3 Cave of Old (1/2)

True to their statuses as young masters of their family they had their own bodyguards.

It was not an army, a mercenary organization or hired assassins. It was just a group of old men that were located in front of their carriage.

They solved any problems that appeared along their trip but they also had their own special statuses. Many great families well have many heirs so as generations increase there would obviously be many experts in their clans.

Although they are bodyguards they only have one mission: to guide these children.

Currently throughout their journey there have been no problems and they're close to their destination. It wasn't very far and the trip would approximately last a few days to get to the location that they're looking for.

With a great clan behind them they not only have resources that help them cultivate but they also have services that allow for more convenience.

Be it a large library collecting knowledge or special rooms to provide significant help for any hidden potential a great family would usually make this available for all members.

They used the world's cultivation levels, from lowest to highest: Body Tempering, Qi Gathering, Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, Core Refiner, Nascent Soul, Spiritual Transformation, Void Shattering and Ascension. Along with a number from 1-9 to locate their current strength, the higher the number meant that a person was closer to the next stage.

With the heritage as well as the resources the children had available to them they would be considered to be the kings of their generation as they were all currently at Qi Condensation 3 with only a few attaining greater strength than theirs.

Dean was still lost in thought but was immediately interrupted

*Smack*

Rose gave a light peck on Dean's cheeks and lightly chuckled.

Dean bashfully told her ”knock it off” before rubbing his cheeks of where she kissed.

It made him feel that Rose was a sister that knew no boundaries and continued to do weird things but he found those eccentric things interesting and accepted them with shyness.

Suddenly they found their carriage to have stopped moving

Pierre questioned with interest ”What do you think happened?”

everyone started voicing out their thoughts without thinking appropriately

Christian: ”A Bandit?”

Dean: ”A friend?”

Ayesha: ”...”

Ivan”A seducing master?”

Anne”...”

Rose: ”Did we drop something?”

Despite their wonders they didn't dare to open the door unless they wished to invite themselves a scolding from their elders.

The last time it happened an arrow was caught by one of the elders while Dean commented ”Cool magic trick”

He later received a hit on the head by his senior.

Christian's guess was the most accurate as it was a group of people that were bandits and not just a singular one.

One of the bandits approached the carriage and knocked the door by kicking it multiple times ”To pass our mountain pay the fee”

”3 silver coins to pass”

No one answered from the caravan but the low voice could be heard by everyone except for the kids in the carriage.

”So arrogant...in our territory?....deal with it yourself”

The bandits were in a state of confusion but properly analyzing the words they became infuriated and prepared to break apart the carriage

Before he could he tripped.

It was odd as he never took a step forward or slipped on something so the bandit felt confused. He felt a wave of pain take over him to witness the sight of his two legs missing anything below his knee.

Before the others could react everything went quiet.

The vulture's chirping could be heard as they gathered close to the carriage and began having their feast
