Sun Qian paused for a moment after hearing the name.
It's completely unfamiliar; I've almost never heard of it before.
Of course, the possibility that he was using a pseudonym cannot be ruled out, but based on Su Qian's observation and Su Chen's subtle movements when speaking, it is highly likely that it is his real name.
Sun Qian breathed a sigh of relief again, as long as Su Chen had nothing to do with them.
A smile returned to his face as he cupped his hands in greeting to Su Chen and said with a smile, "I see that Daoist Friend are also heading towards Duantian City. Why don't you travel with us? It would be good to have company along the way."
Although Su Chen was only at the Earth Immortal realm, he had an extraordinary bearing and was not an ordinary person. Sun Qian also liked to make friends, so he extended an invitation to Su Chen.
Duantian City is the closest city to the Shangyun Sect Hengduan Mountains Sect, and it is also the only way to enter the Hengduan Mountains.
Therefore, most forces or individuals who frequently enter and exit the Hengduan Mountains choose to stay in Duantian City, with mercenary groups making up the majority of them.
Sun Qian's Sand Wolf Mercenary Group was also located in Duantian City.
Thank you, but no need.
Su Chen calmly shook his head, declining the offer to travel with him.
He doesn't like too many people.
Sun Qian's face showed a hint of regret, but he didn't insist. "Then I'll have to trouble you, fellow Daoist."
With that, he waved his hand, and the convoy slowly drove Past.
Not long after they started walking, the Middle-aged Man immediately walked towards Sun Qian and whispered in his ear:
"Young Master, these three are of unknown origin. Should we kill them to prevent future trouble?"
The goods they were escorting this time were extremely important to the Sand Wolf Mercenary Group. If anything went wrong with these goods, it would be fatal for the Sand Wolf Mercenary Group.
Of course, the goods didn't refer to those in the carriages; the caravan was just a disguise. The truly valuable items were in their Space Ring.
Sun Qian immediately glared at him fiercely. "These three don't look like ordinary people. If someone dares to attack them, who knows who will kill whom?"
"Huh? Aren't they just an Earth Immortal and True Immortal?"
The Middle-aged Man looked puzzled. For mercenary groups that often lived on the edge, they rarely looked into a person's background.
Especially in the wild.
Although Su Chen seemed to have some background, being killed in this desolate wilderness meant that no one could trace who was behind him.
Besides, he was already at the Immortal Stage realm; killing those three would be a piece of cake for him.
Sun Qian shook his head. "Don't judge a book by its cover. Although these three don't Cultivation Level on the surface, they have extraordinary bearing. What if they're hiding their Cultivation Level?"
"Living in this world, a moment's carelessness can lead to death; being cautious in everything is of utmost importance."
"Moreover, most of the mercenary groups in Duantian City are quite powerful, with at least the strength of Grand Unity Golden Immortal. This person remained unfazed even after hearing that we were a mercenary group. How could he be an ordinary person?"
Sun Qian's tone was full of admonition and instruction, making the scene look extremely comical.
He appeared much younger than the Middle-aged Man, who was quite composed, yet he was the one being lectured, which seemed rather odd.
Upon hearing this, the Middle-aged Man immediately looked enlightened and flattered him, saying, "Young Master is so thoughtful; I was a bit presumptuous."
Soon, the group continued their journey forward.
Su Chen glanced at Sun Qian's retreating figure, his eyes flickering for a moment.
It has a strong Fortune; it's a good prospect.
Sun Qian possessed a very strong Fortune. Although it wasn't the most outstanding kind, it wasn't bad either. It was close to becoming Child of the Great Dao, but better than most people.
These are the people who are most prone to change; they may become incredibly powerful or simply fade into obscurity.
"Meeting is fate, so let's take a look."
The Lingxiao Sect still has so many openings. If we find a suitable candidate, we'll take a look, and if there are no problems, we'll recruit them into the Lingxiao Sect.
Currently, the Lingxiao Sect has only four Disciples. Considering his plan to take on nine Direct Disciples, he needs to take on at least five Disciples.
Sun Qian thought he would never see Su Chen and the others again, but two days later, he suddenly found Su Chen and the others appearing in front of him again.
He was somewhat surprised; was Su Chen really that fast?
But upon closer reflection, it makes sense. They were being cautious, taking a roundabout route, and moving slowly, so it's understandable that Su Chen was ahead of them when he took the shortcut.
Sun Qian's vigilance lessened slightly, but he was still not completely relaxed.
Although previous tests suggested that Su Chen was most likely not from any other mercenary group in Duantian City, in a place like the Cultivation World, it's always better to be safe than sorry.
It's rather strange to encounter someone twice in this desolate wilderness.
Sun Qian stepped forward again, cupped his hands in greeting to Su Chen, and said, "What a coincidence that we meet again, fellow Daoist Friend."
He had a kind smile on his face, looking somewhat harmless, and very sunny and warm.
Su Chen had met many people, and he knew very well that people who liked to laugh like that were most likely cunning and scheming. Han Li used to do that when he was keeping a low profile and pretending to be someone he was not.
He pretends to be harmless, but his heart is actually incredibly dark. It seems that Sun Qian is also such a person.
Su Chen's expression was somewhat indifferent. "To run into you twice in such a big place, are Daoist Friend perhaps following me?"
Forehead...
Shouldn't I be the one saying that?
Seeing that Su Chen's expression was serious and not feigned, Sun Qian's Central Plains wariness vanished. He smiled sincerely and said, "Daoist Friend, you misunderstand. It was truly a chance encounter. We were mainly transporting goods; why would we be following Daoist Friend?"
Su Chen also softened his expression slightly. Since the goal was to observe, he would need to get closer.
Approaching someone requires skill; it shouldn't be too incongruous. It should appear natural. If you assume they're following you from the start, you won't make Sun Qian too wary.
Su Chen glanced curiously at the caravan behind him and asked in confusion, "Transporting goods?"
Sun Qian nodded. "Yes."
Su Chen shook his head immediately. "This is too fake. It doesn't look like transporting goods at all. Wouldn't it be more convenient to put this stuff in Space Ring? It would also be faster to travel with a Profound Immortal cultivator."
Forehead...
Sun Qian hadn't expected Su Chen to be so direct. He exchanged a glance with the Middle-aged Man -Middle-aged Man beside him, who looked somewhat embarrassed.
Was it that easy to spot?
When Sun Qian first came up with this strategy, he thought it was brilliant. With a little disguise, it would be exactly the same as a normal caravan.
Wrong!
Suddenly, the Middle-aged Man looked at Su Chen with a solemn expression. How did he see through my Cultivation Level? You know, I had concealed my Cultivation Level, and even someone at the same Immortal Stage realm would find it extremely difficult to detect.
Could it be that the Young Master guessed correctly?
The person before me is someone of great importance; is he a powerful expert who has concealed his Cultivation Level?
He immediately looked at Sun Qian, but Sun Qian didn't care at all. He said seriously, "It's more real than the real thing. We're just transporting goods."
