Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 23 Leave For The Ilmen Sect (Part Two)

"Thank you so much, sir!"

The elder nodded at Darren, then he walked away.

Darren wasted no time and chose a fast horse from the stable. He mounted quickly and rode out,heading east.

Sand and dust flew past as Darren rushed forward on his horse. After half a day, they had traveledmore than a thousand miles, where Darren was greeted with towering hills and boundless denseforests.

But as Darren pushed to keep going, the horse became worn out.

"All right! Go now! Go back to your natural home." Darren stepped off the horse and released thebridle, freeing the horse in the forest.

After walking for some time, Darren saw a luxury carriage appearing on the road ahead.

Darren, standing from a distance, saw a girl in purple cloth and a maid sitting in the carriage.Following behind the carriage, there was a stocky teenager, riding on a horse. The carriage washeading in the same direction as Darren, so he decided to ask them if they could give him a ride tothe east.

He swept around the carriage to get their attention.

When the carriage’s driver saw Darren, he stopped their horse at once.

The driver was surprised to see Darren and thought he was a robber, so he exclaimed, "We are theSu Clan from Ossiriand. My lady is heading for the llmen Sect for the new disciples’ register. You areblocking our path. I beg your pardon.”

The driver was a clever man. He told Darren the two pieces of key information about the girl in thecarriage. Generally speaking, a robber would never want to get involved with a disciple of the limenSect, the most prestigious sect of the country.

Darren smiled and answered, "Ha-ha! I'm sorry to make you misunderstand that I'm a robber. I'mhere to ask for your assistance, Miss Su. Could you give me a ride? Please?"

"What's going on?" said the stocky teenager, who was sleepy at first. When the carriage stopped, hegot annoyed and dismounted from the horse at once. He rushed over and yelled at Darren, "Leavenow! Do you know who she is? My cousin is the talented disciple of the limen Sect. Go away now!Otherwise, I will teach you a lesson you won't forget!”

"Come on! Don't be so rude! Where are your manners?" The girl in purple stepped out of thecarriage.

Her delicate face would lure any man. The gauzy purple dress accented her slender figure and hersnow-white skin, striking a captivating presence.

"Where do you head for, mister?" the girl asked. Her voice was sweet and pleasing.

"The Iimen Sect. For the new disciples’ register as well. But my horse was worn out. Would you giveme a ride, Miss Su?"

Although there were hundreds of miles away from the limen Sect, Darren could make it in half a dayby walking. But he could save this time for cultivation if he managed to get a ride. So naturally, hewanted to take advantage of the opportunity.

"You are also heading for the llmen Sect? That's so great. It looks like we are disciples of the samesect. Come on in!" The girl in purple politely invited Darren to get in the carriage.

"You? A disciple of the llmen Sect? Ha-ha! There's no fucking way!" the stocky teenager sneered atDarren.

"That's right!" said the chubby maid beside the girl, in a voice dripping with sarcasm. "My lady, thellmen Sect only wants geniuses. But look at him!"

After some thought, the girl in purple asked Darren, "I'm sorry, mister. Which clan do you comefrom?"

"The Chu Clan from Valmar,” Darren answered politely.

"The Chu Clan? The same clan where Darren Chu is from?" the girl asked excitedly. She widened hereyes and waited for Darren's answer.

Darren deflected her question and asked, "You know Darren Chu?"

"Of course we do!" interrupted the chubby maid. "His name is well known to the whole of Valmarand its neighboring cities. He is a talent of the Black Degree. Don't tell me you are Darren Chu. Itwould be such an obvious lie."

Darren was dumbstruck with amazement. Although Valmar and Ossiriand were close, the distancebetween the two was at least hundreds of miles far. Darren could not believe that he became acelebrity in another city overnight.

"No! I'm not! I'm one of his relatives. I see him once in a while, ' Darren said, making up a randomlie.

A flash of disappointment crossed the girl's face when she heard Darren's answer. Then she gentlysaid to him, "Please get in the carriage, mister. I beg your pardon, mister. Could you introduce me toDarren Chu in the future?”

"Yeah! Of course! No problem!" Darren said with a bright smile.

"That's a trick, my lady! We know nothing about him!" the chubby maid said, squinting at Darren."What if he lied about being Darren's relative to win your trust? Then he could take advantage ofyou, my lady!"

"Mind your manner, Susan!" warned the girl in purple. Somehow, the girl could tell that Darren wasa special and righteous man right from setting her eyes on him. She trusted him and her owninstinct.

Then she waved at Darren to have him get in the carriage.

The stocky teenager looked at Darren with fury. "Damn it! The little bastard! If I replace out you arelying to my little cousin, I will tear you up. Bastard!"

The girl in purple watched out through the window and murmured to herself, "When will I be ableto arrive at the llmen Sect? I can't wait to meet Darren Chu. I wonder what the super genius lookslike?"

Darren smiled and shook his head. He had never expected that he would run into a fan of his alongthe way, and she was such a pretty one too. But it was not the right time to tell her his real name. SoDarren sat cross-legged and began his cultivation meditation. Even if he had only a few secondsavailable, Darren would utilize the time to improve his cultivation.
