Chapter 268 Quick Adaptation

While Li Moyun succeeded in giving Xiao Long a reason to work hard, Bai Rouyun was also spending her time cultivating.
At first, she had been enjoying the journey, but after two days, the time spent in the carriage began to feel wasted, and thus she decided to simply cultivate during their time on the road.
She would speak with Jiang Wei and Mo Chu from time to time, but most of her time was spent on cultivating, and Jiang Wei soon found that it was too boring to look at her refining Qi, so he climbed outside and sat next to Mo Chu, who was driving the carriage.
At first, Mo Chu was on high alert and somewhat uncomfortable with this young man’s appearance. As a member of the Eternal Shadow Palace, Mo Chu was well aware that this Jiang Wei was not the same one who had made the heavenly oath back in the days, so there was nothing that could be used to hold him back from harming them.
However, since he could not threaten him, he decided to try and understand him instead. Mo Chu was good at finding topics for their conversation, but he elegantly skipped anything too sensitive, such as his real identity and background, and instead tried to find out about his likes and personality instead.
Jiang Wei was well aware of his intentions, but he did not feel angry. He understood that Mo Chu was trying to understand him for the sake of keeping Bai Rouyun safe, and he also noticed that this loyal guard did not show any hostility or hidden intentions towards him.
Mo Chu was sincere while speaking and also reciprocated with some information about himself and Bai Rouyun in turn.
The information would not have much use for anyone else, but it managed to let Jiang Wei get a better understanding of the two of them as well, and it became a conversation between equals.
The experts from the Eternal Shadow Palace that had been hidden also slowly accepted Jiang Wei’s strength. They understood that they could not stop him or do anything to him, so they stopped guarding his every move and began to focus on other dangers instead.
The ability to adapt was truly admirable, and Jiang Wei raised an eyebrow in approval. Li Moyun had made these experts understand how to adjust their mindset rather quickly.
While the ones from the Eternal Shadow Palace quickly accepted his strength, the rest of the entourage were all quiet and dared not even breathe loudly. When they spoke together, their voices would be low, as if they feared that they would interrupt and annoy him. The fear in their hearts was clearly displayed on their faces, and Jiang Wei felt bored when he looked at them.
Bai Rouyun was the only one who could spend the time cultivating. She was seated in the carriage and their days would be spent on constant traveling. They would set out after breakfast in the morning, and would not stop before it was time for dinner in the evening.
Their lunch would be eaten on the move, and the beasts were also much stronger than mortal beasts, so they did not require breaks on the way.
This allowed for Bai Rouyun to spend a long time uninterrupted to focus fully on cultivation, and the days slowly passed one after another.
The teacher, who had initially planned to attack Bai Rouyun on the way, managed to cancel his preparations, and while he ended up with having to pay a large fine, he was not too upset about his loss, as he was still alive.
The siblings also decided to stay clear of Bai Rouyun. Although she alone did not frighten them, they understood very clearly that Jiang Wei was in her group, and that if they caused her trouble, Jiang Wei might trouble them in return. While they were arrogant, they were not suicidal.
The longer time they spent on the journey, the more crowded the roads became. Canglan City was located in an area that was known as the Barren Triangle, and while it was much more prosperous than Richu Empire, it was still nothing when one came closer to the center of the continent.
The Barren Triangle was known to be the weakest part of the continent, and those who lived there were truly lacking in talent. Even if one did have a good talent, the density of heaven and earth essence in the air would often cut one’s future dreams short.
The experts in the group had long since looked at themselves as being talented and lucky to be picked by these stronger factions, but they had never actually been this far into the continent, and the energy caused them to be very confused.
Even more puzzling was it that the random experts that they encountered on the way also grew increasingly strong the further they came, and even a normal mercenary could be stronger than Bai Rouyun.
While Bai Rouyun had noticed this phenomenon, she was not surprised. She had previously roamed the entire continent, so she was very familiar with the geographical benefits that the center of the continent possessed, so she took everything in naturally, while the experts outside were all stunned.
"Move!" Suddenly, Bai Rouyun, who had been focused on cultivating, heard a loud and arrogant voice sounding from behind her carriage, but as her drivers were Mo Chu and Jiang Wei, neither of them bothered to care about this haughty voice, yet the person who had shouted did not seem to mind that he was embarrassing himself, as he flashed past the carriage window.
Bai Rouyun had awoken from her cultivation by now, and she gently lifted the curtain to look at the young man outside.
