Chapter 13: The Legendary Wizard Sage

"Where are you going?" The old man asked while staring at Claire without blinking.

Claire stayed silent. The old man leaned on the horse, unwilling to move.

"To Gale Gorge." After a long time, Claire finally replied lightly.

"Aiya, this is such a coincidence. I am also going there. As your compensation for bumping into me, let’s go together. You guys are young and strong, so it’s not unreasonable to ask you guys to protect such a frail, old man like me." The old man deviously looked at Claire’s bosom.

This old man isn’t simple. Not only does he have such a thick face, he is also perverted! Claire looked at the old man’s devious gaze, confirming her suspicions.

"We only have two horses. I’ll hire a carriage for you then." Claire didn’t want to tangle up with this annoying, perverted old man, so she said this decision.

"Oh, that won’t do. It’s so far away, no carriage would be willing to go there. And do you think those coachmen, who run faster than horses in times of danger, could protect a frail old man like me?" The old man obviously planned on not letting Claire go and shamelessly said these words. A coachman can run faster than a horse? He had the face to say that?!

Jean looked at the old man’s crafty eyes and felt puzzled. This old man seemed very familiar, but who was he? Although he had definitely met him before, for the time being he couldn’t figure out where.

"Then, what do you want?" Claire frowned. It seems like this old man has made up his mind to follow them. Although his intent isn’t clear yet, one thing could be sure: this old man didn’t mean any harm.

Jean searched thoroughly in his brain for information on this old man, and all of a sudden, Jean’s eyes widened. It’s him! It’s actually him! His whereabouts were always erratic, so what a surprise to encounter him here! But why was he obsessed with Claire? Jean didn’t understand, couldn’t figure it out. But if they could keep him with them throughout this trip, the word "danger" virtually wouldn’t exist!

Not waiting for Claire to speak, Jean hurriedly said, "Sure, senior, I’ll immediately buy a quality horse for you, please wait a bit."

Jean’s sudden change in behavior let Claire understand he had figured out something. If so, she would just watch and see what happens.

Jean bought a horse very quickly and the old man nimbly flipped onto the horse. And he called himself a weak, frail, old man?

And so the three left the capital city gates.

The early morning air was refreshing, and birds flew around chattering. Tall, emerald-green trees stood on both sides of the road, with crystal clear dewdrops hanging from the leaves.

"What’s your name? Little beauty." The old man started to chat cheekily the whole time. The names he called Claire were also very strange.

"Claire." Claire replied without much thought.

"Oh? Claire? Hmm, very good very good. How old are you then?" The old man’s gaze flitted to Claire’s bosom furtively. He thought to himself, this girl can’t be too old, but she’s developing pretty well, heehee.

"Why should I tell you?" Claire threw back coldly.

But, a sliver of worry appeared in Jean’s eyes. You simply couldn’t afford to make this person unhappy! Even the emperor tried to please him, afraid to make him the tiniest bit angry. Because he was the legendary figure who had the power to destroy a whole city!
