As they were going through the forest, they met four middle-aged men who stopped them to ask a question.
"Do you guys happen to know the direction of the Crescent City? We are pretty bad at directions so we have gotten lost."
Sara told them the direction and was about to leave but Eric stepped in saying, "We are going to the Crescent City, why don't you come with us?"
"Really, thank you so much."
Sara wanted to say something but decided not to as they were just mortals and they wouldn't be a threat anyway.
Seeing that Sara didn't say anything, Eric slowly smiled.
The four of them weren't random people but rather people summoned by Eric.
After he heard that Alchemist and Forging Masters were rare, he summoned one of each and two other cultivators and let them get ahead to wait for them.
He could let them act as a background for Sara which would make her life easier in the sect.
As for the cultivation, the ones with profession were newly summoned and didn't actually have any cultivation but the other two were level 7 so Sara couldn't see through them unless she tried really hard.
With that, days slowly passed by until they reached the city gate. After getting into the city, the two groups separated but before they left, one of them said, "Thank you for your help, if you need any help from us in the future, we will do our best."
