Chapter 1070 An Important Quest
Lu Yu entered the carriage and followed Zhao Qingya to her residence, a quaint villa in SkyplCity.
Though small, it offered all the necessary amenities, including a charming front yard with a fountain and pavilion, a serene backyard with a garden and stable, and a refreshing swimming pool on the side.
Upon entering, Zhao Qingya gestured towards the villa. “This is my place. You’re welcto stay the night before leaving tomorrow.”
“No problem, I appreciate it,” Lu Yu replied, casually exploring the space.
Hu Zhan, however, felt awkward. “Mayor Zhao, this is your personal residence. It wouldn’t be appropriate for us to impose, especially with so many of us.”
Zhao Qingya’s expression turned slightly cold. “This offer is for Lu Yu, not all of you. Besides, the villa doesn’t have enough rooms for your entire team.” Feeling chastised, Hu Zhan scratched his head, unsure what to say.
“However,” Zhao Qingya continued with a softer tone, “since you’re the captain, you may stay here. As for your team, they can find lodging nearby. After all, this is a small villa and wouldn’t be comfortable for a large group.” Hu Zhan nodded readily. “That sounds perfectly reasonable.”
He turned to his team, only to find them visibly uncomfortable.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith a stern voice, Hu Zhan addressed them. “Listen up! Find your own accommodations and wait for further instructions. Disobeying orders will result in dismissal. I don’t need anyone who disregards authority!”
His stern words sent his team scurrying away. While they enjoyed relaxed periods of leisure, they understood the importance of seriousness and discipline when their captain demanded it.
“Miss Zhao,” Hu Zhan said, addressing her once more, “I’ll be taking my leave. We’ll depart for the quest tomorrow morning, and I assure you, we’ll complete it with the sswiftness we demonstrated in capturing the White Spirit Dragon. It will be a smooth victory.”
“There’s no point in boasting now,” Zhao Qingya replied dismissively. “Get srest. I’ll wait for your news tomorrow. It’s unlikely you’ll find the enemy in just a day or two.”
“You underestimate Lu Yu,” Hu Zhan countered. “The White Spirit Dragon’s hiding abilities are exceptional. It transformed itself into a tiny ball and concealed itself among the weeds, leaving no trace. In that vast forest, it was like a needle in a haystack. If not for his unique ability, we would have spent weeks searching.”
Intrigued by Lu Yu’s potential, Zhao Qingya remarked, “He must be quite powerful based on your description. I’ll be waiting for your news tomorrow.
Don’t disappoint me.”
“You needn’t worry, I won’t,” Hu Zhan declared with a serious bow.
As Zhao Qingya left, Hu Zhan sighed in relief, feeling the tension dissipate.
“Finally gone,” he muttered before entering the villa.
He found Lu Yu already settled in the living room, enjoying a plate of fruit while reading the local newspaper.
“It seems like SkyplCity is quite peaceful,” Lu Yu remarked with a smile.
“The main news is about a Battle Pet Beauty Competition. You guys sure have a lot of leisure there.” ”
“Of course,” Hu Zhan replied. “SkyplCity is a major metropolis, a first-class city in the entire southwest region. With a population of over a million, the people here enjoy a peaceful and comfortable life.”
“Of course, entertainment is a natural part of life,” Lu Yu conceded. “This isn’t Black Dragon City, after all.”
Nodding in agreement, Lu Yu said, “I’ve gathered enough information about
SkyplCity for now. Let’s focus on preparing for our departure tomorrow.”
“Completing this quest will undoubtedly make you a hero of SkyplCity,” Hu Zhan said with a smile, sitting beside Lu Yu.
“While I appreciate the sentiment, motivation isn’t necessary,” Lu Yu replied. “Just confirming,” Hu Zhan said, “what tdo we leave tomorrow?”
“Let’s depart early in the morning,” Lu Yu suggested. “It’s best if only the two of us travel together. Bringing a larger group would be unnecessary.”
Hu Zhan raised an eyebrow. “Why? Wouldn’t more people be beneficial? Even if they can’t fight, they could carry supplies or act as scouts.”
“I can handle everything myself,” Lu Yu explained. “A larger group would only increase the risk of our position being compromised, potentially alerting the enemy and allowing them to escape. Therefore, I prefer a two-man operation for tomorrow. I’m unfamiliar with the area, so please guide me.” Just then, Jiang Xun entered the room with a plate of food.
“Brother Yu, dinner is served.”
“He lives here, too?” Hu Zhan inquired curiously.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“He’s a member of my team, not yours,” Lu Yu clarified.
Hu Zhan’s brow furrowed. “But aren’t you both on my team?”
“In nonly,” Lu Yu stated firmly. “Don’t assyou have any authority over me.”
His direct gaze left Hu Zhan feeling flustered.
“No, no, you’re right,” Hu Zhan stammered, shaking his head quickly. “Perhaps a partnership would be a more accurate term?”
“Regardless,” Lu Yu continued, “Jiang Xun will be accompanying me. It’s pointless to try ordering him around.”
Jiang Xun joined them, offering Hu Zhan a smile. “Brother Yu is correct. I apologize, but I must follow his instructions since he broughthere.” He shrugged helplessly.
“No worries, I understand,” Hu Zhan conceded. “Lu Yu, I truly appreciate your help. By completing the previous quest, you earnedvaluable merit points.
I’m deeply grateful.”
Raising his glass, he poured and gulped down a glass of red wine.
With a smile, he added, “I hope for a smoother collaboration in the future.”
Lu Yu rose from his seat and headed towards the stairs. “I’m retiring for the night. We leave early tomorrow morning, so wake up on time.”
After taking a few bites of food, Lu Yu ascended the stairs to rest, leaving Hu Zhan and Jiang Xun alone in the living room. Hu Zhan rubbed his stubble and eyed Jiang Xun curiously.
“Do you know where Lu Yu cfrom?” he inquired.
Jiang Xun, ignoring him, collected his plate and followed Lu Yu upstairs.
“Don’t pry,” Jiang Xun advised before leaving. “It won’t benefit you. Besides, I don’t have much information myself. Don’t expect to squeeze details out of me..”
