Chapter 110: Chapter 86: "Great Immortal, You Even Know How to Pronounce the Grandma of Western Words!

After he finished speaking, Song Chi turned to Lu Yuan, who was off to the side, and offered a slight bow.

"Brother Lu Yuan, regarding my sister... I really can’t thank you enough.

What I said earlier wasn’t directed at you. It’s just that leading troops into battle is no child’s play. You can’t be reckless.

This mission to exterminate the bandits is incredibly important to both me and my sister. If we fail, things will go badly for both of us.

I must be going. Once this is all over, I’ll find you, and we’ll have a proper drink!"

With that, Song Chi walked right out of the tent.

This made Song Meiqin frown in annoyance.

Lu Yuan, however, simply stood by, his expression calm.

Lu Yuan understood.

’What’s this like? It’s like being a high school senior at the top of their game.’

’You’ve done ten thousand practice exams, but then some middle schooler comes along and tells you, "You don’t have what it takes. I could get into Harvard with my eyes closed."’

’Would you believe them?’

’Besides, Song Meiqin had just been hyping him up way too much.’

’To be fair, Lu Yuan did think he was quite exceptional.’

’But...’

’The way Song Meiqin was talking about him just now... it was as if he were a god descended from the heavens.’

’Maybe that’s really how he seemed in her eyes.’

’But hearing it made Lu Yuan’s face flush with embarrassment.’

’It’s too much, really. The way she was boasting... even I can’t listen to it anymore.’

’No wonder Song Chi couldn’t stand it.’

’However, Song Chi wasn’t entirely blameless either.’

’Song Meiqin hadn’t said that Lu Yuan should command the troops, or that her brother should obey Lu Yuan’s every word.’

’She just said that Lu Yuan’s sixty-man Firearms Team was very formidable.’

’Their sixty Flintlock Guns could be a huge help.’

’His men were right outside. They could have shown Song Chi just what a Flintlock Gun could do.’

’But Song Chi refused to believe it. He wouldn’t even take a look.’

’He just took off.’

"He’s been as stubborn as a bull since he was a child. It’s so infuriating!!"

Song Meiqin said, standing where she was and glaring angrily at the entrance of the large tent.

Meanwhile, Lu Yuan stood in the center of the tent, carefully studying the Waterway Map.

"Yuan’Er, why don’t we just go back? Let’s not get involved. He can figure it out on his own."

Song Meiqin came to Lu Yuan’s side, tugging his arm as she spoke softly.

It was clear that Song Meiqin was still very worried about her brother.

She knew how much trouble he was in.

But with Song Chi being so unappreciative, there was nothing she could do.

Lu Yuan studied the map for another moment before looking up at Song Meiqin with a smile.

"Let’s just hang out here for a bit."

"There’s nothing much to do back home, and the New Year is still over ten days away."

Hearing Lu Yuan say this made Song Meiqin delighted.

Song Meiqin had wanted to stay, too. Even if she couldn’t be of any real help, she felt it was better to at least be here to watch.

Besides, if things were still going poorly in a few days, she could try talking to her brother again.

’Maybe if he runs out of options, he’ll be willing to use Lu Yuan’s Firearms Team.’

’Although the Firearms Team only has sixty men, so it’s not certain what difference they can make.’

’But Song Meiqin just had this inexplicable faith in Lu Yuan.’

But it was cold here, and she had been afraid Lu Yuan wouldn’t be comfortable, which was why she had suggested leaving.

Now that Lu Yuan himself said he wanted to stay, Song Meiqin was overjoyed and nodded eagerly.

Meanwhile, Su Liyan watched her man’s expression, blinking her beautiful and bewitching eyes.

’Hmm...’

Finally, the group left the large tent.

Before leaving, Song Chi had arranged tents for them.

Song Chi’s message was simple: they could stay if they wanted. After all, Song Meiqin was his sister.

He couldn’t bring himself to kick his own sister out.

However, Song Chi wouldn’t be visiting them.

That way, he could avoid having Song Meiqin bring up the subject again.

In truth, there was nothing wrong with Song Chi’s attitude. After all, how could a general leading an army in the field just listen to any random person’s advice?

If he didn’t have a mind of his own, he’d be useless in a fight.

"You all head back and get warm. I’m going to see if I can find a place to fish."

As he spoke, Lu Yuan headed toward the large tent where the Zhao Family nursing home staff and Travelers were staying.

The three women all knew about Lu Yuan’s love for fishing.

No one said anything more.

Only Su Liyan, as she walked back with Zhao Qiao’Er and Song Meiqin, watched her man’s retreating back, a thoughtful expression on her face.

Arriving at the quarters for the Zhao Family’s Travelers and nursing home staff, Lu Yuan found the old steward and grinned.

"Uncle Li, could you grab a few men to go for a look around with me?"

The old steward was taken aback for a moment, then replied:

"Of course."

Afterwards, Lu Yuan borrowed a small boat from the military camp. He, the old steward, and two members of the nursing home staff—four people in total—rowed out of the main camp.

Along the way, Lu Yuan directed them, telling them where to row.

The old steward sat beside him, watching.

But the longer he watched, the more the old steward felt that something was off.

’This...’

’Why does the young master... seem so familiar with this area?’

’Is it because he saw the Waterway Map in the main tent earlier?’

’But beyond that, the old steward felt that the young master also seemed to know the general lay of the land.’

’Something just feels... strange...’

Soon, they had been rowing for quite some time.

As they rounded a bend, they came face-to-face with another small boat.

An old acquaintance was on board.

Daoist Longchuan!

Lu Yuan stared at Daoist Longchuan, completely baffled.

And Daoist Longchuan was just as baffled to see Lu Yuan.

Huh??

The two men stared at each other, then, with a tacit understanding, each had their boatman stop rowing.

Finally, when the two small boats drew parallel, both men rose to greet one another.

After a bit of conversation, Lu Yuan learned the situation.

These bandits were worshipping an evil spirit.

In the Divine Ling Empire, this wasn’t considered anything unusual.

Or rather, in this world, it would be stranger if people who did such vicious deeds *didn’t* worship an evil spirit.
