In the camp, several campfires flickered here and there.
After Chen Anlin got out of the car, many people noticed him.
"You’re awake!" someone called out.
"Miss, that kid is awake!"
Fan Lingxue was studying a map by the fire when she heard this and walked over to Chen Anlin.
"Ah, you really are awake." Looking at Chen Anlin's handsome face, Fan Lingxue couldn't help but glance at him a couple more times, feeling that this young man was truly strikingly handsome.
"Where is this?"
"We just left Zhao Prefecture City. I’m from the Cooperation Town in Zhao Prefecture City, and we come from the Tieshan Escort Agency. Have you heard of our Tieshan Escort Agency?"
"I haven’t," Chen Anlin replied honestly, shaking his head.
This left Fan Lingxue somewhat speechless; he really just said he didn’t know them without even trying to flatter them a bit.
"Cough, cough, may I ask why you fell into the water?" Fan Lingxue inquired.
Chen Anlin explained, "My family encountered misfortune, and I ended up in a foreign land. I didn’t expect to run into bandits. In a moment of desperation, I fled for my life and accidentally slipped and fell into the river."
His explanation matched the impression this group had of him; he truly came from humble beginnings.
"What’s your name?"
"Chen Xiaoan," Chen Anlin casually provided a false name.
"Chen Xiaoan," Fan Lingxue nodded and sighed, "What are your plans now? We will be heading to Chongming Town next to pick up a batch of supplies. You can stay there if you want, or you can come back with us to Cooperation Town."
"How long will it take?"
"It will take about ten days to reach Chongming Town."
"Then let’s go to Chongming Town first!" Chen Anlin said decisively.
For him, the farther he could get from this place, the safer he would be.
The current situation was so obvious that even a child could guess that those people were frantically searching for him, and this area was undoubtedly the territory of the prominent families.
Soon, the convoy set off again.
Chen Anlin sat inside the carriage, his mind sinking into the spatial ring. "Bai Yu Xianzi, can you help me with my injuries?"
"This isn't an injury; it's a side effect from taking the Blood Strengthening Pill. This belongs to the effects of the medicine. Unless you take a better pill, it might recover some," she replied.
"Ah, that's quite troublesome."
"There's no other way. When you take such pills, you need to be mentally prepared for this. But don’t worry, with me around, if you can't fight, we can always escape," Bai Yu Xianzi assured him.
Chen Anlin's eyes lit up. Indeed, wasn't it thanks to Bai Yu Xianzi that Xiao Chen managed to escape several times?
With her assurance, Chen Anlin finally relaxed completely.
"By the way, I helped you a lot this time; you need to treat me well later," Bai Yu Xianzi said.
"Don't worry; I'll make sure to serve you well," Chen Anlin replied, emphasizing the word "well."
Bai Yu Xianzi seemed to remember something and quickly added, "I need something to replenish my soul power."
"I know, I know."
As they spoke, Chen Anlin began to check his own body.
He indeed had not suffered any injuries. However, there was a tingling sensation in his meridians and muscles.
Once his energy surged in, that tingling sensation would completely absorb it.
This meant that although he had a solid foundation in cultivation, he was unable to utilize it.
This was the root of his diminished strength.
He calculated for a moment; his cultivation level was at most at the peak of the ninth rank.
However, this referred only to his martial arts cultivation. Let’s not forget that he still possessed spiritual power.
In the recent battle, although he had exhausted the spiritual energy in his air sac, he still had the Spirit Storage Pearl. Taking into account his own spiritual energy, he could still unleash his peak combat power to the fullest. However, doing so would consume too much energy, and once it was gone, it would be completely depleted. If he conserved some usage and only utilized fifth-grade or lower cultivation, he could use it many more times.
His current plan was to avoid fighting as much as possible. Just like that, seven days had passed in the blink of an eye. Chen Anlin had already disembarked and had become familiar with the people from the Iron Mountain Escort Agency.
The Iron Mountain Escort Agency had been passed down through three generations and held a considerable influence in the martial world, ranking as a mid-level force. The strongest among them was Fan Lingxue's grandfather, who possessed fourth-grade cultivation.
This time, the Iron Mountain Escort Agency had taken on a significant task: transporting a batch of goods to Chongming Town and then trading locally to bring back a shipment of medicinal herbs. Although there were storage bags in this world, their capacity was too small and they were expensive for ordinary forces. The entire Iron Mountain Escort Agency owned only one storage bag, which was currently hanging from Fan Lingxue's shoulder. This storage bag contained a large quantity of supplies.
Since Chen Anlin was part of this convoy, he occasionally observed his surroundings to help check for any dangers. One day, as the convoy passed through a canyon, it suddenly came to a halt. Chen Anlin squinted; something was amiss ahead.
Sure enough, he saw a group of horsemen blocking the mountain road. At the forefront was a burly man wielding a massive axe. This group exuded an intimidating aura, clearly intending to stop them and collect a toll for passage. It could have been worse; some would resort to murder and robbery.
Chen Anlin remained silent as he glanced at the other members of the Iron Mountain Escort Agency, noticing that they all appeared calm and unperturbed. Then he saw Fan Lingxue step forward with a smile, cupping her hands in greeting: "So it's Boss Ma! My grandfather and father often mention you; they say you're a great hero."
"Little girl," Boss Ma said, sniffing as he wiped away the drool at the corner of his mouth while eyeing Fan Lingxue's neck and thighs. "I remember seeing you when you were just a little girl; it's been quite some time! You've grown up to be quite beautiful!"
