Chapter 2007: The Strong’s Strength Did Not Come Out of Thin Air

The Yue family’s parents felt worried after they heard that Ning Shu was going to go on a training expedition. They knew in their hearts that although their daughter was a summoner, she was not competent at fighting.

If she was really going to train, it could be dangerous.

“Shuangshuang, could you please not go?” Mother Yue said to Ning Shu. “It’s too dangerous. Your Aunt Li said that those monsters can even easily pull out people’s intestines. Don’t take this risk.”

“I’ll be fine. I’m going with my classmates and there’ll also be a really powerful instructor. Nothing will happen.” Ning Shu tried to appease the couple.

“Stay safe. If something feels wrong, quickly flee. Your life is of the utmost importance,” Yue Xing told Ning Shu.

“If you ask me, it’s better to just marry someone and live a good life,” Mother Yue couldn’t help but say.

Ning Shu didn’t say anything. She knew that Mother Yue only wanted what was best for her.

There were many thorns and hardships you would need to overcome on the road to becoming strong. But that way, you would have a firm grasp on your own destiny. Why else would so many people want to be strong?

The strong’s strength did not come out of thin air. Instead, they achieved their strength through blood and sweat. Thus, the strong should be respected.

As soon as the break started, Ning Shu packed up and prepared to go to Death Mountain.

Death Mountain was a very dangerous and huge mountain range on this continent with an extremely large area. Inside, it was entrenched with various powerful monsters and resources.

Although many people had died in Death Mountain, that didn’t stop summoners and mercenaries from still going there. In the end, though, very few people survived it.

The corpses on the mountain would be eaten by monsters and then be pooped out in little puffs.

However, the danger of Death Mountain was directly proportional to the opportunities you would get from going there. There were many treasures on the mountain.

As a result, Ning Shu planned to go to Death Mountain with a mercenary team. It was too slow and dangerous to go alone. Plus, this way she would also make some money.

Ning Shu went to register for a junior mercenary qualification certificate. Then, she took on a task to protect and act as an escort for a young noblewoman traveling to Death Mountain.

There were quite a few mercenaries who took this task. As soon as they saw Ning Shu’s young face, they couldn’t help but knit their brows. In the eyes of these mercenaries who licked the blood off their knives, Ning Shu was still too green.

A team that had an inexperienced rookie who couldn’t figure out what was happening would be completely annihilated.

“What can you do?” Asked a man with a scar on his face as he stared at Ning Shu.

“I can lift a boulder. Is that enough?” Ning Shu asked.

The man with the scar looked dumbfounded. “It’s better for you to go home and get with a man. This kind of thing isn’t something you can do.”

“Let her come,” A melodious female voice sounded. Ning Shu turned to see a woman in a long skirt and a veil.

Her figure was charming and graceful, and her wide eyes were beautiful and moving.

“Miss Mu! You’ve arrived,” the man with the scar said quickly.

Ning Shu thought quickly, Miss Mu?

Mu Ziqi’s family?

This person was probably Mu Ziqi’s older sister.

“Let’s head out now,” said Miss Mu.

Miss Mu turned around and climbed into a gorgeous carriage that was being pulled by a magic horse.

This kind of magic horse had monster blood and had more stamina when running than ordinary horses.

While looking towards the guards in the front, Ning Shu followed the mercenary team, which was following Miss Mu’s group.

It was reasonable for the Mu family’s daughters to be protected by a lot of guards when they go out. There were relatively few guards here, but there was an older man in a black robe.

Ning Shu vaguely felt that this old man was very powerful.

The hunchbacked old man seemed to feel Ning Shu’s gaze. He turned his head and fixed his eyes on Ning Shu. His gaze was extremely piercing. Ning Shu felt as if her face was being pricked, and she pretended nonchalantly to move her gaze.

The old man stared at Ning Shu for a while before he turned his gaze back.
