Chapter 697 Ge Lu Sees Off

Zhang Tian's route was given to him by the young girl at the inn.

The young girl was a local and knew quite a bit.

After Zhang Tian inquired, the young girl directly gave him a location.

"Boss, it looks like it's going to snow."

Fatty looked at the overcast sky and couldn't help but speak.

Xixi is at a high altitude, very close to the sky, and winter arrives earlier than in other places.

Although it is still autumn in Beili, Xixi is already showing signs of snow.

The environment was not as harsh then, and the globe had not warmed, so the winters here were colder than usual.

Snow might even fall earlier.

"Everyone put on your padded jackets."

Shirley Yang reminded from the side.

Although Zhang Tian and the others might not need padded jackets.

Zhang Tian waved his hand and took out the padded jackets he had bought. They were large enough for five people.

Wu Tianzhen and the other two were a little dejected.

"Tianzhen, did you buy clothes?"

Wang Banyue asked from the side.

"We came in such a hurry, we didn't have time to buy clothes. Besides, you didn't expect it either."

Wu Tianzhen replied.

Wang Banyue sighed.

"The world is vast and boundless, and the biting cold wind blows, chilling my crotch."

Wang Banyue put on a heroic posture of facing death bravely.

"Brother Banyue, what a poem, what a poem!"

Fatty, wrapped in a thick cotton-padded jacket, smiled.

The horses advanced with difficulty against the strong wind.

These horses had decent resistance to the cold.

After all, they survived in Xixi.

However, it was unclear if they could survive a heavy snowfall.

As Fatty mentioned the snow, the sky gradually darkened.

Snowflakes began to fall, and the entire sky seemed to be covered by a white veil.

At the same time, in the main city, most people began to return to their homes.

The temperature in the Tibetan area is relatively cold; even in summer, one needs to wear a thick padded jacket.

"Boss, wow, it's only been a few minutes, and the street that was bustling with people is suddenly empty."

Fatty exclaimed as he looked at the street.

"We might be able to withstand the cold, but ordinary people are different. They are much more afraid of the cold than we are,"

Zhang Tian said, looking at the street, which was now completely deserted and unusually deserted.

"If this were abroad, they might start a fire."

Shirley Yang said.

"In places like this, people have stoves in their homes, and there's a small cooking stove under the bed to keep warm, so they won't freeze to death,"

Seeing that Shirley Yang might not be familiar with local customs, Hu Bayi explained.

Hu Bayi had lived in Xixi for many years, so he knew these things.

Hearing Hu Bayi's explanation, Shirley Yang nodded vaguely.

"Tianzhen, are you cold?"

Wang Banyue, lying on his horse, asked.

He quietly asked Wu Tianzhen.

Wu Tianzhen shook his head.

"We cultivate, so this cold can't harm us. Fatty, you're not cultivating properly."

Wu Tianzhen gave Wang Banyue a sideways glance.

"Tianzhen, I'm not cold, I'm just wondering why we aren't cold."

"As a man, Fatty should stand between heaven and earth, how can he be afraid of the cold?"

Wang Banyue said, and Wu Tianzhen touched his head.

This guy was really full of questions.

The horses soon left the main city.

Outside the city, Zhang Tian saw several figures from a distance.

They stood outside the city, seemingly a group of five or six people.

Zhang Tian looked closely and realized that in the white world, Ge Lu Na Zha and the others seemed to be standing under the snow.

When Ge Lu saw Zhang Tian approaching, a smile instantly appeared on his face.

"Sect Master, do you know them?"

Hu Bayi looked at Zhang Tian.

He couldn't see the approaching people clearly.

Zhang Tian nodded slightly.

"It's the old man we met in Beili before."

Zhang Tian said.

Hu Bayi was stunned.

"You met him again here?"

Hu Bayi's voice was slightly surprised.

After all, the world is vast and boundless. For one person to meet another in the same place twice, the fate between them could be imagined.

"Boss, is this old man trying to stop us?"

"Fatty will go give him a piece of his mind."

Wang Kaixuan said from the side.

"Brother Kaixuan, how can such a trivial matter be handled by you? Let me do it."

Wang Banyue came to Fatty, and the two spoke like a repeating machine.

Zhang Tian waved his hand.

"This person is not here to stop us."

Zhang Tian said, and the two fatties looked at Ge Lu not far away.

The horses soon arrived outside the city.

Ge Lu and the others had smiles on their faces.

"Yesterday, I guessed that you would leave, so we waited here again. I didn't expect you to come indeed."

"We wish you a safe journey again."

Ge Lu's old face was filled with smiles.

He looked like a loyal minister.

"Have you been waiting here for a long time?"

Zhang Tian asked.

"Yes, sir. Before sunset."

Ge Lu replied respectfully.

"Aren't you afraid we won't leave?"

Zhang Tian sat on his horse.

"No, how could a person of your ambition stay here for long,"

Ge Lu said, and Zhang Tian said nothing more.

"Thank you for seeing us off."

"Let's go."

With that, everyone galloped away on their horses.

"Chieftain Ge Lu, was this necessary?"

"This person has so much influence that he actually asked us to see him off."

After Zhang Tian left, a middle-aged woman spoke.

Her face was slightly displeased.

"You don't know how formidable he is."

"Remember to be respectful when you see him in the future."

Ge Lu said nothing more and turned to walk inside.

He felt a little smug; what he did today was the right thing.

He had speculated whether Zhang Tian would leave and was just taking a chance.

He didn't expect Zhang Tian to leave, so he managed to gain something.

"Boss, when did you get a subordinate?"

Fatty asked loudly while riding his horse at full speed.

"This was the guy who gave us information last night. He probably wants to build a connection with us."

Zhang Tian said slowly.

He was not surprised.

After all, this old man was very smart, unlike Fatty, who had strength but no foresight.

"Build a connection?"

"It seems he's eyeing your things, Boss. Can he succeed?"

Fatty said repeatedly.

"He must have come to curry favor with us this time. I didn't expect this old man to be so shrewd."

Zhang Tian murmured.

"But this kind of thing can be seen through at a glance. Is it necessary to do this?"

Shirley Yang asked doubtfully.

"You can see through it once or twice, but if you do it often, you will naturally accept him."

Zhang Tian's gaze was profound.

This kind of thing had happened many times throughout history.

For example, between generals and ministers, between brothers in the martial arts world, and even between modern-day sycophants.

If a sycophant persists for a long time, the other party will develop a unique emotion.

Of course, Zhang Tian had never been a sycophant, so he didn't know.

Horses galloped across the vast white expanse.

If they were driving, Zhang Tian could imagine that the car wouldn't get far, as the ground in some places had already turned into soft mud.
