wu alone.
The two not only shunned Liu Jingming, but also the head guard's entourage.
The two stood in the greenhouse, neither of them speaking.
Finally, it was the illegitimate son of the Duke of Wei who spoke first, "You see, all these scoundrels around me, you're freer than me!"
Trying to appeal to emotions? Wu Youren wasn't buying it. "If you do this a couple more times, I won't be free either."
"Hehe," the head guard chuckled. He hadn't been here for the past two days because he had been working hard on the strategy.
The other person's reaction did not surprise him. "I've checked on everyone else too. Isn't that normal?"
"Normal? Heh," Wu Youren chuckled dismissively. Still so prone to talking to himself?
After a silence of more than ten seconds, he felt that he still needed to act a bit rebellious, otherwise, countless troubles awaited him.
"My lord, I think I told you what I wanted."
Please, just disappear from my sight as soon as possible, it's better for everyone!
"You can't even let go of Liu Jingming," the head guard said leisurely, "Then are you willing to see the Jin and Liang states at war again?"
"What does this have to do with me?" Wu Youren calmly retorted. "Don't hold me hostage; I just want to live."
The little guy really does care! The guard captain sighed, "Talking to you is really exhausting!"
"My life is actually very simple, and I don't ask for much... Please don't come looking for me anymore, okay?"
The boy practically choked out the last two words.
"I know you have grievances against the Hostage Prince Corps," the Duke of Wei's illegitimate son realized he could no longer try to extract information from him.
So he stated directly, "Leaving aside the team, speaking personally... I personally want to invest in you."
"Besides being the head of the guards, I'm also a hostage, just a bit older!"
"First, let's be clear: I have never wronged you in Jin Garden. The worst mistake I made was simply turning a blind eye to your suffering!"
"My lord, please don't do this," Wu Youren glanced at him warily, "You are Great Knight, this kind of respect... I am not worthy of it!"
"Treat me like I'm invisible, just like you did back in Jin Garden."
"I want to live too!" The captain of the guard looked at him calmly. "What if I told you that you are my only hope?"
Wu Youren remained silent, sensing a hint of resolve in the other person's words.
The head of the guards doesn't mention the Seventeenth Prince at all... This is really troublesome.
He could even sense a faint murderous intent—if he were to extinguish someone's only hope of survival, that would indeed be...
But it doesn't matter, as long as you have no bottom line, no one can do anything about it.
He smiled and said, "Then let's talk about investing. Let me make it clear first, I only do what I'm willing to do."
"Sure," the captain of the guard agreed without hesitation. "Tell me what you want."
Other protons lived in poverty, but he wasn't; he still had quite a bit of wealth.
Wu Youren remained silent for more than ten seconds before slowly speaking, "Ten Marching Stone."
It's not that he's asking for too much; it's that there are other things he can't have, as that would reveal his true needs.
"I... damn it," the guard captain wanted to curse, "Do you even know what you're saying?"
Return, return, return ten yuan?
Control your anger, control your anger, control your anger!
The Duke of Wei's illegitimate son took a deep breath, not wanting any more white smoke to rise from his head. "As expected, the Ability User still left?"
If it weren't for the Ability User system, there would be no way anyone would know the words " Marching Stone "!
Wu Youren calmly replied, " Commander Jeff of the New Army owes Instructor Hong Yan three Marching Stone... These must be good stuff, right?"
" The Eight Tigers of the New Army," the guard captain muttered under his breath, "This is the first time I've heard of this. If you ask me for a different condition, I won't!"
The boy looked at him with clear eyes, and after a long while, slowly shook his head, "It's gone!"
"That look of yours is really annoying!" The illegitimate son of the Duke of Wei's wife instantly became irritated.
Fortunately, he restrained himself and decisively revealed his most vulnerable trump card. "Let me give you a detailed list of everything I own."
"I dare not accept it," the boy shook his head firmly. "Guard captain, let's both have some self-respect, okay?"
"You... advise me to have some self-respect?" The captain of the guard wanted to control his anger, but he simply couldn't hold back!
The key point is that he was very clear that what he was doing was indeed too humble!
He laughed angrily, "You think I won't dare to retaliate? Little brat, you're killing my only chance of survival!"
"That's none of my business," Wu Youren shook his head decisively. "I find my own way to make a living; I don't rely on others."
The head guard suddenly had a good feeling. "You're really not afraid I'll take action?"
"I'm scared," the boy nodded, his eyes clear. "I'm very scared."
That look again! At the crucial moment, the head guard realized, "You really aren't afraid."
He's been really busy these past two days; he's basically grasped the other party's speaking and acting style.
Although he was very unconvinced, he thought, "Why aren't you afraid of me, the Great Knight?"
However, he understood one thing even more clearly: when outwitting and outmaneuvering such a monster, one must absolutely not let personal emotions get in the way.
"How about this, I have a small intelligence network in Tianjing, which can also provide material assistance."
He even stated that, apart from highly sensitive military supplies like Marching Stone, other rare and unusual items were not non-negotiable.
Wu Youren shook his head, "There aren't even any Marching Stone, what's the point of talking about it?"
"Are you never going to stop?" The head guard really wanted to control his anger, but he couldn't. He was only human, with emotions and desires too!
Sometimes I really want to just go all out and end it all.
The boy looked at him with sympathy. "Sir, if I may be so bold as to remind you, this is Red Pine!"
"So what?" The guard captain was so angry that his blood rushed to his head, his temples throbbed, and he really wanted to shout.
The website address for this novel is. ".". The website owner has only one website; other websites may be discontinued at any time.
"Do you think I'm afraid? Or are you saying, who's going to stop me from killing you?"
"Uh," Wu Youren could only offer another friendly reminder, "Some people are just bored and like to explore and get their bearings."
Hong Da has done this before, and more than once.
"You're overthinking it," the captain of the guard said, calming down a bit. "His Divine Might isn't here, and the Great Knight... who could be eavesdropping on me?"
The Red Pine actually possesses Divine Might? Wu Youren silently made a note of it. This matter could be learned slowly; there was no rush.
He spoke with clear eyes, "There are even stronger ones among the Red Pine, yes, that must be it."
"Isn't it just World-Left Weapon?" the guard captain said dismissively.
He really hated that kind of look, "As if the Jin didn't have one."
Luckily, my eyelids drooped quickly! Wu Youren lowered his eyelids and remained silent for a long time.
He had previously made related speculations.
But he wasn't sure if what posed such a huge threat to him wasn't a powerful cultivator! Or even a living being!
He had seen this kind of thing unleash its power before—at least in the Bellflower Mountain, where a suspected World-Left Weapon had demonstrated its power.
Hong Da forbade everyone to discuss it, and Chen Quanxu dared not even mention the existence of Red Pine.
His reaction was somewhat unusual, but the head guard didn't notice.
When chatting with the little guy, he had to constantly control himself to make sure no white smoke came out of his head!
A dozen seconds later, the boy, his eyelids drooping, asked, "Sir, you... aren't you even afraid of this?"
"Others may be afraid, but I'm not!" the guard captain replied without hesitation. "I already said, the Jin also has them."
The next moment, he seemed to realize something, "Huh?"
Fortunately, the boy reacted quickly, letting out a soft sigh, "So... I'm not a true Jin citizen?"
Wu Youren's words were somewhat sophistical and even suspected of being a form of kidnapping. He rarely did such things; it was clearly a desperate attempt to cover up his mistake.
Fortunately, the head guard didn't want to rack his brains any further.
He answered very frankly, "The protection of these World-Left Weapon is complicated to authenticate. If I hadn't come to the Jin..."
He didn't finish speaking, but he didn't need to.
Even ordinary illegitimate sons of dukes could not enjoy protection; one can imagine how limited the scope of those who could be recognized was.
Therefore, Chen Quanxu and Wu Youren only had the right to feel a real threat.
The boy shook his head. "You don't need to say anything. I know I'm not worthy."
At this moment, his mood was so bad that he didn't even bother to hide it.
Because he had foreseen a prospect that would plunge him into deep despair—that it wasn't just the border that was trapping the protons?
But to defeat the World-Left Weapon, the Divine Might Knight... the Foundation Establishment Realm is probably not enough!
He wasn't sure whether these two realms should be compared.
His own defined criterion was: Is it possible to fly physically?
Great Knight cannot fly without special means, and the same applies to those in the Qi Refining Stage, unless they possess special techniques.
The Divine Might Knight can indeed fly, as can the Foundation Establishment Realm —at least that's how it was in the cultivation world he came into contact with.
As for some cultivation worlds where one can fly at the high level of Qi Refining, or only at the Golden Core... which world doesn't have its own unique characteristics?
These comparisons of different levels across different systems are all his conjectures.
However, there is no doubt that his current strength within the Daoist system is enough to completely overwhelm the Knight.
It wouldn't be a bad idea to give the Great Knight a go!
Of course, this might be arrogant on his part, but would he dare speak to the head guard like that without some real confidence?
However, at the same time, he had personally felt threatened, and his intuition told him that even if Foundation Establishment, he could not defeat the World-Left Weapon.
How could this not plunge him into deep despair?
He was desperate, but the head guard was happy; he finally realized what the boy opposite him desperately needed.
He spoke calmly, "I also have a lot of information on these levels... um."
Come and beg me, come and beg me now!
No matter how exceptionally talented someone is, the gap in social class and perspective cannot be bridged by hard work alone!
However, the young man glanced at him and said, "I do lack this kind of information; you certainly have a lot... When are you returning to Jin?"
Stop talking nonsense, he's too lazy to argue with them.
The word "proton" seals off one's status; what use is a higher social class?
The truth is, he believes that if he reaches the Golden Core stage... or becomes Nation-Guarding Knight, or Great Ability User, returning to his country will be much easier.
You don't necessarily have to defeat the World-Left Weapon; as long as you escape, you can return home—didn't the Jin have that too?
Unfortunately, the captain of the guard was not swayed by him.
