There are too many teammates who are complete losers.

Chapter 6 Fake

The two walked along the mountain path, intending to leave this place first.

For some reason, Lu Ren felt that this young lady was acting strangely the whole way. As he hurried along, he secretly glanced at her out of the corner of his eye.

Shen Yaoxing picked up a straight stick and started hitting the roadside bushes with it, humming a little tune as she went. She seemed to be in a good mood. Although there was nothing wrong with it, Lu Ren thought that a rich young lady like Shen Yaoxing should be more elegant, intellectual, composed, and quiet.

Of course, the idea that noble ladies are necessarily poised and elegant is just his subjective conjecture.

The summer mountain breeze came in gusts, chasing away the stuffy, dry feeling of the night. It felt pleasant on the two of them. If they were children, Lu Ren would run down the mountain against the wind, like a silly goose.

But that would be too childish. He's already a mature corporate slave. Running like that would make his suit pants rip open. Oh wait, he's not wearing a suit anymore.

"Wuhu, it's so cool and refreshing—!!"

Shen Yaoxing ran down the road against the wind, like a little child.

"..." You're weird, you know that?

"Why did the young lady insist on having me as her bodyguard?"

Do the strong need the protection of the weak? Lu Ren couldn't understand, and after thinking for a long time, he couldn't help but ask:

"Young Miss isn't the kind of weak woman who needs protection. Even if she did need protection, it's obvious that Young Miss is stronger between the two of us."

"Oh, you don't know that?"

Shen Yaoxing said, "Compared to the powerful Void Beasts, humans are as fragile as bubbles and are simply not worth mentioning. Therefore, it is an unspoken rule that no one enters the Void Realm alone, but in the form of a team. A team has warriors, shield warriors, mages, and some even have sorcerers, divine mages, and so on... Clearly, an individual's ability is so insignificant in front of Void Beasts, but when they are gathered together, they can unleash amazing power. Humans are creatures that need partners to survive."

"But what does this have to do with me becoming your bodyguard?"

"Of course there are."

She pressed her hand to her chest and said firmly, "I'm the kind of person who can't get anything done without partners. I'm the kind of person who can mess everything up if no one helps me."

I have absolutely no idea what this guy is rambling on about.

Actually, Lu Ren wanted to ask, then why did he trust him?

The two had only met by chance, and had known each other for only a day. Moreover, he had not shown any qualities that could be relied upon.

"If you're wondering why I trust you..."

She seemed to know what Lu Ren was thinking, smiled mysteriously, and said, "It's intuition!"

"intuition?"

Shen Yaoxing raised her hand, and a semi-transparent fluorescent panel appeared in front of her.

Name: Shen Yaoxing

Occupation: Astrologer

[Level: Bottleneck Stage of the Candle Illumination Realm]

【精神：阴阳（19+47）共鸣（6+34）灵感（566+566）】

【talent】:

Ominous Star: Under the starry sky, your attributes and spiritual power will recover significantly, but your self-control and rationality will decrease.

Auspicious Stars: A cluster of stars will bring good things. Your intuition is the answer from the stars, but that may not be the answer you are looking for; it is just the answer from the stars.

【Skill】:

[Restoration Holy Light] Quality: No grade, Learning requirements: None, Effect: The palm can emit white light that restores objects, or condense the white light into a beam and shoot it out. The beam also has a restoration effect on the target. The restoration ability depends on the strength of the inspiration.

[Spiritual Eye Technique] Quality: Silver, Learning Requirements: 600 Inspiration, Effect: Greatly enhances vision, and allows the user to see a world composed purely of spiritual energy.

"This..." Lu Ren was dumbfounded. The total attribute points reached more than a thousand. Such high attributes!

The second-tier Candle Illumination Realm professional was only one level higher than him, yet his stats were more than 40 times higher.

These two talents look pretty impressive, but what does the decrease in self-control from [Ominous Star] mean...? Before Lu Ren could take a closer look at the skills below, Shen Yaoxing's attribute panel was taken away.

"See? I'm a professional with the [Lucky Star] talent. This judgment is based on my intuition. Although there may be some twists and turns along the way, the outcome will definitely be good!"

"I see……"

When she said that, Lu Ren understood.

"Does your intuition tell you that bringing me along will bring good things?"

"Pretty much, oh dear! Cheer up! I already said I'd pay you, being my bodyguard is beneath you!"

"I'm not wronged, I'm not wronged."

"Then why are you looking so gloomy?"

This is what I look like.

There's no way around it; after being a corporate slave for so long, Lu Ren often feels like he has a deep-seated grudge, and even after transmigrating, it's hard for him to change.

The two walked down the mountain along the winding path. Lu Ren learned their location from a road sign at an intersection: Xinhua Village, Mingshui County. It was quite far from the city center, but very close to where Lu Ren currently lived, which was an urban village.

Perhaps those robbers were residents of the urban village. The urban village in Linjiang City is a very large area of ​​densely packed buildings. How can one describe how large it is? It can meet all the needs of a person from birth to old age, illness and death, including education, medical care, employment and daily life.

Many people may never leave this complex of buildings from birth to death.

Because they are currently located at a high altitude, on a winding mountain road behind the mountains, they can barely see down below. The city is like a starry night sky reflected on the boundless earth, but there is a large area of ​​pitch-black darkness.

"Hey, isn't this a slum? I've never been here before?" Shen Yaoxing asked with an adventurous tone.

The air seemed to fall silent for a second before Lu Ren suddenly realized, "Ah, right, is that what you upper-class people call urban villages?"

"Urban village? An interesting term."

"Over there, that's where I live."

Shen Yaoxing was also taken aback: "You live in a place like that?"

"Yes, let's go downstairs first. There are many small hotels in the urban village. You don't need an ID card to register. I'll take you there to get a room, and then I'll go back..."

"Even if registration is required, it doesn't matter. I specially prepared a fake ID card when I came out." She looked smug.

Why would someone specifically prepare such a thing when going out? Lu Ren doesn't even usually carry his ID card when he goes out, let alone forge one.

No, a normal person couldn't possibly have a "forged ID card," right?

However, at that moment, Lu Ren was suddenly tackled by the person next to him and fell heavily onto the bushes by the roadside.

Before he could ask, he heard Shen Yaoxing's cold voice.

"Someone's chasing us, but we don't know whose men they are."

They were so close, their faces so close, and a delicate fragrance wafted into his nose; it smelled wonderful.

And for some reason, when she said that, it was as if she had switched personalities; even her voice changed.

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, two figures appeared on the mountain.

Almost in a flash, they appeared on the mountain path they had just walked on.

Who could it be? One of the kidnappers' men?

Or is it the Shen family's rescue?

"Brother Hao, why did you stop?"

"I think I just saw someone over here...?"

"Where? I don't see her! Stop dawdling, Hao-ge, hurry up and meet up with the captain. If we don't find Miss soon..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ren's eyes lit up. He was about to get up slightly when he was suddenly pressed down heavily on top of the girl.

Perhaps it was this rustling sound that alerted the two people on the roadside to the presence of something.

The two people on the roadside exchanged a glance and then tacitly moved towards the bushes.

However, as soon as they got a little closer, they both stopped.

It was because various silver horn sounds began to emanate from the bushes over there.

They make all sorts of noises, from "uh-huh" to "ee-ya-ya," and they spit at anyone who comes by, then curse them as adulterers and lecherous men.

"So they're a pair of illicit lovers. Let's go, Hao-ge."

"No, this sound is wrong..."

Something's not right.

"This Silver Horn guy sounds too fake. I could tell it was an act the moment I heard it. Something's fishy!"

The man called Brother Hao was about to investigate and took a few steps inside when, just then, the Silver Horn that had been so flamboyant and pretentious in the bushes suddenly became real.

Interspersed among them were a few women's gasps and coquettish cries of "No!"

"Huh? Huh, huh, huh!"

The two people inside seemed to have really gone all out and lost themselves in the moment.

Hao stopped and nodded in satisfaction.

This is the real Silver Horn.

"Bah! Adulterers and lecherous bastards, making love in the middle of the night, they don't know what the world is like."

"Let's go, Hao-ge, we still need to find Miss."

"Walk!"

With two whooshing sounds, the two figures disappeared into the mountain path.
