Creation of the Universe

In order to protect herself, Shen Jingjuan promised to give the two men a generous reward and cooperate with them to kidnap Shen Yunli.

She hoped to exchange this for her own safety. Anyway, Shen Yunli's life or death was irrelevant to her. If there was any chance, she would cooperate with her brother Shen Jingming to make Shen Yunli disappear without these two people taking action.

Because if the Shen family really produced a Martial God, then the two brothers and sisters would have to depend on Shen Yunli's mood to survive in the future, which is absolutely unacceptable.

The two men began to hesitate about the conditions proposed by Shen Jingjuan.

One person said first: "If this is the case, won't we be able to get double the benefits?"

His companion disagreed. "It's not that simple. Don't be fooled by this girl. Once she leads us back to Jinning City, she might turn hostile. If the Jinning Palace sends out a large number of troops, won't you and I be trapped?"

After this reminder, the man, who was originally a little shaken, quickly changed his expression.

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that? You little girl is so mean. You actually wanted to trick us into falling into your trap. It's really hateful!"

As he said that, he raised his hand and slapped Shen Jingjuan on the cheek.

Shen Zhan felt unsatisfied even when watching from afar. At this moment, he actually hoped that the two men could be more ruthless. Women like Shen Jingjuan were full of hateful qualities and did not deserve any sympathy at all.

Shen Jingjuan, who was stunned by the beating, stopped talking. She finally realized that her tactics of coercion and inducement were not working at all. If she continued to talk nonsense, she would only get more beatings.

At this time, the two men began to discuss their trip to Southern Qi. What they needed most at the moment was horses.

"Go to the city and find a way to get some horses. We can't walk to Southern Qi, right?"

"Horses alone are not enough. Two grown men escorting a woman along the road is too conspicuous. We still need a carriage. But I've seen that buying a carriage costs a lot of money."

The two began to discuss how to solve the problem of travel. The journey to Southern Qi was long, and it would be impossible to travel without a suitable carriage.

But as they talked, they started arguing because of their different opinions, and in the end they had to give up for the time being.

Shen Zhan returned to the main road, and soon he met Jia Zhong who had arrived earlier. At this time, the latter had already completed all the matters, and the caravan had successfully left the city.

"Brother, the caravan is coming this way. I'll come over in advance to meet you."

Jia Zhong was very excited to be able to travel with Shen Zhan.

"Are there any extra carriages in the caravan?"

Shen Zhan suddenly asked.

"Yes, I prepared a one-person carriage for you, big brother. It's covered with a thick layer of mink fur. It's very comfortable!"

"Big brother, you don't have to worry about being cramped when you want to lie down and sleep. It's spacious and comfortable, and you don't have to worry about being disturbed."

Jia Zhong patted his chest and assured Shen Zhan.

"No need to be so kind. Let's arrange another one. Any cargo truck will do. It just needs to carry one more person."

"Okay, listen to big brother."

Jia Zhong immediately agreed readily.

When he asked who was going to ride in the carriage, Shen Zhan told him the next plan.

Shen Zhan said that he had no interest in rescuing Shen Jingjuan, but he did not want to let the two kidnappers continue to do what they wanted, which might harm Shen Yunli one day. Therefore, he decided to find an opportunity to let the three of them follow the caravan so that he could monitor them at any time.

What's more, Shen Jingjuan is also an important chess piece. Maybe when the queen sends people to hunt her down, she can use this woman as a shield.

Afterwards, the caravan arrived here as planned. Jia Zhong asked everyone to start lighting a fire and cooking. The arrival of dozens of people broke the original silence, and the people in the dilapidated temple in the distance naturally noticed the situation here.

Shen Zhan sat in front of the campfire, eating the hot food and soup that Jia Zhong handed to him. After a while, someone noticed that two figures were approaching this side in the distance.

Jia Zhong kept in mind the countermeasures that Shen Zhan had instructed him to do, and took the initiative to approach them and start a conversation. The plan went very smoothly, and both sides quickly reached an agreement.

The two men first asked Jia Zhong where the caravan was going, and then asked to go with the caravan. They claimed that they had a seriously ill sister and needed to take a carriage to continue their journey.

Jia Zhong agreed to their requests one by one, but he was thinking in his heart that what these two people said was exactly the same as what his eldest brother had told him in advance. It turned out that his eldest brother was really smart and nothing could escape his control.

So the two kidnappers successfully joined the caravan. They also brought Shen Jingjuan, who was restrained by the soul-forbidden talisman. In front of others, they acted like brother and sister, but if you look closely, you will find that this is full of loopholes.

"Thank you, Master Jia, for taking me in. My name is Li Zhu, and he is my brother, Wang Xin. My sister is ill and can't show up in public, so I can only leave her in the carriage for the time being. I'm really sorry for disturbing you."

The man named Li Zhu had an apologetic look on his face, which was very different from the fierce look he had shown when he treated Shen Jingjuan before.

Shen Zhan, who was sitting next to him, deliberately avoided Shen Jingjuan to prevent the latter from recognizing him and ruining the matter.

Now he pretended to be enthusiastic and called Li Zhu and Wang Xin over, inviting them to enjoy the food together, and by the way, he also asked them questions indirectly.

"You two aren't brothers, are you? You don't even have the same last name?"

Wang Xin replied, "Yes, but we are as close as brothers. We have been trying to make a living together for a long time."

"Whose girl is that in the carriage?"

"It's my sister. She's weak and somehow got sick. She can't stand the cold wind at night and has to hide in the carriage."

Li Zhu answered seemingly naturally.

Shen Zhan nodded, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was somewhat intriguing.

He then asked, "Since you are sick, you must go to the doctor immediately. Don't delay treatment, otherwise your condition will get worse."

"Um... I've already seen a doctor and taken some medicine, but my health isn't good and it'll take me longer to recover."

As he spoke, Li Zhu prepared to make some broth to send to Shen Jingjuan, so that he would appear to be a brother who loved his sister. However, his action was stopped in time by Shen Zhan.

"Since you're sick, don't eat greasy, meaty foods. You should focus on light, warming foods. To be honest, I know a little bit about medicine, so I can make a pot of vegetable soup for your sister that will be beneficial for her recovery. Please wait here for a moment."

Having said that, he stood up and walked away.

Li Zhu kept thanking him, "Thank you very much, sir. It's a blessing for us to meet such kind people like you!"
