"Garch…"
As the boy took a bite from the apple, his eyes never left the lady. He was listening attentively as if to make sure not to forget anything.
The lady continued seeing the boy was being attentive. "I recommend you to go with that batch of children so your journey will be much safer. The Town Lord will personally bring the children to the city. I tell you, he is a powerful Spirit Disciple Stage cultivator. So with him being the escort, everyone's safety is guaranteed."
"Oh," The boy's eyes sparkled in amazement. Since such a powerful cultivator would protect them, it would indeed be safe.
Suddenly he stopped thinking as if he realized something.
"B-but, how can I join them?" He asked with a sour voice. His expression was sad. "I am not from here. I'm sure they won't accept me."
