130: Chapter 102, Peach Blossom Luck, Romantic Tribulation_1 130: Chapter 102, Peach Blossom Luck, Romantic Tribulation_1 “My Lord, I have found out.

The team that just passed us is the Mountain Baron’s escort, reportedly heading to Qiaomu County to ship weapons.

It seems they’re intended for combatting the Skeleton Society.

The convoy was overly prepared, forbidding any strangers from approaching.

Even during meal times, people took turns guarding it.

I wasn’t able to find out what sort of weapons they were transporting.”

The young man spoke, completely oblivious to the slight creasing of the old man’s brow upon hearing “Skeleton Society”.

“I see, Char.

If it’s business for the noble lords, let’s leave it as such.

We don’t need to keep an eye on it.”

The old man said emotionlessly.

It was as if the man to be investigated was not his issue.

Char, who was used to such behaviors, found it unsurprising.

Their lord, although a bit eccentric, was really kind.

He not only took in them orphans but also taught them skills.

After travelling north and south for so many years and spending most of his earnings on them, how could they not feel grateful?

But after sending Char away, the old man’s face turned serious, as if he was engaged in an intense internal struggle.

“Grandpa, I’m back.”

The crisp voice interjected his thoughts.

But before this little girl, the old man could never be angry.

“I see, my little elf.

Stop shaking so much, you’re about to shake your grandpa apart!”

The old man said fondly.

If there’s anyone in this world that still moves his heart, it must be the girl before him.

“Grandpa, you’re lying again!

I’m so little, how could I shake you apart?”

The little girl said irritably.

A living, breathing angry elf.

Yet her large rolling eyes betrayed her true feelings.

“Guna, you’re causing trouble again!”

Saying this, the old man pinched the young girl’s soft cheek, with a face full of love and helplessness.

“Grandpa, are we moving again?”

Guna asked with a hint of reluctance.

For some unknown reason, her grandpa always liked to move.

The excuse was poor business and looking for a fresh start elsewhere.

But the girl knew her grandpa simply liked to move.

On all other issues, her grandpa would yield to her wishes.

Only on moving, he stood his ground.

Although she seemed to be about eleven or twelve, she was worldly-wise after following her grandpa through seven countries.

In the years she grew up, nearly a third of the time was spent on the road.

“Business isn’t good!

I thought the Southeastern Province was wealthy, and we could earn a fortune.”

Who would have thought once arriving, we’d find it’s dominated by noble lords’ industries.

We, as traveling merchants, can only scrape by.”

The old man’s excuse rang hollow once again.

Guna simply rolled her eyes.

Which part of the Aslante Continent isn’t dominated by nobles?

Even the supposedly sacred Clergy, the self-proclaimed merchant’s paradise, the Free Federation, belongs to the nobles, although with a different moniker.

Understanding that she couldn’t change the old man’s mind, Guna smiled and said: “Grandpa, do you know what I saw today?

An Earth Bear, a cute, silly Earth Bear.

It even winked at me, it was adorable.

Unfortunately, the bear had an irresponsible owner.

He wanted the little bear to grow up, and was making it go on the road with him.

No matter how I objected, he even threatened to make me his maid if I continued interfering.

But the clever little bear became a tiny palm-sized thing and jumped on the man’s shoulder, refusing to come down…”

As the girl was enthusiastically recounting the event, the old man’s expression grew steadily darker.

“Guna, listen carefully.

Don’t get near strangers, especially those wicked nobles!”

“Why, I find that man really fun!

He was actually negotiating prices with the little bear…”

Before the girl could finish her sentence, the old man sternly reprimanded: “Listen to your grandpa, stay away from those people.

Your feelings can sometimes be deceptive.

Your Mind Induction may sense the malice of most people, but it’s not infallible.

If you come across those with special bloodlines or who have achieved a certain level of cultivation, your Mind Induction will fail!

If you like the Earth Bear, grandpa will catch you one…”

“Don’t go, it’s dangerous!

I don’t want an Earth Bear.”

Guna rushed to say.

“Ha, ha…”

“Our little Guna is growing up, worrying about your grandpa’s safety.

In the past, you used to ask your grandpa for anything you fancied.”

The old man said lovingly, seeming to find joy in his granddaughter’s growth.

“No!”

“Grandpa, this time it’s different.

I truly sensed danger, more terrifying than anyone I have met before!”

Guna said seriously.

Her cute expression reduced the persuasiveness of her words.

But the old man, who knew of her gift, did not take it lightly:

“Could it be that the Earth Bear has come of age?”

Over many years of travelling, they met many people and experienced various events, including encounters with some of the continent’s top strongmen.
