Outside Panyu City, one hundred and twenty miles away from the city.

Captain Wu Biao walked side by side with Shui Qilin, walking steadily at the forefront of the troops.

After several days of non-stop travel, he looked exhausted, and the originally bright armor on his body was covered with thick dust, but his eyes were shining with a bright light of hope, and there was no trace of tiredness or fatigue.

At this time, Wu Biao panted slightly, turned his head to look at the water Qilin beside him, and asked:

"Master Qilin, how far are we from Panyu City, the capital of Nanyue Kingdom?"

The Water Qilin looked straight ahead, his eyes as sharp as torches. After a moment of contemplation, he replied:

"Based on the current estimate of the journey, there are still about a hundred miles to go."

Hearing this, Wu Biao stopped in his tracks and even made a stop gesture unconsciously.

The soldiers following behind him were unable to dodge in time because the incident happened suddenly and almost bumped into his back.

After stabilizing his body, Wu Biao's face couldn't help but look a little hesitant.

He hesitated again and again, but finally mustered up the courage to say to Shui Qilin:

"In that case, Master Qilin, should we stop here for a while?

How about we wait until you go to the city to report the situation before making further plans?"

After all, this was the first time that the Water Qilin transformed into a human form, and it was still not quite accustomed to the various formalities and schemes in the human world.

It turned its head and looked at Wu Biao with a puzzled look, and asked in confusion:

“Why do you need to report it?”

In its eyes, its mission is accomplished once it reaches the Lingnan region.

Faced with Shui Qilin's "questioning", Wu Biao was suddenly speechless and the expression on his face froze instantly.

He carefully once again looked up and down at the young man in front of him, who was as bright as the breeze and the moon, and thought to himself:

Looking at his overall demeanor, he must be a descendant of a prominent family.

I think this is the first time that I have come out to handle such an important matter for Miss Shen, so it is normal that I lack some experience in dealing with such situations.

So, he coughed lightly to moisten his throat a little, and then said solemnly:

"Um... Lord Qilin, look, we're all dressed in Beiling Country attire. If we don't inform them of our situation in advance, I'm afraid...

I'm afraid those soldiers from Nanyue will mistakenly think that we have a large army approaching and are at the gates!

If this happens, a fierce fight is bound to break out!"

After he finished speaking, Captain Wu couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth a few times, revealing an extremely awkward smile.

At this time, after hearing this, Shui Qilin suddenly came to his senses.

It finally remembered that its master had indeed reminded it of this matter before it went out to do things.

However, the journey was too smooth, and the dog was extremely excited. Its mind was full of happiness, and it was completely immersed in the joy of successfully completing the task, so much so that it completely forgot the owner's instructions!

However, for Shui Qilin, there is no such thing as "embarrassment" at all.

It responded very crisply:

"Oh, it's because things went so smoothly that I forgot about it!

Don't worry, I'll contact General Shen right away!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shui Qilin walked to a relatively open place nearby and began to prepare to pass on the message to Shen Qingge who was far away on the other side.

At this moment, Captain Wu, who was standing not far behind the Water Qilin, saw this and couldn't help but show a hint of doubt and confusion on his face. He couldn't help but ask:

"Master Qilin, what are you doing? Do you have any way to contact General Shen?

You might as well take this letter I wrote and go to the city wall to report to the city guard first. It may be safer to do so!

If you find this inconvenient, I would like to personally escort you there. What do you think?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Captain Wu shook his head repeatedly while speaking.

Seeing this, the soldiers standing closer to him also lowered their voices and whispered to each other.

One of them whispered:

"Is this Qilin-sama reliable or not?

Look at him like this, he is just like a silly child who knows nothing!

Could it be that our Captain Wu has entrusted his services to the wrong person this time?

Can we still enter this city gate?"

Another person immediately echoed:

"That's right! Look at this Lord Qilin, his name is so resounding that at first glance one might mistake him for a god who has come down from heaven to save the world!

But the result is this…”

Everyone was talking at once, and when they were about to say a few more words, they suddenly felt a sharp gaze from Captain Wu. In an instant, they were like frightened birds, and they quickly shut their mouths in fear, not daring to say another word.

However, how could these people's whispers escape the water qilin's keen hearing?

In fact, this water qilin has always been extremely obedient to its master's orders, so along the way, it has never shown them even a trace of its divine power.

The reason why I stopped in this secluded place just now was just to find an opportunity to send a signal to the owner.

These mortals with mortal eyes actually regard it as a stupid and ignorant person, which is a great insult to this ancient mythical beast!

How could this not make it furious?

It looked unfriendly and responded in a stiff tone:

"Captain Wu, there's no need to say anything more. You just need to wait here. I'll be back soon!"

As soon as the words fell, its body moved suddenly, leaping into the sky like a flash of lightning, and hovering steadily in the air.

As everyone was staring in astonishment, it disappeared without a trace in the next moment.

This scene scared the soldiers nearby.

They were all dumbfounded, and when they came to their senses, they all fell to their knees in panic, kowtowed desperately and begged for mercy:

"Oh my god! Lord Qilin is an immortal!

We didn't know the true situation just now and might have offended the immortal!

I hope the Immortal will show mercy and spare us!"

Although the soldiers standing in the rear did not know what was happening, they saw their companions in front of them kneeling and kowtowing in such panic that they followed suit without knowing why.

As for the Water Qilin, it looked down from the air at the fearful expressions of the soldiers below. Finally, its anger subsided, and it flew towards the city with satisfaction...
