Chapter 41 Sorry? No thanks!
the next day.

"The team heading to Heping Town is leaving soon. There are only three spots left. Hurry up!"

"A great fighting master and five fighting masters are here to escort you. If you want to go to Canaan College to take the entrance exam, you are welcome to join us."

"..."

According to the information provided by the girl at the front desk, Hun Cang came to a corner of the city and was stunned when he saw the bustling scene.

There were dozens of teams, shouting loudly, with rows of carriages and waiting crowds behind them.

The crowd mostly consisted of middle-aged people and children, some carrying things in their hands or hugging things, their expressions showing nervousness and anticipation.

If he hadn't known it in advance, Hun Cang would have thought that this was the "Spring Festival Travel Season" in another world.

"Are you still short of people?" Hun Cang asked when he reached the team with the largest number of people. Heping Town was dozens of miles away from the city. It was not impossible for one person to go alone, but the target would be too conspicuous.

This time he came to Canaan College for the strange fire, Fallen Heart Flame, and he didn't want to be noticed by the people in the Soul Palace.

There is no way, since the cave of the ancient emperor Tushe is right below.

"We are just one person short. Do you want to go, young man?" The team leader was a middle-aged man who answered readily.

Hun Cang nodded and paid the money according to the other party's price.

Soon, a huge team set off, and Hun Cang sat in a carriage at the end.

The carriage was pulled by two magical beasts that looked like horses. The frame was very large and had five rows of seats, with four people sitting in each row.

"Is this a bus to another world?" Sitting in it, Hun Cang's body swayed as the wheels rolled on the uneven ground, and his eyes glanced around in astonishment.

Next to him sat a middle-aged couple, with smiles on their weathered faces. They kept explaining something to the plump boy sitting between them, mostly about the entrance examinations for Canaan College.

After leaving the city, there were more people riding horses and patrolling back and forth on both sides of the carriage.

The passengers in the car talked much less, and their expressions were covered with a layer of alertness and worry. Hun Cang remained calm and admired the scenery around him.

Every year when Canaan College recruits students, many parents in the Black Horn Region choose to send their children to participate in the hope that their children can be admitted.

After all, Canaan Academy is safer than Black Horn Region, and staying there can reduce their worries.

At the same time, some people will also focus on the middle section of the journey.

This gave rise to the current type of team, which transports people to Heping Town in the form of a convoy in exchange for some money.

The convoy set out in the morning and arrived at a mountainside around noon.

"Everyone, take a rest here for a while..." The team leader asked everyone to get off the car. He turned his head and saw Hun Cang standing on the frame, so he walked over.

In the distance, there are two majestic mountains standing in a corner, and at the angle, a small town can be seen vaguely.

"That's Heping Town, where we're going." The team leader said, standing next to Hun Cang.

Hun Cang hummed and said nothing.

"Young man, you look so young, you are also going to take part in the entrance examination of Canaan College, right? Why are you alone? Where are your parents? Aren't they worried?" The team leader was quite talkative.

Looking at the entire team, any young-looking child is followed by at least one middle-aged or middle-aged person.

"No, he is my neighbor and we are together." Just as Hundang was pondering, a middle-aged strong man suddenly came over and looked at the leader with a serious expression.

Then he blocked the leader's sight and gave Hun Cang a wink.

Hun Cang actually didn’t know him, but he didn’t want to be bothered, so he nodded.

The leader saw this, smiled awkwardly and turned away. The strong man looked around and said in a low voice: "Little brother, I heard that some teams will steal from the inside and will target a single person. If you don't have a companion, sit with us."

As he spoke, he glanced a few steps away, where a woman and a young man were sitting. When they saw the strong man's gaze coming over, they smiled and waved.

"No need." Hun Cang glanced at the three people, narrowed his eyes slightly, and shook his head to refuse.

As soon as he finished speaking, the sturdy man grabbed his arm and dragged Hun Cang towards the mother and son without saying anything, saying, "Don't move, the leader is still watching here."

Hun Cang glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and found that the strong man was indeed not lying.

When they came to the family of three and sat down, probably because they saw that Hun Cang was alone, they seemed very enthusiastic and gave some of the dry food they brought to Hun Cang.

"No." Looking at a few steamed buns and a piece of fragrant meat, Hun Cang refused with a smile.

The sturdy man came over, looking into the distance, and said, "Young man, you'd better eat something, otherwise I think the leader won't believe it and will come looking for you later."

"Yes, young man. We are less than halfway to Heping Town. Try to minimize the trouble." The woman also advised.

"Brother, these steamed buns and meat pieces are all made by my mother. They are delicious. You should try them." The boy said with an innocent smile, his mouth full of oil.

Being stared at by the three people with expectant eyes, Hun Cang sighed helplessly in his heart and had to pick up the food and slowly eat.

Other children nearby looked over but were sternly rebuked by their parents.

After Hun Cang ate their food, the team leader seemed to really believe that the two sides were neighbors, and finally stopped looking in this direction.

The family of three was enthusiastic and generous, and shared with Hun Cang some of the things they knew about the tests at Canaan College.

Not long after, the team continued to move forward. The three of them took the initiative to change seats and sat in a row with Hun Cang. The sturdy man glared back at the team leader several times when he glanced at him.

As time slowly approached evening, the dimly visible town became clearer and the sounds of the convoy's conversation gradually resumed.

Hun Cang kept his eyes closed, his brows slightly furrowed, and he seemed drowsy.

At this moment, the boy sitting next to him saw a butterfly flying by, and excitedly reached out to catch it, but ended up falling off the carriage.

At the critical moment, he grabbed Hun Cang's clothes and brought him out.

The noise caused some commotion in the back row.

"You go to Heping Town first, I'll be there soon." The leader asked the team to continue moving forward and drove his horse to the end.

A look of helplessness flashed across Hun Cang's face, and he helped the other person land steadily on the ground. The middle-aged couple jumped off the carriage with a worried look on their faces.

The sturdy man angrily asked: "What are you crazy about, little bastard?"

The woman said with an unhappy look on her face: "Hurry up and apologize to the young man. We are almost there, and you are still messing around!"

The boy lowered his head, tears in his eyes, and said, "I'm sorry."

"No need for that. Save this for those people you killed." Hun Cang looked at the three people, the convoy that was gradually going away, and the team leader who was riding his horse quickly towards them with a smile.

"Did you find out?" The faces of the family of three suddenly changed, and then they showed ferocious looks.

Tears were still in the boy's eyes, and he pulled out a dagger from his back: "Do it!"

Armor appeared on the three people's bodies. The team leader also noticed it, jumped up from his horse, and rushed over quickly. The four of them pounced on Hun Cang together.

A few breaths later, Hun Cang mounted his horse and headed towards Heping Town. The heat in the air behind him was being blown away by the wind.
