[Chapter 0005] Red-haired girl

Wu Chen continued to rush forward while thinking in a deep mood. After a long time, he suddenly asked: "Sister Jiuer, what are the shortcomings of people from other races as far as you know?"

Man Jiuer was silent for a moment and said, "This is hard to say. The alien race is the target of public criticism, so they have lived in seclusion for generations and generally do not appear in public places on the mainland. I had the honor of meeting another alien race except you. His blood defect is that he is born blind and can't see anything when he is born. As for other alien races, I don't know much about it. And the alien race who was born blind is said to die miserably after being discovered."

Wu Chen felt a little worried again and thought to himself: "I was cursed as blind? It's so scary. I don't know what my flaws are, so don't be too serious."

"Sister Jiuer, if there is no clue about my bloodline defects, I'd better go back to Chiyun City first. Returning to the family is at least a place to settle down. Now, please ask Sister Jiuer to help me hide the 'evil breath'." Wu Chen said sincerely.

"Don't worry, I'll hide it for you long ago. Even if you activate the source meridian and have the strength of the source meridian realm, you won't reveal your identity as an "evil source". But it's hard to tell when encountering a very powerful martial artist. So you must find out the bloodline defects as soon as possible and then continuously improve your strength."

"Well. Sister Jiuer, I almost don't understand the outside world at all, and I will rely on you all in the future." Wu Chen gradually calmed down from the grief of his father's death. People are dead. Since they cannot be resurrected, he might as well turn grief into strength. What he has to do in front of him is to remember his father's last order and return to the family.

Along the way, Wu Chen quickly learned from Man Jiuer that there was a magical small "storage space" inside his dragon crystal pendant, about the size of a room of 20 square meters. However, there was nothing except a broken map and a yellowed scroll. Man Jiuer told Wu Chen that as long as Wu Chen activates the first source vein and reaches the strength of the first level of the source vein realm, he will naturally be able to freely contact this "storage space".

At this moment, Man Jiuer used his soul body to follow the broken map to guide Wu Chen to cross mountains and ridges and continue to move forward towards Chiyun City. Man Jiuer always reminded Wu Chen that he could only walk around the mountains everywhere and must not go deeper.

After walking for more than half a month, they had entered the territory of the "Chiyou Mountains". Judging from the marks on the map, Chiyou Mountain is different from the small forest where Wu Chen lived in seclusion and the small mountain range he encountered along the way. There are powerful monsters living in the depths of the Chiyou Mountains. With Wu Chen's current strength that he has not even activated the source vein, he will undoubtedly die if he encounters a monster.

At this time, Man Jiuer suddenly said, "The other side of Chiyou Mountain is Chiyun City."

When Wu Chen heard this, he was so energetic that he was sleeping in the open air and traveled day and night. Under the guidance of Man Jiuer, he cleverly avoided the low-level monsters outside the mountains and some martial artists who traveled to the mainland along the way.

It took three months before Wu Chen finally saw a magnificent giant city appearing in front of him. From the map, it should be Chiyun City.

Wu Chen grew up in the countryside. Even if his soul does not belong to this world, he has never seen such a magnificent place in front of him! Carved and jade-made buildings are lined up in the city. The tall red city walls extend almost a hundred miles away. The magnificent city gates stand majestic like giants.

As soon as Wu Chen stopped, he entered the city from the south gate.

Soon, he realized that there was no noise and crowds as he imagined. On the contrary, there were very few pedestrians on the spacious bluestone street. Wu Chen didn't know what kind of family the Wu family was. After inquiring along the way, he was surprised to find out that the Wu family was actually one of the three major families in Chiyun City!

"Young man, are you from other places? You don't look like a warrior or a businessman. If you don't have a relative or work in Chiyun City, you must leave the city before sunset. Otherwise, you will be discovered by the patrol guards of the three major families. You will have to take off three layers of skin even if you die." In front of a restaurant, an old man with a hunch put a bowl of noodles in front of Wu Chen with both hands and kindly reminded him.

Wu Chen smiled, then picked up the chopsticks and started to swallow them. He only ate wild fruits and drank dew along the way, and the birds had faded out of his mouth. Now that he smelled delicious noodles, his stomach had already grown roaring.

After eating the noodles, Wu Chen wiped his mouth and then carried his father's ashes in his hand. Then, he saw an extremely beautiful girl coming over quickly to collect the dishes and chopsticks.

The girl has delicate facial features, about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a plain dress. Although she is simple and slightly rustic, she cannot cover her delicate figure and concave curves. Her beautiful big eyes are full of agility as if she can speak. Her hair is rare and faintly red, and she is drooping straight up to her waist like a waterfall. She has no ornaments on her body, but she shows her elegant posture and elegant elegance.

Wu Chen couldn't help but wonder, how could such a beautiful girl carry plates and wash dishes in the restaurant? Just as she was thinking, the girl suddenly pointed to the old man, meaning that Wu Chen had finished eating and it was time to collect the money. From beginning to end, the girl didn't say a word.

"Young man, five copper coins." The old man said half-bent his back. His face was full of traces of time.

Wu Chen still knows the currency of this world. There are three types of coins, gold coins, silver coins and copper coins. One gold coins can be exchanged for ten silver coins, and one silver coins can be exchanged for ten copper coins.

"So expensive?" Wu Chen was shocked. He thought that a bowl of noodles and one copper coin would be great, but he didn't expect to collect five copper coins?

Seeing Wu Chen's surprise, the old man was not annoyed, but explained patiently: "Young man, although I received five copper coins from you when you eat this bowl of noodles, three of them were to hand them over to the Lu family, and one was to the landlord. The shop actually only had one copper coins, which was not the cost of food, rice, oil and salt."

After hearing what the old man said, Wu Chen suddenly realized. He had already found out that the Lu family, like the Wu family, is also one of the three major families in Chiyun City, and the other family is the Shi family.

Wu Chen suddenly started to speak for the small restaurant: "This Lu family is too much. You actually need to draw three copper coins for a bowl of noodles?"

When the old man heard this, he quickly made a gesture of silence, and then looked around carefully. Seeing that there was no "city patrol guard" next to him, he whispered: "Young man, you can't say it, be careful that disaster comes from your mouth."

Wu Chen is about to return to his family. At that time, he will be considered a family of three major families, so he will not be afraid of the patrol guards. However, he suddenly smiled embarrassedly and whispered: "Old man, let me discuss something with you. That... I owe you the money first. When I return to the family, I will definitely come back and make up for you."

As soon as Wu Chen said something, the girl who was about to enter the room with her bowls and chopsticks suddenly stopped. Then she turned around, frowned with her crescent eyebrows, and then slowly walked towards Wu Chen.

"Young man, if I were to put it in normal times, this bowl of noodles would be considered a treat. But now, the raw materials we do business have registered by the Lu family. How many bowls of noodles can be sold can't be hidden from them. So I asked the young man to pay the meal for the sake of the difficulty of my old man and his granddaughter."

Wu Chen spread his hands awkwardly and said, "Old man, look at my clothes... I really have no money now, but don't worry, I am from the Wu family, and I will definitely send you money when I return to the Wu family."

The old man looked at Wu Chen carefully again. It was indeed like a 'beggar' as Wu Chen said. The old man didn't believe what Wu Chen said that he was from the Wu family. But he had always been kind-hearted, and after thinking about it, he shook his head helplessly and said, "Since that's the case, then forget it."

"Thank you, my uncle, I must...Oh." Before Wu Chen finished saying thankful words, he suddenly felt a flash in front of him. Then his belly hurt violently, then screamed, and he flew back out of the restaurant and smashed it hard on the street. It turned out that it was the girl who had not spoken and kicked Wu Chen away with one kick.

"Sakura, stop." Seeing that the girl was about to come forward and continue to beat Wu Chen, the old man Yilu quickly stopped her.

Wu Chen suffered a loss, but felt that he was ashamed of the first place, so he had to smile helplessly and then climbed up from the ground. He saw that there was no anger in the girl's eyes, only a hint of disgust. This indifference made people feel cold on their backs when they looked at her.

Without saying nonsense, Wu Chen hurriedly left the restaurant in the remote street with his father's ashes and limped towards the Wu family who had been inquired.

Chiyun City is really not small. After walking for nearly half an hour, Wu Chen came to the gate of a majestic and grand courtyard. Looking up, he saw a big word "Wu", with dragons flying and phoenix hanging in front of the magnificent gate.

The Wu family in Chiyuncheng! Is this his family? Wu Chen couldn't help but suddenly felt an inexplicable excitement all over his body.

Finally found the family. Wu Chen breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, a burst of extremely noisy footsteps suddenly sounded from inside. Then dozens of figures rushed out from inside. These people were dressed the same clothes, and they all had a fierce aura. After walking out of the Wu family's courtyard, they were all shocked to see Wu Chen. They were all surprised. At this time, there were beggars who dared to stand at the gate of the Wu family?

"Take it away." A fair young man in the lead waved his hand and said coldly. Then two burly men quickly walked up and held Wu Chen back. Wu Chen glanced at the sunset that was about to sink, and then he suddenly remembered the kind reminder of the old man in the restaurant. It seemed that these people must have regarded him as a real beggar, or a three-no-person, and were about to expel him from the city.

"Hey, wait. I'm from the Wu family, I'm back to recognize my ancestors." Wu Chen was dragged by two big men, and his arms were so painful that he could only shout quickly.

Hearing Wu Chen's shout, the leading young man was stunned, and then signaled the two big men to put Wu Chen down.

"You said you are from the Wu family?" The young man was very handsome, with white skin, and at first glance he had a bit of a white-faced scholarly temperament.

Wu Chen nodded heavily.

"Then tell me who is your father?" the white-faced young man asked with a frown. He had already thought in his heart that if Wu Chen dared to fool him, he would definitely not let Wu Chen have a good life.

Wu Chen immediately said, "My father is Wu Zhen."

"Wu Zhen? Which Wu Zhen?" The white-faced young man suddenly showed doubts. Then he looked at the team of burly men behind him. The team of men also showed doubts.

Looking at the posture in front of him, Wu Chen suddenly felt a slap in his heart: "What's going on? Could it be... Is it going to the wrong place?"
