Walker Of The Worlds

Lin Mu didn't know what Duan Ke was talking about, thus he looked at her in confusion. It seemed like there was some past relationship between the two of them and the merchant Jingming Shang. He wondered what it could be as right now it definitely did not seem like Duan Ke liked the man.

Jing Wei noticed Lin Mu's inquiring look and knew that it didn't matter if he spoke about it. They had already been together in this for a while now and it seemed to him that it would be fine, revealing it to Lin Mu.

~Sigh~

"You know why I had to save him back then. We were in need and at that time he seemed to be the only choice. Plus, with us having saved him made Jingming Shang in our debt. Otherwise, our whereabouts would have long since been leaked if we dealt with any other merchants like him.

Although the man is a shrewd businessman, he still has a sense of honor and will follow through with his promise." Jing Wei said in a calm tone.

"If you say so, grandfather." Duan Ke said unwittingly.

Jing Wei looked at Lin Mu and spoke, "I know you want to ask something, go ahead it's fine."

"I just wanted to ask about Jingming Shang. From your words, it seemed like you saved him?" Lin Mu questioned.

"I did indeed. It was a few years ago, and we had been lacking a channel to sell and buy goods through. We couldn't use anything openly, as that would lead to our identity and location being leaked.

Back then we were traveling through the empire and encountered a group of people chasing a man who was none other than Jingming Shang.

He had apparently angered the wrong kind of people by taking over their profits, which led to them targeting him and hunting him down. We decided to lend him a helping hand and repelled his attackers. This led to him promising us a life debt.

Upon finding that he was a merchant, we decided on a deal. He will trade with us while keeping our identity secret. While he does not know who we really are, he still doesn't reveal our location to others." Jing Wei answered.

"I see…" Lin Mu nodded in response.
