“Then…” Aleta tried to pry about Chu Nan’s current strength. “Right now… you…”

“Sigh! I’m currently not even at Heaven Realm level.” Chu Nan skillfully dodged the question. He only mentioned that he was not in Heaven Realm, while keeping a mystery about his current strength. If it was found out in the future that he wasn’t even at Earth Realm, he would be able to give a good explanation based on the fact that he had not specified his current realm. Right now, it would be best if he could maintain his facade as an expert as long as possible.

“Ohhh~~”

The barbarians and druids understandably nodded their heads one after another. However, there were no traces of contempt in their eyes directed towards Chu Nan. On the contrary, their gaze revealed even more worship.

A human, a Heaven Realm expert human who could have enjoyed the best life had to offer. But for the sake of skill inheritance of races that were not even his own, he had fought against numerous Heaven Realm experts. What a noble sentiment he had!

A saint. Only a genuine saint would have such sentiments!

“Sigh!” Chu Nan sighed, attracting their attention.

“There are many warriors here with potential.” Chu Nan shook his head. “It’s a pity that I have to find a way to undo my seal and I am unable to stay here for long. Otherwise, I would honestly wish to impart more battle skill inheritance to your races.”

Chu Nan spoke with words ladened with cheap sincerity, but the majority of druids and barbarians were still deeply moved.

He coughed, then stood up and spoke to Shanz. “The starry night tonight will be a conducive teaching environment. Follow me. I’ll teach you , you can consider it as a gift before I leave.”

Shanz moved his huge body and followed Chu Nan to one side. With a large guy around, Chu Nan was not afraid of any wild beasts’ attacking him.

Elder Alfred looked at Chu Nan’s departing back and his eyes revealed a strange glint.

The party continued into the middle of the night until the drunk barbarians and druids finally settled to rest.

When Chu Nan walked out of the bush and returned to his room, he suddenly saw Elder Alfred seated on his bed with an extremely warm smile.

Chu Nan momentarily blanked out and subciously took a step back. It was hard not to be doubtful of the old druid’s sexual orientation when he suddenly appeared on his bed with a somewhat strange smile on his face in a dark and windy night.

“Elder, why are you here?” Chu Nan calmly asked after a few seconds.

“Mr. Chu Nan.” Elder Alfred stood up and said, “I had heard what you previously said. It seems like you are about to leave our village.”

“You’re right.” Chu Nan shrugged his shoulders and nodded. “I can’t possibly stay here forever. I need to find a way to undo the seal placed on me.”

“So it’s like this…”

“Yea…”

Chu Nan walked into his room and sat down on his chair with a helpless expression. He found out through the past few days of research that if he wanted to train his magic or fighting skills, the energies would first have to be gathered in the energy sources.

Even though he knew the best option would be to hide in the forest and increase his strength before leaving, how was he supposed to fill up ninety-nine energy sources in the shortest period of time? In the skill books he possessed, there was no information about that aspect.

He might not even be able to find ninety-nine energy sources if he spent his whole life in the Heaven Forest. However, there might just be information related to energy sources in the outside world.

“Then…” Elder Alfred paused for a moment and asked, “Are you intending to leave alone?”

“That’s right.” Chu Nan smiled and said, “I came here alone, so naturally I’ll be leaving alone as well.”

“Don’t you require someone to serve you?” Elder Alfred was a little anxious. “Having to personally do everything as a Heaven Realm expert, wouldn’t that be something beneath your status in the outside world?”

“The outside world…” Chu Nan mocked himself. “Elder, I was adopted by two Heaven Realm experts from a young age, and I only went out to experience life when I was at level 9 of Heaven Realm. However, before I could experience how the outside world operated I encountered that fierce fight and so, I don’t understand the outside world at all.”

“Is that so? Then that’s easy!” Elder Alfred happily said.

“What? What’s easy?” Chu Nan blanked out.

“Oh, it’s nothing. It’s really nothing.” After he quickly brushed the matter off, he continued to speak while gently smiling. “In fact, Heaven Realm experts are existences with important status and according to the outside world’s customs, you should have at least one to two attendants by your side in charge of your daily food and accommodation. Otherwise, you would be looked down upon by others.”

“There’s still something like that?” Chu Nan propped his chin with his hand. At that moment, he already knew that the ‘kindhearted’ elder druid was lying to him. As for the reason? It seemed like he wanted to have someone follow him so that they could learn about other druid skill inheritance.

That’s perfect! Since we are on the same page, then let us deceive each other! In any case, I don’t lose out! Chu Nan secretly smiled in his heart, yet he revealed a vexed expression. “However, I don’t have any followers… Sigh! This is a difficult problem.”

Noticing his conundrum, Elder Alfred hastily said, “Mr. Chu Nan, you have saved our village and resolved the age-long grudge between us and the barbarians. Moreover, you had even imparted us our battle skill inheritance. You have shown tremendous kindness to our village and in order to repay your kindness, we are willing to send two druids to be your entourage. I wonder if you would be fine with such arrangements?”

Chu Nan pretended to be nice and asked, “Oh? Wouldn’t that be too much of a hassle for your village?”

“No trouble, there’s no trouble at all.” Elder Alfred quickly denied and for fear that Chu Nan would bring up any excuse, he quickly continued, “Moreover, you’re not familiar with the Heaven Forest. Even though you are extremely powerful, if you were to lose your way in the forest and encounter any tyrannical beasts… it would still be a rather troublesome thing.”

“What you are saying is reasonable.” Chu Nan nodded with a serious expression.
