"Just now, that handsome guy took care of four or five people by himself?" After a while, the girl finally spoke to her boyfriend.
At that moment, the boy had already been shocked by the scene earlier, sitting in his seat without saying a word.
Just then, Lachlan came back after washing his hands outside. Seeing that the middle-aged men had already left, he wasn't surprised at all. To him, dealing with those people was just a trivial matter and not worth paying attention to. If they hadn't underestimated their abilities, he wouldn't have bothered with them at all.
"Big... big brother, please have a seat!" The young couple, seeing Lachlan return, clearly had a touch of fear in their eyes as they smiled and spoke to Lachlan.
Lachlan saw their expressions and understood that they must have been frightened by the earlier scene. He wanted to explain something, but shook his head and simply lay down on the bed. After all, they were just strangers who happened to meet, and there was no need for further interaction.
The train continued moving forward, and Lachlan's compartment remained unusually quiet. The middle-aged men who had left didn't return even after getting off the train.
It wasn't until the next morning, after Lachlan had a good sleep, that he saw the train gradually coming to a stop, reaching its destination, Merton City. He stretched lazily and muttered to himself, "Finally arrived. I should try to avoid taking trains in the future if I can. They really waste too much time."
Outside the train station, there was a sea of people. Lachlan greedily breathed in the fresh air outside. After entering the Broken Pulse Sect this time, he had no idea what he would face. An ancient martial sect... Lachlan felt a sense of curiosity welling up inside him.
Just as Lachlan was lost in his thoughts, he suddenly heard a light laughter from behind. Then an excited voice sounded, "Hey, sir, we meet again. Is this your first time in Merton?"
Turning around, Lachlan realized it was the family he had exchanged tickets with when they boarded the train. They had been very friendly, and Lachlan had a good impression of them.
"Yes, I've heard of the famous Horizon Mountain in Merton, and I wanted to come and see it this time," Lachlan replied, which was not entirely a lie. The territory of the Broken Pulse Sect was located deep within Horizon Mountain.
As soon as he finished speaking, the girl across from him suddenly brightened up and said to Lachlan, "What a coincidence! We're also going to Horizon Mountain! Would you like to go together? Horizon Mountain is near Westunity, and it will take some time to get there. We have relatives in Westunity, so we can guide you there."
The girl seemed to have a great liking for Lachlan and talked without stopping. Lachlan initially wanted to refuse, but seeing that the adults around her didn't object, he agreed. After all, he wasn't in a hurry, and it would be nice to have company on the journey. Moreover, Lachlan could sense that the girl's family... might also be cultivators. Interesting...
Upon hearing Lachlan's acceptance of her request, the girl cheered and reached out her hand to Lachlan, saying, "Sir, my name is Fiona Morrison. This is my dad, this is my mom..."
At this point, Lachlan suspected that Fiona's talkativeness wasn't because she had a liking for him, but rather because she might naturally be a chatterbox. After introducing everyone behind her, Fiona looked up and asked Lachlan, "Sir, what's your name?"
"I'm Lachlan Wills!"
Lachlan chuckled lightly; he couldn't bring himself to dislike this naive girl. If Nora grew up, she would probably be just like her.
"Hehe, Mr. Willis, don't mind her," Fiona's father said.
"My daughter spends too much time cooped up at home, so she's excited to be out for a trip."
"If you don't want to, you could leave first."
Just then, a middle-aged man approached Lachlan and smiled at him.
Lachlan exchanged a few polite words with the man.
They were also heading to Horizon Mountain, and they were cultivators too!
Could it be that they were also going to the Broken Pulse Sect? Lachlan couldn't help but speculate.
With this in mind, Lachlan smiled and said, "It's no problem, I'm alone anyway."
"We can travel together, and it's nice to have company."
After hearing Lachlan's words, Fiona's excitement grew even stronger, and she immediately took Lachlan's hand and walked forward.
