Chapter 413: Chapter 413: Escorting the Merchant Convoy

Wyatt Barnes nodded.

He knew that Peni Relief’s decision to let him live in this small courtyard was undoubtedly also intended to keep an eye on him.

After all, his identity was still unconfirmed.

"Right."

Suddenly, as if recalling something, Peni Relief looked at Wyatt Barnes and asked curiously, "What exactly is the conflict between you and Leo Dunn?"

Peni Relief’s words made Wyatt Barnes remember the scene of Leo Dunn’s naked body entering the city earlier, and a smile spread across his lips.

He then recounted everything about the incident.

"This Leo Dunn goes too far!"

Peni Relief frowned, then let out a sigh, "Wyatt, you were a little excessive... Even though, given Leo Dunn’s behavior, your retribution is not unwarranted. However, he is the only son of Elder Shine Dunn. Your actions have made Shine lose face."

"No wonder I felt something was off with Elder Shine... It seems he already knows about this."

Peni Relief said finally, shaking his head.

Wyatt Barnes shrugged indifferently, "I don’t create trouble without reason... But if someone tries to step on me, I’m not a pushover to be trifled with!"

As he spoke, a glint of cold flashed in Wyatt Barnes’s eyes, chilly to the bone.

Peni Relief let out a sigh.

Wyatt Barnes’s reaction was not surprising to him.

If Wyatt Barnes had been submissive, he might even think that Wyatt was unworthy of his exceptional martial talent...

Martial artists, especially prodigies like Wyatt Barnes, should have pride and integrity!

"Why did the Sect Leader ask you to come to Ancient City?"

Peni Relief asked.

"The Sect Leader wanted me to gain some experience," Wyatt Barnes replied with a smile.

Peni Relief nodded, "In that case, settle down here for now. I will send someone to the Seven Stars Sword Clan to verify your identity... It will roughly take two months to and fro. During this time, you will follow me and grasp your own experience. As long as you are capable of handling a situation, I won’t interfere."

Wyatt Barnes nodded.

Shortly after, Peni Relief excused himself and left, leaving Wyatt Barnes alone to return to his room.

As soon as Wyatt Barnes closed his room door, a golden streak of light flew out from his sleeve.

It was ’Little Gold’.

"Squeak~"

Little Gold looked at Wyatt Barnes and squeaked twice.

At the same time, Little Gold’s voice, akin to a child’s, reached Wyatt’s ears via the condensation of Origin Force, "Brother Wyatt, I really don’t like that Leo Dunn... and that Shine Dunn, I can tell at first glance that he’s up to no good. Shall I help you by getting rid of him?"

As it spoke, Little Gold’s azure eyes were fixed on Wyatt Barnes.

A corner of Wyatt’s mouth twitched.

This confirmed that his previous ’educational attempts’ on Little Gold had entirely failed...

"Little Gold, that Shine Dunn is not simple, he’s a martial artist of the Third Layer of Peep Naught Realm... At the moment, you’re no match for him," said Wyatt with a grave expression.

Little Gold, with its ’half-step into thunder’, could kill any Second Layer Demon Beast or martial artist of Peep Naught Realm who had not realized thunder...

An existence of the Third Layer of Peep Naught Realm, even without realizing thunder, would not be an opponent Little Gold could kill currently.

Furthermore, that Shine Dunn, as an elder of the Seven Stars Sword Clan and having reached the Third Layer of Peep Naught Realm, would not have failed to realize thunder.

"Third Layer of Peep Naught Realm?"

Little Gold seemed disheartened and plopped down on the bed, drooping its small head.

"It’s okay, if you want to kill him, you’ll have your chance... Considering that you have only been alive for at most seven years, and Shine Dunn, who has cultivated for decades, has only reached his current level."

Seeing Little Gold’s despondent appearance, Wyatt couldn’t help but feel amused. He comforted it, "You possess the bloodline of the ’Azure-eyed Heavenly Mouse’. Outperforming him is only a matter of time."

Hearing Wyatt’s encouragement, Little Gold nodded, its azure eyes sparkling and animated.

And so, Wyatt Barnes temporarily settled in the mansion of the ’Ancient River Trading Chamber’s branch office’.

Meanwhile, outside of Ancient City, two figures with intervals between them flew across the sky. These were two Fierce Beasts of the Original Infant Realm...

Their destination was the location of the ’Seven Stars Sword Clan’.

On their backs, each had a passenger.

These two had the insignia of the ’Ancient River Trading Chamber’ on their clothes, clearly showing that they were members of the Chamber.

In the following days, Wyatt Barnes learned more about the Ancient River Trading Chamber and its office in the Ancient City.

The foundation of the Ancient River Trading Chamber was only average among the many chambers in the Royal Country.

The Ancient River Trading Chamber depended heavily on the ’Seven Stars Sword Clan’, annually surrendering a large amount of gold and silver to the Sword Clan...

Meanwhile, the Sword Clan would provide necessary protection for the Chamber.

As for the members of the Seven Stars Sword Clan like Peni Relief and Shine Dunn, their role was to guard the Ancient City branch office of the Ancient River Trading Chamber...

Of course, aside from guarding the branch office, they would occasionally escort the trading caravans of the Ancient River Trading Chamber.

Caravans traveling abroad are destined to face these attacks from horse thieves. Having elders and disciples of the Seven Stars Sword Clan as protection undoubtedly ensured more safety.

Early morning, the break of dawn wrapped the earth, revitalizing everything.

Wyatt Barnes, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, opened his eyes, a spark of sharp light flashing past.

"There’s still a gap to reach the Fifth Layer of the Original Infant Realm."

Wyatt Barnes exhaled, left his room, and stretched his limbs in the yard.

"Wyatt Barnes!"

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the courtyard.

"Elder Peni Relief."

Looking at the entering Peni Relief, Wyatt Barnes was somewhat surprised, "What’s the matter?"

You should know, it’s been seven or eight days since he arrived at the local branch of the Ancient River Trading Chamber...

And today, Elder Peni Relief comes looking for him for the very first time.

The first thought in Wyatt’s mind was:

Could it be an escort mission for the caravan?

The fact turned out, he guessed it right.

"Wyatt Barnes, recently there’s a shipment from the local branch of the Ancient River Trading Chamber that needs to be delivered. In three days, I will take three other disciples of the Seven Stars Sword Clan to escort the caravan... At that time, you will go together," Elder Peni Relief straightforwardly told Wyatt Barnes.

"Alright."

Wyatt Barnes replied, finally relieved to get some fresh air.

He knew that until his status as an inner disciple of the Seven Stars Sword Clan was confirmed, Elder Peni Relief would not allow him to leave his line of sight.

As for this, he doesn’t mind.

After all, he is an inner disciple of the Seven Stars Sword Clan, he has no reason to feel guilty.

After Elder Peni Relief left, Wyatt didn’t continue practicing, he lay down on the clean grass in the courtyard, looking up at the blue sky and white clouds, comfortably sunbathing.

The warm sunshine showered down, making Wyatt feel snugly warm.

"Squeaky~~"

At this time, Little Gold, the golden mouse hiding in Wyatt’s sleeve, also crawled out, lying next to Wyatt, imitating his posture.

Its pair of shiny turquoise eyes, rolling around, lively and cunning.

"Brother Wyatt, I miss Sister Keer."

Little Gold’s Origin Force condensed voice reached Wyatt’s ears.

"Keer didn’t coddle you for nothing..."

Wyatt held Little Gold in his hand, gently stroking its fur, "But, since we’re out, let’s stay longer outside. Once they confirmed my identity, I’ll take you around."

"Awesome! Great!"

Hearing Wyatt’s words, Little Gold jumped with joy, extremely excited.

Its turquoise eyes sparkling brightly, twinkling like two beautiful gems...

At this moment, it had completely forgotten about Keer.

"But you need to listen to me... If there are strangers present and I didn’t let you come out, you absolutely cannot show up, understand?"

Wyatt changed the subject, setting the terms with Little Gold.

Little Gold was in high spirits, naturally, it agreed to all of Wyatt’s requests.

Three days later.

Wyatt, riding on a tall horse, followed Elder Peni Relief, accompanying the caravan of the Ancient River Trading Chamber as they departed from the ancient city of Tianhuang.

Apart from him and Elder Peni Relief, there were three other inner disciples of the Seven Stars Sword Clan, including Leo Dunn.

These two disciples, with similar ages to Leo Dunn, were now traveling together with Leo Dunn.

At this moment, their eyes towards Wyatt were filled with doubt.

"Leo Dunn, is he that inner sect disciple from the sect?"

One of the inner sect disciples quietly asked Leo Dunn.

"Humph!"

Leo Dunn coldly glanced at Wyatt, saying indifferently, "Whether he is one of us, a disciple of the Seven Stars Sword Clan or not, we are not sure yet... The truth will only be revealed after our return from this trip."

"Leo Dunn, out of fear of a young man like him, you stripped naked and walked into the city?"

Another inner sect disciple looked at Leo Dunn, a teasing expression on his face.

Which caused Leo Dunn to blush in shame.

The incident that day has become widely known and has now become a stain on his life.

As he thought of it, Leo Dunn’s face darkened, his icy and venomous gaze rested on Wyatt...

From his perspective.

All of this was because of Wyatt.

"Wyatt Barnes, you and I are irreconcilable!"

In Leo Dunn’s heart, his hatred for Wyatt had reached the extreme.

Wyatt naturally noticed Leo Dunn’s gaze, but he didn’t care at all, completely ignoring it as he continued to chat with Elder Peni Relief, "Elder Peni Relief, where is Elder Shine Dunn?"

"Elder Shine Dunn is in charge of the local branch of the ’Ancient River Trading Chamber’... This time, only the five of us are in charge of escorting the caravan," replied Elder Peni Relief.

Wyatt nodded, then asked, "Elder Woody Dunn, how long will our round trip escorting the caravan take?"

"About two months I suppose."

After contemplating for a moment, Elder Peni Relief replied slowly.

Then, as if remembering something, Elder Peni Relief continued, "After two months, the men Elder Shine Dunn and I dispatched to the Seven Stars Sword Clan should be back... Whether you’re an inner disciple of the Seven Stars Sword Clan or not, we’ll know by then."

Wyatt nodded, not bothered at all.

In his view.

His identity as an inner disciple of the Seven Stars Sword Clan is an undisputed fact that no one can change.
