The three of them walked into the forest and chatted occasionally. Since Zhuo Junyue didn't say much, the old man did most of the talking, so Fengjiu didn't ask any more questions.
The journey was peaceful. Some ferocious beasts in the forest were scared away by the pressure emanating from their mounts before they even got close. They didn't even have to fight and passed through unhindered.
Until noon, when they stopped to rest and took out dry food from the space to eat, a team of mercenaries also came to rest nearby.
When the mercenaries saw the three people and two beasts, there was some surprise in their eyes. They looked at the three people and recognized that the old man among them was Hunyuanzi from the Nebula Immortal Sect, but they didn't know who the other two were.
"It's Hunyuanzi from the Xingyun Immortal Sect. Captain, do you want to go up and say hello?" a mercenary asked the leader.
"Since we've met, it would be better to say hello." The mercenary leader said, looking behind him, and said to everyone: "You all rest here, I'll go over to say hello."
Among the thirty or forty mercenaries sitting here to rest, there was a tall and strong man in mercenary uniform who was eating dry food. If Fengjiu saw him at this time, she would be very happy, because this man was none other than Guan Xilin, who went to train on his own after arriving here.
The mercenary leader came to the front but did not get too close. Instead, he clasped his fists and bowed: "Lord Hunyuan, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Seeing that he was recognized at a glance, Hun Yuanzi looked at the mercenary with some surprise: "How do you recognize me, an old man? We should have never met before."
"The Immortal King doesn't know me, but I was lucky enough to meet him once." The mercenary said with a smile, "I met him on the road that year and saw him saving someone. I still remember it vividly."
Hearing this, Hun Yuan Zi stroked his beard with a smile and glanced at Feng Jiu beside him: "So that's how it is. I am a kind-hearted old man. I often save people when I am walking outside. I save so many people that I forget them."
Fengjiu, who was standing by, didn't react much. She just munched on the dry food in her hand without saying anything.
After the mercenary leader talked with Hun Yuan Zi for a while, he bowed and said goodbye: "My Lord, my mercenary team is resting not far away, so I will go back first. We will meet again in the future if we are lucky enough."
"Go ahead!"
The old man nodded and watched the mercenary leader leave. Then he looked at Fengjiu with a smile: "How is it, little girl? Did you see that? I am very popular. You should learn from me and save more people. You will meet people you know when you go out. You never know when you will meet someone you have saved."
"Let's go now that you've rested! I've been here for so long, but I haven't seen a piece of Fire Stone yet!" Fengjiu stood up, patted her green clothes, turned over and rode on Tunyun's back.
“Why are you in a hurry? Even old men are not in a hurry.” Although he said that, he still got on the back of the contracted beast and walked forward beside her, while Zhuo Junyue still followed quietly without saying much.
Not long after they left, when the people from the mercenary group were preparing to move on after resting, they heard a rustling sound, followed by a sinister laugh.
