Chapter 115: Boys Have to Be Big-hearted
After chatting with Wu Muyu for a while, Su Wen finally continued on his journey to Li Prefecture.
However, two hours later, he looked at the fork in front of him.
Su Wen fell into deep thought.
He… seemed to have… lost his way!
F*ck!
This fact shocked Su Wen.
Xue Wanjun and his group of bastards had already run away without a trace.
Furthermore, Su Wen had never left the capital.
There was no GPS navigation device in this world, and Su Wen did not have a map.
After walking through a few forks, Su Wen already had no idea where he was.
Right now, he had two paths. The first was to return to the capital via the same route, obtain a map guide, and then set out to chase after Xue Wanjun and the others. The second was to think of a way himself.
Su Wen gave up on the first option.
There was no other way about it. This Young Master Su could not afford to lose face!
If news of this got out, how was Young Master Su supposed to face the world?
“Hehe, the Li Prefecture should be in the east of the capital. Who cares, let’s head east first!”
Su Wen randomly chose a road that seemed to be the most east and galloped away.
He did not know that behind him, Fu An was confused.
“What is Su Wen trying to do? This road isn’t to the Li Prefecture.”
Two days later, Su Wen’s horse was eating grass while Su Wen was setting up a fire and roasting a rabbit.
He was thinking about the path of life.
Where the f*ck should I go?
How did those transmigrators travel all over the world after transmigrating?
He had already asked for directions more than once, but every time he asked for directions, Su Wen could not be sure if he was on the right path.
Therefore, whenever he met someone, he would ask them about it. If he went the wrong way, he would quickly change directions.
At that moment an old man, hunched over with his head down, wearing a straw hat and carrying some dry wood on his back, walked past.
When Su Wen saw him, his eyes lit up. He immediately jumped up and shouted, “Hey! That grandpa! Don’t move, I’m asking for directions!”
Su Wen walked in front of the old man and hurriedly asked, “Grandpa, how do you get to Li Prefecture?”
“Youngster, you’re going the wrong way. To head to the Li Prefecture, you have to turn back from this road. After two li, there’s a fork in the road. Go down the small road, then turn north. After fifteen li, head east onto the official road!”
Su Wen had a vexed expression as he said, “I see, I made a mistake again. Thank you, Grandpa! Please take care, this rabbit is yours!”
With that, Su Wen mounted his horse and left.
Fu An straightened his back with the rabbit in his hand and removed his disguise.
He looked at the rabbit in his hand and smiled bitterly!
He was speechless. Over the past few days, he had already discovered that even though Su Wen was not an idiot when it came to directions, he definitely did not know the way and often made mistakes. In order to let Su Wen walk on the correct path, he had put in a lot of effort. He had no choice. Once Su Wen took the wrong path, he would have to waste a lot of time. If this continued, when would he reach Li Prefecture?
Su Wen didn’t know that Xue Wanjun and Ruan Ze had gotten into a conflict with each other as he lost his way in life.
Within the inn, Xue Wanjun’s expression was livid.
Ruan Ze said unhappily, “You shouldn’t have left him alone at that time! Before you left, Master Si told us that we must let Su Wen fight against powerful enemies during this trip. Now that Su Wen isn’t here, what should we do!”
Xue Wanjun gritted his teeth and said, “How would I know where he went? These past few days, we’ve already slowed down our pace, yet he hasn’t caught up. Who knows what he went to do? Perhaps he’s already fallen into that brothel’s drunken village. Who in the entire capital doesn’t know his profligate style? Moreover, you didn’t stop me back then, how is it all my fault?”
“The problem now is what we should do!” Ruan Ze gritted his teeth and said, “How can we find Su Wen?”
“Find him? Where? Who knows where he is? I only know that we have to get to Li Prefecture on time. Otherwise, it would be against His Majesty’s orders!”
After a round of debate, they were unable to come to a conclusion, so they could only continue forward.
At this moment, Su Wen ran into a caravan.
Most of the people in the caravan were muscular men. However, the leader was a woman who looked rather handsome. Although she could not be compared to the stunning beauties like Cui Yumian and Xie Yiyi, she was still a beauty.
“Miss, may I ask how to get to Li Prefecture?” Su Wen stepped forward and asked.
The woman sized up Su Wen and asked, “What do you do?”
Su Wen hurriedly replied, “My name is Su Daqiang and I live in the capital. I’ve been envious of the people who wander about the martial world since I was young. I just came out of my home and wanted to travel around. I heard that the Li Prefecture is currently in chaos, so I wanted to take a look!”
As the saying goes, one should always be wary of others. Su Wen’s words were completely true.
After hearing Su Wen’s words, the woman’s eyes lit up. She looked at Su Wen again and realized that he looked like a young master. He had delicate skin and was dressed luxuriously. It was obvious that he was a rookie with no experience in the martial arts world.
She asked gently, “Daqiang, do you know martial arts?”
“A little…”
“What cultivation base?”
“I’m at the 9th Grade Common Rank.” Su Wen immediately suppressed his cultivation base. However, he was not worried that the other party would be able to tell. Before he asked the question, he had already seen that the person with the highest cultivation level in the entire team was this woman in front of him. She was a 3rd Grade Star Rank, and he could eat the entire team at any time.
When the woman heard of Su Wen’s cultivation base, she immediately became slightly excited. “We’re also going to Li Prefecture. Why don’t we go together?”
Su Wen pondered for a moment and felt that it was indeed possible. After all, he was about to break down just asking for directions.
“Then I’ll thank Miss in advance.”
“Don’t call me Miss. My name is Murong Yan. You can call me Big Sister Yan. But Daqiang, we can go together, but we have to make some things clear first. If you go with us, you’ll have to pay some money!”
“Ah!” Su Wen was shocked. “I don’t have much money on me. How much do I have to pay?”
If anyone were to hear that Young Master Su, who was a spendthrift in the capital, was actually considering how much money he had, their jaws would definitely drop.
Su Wen was obviously putting on an act. When he was in the capital, he had Su Changqing as his backer. With his status, there was no need for him to keep a low profile. However, now that he was in the outside world, without a guard by his side, Su Wen became more cautious. He understood the principle of not revealing his wealth.
Murong Yan pondered for a moment before probing, “Five hundred taels, is that enough?”
“That’s too much! I only have three hundred taels of silver on me!” Su Wen screamed.
“Three hundred taels is fine too!” Murong Yan said, “If you go by yourself, you might run into something along the way! If you go with us, it’ll be safe, and you won’t have to worry about getting lost. You can even eat!”
Su Wen took out his money bag. There were three hundred taels of silver here that he had prepared in advance.
He asked reluctantly, “Can I give less…?”
Murong Yan smiled and said, “Daqiang, boys… have to be more big-hearted at times… Otherwise, girls won’t like you.”
Su Wen’s face flushed red with embarrassment. He glanced at Murong Yan and asked, “Does big sister also like boys who are big hearted and generous?”
“Of course…”
