“Of course I believe you, Lord,” Peng Jiuyuan said.

Zhou Shu didn’t know if he really believed him.

Peng Jiuyuan said hesitantly, “I’ve already dealt with the village chief, but Lord, the village chief and the others are easy to deal with. When the big shots of the Dong family arrive, I’m afraid they won’t believe me easily. Lord, you’re not from the Zhu Rong Heavenly Kingdom after all…”

“What do you mean?” Zhou Shu looked at Peng Jiuyuan calmly.

“Now, the experts of the Dong family have sealed off the nearby towns. If we leave Boundary Bridge Village now, we might encounter them directly. But if we stay here, when they search the village, you will also be discovered by them…”

“Lord, do you want to go to the back mountain to hide for a period of time? After this matter is over, I’ll accompany you to where you want to go,” Peng Jiuyuan said guiltily.

Zhou Shu looked at Peng Jiuyuan with a faint smile.

Peng Jiuyuan lowered his head in shame. His Peng family’s ancestral teachings were for him to listen to Zhou Shu’s orders, but what he was doing now was considering the safety of the villagers of Boundary Bridge Village and himself. Deep down, he didn’t treat Zhou Shu as his master.

“Are you afraid that I’ll implicate the people of Boundary Bridge Village?” Zhou Shu said. “Or do you think I’m afraid of the Dong family?”

“Lord, please forgive me!” Peng Jiuyuan knelt on one knee. “The people of

Boundary Bridge Village are innocent. They don’t know what happened. 1—”

“There’s no need to explain.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “Your Peng family has been around for more than twenty generations. It’s only right that you don’t agree with the ancestral teachings.”

“It’s not like that, I—I’ Peng Jiuyuan explained in a panic.

“Uncle Peng, you don’t have to be nervous.” Zhou Shu revealed a smile. “I mean everything I say. I have never regarded you as my subordinate, and I don’t want you to sacrifice anything for me. If not for the special circumstances, I might not even ask for your help.

“You have lived in Boundary Bridge Village for decades. If you don’t have any feelings for the villagers here, I’ll be a little disappointed.”

“Lord, 1—” Peng Jiuyuan was ashamed.

“Alright, I know about the Dong family. Don’t worry. I’ll settle this matter myself.” Zhou Shu smiled indifferently. “Help me prepare a map of the nearby towns. I will leave Boundary Bridge Village first and not implicate this place.” While Zhou Shu and Peng Jiuyuan were talking, about fifty kilometers away from Boundary Bridge Village, in a small city, a person dressed as a mountain dweller knelt on the ground nervously.

In front of him was a group of knights riding strange beasts. They were wearing fiery red armor and holding spears in their hands. They had strict bearings.

“Are you saying that there’s an outsider in your village who’s injured and has the ability to heal people?” the leading knight said coldly as he looked at the kneeling mountain dweller.

“Yes,” the mountain dwellers said with a trembling voice. “I saw it with my own eyes. The foot-long and several-inch-deep wound healed in a few breaths.” “Huh?” The leading knight frowned slightly. “Lead the way!”

He raised his hand and waved it. The mountain dweller had already been swept up by a light and landed on the back of a strange beast.

Then the dozens of knights left the city like a gust of wind and sped toward Boundary Bridge Village.

On the mountain path, a figure walked step by step with a wooden walking stick in his hand.

This person was Zhou Shu.

After he left Boundary Bridge Village, he didn’t leave directly. Instead, he followed the mountain path up to a mountain peak that he had long planned.

It was only a few kilometers away from Boundary Bridge Village. In the past, Zhou Shu would have been able to reach it in an instant.

But now, he could only travel on foot step by step. After walking for a long time, he had only walked half the distance.

Peng Jiuyuan didn’t follow him. According to the agreement between the two of them, Peng Jiuyuan would meet up with him after the Dong family searched Boundary Bridge Village.

As for whether Peng Jiuyuan would really come, Zhou Shu didn’t care.

Peng Jiuyuan could do whatever he wanted to do. Anyone else could too.

At worst, Zhou Shu would get someone else’s help.

With the divine ability Unparalleled Benevolence, Zhou Shu could nurture an expert at any time.

Boundary Bridge Village, Naihe Bridge, connecting the two worlds of life and death… Zhou Shu stopped under a big tree and panted slightly. He looked at the distant mountain peak. Could the Legendary Armament Canon have brought me to the Zhu Rong Heavenly Kingdom for this purpose?

Originally, he thought that the Legendary Armament Canon had brought him here because of Peng Jiuyuan.

But from the looks of it, that might not be the case.

I want to see what secrets Boundary Bridge Village is hiding.

Zhou Shu rested for a moment, picked up his walking stick, and continued to walk toward the top of the mountain.

As for the Dong family, Zhou Shu had never taken them seriously.

At this moment, a team of knights had already arrived at Boundary Bridge Village.

“Is this the place?” the leading knight asked the mountain dweller.

The mountain dweller rolled off the back of the mutated beast and landed on the ground. He hurriedly said, “This is the place. That person is at Peng Jiuyuan’s house.”

At this moment, a figure rushed over and shouted, “Dong Ergou!”

The mountain dweller who had brought the knights over shuddered. But he saw the knights behind him and immediately felt confident..
