Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

ing to die too, ” he thought.

”Can I ask who you are Miss? I see that your ship is big.
You must be from a well-known sect, ” he said.

”You don ’t need to know, ” Ma Rong said and looked around.
She then asked, ” Where are your horses? ”

”They were eaten by the monsters miss.
Gobbled up entirely.
Honestly, I was scared to death.
Thankfully, you guys saved me.
I don ’t know how I can repay you, ” the old man said.

”You don ’t have to repay us.
We were just doing what anyone would do in this situation, ” Alex said.
Ma Rong kept quiet.

”Alright, you said you were from a nearby village right? ” Ma Rong asked.

”Yes, it ’s about a few dozen kilometers that way, ” the old man pointed behind him.

”I see.
Then gather up your belongings and go back.
You do not have horses to carry the carriage anymore, so you won ’t make it to the capital before the registration date.
I doubt you could ’ve made it even if you had one.
So just return back to your village, ” Ma Rong said.

”I can ’t do that.
These disciples of mine have wanted to take part in the competition for such a long time.
I cannot let their dreams go to waste.
Please, can ’t you just let us up on the ship? I ’m sure you have a lot of room, right? ” the old man asked.

”No, ” Ma Rong said with a cold face and flew away, forcefully pulling Alex along with her.
Alex was surprised at the abrupt pull, but let her do it.

They both landed on the ship and Ma Rong told the elder to start moving again.
Very soon, they were moving at a fast speed away from the place.

Alex was confused as to what had just happened.
His master was unusually cold today after helping the people down there.
’Does she hate outsiders that much? Can ’t we just take little stowaways? I ’m pretty sure there is plenty of places, ’ he thought.

”What ’s going on master? Why didn ’t you help them? ” Alex asked.

”They… didn ’t need our help, ” Ma Rong said.

”But their carriage is broken.
I ’m sure we could ’ve ta— ”

”No, before even that, they didn ’t need our help.
That old man was crafty.
I don ’t know if he is a thief or what, but he wanted to get onto our ship for some reason. ”

”If I am not mistaken, that wasn ’t a monster hoard that randomly attacked them either.
It was clearly set up beforehand to make it look like they were attacked.
The horses were never there either, it was all a lie. ”

”He must ’ve paid some kids to act like they were in trouble and take the chance to rob whoever stopped to help them.
The old man was looking towards our ship from the very moment we arrived. ”

”He wanted us to help him, that bastard, ” she said.

Alex was surprised.
’How much experience do you need to have to catch things like that? If it were me, I would ’ve just let them into the ship openly, ’ he thought.

’I still have a lot to learn. ’
