The Qingyuan mountain range is located at the southernmost part of Baishui City. After leaving Qingshui Town, Lu Fan arrived at the Qingyuan mountain range. According to the map, it was a necessary passage to Baishui City.
However, Lu Fan was not familiar with the map of this world. There was a red mark on the map, pointing directly to the Qingyuan mountain range.
Within the Qingyuan mountain range, a caravan of dozens of people stopped. In the scorching summer heat, their faces were dripping with sweat.
"Miss, we'll be reaching Wulong Town soon!"
A middle-aged man walked over. "But there are many bandits in the Qingyuan mountain range. If they target us, our silks will be in trouble!"
"This is the silk of the Lin family from Wulong Town. Don't they fear it?"
Lin Miaoke frowned. "They don't even put my Lin family in their eyes?"
"Miss, you may not know, but this is a lawless zone. If we really encounter bandits, don't confront them head-on!"
Uncle Biao said, "Although these silks are important, life is more important."
"We have four or five Spirit Masters among us, why should we fear them!"
Lin Miaoke said directly, "Moreover, our Lin family's reputation is well-known. Even if someone has ill intentions, they have to consider it carefully."
Uncle Biao showed an embarrassed expression. The Lin family of Wulong Town was indeed not an ordinary family; it could even be said to be the foremost in Wulong Town. However, he also knew very well that mountain bandits would not care about that.
"Miss, you might not know, these mountain bandits are not ordinary mountain bandits!"
A man spoke, "Some of them are cultivators, and their strength is not weak. It is rumored that not long ago, a family was robbed here, resulting in destroyed carriages and dead people, and all their belongings were taken!"
"Then who will manage it?" Lin Miaoke frowned.
"Bandits are everywhere like this, how can they all be managed!"
Uncle Biao smiled faintly. "But fortunately, we are escorting silks and have nothing else. I think the bandits won't be interested."
With these words, Lin Miaoke nodded slightly and didn't say anything more.
Actually, this was his first day escorting a convoy as a Spirit Master. If he could complete it smoothly, he would be able to escort convoys with Uncle Biao and the others, and then he would be famous throughout Wulong Town.
This had always been his goal: to become the foremost among the younger generation in Wulong Town, and even to advance to Baishui City.
As they were talking, Lu Fan passed by. Seeing several figures ahead, he walked forward.
However, at this moment, many of the Lin family's guards became vigilant and looked at Lu Fan, wondering who he was.
"Stop!"
"Everyone, please don't misunderstand. I just want to ask for directions!"
Lu Fan quickly said, "I wonder if this is the correct way to go!"
"Young man, this is not a suitable place for you to ask for directions!"
Uncle Biao said, "I advise you not to get too close. This is where we are escorting our goods!"
"I see!"
Lu Fan smiled awkwardly. "It was my oversight!"
After speaking, Lu Fan prepared to move forward. He was just a little unsure. Since the other party was so vigilant, it was not good for him to approach directly. Su Dan Novel Network
"There are bandits in the Qingyuan mountain range. It might be quite dangerous for you to travel alone!"
Lin Miaoke said, "Why don't you come with us? That way, we can travel together."
"This might not be appropriate!"
Lu Fan smiled and looked at the Lin family guards. These people looked vigilant and seemed unfriendly towards him.
"Miss, his origins are unknown. It might not be appropriate to let him join us!" Uncle Biao said, "I have been escorting goods for so many years without any mishaps. I am thorough in everything, and this person is highly suspicious and cannot be trusted."
Lu Fan shrugged helplessly. He had not wanted to travel with them in the first place, and now that they said this, he felt even more helpless.
"I don't think he looks like a bad person!"
Lin Miaoke said directly, "If he were a bad person, he wouldn't have come here alone. Moreover, he has an upright demeanor, so how could he be a mountain bandit!"
"Miss, you are too inexperienced and don't understand many things!"
Uncle Biao shook his head. "Out here, listen to me, and there will be no mistakes."
"Uncle Biao, don't forget, I am the one from the Lin family!"
Lin Miaoke frowned and said coldly, with great dissatisfaction. After all, no matter what, she was the young lady of the Lin family. If she couldn't even make this decision, wouldn't she be a mere decoration?
"Please, Miss, reconsider!"
Many of the Lin family guards clasped their fists, their eyes becoming serious. They knew very well that such behavior was quite dangerous.
"As I said, I will take full responsibility if anything happens!"
Lin Miaoke's expression was cold. "If you speak out like this again, you are disregarding my authority!"
Everyone was stunned and helpless. After all, they dared not disobey Lin Miaoke's words.
"Since Miss insists, we naturally obey Miss's orders!"
Uncle Biao said repeatedly, and then looked at Lu Fan. "Since we are traveling together, let's go together! We can also help each other. However, we are from the Lin family of Wulong Town, so don't have any ulterior motives!"
"Naturally not!"
Lu Fan smiled awkwardly. He had originally planned to leave, but now it seemed it was not the time.
Upon approaching, Uncle Biao asked, "Which town are you from?"
"I..."
Lu Fan was stunned. He did not belong to any town.
Seeing Lu Fan hesitate, Uncle Biao became more vigilant. "What, can't you even answer this?"
"I am from Qingshui Town!"
Lu Fan smiled. "Your question caught me off guard, and I didn't plan to travel with you. Even if I did, you wouldn't be able to help me much if we encountered threats!"
"You have a big mouth, kid!"
A guard said coldly, "We are from the Lin family, and Uncle Biao is a Nine-star expert!"
Uncle Biao looked proud and did not put Lu Fan in his eyes. In the entire Baishui City, those who could reach Nine-star were not ordinary people.
"Alright, alright!"
Lin Miaoke said, "Can you be a little more low-key? After all, no matter what, we still have to travel together later!"
Uncle Biao nodded slightly and didn't say much more. Since Lin Miaoke had spoken, he would do as she said.
"This is a specialty of our Wulong Town. Would you like to try some!"
Lin Miaoke held a flatbread and came to Lu Fan's side.
"Thank you!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly, took the flatbread, and began to eat it slowly.
"By the way, you are escorting goods, right?"
Lu Fan chuckled. "How much money can you earn on this trip?"
"Every time we escort goods, my father settles the accounts, so I don't know!" Lin Miaoke shook her head.
