Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 369

A person flew from the inside of the cave. He stood in front of Darren with a perplexed look on his face, measuring the stranger up and down quickly. He then cupped his hands together and bowed. "May I know your reason for being here, sir?"

The man seemed calm on the outside, but in reality, he was quite terrified inside. The young man in front of him did not seem to be any ordinary person as he was exuding with an extremely overbearing aura. The man from the cave was certain that the young man was an incredibly powerful warrior whose abilities were much more superior to his. If this young man was here with the intention of killing him, it would not be difficult for him to take his life in an instant.

"Relax. I'm here just for a talk. How should I address you?" Darren gave the man a friendly smile.

"I'm Gary Gao. What can I do for you, sir? Please tell me straight away." Gary Gao felt relieved upon sensing Darren's friendliness. He had mistaken the young man as a troublemaker looking to cause him problems.

"All right. I won't beat around the bush." Darren looked at the man with sincerity.

"I've been to numerous countries. Among all of the reclusive cultivators I've met, you're the most excellent in terms of cultivation base. You've reached the top level of the primary stage of the Wonder Realm. I came here with the intention of inviting you as the noblest invited guardian of our Chu Clan. Are you willing to accept my invitation?" announced Darren cordially.

"I, uh..." stuttered Gary, full of hesitation. He was reluctant to accept such an invitation, but he was afraid to refuse it.

"Why are you hesitant? You can tell me your reasons," reassured Darren in a soft manner.

"Well... I've been leading a reclusive life on this mountain and had kept my hands clean from the affairs of the outside world for over a decade, sir. I'm afraid I must decline your invitation. I'm sorry," explained Gary, head lowered and a trace of nervousness evident in his voice.

"Please don't be too hasty in refusing, Gary. I know you live here because you want to stave off from the troubles of the outside so you can focus on your practice and improve your cultivation base. I completely understand, but if you would please take a look at these to see if they can help you?" Darren then summoned out tens of thousands of spiritual herbs and laid them in front of Gary.

"Oh my goodness!" exclaimed Gary, his eyes wide in astonishment. The sight of so many spiritual herbs gave him a huge start. He automatically took a few steps back, hands trembling from the shock.

He felt like his heart was going to pop out of his chest from how fast it was beating.

"I..." Gary was choking with excitement. However, the look of pure ecstasy on his face soon faded away, giving way to an expression of gloominess. He could no longer finish what he was trying to say.
