It’s just cultivating immortality, who isn’t a favorite of heaven?
Chapter 5 Making Friends
Cheng Shuyan paid the bill, ignored the seemingly mentally retarded boy, and got up and left.
Unexpectedly, Shen Yunjian followed closely behind her, walking closely with her.
"Ayan, Ayan, where are you going next? Are you going to travel around the world doing justice? Take me with you, I might fight!"
Cheng Shuyan stopped and said helplessly, "Mr. Shen, I'm very happy to meet you, but I have my own things to do. Please do as you please."
After saying that, she ignored the disappointment in Shen Yunjian's eyes and turned to walk towards the town's Chamber of Commerce.
Shen Yunjian looked at her back with a hurt look in his eyes, but his smile returned in an instant.
He patted his head and suddenly realized: "Oh, why am I so stupid!
My mother said that little girls are very timid. If I rashly tell Ah Yan that I want to travel around the world with her, she will definitely be scared. Once we get to know each other, we can become friends!
Then he jumped up and followed.
……
"Little brother, is there anything you need?" In the Chamber of Commerce, the middle-aged manager greeted Cheng Shuyan enthusiastically.
Cheng Shuyan bowed slightly to the steward and explained his purpose: "Steward, may I ask if there are any convoys heading to Xuanyang City in the near future? I would like to seek a job in Xuanyang City."
The manager squinted his eyes as he looked at her, then said with a smile, "Of course there is. Tomorrow our Chamber of Commerce will have a convoy transporting goods to Xuanyang City. We can take you along. It only costs one or two taels of silver."
Hearing this, Cheng Shuyan nodded and handed the steward one or two taels of silver: "Thank you very much, steward. I will come over early tomorrow morning to set off with the convoy."
The Chamber of Commerce's fleet escorts goods between towns for a long time. In order to reduce costs, they also take on some work of transporting people.
Bandits are rampant these days, and many people who need to go out alone choose to travel with a caravan to reduce the risk of being targeted by bandits.
Now, this is also Cheng Shuyan's best choice. These caravans are doing long-term business, and she is not worried that her silver will be cheated.
Holding the credentials issued by the manager, Cheng Shuyan was about to leave when a familiar voice sounded behind him.
"Wait a moment, Steward. I also want to go to Xuanyang City!"
When she turned around, Shen Yunjian grinned at her with his teeth bared.
Cheng Shuyan ignored him and turned to walk out. Seeing this, Shen Yunjian immediately threw a tael of silver to the manager without asking for the receipt. He just shouted, "I'll come with her tomorrow," and left with Cheng Shuyan.
"Ayan, wait for me! Ayan, I'm not a bad person, I really want to be friends with you, Ayan, look at me, Ayan, say something, Ayan..."
"okay!"
Cheng Shuyan was annoyed by his noise: "Mr. Shen, Brother Shen, we are friends now, can you shut up?"
Feeling that he had no ill intentions, Cheng Shuyan spoke bolder.
"Ah? Really? That's great, hahaha. I told you, as long as I'm sincere enough, I'll definitely be able to make friends!"
Shen Yunjian grinned like a fool.
Cheng Shuyan stroked his forehead. How could there be such a... stupid person?
"Shen Yunjian, why on earth do you have to follow me? Are you so short of friends?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yunjian's expression suddenly fell. "I've never had any friends since I was a child. My father said that no one would truly be friends with someone like me, so I ran away secretly. I just wanted to prove to him that I could make real friends."
Seeing his expression, Cheng Shuyan felt a little soft-hearted.
It's obvious that this child grew up in the love and care of his parents and has never seen the dangers of society.
It’s so... simple.
"Okay, follow me if you want, but I have my own things to do in Xuanyang City. Once we get there, you can't follow me like this and interfere with my work, okay?"
Seeing that her attitude had softened, Shen Yunjian's eyes lit up again, as bright as stars.
"Okay, I'll be quiet then. If you need a fight, I'll help you!"
"By the way, why are you walking around outside alone at the first level of Qi training? What if you encounter an evil cultivator? Doesn't your master care about you?
Or are you a casual cultivator? Like the storybooks say, you fell off a cliff and stumbled upon a magical technique?
It doesn't look like it! I see that your spiritual energy is very strong, which is not comparable to that of ordinary cultivators at the first level of Qi training. It would be impossible to do it without inheritance."
……
Amidst Shen Yunjian's chattering, the two found an inn to stay in. After dinner, they returned to their rooms.
Cheng Shuyan sat at the table, thinking about Shen Yunjian.
He has a simple mind, is sincere, and most importantly, has no ill intentions. It is indeed a good choice to travel with him.
After all, she now has no knowledge of the world of immortal cultivation, and she has no idea how to find it. It would be great if she could get help from Shen Yunjian.
But she had her own things to do. She had to go to Xuanyang City to find Cheng Dani's sister. This was what she had promised Cheng Dani.
If this trip goes smoothly, after she finishes dealing with this matter, she will find a way to go to the world of immortal cultivation and find her enemy.
……
The next morning, when Cheng Shuyan opened the door, she saw Shen Yunjian already waiting at her door. When he saw her come out, his eyes immediately lit up.
"Ayan, good morning! This is breakfast. I went out early this morning and lined up to buy it! It's the best meat pie in town!"
Cheng Shuyan took the meat pie, took a bite, and it tasted really good.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome, haha, I knew you would like it."
The two arrived at the Chamber of Commerce. The manager saw them and pointed to a burly man beside him. He said, "Young Masters, the convoy is about to depart. This is the leader of the convoy. You can call him Brother Zhang."
Cheng Shuyan bowed to the big man and said, "Hello, Brother Zhang. Please take good care of me along the way."
Seeing this, Shen Yunjian also imitated her and bowed, saying, "Brother Zhang, please take care of me."
"Hahaha, no problem, no problem! Come with me, brothers. The convoy is already waiting at the city gate. We'll set off as soon as we arrive!"
The two of them hurried to catch up, and when they arrived at the city gate, they saw that the convoy was ready to go.
As soon as the three arrived, Team Leader Zhang immediately shouted, "Let's go!"
Then the convoy moved in an orderly manner and left the town.
In such a convoy, except for the horse-drawn carriages carrying the goods, everyone else walks around the goods to protect them.
Cheng Shuyan and Shen Yunjian followed behind the convoy, and Shen Yunjian had a silly smile on his face all the way.
Cheng Shuyan couldn't help but ask curiously, "Shen Yunjian, what have you been laughing at all the time?"
Hearing this, Shen Yunjian laughed even more happily: "Ayan, is this what we call wandering the world? I saw it said so in the storybooks!"
