This old man's strength shocked Nie Tian. It was obvious that this was not an ordinary old man at all!
This person was hiding his strength, but it was unknown what his purpose was.
Nie Tian roughly estimated the old man's age. He was at least three hundred years old. It was obviously impossible for an ordinary person to have such a long lifespan.
"Old man, are you okay?" Nie Tian walked up calmly and asked with concern.
The old man glanced at Nie Tian, surprise flashing across his face. He coughed twice and said, "This old man is fine. Thank you for your help just now, little brother."
Nie Tian smiled and said, "It's nothing, it was nothing."
The old man nodded and climbed up the carriage, saying, "Little brother, we grandfather and grandson still have urgent matters to attend to, so we'll take our leave."
Nie Tian took a step forward and directly stopped the carriage. He faintly smiled and said, "Old man, you're going to Xumi Spirit Capital, right?"
Seeing Nie Tian stop his carriage, the old man was obviously a little unhappy and stiffly nodded.
"We're also going to Xumi Spirit Capital. Old man, how about you give us a ride?" Nie Tian said with a kind face.
The old man's face visibly stiffened, and he seemed to become vigilant. But soon after, he relaxed and said with a bitter smile, "Little brother, as you can see, our carriage is really too small, and the old horses that pull it are also useless. We really can't run with you."
"Yes, Big Brother Nie. Look at this horse, it's almost dead. Even if it only pulls the grandfather and grandson, I'm afraid it won't be able to reach Xumi Spirit Capital. " Meng Xueqing pointed to the skinny old horse leading the carriage. She even said intimately, "Grandpa, your horse is already dying. It can't reach Xumi Spirit Capital. Later, I'll let Big Brother Nie stop a large carriage. Let's go to Xumi Spirit Capital together. "
Nie Tian was speechless. Meng Xueqing really knew how to speak. She wanted to be a good person, but she wanted him, a laborer, to do the work.
Nie Tian looked at the skinny old horse. This was a skinny old horse, so skinny that it looked like it would collapse at any time. The old horse's entire body was black, but there were circles of indistinct yellow patterns on its body. What was a little strange was that the old horse had two antlers on its head. They were black and shiny, appearing extremely hard.
"Hmph." Nie Tian laughed and said, "Old man, the Tigerstripe Mystic Horn Deer is a fifth grade spirit beast. It shouldn't be a problem to carry two more people."
"Huh?" Upon hearing Nie Tian call out Old Ma's real name, the old man couldn't hide his surprise. His face grew grim as he asked, "Who the hell are you?"
Nie Tian was right. This "old horse" was not a horse at all, but an extremely rare Tigerstripe Black-Antlered Deer!
The Tigerstripe Black-Horned Deer was a fifth-rank spirit beast. It had a docile temperament, but once it was angered, even a True Energy Boundary martial artist might not be able to subdue it.
Furthermore, Nie Tian discovered that there was something special about the carriage, which looked shabby and shabby.
The entire body of the car was made of the hardest thousand-year-old ebony, and even the curtains on the windows were made of an extremely expensive ninth-grade sky blue satin.
What was even more terrifying was that there was a faint trace of the power of a Spirit Array surrounding the carriage. It was actually protected by a Spirit Array!
With Nie Tian's Psychic Energy, he still couldn't detect the rank of this formation. His initial estimation was that it was at least Rank 4 or above.
The Tiger-Striped Mystic Horned Deer served as the legs, the body was made of thousand-year-old ebony, the curtains were made of Grade-9 Sky Blue Satin, and the protection of a Grade-4 Spiritual Formation.
This seemingly worn-out carriage was the most luxurious carriage in the world!
Nie Tian's attack just now was unnecessary.
He didn't save the grandfather-granddaughter pair, but he saved the life of the scarred coachman.
If he hadn't made a move just now, the one that would have been smashed into pieces would have been the luxurious carriage.
This old man had concealed himself deeply. He was definitely an expert.
Nie Tian's eyes shone as he looked at the old man and said indifferently, "I'm not your enemy."
He guessed that the reason this old man was so low-key was because he was hiding from someone, an enemy, or perhaps an enemy.
The old man's hawk-like eyes stared at Nie Tian, trying to find a flaw in the latter's expression, but all he saw was a pool of clear water.
His rational judgment told him that the boy in front of him wasn't lying.
"Grandfather, let him in. It's good to have someone with us, we can take care of each other on the road. "While the old man was still hesitating, the young boy's voice came from the carriage.
But the old man didn't relent, still staring at Nie Tian. The latter said, "Old man, if I were your enemy, I wouldn't have saved you just now. Even if I really was sent here by the enemy, you should feel more at ease keeping me by your side. "
The old man's eyes flashed with a cold light. He suddenly looked at Meng Xueqing behind Nie Tian and thought to himself, "This boy shouldn't be lying. If he was sent by that person, he wouldn't have brought a young girl with him."
"Good! Get in the carriage. "Thinking of this, the old man finally relented.
"Hehe, it seems this young lady's face is bigger." Meng Xueqing couldn't help but proudly say as she saw the old man agree.
Nie Tian could see what the old man was thinking and thought to himself, "If I were here to kill someone, I wouldn't have brought a burden with me."
How could Meng Xueqing have imagined that the old man thought of her as a burden to Nie Tian?
Nie Tian nodded and motioned for Meng Xueqing to get in the carriage first. He and the old man would sit at the front and drive the carriage together.
"Ah!" Who knew that as soon as Meng Xueqing got in the carriage, she would let out a strange cry.
"What's wrong?" Nie Tian and the old man reacted at the same time and turned to open the curtains.
"Grandfather, I'm fine." A boy with a face as pale as paper waved his hand weakly.
Nie Tian glanced at Meng Xueqing. The latter smiled awkwardly and said, "His face is too scary."
Nie Tian was speechless. He couldn't help but look at the boy again, his brow furrowing slightly.
This was a thirteen or fourteen year old boy with delicate features. Although he was sitting, one could see that he was tall and had a righteous aura between his brows. However, his face was extremely pale and very thin. One could clearly see the bones of his face.
"I'm really sorry for scaring you." The boy didn't blame Meng Xueqing but instead apologized.
"Yes, it's my fault." Meng Xueqing lowered her head in embarrassment.
Nie Tian could see that the boy's complexion wasn't right. Moreover, there was a strange aura coming from his body. This aura was somewhat familiar to Nie Tian, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.
Nie Tian and the old man returned to the carriage. The carriage began to slowly move towards Xumi Spirit Capital.
"Little Brother, you're an Alchemist, right?" The old man seemed to sense something and asked.
"En." Nie Tian nodded, still thinking about the boy's aura.
"Seventeen or eighteen years old and a mental strength of the 51st step. Your talent in the Alchemic Dao can be called amazing. In the three thousand Miniature Worlds, there hasn't been a genius like you for hundreds of years. I'm afraid that even that Gu Qiulong can't compare to you." The old man's lips twitched as he said with a profound meaning.
