The conversation about the head guard subtly brought the two closer together.
"There's nothing really between us," Scops Owl said calmly. "He has an intelligence network, which I've heard about to some extent."
"But after leaving Jin Garden, I never looked for him, because this person... is extremely selfish at heart!"
Wu Youren remained silent. Isn't selfishness a normal thing?
He was also very selfish. After going to the Martial Academy, he almost never contacted other hostages because he couldn't survive without doing so!
"His selfishness is different from what you think," Chen Quanxu guessed what he was thinking.
"If you have value to him, he won't care about the cost; but once you're no longer useful, he won't even give you a second glance!"
"You can plead for Liu Jingming, but he can't. Once Liu Jingming's warning is over, he's worthless, and he won't offend the Great Knight for it."
"I understand," Wu Youren nodded. "Very calculating, and a bit cold-blooded... Compared to him, I'm definitely lacking."
In all fairness, he really didn't intend to be a good person.
"You're right," Scops Owl nodded. "Later, I wasn't feeling well, so I couldn't go see him."
"I understand," the young man sighed softly, "You're useless now, but he... probably won't betray you."
After all, the son of the Duke of Wei often talked about the "national dignity of the Great Jin ".
"The consequences of betraying me are too severe; he doesn't have the guts," Chen Quanxu replied casually, "But he can take care of me discreetly."
"My existence is a threat to the Hostage Prince Corps. Eliminating me would also bring them a fortune, so why not?"
Wu Youren listened with longing, "I really envy that mindset; I want to be that kind of person too."
Surprisingly, Chen Quanxu wasn't angry. "Hmm, this kind of person lives a long life."
"Keep trying, I hope you succeed... just don't treat me like that."
"Forget it, I won't pretend anymore," Wu Youren admitted, adding that he wasn't really capable of doing it, "But it wouldn't hurt to get to know this kind of mentality."
"That's right, you can make contact," Chen Quanxu stated decisively, "But remember, don't entrust them to anyone."
"I understand," the boy nodded. "That's how most children of the powerful and wealthy are, unlike ordinary people like me who value loyalty and friendship."
"If you valued loyalty, would you have killed Intelligence Agency?" Chen Quanxu didn't hold back at all. "Stop bragging."
"I was just not being old-fashioned!" Wu Youren firmly disagreed with the accusation. "Besides, he made the mistake first, what does it have to do with me!"
"That's right," the Scops Owl nodded, "We're both almost shameless, let's work together."
Wu Youren nodded vigorously, "Let's encourage each other!"
After a moment of silence, Chen Quanxu spoke leisurely, "The process of your change in attitude was somewhat sudden... Is there an unedited version?"
The boy sighed. He had indeed blurred the image. "It's the reason you can't get into Red Pine, and he dared to say it out loud!"
"Of course he dares to say that!" Chen Quanxu understood instantly, but he couldn't stand it. "If I had a Duke as my father, I'd dare to say that too!"
"People like us from humble backgrounds can't compare to them!"
"I'm just an ordinary person!" the boy declared, unable to tolerate it any longer. "Your family was just removed from the country!"
Chen Quanxu speechless for a while before speaking, "Stop comparing misery, okay... Let's make a move while the orange seeds are still useful?"
Could this guy be plotting against me because he can't win an argument? Wu Youren couldn't help but think of this thought.
"How about this, didn't you say there's a place with a lot of Storage Eagle?"
"Since you're in your Scops Owl form right now, you can fight in the air. How about we give it a try and get a couple of Marching Stone?"
The Scops Owl remained silent for a full half minute before sighing, "Don't even mention it, that area is the breeding ground of the Hall of Extraordinary Masters!"
"Holy crap..." Wu Youren was speechless again.
At this moment, he could somewhat understand the mentality of Rogue Cultivator towards sects!
However, there was still a lingering sense of dissatisfaction. "They were able to breed the Weird Transformation Storage Eagle?"
"Let's raise them well first, then we'll take them to Weird Transformation," the Scops Owl replied casually. "I don't know the success rate, but we have plenty of backup resources."
"Damn it, some are dying of thirst while others are drowning in floods!" The boy couldn't help but exclaim.
Huh? Who said that again...? Hmm, I remember now, it was Liu Jingming!
"Stop nagging, let's go to the wilderness," Scops Owl didn't want to bring up the topic. "The car is all ready for you."
"No riding at night!" Wu Youren refused flatly, "It's too noisy..."
Chen Quanxu interrupted him directly, "Who told you there was a sound?"
The boy paused for a moment, then chuckled dryly, "The road... isn't safe either."
"Get in the car," Scops Owl said impatiently. "You trusted even Hao Wei, but you don't trust me?"
"This is really..." Wu Youren got into the car, started the engine, and was stunned. "Really no sound?"
"What do you think?" the Scops Owl replied arrogantly, "Isn't riding this thing troublesome?"
The boy was still a little suspicious, so he took the motorcycle for a spin first.
Without saying a word, he strapped two backpacks to his motorcycle and headed straight for the wilderness.
The motorcycle is not only silent, but also has excellent shock absorption.
On uneven terrain, speeds can easily reach 40 kilometers per hour.
This was at night; during the day, going 50 kilometers should be easy.
When the ride is bumpy, you still need a lot of arm and waist strength to control the vehicle and direction.
But for a martial artist, who lacks a little strength? It's still easier than carrying a heavy pack on the road.
Wu Youren used to think that Instructor Hong's motorcycle was cool, but this motorcycle was just as practical.
After riding at breakneck speed for a while and enjoying the exhilarating ride, he finally asked, "Was it made by Ability User?"
Besides the one with the Hong Da car that was related to the Ability User, he had also seen a special one—a young nobleman who crashed down from the sky.
This was the third one. Although he knew Chen Quanxu was Ability User, this gift still gave him a big surprise.
"A portion," the Scops Owl flew silently through the air, "Is meant to be spent!"
The website address for this novel is. ".". The website owner has only one website; other websites may be discontinued at any time.
The motorcycle was going very fast, but fortunately, both of them had good senses and were able to avoid danger in advance.
After riding for a while, the boy was a little reluctant to part with it. "Does this motorcycle have a criminal record?"
But with no other option, who would willingly carry several large backpacks on a long journey?
He didn't want to be high-profile before, but later, when he had the opportunity, he complained that motorcycles were noisy and couldn't go fast in the wilderness.
If it's this style of motorcycle, even if it's a bit flashy... it's not something I can't consider.
"There's nothing suspected," Scops Owl answered first, then immediately reversed course, "But it won't be investigated!"
"This is... well, never mind," Wu Youren smiled, "It's already very good. One should be content."
"It can also make motorcycle sounds," the Scops Owl added, "You can just switch it on."
In short, this vehicle can pass for a regular motorcycle on the road, but when it stops, it will be easily spotted by others.
Wu Youren went straight to the foot of the mountain, dug two more secret storages for supplies, and chose a cave to spend the night.
The next day, he wanted to ride a motorcycle and show off—who isn't a kid at heart?
Unfortunately, the Little Ha was too stubborn and refused to leave his shoulder.
Wu Youren could only hide in the cave to cultivate. Anyway, Chen Quanxu already knew a lot about his secrets, so a little more wouldn't make a difference.
He didn't set out until midnight, setting up the traps and parking his motorcycle not far away. He stood in the wasteland, quietly waiting for the Scops Owl to lure the monster.
This time the wait was a little longer; the other party said they needed to go into the mountains to lure monsters.
The scattered Weird Qi outside the mountain makes the drop rate too low. Although he came here to level up, he has no interest in killing people and delaying making money.
Wu Youren was quite patient; he knew the situation in the mountains was very dangerous.
The Divine Might Knight should be able to handle the strange situation here, but who knows what those high-ranking figures are up to?
He was somewhat envious of the Scops Owl, which could fly around freely, making it convenient to lure and kill monsters.
However, he waited for three whole hours, but the Scops Owl did not return.
Suddenly, various blurry lights appeared on the distant mountain ridge, followed by the faint sound of gunfire.
"Holy crap," Wu Youren muttered under his breath, "Are we really going to go this far?"
He guessed the Scops Owl might be up to no good, but... hopefully it wasn't it.
He was about five or six kilometers from the ridge, and seven or eight minutes later, the Scops Owl finally returned.
It circled in the air, seemingly saying, "This time you've made quite a commotion; you'd better make sure you get a good wipeout."
"I..." The boy glanced at the bushes not far away, where the motorcycle was hidden, "Can it run?"
"Are you betraying my adventure?" the Scops Owl snapped, "I'll use every trick in the book, and I'll take the Snow Harrier with me!"
Wu Youren paused for a moment, then asked in a deep voice, "What do you want to achieve?"
"It might confirm a hypothesis," the shadowy figure hovered overhead, "But it might not!"
The boy was silent for two seconds, then decisively uttered four words, "Useful to you?"
"Nonsense!"
"Alright!" Wu Youren raised his hand and forcefully grabbed Little Ha from his shoulder.
Although the little guy was asleep, his claws gripped him very tightly, and he even tore his clothes.
"Take it," he tossed Little Ha into the air, took a deep breath, and said, "Run faster!"
The Scops Owl caught the snow harrier in one swift motion. Although the two were similar in size, the former was a mature bird.
The dark figure, accompanied by the babbling husky Little Ha, vanished silently into the night.
In just about two minutes, a large amount of Weird Qi surged in, and then it spread out in an endless, vast expanse.
The light and the sounds of gunfire on the ridge are long gone, neither seen nor heard.
Between heaven and earth, only endless chill and boundless sobs remained...
Wu Youren took a deep breath, slowly drew the long sword from behind him, and slightly adjusted his internal energy.
With his iconic Little Ha no longer on his shoulder, he can truly unleash his full potential without too many worries.
The next moment, a putrid stench assaulted our senses.
The boy gripped a long sword, forcing out three words through gritted teeth, " Chen Quanxu!"
Within the rushing, Weird Qi, there were hundreds of gray orbs of light floating erratically in the air.
Inside the ball of light were various human remains, the most numerous of which were human heads!
(I've finally got the 10,000-word-per-day badge, time to relax a bit. It's almost the end of the month, so there will be an extra chapter at midnight as usual. I'm counting down the monthly votes for next month.)
