As the group of people got closer and closer, Luo Hao also walked towards that direction.

"Who's in front?"

Luo Hao had only walked for less than a few hundred meters, and he had yet to clearly see who the other party was. At this time, a voice sounded from the crowd.

The sound was very powerful and deep, and the echo reverberated through the wasteland for a long time before dispersing.

This person was no ordinary person!

"Passersby."

Luo Hao was startled for a moment, and then immediately replied with a calm expression.

"From where?"

the man asked again.

"Green Vine Town."

Luo Hao replied after thinking for a while.

After that, the person in front of him did not speak, but only added a few soft words to his voice, as if he was discussing something.

Since he asked me where I came from, why didn't he ask me where I was going?

Luo Hao asked.

From the look of it, these people were definitely not ordinary people. Since they were not ordinary people, they would only care about where you came from and where you went.

Because for these people, once they knew where you came from, they could tell whether you were an enemy or a friend. As for the rest, it didn't matter.

Luo Hao's eyes were focused on the group of people in front of him who were enveloped by the red light of the setting sun. Suddenly, the sounds of discussion stopped, and the group of people slowly walked towards Luo Hao.

When he got closer, Luo Hao found that they were all riding horses, there were a total of around 30 people, half of them had cultivation above Soul Condensation Realm, there was a fine horse carriage in the middle of the horse carriage, from the looks of it, these people were most definitely from some cultivator clan or big clan.

"What's your name?"

Walking in front was a middle-aged man dressed in luxurious purple robes with a blood-red treasure sword at his waist. The man looked at the carriage behind and then rode a horse to Luo Hao's side and asked.

Luo Hao raised his head to look at the person who had just spoke.

"I am Luo Hao."

He cupped his hands.

The man nodded, seeing that Luo Hao was just an ordinary teenager, he lost his initial vigilance. Although his face did not show any expression, he did not take Luo Hao seriously, as though he was someone from a high place.

Of course, this kind of superiority didn't just mean that he was riding a horse.

The purple-clothed man rode his horse to the front of the carriage. At this time, the curtain at the side of the carriage was pulled open, and there was probably someone important inside.

Luo Hao looked up, and saw that the man was conversing with the man in the carriage in a low voice while the other dozens of guards were tightly protecting the carriage in the middle. The man in the carriage had a completely expressionless face, and all of them had a kind of innate arrogance, but no matter how these people pretended to be arrogant, they were unable to cover up the embarrassing situation of this group of people.

This was because Luo Hao realized that the clothes of most of these people were tattered, their boots were also extremely muddy, and there were even some blood stains on the horses.

Without even thinking, one could tell that these people had experienced a great battle.

Luo Hao shifted his gaze away from those people and returned to that gorgeous carriage once more. The old groom with slightly white hair at the sides of his temples closed his eyes, as if he was about to fall asleep.

After a while, the purple clothed man once again rode his horse to the front of the group, but the man did not even look at Luo Hao.

Just then, a lady dressed as a servant walked down from the carriage towards Luo Hao.

"My family's young lady said that you can follow us."

The servant girl coldly spat out a few words.

Luo Hao was startled, he was just here to ask for directions, he had never thought of following this passerby.

He hadn't thought that these people would think that he was here to seek refuge. After all, a great power like them was the backing that many people yearned for in their dreams.

As a result, they routinely included Luo Hao in their group.

Luo Hao wanted to reject her, but the servant didn't give him the chance, just as Luo Hao was in a daze, the servant had already stepped onto the carriage.

Luo Hao then turned his gaze back to the purple-clothed man, who remained silent as if he had never seen him before.

After a while, a guard walked over with a horse, and just as Luo Hao was hesitating, the purple robed man gave the order for the convoy to continue walking, which caused Luo Hao to follow the convoy, who had an uncertain path. Luo Hao did not know why, but it was probably because he did not feel that these people were bad people.

Sometimes it felt really important.

So, follow the feeling.

The wheels and hooves of the horses rapidly sped past the meadow and the hills. The group was getting further and further away from the lifeless wasteland.

Luo Hao rode on his horse at the very back of the procession. The entire road was very peaceful, only Luo Hao's gaze was still fixated on the horse carriage in front that was swaying continuously.

These guards who could only use their blank expressions all looked cold and heartless, but there was always an exception, such as Zao Chuan.

The guard who was called Zao Chuan was the youngest of the group, he was two years older than Luo Hao. His temperament was relatively straightforward, and along the way, only he was able to converse happily with Luo Hao.

According to Zao Chuan's introduction, their group came from the Xitang's Zhou Family. Their mission was to escort the Zhou Family's daughter, Zhou Xueying, back to the Xitang.

As Luo Hao gained more insight, he was indeed shocked.

He did not know about the situation in the Lingxiao Kingdom, but of course he did not know about the power of the Xitang's Zhou Family. Just from Zao Chuan's admiring expression and those Death Soldier like guards, they could tell that the Zhou Family was definitely not ordinary.

Just that, he did not know what kind of person that young miss Zhou was. Luo Hao then looked at the luxurious carriage in front of him.

The carriage's curtain was lifted by a corner, and the coachman seemed to never wake up. On the contrary, the several dozen guards were still in high spirits.

The mood of the youth at the end of the group was inexplicable.

The sky gradually darkened as they continued walking. The purple clothed man suddenly stopped and raised his hand, indicating for the team to stop setting up camp.

The place where they had set up camp was at the foot of a mountain. At the foot of the mountain was a small lake.

A few guards were gathering firewood at the foot of the mountain, and beside the lake, there was even a female servant who was washing the ingredients needed for dinner. It was the maidservant who spoke with Luo Hao earlier.

In the end, he simply laid on the lakeside and admired the moon. But no one said anything about it, or more accurately speaking, no one paid attention to him, and the only person who could speak, Zao Chuan, was also called over by the purple clothed man. It was unknown what they were talking about.

When Luo Hao looked at the busy figures of his back, he did not notice that a pair of eyes was looking at him.

However, Luo Hao's soul consciousness was extremely sensitive, and was discovered by Luo Hao after a while. Just as Luo Hao turned his head, the carriage's curtain had already been pulled down.

"I really want to meet with that miss."

It was unknown when the smoke from the cooking started drifting about, but a few spots of fire dispelled the darkness. The surface of the lake reflected a faint glow, and compared to the bustling crowd, there was only this small lake and the youth by the lake that no one was interested in.

At this time, the maidservant walked over.

His steps were light and slow.

As long as the other party was not an enemy, his manners had never been lacking. Even if the other party was just a servant, not to mention that she was not an ordinary person's servant. However, with his hands clasped in midair, Luo Hao was stunned for a moment, as he did not know what to say.

"Hello."

Luo Hao thought for a moment and could only spit out one word.

The woman smiled, but it was not a gentle smile. Perhaps it was because she felt that she was born with a noble character, but her smile also contained a bit of arrogance.

"Why do you look so stiff? I really don't know why Miss accepted you."

When the servant girl said this, she did not seem to have any emotions, nor did she have a strange tone of voice that was deliberately loud. It was very plain.

But notice that she said "take him in"?

Luo Hao was clear about the entire thing now, it turned out that the other party really considered him as a mountain villager who wanted to rely on the Zhou Clan.

However, Luo Hao did not know that the other party had another intention to take him away.

He was not angry, but he knew something about the Zhou Family from Zao Chuan. Although the Zhou Family was powerful, not everyone went all out to enter, at least Luo Hao did not.

It was a misunderstanding.

Since it was a misunderstanding, of course he had to explain it clearly.

"This sister."

Luo Hao laughed and said, but just as he said that, he was cut off by the lady.

"Who's your sister?"

The woman suddenly turned angry.

Luo Hao was a little embarrassed.

"My name is Ling'er."

Luo Hao: "Oh."

He then asked, "Miss Ling'er, may I see your young lady?"

Ling'er laughed coldly. That smile was truly extremely cold, like a lake. Furthermore, there was a hint of mockery in that smile.

"Do you think you can meet my family's Miss just because you want to?"

She used a rhetorical question tone, which more clearly reflected her ridicule towards Luo Hao, and her own anger.

"I just want to say a few words in front of your young lady."

Luo Hao wanted to explain the misunderstanding clearly, and asking him to stay was exactly the young miss's intention. Luo Hao felt that it would be better to explain it clearly to her.

Seeing Luo Hao's serious face, Ling'er could not help but feel that it was funny, but she would definitely not change her mind just because of Luo Hao's seriousness, instead she became even more angry.

Was he really stupid, or was he just ignorant?

"You really are ignorant."

En, it should be ignorance. Ling'er felt that this description was very appropriate.

Luo Hao was a little confused, just as he was about to speak, Ling'er became impatient and directly ignored him as he walked towards the carriage.

Luo Hao stood in place, at a loss of what to do. He had always had a very violent personality, but he didn't blame the rude Ling'er for it, only that he really didn't want to follow these people anymore. He had his own things to do, and only wanted to return to the Hongwu right now.

Furthermore, Luo Hao was not an idiot, he could tell from the beginning that these people were ambushed, although he did not know the reason, Luo Hao did not want to get into this muddy water.

Did he just leave without saying anything?

But wouldn't that be rude?

If even he felt that he was being rude, then it would be extremely rude to those people. If that was the case, would those people let him leave this place alive?

Besides, it was already deep in the sky, so it was a little inappropriate.
