An old man who stood next to Yan Meng said as he gazed at Wang Ting. Out of these 8 men, besides Yan Meng, there were also 2 others from the Yan family. One of them was at the mid stage of the Qi Hai realm, and the other was at the early stage of the Qi Hai realm.
Wang Ting didn’t get angry even though he was scolded by the old man. He just smiled and looked at Jiang Chen.
“Brother Jiang Chen, you’ve reached this level at your age… Looking at how you dress, you should be from some good family. So, why did you decide to follow us as a mercenary?”
Wang Ting asked. The rest of the men looked at them as well, even Yan Meng was interested in the answer.
“My dad told me that I should experience life while I am still young.”
Jiang Chen said with a laugh.
Yan Meng turned his head towards Jiang Chen with a smile on his face, “Your dad is a smart man. A young man like you is like a flower in a greenhouse. No matter how strong you are, without any practical experience you will be useless. That’s why you need to go outside and gain more experience. Oh right, is Brother Jiang Chen from Crowded Sky city?”
“I’m from Fragrant Sky city, I was about to go the Red city just like you.”
Jiang Chen said.
“Fragrant Sky city? I heard something big happened there. The Lee family’s young lord was killed by someone there, and yesterday the men from the Lee family passed through Crowded Sky city in a hurry.”
Wang Ting said with an interested look on his face.
“I left the city a couple of days ago, so I don’t know anything about that.”
Jiang Chen said with a smile. Looks like news about what happened in Fragrant Sky city would be spread across all 28 cities soon enough, and his name would be heard by many people.
The men were talking and laughing along the way. The atmosphere was pretty relaxing, and since they were not riding fast, they had just managed to reach the outer area of Red city’s territory by evening. There were a lot of bandits and thieves along the journey from Crowded Sky city to Red city. Occasionally, there were some monsters as well, but all of the men in the caravan were Qi Hai warriors. None of the bandits or thieves were brave enough to mess with them. Attacking this caravan would be the same as walking into a deathtrap.
However, Jiang Chen had a feeling that things wouldn’t be so simple. Yan Meng had spent so much just to hire all these Qi Hai mercenaries, thus there must be a reason for his actions.
