Before long, a cavalry party of around ten people appeared in view. They spotted Chen Mo's group of three at once, and the sturdy man leading them immediately fixed his gaze on Chen Mo. His expression changed, and he promptly spurred his horse forward.
With Chen Mo's eyesight, he recognized their attire at a glance. They were clearly people from the Fierce Tiger Martial Arts School.
"Surely you're not such sore losers, are you? Besides, you didn't even lose, did you?"
Puzzled, Chen Mo gestured for Chen Ying and Chen Yuqi to retreat behind him. To his eyes, the galloping horse was as flimsy as paper, carrying no threat whatsoever. If he wished, he could stop it with one hand—or simply smash it apart.
When the distance between them was less than ten meters, just as Chen Mo was preparing to make a move, the rider reined in his horse, dismounted, and walked over.
"Instructor Chen, I never expected to run into you here."
"You're from the Fierce Tiger Martial Arts School?" Chen Mo asked bluntly.
The man nodded. "Instructor Chen has sharp eyes. I am Xiao Liang, an Instructor Martial Master of the Fierce Tiger Martial Arts School. By the School Master's order, I am heading to your hometown, Chen Family Village, to recruit disciples."
"You're going to Chen Family Village to recruit disciples?" Chen Mo suspected he had misheard.
As long as someone in the village was of suitable age and had the potential to become a martial artist, village chief Chen Qun would always find every possible way to send them to the County Town.
Why would people from a top-tier martial arts school like the Fierce Tiger Martial Arts School need to make a special trip there?
Could this be because of me? Chen Mo wondered.
