Shu Guan placed the leather case he held onto the table and then opened it.
Worried about accidents befalling the two—Lion King Beichen and lady Qingmei—Shu Guan now always carried the young tree in the leather case with him everywhere he went.
Of course, Shu Guan wasn't opening the leather case to take out that young tree now.
He took out a box of bullets.
Back when he had bid farewell to his second senior brother, Mu Yao, in Jing City, the senior brother had given him a handgun and several boxes of bullets infused with spiritual power.
They were gifts from his third senior sister, Shi Jianqiao, fourth senior brother, Qiuyang, and sixth senior brother, Sang Liren.
The handgun, of course, was crafted by fourth senior brother Qiuyang, while the bullets were made in collaboration by all three of them.
