"It's just that this the only path towards the annual joint meeting if you come from our border region…"
"How do you know I came from there…?"
We weren't that close to the border region anymore, so him mentioning that only made me more suspicious.
"It's nothing really, my sect master seemed to have taken notice of your heroic act back in the 'Green Earth' village, so once he realized that you were probably heading to the annual join meeting, he asked me to invite you to travel with us, I'm just a messenger…"
'Oh...'
There were indeed quite a number of prescences close to this location, if it was that sect that everyone in the village talked about then it was indeed possible that they are just passing by…
"Hmmm…"
Thinking about the fact that I was going to head to the meeting with nothing in hand but an invalid sect identification jade plate, and also about me not knowing the distance left to reach there, it didn't really seem like a bad idea to join them…
