Chapter 2854
Witnessing the commotion, the two clansmen who had closely followed Watt sprang into action, rushing forward to subdue him!
“Mr. Chen, I hope I didn’t make you laugh too much,” Wajang admitted with a hint of embarrassment after they managed to control Watt. He then waved his hand, instructing, “Take him away ……”
Shortly after, Watt was escorted out of the courtyard!
“Help! Help! There’s a fight! Someone’s beating me ……”
As Watt exited, he spotted the guards positioned not far from the entrance and shouted urgently!
Upon noticing the Jialing County guards, Wajang’s expression shifted dramatically. He turned to the two clansmen and said, “You will take him back while I stay here to face the consequences from Jialing County.”
The two clansmen nodded, maintaining their hold on Watt as they proceeded on their path!
“Don’t worry, everything will be alright; let’s go ……” Kai reassured Watt with a smile, giving his shoulder a friendly pat!
Wajang, though puzzled by Kai’s words, decided to follow him as they continued onward!
“Save me! Save me …………”
As they passed the guards, Watt cried out desperately, clinging to the hope of rescue!
Meanwhile, Watt was tense, prepared to approach the guards and explain his situation!
However, a peculiar scene unfolded: the guards, hearing Watt’s cries, seemed to ignore him completely, turning their heads away as if they hadn’t heard a thing!
The guards gazed at him, their expressions filled with disbelief!
Even as they distanced themselves, the guards made no move to pursue them!
“What’s going on with those guards today?” Watt exclaimed, confusion plastered across his face!
“Didn’t I tell you? With me around, everything will be fine,” Kai replied with a subtle smile!
In that moment, Wajang recalled Kai’s earlier statement and suddenly realized that the guards’ indifference stemmed from Kai’s presence!
This revelation left Wajang staring at Kai in astonishment; he couldn’t fathom why the guards in Jialing County would be intimidated by Kai!
Wajang was aware that Kai was only at the second rank of the Harmonious Body realm, even lower than the guards stationed at the gates!
So why would they fear him?
If it wasn’t due to physical strength, then it must be linked to his status!
Realizing this, Wajang took a sharp breath, struggling to comprehend the level of status Kai must possess, enabling him to navigate Jialing County so effortlessly, bending the rules without consequence!
At that moment, a guard from Jialing County hurried over, approaching Kai with a respectful demeanor. “Mr. Chen, you may exit through the north gate ……”
“Alright!” Kai nodded in acknowledgment!
After saluting, the guard promptly turned and left!
Kai understood that this was likely due to Lord Yan’s inquiries and the absence of Thunder Eagle King at the North Gate, allowing him to exit Jialing County without any hindrance!
Wajang, witnessing the guard’s respectful treatment of Kai, became even more convinced that Kai’s identity was indeed extraordinary!
The group made their way out of Jialing County through the North Gate.
“Mr. Chen, where do you intend to go?” Wajang asked Kai once they were outside the city.
“I plan to head to the Far North in search of treasures. To be honest, I acquired a copy of the treasure map your brother is selling,” Kai replied candidly!
“You’re looking for treasure? That’s fantastic! We’re heading the same way, and I’m quite familiar with the Far North,” Wajang exclaimed enthusiastically!
“I might even be able to assist you in your treasure hunt!”
Wajang’s face lit up with excitement as he spoke!
Kai felt a bit awkward at this, realizing he was effectively trying to unearth treasures linked to Wajang’s ancestors and asking for his help, which felt somewhat inappropriate.
“Wajang, wouldn’t it upset you guys if someone were to dig up the treasure of your Ancient Body Refining Clan?”
“Shouldn’t you all want to search for the treasure yourselves and unearth it?”
Kai questioned in disbelief!
