Chapter 1407 - 1408: Interception 2

Mu Tiantian lightly said "oh" and didn’t speak further.

Shen Tiancheng didn’t say much either, but his gaze always seemed to hover over Mu Tiantian, making it impossible for Mu Tiantian to hide, yet it wasn’t appropriate to say anything more.

Until a piece of steaming, fragrant roasted meat was placed in front of her, Mu Tiantian suddenly jolted.

"You can still be scared by this? What are you thinking about?"

Shen Tiancheng’s voice was very gentle, and when speaking to Mu Tiantian, it was as if he were speaking to the closest person, with a touch of warmth between his brows.

Those familiar with him know that to see genuine warmth on Shen Tiancheng’s face is definitely wishful thinking.

But now, it was undeniably present.

Mu Tiantian didn’t act coy, accepting it.

Because it was too hot, she could only blow on it first, waiting for it to cool down a bit before eating.

Before long, Shen Tiancheng cut a wolf leg for Mu Tiantian, knowing she feared the heat, he took out the prepared tree trunk, placing it on it.

Not dirtying it, yet having a place to set it down.

He cut a piece of meat himself, blowing on it while eating.

"Do you know what waiting here means?"

After eating a piece of roasted meat, Shen Tiancheng suddenly spoke.

Mu Tiantian, who was eating roast meat, paused slightly, her gaze fixed on the meat in her hand, nodding.

"I know, I suppose the Commander Lu they mention, after one failed attempt, will send more people over."

Shen Tiancheng nodded with a smile, his voice lazy.

"Naturally, Lu Chengkuan has always been someone who won’t rest until achieving his goal. Since he has already taken deadly action against Bai Chenyao this time, he will absolutely not relent until he sees Bai Chenyao’s corpse!"

Mu Tiantian’s heart tightened.

Her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"Commander Lu?"

This was the first time Mu Tiantian inquired about someone originally unrelated to her, and that person’s identity was evidently very eminent.

Shen Tiancheng raised an eyebrow with a smile, his voice gentle.

"Yes, Commander Lu, Lu Chengkuan. Speaking of which, he was Bai Chenyao’s superior in the military back then. When Bai Chenyao retired, it was still him who personally signed the approval!"

Mu Tiantian: "..."

Since he was Bai Chenyao’s superior, why is he now trying to kill Bai Chenyao?

Moreover, as a commander, hiring mercenaries to assassinate a former subordinate... Not to mention Bai Chenyao’s identity, just the fact of Lu Chengkuan hiring mercenaries exceeds Xia Country’s law.

Xia Country has explicit legislation prohibiting mercenaries from entering Xia Country’s territory.

Yet now, as a commander, he flagrantly disregards Xia Country’s law...

Mu Tiantian’s heart skipped a beat, her gaze lifted almost instantly, looking at Shen Tiancheng.

Seeing Shen Tiancheng smilingly looking at her, Mu Tiantian didn’t dodge anymore.

"Him doing that"

"Is illegal!"

Shen Tiancheng spoke the words Mu Tiantian left out, his eyes smiling, yet the depth in his eyes was inscrutable, his voice still bearing a lazy tone.

"That’s why he wants to kill Bai Chenyao!"

Mu Tiantian: "..."

"It seems there are many things Bai Chenyao has never told you!"

Looking at the bewildered Mu Tiantian, Shen Tiancheng pondered slightly, smiling as he supplemented.

"You should know of Bai Chenyao’s identity in the military, he is the king of soldiers in the special forces. Mercenaries dare not step into Xia Country’s territory, largely due to fearing his presence. Five years ago, during a mission in the southern part of Y Country, Lu Chengkuan intended to kill Bai Chenyao, but Bai Chenyao’s life was resilient. Not only did he walk out of that wetland alive, he even completely annihilated the mercenary group Lu hired!"
