Chapter 1746 A bet!

Faced with Lin Yuan's words, Lin Tianlang remained silent.

Looking at his ambitious brother, Lin Tianlang said nothing, but turned and left silently.

Looking at Lin Tianlang's back, Lin Yuan was silent for a long time, and then checked the account book again.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Changsheng, who had just woken up from his beauty sleep, walked out of the carriage.

"If you have divine energy, use it right away. Why do you always like to hoard it?"

"The divine source I gave you is twice as much as Yan Qing and the others."

Hearing Chen Changsheng's voice, Lin Yuan opened his eyes and said, "Thank you for your kindness, sir, but the Divine Source is extremely precious. I want to save it for a more critical time."

"Now is a critical moment. In this world of cultivation, no one can guarantee whether they will be able to see the sun tomorrow."

"You don't need it now, are you planning to give it to your enemy?"

Looking at Chen Changsheng's puzzled eyes, Lin Yuan lowered his head and smiled.

"Sir, we are different from you. Perhaps you have never lacked divine energy since birth, and you have never even seen currency like spirit stones."

"But we have been struggling at the bottom of this world."

"The Divine Source is already a very precious thing to us."

In response to Lin Yuan's words, Chen Changsheng said nothing, but took out the tea set and started making tea.

Soon, a cup of steaming hot tea was handed to Lin Yuan.

"Try this cup of tea I made."

"Thank you, sir!"

Lin Yuan nodded in thanks, then took the teacup from Chen Changsheng.

"Gulu!"

As the tea entered my stomach, an unimaginable bitterness filled my mouth.

But Lin Yuan said calmly, "Good tea!"

"Do you really think this tea is good?"

"It's as sweet as sugar!"

Lin Yuan's eyes were very clear, and Chen Changsheng did not see any lies in them.

"It looks like your life is very hard."

"It can't be called hard, it can only be said that it was a little bumpy."

"How rough it is."

"Does it count if the whole family is killed?"

"It's okay, so-so."

"Does it count as an eight-year-old child begging on the street while holding a one-month-old baby?"

"It's pitiful!"

"That's all. Apart from these two things, I don't think we two brothers have had any other difficulties."

Lin Yuan said with a smile, and Chen Changsheng poured him another cup of tea.

"It seems that the hardships you experienced in your youth have made you much better at controlling your emotions than your peers."

"But I'm curious, what kind of person do you want to be?"

"I want to be someone like you."

"What kind of person am I?"

"A man who can take charge of his own life."

Facing Lin Yuan's answer, Chen Changsheng was slightly surprised and said, "This is not a low requirement. Staying alive is not an easy thing."

"But your request is too abstract. Can you be more specific?"

"I don't want to be crushed like an ant!"

Lin Yuan expressed his thoughts word by word. Chen Changsheng frowned slightly and smacked his lips.

"Your request is too high, because in the eyes of many people you are just an ant."

"In my eyes, yes, and in the eyes of those who have higher cultivation than you."

"Even if your cultivation can make you one of the strongest people in this world, you are still an ant in front of the Great Song Dynasty."

"I know, but I still want to try."

"Even if it doesn't work, being a dog for you is better than being a dog for anyone else."

"At least following the Master, I can eat more."

Lin Yuan's tone was relaxed, but Chen Changsheng smiled and pointed at him, saying, "From what you said, it seems you're still not convinced!"

"There's nothing to be dissatisfied with. He's going to die soon. What's there to be dissatisfied about?"

"Who said you were going to die?"

"We brothers are wanted criminals by the imperial court. There are powerful people up there who want us dead."

"The reason we were able to survive before was because another important person protected us."

"Now that we are under the command of the young master, we will die naturally."

After receiving this answer, Chen Changsheng immediately laughed.

"Are you looking down on me? If others can protect you, why can't I?"

"Lin Yuan has never doubted the young master's background and strength, but I also believe that the young master does not have a deep foundation in this place."

“How come you see?”

"If your foundation is strong, why would you choose personnel from these escort agencies, and why would you recruit my two brothers into your team?"

"You have some truth in what you say, but you still have to explain why I can't protect you."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan looked at Chen Changsheng and said, "Young Master, you have many tricks, but your foundation is not deep."

"A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. If you forcibly protect my two brothers, you will definitely pay a heavy price."

"It's obvious that the two of us brothers are not worth this price."

"So we only have three options."

"First, you have to hand us over to gain the favor of a certain important figure. We two brothers will die without a complete body."

"Second, the young master handed us over to our original master, and we continued to serve as dogs for our original master."

"Third, Master, we are secret agents. We are dogs for others in public, but dogs for you in secret."

"That's an interesting analysis. What if the situation isn't what you analyzed?"

"If I'm wrong, Lin Yuan is at your disposal, young master."

Looking at Lin Yuan, who was full of confidence, Chen Changsheng raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "It will take about two hours to reach the next city."

"When we get there, the escort agency will stop for a short rest."

"If I'm not mistaken, during this time, the escort agency will try to kill you, and your former owner will come to claim you."

"If I don't resolve these issues within twelve hours, I'll lose a penny."

After saying that, Chen Changsheng stood up and prepared to return to the carriage.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan said, "Sir, this escort is too conspicuous. The Escort Association will definitely send someone over."

"They are different from..."

"Shh!"

Before Lin Yuan finished speaking, Chen Changsheng made a shushing gesture.

"The entire team is under my control. I know exactly what they did and what they said."

"The reason for making such a big fuss is to lure out the escort general."

"Also, if I'm not mistaken, your family's enemies are probably trying to put pressure on the Escort Association and use it to kill you."

"So your original owner might not be sure to keep you."

After saying that, Chen Changsheng closed the door, leaving Lin Yuan sitting outside alone.

At this moment, that deep feeling of powerlessness once again surged into their hearts, as if the two brothers were being hunted down back then.
