Chapter 2783

Chapter 2783Knowing that Ivasha was safe and sound brought a sense of relief to both Jared and Yuven They
hastened to Jipsdale. Just as they were only a short distance away from their destination, they
encountered another group of people.
They all donned the same attire, and the one leading the group was a thin elderly man. It seemed that
the other group was headed for Jipsdale as well.
"Mr. Samoll, do you know them?" Jared asked. If they were heading for the Alchemist Fair, then
Ghaylen would surely know them. After all, they were all alchemists.
However, Ghaylen glanced at them briefly and shook his head. "I don't. It doesn't seem like they're
alchemists. Did you notice something strange about them?"
Jared only smiled and shook his head. He did not notice anything odd about them, but he could sense
that their auras were unlike those of cultivators.
But at the same time, he could not tell what exactly was different, and that was why he had asked
Ghaylen that question.
When the other group noticed Jared's group, they, too, studied them before walking past them. In fact,
one of them kept looking at Jared's group, a pleading look in their eyes.
Right as Jared intended to study that person closer, the other group had quickly distanced themselves,
seemingly intentionally. Jared could only knit his brows as he watched them leave.
"What's the matter, Jared? Was there something wrong with that group?” Viola asked upon seeing
Jared's expression. "There's someone who seems to be asking for help," Jared said."Asking for help?" Viola blinked in surprise. "Those people are clearly from the same sect. Why would
they ask for our help? You must have made a mistake."
"Maybe," Jared mumbled, flashing her a smile. After covering some distance, they decided to stop for a
break. Jipsdale was not too far now, so there was no need for them to rush.
While they were resting, Jared disappeared. He could not dismiss the look in that person's eyes, which
was clearly a plea for help. Furthermore, the group's auras confused Jared. In no time, he caught up
with the other group.
Likewise, they were resting under a tree. Jared raked his gaze across the people, hoping to find the
one who had sought help from him, but he found no traces of them.
Right then, he heard soft voices from his left, so he tiptoed in that direction. He discovered that the one
who cast him a pleading look earlier was with the elderly man who led the group.
Before them was a cauldron, wisps of white smoke escaping it. It was obvious that they were practicing
alchemy.
"Why are they practicing alchemy in a place like this?" Jared was surprised. He could not understand.
why they were performing alchemy in the middle of nowhere.
Just as he was about to discover what kind of pill they were trying to create in the cauldron, the thin
elderly man abruptly whipped his head in Jared's direction, staring at that spot with stern eyes. Jared
was taken aback. He had already concealed his aura, yet the elderly man had still noticed.
Just as he was about to leave the place, the thin elderly man, Vinicus, demanded, "Who are you?
Since you've come here, you might as well show yourself."
Hearing that, Jared stepped out of his hiding spot. The one who had asked for Jared's helpearlier stiffened when he saw Jared.
"Why are you sneaking around, kid?” Vinicus asked coldly, looking at Jared.
