Chapter 482 Act (2)
nt to set up a stall, let's go together!!" The Missess started pleading."Alright, let's set up a stall, but perhaps change the sign..." Xiangyao thought for a moment. He felt that there were too many...Chapter 482 Behaviour 2
"We shouldn't bother with him. If he wants to die, let him do so. Without him, we have one less burden." A girl from the Luo family frowned and looked at Roaming with disgust.
"Yeah, you're right. We originally brought him along because of the other people in the Luo family, but it was不得已而為之。他還以為我們願意呢。”八哥也點點頭，這句話除了洛寶釵之外，其他人心裡都是一樣的想法，區別隻是有人埋在心中冇有說出來，有人想要說出來而已。
"Let's continue. Whether he's here or not doesn't matter!" Lu Juntao nodded, then began discussing what they should do in case of certain situations to ensure their own safety, even if it meant sacrificing some friends.
Secondly, he was talking about the current situation of the cafeteria and looking for any weaknesses that could allow them to escape.
Luo families and similar small groups were not unique; many such small groups had gathered together to discuss their plans. They all shared a common idea: they would sacrifice others but protect themselves at all costs, which was quite normal given the circumstances.
"I observed for an entire night. The corner with the least guards has the thickest walls, seemingly several inches thick with iron plates. Even if I had full strength, it would be difficult to break through such thickness in time! Currently, our only option is to try and find a way through the iron bars, but usually there are people guarding outside these iron bars, so unless we have some internal power or my sword were still here, it could cut several of them…" Lu Juntao pointed at certain places while explaining what he had understood and possible strategies, though useless.
"Yeah, if only I had a treasure sword. But it needs to be sharp too; mine probably wouldn't work." Eight Plover said, noting that treasure swords were categorized differently, and here only Lu Juntao's weapon could easily break through those thick iron bars.
"Even if we did have one, it would be useless because they'd take precautions against such an attempt and confiscate any weapons."
Everyone nodded in agreement, thinking that this was a futile hope, just like regaining their internal power—a currently impossible scenario.
"That's not necessarily true. If you want a treasure sword, I have one!"
A sudden statement startled everyone as they turned to look at the speaker—someone lying there seemingly asleep.
"You have a treasure sword That's impossible; your sword was confiscated too." Lu Baocai shook her head. She had seen Roaming’s sword taken away herself.
"Yes, my sword was confiscated…" Roaming nodded.
"Then you’re joking now—this isn’t the time for jokes!" Lu Juntao started to get a bit angry. He felt that Roaming didn't understand the situation; sleeping was one thing, but making jokes at this time was another.
"I never said it was a joke. My sword was confiscated, but only one." Roaming replied.
…"So you have another" Everyone fell silent. Who would carry two swords The way of the double sword was too rare and wasn't considered orthodox in swordsmanship.
"Of course!"
"Show it… Actually, showing it won’t help either; what good can your sword be…" Excitement among them turned to disappointment quickly. They thought Roaming wouldn’t have a decent sword given his status.
"My sword is just an extra one," Roaming said with a smile while pulling out the second sword.
"It's only for backup… Forget it, any sword is better than none; even if it can't cut through those iron bars, it can still protect us." Lu Juntao took the sword and drew it slightly to examine its quality.
“Ah... This sword…” Lu Juntao was immediately attracted by the sword's light. It wasn’t inferior to his own blade in any way.
"What about this sword" Lu Baocai asked.
"This sword surpasses mine; it’s an invaluable treasure and seems similar to Lingling’s." Lu Juntao said, having seen Lingling's sword before.
“Can this sword cut through those iron bars” Lu Baocai questioned. This seemed to be the most important issue for everyone.
"It can; these iron bars aren’t made of cold iron." Roaming casually stated.
"Then should we try" Several members of the Luo family were eager to test it out.
"Wait, I gave you this sword not for testing. Even if you regain all your martial arts skills, escaping won't be easy with people outside." Roaming said.
"You’re such a coward; even daring isn’t an option for you," the members of the Luo family didn’t stop mocking him merely because he had a good sword.
"Daring is only when there’s opportunity. Without one, it's just suicide." Roaming shrugged. "Of course, if you want to commit suicide, I won't mind. But I suggest waiting a bit longer; someone will soon prove the point for you."
"What" Luo's family and others were a bit confused.
"Look over there..." Free-and-Easy pointed in a direction where a small team was located. Someone seemed to be holding a glinting dagger, though they were being very careful about it, allowing Free-and-Easy to catch a glimpse from his angle.
When these people collected their weapons, they weren't particularly meticulous. Concealing daggers is normal, but why were these individuals so careless No one seemed concerned at the moment.
"Judging by their intentions, they want to escape now. You have two choices: observe what happens to them or use them as bait and run yourselves. However, the second option carries some risk, though not necessarily a guaranteed failure." Free-and-Easy said.
After some contemplation, Lu Juntao made his decision. He didn’t want to take risks; this wasn't worth it. If these people intended to kill them, then taking that risk might be necessary, but the current situation was different. They might even get peacefully released after this incident.
"That's right. However, to show you their strength, I’ll help those wanting to escape." After saying this, Free-and-Easy got up and headed towards the small team, leaving Luo’s family members exchanging puzzled glances—what did he mean What does providing a glimpse of their power have to do with helping others
"Wait wait, don’t get tense. I’m here to help. You don't want to draw attention from others, right" When Free-and-Easy arrived at the small team, they immediately surrounded him aggressively, though without any physical confrontation.
"Do you want us to take you with us That’s impossible. At most, we’ll call for help after escaping." One of them coldly said.
"I have no interest in going on a suicide mission with you," Free-and-Easy waved his hand and replied.
"What did you just say!" The people from the small team glared at him. Under different circumstances, they might have acted upon their anger.
Ignoring their looks, Free-and-Easy said smilingly, "That's fact. I also tried to advise but knew it would fall on deaf ears. So I’ll give you a plan that could increase your chances of success."
In reality, this was his attempt at saving them by providing assistance so they had a chance to escape; otherwise, there wouldn’t be any hope.
However, would others accept his good intentions The answer was no.
"We don't need your plan."
"Don’t say that. Do you know where we are" Free-and-Easy asked with a smile.
"Of course we do. We’re in Yuhua Temple!"
“If it's this, why should I ask you I could also call this place Yuhua Mountain or even Flowstone Nation,” replied Free-and-Easy.
The others didn’t understand his point.
"I want to know your position in the temple and what facilities are nearby," said Free-and-Easy.
"This... I don't know..." They shook their heads. As visitors, they hadn’t paid attention to these details.
“That’s it then,” continued Free-and-Easy. "Since you’re unaware of the surroundings outside, how effective do you think your plan is You’ll figure this out yourself."
"Then you know" The group looked at Free-and-Easy; if he mentioned this, surely he knew.
Free-and-Easy nodded and said, "I know. I toured the temple during daytime and observed its structure from the tower. Let me draw it for you and include my plan."
Saying that, he pulled out a pen and paper; such items were always carried in case they were needed at any time.
Quickly, Free-and-Easy sketched a map of Yuhua Temple along with its surrounding environment. Then, he wrote down his plan—where to start breaking through, how many people should go where, and what actions to take to draw attention—comprehensively detailing it on the paper.
"Once you’re familiar with this and arrange accordingly, you can act. Of course, you can choose not to use my plan and rely on your own." After saying that, he went back to where Luo’s family was seated and fell asleep right there on a chair without further comment.
The small team deliberated for a bit before deciding to follow Free-and-Easy's plan; it seemed perfect. They couldn’t think of anything better in this situation.
Soon, the team began executing their plan...
"Someone is escaping!"
Outside, people quickly noticed someone attempting an escape—a predictable event unfolding... (To be continued)humble servant.
