You Sold the Caravan?
The two quickly arrived at the caravan.
"Hey buddy, are you guys about to set off?"
After Ning Qi arrived, he looked at one of the shop assistants in front of him and asked him a question.
"Yes, who are you?"
The waiter nodded in response, looking Ning Qi up and down with curiosity.
"Could you do us a favor and give us a ride?"
Ning Qi smiled and said, "We won't hitch a ride for free; we have Spirit Stone."
"Wait a minute, let me ask my husband!"
The man nodded and then told Ning Qi to wait there.
He then left in a hurry.
"Master, is this family alright?"
Medicine Spirit looked ahead and couldn't help but ask.
"It doesn't matter, money makes the world go round."
"They won't refuse if I offer Spirit Stone."
Ning Qi shrugged and then looked ahead.
After exchanging a few words with a middle-aged man, the man hurriedly returned.
"Young master, my manager wishes to see you."
After the man returned, he spoke to Ning Qi.
As he spoke, he pointed to the middle-aged man in front of him.
"Good!"
Ning Qi didn't hesitate and agreed, saying, "Lead the way!"
"Please!"
The waiter gestured for Ning Qi to proceed, and then led the way.
Soon, they reached the middle-aged man's side.
Are you coming with us?
The middle-aged man glanced at Ning Qi, his expression unreadable.
"Indeed, but how many Spirit Stone would it require?"
Ning Qi nodded, and to avoid trouble, asked about the price directly.
"Five Spirit Stone can take you to the next city."
The middle-aged man thought for a moment, then held out his palm and said, "The journey here takes two days. You're under our protection, so five coins isn't much."
"Okay, no problem!"
"Then let's set off!"
Ning Qi nodded, then took out five Spirit Stone and handed them to the middle-aged man.
"Alright! Go to the carriage in the back and find a seat anywhere."
"Let's go now!"
The middle-aged man received the Spirit Stone and then instructed, "Little Liu, go and take him there. Make sure he doesn't go to the wrong place!"
"Yes."
After the waiter agreed, he beckoned to Ning Qi: "Young master, come with me."
"Please!"
After Ning Qi responded, he followed Xiao Liuzi.
Soon they arrived at a carriage.
"Young master, there are two or three other people here, just like you!"
"It's on the way."
Xiao Liuzi explained to Ningzi, "We have many carriages, two or three of which are idle. You can hitch a ride with them."
"Okay, thank you very much!"
Ning Qi clasped his hands in a fist salute, then went directly into the carriage.
They discovered that there were three other people sitting inside the carriage.
Two young men and one young woman.
Judging from their attire, they should all be from the same Lineage or sect.
"I told you long ago to buy the carriage and travel with me."
"Now look what's happened, they've sent someone else in."
The girl said it with a hint of disdain.
"Junior sister, what's there to be afraid of? More people will make it more lively!"
One of the young men smiled and comforted him, "Why not get to know someone here?"
"Snort!"
The girl huffed angrily, then closed her eyes to rest.
"Master, we've encountered another one. Should we check the almanac before we go out?"
Seeing this, Medicine Spirit couldn't help but sigh and say something.
"Since we're already here, let's make the best of it. Let's rest and ignore it!"
Ning Qi simply leaned against the inner wall of the carriage.
He appeared quite relaxed.
This only made the girl feel even more disgusted.
However, she didn't say anything, just sulked to herself.
"Brother, where are you from, and where are you going?"
The young man asked curiously.
"Myriad Sword Sect."
Ning Qi responded calmly upon hearing this.
"Oh? The Myriad Sword Sect?"
The other young man, upon hearing his words, couldn't help but widen his eyes.
He sized up Ning Qi in front of him.
"You are a disciple of the Myriad Sword Sect?"
The man, suppressing his inner turmoil, couldn't help but ask.
"No."
Ning Qi shook his head, answering readily.
"No? That's for beginners, isn't it?"
"Let me give you a piece of advice: going to the Myriad Sword Sect is going to be very difficult!"
You might not even be able to pass their trials!
The girl couldn't help but speak up and remind her.
There was also a hint of contempt in those words.
However, Ning Qi didn't care at all.
Instead, he appeared completely unperturbed.
This made the girl feel bored.
"Brother, my junior sister is right."
"Instead of doing this, you might as well come to our sect!"
"Perhaps you have the potential to learn and enter the path!"
The man looked at Ning Qi and said with a smile, "I can be your introducer."
"However, this introduction requires cultivating connections, and you'll have to pay a price."
"No need, I'm not interested."
Ning Qi interrupted him directly, "I'm going to the Myriad Sword Sect, not for a trial."
I'm going to find someone!
Once they got here, Ning Qi finally told the truth.
Looking for someone? You have friends in the Myriad Sword Sect?
The girl's eyes lit up when she heard his words.
This seemingly ordinary person actually knew someone from the Myriad Sword Sect.
"Right."
Ning Qi nodded and said with a smile, "So, I'm going to visit a friend, not to undergo a trial."
He reiterated what he was going to do.
"I see."
The man listened to his words and suddenly understood.
However, everyone looked at Ning Qi with envy.
To be able to befriend people from the Myriad Sword Sect, one's strength must be extraordinary.
"The team has set off!"
The girl felt the jolt and lifted the carriage curtain to look outside.
They discovered that their caravan had already begun its operation.
Ning Qi continued to sit leisurely in the carriage, enjoying this rare opportunity.
During this time, he was still slowly circulating his Cultivation Method to regulate his breathing.
He began to recover the Immortal-Demon Power and physical strength that he had consumed over the past few days.
Time flies, and after walking for a while, the sun was already high in the sky.
"When will it arrive? This is so slow!"
The girl, feeling the speed of the carriage, was already getting drowsy.
"Junior sister, hang in there a little longer."
"We'll be safe once we reach the city."
"You can teleport now."
The two fellow disciples kept comforting the girl.
"Alright, that's the only way!"
The girl sighed and glanced at Ning Qi, who was resting with his eyes closed to the side.
Then, following his example, I leaned to the side and began to close my eyes and rest.
The carriage began to bounce and jolt again.
After a while, the scorching sun gradually subsided.
This piqued Ning Qi's curiosity.
He lifted the carriage curtain and looked outside.
They discovered they had arrived in a dense forest.
The difference is that there is an official road here that people can travel on.
Clearly, this is an unavoidable route.
"Everyone, rest here for half an hour!"
Just then, someone shouted from afar.
"Ah, finally I can rest."
"This place is nice; it's a good place to cool off."
"We can still eat some dry rations!"
"..."
Immediately afterwards, murmurs and discussions could be heard from the carriage behind.
Ning Qi could sense that quite a few people had already gotten off the bus.
He followed him down from the carriage.
This gave us the opportunity to observe the environment here.
It is an ancient forest.
There are ancient trees everywhere, as well as some huge rocks.
This official road leads far into the distance.
"Master, this place is really nice."
The Medicine Spirit stood on his shoulder, looking out.
This place boasts beautiful mountains and clear waters, birdsong and fragrant flowers, and an ethereal atmosphere.
Walking along the streets here is a truly refreshing experience.
"This place is really nice, let's find a place to sit for a while!"
"My body was practically frozen from sitting in the car."
Ning Qi nodded, then stretched.
He took the Medicine Spirit and headed towards a Bluestone Slab.
Upon arriving at the table, Ning Qi sat down immediately.
"Master, look, isn't that girl's caravan?"
Medicine Spirit suddenly pointed to the convoy behind them and said.
Ning Qi opened his eyes and looked behind him.
Then they saw the former Commander leading his troops over.
"Yes."
He nodded and couldn't help but smile, "What a small world, we've run into each other here."
"Haha, Master, I think we're destined to be together?"
Medicine Spirit smiled and said, "However, we are still destined to meet Miss Xu."
"Alright, let's ignore it."
Ning Qi simply lay down and began to enjoy this rare and precious moment.
"Let's rest here for a while, everyone get off the bus."
"Go do whatever you're supposed to do!"
After a while, the Commander's voice came again.
Soon a commotion arose.
People gradually disembarked from the carriage.
"Isn't this our groom? What's he doing here?"
Some of the guards spotted Ning Qi.
"Yes, why didn't you take a carriage and came here instead?"
"The young lady is looking for you."
"..."
After the guards arrived, they all spoke.
"I was just hitching a ride, I didn't sell myself to you."
Ning Qi glanced at the group and said, "If you're looking for a coachman, there are plenty in town."
"Hey, how dare you talk like that!"
Princess Xiangxiang's voice quickly drifted over from afar.
Clearly, she had also heard that Ning Qi had been discovered.
That's why I came straight over.
Especially after seeing Ning Qi, a happy look immediately appeared on her pretty face.
It's like losing something of your own and then finding it again.
What I say is none of your business.
Ning Qi curled his lip. "I'm not a groom anymore."
"Kid, watch your mouth!"
"How dare you speak to my young lady like that?"
"..."
The guards were immediately displeased and began to rebuke them.
"You'd better get out of my way and don't mess with me!"
Ning Qi was in a good mood and was preparing to rest here.
However, after being disrupted by a few people, he immediately became unhappy.
"I want you to be my groom."
Princess Xiangxiang looked at Ning Qi, then at the caravan ahead. "You must have come here to do odd jobs. I'll buy you from them!"
"Let's see how you escape from my grasp now."
"Then go ahead, I'll wait for you."
Ning Qi smiled dismissively, then lay back down.
"Snort!"
Princess Xiangxiang gave a soft snort, then ordered, "You lot, go and find out what's going on."
"I'll pay ten times the price they paid for them!"
"Yes!"
"..."
Several guards respectfully accepted the order and then headed towards the middle-aged man in the caravan.
They chatted with the middle-aged man for a few words, then returned dejectedly.
"How's it going? Is it all done?"
Princess Xiangxiang saw the group return and asked happily.
"Miss, this young man isn't a handyman; he bought the caravan with Spirit Stone."
"Yes, even their manager couldn't solve it."
"..."
The guards offered their helpless explanations.
"How about it?"
Ning Qi smiled and continued, "Let's go. We're not on the same path. You go your way, and I'll go mine."
"Let's keep to ourselves and not disturb my rest anymore."
"You!"
"I'll remember you. When I get back, I'll make you pay!"
Princess Xiangxiang had no choice but to leave with harsh words and angrily sullenly.
Seeing this, the other guardians also left.
"Kid, if you've offended someone, don't sit with us."
The two young men who had just left also saw what was happening to Ning Qi.
Seeing that Princess Xiangxiang had left, he said this with displeasure.
Whether I offend someone or not is none of your business.
Ning Qi glanced at the two of them and said disdainfully, "Mind your own business and don't meddle in other people's affairs."
"Hey, how dare you talk to me like that?"
The girl was immediately displeased upon hearing Ning Qi's words.
She was already displeased the moment Ning Qi got into the car.
Now's the perfect opportunity to nitpick.
I can't be bothered arguing with you guys.
Ning Qi then closed his eyes and began to rest.
No matter what the others said, he ignored them.
And so, the two teams rested together here.
Gradually, Princess Xiangxiang's Commander began chatting with the shopkeeper here.
They seemed to have a very pleasant chat in the end.
Ning Qi didn't care about this, and simply closed his eyes to rest.
After a while, the middle-aged man came over.
"Hey buddy."
He looked at Ning Qi and said in a low voice.
"Shopkeeper, what brings you here?"
Ning Qi sat up and looked at the middle-aged man, asking a question.
"That's right, this gentleman has bought out our entire convoy for the rest of the journey."
"Before we arrived at the city, we were all their servants."
The middle-aged man looked at Ning Qi and then said, "So, I'll return your Spirit Stone to you first."
"If you'd like to continue with us, just talk to this gentleman."
"How many Spirit Stone you need is up to you."
"What?"
Ning Qi frowned upon hearing his words.
Only then did he realize what had just happened.
It turned out that they had bought the entire caravan outright.
To be precise, they bought out their entire journey from here on out.
This means that his Spirit Stone were wasted.
"Oh no, you've sold the caravan, what are we going to do?"
"Exactly, that's incredibly irresponsible of you!"
The other fellow disciples, after hearing what they were saying, started complaining as well.
"Don't worry, everyone, you can still hitch a ride."
The middle-aged man gestured to the group, telling them not to worry.
That's more like it.
"..."
The group was then relieved and decided not to pursue the matter further.
"And what about you?"
Once the group had stopped arguing, the middle-aged man turned his attention back to Ning Qi.
