"Those chasing us have left; everyone need not worry," Xu Zii gestured with a smile.
"I don’t think this young master looks like a bad person. If he’s willing, let’s travel together."
The voice of the woman in the sedan chair rang out again.
The old man slightly shook his head and sighed, "Miss, it’s tough to judge a person’s heart by their face."
He looked at Xu Zii with a not-so-friendly expression and said, "Since my young mistress has spoken, you may follow behind the caravan.
I’ll make it clear from the start, if you have your own troubles, resolve them yourself and do not impede us."
"Rest assured," Xu Zii nodded.
A guard brought him a horse, Xu Zii placed Ji Ruobing on the horse, and he rode behind, slowly following the caravan.
He had intended to ride the Dark Heaven Tiger, but he was afraid of causing a sensation.
These people’s abilities were only of the True Vein, and even the strongest, the old man, was rely a Vein Practitioner at the Emperor Pulse Realm.
The Dark Heaven Tiger had now beco a Holy Beast. All that mattered was to safely reach Immortal City; standing out too much wasn’t good.
Light rain drizzled from the sky.
The caravan slowly moved forward on the road.
After traveling so distance, the sky gradually darkened.
The caravan found an open area and began to set up camp to rest.
The people were clearly experienced, working proficiently.
Over a dozen large pots were set up, containing at and vegetables they brought.
Nearby, so fetched water and began cooking.
Ji Ruobing was currently in a clear state, self-healing.
Xu Zii sensed around and found no issues, so he didn’t interfere further.
He found a relatively secluded place, planning to use it for resting at night.
He had barely sat down when he saw a woman walking out from the previously ntioned sedan.
The woman was quite attractive, an eight out of ten, dressed in a green robe embroidered with little flowers.
Her hair was styled into two lion’s mane-like braids.
Her face was slightly chubby, and when she smiled, a shallow dimple appeared on her left cheek.
The young woman approached Xu Zii, bowed slightly, and asked, "What should I call this young master?"
"Xu Zii," Xu Zii responded.
"Young Master Xu, is this lady seriously injured?" the young woman continued.
"She’s sustained so injuries, but it’s nothing serious," Xu Zii shook his head with a smile.
"My young mistress sent to ask if this lady is seriously hurt. She could rest in her tent tonight."
The young woman smiled graciously, "Since it’s raining today, the ground is rather damp, which might adversely affect her injuries."
"Thanks," Xu Zii nodded.
He looked at Ji Ruobing and smiled, "It’s not convenient for her to stay by my side. So, please bother your mistress.
Convey my thanks to her."
"No trouble at all. My mistress loves helping others," the maid smiled.
"In all of Sheng City where our Fan Family resides, everyone knows our mistress is like a Fairy descended from heaven, a benevolent soul."
Xu Zii chuckled lightly, carrying Ji Ruobing to the designated tent.
Being close, he could sll a faint scent of lavender in the air.
Xu Zii, feeling it inappropriate to enter, let the maid take Ji Ruobing inside, then he left.
The black cloth covering his eyes seed a bit dirty, he removed it to replace it with a new one.
At that mont, footsteps sounded nearby.
Xu Zii slightly turned his ear; he could sense the spiritual energy fluctuation within each person here.
This newcor’s spiritual energy was the strongest, likely that sa Emperor Pulse Realm old man.
The old man stood in front of Xu Zii and said stiffly, "If you know what’s good for you, leave as soon as possible."
"You seem to have a big problem with ," Xu Zii looked up and asked.
"No complaints, just not welcoming you," the elder said indifferently.
"But your young lady welcod us," Xu Zii said with a smile.
"I’ve said my piece, if you refuse to leave and sothing happens, don’t bla ," the elder replied and then turned and left.
Xu Zii slightly furrowed his brow, then chuckled lightly in relief.
Soon after, a fragrant sll of at wafted over from beside him.
A man with a buzzcut and dressed in a black short-sleeved shirt approached Xu Zii.
He held a bowl in each hand.
He handed the bowl in his right hand to Xu Zii and said casually, "Kid, this is from our young lady."
Xu Zii took the at soup and whispered a thank you.
The bowl was full of at and broth, seemingly simred with so expensive herbs.
The man didn’t mind and sat next to Xu Zii.
Drinking from the other bowl, he laughed heartily, "What trouble are you running from, brother?"
"The unconscious woman is the one being chased, not ," Xu Zii shook his head in response.
"I’m just caught in an unjust situation."
"Then you’re really unlucky," the man laughed loudly without any doubt.
"And you guys?" Xu Zii asked, "I see your caravan’s flag bears the Fan character, are you also heading to Immortal City?"
"Correct, we are the Fan Family from Sheng City," the man answered openly.
"You probably aren’t from around here; our Fan Family is quite famous near Sheng City.
We specialize in the Pills business."
Speaking of the Fan Family, the man’s face was filled with pride.
"Our Fan Family’s business spans the entire Supre Domain, and this ti it seems our branch in Immortal City ran into so trouble.
Our young lady is heading there to handle it," the man replied.
"Can’t the people below handle it? Does your young lady have to go personally?" Xu Zii asked curiously.
The big man was ready to reply but was then called over by the caravan’s elder.
It was clear, the elder was very dissatisfied with Xu Zii and had significant objections.
Xu Zii didn’t mind; he was rather interested in the young lady of the Fan Family.
However, she hadn’t co out from the carriage earlier, and as soon as the caravan camped, she went straight to her tent.
Xu Zii hadn’t gotten a good look at her.
After dinner, the team dispersed.
So rested while others kept watch.
The moon was very round in the sky, making the night very quiet.
Almost silent.
As dawn broke in the east, the caravan began to tidy up and set off again.
Yesterday’s maidservant ca over again, saying to Xu Zii, "Our young lady sent to ask if you are comfortable with the lady still healing.
If you are comfortable, you can let her sit in our young lady’s carriage to continue with us.
If you are not comfortable, you can continue on horseback like yesterday."
"There’s nothing to be uncomfortable about," Xu Zii waved his hand.
After the caravan was ready, they continued heading north.
Along the way, the vegetation beca more and more lush, and the forest thicker and deeper.
It was almost impossible to see anyone else, with only an occasional lone bird flying over from the distant treetops.
Suddenly, a sharp birdcall ca from not far away.
The caravan, like a startled bird, stopped instantly when the elder shouted loudly, "Be alert!"
The team imdiately halted and surrounded the sedan chairs; everyone ford into a battle array.
