Chen Fan trailed far behind the group.
He didn't act rashly, he simply followed.
This following lasted for another month.
No one discovered his presence, for at this moment, Chen Fan was just an ordinary person.
During this month, he personally witnessed what it meant to be high and mighty.
When these people passed by villages in the exiled land, everyone had to come out and prostrate themselves. Watching the group smile and leave, Chen Fan showed no reaction.
Although they acted very arrogantly, they didn't do anything too outrageous.
Thinking again, well… they probably just didn't care.
Another afternoon, the group took out food that looked extremely高级 to taste, and Chen Fan finally felt impatient.
His time was precious and could not be wasted any longer.
After pondering for a long time, Chen Fan finally made a decision.
Confirming the direction of the group's movement, Chen Fan finally utilized his spiritual energy and rapidly overtook them.
He stopped before a statue and sat down.
The wait was short.
The group reappeared in his sight.
The moment he spotted them, they also spotted him.
"Boom."
Rolling spiritual energy surged forth.
The group instantly sliced through the sky and appeared before Chen Fan.
"Get up."
A young man shouted.
After following them for several days, Chen Fan at least knew their names.
The one who spoke was named Guo Shaofei, a follower of Young Master Huo.
This group was led by Young Master Huo, who possessed half-step Supreme cultivation.
Facing the reprimand, Chen Fan did not get angry.
He had grown accustomed to it over these past few days.
He stood up, and a faint trace of spiritual energy leaked out.
"Spiritual energy?"
Young Master Huo's senses were extremely sharp. He instantly detected the fleeting spiritual energy. His pupils contracted, and he immediately became wary: "Who are you, why do you have spiritual energy on you, you are not a native of the exiled land."
Upon these words, the entire group became alert.
The appearance of someone with spiritual energy in this place was definitely unusual.
Young Master Huo already had a suspicion in his heart, and this suspicion made him tremble all over.
Until Chen Fan spoke: "A wanderer from the East Continent, who inadvertently stumbled into the exiled land."
The identity of a wanderer from the East Continent was also something he had heard from them.
So-called wanderers from the East Continent were similar to mercenaries on the wasteland, mercenaries, not assassins.
The wanderers of the East Continent were a very free organization, accepting any mission as long as the reward was sufficient.
Young Master Huo was clearly somewhat disappointed.
He had guessed wrong; this person was not from the wasteland.
What a pity.
Anyone who knew of the organization of wanderers from the East Continent was certainly not from the wasteland.
However, Young Master Huo did not fully trust him and asked in a cautious tone, "You claim to be a wanderer from the East Continent, do you have any proof?"
"No."
Chen Fan shook his head.
The organization of wanderers from the East Continent did not require any proof.
Today I can be a wanderer from the East Continent, and tomorrow I might be a retainer of a large family.
As long as you dare to take on a mission as a wanderer, you will not go back on your word. This is the golden signboard built by countless wanderers over countless years.
"What is your name?" Young Master Huo asked again.
Wanderers also had codenames.
Chen Fan did not respond immediately, but looked at Young Master Huo seriously: "I can tell you my codename, but you must take me out of the exiled land, otherwise, I will kill all of you."
His calm tone surprised the other party.
Chen Fan was too calm when he spoke of killing, as if it were as natural as drinking water.
"..."
Young Master Huo hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "Alright."
"My codename is Han Ye."
Han Ye.
This was also a name he had heard from them.
"What, you are Han Ye." Everyone was utterly shocked.
The name Han Ye was far too famous.
If Chen Fan had just casually said a codename, they might not have believed him, whether they had heard of it or not. But the name Han Ye, precisely because it was so renowned, caused little suspicion.
No one dared to use the name Han Ye to deceive others, although no one had ever seen Han Ye's appearance.
"You say, you... you are Han Ye..." Young Master Huo, a young master with a powerful background, also began to stammer.
Chen Fan said no more.
A master should have the demeanor of a master.
Whether they believed it or not.
In any case, these people had to take him out of the exiled land.
"Um..."
Jiang Lan, who was tall and slender, her eyes almost sparkling, asked timidly, "Are you really Mr. Han Ye?"
"..."
Silence was the best answer.
The atmosphere began to turn grim.
A potent killing intent seemed to spread through the area, originating from Chen Fan.
Young Master Huo felt a sense of mortal danger.
"Mr. Han Ye."
Fear of death is a basic human instinct.
Huo Shao also quickly said, "Since you are Mr. Han Ye, can I hire you?"
Chen Fan: "..."
Damn.
I just want to borrow a path out, does it have to be this troublesome?
It's simply unbearable.
But thinking about it again, forget it, consider it the travel fare.
"For what?" Chen Fan asked.
"To protect my safety," Young Master Huo said.
"...Yes."
Chen Fan nodded: "As for the price..."
"We will pay your highest rate," Young Master Huo said generously.
But Chen Fan shook his head: "You can't afford it."
"???"
I can't afford it?
Young Master Huo was a bit bewildered. Does he believe I can't afford it and will smash you with money?
Of course, these words could only swirl in his mind; he wouldn't dare to say them aloud.
"..."
Young Master Huo hesitated: "Dare to ask Mr. Han Ye..."
"Hmm?"
"I was wrong."
This apology caught Chen Fan completely off guard.
Such a distinguished young master, and he's like this.
"Let's go."
Chen Fan spoke imperiously: "You only have one day. I need to leave tomorrow. I have an unfinished mission, and then I fell into this place."
He said this because Chen Fan truly wanted to leave as soon as possible.
"Understood."
Young Master Huo dared not hesitate, nodding: "We'll search for another day, and if we can't find it by then, we'll leave."
...
The group set off again.
This time, with Chen Fan, also known as Mr. Han Ye, protecting them, the group became more relaxed.
Only Young Master Huo maintained his vigilance.
On the surface, no one would dare to impersonate Han Ye, but what about in secret?
Even the top wanderers from the East Continent were not feared by everyone.
What people feared most was Han Ye's mystery.
Day passed, and the group began to eat by a massive statue.
After becoming Supremes, one could completely survive by consuming spiritual energy from heaven and earth.
However, these people preferred the pleasures of the palate.
"Sizzle."
A ball of flame was ignited.
Then, something happened that made Chen Fan stare in disbelief.
These young people had even brought gas canisters. Was that too much?
While they were cooking, someone approached Chen Fan, bowed, their eyes full of adoration, and tentatively asked, "Senior Han Ye, could you give me an autograph?"
"Yes."
With that, he directly took the paper handed by the young girl and wrote the characters "Han Ye" on it.
"Brother, I'm sorry."
Chen Fan thanked this person in his heart.
Without this name, these tasks would have taken him three years to complete.
