Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1185: Chapter 401: The Supply Convoy, Ji Hong’s Impact, the Sociable Chen Yiqing, Arrival at Hongmen_6

”Chen Yu greets Brother Ji.”

”Chen Huang greets Brother Ji.”

”Chu Yan’er, greets Brother Ji!”

The remaining two men and one woman were of a similar age to Ji Hong, also in their early twenties. Their response was noticeably less enthusiastic than the four older individuals, merely cupping their hands in a slight bow to Ji Hong.

Seeing those three young people, all possessing only Earth-digging Realm cultivation, Ji Hong immediately lost interest and turned to Chen Yiqing, his expression somewhat peculiar.

He didn’t even know how he ended up talking to the other party so far; having just jumped down from the tree, he simply wanted the eight people to leave quickly. Yet, somehow, he got into a conversation with Chen Yiqing and even introduced himself.

”Brother Ji, don’t overthink, although Chen is of humble origin, I greatly love making friends from all walks of life. Seeing such a heroic youth, I couldn’t help but want to build a friendship, forgive my boldness...”

Hearing Chen Yiqing speak so sincerely, Ji Hong felt a bit embarrassed and hurriedly cupped his hands, ”Senior Chen, no need for that, Ji Hong in Great Xia is not someone of great importance, no need for such courtesy.”

Upon hearing this, the light in Chen Yiqing’s eyes grew even brighter, yet he quickly suppressed his emotions and continued sincerely, ”Not to hide from Brother Ji, Chen has come to Hongmen City, firstly to bring my brothers and juniors to broaden their horizons at the Treasure Tower, and also to buy some cultivation resources;

Secondly, hearing about the recent conflict between the Northern Three Towns and Great Xia, Chen knows Great Xia’s opening in Hongmen in July is immensely beneficial to our village-level camps. Though Guyang Village is weak, we also wish to contribute to Great Xia in some way.”

After hearing these words, Ji Hong’s heart immediately warmed with goodwill.

He could tell, although Chen Yiqing and his five companions had Cold Resistance Level cultivation, their strength shouldn’t be much beyond his own. Great Xia naturally doesn’t lack this kind of support.

The issue lies in their attitude, which greatly differs from those who just walked by the Bluestone Road, and the words of Chen Yiqing happened to resonate with him.

Great Xia’s opening brings such immense benefits to village-level camps like Chen Yiqing’s; he is the one who truly understands gratitude and repayment.

At the same time, Chen Yiqing finally posed his request.

”I have an impertinent request, would Brother Ji...”

”Senior Chen, please speak, if it’s not too troublesome, Ji Hong can agree!”

Chen Yiqing’s face immediately showed a trace of joy, excitedly saying, ”Chen is unfamiliar with Hongmen City and the Treasure Tower, if Brother Ji does not mind the trouble, could you be a guide for Chen?”

Just such a simple request?

Ji Hong raised his head to look at Chen Yiqing, his expression somewhat peculiar, but considering that it was indeed the first time the other came to Hongmen City, it wasn’t odd for him to make such a request. After pondering for a moment, he nodded, ”Alright, but Senior Chen, you must first enter Hongmen City, as I still have some matters to attend to here. How about I find you once I’m in the city?”

Those entering Hongmen City must register their information, and there are only a few places for outsiders to stay, making it easy for Ji Hong to find them.

Upon hearing Ji Hong’s reply, Chen Yiqing’s expression was incredibly grateful, ”Then thank you very much, Brother Ji.”

After speaking, he no longer lingered and swiftly led the remaining seven, cupping their hands to bid farewell to Ji Hong, heading toward the western direction of Hongmen City.

”Beishuo Town, Dongchuan jurisdiction, Guyang Village, this person is really quite familiar, but not highly skilled, including the four around him, judging from the movement of their Qi Muscle, they shouldn’t exceed ten bristles...”

Watching the backs of the departing eight people, Ji Hong shook his head slightly.

With such limited strength, if they had any ill intentions, he wouldn’t be afraid. Moreover, it’s merely a chance encounter, and their request wasn’t excessive; at most, he could guide them casually around the city.

”Those three young people’s strength is too weak; they’re about my age yet still in Earth-digging Realm, this Guyang Village must not be strong either.”
