" Let's continue, do you need anything, ms Ming? " Bruce asked flatteringly, walking closer to her but received no response from her.
" COUGH The next area we are going to is very famous because of the bandits that reside there, so be careful at all moments and since we have someone as beautiful as ms Ming with us, then those bandits are definitely going to make trouble for us. " Bruce said after an awkward cough.
' This guy, he won't miss a chance to try to flatter her, he must be pretty desperate. ' Jayden thought and looked at Jiggy who was hastily eating something.
Without wasting much time there they continued their journey again, just like the previous day, Bruce and Jiggy kept trying to talk to Hecate but she paid them no attention, nothing seemed out of the ordinary in their surroundings as they walked through the thick forest.
" Wait, someone is approaching us. " Bruce suddenly said and then looked in a direction to their right, Jayden had also sensed it but he stayed silent, it definitely was not a demon, within seconds they all heard the sound of wind being cut as a flying man appeared in front of all of them.
" N- No way, is he already in the 4th Order? How could he fly? " Jiggy said as they all stared at the floating old man with long white hair and beard, he was wearing a white hanfu and looked graceful.
There were quite a few wrinkles on his face, and both his hands were present behind his back as he looked at them from the sky as if he was looking at some lower life forms, and it was impossible for them all to check his actual strength.
" N- No way, from the 4th Order, I really can't sense h- his strength. " Bruce muttered with a terrified expression on his face.
As the four of them looked at the old man, he was also observing them at the same time, and when his eyes landed on Hecate he seemed surprised but then he acted as if everything was normal.
From Bruce's memories Jayden had seen that only people who had reached at least the 4th Order could fly in the air, that's why both of them immediately concluded that he is a top expert.
" I am Yash, as you have guessed I am in the 4th Order but don't worry I'm only here to catch a bandit group, state hour names and affiliations. " The old man said in a prideful tone.
" Ah... She is that special? Good for her, I guess, anyway Yash, we are leaving. " Jayden spoke with an indifferent expression, but the old man hastily stopped him saying:
" Wait, I don't want to miss such a great opportunity, I think she is the only person in the entire world with a blood line like that, Ming right? I have a great news for you. " He said and looked straight at her, his eyes were almost sparkling.
" What kind of news? " She asked, though she didn't seem interested at all in his words.
" How about you follow me and become my sole disciple? I'm sure that in no time you will be able to surpass me, what do you think? Do you want to follow me on my journey? I promise that you will become so strong that one wish from you will be enough to decide the future of everyone in this planet. "
The old man said, his words shocked Jiggy and Bruce, if it was them then they would have begged him to become his personal disciple or even slaves but Hecate was able to get this opportunity without even doing anything, they looked at her with slight jealousy in their gaze.
' She already is that strong. ' Jayden thought.
" Woah!! Ming is really special, I can't believe that I have been travelling with someone who has a Royal whatever bloodline. I think you shouldn't miss this opportunity and go with Yash to learn and travel all across the world. " Jayden said as he gave a small smile towards Hecate, then he added:
" Anyway, now that this matter is done let's leave, bye Ming it was nice meeting you. "
Jayden said and began to walk away, he patted the shoulders of both the men who looked at Hecate with sad eyes for a few seconds then they also turned around to leave along with him after saying their goodbyes.
