Following Li Huowang's thorough explanation, with assistance from others, Jin Shanzhao's inner anger finally subsided.
As for the so-called reasons fabricated by Li Huowang, only Jin Shanzhao knew whether to believe them or not.
"Old man, since we are going the same way, why don't we travel together? If we encounter any trouble on the road, we can look out for each other, right?"
Hearing Li Huowang's words and recalling the corpses of those bandits from before, Jin Shanzhao hesitated for a moment before finally nodding.
"Sure, I'm old and travel alone; I indeed fear one day being carried off by a wild beast. It's safer to go with more people."
"However, venerable one, there's a saying 'respect the old and cherish the young.' After all, I am no longer of youthful age. If you startle me like that again, I might just end up in a coffin."
"Of course, I won't. I was indeed too rash just now."
