Mu Ningxue suddenly walked up to Lü Cheng, who was sitting alone on the reef.
"Mm." Lü Cheng nodded.
After Ye Xinxia witnessed him and Ye Chang that morning, Ye Chang said something to Ye Xinxia, and then the girl said that she wanted to go to Parthenon, that she wanted to help him, and that she didn't want to be like before, completely unaware beforehand, powerless during the process, and only able to offer a few unimportant words of concern afterward.
"Are you sure you want her to go?" Mu Ningxue asked.
"What's there to worry about? Besides, I can't exactly stop her, can I?" Lu Cheng shrugged.
“Everyone has to have something they want to do in life. This is the first time she has shown such a firm attitude in all her life, so of course I have to support her.”
Ye Chang most likely revealed some of the past to Ye Xinxia. The girl said that there were some things she wanted to do herself.
Moreover, Ye Xinxia didn't go alone; Ye Chang went with her.
Of course, Ye Chang wasn't doing this to help her own daughter; the older sister was doing it to legitimately hide from her mother.
Having lied to his mother for over ten years, this matter won't be easily forgotten. At least, Ye Chang won't dare to come back until his mother's anger subsides.
Perfect timing! Ye Chang plans to deal with the Black Vatican's mole herself, so he won't have to worry about it.
He naturally believed in Salang's methods.
He's not some street thug leader; there's no need for him to do everything himself.
"Acheng, what are you two whispering about?"
Jiang Shaoxu approached with a smile and squatted down next to Lü Cheng.
"Let's discuss how to get there," Lü Cheng quickly changed the subject.
Jiang Shaoxu was actually hoping his harem would catch fire so she could hide on the sidelines and watch the show!
"Oh?" Jiang Shaoxu smiled and put her arm around Lü Cheng.
"So what have you discussed?"
Mu Ningxue frowned and left Lü Cheng with a resolute back view.
Lu Cheng's eye twitched slightly. "Don't mess with me."
"What? You can't even handle this little situation?" Jiang Shaoxu said with a smile.
"Then you'd better be careful, otherwise you might fall asleep and get stabbed without even knowing it."
"Then you'll have to help me out. If I get stabbed, you'll become a little widow." Lu Cheng stood up.
"It's okay, I don't mind," Jiang Shaoxu said with a smile.
"Besides, a young widow can remarry."
"Remarry?" Lü Cheng raised an eyebrow. "Who would want you?"
"What kind of talk is that? I'm not worried about getting married." Jiang Shaoxu had an expression that said, "I'm very popular."
"Oh, congratulations then." Lü Cheng turned and walked towards the shore.
Jiang Shaoxu was taken aback.
You're jealous already?
"Hey! Don't be angry." Jiang Shaoxu quickly caught up.
"I won't marry him, I'll be your widow, okay?"
"Wives? It seems you really want me to die." Lü Cheng didn't even turn his head.
Jiang Shaoxu's eye twitched.
My initiative has been taken away?
"Captain, what should we do next?"
On the shore, before Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan could speak, Nan Rongni approached Lü Cheng as he walked over.
“Simple.” Lu Cheng waved to the air, and a small black dot quickly swooped down.
"Uh..." Mo Fan's eye twitched slightly upon seeing the familiar summoned beast.
"You're not suggesting we fly across this entire sea to get there, are you?"
“Crossing the sea by air is extremely dangerous,” Nan Jue said.
"Especially when passing through the deep sea area, it is very easy to be attacked by hordes of demons."
"Moreover, the air route is maintained by dedicated personnel, and there are very strict customs checks on the other side. We cannot reveal our identities. If we fly directly there, we will be caught as soon as we land if we are lucky, and we will have to go home halfway if we are unlucky."
"Captain, I think you must have considered these issues, right?"
"..."
……
Downtown Asuka City.
Since Lü Cheng's plan failed, everyone decided to turn to the Lin Group, who could provide them with smuggling services.
Too lazy to worry about it, Lü Cheng directly appointed Ai Jiangtu and Nan Jue, both graduates of military academies, as deputy captains to be responsible for solving the current problem.
Ai Jiangtu and his companion acted swiftly. After negotiating with Lin Junxian, the boss of the Lin Group, they obtained a mission to clear out the coastal demons, as well as a temporary base and supplies for the team.
The following day, on the slightly murky sea, a white ship slowly sailed out of the Anjie waters.
"Should we use the Demon Gathering Device?"
On the deck, as they were about to reach their destination, Nan Jue looked at Lü Cheng.
She had already witnessed Lü Cheng's exaggerated combat power back in Zhuoyuan, where he could even fight against a monarch-level Sand Bone Dragon.
According to the intelligence provided by Lin Junxian, there are obviously no monarch-level sea monsters in this sea area, and even if there are commander-level sea monsters, their strength would not be too great.
"Wouldn't this be too dangerous?" Ai Jiangtu asked hesitantly.
"Danger?" Lu Cheng looked puzzled.
"Who?"
Ai Jiangtu's eye twitched slightly. "You're the captain, can't you think more about everyone else?"
Lu Cheng's strength is indeed not a concern for commander-level sea monsters, but they are unsure of the number of sea monsters here. Moreover, this is at sea, and there are very few people in this team who are skilled in naval warfare. If they are unlucky and summon several groups of monsters, Lu Cheng may not be able to take care of the other team members. In that case, there will be casualties in this team.
"I believe in you!" Lü Cheng said earnestly.
"Don't worry about me, just use the Demon Gathering Device here!"
Nan Jue looked puzzled. "So, I really used it?"
"Don't listen to his jokes!" Jiang Shaoxu lunged forward and covered Lü Cheng's mouth.
"Let's see what's going on first."
“Okay.” Nan Jue shrugged.
She was just asking because with their small group, facing a whole clan of sirens would be too dangerous. They wouldn't be worried on land, but this was at sea, and most of them weren't good at naval warfare.
If things accidentally turn into a war of attrition, the siren will call for reinforcements, but they will be isolated and helpless, and it's not impossible that they will be worn down to death in the end.
"Nan Jue! I am the captain!" Lü Cheng pushed Jiang Shaoxu aside.
“I’m still the captain’s wife!” Jiang Shaoxu said.
"Don't listen to him. If something really happens later, this guy will definitely just stand by and watch the show!"
Nan Jue's expression froze.
Goodness, I almost forgot about Lü Cheng's temper.
If Mu Ningxue, Jiang Shaoxu, Zhao Manyan, Mo Fan, and Jiang Yu are in danger, Lü Cheng will definitely help them. But for the others, Lü Cheng will most likely just pretend he didn't see anything!
“What do you mean? Do I look like that kind of person?” Lu Cheng asked.
"I'm the captain!"
Do you think I would just stand by and watch someone die?
"..."
Ai Jiangtu and the other two looked at each other without responding.
it is more than words.
Chapter 155 Blood is Thicker than Water
157.
……
Arrived at the rocky island.
Since Nan Jue and the others opposed the plan to use the Demon Gathering Device, Lü Cheng had no choice but to abandon the speedrun plan and return to his travel mode.
"Is this guy really here for training?"
Li Kaifeng and the others were very unhappy with Lü Cheng's behavior. As the team leader, he was even more lax than Jiang Shaoxu, and he was practically just going through the motions the whole time.
