"I explain, but you'll have to let me lead the rest of the trip.", Shen Hua spoke in the same tone that Lu Yin used.
"That will depend on your ability to convince me.", Lu Yin didn't mind giving up control.
"Master-", Yami tried to protest, but seeing Lu Yin's gaze she was silent.
"Right. I won't talk about the plan because I don't have one. I'll tell you why I believe we can do this theft.", Shen Hua said and paused to see if Lu Yin would agree.
Lu Yin nodded and sat down, seeing Lu Yin sat down Shen Ruo and Yami sat down too. Shen Hua extended a stick made of sand from his hand and used it to write on the floor. He wrote the total number of cultivators at the top, below the amount of cultivators at each level.
"Class time! First question. We're being hunted, tell me how many cultivators are in the hunting group?", Shen Hua looked at the three sitting and asked.
"One group must be made up of twenty cultivators, the two silver rank of the army and the rest high and medium levels.", Yami spoke with confidence.
"Wrong! Shen Ruo your turn.", Shen Hua said jokingly making Yami angry, but she didn't complain because of your master.
"Um, I don't think they will send both silver levels for mission. If it were I, would send the highest level, I would also send all the high and rising levels, and some medium levels to complete a unit of twenty.", Shen Ruo thought for a moment before speaking.
"Correct! Now tell me how many high and rising level bronzes and mid level bronzes have on this team?", Shen Hua kept asking.
"I think four high and rising levels and the other fifteen medium levels.", Shen Xiao taught Shen Ruo, during the time that Shen Hua was hunting, among the subjects were battle tactics, army formations, and other related subjects to war.
"Right again. So now there are two silver cultivators and hundred one bronzes cultivators. Of these six are high and rising levels, twenty five average levels and we keep the seventy levels low. Now how many of those do you think are part of the army?", Shen Hua wanted to see how much knowledge Shen Ruo has.
"One of the silver levels is a patriarch of another family so he is already out. I said they sent only four because the others would be from other noble families, after all people who reach this level are usually noble and do not join the army. The rest As for the low levels it is hard to say, I believe he has about thirty in the army, after all, low levels are common in the noble families.", Shen Ruo was inspired on the Raven cultivators, than Shen Xiao told him.
"That must be it. That leaves us with a silver cultivator, twelve medium level bronzes, and thirty low levels. Next question. What are these cultivators missions?", that was the last question,' Is he really good at this. I came to these conclusions after reading several manga and movies, but he came to them studying for a
only month. "
"The silver level and some medium bronze levels should be the King's guard, after all they would not risk leaving the King alone with an enemy cultivator in their territory. As for the other medium levels should be scattered throughout the country taking care of the cities. The low level cultivators-", Shen Ruo was interrupted.
"Protecting valuable targets like the vault.", Lu Yin said excitedly
Shen Hua smiled too, "That's right! As cultivators with the same level cannot feel each other, I can break into this vault. I just need to make some preparations first."
"Are you confident you can do this? A robbery is not easy." Lu Yin convinced himself it would be possible after hearing Shen Ruo's reasoning, but was concerned about Shen Hua's ability to carry out this theft. He would go alone but lack the proper skills for a robbery.
Shen Hua and Shen Ruo looked at each other, Shen Hua turned to Lu Yin, "Don't worry. This is not my first robbery."
Lu Yin wanted to ask more, but Shen Hua interrupted him, "Let's go on our trip. We don't have much time, this robbery has to be done this afternoon."
"This afternoon? Why does it have to be so fast?", Yami asked. After Shen Hua said she was wrong she got angry, but after hearing Shen Ruo she realized she was really wrong. She wanted a chance to prove her value herself to Lu Yin so she thought helping Shen Hua with the theft would be a good way.
"Interested now? Okay, I need help, so you're welcome. Let's do it this afternoon because the idiots will still be looking for Lu Yin or waiting for him on the convoy. Besides I have an appointment, so we need to back early.", Shen Hua was walking in front of the group and spoke to Yami without stopping walking.
"And what do you need prepare?", Yami focused on the theft, she didn't want to get into another fight with Shen Hua.
"Poison, right?" Shen Ruo asked Shen Hua.
"No, I already have some I did before I left. What I need is acid.", Shen Hua spoke with the expression emitting bloodlust.
'Hey, you don't waste time. I just want to melt human bodies and you're already trying to take control, nor is it such a bad feeling.', Shen Hua spoke to Ichimaru. ' I just take the opportunities that come up. And what is this story of corroding bodies, that's sinister.', Ichimaru replied, pretending to be scared.
'Does your fire do the same and is complaining about some acid? Ahh, I forgot it's a child, just don't cry, baby.', Shen Hua teased a little. 'How dare you say I'm a child !? I am over a hundred years old!', Ichimaru hated being called that, especially by someone one tenth of his age.
'With that appearance it's hard to believe you.' Shen Hua and Ichimaru kept discuss until they reached the city gates.
