With his eyes closed, Luo Cheng quickly transferred the medicinal power of the pill to his entire body. He no longer felt as weak as before.
At this moment, Luo Cheng could no longer sleep.
It turned out that the weakness after using empathic powers was so uncomfortable.
Even as a martial artist, he felt it so strongly. He wondered if the feeling his wife felt every time she was weak was even stronger.
At this moment, Luo Cheng really felt sorry for Li Xiaoran.
He had only experienced this once, but his wife, Li Xiaoran, had experienced it many times.
And did empathic abilities really only bring benefits?
If other people’s emotions were so strong that they resonated with others, the impact of that emotion would definitely be huge.
Then how did his wife calm these emotions and keep herself from going crazy?
At that moment, there was a commotion outside the cave.
Luo Cheng and Zi Cheng both heard the commotion. They looked at each other and moved.
Luo Cheng quickly extinguished the fire and hid in the dark near the entrance to the cave. Zi Cheng shook Zi Zheng awake and gestured for him to keep quiet. He hid in another place.
Before long, a figure crept in from the cave entrance.
At this moment, the sword in Luo Cheng’s hand slashed at the figure.
The figure was also very vigilant. He dodged and shouted, “Who are you? You actually hid in the dark to hurt people!”
When Luo Cheng heard this voice, he found it familiar and suddenly thought of something.
“Old beggar!”
When the figure heard Luo Cheng’s words, his hand that was about to counterattack stopped and he asked tentatively.
“Luo Cheng?”
“It’s really you, old beggar!” Luo Cheng was completely sure that it was an acquaintance.
When Zi Cheng and Zi Zheng heard this conversation, they quickly took out a match and lit the fire in the cave again.
The fire lit up the cave. The four of them were sitting around now, talking as they boiled water.
“You disappeared for several years. Why did you appear in this deep mountain forest today?” Luo Cheng looked at him and asked.
“Why do you care? Didn’t you appear in the deep mountains in the middle of the night?” The old beggar asked.
Luo Cheng immediately laughed when he heard this.
“Hey, you know how to smile now!” With that, the old beggar looked at Ziyang and Zizheng. “Did you see that? This kid knows how to smile!”
a surprise! Ever since our young master married his wife, he has been smiling more and more!” Zizheng said with a sense of accomplishment.
When the old beggar heard Zi Cheng’s words, he couldn’t believe it, so he tilted his body towards Zi Cheng and asked, “Is he telling the truth?”
Zi Cheng smiled and nodded. “It’s true!”
Luo Cheng watched the old beggar ask around for verification with a smile on his face.
“Alright, beggar, seriously, why are you here?”
When the old beggar heard Luo Cheng’s words, he sat up straight and sighed. “Sigh, I’ve been unlucky recently. I don’t know which immortal I offended, but I was chased everywhere! I had no choice but to hide in the deep mountains and forests. Who knew that I would meet you here?!”
When Luo Cheng heard this, he looked at the old beggar with a faint smile. He didn’t believe his nonsense at all.
“Tell me the truth. Don’t beat around the bush in front of me!”
When the old beggar heard Luo Cheng’s words, he met his eyes again, then lowered his eyes.
“Forget it, forget it. I knew I couldn’t hide it from you! I just wanted to ask if
Zhu Lan Kingdom’s national treasure is in your hands.”
Luo Cheng sneered when he heard the old beggar’s words.
“I really didn’t expect you to get involved in this mess!”
“Luo Cheng, you should know what having the national treasure of Zhu Lan Kingdom means. If this thing is really in your hands, you should return it quickly!” The old beggar’s expression changed and he became serious.
“Old beggar, let me ask you, where did you get this news? Has this news already spread throughout the martial world?” Luo Cheng questioned bluntly.
“I’m not sure if the people in the martial world know. I just heard that you have the national treasure of Zhu Lan Kingdom, so I followed someone else’s trail!” The old beggar didn’t hide anything and told him about the information he had obtained.
“Do you really think you can protect those national treasures? Also, we’ve known each other for so many years. Do you think I’m the kind of person who doesn’t care about the lives of the commoners?” Luo Cheng questioned. The old beggar froze for a moment, then understood something.
“What exactly is going on? Tell me.”
“I can’t explain it to you. Since you’re here, come with us! After this matter is over, come back with me for a drink! It just so happens that I’m going home to get married after this trip!” Luo Cheng didn’t plan to tell him everything. After all, this was a serious matter. The fewer people who knew, the less danger there would be.
It wasn’t that Luo Cheng didn’t trust the old beggar, but he couldn’t trust anyone now.
The old beggar froze when he heard Luo Cheng’s words, then thought for a long time.
“Luo Cheng, you’re the most loyal person I know. I believe you won’t mess around! Since you want me to follow you, I’ll follow you!”
With that, the old beggar found a corner in the cave and curled up.
“I’m relieved to find you. It’s still early, so let’s rest!” the old beggar said as he fell asleep.
Luo Cheng looked at Zi Zheng and Zi Cheng and gestured for them to rest first.
“Young Master, go and rest! I slept for a long time just now. I should get up and change shifts to keep watch!”
Because of the previous dream, he was indeed a little tired now. Without hesitation, he lay down and continued sleeping.
The next morning was also a sunny day in the mountains.
Because the old beggar had come last night and made a fuss, everyone woke up very late this morning.
When Luo Cheng woke up again, it was already noon.
Zi Cheng fetched some water and put the flatbread in. Then, he put in some wild chicken they had hunted previously.
For convenience’s sake, these wild chickens were cooked and carried with them. Therefore, when eating, they just had to tear them into strips and cook them in the soup.
“What’s that smell? It smells so good!” The old beggar woke up and asked when he smelled the aroma..
