Chapter 431 - Remember What You Never Learned (1/2)

Alex and Luo Mei along with Meng Yun were seated around the middle of the moving merchant caravan.

The caravan belonged to Heaven's Path merchant group, the 2nd richest merchant group in the whole empire, only behind the official royal merchant group called the Royal Fu merchant group.

”Don't worry sect leader Wen, I have other cultivators employed as well. They will certainly not be in any trouble,” said a man from behind Wen Cheng.

He was Zhang Xie, the current head merchant of the caravan, nephew to the owner of the merchant group.

”Thank you, brother Zhang. I will leave these kids in your care,” Wen Cheng.

”Haha, don't worry about them, sect Leader Wen. They are old enough to take care of themselves,” Zhang Xie said as he chuckled a bit.

Wen Cheng still couldn't help but worry.

”We'll be fine, master. I will take care of senior sister,” Alex said.

”Alright, Good. Take care on your journey, I will tell Ma Rong about this later,” Wen Cheng said. ”Sigh, she's going to get angry for sure.”

”Well… I will leave that to you, master,” Alex said with a chuckle.

”Remember, I have only marked you absent for 15 days. If not, I will have problems of my own in the sect,” Wen Cheng said.

”Since you will reach Rubyroad city by Sunday morning, the merchants may stay there until the next Friday. Remember to get back by that time,” Wen Cheng said.

”We understand, master,” Alex said.

The caravan started moving and soon they were on the way out of the western gate of the Scarlet City. There were cities to the west, but none were big enough for the caravan to stop.

They tirelessly walked day and night until they reached Rubyroad city in 2 days. Alex was happy that he wouldn't need to wait a very long time to reach the destination, unlike last time.

He looked out of the window of the carriage he was in and looked behind them at the Scarlet City that was moving further and further away from them.

The city gates barely managed to block the sun that was rising from the east as well.

”Well, I guess I will be gone for a week now,” he thought.

He put his neck back inside and looked at the two ladies with him.

Meng Yun had changed in a simple commoner's clothes. Alex remembered seeing similar clothes worn by the servants back in the City Lord's manor.

Luo Mei on the other hand still was wearing the Tiger Sect's yellow robes, similar to Alex, and had her head down with a blank expression on her face.

He always remembered seeing his senior sister with a warm smile, or in some cases anger too, but never nothing. This made him feel a little sad for her.

”Are you okay, sister? Are you comfortable?” he asked.

”I'm… I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me. I'm just lost in thought,” Luo Mei said.

”Don't worry, young miss. I'm sure the master is fine,” Meng Yun said. Now that she was out of the sect, she had started addressing Luo Mei how she originally did.

Luo Mei did nothing to correct her, so Alex believed that she was used to it.

Alex tried to speak a few times on different occasions, but Luo Mei didn't seem like she wanted to participate in any conversation, so he stopped.

Instead, he decided to focus on understanding what medical knowledge he gained the other day.

He quickly sat down cross-legged and started understanding the information he had. For some reason, it was incredibly easy to learn, despite him never learning any part of it before.

He would process the information from the memory and it would implant itself onto his brain like metal to a magnet.

'Is this because of my talent? Can't be. The formation information took way too long to comprehend, and I still need to understand it all. This on the other hand is coming to me like instinct,' he thought.

From what Alex could tell, if normal information was akin to writing on a blank piece of paper, then what was happening to him right now was akin to him ripping off the blank sheet of paper in different places and revealing the information that was already inside.

”Could it be…?” he wondered and kept learning the knowledge more and more. The more he tried to comprehend the knowledge, the more he realized how unnecessary it was.

As long as he even began to try and understand what he had read, information regarding the same subject would pop up in his brain.
