Chapter 30
Chapter 30–The Misty Rain Tower
That same night, Jiang Chen immediately left the Mayor’s mansion and started his journey towards Red city.
Jiang Chen changed into a clean white robe, tying his hair into a bun at the top of his head and letting two wisps of hair hang down from the side.he wore a golden silk belt around his waist and held a white folding fan.He looked calm and handsome, like a young man from a noble family.
The distance between Fragrant Sky city and Red city was more than a few thousand miles.Not only were there mountains between them, there was also a city named Crowded Sky city.Crowded Sky city was similar to Fragrant Sky city in size, and it was guarded by some Late stage Qi Hai warriors even though it was still weaker than Red city.
The sun had risen from the east, and the bright sunlight was streaming down all over.Jiang Chen had traveled for one day and two nights before arriving at Crowded Sky city.If he wanted to reach Red city, then he would have to pass through Crowded Sky city.If he choose to avoid the city, he would have to walk through rough terrain filled with monsters.It would delay his journey, which was why he decided to enter Crowded Sky city and pass directly through it.
Jiang Chen entered Crowded Sky, but he did not bother looking around.He was not interested in a city that was similar to Fragrant Sky city.He wouldn’t be able to find anything he needed here anyways.
That was why Jiang Chen kept walking, deciding to pass through Crowded Sky city without making a single stop.
On the other side of Crowded Sky city, near the city entrance, there was a huge square.There were a lot of people in this square, especially in the mornings.Today there were more people gathered here than usual.
Jiang Chen said with a smile on his face.
“Good, little brother Jiang Chen, our destination is Red city’s Misty Rain Tower.I will pay you 20 mortal restoration pills, do you accept?”
Yan Meng asked.
“Brother Jiang Chen, hurry up and accept the offer!We will be able to leave once you accept, I’ve waited for almost two days here.”
The man who teased Jiang Chen earlier, told him to go back home, and drink some more milk said.
“I’ll accept it.”
Of course Jiang Chen would accept it.He didn’t care much about those 20 mortal restoration pills.His destination was Red city, and he knew nothing about that city.If he followed the Misty Rain Tower caravan, he would be able to get more information regarding Red city.
“Alright, let’s go.”
Yan Meng said with a deep voice.The eight people were all walking around the caravan, and they left the Mercenary Square and Crowded Sky city.
“Old Yan, what are we carrying this time that requires so many Qi Hai warriors?”
Along the way, the man who teased Jiang Chen asked.His name was Wang Ting, and he was a direct guy.He loved talking.
“Don’t ask what you shouldn’t know.”
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.
