Lin Feng hadn't thought that the journey to Nebula City would be so dangerous. It wouldn't be a big deal if there were only fierce beasts, but if there were bandits, then it would be very scary. Since there were bandits on the way to Nebula Pavilion, there were bound to be many experts among them. It was no wonder that the honest-looking young man wanted to form a group with him.
Lin Feng was bold because of his skills, but he wasn't afraid of being strong. If he were to travel alone, he would easily become a target for bandits. If he were to be surrounded by bandits, then it would only add to the trouble. It was better to form a group. Just as the honest-looking young man had said, there was strength in numbers. If bandits saw that there were more people, they might not easily come looking for trouble.
Lin Feng nodded and said, "Since everyone is going to Nebula City, then we can look after each other."
The honest-looking young man was very happy after hearing this. He scratched his head and smiled, saying, "My name is Han Shuo. How should I address you, brother?"
"Lin Feng …"
"Brother Lin, come with me. I'll bring you to meet everyone," Han Shuo said.
Lin Feng nodded and walked with Han Shuo to a restaurant. There were ten people sitting in a private room on the second floor. Han Shuo said, "I'm back."
A somewhat seductive woman said, "Han Shuo, I asked you to go find someone. Did you manage to get him?"
Han Shuo said, "This is Brother Lin. He's the person I found."
Lin Feng nodded to everyone and said, "I'm Lin Feng, and I'm also planning to go to Nebula City. I heard from Brother Han that everyone was going to Nebula City as well, so I came here to accompany everyone."
A white-clothed young man curled his lips and said ambiguously, "Han Shuo, I asked you to go find someone. You've been gone for half a day, and all you've found is a martial general cultivator? If we really meet fierce beasts or bandits on the way, won't he become a burden to us? "
You've disappointed us. Originally, you were only at the first layer of the Martial King realm, and we didn't plan to bring you along. We only agreed to let you go because you shamelessly begged us. Now, you've brought a cultivator weaker than you. You're already a burden, and now you've brought another burden. Do you want us to protect the two of you when you encounter danger? "
This innocent-looking young woman was obviously not an easy person to get along with. She mocked Lin Feng and Han Shuo.
"I, I, I …" Han Shuo was speechless after being reprimanded.
Han Shuo looked like an honest person, and these people obviously saw that Han Shuo was honest and wanted to bully him. Lin Feng couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Everyone, it's already good that Brother Han was able to bring someone along. There's no need to be so harsh on Brother Han. I feel that although Brother Lin's cultivation is only at the Martial General realm, he's still a high-level one. Even if he encounters danger, he should have no problem protecting himself."
At this moment, a young man who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old spoke up.
When the others heard this, they couldn't help but frown slightly. They wanted to retort, but in the end, they didn't dare to speak because there was an old servant standing behind the young man. Although he was a servant, his cultivation was at the tenth layer of the Martial King realm, and he was the strongest among the group. If they wanted to safely pass through this dangerous area, they would have to rely on him.
When a middle-aged man saw that the atmosphere was a bit stiff, he smiled and tried to smooth things over. "It's not easy to travel outside. Since we're able to meet here, it can be considered fate. Everyone, please bear with it."
Another middle-aged cultivator with a sword on his back opened his eyes. His eyes were flickering with a bright light. Lin Feng was slightly surprised. This person's mental strength was full. It should be a sign that he was about to transform into spiritual energy. He was also at the tenth layer of the Martial King realm. This cultivator with a sword on his back should be stronger than the old servant.
Although they were both at the tenth layer of the Martial King realm, the old servant was old and his Qi and blood were declining. Naturally, his cultivation was weaker.
As for the cultivator with a sword on his back, he was in the prime of his life. He was at the peak of his cultivation.
This cultivator with a sword on his back clearly had some prestige. He said, "Let's go to the Spirit Dragon Inn and rest for the night. We'll buy everything we need to buy today. Tomorrow morning, we'll leave for Starcloud City."
Everyone nodded. They didn't have any objections.
Everyone dispersed one after another.
"Young Master Yu, thank you so much for helping me out just now."
Although Han Shuo was stupid, he wasn't stupid. Therefore, after everyone dispersed, he was the first to thank the young man.
The old servant rushed in front of the young man and stopped him. Han Shuo awkwardly scratched his head.
The young man said, "Brother Han, you're welcome."
Lin Feng also cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Brother Yu."
The young man nodded and said, "It's nothing."
The young man didn't have any intention of chatting with Lin Feng. He then left with the old servant.
"Brother Lin, I'm really sorry. I didn't think … I didn't think …" Han Shuo said, embarrassed. After thinking for a long time, he still didn't know how to express himself. He was a very simple and honest person. Lin Feng had a good impression of him.
He patted Han Shuo's shoulder and said, "You don't have to blame yourself. There will always be people who look down on others."
Han Shuo said, "Brother Lin, it's good that you're not angry. Actually, those people only have bad mouths, but they're actually very kind."
Lin Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly. This Han Shuo was really too honest. Those people had ordered him around and reprimanded him, but he still spoke up for them.
Unfortunately, who would remember his kindness? Who would appreciate it?
Han Shuo scratched his head and said, "Brother Lin, you just arrived in Ping Yao Town. You haven't booked a room yet, right?"
Lin Feng nodded and said, "Since everyone is staying at the Spirit Dragon Inn, I'll stay there as well."
Han Shuo said, "The Spirit Dragon Inn's rooms are already full. If Brother Lin doesn't mind, you can stay with me. However, the room I'm staying in is the most ordinary one. I'm a little worried that Brother Lin will feel wronged."
"What's there to feel wronged about?" Lin Feng smiled.
Han Shuo said happily, "As long as Brother Lin doesn't mind, it's fine. Then, Brother Lin, come with me to take a look at the rooms."
Lin Feng nodded and followed Han Shuo to his room. It was indeed a very ordinary room with simple decorations and old furniture.
Han Shuo said embarrassedly, "It's really too simple. Why don't I ask around and see if there are any better rooms?"
Lin Feng said, "I think it's pretty good. It's a hundred times better than sleeping in the forest."
Han Shuo nodded and said, "As long as Brother Lin doesn't mind."
Lin Feng looked at Han Shuo curiously and asked, "Brother Han, why are you risking your life to go to Nebula City?"
Han Shuo scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "I heard that Nebula Pavilion is recruiting students, so I'm hoping to try my luck. If I can become an outer disciple of Nebula Pavilion, that would be great. Even if I can't become an outer disciple, becoming an odd job disciple would be good too. That way, I'll be able to bring honor to my family. My village has only produced one Martial King cultivator in several hundred years. I want to become strong and return to my hometown with glory in the future.
Hope appeared in Han Shuo's eyes. He was filled with hope. That kind of resolute expression in his eyes made Lin Feng slightly moved.
