Chapter 588 Escorting the goods!

Lu Yu listened to these discussions and his brows gradually furrowed.

He picked up the teacup, took a sip, and his eyes darkened.

Tang San asked in a low voice: "Brother Yu, what do you think? This year's opponents don't seem to be easy to deal with."

"really."

Lu Yu put down the teacup and said in a low voice, "The explosive power of the real black dragon is extremely strong. If Dai Weisi really has inherited the divine martial soul, I am afraid that he has too many cards to defend against.

Yu Chen's Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex spirit strikes steadily, and He Zhiyun's teamwork is nearly impeccable... Although our Shrek team is strong, our chances of winning this time are probably less than 50%.

"Fifty percent?"

Ma Hongjun's eyes widened. "Brother Yu, aren't you being too conservative? We have you, Tang San, and Rongrong's Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda. What are we afraid of?"

"What we fear is not the strength of our opponents, but our own weaknesses."

Lu Yu sighed, "Although our team cooperates well, our individual styles are too distinct and we are easily targeted.

Especially Dai Weisi, the royal family's resources are unfathomable. If he has a divine martial soul inheritance, I am not sure of winning against him alone."

When everyone heard this, the atmosphere became a little heavy.

Ning Rongrong frowned and said, "What should we do? We can't just give up before the fight even starts, right?"

"Of course I won't admit defeat."

A sharp light flashed in Lu Yu's eyes, "The stronger the opponent, the more alert we must be.

After returning, I will intensify my training and develop strategies for each opponent.

Especially Dai Weisi, we must find out his trump card!"

"Correct!"

Dai Mubai slammed the table, his eyes ablaze with fighting spirit. "I just don't believe my big brother is that strong! Brother Yu, let's do it the way you say!"

Lu Yu nodded and glanced at everyone: "After returning, I will discuss with the master and readjust the tactics.

For now, let's help Wang Sheng solve his 'big life matter' first."

Everyone burst into laughter, and the atmosphere finally eased.

Wang Sheng scratched his head and chuckled, "Brother Yu, you're so righteous! Let's go to the escort agency now!"

The South City Escort Agency is bustling with people, escort flags fluttering, and the stone lions at the door are majestic.

Lu Yu and his group followed Wang Sheng and saw from afar a woman standing in front of the escort agency, directing several escorts to carry goods.

She was only sixteen or seventeen years old, tall, with long legs that were particularly eye-catching under the tight clothes. Her waist was slender but powerful, and the curve of her chest was even more eye-catching, with a hint of hot temperament.

Her face is as delicate as a painting, with a heroic look between her eyebrows and eyes. Her eyes are clear but seem to hide a fiery flame, and her glance makes people's hearts skip a beat.

"It's her!"

Wang Sheng pointed at the woman and whispered with a bit of excitement, "Brother Yu, what do you think?"

Lu Yu squinted his eyes and looked at her for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, she is indeed a beauty.

She has a fiery temperament but clear eyes, which shows that she is straightforward and not shy.

You have good vision."

Wang Sheng felt a little embarrassed by the compliment and scratched his head, "Then...Brother Yu, what do you think I should do?"

"Go over and say hello first and test her attitude."

Lu Yu whispered, "Don't rush to confess, make yourself familiar with her first.

Remember, be sincere and don't let her think you are frivolous."

"Row!"

Wang Sheng took a deep breath and patted his chest, "Brother Yu, I'll listen to you!"

At this moment, the woman seemed to notice the gazes of several people. She turned her head suddenly, and her eyes swept over like a knife, meeting Lu Yu's gaze.

Her eyebrows raised, and she shouted angrily, "It's you again, you scoundrel! You bumped into me yesterday, and you dare to bring people to stare at me today?!"

Wang Sheng was stunned and waved his hands hurriedly: "Misunderstanding! Girl, it's really a misunderstanding! I didn't mean to do that yesterday, I just wasn't paying attention when I was walking -"

"Still quibbling!"

The woman snorted coldly and took a step forward, her aura pressing. "Your eyes look as if you could see through my clothes! You scoundrel, how dare you come here today? Do you think I'm easy to bully?"

The surrounding escorts and passersby gathered around when they heard the noise, pointing and talking.

Oscar saw this and muttered, "This is bad, Brother Yu, should we retreat first?"

"Why retreat?"

Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes at him, her tone teasing, "Oscar, you single dog, stop causing trouble! Brother Yu has a solution!"

Lu Yu ignored the two of them, patted Wang Sheng on the shoulder, and whispered, "Don't panic, go up and explain clearly.

Remember, be sincere, apologize first, and then talk slowly.

Don't mention anything you like, let her calm down first."

Wang Sheng gritted his teeth, stepped forward, and said with a bow, "Miss, yesterday was really a misunderstanding! My name is Wang Sheng, and I'm a student at Shrek Academy. I'm definitely not a pervert! I accidentally bumped into you yesterday, and I'm here to apologize!"

The woman sneered and looked Wang Sheng up and down, saying with disdain: "Apologize? You say it nicely, but who knows what you're thinking?!"

"I……"

Wang Sheng was about to explain, but the woman suddenly raised her leg and kicked him! The kick was fast and fierce, with a bit of soul power fluctuation. Wang Sheng was caught off guard and was kicked three meters away. He fell to the ground, grimacing in pain.

"Ouch!"

Oscar couldn't help laughing and quickly covered his mouth, "Wang Sheng, your plan...is ruined before it even started?"

Lu Yu couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, "This girl has a really hot temper! Wang Sheng, you really need to put in some real effort this time!"

Wang Sheng rubbed his waist and climbed up, saying with a wry smile: "Brother Yu, is this...Is there no hope for me?"

"No chance?"

Lu Yu raised his eyebrows, a smile flashed in his eyes, “This girl has a fierce temper, but that doesn’t mean there is no chance.

Go back and think about how to make amends, and try again another day.

Remember, sincerity is the most important thing! "

Everyone burst into laughter and surrounded Wang Sheng as he left the escort agency. The laughter and discussions in the teahouse lingered for a long time.

The sky gradually darkened, and the afterglow of the setting sun cast a long shadow on the official road.

The people from Shrek Academy were moving forward along the broad road. The sounds of wheels and horse hooves mixed with the sound of the wind revealed a sense of fatigue and anticipation from the journey.

In the team, Wang Sheng rode a chestnut horse, his eyes scanning the distance from time to time, as if looking for something.

He looked a little nervous, his fingers unconsciously stroking the reins, obviously he was worried about something.

"Wang Sheng, you look so distracted, are you thinking about that tight-fitting lady again?"

Dai Mubai was riding on a horse, glancing at him with a sidelong glance, a playful smile on his lips.

Wang Sheng blushed, scratched his head, and stammered, "No way... I was just taking in the scenery."

"Scenery? Haha, the scenery of this official road is not as beautiful as the one you saw last time."

Oscar came over, winked and teased, "Seriously, you still haven't resolved the issue of offending someone last time, right? Do you want us to help you with some advice?"

Wang Sheng quickly waved his hands, his face showing even more embarrassment. "Don't, don't mention it! I've already apologized to her as Lu Yu taught me."

"Oh? Apologize?"

Ma Xiaotao, who was riding on another horse, raised an eyebrow at the words and asked with a hint of curiosity, "Tell me quickly, what bad advice did Lu Yu give you? Didn't that woman beat you up?"

Wang Sheng smiled bitterly, his eyes unconsciously drifting towards Lu Yu at the front of the team.

Lu Yu was walking side by side with Ning Rongrong, and they were whispering something. Ning Rongrong covered her mouth and chuckled from time to time, looking pretty.

Lu Yu looked relaxed, occasionally turning his head to look at Ning Rongrong with a teasing smile in his eyes.

"Lu Yu taught me to apologize sincerely first and then say something nice."

Wang Sheng lowered his voice, as if afraid of being overheard by the people in front. "I did as I was told. The sister's anger subsided a little, but she was still quite cold and said she didn't want to see me again."

"Tsk tsk, this is not good."

Oscar shook his head and sighed in a mature manner, "It seems that you still have a long way to go in your pursuit."

"but……"

Wang Sheng paused, a glimmer of hope in his eyes. "I told her I wanted to make friends. After she heard I was a member of Team Thanos, her attitude improved a bit. She even wished us a successful start in the Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition."

"Wow, isn't this quite some progress?"

Dai Mubai patted Wang Sheng's shoulder and grinned, "It seems that people don't have such a bad impression of you. At least they don't regard you as an enemy."

Wang Sheng smiled bitterly and shook his head. He turned to look at Lu Yu and shouted, "Lu Yu! Come here quickly. I have something to tell you!"

When Lu Yu heard the shout, he turned around to glance at Wang Sheng, smiled and said something to Ning Rongrong. Ning Rongrong glared at him, her cheeks slightly red, and gently pushed him.

Lu Yu laughed, patted the horse's back, and rode to Wang Sheng's side.

"What's wrong, Wang Sheng? You look so sad. Did that sister scold you again?"

Lu Yu asked with a smile, a hint of teasing in his tone.

Wang Sheng glared at him angrily and whispered, "Stop laughing at me! I apologized as you taught me, and it did help a little, but she still doesn't pay much attention to me.

Before leaving, she said she had a mission to complete and didn't have time to chat.

Do you think she doesn't want to pay attention to me at all?"

Lu Yu raised his eyebrows, pondered for a moment, patted Wang Sheng on the shoulder, and comforted him, "Don't worry, brother.

Since people wish you success in the competition, it means they have a good impression of you.

Maybe she really has a mission and is busy.

Don't be too anxious, take your time, I'll help you think of a solution."

"Really?"

Wang Sheng's eyes lit up, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, "Lu Yu, you have to help me! I think you have experience in this area."

Ning Rongrong, who was standing by, heard this and came over on horseback. She snorted and said sourly, "Lu Yu, when did you become an expert in chasing girls? Tell me, who else have you given advice to?"

Lu Yu was stunned, and turned to look at Ning Rongrong. Seeing that she was smiling with a hint of ridicule, he immediately laughed: "Rongrong, you are really wronging me.

I'm just helping Wang Sheng out of pity. Besides, I don't have any experience; I'm just learning on the job."

"Huh, learning and applying right away?"

Ning Rongrong snorted and glanced at him sideways, "I think you're gifted, right? You've even made a blockhead like Wang Sheng behave properly."

Wang Sheng's face turned even redder, and he quickly waved his hands, "Sister Rongrong, stop laughing at me! I just... I can't help it."

Lu Yu laughed and patted Wang Sheng on the shoulder: "Don't worry, brother, I will definitely help you win this sister's heart! But you have to listen to me, take your time, don't rush."

Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes and muttered, "Lu Yu, please don't teach Wang Sheng a bad lesson.

If he learns your sweet talk and gets into trouble, I won't clean up your mess."

Lu Yu pretended to be wronged and spread his hands: "Rongrong, you really hurt my heart.

Was that just sweet talk? I was being sincere!

"sincere?"

Ning Rongrong snorted, her cheeks unconsciously reddened, and she glared at him, "Stop it, let's go, don't keep Dean Flanders waiting anxiously."

Lu Yu smiled and shook his head, then rode his horse back to Ning Rongrong and whispered something. Ning Rongrong was embarrassed and annoyed, so she raised her hand and pinched his arm, causing Lu Yu to scream exaggeratedly, which made Oscar and others around him laugh.

Three days later, the Shrek Academy team, led by Flanders and Zhao Wuji, finally arrived near the Royal Academy of Tiandou Empire.

The long journey made everyone a little tired. Flanders waved his hand and decided to rest for a night at a nearby inn and officially enter the Royal Academy tomorrow.

Outside the post station, people were busy unloading their bags and feeding the horses with water. The air was filled with dust and the smell of horses.

Oscar was helping to carry the luggage when his eyes suddenly lit up. He pointed at a nearby escort carriage and shouted, "Wang Sheng, look! Isn't that your sister's carriage?"

Wang Sheng looked in the direction of his finger and saw a familiar escort carriage parked next to the post station, with the woman in tight clothes standing next to the carriage.

She was dressed in a green outfit, with a short sword on her waist. She looked heroic and capable, with a look of competence between her brows.

At this moment, she was talking in a low voice with a burly middle-aged man beside her, with a serious expression.

"is her!"

Wang Sheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately became alert. He turned to look at Lu Yu, "Lu Yu, can I go say hello?"

Lu Yu was helping Ning Rongrong pack her luggage. Hearing this, he looked up, smiled and nodded, "Go ahead, but remember not to be too rash.

Chat with her for a few minutes and feel her out."

Wang Sheng took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and mustered up the courage to walk towards the woman.

The woman heard footsteps, looked up, and saw that it was Wang Sheng. She frowned slightly, but quickly regained her composure.

"This...sister, we meet again!"

Wang Sheng forced a smile and tried to make his tone sound natural, "I haven't thanked you properly for forgiving me for what happened last time."

The woman glanced at him indifferently and said in a cold voice: "There is no need to mention what happened last time.

Are you from Shrek Academy? What are you doing in the Heaven Dou Empire?

Wang Sheng scratched his head and said with a simple smile, "We are here to exchange ideas with the Royal Academy, and we are also preparing to participate in the Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition."

When the woman heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes and she nodded: "I see.

The Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament is not easy, I wish you good luck."

She paused, as if hesitating, before she said, "My name is Ma Yunlu."

"Ma Yunlu!"

Wang Sheng's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "My name is Wang Sheng! Sister Ma, are you from the escort agency? What cargo are you escorting this time?"

Ma Yunlu was about to speak when the burly middle-aged man next to him frowned and interrupted: "Yunlu, say less, so as not to let the news leak out."

He glanced at Wang Sheng sharply, with a hint of warning in his eyes.
