Light Cultivation
Eps. 134 — Mu Yuan
Jian Chen immediately released a chill on his body, making the wolf horde stop its pace to move forward.
On the other hand the guards or the girl in the carriage were so shocked when Jian Chen released the cold temperature, they also felt the same when the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped so drastically.
Jian Chen smiled faintly looking at him, one of his traits had yet to master this technique due to it.
Although Jian Chen aimed to target his technique at that wolf pack but this technique was an area type so those near Jian Chen could sense it.
But if Jian Chen could master it to the next stage, this ice element technique could target someone as per the target of the user.
Jian Chen stepped forward as he continued to release the cold, making the wolves retreat slowly before finally the leader of the wolf howled who told his subordinates to move back.
The bodyguards breathed a sigh of relief after the wolf ran into the forest again, Jian Chen stopped his technique of making the ambient temperature return to normal.
"Sir, thank you for helping us..." The Chief Guards directly saluted Jian Chen followed the others.
Jian Chen nodded slowly, waving his hand. "Not to think about it, I just happened to pass by here and happened to find you guys who were desperate."
The Guards tried to smile but for a moment a frown was engraved on their forehead when the face that helped her looked so young. At least he looks a dozen years old.
A short time later a woman who had been looking at the train finally came out.
The girl was wearing a pretty fancy dress, sweet-looking, in her 20s, in one look someone else would see the girl's identity was unusual.
When he realized someone was helping his entourage he immediately went out to meet the man. But when he saw the handsome young man's face, the girl was silent for a few seconds.
Jian Chen looked at the girl who looked unblinkingly looking at his face, Jian Chen coughed softly, making the girl misbehaved and so embarrassed.
The girl had not expected to meet a man like Jian Chen in a forest like this, other than the face of that handsome young man she also looked so young.
"Ehm! I mean, I just wanted to thank you for saving my bodyguard." Although the girl's face was flushed, she tried to be as normal as possible.
"It's okay Miss, I'm just doing what I'm supposed to."
The girl then introduced her name as Mu Yuan from one of the Mu noble families in the Wind Dragon Province.
The Mu family itself was quite famous and was one of the great noble families.
Jian Chen's eyebrows shot up, he naturally knew the Mu Family from his previous life, just that Jian Chen had not expected to meet a noble family figure like him.
To Jian Chen's knowledge, the Mu noble family had political ties to the provincial government.
What astonished Jian Chen was that if the girl in front of him was indeed as he said, with the strength and influence of his family, their bodyguards should not be this weak.
The Mu family possessed strength that was almost on par with an intermediate clan like the Jian clan.
Currently the bodyguard of the girl was on average at the 3rd Stage Soul Realm while the cultivation of her guard head was at the 8th Stage Soul Realm. This shows that their family strength is still weak.
'Is it possible because I came here sooner than I should, the Mu Family is still undeveloped...'
That was only Jian Chen's conjecture for a while because in the next two years the strength of the Mu family was already stronger, at least for the matter of escort to be among those who had already stepped on the Life Realm.
"Mr Swordsman, if I may ask, what is your name?" Mu Yuan again made a sound, breaking Jian Chen's daydream for a moment.
"Dians?" The girl looked puzzled as she had never heard of the Family or clan surnamed Jian in her memory.
"Broker Jian, I see you're traveling somewhere too, may I know where the destination may be we have the same direction. "
Jian Chen stroked his chin. "I'm not sure about that but for the purpose I will go to the capital."
Hearing that Mu Yuan's face looked bright, he then took Jian Chen away with his entourage or rather asked for his help to continue with him.
Mu Yuan did not cover up the intention of wanting to be with Jian Chen that was for his group to be safe.
"If the swordsman Jian objected to it calmly I would pay him with money, Swordsman Jian just mention the nominal later we will pay him..." Mu Yuan tried to persuade Jian Chen.
"Miss Yuan, it's not necessary, we also have the same direction and I don't mind being with you guys."
Mu Yuan then offered Jian Chen to get into his carriage during the journey to be more comfortable while later his horse let his bodyguard on the ride.
Jian Chen rejected the offer subtly, reasonedly preferring to ride a horse while Mu Yuan also could not force Jian Chen over his decision.
Finally Jian Chen went with the Mu family entourage, seeing that his beautiful white horse Mu Yuan was astonished as well as his bodyguards.
The White Rose Horse signifies that the rider is not an ordinary person, only a very rich person can have it.
Mu Yuan was embarrassed to offer Jian Chen a price earlier, he was sure by seeing the horse that Jian Chen's wealth might be on it.
Jian Chen ignored the gaze, he spurred his horse but this time it was slower. Equalizing the rhythm of his speed and the entourage of the noble family.
***
Jian Chen's entourage finally came out of the forest coinciding with the sunset.
During the forest there were only a few demons that came about to attack but because of Jian Chen's ice element, the demons ran before intending to do so.
There is actually a safer path than passing through the shady forest that is with a twisting direction, but of course it will take much longer.
Because their entourage was still far from the residential area, Jian Chen and the others chose to rest in the open.
The guards made a bonfire to warm the body from the cold of the night.
Mu Yuan who usually slept inside the carriage while on the way but this time was different, he wanted to feel how the sky was sleeping.
The bodyguards, especially the Chief Guards, seemed to object to the decision, although in the end he could not deny the wishes of his master.
Jian Chen watched as he only smiled faintly, he chose to sit on the fireplace he made himself.
Jian Chen took out a stealth gem from his spatial ring, intending to train while waiting for the sun to come out.
Just an hour later he absorbed the stealth gem Jian Chen was aware of someone's presence, when he opened his eyes he saw Mu Yuan was already standing nearby.
The girl looked surprised followed by a glued look looking at Jian Chen's golden eyes that were open and shining beautifully in the darkness of the night.
Mu Yuan thought Jian Chen was asleep or simply closed his eyes, he intended to wake him up for breakfast but instead ended up looking at the young man's face.
