Chapter 1342 - 1342: Politely Decline
However, it was true that they would choose people who were stronger and would not hold them back too much. But Young Master Qian’s cultivation level was far above theirs, so they had the idea that they did not need to protect him. “Old Sheng, you think so too, don’t you?” the captain asked, looking at the old and young.
Old Sheng flushed red in embarrassment, feeling extremely awkward.
It was true that he had this thought. Who wouldn’t want to be safer and obtain good treasures on the lake?
He was thinking that if Young Master Qian accompanied them out onto the lake, they might be able to hunt down the aquatic demonic beasts. Catching a Deepwater Shark Dragon was impossible, but they could catch the other demonic beasts.
However, things would be different if he brought a woman along. Young Master Qian would definitely take care of his wife. How could he care about anything else?
“Maybe you’re right. Young Master Qian did hire us to protect him, but…
Captain, isn’t it good to avoid some trouble?”
He still felt that women should not be on the lake.
The captain frowned and looked at Old Sheng seriously.
He was about to open his mouth when Old Sheng interrupted him and said,
“Alright, I know what you want to say. I’ll stop talking, okay?” Old Sheng felt that if he continued, he would be sent home too.
“I was wrong. I shouldn’t think such unrealistic things. But shouldn’t we discuss the price with Young Master Qian again since he wants to take his wife to the lake?”
Protecting one person and two people—one of whom was a woman—was very different.
“What did you say? I didn’t quite hear you.” The captain stared at him and enunciated each word clearly.
“Uh…” Old Sheng was stunned again. “I didn’t say anything. You heard wrong.” He stuffed the medicinal pills into the captain’s hands and turned to leave.
What else could he say? Their captain was a fool. Nothing could get through him, so he decided not to say anything.
“Gasp!”
In a cabin on a large boat beside them, Captain Han had already eaten a medicinal pill to treat his injuries. However, his face and body still hurt.
Any movement caused him to gasp in pain.
“Who is that woman? How is she so powerful?”
He was furious at the thought of that woman. He had been living on the shores of Beiyuan Lake for many years, but this was the first time he had been beaten up.
The man beside Captain Han asked softly, “Aren’t we all here to go out onto the lake? Captain, she’s a woman. Who would have the ability to take her to the lake?”
Everyone became wary of women and would politely decline them because of past accidents. There was a team that took a woman out onto the lake, but when they returned, there were hardly any survivors; they were almost completely wiped off.
Since then, no team was willing to be hired by women, not even if they were sent by the Emperor.
“How would I know?”
Captain Han glared at him and muttered to himself, “With hands as ruthless as that woman’s, there are probably plenty who want to bring her out onto the lake.”
After all, she had beaten him up so badly that he could not retaliate..
