Eternal God Swordsman

Zhu Yu Merchant

It had been two weeks since the fight between Ho Chen and the three demon generals in the forest, they were currently continuing their journey.

Qiao Lin and Jiu Rui were uncomfortable with Ho Chen's attitude which still looked cold and indifferent to the two of them.

Every day Ho Chen practiced in the Inner Realm during the night and walked without any talk during the day, this was also felt by the white dragon, he regretted having taught Ho Chen how to open the door of immortality.

The more tormented one was Ho Chen himself, he wanted to return to having a feeling of friendship and brotherhood, yet several times he tried to keep the result the same, the only taste was bland and absolutely could not replenish the feeling of bondage in his heart.

"When will he continue to behave like that with the two of us.?" Chirp Qiao Lin with annoyance.

Jiu Rui who heard that only sighed, she herself also did not understand why Ho Chen could change such attitude to the two of them.

When the minds of the two of them were busy thinking about Ho Chen's demeanor, Ho Chen suddenly stopped the white dragon steps on his mount.

"What's Chen? Why are we stopping here? Isn't it too late to rest here?." Qiao Lin asked.

Ho Chen did not reply but instead turned his body back and stared back.

Ho Chen could sense the presence of a group of people from behind them but far enough away, Ho Chen could also sense that there were several horses in the crowd.

Qiao Lin also looked towards the direction that Ho Chen was looking at, yet he did not see anything as well as Jiu Rui. "Sister Lin do you know what sister Chen saw?." Jiu Rui asked in a whisper to Qiao Lin.

Qiao Lin simply raised his shoulders then wanted to go back on his way.

"Wait first! We'll rest here for a while, and it looks like we'll also be followed by a group of people from behind." Said Ho Chen.

Qiao Lin followed what Ho Chen said, even though he did not see the group of people Ho Chen was referring to, however Qiao Lin believed it because he already knew if Ho Chen could sense the existence of people from a great distance.

Jiu Rui was only confused but he did not refute Ho Chen's words, the two of them got off his horse then tied their horses and sat under a tree without speaking anything.

Ho Chen himself also chose to sit down but kept his distance with the two of them, while the white dragon chose to lie not far from where Ho Chen was.

Jiu Rui grew increasingly annoyed at Ho Chen's attitude, then she directly walked up to him to speak.

"Sister Chen! What the hell is wrong with you? Why is your attitude like that towards the two of us? Did we do something that offended you...?." Jiu Rui asked who did not accept Ho Chen's attitude.

Ho Chen looked at Jiu Rui expressionlessly and shook his head, he was at a loss to explain what to Jiu Rui.

"Then What...?." Jiu Rui asked again then turned her head towards Qiao Lin. "Ah. I know! Do you think I have such a special relationship with sister Lin that you are jealous and angry with us?." Said Jiu Rui he thought maybe Ho Chen was jealous of him for being close to Qiao Lin.

Ho Chen who originally looked cold was now coughing with a choking on his own saliva, he did not expect Jiu Rui's suspicions to go that far. Qiao Lin also heard Jiu Rui's remark he was similarly shocked and glared at Jiu Rui who was still staring at Ho Chen.

Jiu Rui was getting annoyed at not finding the root of the problem, she returned to her place by puffing her cheeks.

After a while there were a few horseshoe sounds from a distance, and there were also four wagon goods pulled each by two horses.

They were almost a hundred, and there was a merchant.

They observed Ho Chen with a standby position, they were afraid that Ho Chen would be a robber or scoundrel who would plunder their treasures.

"Sorry Sir! Can we get through here? We're just little merchants who want to go to town!." A half-old man with a fat body spoke to Ho Chen and asked for permission to pass through.

Ho Chen got up from his seat making them even more vigilant, yet they were not willing to act rashly.

"I'm not the owner of this road, we happened to pass by here and rest for a while." Said Ho Chen.

"If I may know where you are going, sir?." Ask the man again.

"We're going to the city too." Said Ho Chen.

The man looked at Ho Chen more closely he found no sign of lying from Ho Chen's words, then looked at Qiao Lin and Jiu Rui.

"Are you guys warriors?." The man asked after seeing the sword that Qiao Lin and Jiu Rui had brought.

"In fact we are ordinary warriors who are doing simple tasks." Ho Chen said casually.

"What sect are you from?." Again the man asked to confirm Ho Chen's words.

Qiao Lin immediately took out an identifying mark in the form of a blue-colored jade slab and there was a picture of a mountain in the middle while below it was inscribed Ice Mountain.

"You guys are from the Ice Mountain sect! I'm sorry I suspected you. Introduce my name Zhu Yu and they are the workers and also the hired bodyguards to guard the safety of the items I carry." Zhu Yu said.

Ho Chen watched the workers as well as Zhu Yu's bodyguards. The bodyguards are on average at peak Earth level 1 and there are also those who are still at peak soul Level 4.

 Zhu Yu spoke to Ho Chen. "We're heading in the same direction! What if you join us? And all I ask for your help also to take care of me and also the ordinary people I bring."

Ho Chen did not reply he only smiled faintly to Zhu Yu.

Zhu Yu felt bad to see Ho Chen not answering his offer. "Master don't worry. If you are willing, after arriving in the city I will make sure to give you a decent compensation for the three of you." Her speech.

Ho Chen turned his head towards Qiao Lin and Jiu Rui, the two of them as if handing the decision to Ho Chen.

"Well, we will go with you to the city, and when we get there we will part." Said Ho Chen as if he was not tempted by the payment Zhu Yu would give.

"All right, our Master understands, let's continue the journey." Zhu Yu said, she was happy that she got additional manpower that could keep her things.

Ho Chen summoned the white dragon then walked first in front and was followed by Qiao Lin and Jiu Rui.

Zhu Yu again walked towards the city and followed Ho Chen behind with all his entourage.

Some of Zhu Yu's bodyguards whispered to each other they were talking about Ho Chen who they thought was too confident, they had been since starting the journey always in fear, fear of the attacks of bandits and robbers who lately have often been seen.
