Chapter 130: Sect master’s wine.
"Why do we need to buy these?" Xiao Lian was confused, but this time it was Lee who had starry eyes.
He was currently caressing the neck of a beautiful chestnut steed, who, just a few moments ago, seemed wild and arrogant, but now was gently nibbling on his shoulder.
Lee already chose two – this moody one and a black horse for Xiao Lian, but mostly because of the color. The guy wore black so it was his turn to finally look cool, even if it was for the first time in his life.
It has been long since Lee talked to a horse, but it seemed that here they were similar to the ones in Sunwell. The moment he focused on his blue spark and the water particles revolving around it, the horse came over to him on its own, greatly surprising the current owner.
They were in a small town, right next to the Azuremist sect. The people here were mostly farmers who grew crops on the nearby slopes, providing provisions for the sect.
When the two arrived, the first thing Lee did was to rent a room for the night. Afterwards they strolled around until found someone willing to sell horses to them.
Xiao Lian’s question was understandable. Normally cultivators didn’t ride horses. To cover long distances was faster on feet, to not speak of short sprints in case of emergency.
But they were puny outer disciples who had to walk for several days to get back to the Nethermoon sect, and ignoring the fact that it was faster, Lee found riding a horse much more fun.
"You’ll see." He said, "I’ll teach you how to ride one and you’ll love it!"
Xiao Lian honestly doubted it, and he also didn’t like they spent all the bounty money they got just like that. But despite him being older, he was kind of inclined to let Lee take the lead.
The rest of the day was spent Lee teaching Xiao Lian, and the two boys riding around the town became an entertainment for the bored locals.
