<h4>Chapter 2369: Chapter 2369: Lotus Seed</h4>


    "Follow me, wait until I’ve finished my current business, and I’ll apany you back."


    Julius Reed suddenly drew his sword!


    "Oh no! Are you going to kill me to silence me? You’re not being honest!"


    Before Jayceon Rose finished speaking, Julius Reed’s longsword shed down!


    Thunk!


    In the air, a burst of blood mist exploded.


    Immediately after, a man appeared out of thin air, copsed to the ground, already dead.


    "What? Where did this persone from?" Jayceon Rose was clearly startled. Realizing that he wasn’t the target, he quickly surveyed the surroundings.


    A person appearing out of nowhere?


    That’s terrifying! Even martial artists can’t turn invisible!


    "Is it a human or a ghost?" Jayceon Rose quickly hid behind Julius Reed.


    He didn’t feel it’s shameful at all for the mighty head of the Lu family to be so timid.


    In Jayceon Rose’s eyes, nothing is more important than being alive.


    "It’s human, not a ghost." Julius Reed closed his eyes, everything around him returned to the eerie silence.


    He didn’t sense anything unusual, it seemed there was only that one earlier.


    But just one was already very terrifying.


    Julius Reed had been running fast, yet he was followed.


    Apparently, there are many people like Isaak Ridge.


    He came from the temple, managing a huge time gap; in a few hours, when all these guys appear, it will be dangerous.


    "Are there more?" Jayceon Rose hid behind Julius Reed, ncing around: "Who are these people?"


    "A group of very capable scouts. I’m temporarily unsure of who they are, I’m still investigating." Julius Reed scanned around once more, ensuring no problems before retracting his longsword.


    It was just a slight change earlier.


    The leaves on the ground rustled a bit.


    Once Julius Reed struck, he indeed killed a person following him.


    "This feeling of being surrounded by enemies everywhere is really unsettling." He looked at Jayceon Rose: "This is my situation, now you have two options; either you return to the Lu family now. I can’t guarantee if your family will kill you, but that old man chasing you earlier is terrifying! He can take your life at any time."


    "What’s the second option?" Jayceon Rose shouted in agony: "Why are there only two options? Can’t there be more choices?"


    Every time it’s just one option or two!


    Even a third option is rare.


    "The second option, you’ve seen my situation, the surroundings are full of enemies, you can choose to follow me, and I’ll do my utmost to protect you." Julius Reed added: "Of course, I can’t guarantee you’ll definitely survive."


    "Alright, if I go on my own, I’ll surely die, following you might give me a few extra days." Jayceon Rose reluctantly nodded: "I’ll go with you."


    "I’ll protect you, but not for free. I have a condition, it’s simple, take me back to the Lu family, let me see that te." Julius Reed said calmly.


    "This matter, I probably can’t make the decision." Jayceon Rose spoke honestly, he indeed couldn’t make the decision.


    In martial arts, the head rules the household, everything requires the head’s consent.


    He had killed the head’s son, and returning to the Lu family, his situation will be difficult.


    "If you can’t decide, then I’ll make you decide. If someone disagrees, I’ll deal with them. And you, I’ll make sure you’re in a position to make decisions, alright?"


    Julius Reed patted his sword at his waist: "Does this thing work?"


    "It works." Jayceon Rose nodded.


    "As long as it works." After speaking, Julius Reed left the woods.


    Back at the hotel, Trent Marsh stood at the entrance.


    "Why aren’t you going in?" Julius Reed asked.


    "Inside is your woman, what would I do going in?" Trent Marsh looked at Jayceon Rose, pointed at him, and said: "Hey, isn’t this the one who ran away earlier? I said fighting isn’t his strong suit, but he sure is good at running!"


    "Don’t tease me, you guys are all experts." Though Jayceon Rose wasn’t skilled himself, he could assess people.


    After all, he was the head of the Lu family, usually interacting with top experts.


    Jayceon Rose knew what an expert should be like.


    The person in front of him was an expert.


    "Quite interesting, stay with me tonight." Trent Marsh pulled Jayceon Rose over,ughing: "Not bad, you’ve got some guts, daring to catch the Golden Cicada?"


    "Who is Golden Cicada?" Jayceon Rose looked bewildered.


    "Ha, no wonder." Trent Marsh first froze, then smiled: "Newborn calf doesn’t fear the tiger, huh. The Golden Cicada is the guy you were chasing, he isn’t as skilled as me, but he’s very strong!"


    "He’s indeed strong." Jayceon Rose scratched his head, unsure how to respond.


    "You go to the room next door; we’re outside, you can rest assured." Julius Reed sent Jayceon Rose away and quietly asked Trent Marsh, "Do you know about the Yellow Dao Lotus Shadow?"


    ording to Jayceon Rose, the Yellow Dao Lotus Shadow was the Saint’s reward.


    Then this person should be Silvio Reed.


    Things rewarded by Silvio Reed, Trent Marsh should logically know.


    "Never heard of it, don’t know what it is!" Trent Marsh shook his head, asked back: "What is it?"


    He sensed the underlying issue.


    "You really don’t know the Yellow Dao Lotus Shadow?" Julius Reed pushed open the door, Longwu was doing her makeup, looking quite pleased.


    "You seem quite rxed?"


    "With you around, what issues could I have?" Longwu stood up and spoke alluringly: "Being the Saint’s woman isfortable, secure, peaceful, safe."


    "Stop flirting, you wretched woman, you’re disgusting me." Trent Marsh rudely cursed.


    They belong to the same family, with simr status in Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance.


    Naturally, they’re blunt with each other.


    "Ha-ha, you’re just envious, jealous. You useless man only knows fighting and killing all day, do you understand what love is? Look at Julius Reed, he has more women around him than you have subordinates. Trent Marsh, you’ve really failed!"


    Longwu retorted sharply, without politeness.


    "Stop arguing." Julius Reed felt like his head would explode; why couldn’t these two be quiet for a moment?


    "Longwu, do you know the Yellow Dao Lotus Shadow?" Julius Reed asked.


    "Never heard of it." Longwu shook her head, "What is it?"


    "Neither of you know?" Julius Reed frowned, somewhat surprised. "Golden Cicada stole this thing, ording to the Lu family, underneath the Yellow Dao Lotus Shadow is a te with writing, saying it’s the Saint’s reward, with Silvio Reed’s name."


    "The Saint’s reward? What exactly is that?" Longwu asked again, "The Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance rewards are handled by me, it’s the duty of the Saintess, howe I don’t know about the Yellow Dao Lotus Shadow?"


    "Indeed, the rewarding items are all from her." Trent Marsh pointed at Longwu.


    "Seems like it’s a yellow lotus? Shining with a golden light?"


    Julius Reed could only speak based on Jayceon Rose’s description.


    "Southeast Lu family! I remember now! Back then, Silvio Reed indeed gifted something to Alvar Rose, but it was a lotus seed." Longwu spoke in surprise.
