Chapter 333: Follow My Commands

　　Qin Jun stood at the bow of the ship, watching the battle not far away with a poker face.

　　“Brother, is Jiang Yuan being schemed against?” His younger sibling who was accompanying him on this trip shouted out to him.

　　“Maybe,” Qin Jun answered after some time.

　　“I wonder how much they paid to be able to play tricks during the debate.” His younger sibling sighed. “How much do they hate him that they are going after his life?”

　　“Mm.” This was Qin Jun’s only reply.

　　“Let’s leave now, shall we? The king of beasts has already been angered, and all it has in its eyes is Jiang Yuan. If it decides to suddenly change targets or something, we may-”

　　“We’ll go over.”

　　The Qin young master was busy thinking about what to do next, so it took him a while to register what Qin Jun said. When he did, he looked at him in horror. “Brother, what did you say? We will get attacked if we go over now!”

　　“Yeah,” Qin Jun said calmly. “Just a little bit closer, enough to catch the king of beast’s attention.”

　　“Brother, do you wish to help him?” The Qin young master looked at his elder brother in shock.

　　Qin Jun’s eyes trailed after Chu Zhengyan and his team’s boat and nodded. “If something bad happens to him, I’ll be alone.”

　　The nickname Four Princes of Yunjing symbolized their great talent. There would only be three winners from the third round, and everyone was expecting them to be from the four princes. Now, Jiang Yuan was in trouble, so it was assumed that the top three would be the Floating Cloud young master, Chu Zhengyan, and Qin Jun. However, there were always surprises in life. Chu Zhengyan and the Floating Cloud young master were obviously joining forces, so who knew if they would work together to eliminate Qin Jun first? The possibility of this happening was high, so he needed to prepare himself for it.

　　After getting affirmation from his elder brother, the Qin young master moved quickly and drove the boat nearer. But they would only help to distract the beasts, not join in the battle.

　　Chu Zhengyan broke into a smile after seeing the boat moving closer. “Ah, he finally made his decision. Qin Jun is indeed afraid that we will join hands!”

　　The Floating Cloud young master remained emotionless, but his eyes were still stuck to the battle, showing great interest in it.

　　It could be said that the result of this battle would affect the third round and even the final result.

　　If Jiang Yuan was unlucky, Chu Zhengyan and the Floating Cloud young master would take over the third round and take the first two places successfully, unless one of them decided to backstab the other. If this happened, the Jiang family would be affected in many areas.

　　Chu Zhengyan seemed to be glad that this incident took place. “God bless the person who did this! It’s such a big helping hand.”

　　“It’s not you?” the Floating Cloud young master blurted.

　　“Me?” Chu Zhengyan looked at him, mouth agape. “Do you really think that the Chu family is powerful enough to achieve this?”

　　Playing tricks in the debate was not easy. One needed to pass through the Supreme Sacred Imperial Palace, and the Chu family wasn’t powerful enough to do that.

　　“Of course not from the Chu family, but you have more than one support, right?” the Floating Cloud young master continued.

　　As everyone knew, the reason why Prince Chu was so famous was mainly because of his master, Master Bao Guang, an elite from the emperor’s generation.

　　Chu Zhengyan sighed and pouted. “I didn’t know Brother Yun had so little trust in me! This is so heartbreaking.”

　　The Floating Cloud young master did not continue and went back to focusing on the battle.

　　Chu Zhengyan sighed and looked over too. However, what he saw rooted him to the ground. “Wha- what?!”

　　The trio had changed their formation.

　　Now, the person controlling the boat was the girl from the Ji family. The other Ji family member and Jiang Yuan were on the wings, as if… listening to her commands?!

　　Chu Zhengyan couldn’t help but blurt out a curse word. “What the hell, Jian Yuan… has given up the lead?!”

　　…

　　With the king of beasts harassing them non-stop and the water beasts coming up to attack them continuously, Lu Mingshu finally seized a chance to understand the situation.

　　Thanks to the Drug Lord’s experiments, she was able to stay focused for a longer period of time and think faster, which allowed her to collect more data.

　　To others, the formation’s existence was a pain because it brought along many distractions.

　　However, Lu Mingshu was glad that the spell formation was placed there.

　　Spell formations had patterns, and to her, it was obvious what the patterns were. One that was aware of the patterns would be able to work around them easily, while those who were not would have an extremely hard time.

　　She might not have understood spells, but she knew some stuff about them, enough to understand the pattern.

　　The spell formation was very simple. The actions of the water beasts could be calculated by how much one activated the spell, making it simple to settle for Lu Mingshu.

　　When the boundary Jiang Yuan made was broken apart, Lu Mingshu spoke up. “I can get us out.”

　　Jiang Yuan looked at her in doubt. “Huh?”

　　“I can get us out.”

　　After a while, when Jiang Yuan registered her words, she looked at Lu Mingshu sternly. “Miss Ji, it’s not the time for you to joke. This formation is not simple.”

　　“I meant what I said,” Lu Mingshu replied. “We can’t go on like this for long. If you think I’m joking, then do it your way.”

　　“Trust her!” Yan Wugui dodged a water arrow and yelled at Jiang Yuan. “My sister is dope!”

　　Seeing the confidence on his face, Jiang Yuan furrowed her eyebrows. “It’s not that I do not want to trust her. Are you aware of the risk?”

　　“I don’t think anything can be worse than this, right?”

　　The king of beasts roared, and Yan Wugui went up against it again.

　　“Even though Prince Qin is trying to divert its attention, he’s trying to test our ability too. If we aren’t good enough, he won’t want to waste his energy on us. If we show him that we can tackle this situation, he would surely help us. Prince Jiang, if you have any better idea, please use it, or me and my brother will escape on our own.”

　　“…” Hearing her, Jiang Yuan took a deep breath and nodded. “Okay, I trust you. Do it your way now.”

　　Their ability has been shown throughout this round. Even though their skills and tactics are weird, their ability is comparable to mine. But how can they be this good if they do not have seals? Or have the rebels been telling the truth? Seals are not related to ability, but an excuse to keep the aliens down?

　　“Let’s switch places. I’ll take the center while you take the wing.” Lu Mingshu waved her hand. “I’ll take the lead. Follow my commands strictly. If you decide to go on your own and something bad happens, I’m not accountable.”

　　Jiang Yuan had never been commanded before ever since she became famous, but she was aware of what the situation was, so she took it. “Okay.”

　　“I always listen to you, man!” Yan Wugui clapped and shouted to Lu Mingshu.

　　“Okay, let’s start now!”
