Chapter 26 They Had Been Tricked!
~Gallop, Gallop, Gallop, Gallop~~~
Several wagons gently swayed along the roads, making their way towards the town gate.
But suddenly, the old lady whose eyes were closed suddenly opened them again and frowned.
She squinted her eyes and became one with her surroundings as she scanned through patiently.
Nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
She found nothing out of the ordinary. But if that were the case, why did she keep feeling uneasy?
Could it be that her instincts were wrong?
Never!
It had never let her down the wrong path before.
"Odao, something’s not right? I feel as though we're being watched."
The old man with a strand of hay in his mouth also scanned through the place. But just like her, he didn't feel anything wrong.
He didn't even have the feeling that she had.
"Medina, I think you've gone rusty. Since you're uneasy, why don't I check it out?"
~Whoop, Whoop~~
Elder Odao took only 4 breaths to vanish and reappear.
In fact, to ordinary mortals, it might seem like he had been sitting there the entire time. And to lower cultivators, they might have been able to only see his after images. But people of Odao's level would perfectly see and know what he did.
The old man appeared high up in the sky and performed a particular search skill with his eyes. And just as he expected, he found nothing.
As expected, women were always too paranoid.
"Anything?"
"Nothing."

"Hmm."
Medina once again leaned back with a caller expression on her face.
Maybe she read it wrong.
After all, this was only a tiny, desolate town very far away from any major cities or areas that would have big bosses in them. So it was probably just nothing.
Plus, after pretending to be husband and wife with this old geezer and living here for months, she could tell that there weren't any powerful people in the town.
The most powerful was Old Fru, who was below her in strength.
Thinking like that, she couldn't be bothered by the constant warnings she got from her so-called instincts.

Chu Che and the rest continued before Chu Che suddenly slowed down, squinted his eyes, and frowned while looking in a certain direction.
Dammit!
From here, Chu Che could clearly see Bho Su, Yan Jin, and Bihn Owo, who were miles away.
Why did they go out during this time of the night?
From where they were, once the wagons got close, the Old geezers would probably notice And from that distance, given their cultivation level, Bho Su and the rest should be able to see their faces too. So if the news of people getting missing makes headlines tomorrow and Bho Su and his gang report the matter, then the geezers might not be able to stay here any longer.
But how could they let this happen when they still wanted to use this town to collect more children in future?
They would likely knock Bho Su and the rest out and take them along for the time being.
Chu Che didn't want them involved. Thus, he had no choice but to save them.
"Follow them. I'll be back."
Old Fru and the rest didn't even have time to react before Chu Che had vanished.
Looking at his actions, it appears that he had realized something.
'Young master, please remain safe.' They thought before following the steady-moving wagons.
Meanwhile, Bho Su and the rest, who had no clue about what was going on, calmly stood before their inn, feeling pumped up.

"Ahh! Today was amazing! At first, I thought it was all a big scam. But who would've known that it was a doorway to another world?"
"Yeah. I can't wait for sunrise to come. This time, I'll be sure to give Megaera a piece of my mind."
"Hmhm. She's too much! No wonder everyone wanted to kill her once we first stepped into the gaming hall. And to think that we thought they were bad people who failed to assassinate her. Now I feel bad for everyone else instead. Do you know how many times she has killed everyone to get their hatred? What an unreasonable woman!"
"Sigh... Brothers, let's talk about that woman later. Now, we have to train in the woods till morning. So let's go."
"Right!"
The trio nodded at one another in understanding. But just when they were about to leave, a figure appeared before them, leaving them in a daze.
How was this possible?
They didn't even feel anyone coming toward them when Chu Che appeared, making them gasp in shock at his strength.
No, forget that.
They didn't even feel the wind blow when he appeared as if he synched with nature.
F***!
Why was this guy so perverted?
How could someone of the same age as them be so strong?
Could it be that this guy was actually the son of the heavens?
But more importantly, why was he here?
No... It couldn't be.
What?... Was he here to assassinate them as they initially thought?
Their pupils opened wide as they started as Boss Chu in both confusion and vigilance. So this was his plan all along.
To win their favor over, lower their vigilance and kill them.
Yes! It all makes sense now.
They had been such fools to hold him in high esteem.
Who knows... Maybe Megaera was also working for him.
How could they be so foolish to believe his lies?

.
Chu Che looked at the dazed trio in confusion as well.
Why were they staring at him so much?
He knew he was handsome, but wasn't it too much for them to openly stare at him like this?
Shameless!
Well, he didn't have time for them to keep being dazzled by his appearance.
Soon, the wagons would be at a range that would allow those old Geezers to spot the trio from afar. So he had to act quick.
"You three. I don't have much time. So let's make it quick."
The trio trembled in anger, feeling betrayed: "What do you want to do? Kill us?!"
"Kill? Why would I want to kill you?"
"Don't pretend! Isn't that why you're here?"
"Eh? What's wrong with you all? You think I would kill you because you're jealous of my handsomeness? Do I look like such a petty person to you?"
"_"
"Sigh... It's not your fault. Jealousy has clouded your minds so much that you can't see facts anymore. But I'm a clear-headed person. So rather than killing you, I'm here to save you instead. That's right. I'm your savior."
