CoPW C297 – Acting so Weird
Posted on November 3, 2018 by AzureOrchid92
After the first time that Shao Xuan saw Su Gu, he meant to cooperate with him. However, he thought that there was something a bit strange. He could not say what, but a general feeling told him that Su Gu’s strength should not only stop there.
After returning to the tribal area, because he couldn’t figure it out, when he saw the camel chewing hay, Shao Xuan thought of the idea of divination.
While the travel team was on the way, Shao Xuan also tried divination several times. He counted how many sandstorm they’ll encounter in the desert and other weather changes. As for the distant or more complex events, he wasn’t able to predict, and the knots would be tangled in his fingers. It was not enough.
When he was tying the knots, it was not seen by other people. The knotted straws were also fed to the camel afterwards. Therefore, those who knew that Shao Xuan was knotting were only the two, Lei and Tuo.
This time, Shao Xuan only intended to try. If the ropes showed success, then it was naturally good, but a failure still did not matter. He would just choose the best choice for the moment.
He wanted to predict something related to the third young master, and, indeed, something come out. The ‘conclusion’ that came out only predicted of today’s event. It was about water being more dangerous, and that the third young master couldn’t wait to make an alliance with them and actively run to this side. Shao Xuan then said this to him, but as for Su Gu listening to it, Shao Xuan couldn’t ensure. If this third young master resisted the warning, there would be no need for an alliance.
On the other hand, when third young master Su Gu came out from the tribal area with a cold expression, he did not wander around, but directly went toward the city center.
The center of Luoye City was the place where the slave owners live. Not to mention the very low-leveled slaves of the city, very few slave owners stayed around the town area, and most were concentrated in the center of the city. But the difference here was that the king and the young masters could live in the highest palaces, while the other slave owners were not allowed there by the king. Since they could not set foot there, they would be killed without forgiveness otherwise. Even with the king’s friendship, you could still find death. Hence, as long as it was not too important, it was better to abide by the rules.
Wine? Have water? Avoid it again!
A group of slaves, carrying a large wooden box, came in from outside the palace. The wooden box was made from a sunset tree, which belonged to a slave owner under the Luoye king.
Seeing this wooden box, Su Gu knew that their water came.
In addition to owning the city, the Luoye king has a small oasis where the water they drink was being transported from.
Although there were a few deep wells in the city, the water was cloudy. If the turbid water from those wells were drunk for a long time, their skin would easily crack. This was one of the reasons why most of the city’s slaves had dry and cracked skins.
Most of the slave owners seek for the enjoyment of their whole family, and they have higher requirements in their material life. Therefore, every once in a while, the Luoye king would let people come to a distant oasis for the slave owners to enjoy.
Therefore, after seeing the big wooden box, Su Gu didn’t intend to pay much attention to it at first, but thought it was also related to “water”. Before walking again in a few footsteps, he moved his foot to take a turn towards the side and detoured.
After seeing Su Gu’s actions, Wu Shi looked at the young master with his mind extremely puzzled as he pondered: Today, third young master’s brain must have been buried in the sand* again? Why is he acting so weird?
However, after this thought about the actions not being normal, Wu Shi did not think much of it. He just followed the young master.
