Chapter 199: The Pretender
Ma Wu escorted the cargo to Blue Poplar Village. The three bagworm moths said their reluctant farewells, and Qin also had to leave.
Next, Ma Wu would deliver the cargo to Greenwater City. On this stretch of the journey, almost no one could protect him. He had to rely entirely on his own cultivation and experience.
Ma Wu was only a level-two cultivator and not particularly strong, but he was very experienced. He raised the Lu Family's main banner.
Blue Poplar Village belonged to the Lu Family, so there was nothing wrong with Ma Wu raising their banner. As long as the banner was raised, ordinary bandits and petty thieves would not dare approach.
The journey to Greenwater City went smoothly. After delivering the goods, Ma Wu stopped to buy a newspaper.
On the second page of the paper, there was still news about Ma Wu. It reported how he was supposedly accomplishing great things in Blue Poplar Village.
That report contained nothing new, but another article caught Ma Wu's attention.
"The Lu Family Loses Blue Poplar Village; Incompetent Heirs Ruin Family Legacy."
Who wrote this? Who would dare slap the Lu Family in the face like this, right out in the open? This newspaper has some serious nerves. Wait a moment, Ma Wu muttered inwardly. The one with the nerve might not be the newspaper at all.
