Chapter 37：Helping (1/2)

Alex was surprised to see it was the same two girls he met yesterday.

'Fellow Daoist? Is that what the cultivators call each other?' he wondered. He decided to reciprocate the greeting.

”It's good to see you once more, Fellow Daoist. I don't really think fate has to do anything with us meeting again,” he tried to make small talk.

”Oh. Are you trying to imply that you met us here on purpose then, Fellow Daoist?” she asked with a smirk. She knew the answer, but still decided to tease him.

Alex's face changed to a brighter shade of red. ”Of course not, It was just a random meeting. I just came here because I heard a sound.”

”Haha, you don't need to defend yourself, Fellow Daoist. I was just joking.” Her laughter made her look even more beautiful.

Alex looked a little hurt. ”I shall take my leave then.” He said as he started to turn around.

”Wait a minute, fellow Daoist.” She called from behind.

”Since we met each other, why don't we hunt together?” she tried to invite him to the group.

Alex was surprised. 'Why would she want me to join? I'm the weakest one here and am not even that strong-looking. There must be some other reason.'

”If you want something, you should just ask it, Fellow Daoist.” He tried to figure out what she wanted.

”Quite a sharp one, aren't you? Yes, to be honest, fellow Daoist, we do require something.” She said as she sighed a little.

”Senior sister, you shouldn't. It's risky to tell him.” The girl in the back spoke for the first time tonight. She was about to talk some more when she was interrupted by the other girl's hand gesture.

”I think we should introduce ourselves first. I am Luo Mei, and this is Meng Yun. We are disciples of the Tiger Sect.” The girl introduced both herself and the girl at the back.

”I am Yu Ming. I am a disciple of the Hong Wu Sect.” He decided to introduce himself as well. ”So, you said you wanted something? If it's something I don't mind parting with, I can give it to you.” He said. He was slightly worried they might just attack him, and take it away forcefully.

Luo Mei immediately corrected herself, ” Oh no. We don't want something you have. We just want your help in something.”

”Okay, what do you want my help in?” he asked.

”We are at our last leg, so we need the help of an alchemist like yourself. Please, follow us,” she said as she started walking in a certain direction.

Along the way, Alex stopped a bunch of times to collect the alchemy ingredients he found. The two ladies were very surprised when they saw him pick so many things.
