Hearing the man's order coming from the cabin, Yone heaved a sigh of relief, a smirk adorning his face for a split of a second before it got replaced by a joyous expression.
Kim didn't dare to waste time and immediately went to assist the kid and get him into the cabin, after seeing his happy expression as if his life had just been saved, he felt warmth and happiness spread all over his body.
'This could have been me if not master saved me back then,' Kim sighed as he recalled his childhood and the trauma he lived through, but he quickly brushed those thoughts away and helped the kid climb the cabin's two steps staircase.
The moment Yone stepped inside the cabin and gazed upon its interior, a flash of light crossed his eyes at a speed undetectable by anyone in the room.
'I hit the jackpot,' He laughed inwardly, feeling that taking the system's mission might be the right choice at his current state.
He could tell that he would gain a lot from this trip, not only the system's rewards but also the external ones from these people.
The carriage cabin exuded luxury and deep wealth. The walls were lined with what appeared to be expensive dark wood polished to a gleaming finish that reflected the glow of lanterns hanging from the ceiling.
The wooden floor and seats were covered by several materials that made them comfy to step and sit on.
In Yone's eyes, this was a level of wealth only those old monsters offsprings could afford.
'Even if they are not super rich as I'm assuming, this level shouldn't be that far off from it.' Yone assessed as he greeted everyone and sat beside the middle-aged man clad in green armor.
The aura he radiated did not affect him whatsoever, it was as if his battle experience was nothing but mere child's play in his eyes, and even Albert had to raise an eyebrow at his nonexistent reaction.
' I wonder if they have a lot of those spirit stones the guard yearned for,' Yone thought with anticipation, but his visible expression was that of joy and gratitude for the man who just saved him.
Immediately after taking his seat, Yone thanked him sincerely, tears uncontrollably streaming out of his eyes as he struggled to form a sentence.
He was deeply touched and felt the need to repay this person for saving his life.
And he would surely do so whenever he had the ability and power to repay him!
Albert on the other hand didn't pay much attention to this and told him to relax, he didn't do it for any repayment but was just a human reaction after seeing a kid in such a condition asking for help in the middle of the jungle, he then proceeded to heal him.
As for Sara and Raven, they didn't even bother taking a second glance towards Yone, they acted as if he didn't exist and kept on sitting leisurely while sometimes conversing here and there about happy memories and engaging cultivation stories.
Yone didn't pay much attention to any of them as well and after a few hours of continued traveling and healing, he finally spoke after all of his injuries were healed and didn't feel pain anymore.
"Good sir, how did you heal my injuries? You look strong and a good fighter, but you are also someone who can heal such wounds, is sir a prodigy?" Yone asked with curious shining eyes.
He thought Albert was so strong and he was fortunate to meet him in his crisis!
Albert couldn't help but dryly cough after hearing the kid's words.
It was too embarrassing!
Especially with someone of Raven's caliber, with his mysterious background, listening to these words.
What strong expert!
I'm nothing but a mere foundation establishment realm cultivator who's cannon fodder in higher-ranked sects and clans.
"Pfft," Sara couldn't help but laugh a little under her breath, but some of the sound still escaped from between her clothes.
She instantly covered her mouth and hid behind Raven not wanting to exchange looks with Albert.
"Ehm," Albert cleared his throat, ignored his lady's actions and Raven's ridiculing looks full of contempt, and answered the kid.
"Qi, which is the energy of the world that we use to cultivate, can be manipulated and injected into wounds or severe internal injuries to heal them slowly," He paused for a moment and then continued.
"The higher someone's realm is, the harder it is to heal them, hence I was only able to accomplish such a feat cause of your nonexistent cultivation base, or else it would have taken more than just a couple of hours."
Yone nodded his head in understanding, realization dawning upon him.
'Thankfully the system could aid in hiding my cultivation realm for the eyes of anyone below the Qi condensing realm or else it might have been a bit more tricky to get into this cabin,' He was relieved that his system had such a feature.
He didn't want to think of the consequences if these people knew he was already second layer at the age of seven.
Yone believed that it was most likely unprecedented in this region unless he was some heir of a famous and strong sect or clan, not some homeless kid who just run away with his life from the jungle.
'Also my plan could have been ruined,' Yone narrowed his eyes as he took a quick glance at Raven before shifting his gaze again.
As for the knowledge the man just shared?
Yone already had a rough idea about it given the guard's memories, he was only speaking and asking to deepen the connection between them in case some real danger occurred and the man decided to sacrifice him to buy time or something along those lines.
They were heading to the depths of the snow lake jungle, and for anyone below the 7th layer of the foundation establishment realm, this jungle was too dangerous and Yone never believed that this person was a saint!
He then took a more comfortable position, lay down on Albert's legs, and pretended to be asleep, while simultaneously studying the mission.
Albert didn't mind his actions knowing that the kid must have been so tired and afraid this whole time, and only greatly relaxed after his injuries healed and his pain was washed away.
He even caressed his pitch black hair from time to time comforting him, which Yone didn't care about, and kept on his innocent kids act all the way.
Albert was in deep thought about his current situation, he had expended over half of his Qi to heal the kid, which was surprisingly an astonishing amount of Qi required for someone who hadn't cultivated yet.
'We still need a couple more hours before we reach the depths of snow lake jungle anyway, I still have time to replenish some of my Qi before then,' Albert concluded with certainty and began absorbing Qi from the environment.
