Light Cultivation
Eps. 230 — Travel Together
Jian Chen massaged his aching head, now knowing that Ziyun and Meily's condition had ended.
After interrogating the person who was chasing the two, Jian Chen could understand they were being targeted by a clan, this was related to the heirloom sword that Ziyun had.
The Ice God Sword that Jian Chen had given him had in fact been realized by a small portion of the swordsmen in the Fire Dragon Province.
As a result, many are targeting Ziyun because of the sword until he ended up being chased until here.
Actually Ziyun would be safe if he was in the academy area because other than those rare geniuses there, the Academy was also an Imperial government area that would be directly protected by the government.
Ziyun and Meily could be chased because they were trapped by the eight people earlier, during the chase, the two were arguably having a hard time returning to the academy as some members of the clan stood guard near the Academy in order for Ziyun to be unable to return.
Jian Chen clenched his hands hard, he had not expected Ziyun and Meily to be able to experience such a miserable condition.
Jian Chen returned to the inn after killing the previous eight people, he entered through the window and arrived at his room. Jian Chen immediately changed into clothes that were previously wet from the rain.
Not long after the knock on the door rang out, Jian Chen opened it and saw Ziyun coming behind the door.
Ziyun had cleaned herself and changed clothes, now the girl looked even sweeter with her dark purple dress.
Both Ziyun and Meily were now in their 20s, their beauty was already perfectly described at a young adult.
"Brother Jian..." Ziyun was a little embarrassed as Jian Chen kept staring at her face.
Jian Chen regained his senses then coughed softly, Ziyun besides having refreshed the girl's face also rippled making her look like a sweet girl.
"Have you rested?" Jian Chen asked awkwardly.
Ziyun nodded slowly, she then expressed her intention here to talk about something important to her. Jian Chen then let him into his room.
"Brother Jian, it's actually the reason I'm here..." Ziyun then told him about the problem he had been having all this time that Jian Chen had actually learned from the group.
Jian Chen smiled awkwardly then took out something from his hand that was the badge of the previous group, Ziyun was so shocked that he knew the badge well after having once exchanged attacks with their group.
"Brother Jian, this... How did you get it?"
"The group that was after you earlier was already near the inn and was about to come here, I did something to them..."
Jian Chen did not need any further explanation because Ziyun definitely knew what he was doing to the group.
"Sorry to make you like this because of the inheritance I gave you..." Jian Chen was a little guilty because he was Ziyun so chased by the bad guys.
"Brother Jian, it's not because of you! I'm the one who's not careful about wearing it."
Jian Chen smiled warmly at her, he could see the worried face of the girl slightly disappear.
"The only place that keeps you safe is to go back to the Academy, I will accompany you there because from the beginning I will be going to the academy to meet you both." Jian Chen said so that Ziyun could not resist.
"But Brother Jian, if you are with us you will also be targeted by the people who are after me?"
"That's why I have to be with you, to keep you safe." Jian Chen stroked Ziyun's hair gently making the girl feel a sense of comfort.
"Thank you, I always owe you a favor, if Brother Jian asks for my help in the future, I will try to do so even with life."
Ziyun did not refute, after experiencing a heavy situation for the past two weeks she needed a long rest period.
Ziyun returned to her room afterwards and left Jian Chen alone. Jian Chen turned his head towards the window where the heavy rain was still pouring down that night.
The young man let out a long sigh, reality again hit him hard. Although it would currently be difficult to find something that killed Jian Chen but that was not the case for the people closest to him.
Ziyun, Meily and Yue Lian were examples, if his arrival was not on time near them then fate would say another at this time.
The problem is that the power of the self also has its limits, not everything we protect will always run monotonous.
Jian Chen finally chose to sleep that night, the heavy rain accompanied by the strong wind made his body ask to rest.
***
Meily needed a long time until she regained consciousness, at least she rested up to eighteen hours because of the condition of her body that was completely exhausted.
Ziyun was also not much different even though he had first woken up, the first thing they encountered when it came to their senses was to search for Jian Chen's whereabouts.
"Thank God you're better..." Jian Chen smiled warmly as he stroked Meily and Ziyun's hair in turn. "Have you guys had breakfast?"
Meily bit her lips while Ziyun only smiled faintly, the two of them now did not have enough money anymore even just for breakfast.
Jian Chen certainly understood this and took them to the first floor, where there were already many dishes that the servants had prepared for him.
Although he initially refused because he felt bad but Jian Chen slightly persuaded him to make them unable to refute.
In the inn there were only the three of them because Jian Chen had rented the entire inn so there were no other customers.
"Eat a lot, this will allow you to recover as soon as possible..."
Jian Chen chuckled softly seeing Meily restraining her appetite for not wanting to look greedy in front of Jian Chen.
The girl's face instantly reddened as Jian Chen read her mind like a book, regardless of Meily's slender and slender body Jian Chen knew the girl's appetite was very much.
Jian Chen also came to eat with them so that the two of them would not feel awkward.
After eating Jian Chen then took out an amethyst-type space ring that he had obtained from tracing the ancient tomb a long time ago and gave it to the two.
"This Jian Brother..." Ziyun and Meily were speechless to see the rare type space ring.
The amethyst space ring only belonged to a handful of people in the Dragon Empire, and one of them was His Imperial Majesty so it was only natural that the two of them reacted so.
Jian Chen in addition to giving the ring away he had also inserted tens of thousands of gold coins in it, Jian Chen made sure the two girls would not experience a shortage of money back even for the next three years.
"Brother Jian, I find it difficult to string words together again after all you have given us..." Meily hugged Jian Chen, she no longer cared about her embarrassment at Jian Chen's continuous kindness towards her.
"No need to worry, I hope you're living a better life." Jian Chen stroked the head of Meily who was now in his chest.
Meily nodded slowly while Ziyun who was standing nearby did the same.
Jian Chen then explained their journey together which was about to depart tomorrow, Jian Chen had to make sure the two were in top shape before embarking on the journey.
