Chapter 96: Smooth Return

Chapter 96 Smooth Return
On the evening of the fourth day of our stay in Nathan, five ships appeared from where the water and the sky met, approaching from far away.

"Uncle Master, the fleet has arrived! We can return now!!"

Lu Jin stood on the beach, waving excitedly and shouting loudly into the distance.

"It's good to be here."

Jiang Mo stood up and walked lightly towards the safe haven where the medical resources were stored. Over the past few days, he had been controlling the surrounding clouds to make rain impossible, thus preventing the goods from getting wet.

About half an hour later, the ship docked at the beach. Lu You waved at him. Guards such as Qiao Yue were also there, as well as a large number of armed bodyguards, more than a hundred people in total.

The handover process was not complicated. The hired boatmen were nimble and strong, all of them were recruited from the docks and were very familiar with handling cargo.

In less than four hours, they had carried all the mountains of medical resources onto five ships.

Night, Chou time.

"Set sail! Return!"

Following Lu You's order, the crew and the helmsman began to work. The anchor was pulled up, the ship made a mechanical roar, billowing black smoke poured into the sky, the ship began to move, and headed towards the depths of the ocean.

In the distance, on a cliff lined with strange rocks, two slender figures gazed at the fleet that was gradually moving away and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go back."

"Ah."

A transparent vortex emerged, sucking the two Nathan Guards in.

Inside the cabin, in a bright study, Lu You was enthusiastically making coffee and handing it to Jiang Mo and Lu Jin.

"Uncle San, why are you here so late?"

Lu Jin took the warm coffee, took a sip, sat on the sofa, and relaxed.

"I was delayed. We encountered a storm at sea. In this weather, I dare not run around."

Lu You was very emotional. This trip's luck was really bad to the extreme, especially the experience on the island, which was more like a nightmare.

"By the way, did you see Uncle Xu on the island?"

"No, according to the islanders, Xu Bo escaped many days ago."

Although the elder was also an extraordinary person with considerable strength, Lu Jin was still somewhat worried.

".I hope he's okay, maybe he's back home by now."

Lu You was uneasy. He sat on the wooden chair tiredly, rubbing his temples, and said distressedly: "It's a troubled time."

"Master Jiang, do you have any plans for the near future?"

"Have."

Jiang Mo responded with a faint smile. As soon as Lu You opened his mouth, he guessed the other party's intention and refused immediately. He didn't want to interfere in the affairs on the other side of the ocean for the time being.

"Well, forget it then."

Lu You was naturally a smart man, so he didn't ask any further questions.

Afterwards, Jiang Mo asked Lu You for paper and pen, and wrote a batch of books, weapons, mechanical tools, etc., and discussed with Lu You.

"Excuse me for asking, Mr. Lu, do you have any way to get the things above?"

"What's the normal price? I'm willing to pay 20% higher than the market price. Please deliver the Sany door as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Lu You took the note, glanced at it casually, and agreed without hesitation:
"These things are not worth much. Master Jiang, if you want them, I will arrange it and send them to you in half a month."

"As for the fees, I dare not accept them. You have come thousands of miles to save me. It would be too shabby and stingy if I were to haggle over such a great favor."

Seeing that he was determined to refuse, Jiang Mo had no choice but to give up and bowed, saying, "Okay, thank you very much."

"polite."

The few of them chatted until very late before they went their separate ways.

On the evening of the third day of the ship's voyage, it successfully returned to the mainland port, and the cargo was loaded and unloaded.

Jiang Mo and Lu Jin did not stay at the dock, but went to the Lu family to meet with Lu Gong and Lu Xuan, and talked in detail about what they had encountered along the way. They were also told that the guard named Xu had returned to the city a few days ago and was currently recuperating in the clinic.

"Thank you for your hard work, Master Jiang. I am really grateful to you."

Mr. Lu held Jiang Mo's hand and muttered a lot. After this incident, their Lu family really owed a huge favor to the Sanyi Sect.

"You're too polite, it's just a convenience." Jiang Mo told the old man not to take it to heart.

At night, Mr. Lu held a banquet again to entertain Jiang Mo and Lu Jin, and to celebrate Lu You's return. He drank several glasses of fine wine in a row, which made him feel relieved and refreshed.

After having a good meal and a good drink, Lu Jin planned to take his uncle out for a walk. As soon as he walked out of the door, he bumped into a familiar figure. It was Liu Deshui, who had recovered from his injury and came alone. "Master Lu, long time no see. I have been waiting for you to come back these days."

As soon as they met, Liu Deshui got straight to the point and bowed politely to apologize: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you and Director Zuo before, I'm really ashamed."

"What's wrong? Brother Liu."

Lu Jin frowned. He didn't expect that this guy was still staying in the city for the past week.

However, he is not a narrow-minded person. Since he said that the matter was over that day, he would not target her deliberately anymore.

"Nothing, I just want to see you and explain what happened. My master told me everything during the days I was recovering from my injuries."

Liu Deshui stood there, revealing a sense of helplessness and regret as he spoke.

"Oh? What's the matter, Brother Liu?" Lu Jin guessed some possibilities, but was not sure.

"When we were taking the examination in the lower house, my personality was not suitable for the third level of the Reverse Life. However, Master Zuo still chose a suitable path for me and introduced me to my current mentor. He even kept the matter secret and showed me and my mentor enough respect."

"But for many years, I have been brooding over it and holding a grudge, which I am truly ashamed of."

Liu Deshui's eyes were red, and he apologized to Lu Jin solemnly: "I am sorry for you"

"Now that you know, just let it go, Brother Liu, there's no need to be sad."

"I can't do it because this is really ridiculous," Liu Deshui apologized to Lu Jin again.

"Stop, Brother Liu, let's stop here. I don't mind. I hope you will do the same and get out of here as soon as possible."

Lu Jin patted Liu Deshui on the shoulder, a simple action that was worth a thousand words.

"See you next time if there's a chance, Brother Liu. I have to go out with my uncle, so goodbye."

"See you later, Master Lu."

Liu Deshui took a deep breath and felt as if he had been relieved. He waved goodbye and turned to leave.

"Walk slowly."

Lu Jin watched him go away. Even he himself did not expect that such an incident would happen.

"Uncle Master, what do you think?"

"How can I see that?"

Jiang Mo walked down the street, saying leisurely:

"This kid isn't a bad person, but he's very obsessed. Because of a small matter, he's been thinking about you and your brother for so many years, and he's trying hard to prove himself. He's really ambitious."

"It's not a shortcoming, but I tend to get stuck in a rut. Once I reach an important crossroads in life, I get carried away and lose control. I'm afraid I'll end up going down a dark path."

Lu Jin hesitated, pondered his uncle's judgment, and subconsciously asked: "Are you sure about him and it's hard for you to make the right choice?"

"Just saying it casually, maybe it's just intuition? When I was traveling, I also met many people with personality problems. I got used to it after seeing them so many times."

"Ah? Is it possible?" Lu Jin was puzzled.

"Well, people are divided into good and evil, clear and turbid. Many times, it is useless for me to pass on these experiences to you. You need to experience them yourself to understand."

Jiang Mo didn't elaborate much and just passed over the topic in a few words.

He and Lu Jin strolled around the night market and did not return to Lu's residence until late at night.

"Stay at home with your family and remember to practice the Soul-Breaking Spell. I'm going back to the mountain."

"Uncle-master, won't you stay for a few more days?" Lu Jin was stunned. He didn't expect the separation to come so suddenly. He felt a little reluctant.

"No, I have other things to do."

"Little Lu Jin, remember to hire a photographer to go up the mountain and take a group photo for everyone, and buy some gifts for your senior brothers and uncles."

Lu Jin wrote down all of Jiang Mo's instructions and said, "Okay, don't worry."

"Well, then Master Uncle will go first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Mo's body changed. A faint glow covered his entire body. The next moment, in Lu Jin's sight, he shattered into particles all over the sky and disappeared.

"So amazing! What is this? I'll have to ask my uncle to teach me later." Lu Jin was thinking about it in his mind.

At the same time, a silver light suddenly burst out from the pond in the back mountain of Trinity, and a figure walked out of the water.

Jiang Mo, who was soaked all over, slowly walked to the shore and murmured, "Well, the effect is not bad."
