NOVEL NEXT Chapter 53: Broken Sword Town
Rongyu glanced down at him; she was also aware of the other meaning of the invitation, which was to use them as free escorts. She would naturally decline as that would be tiring and affect the speed of their travel, but one of them was currently injured, and the others were exhausted after a fight.
"Who are you and where are you heading?" She asked.
The armored man looked up with an excited look on his face as he answered.
Turned out that they were soldiers of the Broken Sword Town and were sent to get supplies from another city as these supplies had become scarce in their own town since the constant assault of bandits and beasts, they had decided to accept transport missions along the way to earn extra money thus the reason for the women and children onboard.
"We'll accept your invitation then; we're disciples of the Falcon sect; we were sent to help your town with its problems," Rongyu stated.
The faces of the men lit up when they heard this.
"So seniors are experts from the sect, we are honored to be saved by you. Please make yourself comfortable on the way" They said with excitement and invited the group to the caravans.
Their gazes suddenly landed on Leon and some of them stared at him strangely because he was wearing the same color of robe as Rongyu and the rest and had appeared with them as well.
Feifei noticed this and moved closer to Leon before placing a hand on his shoulder.
"He's a disciple of the falcon sect as well," she said to the men with a smile.
The armored men glanced at each other with deeper confusion, wasn't the Falcon sect a sect of only women? Since when did they accept men?
"But, isn't the falcon sect accepting only…"
One of the armored men wanted to say but was cut off by Feifei's sharp glare and cold voice.
" Mind your business!"
Her sudden change of attitude scared them that they didn't dare to ask anymore, what a scary martial artist!
But that didn't prevent them from throwing envious glances at Leon.
Lucky bastard! A man in a sect full of women, imagine the possibilities.
Leon didn't bother with them, he could sense them burning with jealousy and was happy about it. They could come to complain to him if they had a problem; let's see if he didn't chop them to pieces.
The group all went to the caravans, while the caravan was evacuated for them to rest. They checked on Muging and were relieved that she was indeed all right and was just sleeping.
"I saw that she was poisoned by that demon sect martial artist's black gas, how is she fine?" Wanxu asked, and everyone turned to look at Leon; he was the one who brought her, after all.
"Oh, I fed her a pill," Leon answered.
"A pill? Where did you get the pill and what type of pill was it?" Yue asked strongly, her tone was interrogative and filled with suspicion.
" It was a detoxification pill, and my Master gave me a few." Leon stared at her with a frown and answered; he made a pill appear in his hand.
Everyone gazed at the pill in Leon's hand with wide eyes; it was really a pull and a high-graded one at that. They also didn't fail to notice how he made the pill appear out of thin air, he possessed a storage ring as well.
" The Grand Elder takes good care of you too well, are you really just her disciple or her son?" Wanxu sighed; her Master might not even give her any of those if she asked for them; she might only get a pill if her life was in danger; those things were expensive as hell!
" Of course, I'm just her disciple!" Leon declared strongly, the scene of the deeds he had done with Quin Xuxu appearing in his mind.
If she wasn't just her disciple, wouldn't that mean he had been screwing his mother? Leon wasn't into such things, he wasn't like that!
"It's all right. Thank you for saving Muging's life at a critical moment; pills are extremely precious, so she will find a way to repay you after she wakes up," Rongyu said while waving her hand.
" We're fellow disciples, it's fine." Leon shook his head with a kind smile, but his expression froze as a notification that only he could see appeared in front of him.
(Ding! The host has used a grade 3 pill that costs 300,000 gold coins on a disciple, repayment mission triggered)
(Mission: Make out with fellow disciples as a form of repayment)
(Reward: 200 exp)
Leon "..."
'Tf?! 300,000 gold coins?! Why didn't anyone tell me the pill was so expensive?' Leon lamented inwardly, he felt that the system was asking him if it was really fine to let go of such an expensive pill without payment.
"Ahem, on second thought. I'll accept Senior sister's payment when she wakes up" Leon coughed and mumbled softly.
Rongyu nodded at him before moving her gaze to Feifei.
" You were reckless," she stated.
Feifei gave an apologetic smile before saying she was sorry and that she couldn't stop herself.
" I understand, just don't charge out like that next time"
"Okay!"
After their short dialogue, everyone turned quiet and focused on restoring their strength as the caravans began to move again.
Leon would open his eyes from time to time and peek at his Senior sisters, but there was nothing much to see, so he closed his eyes and focused on converting Shi to Qi while he anticipated Muging waking up.
…..
Time flew quickly and the caravans arrived at the huge gates of the Broken Sword Town after two days of traveling. The speed of the caravans was not as fast as Leon's and the others if they had traveled by themselves, but since they didn't stop to rest or encounter any other troubles, they were able to complete the journey in two days.
Muging had also woken up, but Leon told him that she could hold on to the payment for the pill for the time being and focus on recovering instead.
But the truth was that he did not have the chance to carry out the system mission and was waiting for an opportunity that might prevent itself when they arrived at their destination.
The caravans stopped in front of the large gate, and soldiers in plate armor and carrying weapons patrolled the walls. They immediately shouted for the gates to be open after they saw their fellow soldiers had returned.
The caravans entered the town and the gates closed behind them with a huge bang.
"Seniors, we'll be stopping here. Would seniors like for us to arrange a place for you?" A soldier in plate armor came to their caravan and cupped his hand respectfully.
"No, we'll go by ourselves. Inform the town chief that we've arrived but will be staying undercover and will only see him after we finish the mission" Rongyu said to the man before coming down from the caravan.
Leon and the others also came down as well, they all silently moved and disappeared into a nearby alley without being noticed.
"First thing now is to look for a place to stay before gathering information that will be of any use," Rongyu said and everyone nodded.
They moved along less populated streets of the town; the town was very huge, and they were only on a part of it.
The streets were almost deserted, with few people roaming around, and few shops dared to open. Martial artists and soldiers patrolled the streets occasionally while carrying weapons.
The group soon found an inn to stay in.
"A week in an inn will cost 10 silver coins, 7 rooms will be 70 silver coins," the middle-aged receptionist said to the group from behind the counter.
'70 silver? So cheap?!'
Leon exclaimed from behind the group.
