But there would eventually come a time when there were no more stones left to throw, and as Ye Luo tossed another stone, he was shocked to discover that he had run out of ammunition!

"Damn, no more stones!"

Ye Luo said, feeling somewhat dumbfounded, yet nobody dared to question him – only someone like Ye Luo could use stones to repel powerful adversaries!

"Use this instead!"

Suddenly, a jade arm stretched out from the carriage, holding a box in hand.

Ye Luo subconsciously caught the box, and as Wei Wei lifted the carriage curtain slightly, he caught a glimpse of the beauty inside the carriage with her stunning looks!

No wonder these men in black wanted to capture this lady, her beauty could indeed be described as nation-toppling!

Of course, now wasn’t the time for Ye Luo to be admiring beauties. Casually opening the wooden box, Ye Luo was stunned by its contents.

Isn’t this the Five Elements Ling Pearl?

Is there really a need to be so wasteful, using Five Elements Ling Pearls as projectiles?

Ye Luo remembered how much effort he had put into collecting these Five Elements Ling Pearls!

But Miss Nalan from the Nalan Family sure was wasteful; with a single gesture, she handed over a box full of Five Elements Ling Pearls, easily dozens of them!

This is truly what you call a true display of wealth!

Of course, realizing that this was the Martial Realm and not Earth, Ye Luo came to terms with it. It seems that viewing everything with the mindset from Earth would soon make him look like a country bumpkin to these people!

Ye Luo grabbed two Five Elements Ling Pearls and, without hesitation, hurled them at the men in black!

It’s really much more satisfying using Five Elements Ling Pearls than stones!

And once the Five Elements Ling Pearls were thrown, they created huge explosions. Three men in black were injured by the blasts, finally making them hesitant to continue their close pursuit.

"Hey, hey, the one driving the horses, can you speed up? My arm is getting sore from all this throwing, and if this goes on, it’s going to be useless!"

Seeing that the men in black weren’t following as closely anymore, Ye Luo sat down with a thump and addressed the white-clad guard.

Nalan Chen felt a flicker of irritation but then laughed after a moment.

Looking at Ye Luo, Nalan Chen really didn’t know what to say.

This guy gave him a very special feeling! To say he was an ordinary person? Who has ever seen an ordinary person able to repel cultivators with thrown stones?

To say he was a cultivator? This guy didn’t have a hint of spiritual power fluctuation, clearly not one!

Therefore, Nalan Chen really didn’t understand the situation at all!

Originally, he was escorting the young miss to the Stone Garden in search of some suitable materials!

The Stone Garden is the largest special stone market in Nan Zhou City; it’s said that with the right eye, finding any special stone material there wouldn’t be surprising.

The Nalan family clan was known for artifact refining and construction, so naturally, they were always on the hunt for stone materials.

However, they never expected that this time, even before they reached the Stone Garden, they would be intercepted by those men in black!

Looking at Ye Luo holding the Five Elements Ling Pearls and occasionally glancing back, Nalan Chen asked with some confusion, "Young brother, where are you from? Judging by your attire, you’re not from Nan Zhou City!"

Ye Luo looked down at his clothes. This damned outfit now looked like a refugee’s, how could it reveal anything about him!

However, he really isn’t from Nan Zhou City, in fact, to put it accurately, he isn’t even from the Martial Realm!

At least, that’s what Ye Luo thinks in his heart!

"Right, I’m not from around here, it’s just that my master told me to travel far and wide, and to read extensive books, so I’m out traveling!"

This reason? Only Ye Luo could come up with such an excuse! 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

But Nalan Chen did not have the slightest doubt, believing that in the Martial Realm, both Martial Artists and scholars actually share one habit, which is to travel!

Although it’s not to say that every single person goes out to travel, indeed many choose to venture out to broaden their horizons!

After all, with the average lifespan of even ordinary people in the Martial Realm being seven to eight hundred years, traveling for a few decades is really nothing!

"So that’s the case, but you seem a bit in a tight spot!"

Nalan Chen said with a smile, though he didn’t spell it out directly, Ye Luo still understood his implication!

"Ever heard of budget traveling? Damn it, if I ever find the bastard who stole my wallet, I’ll beat him to death!"

Ye Luo was lying, but what else could he do at this moment!

He isn’t even from the Martial Realm, so what could he do? Following Nalan Chen’s words and responding might be the only choice for Ye Luo!

"Ha ha, what a spirit of budget traveling, lad! But do you really think it’s a good way to travel?"

Ye Luo frowned slightly, this guy is implying something!

"Speak your mind, no need to beat around the bush, I’m very good-natured, I generally don’t get mad!"

"Still dare to chase? Looking for death!"

Just a moment ago, Ye Luo was telling Nalan Chen he usually doesn’t get angry, but the next moment, he took a five-element stone and threw it directly at one of the Hei Yi men chasing after him.

If it wasn’t for the Hei Yi man’s quick reflexes, he might have been done for!

Nalan Chen shook his head, he really had never encountered someone like Ye Luo, but he also felt maybe Ye Luo wasn’t from Nan Zhou City, so he seemed like an oddity, without giving it much thought.

"Alright, what I mean is simple, since you’re currently out of funds, how about you come to the Nalan Family and work as a house servant for now? You’ve made a merit today by saving the young miss, and the Nalan Family will not treat you poorly. Although I, Nalan Chen, am not particularly talented, I’m the chief steward of the Nalan Family and will definitely take good care of you, what do you think?"

Is he trying to recruit me?

Ye Luo was slightly stunned, but truth to be told, Nalan Chen’s offer was something Ye Luo was willing to accept. As for the reason?

The reason is simple, Ye Luo has just arrived in the Martial Realm, and he doesn’t have a place to stay!

Others use the Martial Dao Order tokens to ascend to the Martial Realm and will be received by a power, thus avoiding many unnecessary troubles. But Ye Luo is different; his arrival in the Martial Realm was purely accidental, as he was teleported here by Ao Long sacrificing nearly all of his Dragon Origin.

In the Martial Realm, Ye Luo had no one to rely on, only himself!

"Uh, what you said is indeed true, but is there a salary for working as a house servant?"

"Ha ha, lad, what do you take my Nalan Family for? Of course, you won’t be left without a salary, and furthermore, if you perform well, the Nalan Family will even finance a house and a car for you, ensuring you don’t worry about food and clothes!"

Hearing Ye Luo ask this way, Nalan Chen knew that Ye Luo had already agreed.

Therefore, he was very happy in his heart.

The young miss was in the carriage, and Nalan Chen believed that the young miss would definitely not reject his suggestion.
