Jianchen agreeing to travel with them made the group of guards very happy. With an Earth Saint Master joining them, they no longer needed to be on tenterhooks and guard against the Black Wind Bandits' reinforcements and those with evil intentions.
Jianchen was politely invited to the carriage by the middle-aged man. He refused to let Jianchen walk on the ground no matter what. Their mounts had already been killed in the battle with the bandits. Aside from the three second rank Magical Beasts pulling the carriage, they couldn't find another mount to ride.
Jianchen found it hard to refuse such hospitality, so he complied with the middle-aged man's wishes and sat cross-legged in the carriage's driver's seat.
"Little brother, it's windy outside, you should go in!" The middle-aged man said to Jianchen with a smile on his face. He was very polite.
An Earth Saint Master could be considered a peak expert in the whole of Saka City. The reason why their Lanming clan could become one of the two great clans in Saka City was because their old patriarch was an Earth Saint Master. If they lost their patriarch, then their status in Saka City would be much worse than it was now. At most, they could only be considered a first-rate clan in Saka City. And there were more than a dozen such clans in Vasa City. From this, it could be seen that in a second-rate city like Saka City, an Earth Saint Master had a very high status.
"No, I don't like sitting inside." Jianchen said in an indifferent tone.
Since Jianchen had said so, the middle-aged man couldn't say anything more. If he made Jianchen feel disgusted with him, then the gains wouldn't make up for the losses.
At this time, a faint fragrance came from behind. The carriage door opened and a woman wearing a red brocade gown came out. Finally, she sat down beside Jianchen. A pair of beautiful eyes that seemed to be able to steal souls stared at Jianchen with an incomparably bright light. She softly said, "Thank you benefactor for saving my life. This little girl's name is Lan Ying. May I ask benefactor's name?"
Jianchen's gaze swept across Lan Ying's beautiful face, then shifted his gaze to the front, and said: "I don't dare to accept your name, my name is Yang Yutian."
"So it's Young Master Yang. I wonder where Young Master Yang lives, and where are you going on this trip?" Lan Ying's eyes flashed as she looked at Jianchen. However, when she saw the slight frown on Jianchen's face, she hurriedly said, "This little girl is just asking out of curiosity. If Young Master Yang has something to say, please forgive this little girl's rudeness."
Jianchen chuckled and said, "Miss is too serious. I come from a faraway country. This time, I am traveling around the continent to increase my knowledge and experience. At the same time, it is also a kind of experience. With the sky as my blanket and the earth as my bed, I have no fixed abode."
"No wonder Young Master Yang has such powerful strength. It seems that he is very hardworking in his cultivation."
… …
The carriage slowly moved forward on the official road, while the dozen or so surviving guards followed closely on both sides of the carriage. On the road, they met a group of mercenaries riding ordinary horses. As the leader of the guards, a middle-aged man spent a large amount of money to buy a few horses from them. Afterwards, the two of them increased their speed and hurried to Sakar City.
Four hours later, the dozen or so guards covered in blood and a luxurious carriage finally entered the city. On the way, they attracted the attention of many passersby. For a moment, the streets were filled with discussions.
"Aren't these people from the Lan Ming clan? They are actually all injured. Don't tell me that there is a nearby force that dares to make an enemy of the Lan Ming clan? "
"The Lan Ming clan is one of the two great clans of Sakar City. I heard that their old patriarch is an Earth Saint Master. In this region, other than the Fire Bird clan that is equally famous as the Lan Ming clan, who would dare to provoke them …"
The black clothed Jianchen was sitting in the driver's seat. Under the escort of the dozen or so guards, he quickly moved through the streets of Sakar City. The young miss of the Lan Ming clan, Lan Ying, had already entered the carriage.
Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard from the front of the street. A large group of people riding magical beast mounts were rushing towards Jianchen's carriage. They moved very quickly. The leader was an old man riding a magical beast of the fourth step, a Gale Wolf.
When the middle-aged man saw the old man running in front, he was immediately shocked. Then, his eyes revealed an excited expression. He cried out in surprise, "It's the old patriarch. The old patriarch has personally rushed over."
The old patriarch of the Lan Ming clan very quickly stopped in front of everyone. The middle-aged man and the dozen or so guards covered in blood immediately bowed and saluted, loudly saying, "We greet the patriarch!"
The old man didn't even look at them. He turned around and jumped down from his mount. With a somewhat nervous expression, he quickly walked towards the carriage. With a somewhat anxious tone, he loudly said, "Ying 'er, Ying' er, are you alright?" The old man's expression was filled with anxiety and worry.
The door of the carriage was opened. Lan Ying in a red brocade gown walked out of the carriage. As soon as she saw the old man, tears immediately streamed down her face. She cried out while choking with sobs, "Grandfather!"
Seeing that Lan Ying was alright, the old man's expression immediately relaxed. Then, with vigorous steps, he jumped into the carriage. Both of his hands tightly hugged Lan Ying. With a face full of lingering fear, he muttered, "It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright. Ying 'er, this time it's all grandfather's fault.
The old man was the patriarch of the Lan Ming clan. He loved his granddaughter very much. Since young, he had treated his granddaughter as the pearl of his palm and protected her. Just now, when he heard that the dozen or so guards of the Lan Ming clan were escorting a carriage into Casa City, he immediately guessed that the guards protecting his granddaughter had been attacked on the road. Because he was very worried about his granddaughter's safety, he immediately led a group of people and rushed over.
The old man comforted Lan Ying, then looked at the middle-aged man who was the captain of the guards with a sharp gaze. He shouted in a deep voice, "Guard Yun, what exactly happened on the road? Who is it that is making things difficult for our Lan Ming clan?"
"Patriarch, we were attacked by the Black Wind Bandits. The other party's lineup was strong, and we were not their match at all. If not for this Young Master Yang's help at the critical moment, I'm afraid none of us would have been able to come back to see you." Guard Yun said with a face full of lingering fear.
Hearing this, the gaze of the old patriarch of the Lan Ming clan immediately fell on Jianchen, who was sitting cross-legged on the carriage. His eyes flashed as he quickly sized up Jianchen. Then, he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your help, little brother. Our Lan Ming clan will definitely be grateful to you."
Jianchen smiled slightly, and also cupped his hands and said, "Patriarch is too polite. There's no need to thank me. I was just passing by."
"Little brother, our Lan Ming clan does not dare to forget the kindness of saving my granddaughter's life. Little brother, please come to our Lan Ming clan and let us do our best as hosts." The old patriarch said with a face full of sincerity.
Jianchen hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed, "Then I'll have to bother you."
"I won't bother you, I won't bother you!" The old patriarch quickly waved his hand and said with a smile.
At this time, Guard Yun pointed at the three bandits who were tied up like dumplings and said to the old patriarch, "Patriarch, these three people are the bandit leaders who attacked us. It was Young Master Yang who helped us capture them. We are waiting for Patriarch to deal with them."
The three bandits' mouths were covered, so they could only continuously make "wu wu" sounds, and looked at the old patriarch of the Lan Ming clan as if begging for mercy.
The old patriarch's eyes turned cold, and he shouted, "First take them back and lock them up."
… …
The Lan Ming clan was located in the northeast of Sakar City. It was an ancient house that occupied a very large area. At this moment, in a clean, bright, and luxuriously decorated hall, the old patriarch of the Lan Ming clan personally entertained Jianchen, and casually chatted with Jianchen about some topics. Of course, he also inquired about Jianchen's identity and origin from the side.
Jianchen also calmly and easily dealt with the old patriarch's questions. The topic of his identity and origin was completely the same as what he had told Lan Ying on the way here.
Because Jianchen had concealed his aura and concealed his strength, the old patriarch was unable to accurately calculate Jianchen's exact strength. However, from Guard Yun's description, he was at least certain that Jianchen was an Earth Saint Master. Therefore, to such an expert, the old patriarch was rather polite and treated Jianchen as an equal.
At this time, Jianchen suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "Patriarch, I wonder if you have heard of something called a Space Gate."
"Space Gate? What is that? "The old patriarch's face was filled with doubt. Clearly, he did not know about the existence of Space Gates.
A sliver of disappointment appeared on Jianchen's face. The main reason he had come to the Lanming clan was to inquire about Space Gates. This place was just too far away from the Kingdom of Gesun. He needed to return through a Space Gate. Otherwise, even with his mastery of the Illusory Flash, it would take him a very long time just to travel back. Moreover, it would be extremely tiring.
When he had left the Blue Wind Kingdom, the situation between the Kingdom of Gesun and the neighboring kingdoms had become tense. Now that two years had passed, he did not know whether the Kingdom of Gesun had declared war on the neighboring kingdoms or not. It was a pity that he could not obtain any information about the Kingdom of Gesun. After all, the Kingdom of Gesun was only a small kingdom. There were at least a hundred such kingdoms on the Tian Yuan Continent. Even if one of them was destroyed, it would not cause any waves on the Tian Yuan Continent.
That night, Jianchen and a few members of the upper echelon of the Lanming clan had a sumptuous dinner together. Under the warm hospitality of the Lanming clan, they temporarily settled down. At the same time, in a sealed room of the Lanming clan, a few members of the upper echelon of the clan were discussing some matters.
"Father, I don't think this method is appropriate. First of all, we don't know Yang Yutian's identity at all. We have only interacted with him for a short while, so we don't know much about his personality. Isn't it a little too hasty to betroth Ying 'er to him so rashly?" The one who spoke was a middle-aged man. He was Lan Ying's father.
"Patriarch, you must know that he is an Earth Saint Master. Although his appearance is rather ordinary, he is able to become an Earth Saint Master at the age of thirty. His future is limitless. It is very likely that he will become a Heaven Saint Master in the near future. Once our Lanming clan has the support of a peak Heaven Saint Master, I'm sure everyone knows the benefits to our clan."
