The Empress of Ten Reincarnations Just to Find Me

Seeing this, Chen Han hurried forward to help the bearded man up, with a gentle smile on his face and a humble tone.

"Brother, there's no need to be like this. I'm younger than you, and this isn't proper etiquette. We're all just walking around, there's no distinction between high and low, and we should look after each other. I'm a little embarrassed to hear you say that."

After saying that, Chen Han bowed to the other drivers and said, "Big brothers, thank you all for your hard work. That scene just now was indeed scary, but fortunately, no one was seriously injured. Let's not dwell on it anymore and take a breath."

After hearing Chen Han's sincere and humble words, everyone respected him even more. The bearded man nodded repeatedly and said, "Brother Chen Han, you have such great abilities and such a kind and humble heart. It's really rare."

Chen Han waved his hands quickly, "Thank you for the compliment, big brother."

After experiencing those thrilling things just now, how could everyone sleep peacefully at this moment? Everyone was still in shock and was paying close attention to the movements around them with trepidation.

Seeing this, Chen Han took the initiative to chat with the bearded man, in order to ease everyone's tension.

The bearded man frowned and said solemnly:

"Brother, actually, a lot of worrying news has already been reported before."

Chen Han was curious when he heard this and looked at the bearded brother.

"Many villages and small households were massacred for unknown reasons. They were all unarmed, innocent people. It's heartbreaking just thinking about it."

"Furthermore, we've heard reports of some of our fellow convoys mysteriously vanishing, as if they'd evaporated from the face of the earth, leaving no trace. We were expecting to be safe and sound all the way here, but we didn't expect to encounter such a bizarre thing today. It seems the world is becoming increasingly unstable."

"If we hadn't met you three, I'm afraid we would have ended up like those people today."

The bearded man sighed after he finished speaking and looked up at the night sky with worry. It was really too difficult for ordinary people to survive.

When Chen Han heard what the bearded brother said, he was struck by lightning. In an instant, the tragic scene of his village being massacred and his parents dying tragically at the hands of those criminals emerged in his mind.

The once familiar home was reduced to ruins, the cries and screams of loved ones seemed to still echo in my ears, and the bloody and desperate scene was now reproduced clearly before my eyes.

His face instantly turned pale, his body swayed slightly, and his eyes were filled with pain and anger. Chen Han clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force, and his body trembled slightly.

Thinking about everything that happened today, Chen Han had a strong premonition in his heart, feeling that behind these seemingly scattered yet strange events, there must be some kind of terrible conspiracy hidden.

The bearded man has been traveling for many years and has experienced many people and things, so he naturally knows how to read people's expressions.

He noticed at a glance that Chen Han's face had suddenly turned pale, his body was trembling slightly, and his eyes were full of pain and anger. It was obvious that after hearing his words, he remembered something extremely heavy and felt that something was not right.

But he opened his mouth and swallowed the question back. After all, in this world, who doesn't have some painful past that they don't want to talk about? He was afraid that if he asked rashly, he would touch the obscure and vulnerable part of Chen Han's heart.

If that were the case, he couldn't guarantee what the other party's reaction would be, so he didn't ask any further questions.

The bearded man changed the subject and sighed softly.

"As for what these people's purpose is, I have no idea. I'm just an ordinary person, driving a convoy to transport goods. How could I know the twists and turns behind this?"

"I only heard a few days ago that immortals from some sects have already started to control these things. I thought that with the immortals' intervention, they would be able to calm down the chaos. I didn't expect..."

At this point, the bearded man drank a sip of water and shook his head helplessly, a wry smile on his face. "I didn't expect this to get worse. The news of villages being massacred and convoys disappearing keeps coming out, and there's no sign of improvement."

"Alas, ordinary people like us just hope to live a peaceful life, but in today's world, even this hope has become a luxury."

At this time, Chen Han did not speak, but just gasped for breath, his chest heaving violently, as if every breath was pulling at the unhealable wound deep in his heart.

His mind was like a kaleidoscope, constantly replaying the tragic scenes of the massacre in the village, the desperate cries of his relatives, and especially his parents' eyes filled with fear and reluctance, which flashed before his eyes again and again. Every scene was like a sharp blade, piercing his heart.

He kept asking himself, if he had possessed the same powerful abilities back then, would he have been able to escape with his parents when the villains attacked? Would he have been able to help his parents avoid the catastrophe and still be safe and sound by his side today?

At this time, Chen Yue also remembered a plan between her father and the Emperor of Jinwu Kingdom, and she wondered if it was related to this.

Chen Yue patted Chen Han's shoulder without saying anything, just gave him a comforting expression.

After a while, Chen Han finally calmed down. He took a deep breath, trying to calm the turbulent emotions in his heart, and forced a slightly tired smile on his face.

Then, Chen Han stood up, his eyes sweeping over the group. Although his tone was still a little heavy, he said with determination, "I'll keep watch tonight. You can all go to sleep. Everyone's tired after all this trouble today, and we have to continue our journey tomorrow, so we need to get enough rest."

When everyone heard this, their hearts warmed up, and their originally tense hearts were slightly relieved. After all, they had just witnessed Chen Han's ability, and with him guarding the night, their sense of security was truly doubled.

But at this moment, Chen Yue stepped forward, raised his hand and patted Chen Han, saying unhappily, "Let me do it. You've used up so much energy today, and you've just been through so much trouble. How can I let you keep watch all night alone? Go and get some rest, and don't try to be so stubborn here."

When Chen Han heard Chen Yue's words, he immediately looked embarrassed and hurriedly spoke.

"How can we let a girl like you come here? Night watch is what we men should do!"

As he spoke, Chen Han leaned closer to Chen Yue and whispered in a low voice, "Can they rest assured that you'll be on guard? Although you're quite capable, after all..."

Before he could finish his words, Chen Yue rolled his eyes at him fiercely. Without replying, he launched a powerful punch. Instantly, a powerful gust of wind whistled past, rustling the fallen leaves on the ground. The air around him seemed to tremble slightly from the force of the punch.

This suddenness made everyone startled, and then there was a silence. Everyone stared at Chen Yue blankly, their eyes full of surprise.

Chen Yue stood with his fists clenched, his chin slightly raised, and spoke with a proud look on his face.

"Hmph! With my skills, keeping watch all night is a piece of cake. You all can relax and sleep well. With me here, no danger can get close to you!"

Seeing this, Chen Han was also at a loss for words about Miss Chen Yue's temperament. She said the wind was wind and the rain was rain...

Then he scratched his head helplessly, knowing that Chen Yue’s temper could not be persuaded.

He could only smile bitterly and said to everyone, "Well... well, since you insist so much, then I'll have to trouble her to keep watch. Everyone, don't worry about it anymore. Go to sleep quickly. She will definitely wake us up the first time if there's any movement."

Everyone's faces were filled with black lines, and they were extremely surprised. Originally, seeing Chen Yue's gentle appearance, they subconsciously thought that she must be the kind of weak woman who needed to be protected.

Who could have imagined that the momentum and power of her sudden punch would shock everyone.

Everyone stared with their eyes wide open, their mouths hanging open for a long time. Many people were secretly wondering, how could this girl, who looked so weak, have such powerful skills? She was actually a cultivator.

Even the bearded man couldn't help but gasp in amazement. He scratched his head and said, "Hey, I didn't realize you were this capable, girl. Looks like with you keeping watch tonight, we can really sleep peacefully."

The other drivers also nodded rapidly, with a little embarrassment on their faces. After all, they had just looked down on others in their hearts.
