"Brother Chen, do you travel alone, without any guards?"
Chen Youdong replied, "I will bring one guard. Who would have thought I'd be a cultivation failure, stuck in the Hollow Void stage and unable to advance? Although my guard is stronger than I am, that's about it. If real trouble arises, it would be good enough if they can carry me and run away."
Chen Youdong didn't elaborate, but Lin Chen understood.
Chen Youdong might feel that their combined strength was formidable, so he took the initiative to make friends, in case they encounter any difficulty along the way and need a hand. That was the meaning behind his saying that having more friends opens more paths.
Lin Chen wasn't opposed to this, after all, there are no unfounded hatreds, nor are there any loves without reason.
Why wouldn't he want to learn about the situation in the Northern Sea through Chen Youdong?
As they were chatting, a thunderous beast roar suddenly came from the sky.
