"Who are they? Why are they beating you?" Ye Chen asked.

The old man smiled bitterly and said: "They are members of the Zhang family, the largest family in Fengcheng. This is not the first time.

My granddaughter and I make a living from this tavern, and we are often bullied by them. We often don’t pay for food without saying anything, and if we don’t obey the slightest bit, we will be beaten or scolded.

Three days ago, their young master came to eat and drink for free again. Before leaving, he took away all our food rations, saying that he was going to the mountains for hunting and did not bring enough food. He also said that we would go to the city to find him in the future.

Want money.

Where can we go to ask them for money? But they didn't leave us any food. We had no choice but to go to the city gate to beg for something to eat.

Two days passed like this. Unexpectedly, they happened to meet them at the city gate today as they were leaving the city. Linlin was young and outspoken, and said that they would not pay for food and asked them to pay the bill. The young master of the Zhang family became furious and said that we had spoiled him.

He even said he would beat us to death due to his reputation. Fortunately, my little brother acted righteously, otherwise... ugh!"

Ye Chenqi's steel teeth bit it into pieces.

The old man and the little girl were both mortals without force. If they had not appeared in time, they might have been beaten to death. And the fate of this little girl can be imagined.

Fengcheng Zhang Family! Ye Chen remembered this name in his heart.

The little girl Linlin's stomach suddenly growled and she looked at her grandfather beggingly.

Ye Chen couldn't bear it, "Just wait, I'll go hunt some game."

Now that we are thousands of miles away from Shanhe Sect, flying monsters in the sky are rarely seen, so Ye Chen is not too worried.

In less than half an hour, Ye Chen came back carrying a deer, three pheasants, and five or six hares.

"That's great! That's great! I finally have something to eat, and I don't have to worry about being hungry and unable to sleep at night. Thank you, big brother." Linlin jumped for joy, with a happy smile on her little face.

Children's happiness is always very simple. But it made Ye Chen feel sad.

The three of them soon had a meal of roasted deer meat. Not only did the grandfather and grandson eat it deliciously, but Ye Chen also ate it deliciously. This was the first cooked meal he had eaten since his escape.

"Old man, what is the real background of the Zhang family in Fengcheng?" Ye Chen asked while eating deer meat in his mouth.

"Child, what do you want to do? There are immortal cultivators in the Zhang family, and we can't offend them. I know you are very powerful, but compared with a behemoth like the Zhang family, you are still too weak." The old man had experienced many hardships and felt Ye Chen's feelings.

He was so angry that he was afraid that Ye Chen would be impulsive and cause a big trouble, and even get involved in it.

He sighed and said: "I have lived here for almost a lifetime. The older I get, the more I miss my hometown. I really don't want to leave my hometown. But now I have reached the point where I can't leave. For Linlin, I decided to leave here, even if I go

I’m begging for food in other places, so I won’t stay here any longer.”

"Grandpa..." Linlin had two more lines of tears on her face.

"Linlin, be good, don't cry." Ye Chen comforted Linlin and said to the old man: "I don't want to talk about leaving my hometown. Don't worry, I won't cause any trouble. You'd better tell me about this home first.

What is the situation? Let’s find a solution together. If it doesn’t work, I will leave with you.”

The old man became alert and said, "Brother, what are you going to do? I will pack my things tomorrow, leave here, and never come back. You must not mess with them."

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, old man, I'm not a reckless person."

How can the old man believe it? "Brother, how can I rest assured? When I see you, I think of my dead child. Back then, he was just like you, upright, hot-blooded, impulsive, and in the end... alas! The Zhang family

We can't afford to offend them, you know, their backstage is the Shanhe Sect!"

"Shanhe Sect?!" Ye Chen's eyes focused.

Under Ye Chen's repeated questioning, the old man finally told the truth.

The old man's surname is Tang. His son and daughter-in-law were originally outer disciples of the Shanhe Sect, and they have all reached the Tongmai Realm. They are only one step away from reaching the Qi Cultivation Realm, becoming inner disciples, and reaching the sky in one step.

Unfortunately, three years ago, while collecting medicine, he encountered a monster. Unfortunately, they both died and no bones were left. From then on, the old man could only depend on his granddaughter Linlin.

The two young masters of the Zhang family are also outer disciples of the Shanhe Sect. However, these two young masters have bad conduct. The old man's son has always been upright and hot-blooded. If he encounters the two young masters of the Zhang family doing evil, he will stop him. So.

As soon as this happened, there was a rift between the two families.

When Linlin's parents were still alive, the Zhang family didn't dare to do anything. But as soon as Linlin's parents passed away, the Zhang family began to bully the grandparents even more.

The old man's tavern was originally in the city, and he was living a decent life. However, under the pressure of the Zhang family, he had to move outside the city. However, the Zhang family still refused to give up and came to look for trouble again and again, almost driving the old man to a dead end.

Now, the two young masters of the Zhang family have both entered the inner sect of the Shanhe Sect, and the status of the Zhang family in Fengcheng has risen even more. Even the government will act based on their faces.

The third young master of the Zhang family bullied men and women, and did all kinds of evil. He was extremely arrogant. If Ye Chen hadn't happened to meet him today, even if the old man had been beaten to death in the street, no one would have dared to question him.

Ye Chen felt that his anger was not as big as usual. The Zhang family, who could do such a cruel thing to such a waning old man and a young child, were simply not human! Even worse than animals!

And he felt that the old man's son and daughter-in-law were probably not just collecting medicine and encountering monsters. The old man obviously had doubts about this, but there was no evidence. In fact, even if there was evidence, he could not do anything to the Zhang family.

The death of his son and daughter-in-law doomed their family to tragedy.

The old man sighed: "My child, the Zhang family is really not easy to mess with. Don't do stupid things. I... better leave!"

Ye Chen said: "Old man, let's go, where can we go? Isn't there no one to bully me in other places?"

The old man sighed. Yes, an old man and a young man are helpless. No matter where he goes, the situation will not be too good. And it can be seen that it is difficult to leave his homeland, and he does not want to leave.

How could he not understand the old man's expression? His adoptive father was like this back then. He said: "Old man, why don't we stay together? I, and you, will stay together!"

The old man said quickly: "No, not only can't you stay, but you also have to leave, and the sooner the better. You beat one of their people, and the person you beat was their third young master, they will definitely not let it go.

If you fall into their hands, there will definitely be no good end. My child, you are a good person, and I really don’t want to see anything happen to you."

Ye Chen suddenly smiled, "But it seems we can't leave anymore."

The old man was surprised, "Why?"

"Because they are already here."

Sure enough, as soon as Ye Chen finished speaking, there was a burst of noise outside the house.

"This is it. This is the old guy's home. Someone saw them coming back."

"There is a fire here and there is smoke. I must be at home."

"Old man Tang, get out of here!"

"If you don't come out, I'll set your house on fire!"

"..."

"Grandpa!" Linlin was so frightened that she threw herself into the old man's arms.

The old man's face suddenly turned pale. "What... what should we do? Child, you... quickly find a place to hide..."

But when I saw the situation in the house, I sighed again. The house was already bare, so where could I hide people?

While he was hesitating, he heard a "bang" sound, the door was kicked open, and two fierce-looking men rushed in.

Linlin let out a frightened "ah" and pressed herself tighter into the old man's arms.

"Linlin is not afraid! With grandpa here, Linlin has nothing to fear!" the old man comforted softly, but even he could hear that his voice was trembling. Obviously, in his opinion, this time there was no escape.

. And it also implicated this young man.

"Which family do you belong to? Hasn't anyone taught you to knock before entering?" Unexpectedly, Ye Chen didn't even raise his head. He stuffed a mouthful of deer meat into his mouth and said as if nothing had happened.

"Who are you little bastard?"

"Is this the third young master who was injured by you, a little bastard?"

The tempers of the two big men were obviously not very good. They were so irritated by Ye Chen that they pointed at Ye Chen and yelled, as if Ye Chen had just dug their ancestral graves. However, they did not dare to do it rashly. Obviously, this person was very likely to

He was the one who injured the third young master. How could a person who could injure the third young master at the fifth level of Zhenwu Realm be Yi Yu? The two of them were only at the third level of Zhenwu Realm, and they rashly went up to do it.

Looking for abuse. Although they are rough people, they still have some self-awareness.

Ye Chen still didn't raise his head, "Who are you scolding, little bastard?"

A big man said without thinking: "I'm scolding you, little bastard!"

"Oh, it turns out it was the little bastard who scolded me. Let me tell you, no wonder he spoke so harshly." Ye Chen threw away the bone in his hand and said with a smile.

Only then did the two big men realize that they had been tricked, and they immediately became furious, "You little bastard, are you looking for death?"

"Who are you scolding, little bastard?"

"The little bastard scolded..."

Halfway through the words, I realized something was wrong and swallowed the second half abruptly.

"Go to hell!"

The two big men were so angry that they attacked from the left and the right. Anyone who was put in such a position would be angry, let alone them who were always arrogant. They were already brave and ruthless people, and they were angered by Ye Chen.
