The Wu Family deeply empathized with the Lin Family's tragic experience.
This shared misfortune brought the two families much closer.
"Fellow Daoist Wu, although Qingbu Square is only a day's journey away, the rest of the path supposedly passes through many perilous lands. Why don't we merge our caravans and travel together for safety?"
The Lin Family Patriarch was a man named Lin Ying. He had handsome features, but his build was unusually burly and much larger than an average person's. His eyes shifted slightly as he made the proposal.
"No, that wouldn't be wise." After a moment's hesitation, Wu Renxun flatly refused.
The Wu Family's caravan was already quite large. If they added the similarly-sized Lin Family caravan, their numbers would approach thirty thousand. A gathering of so many living people would certainly attract the attention of Ghost Cultivators and be a powerful lure for the Soulless, which could lead to immense trouble.
