"Hey, country bumpkin? I don't see that you are quite rich. How much do we want to borrow? We have borrowed all the money you have, so take it all out!" A servant looked at Xia Chen up and down and sneered.
"You two, let's talk about the amount. I'm afraid I have too much money and you can't afford it!" Xia Chen said with a faint smile.
"Haha, country bumpkin, you're so interesting!" the last servant laughed, "This is the first time I've seen a guy who is so good at showing off. Come on, come on, take out the money you have, and I'll see how much you have. Let's see.
Can we afford it?"
The two of them hugged their arms and looked at Xia Chen playfully.
Xia Chen calmly stretched his hands into his arms and into the cornucopia. Copying these pieces of silver was just an instantaneous act, and they piled up like a mountain in the blink of an eye.
When he took it out again, there was already an ingot of patterned silver in his hand.
"Hillbilly, that's all you have left..." The two servants laughed in unison.
Suddenly, the scene in front of them turned silver-white, and countless pieces of silver poured out of Xia Chen's hands like a violent storm, and smashed towards them crazily.
"ah!"
The two servants were immediately smashed by the rain of silver, their heads were covered with blood, and they screamed in agony.
Xia Chen smashed it without saying a word. The silver was at least two taels heavy. In a moment, the two servants fell to the ground, groaning feebly.
Xia Chen clapped his hands and sighed: "I said you couldn't afford it, and you didn't believe me. What's the result? Alas..."
After saying that, Xia Chen walked away.
The entire city was silent, everyone stared at this almost miraculous scene in stunned silence.
After a moment, there was a sudden shout, and everyone rushed forward, frantically grabbing the grains of silver on the ground, and from time to time they stepped heavily on the bodies or faces of the two servants who were in great pain.
Hearing the sounds of looting behind him, Xia Chen smiled slightly and walked away without looking back.
Walking to the entrance of a secluded alley, Xia Chen's expression suddenly changed and he said loudly: "Who are you? Are you following me furtively? What's the matter?"
"Hmph, you are so brave, how dare you say that this girl is sneaky?" A delicate voice like an oriole sounded behind him.
Xia Chen turned around and saw a sixteen or seventeen year old girl looking at him angrily with her hands on her hips.
This girl's voice is just like her own, her face is picturesque, she looks indescribably charming, and with her jade-like snow-white skin, she looks extremely beautiful and gorgeous under the golden sunlight.
She looked at Xia Chen, her lacquer-like eyes filled with a little curiosity and a little anger, but mostly surprised, obviously surprised that Xia Chen could actually find her traces.
"You're not sneaky, why are you following me?" Xia Chen said.
"Who is following you? Do you have any control over whether this girl is willing to take this path?" The girl curled her lips.
Xia Chen smiled: "You followed me from Fangshi to the entrance of this alley, passing through two streets and three turns. Is our route such a coincidence?"
The girl's face turned red. She wanted to argue but didn't know what to say. She said angrily: "Do you think they are following you to harm you? You are about to be in trouble! I'm leaving now, and you have nothing to do with me.
relation!"
With that said, she turned around and prepared to leave.
Xia Chen smiled slightly and said, "Miss, please." He was about to turn around and leave.
"Hey, you guy, why don't you get in?" The girl immediately became anxious, walked up to Xia Chen and stopped her: "I just said you got into a big trouble, don't you believe it?"
"Oh?" Xia Chen said, "How come I didn't know that a disaster was about to happen to me? Do you know how to predict it?"
"You guys!" the girl said anxiously, "the two hooligans you just beat are servants of the Yang family! The Yang family is one of the four major cultivating families in Maplewood City. Not only is it overbearing, but it is also very defensive. You
If you offend them, they will definitely take revenge on you."
"Oh? So that's it." Xia Chen blinked and pretended to be surprised, "I'm a foreigner and I didn't know they were from the Yang family. What should I do?"
"You know how to be afraid now? Boy." The girl looked at him triumphantly, "I reminded you just now that you still don't believe it, and you said that he is sneaky, huh, a dog bites Lu Dongbin, but he doesn't know a good heart!"
Xia Chen touched his nose and thought that this girl would definitely retaliate for her hatred, and said: "Then I will leave Maplewood City now. Anyway, I am alone and have nothing to worry about."
The girl smiled coldly: "Can you run away? Maybe the Yang family will set up a dragnet now to catch you everywhere. If you are caught by them, they will definitely slap you!"
She gestured with her little hands and made a cutting motion.
Xia Chen spread his hands and said helplessly: "According to what you say, I can't run away. Can't I just wait to die?"
"That's not necessarily the case!" The girl suddenly showed a righteous look, "I can save you, you come with me, I will protect you, the Yang family will never dare to do anything to you."
"You save me?" Xia Chen looked at her with suspicion, shook his head and said, "The Yang family is so powerful, how can a weak woman like you save me? I don't believe it!"
"Hmph, don't underestimate me!" the girl said proudly, "I see that you are also a practitioner, but you only have Qi sensing. To tell you the truth, I am a genuine acquired first-level Qi refining realm!"
Suddenly, she gave a sweet shout, got into a stance, and punched. The strong wind roared under the excitement of her true energy!
Xia Chen was stunned. This time he was really stunned.
Although this girl's skills are not worth mentioning, her true energy is quite strong, actually a bit stronger than Sun Li and Chen Lie.
But Sun Li and Chen Lie are official inner disciples of the Zhengxuan Sect, and they have their own guidance and elixir conditioning. They are top-notch existences even among the same disciples. In terms of conditions, they are much better than this small town in Maple Forest. Look,
Either the girl who came here has another opportunity, or she is very qualified.
Seeing Xia Chen in a daze, the young girl thought she was being restrained by her own cultivation. She couldn't help but smiled proudly: "How is it? I'm very powerful, right? To tell you the truth, I am from the Li family in Maplewood City, and so is my Li family.
One of the four major families in Maplewood City is not afraid of the Yang family!"
"A member of the Li family? Are you?" Xia Chen's expression changed. The Li family is an affiliated family of the Zhengxuan Sect.
"I am Li Qitong, the daughter of Li Dongkui, the head of the Li family!" the girl said proudly, suddenly reaching out and patting Xia Chen on the shoulder, "Boy, do you believe I can protect you this time?"
Seeing her calling him brat in an old-fashioned way, Xia Chen couldn't laugh or cry: "It turns out to be Miss Li. I'm disrespectful. However, I bumped into Miss Li by chance. I would like to ask, why are you helping me? Aren't you afraid of offending the Yang family?"
Li Qitong said: "Just call me Second Miss. The Yang family is the enemy of our Li family, and you beat a servant of the Yang family. The so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend. Of course I want to help you, and I saw that you acted cleanly just now.
I also bought some exercise books. He must be a casual practitioner. It just so happens that our Li family is now recruiting a lot of customers, so you can come with me."
A retainer? Xia Chen was startled, and then he understood. It turned out that the second young lady had chosen him as a thug. It seemed that the Li family was indeed being forced by other families, otherwise they would not even have the head of the family's daughter in the market looking for a retainer.
Xia Chen did not want to reveal his identity. Although his mission was to help the Li family suppress the situation, the specific details were not clear yet. Why would other cultivating families threaten the Li family? Is there any potential danger? Will he be involved in the dispute?
These all need to be ascertained. The identity of this retainer can be used.
Thinking of this, Xia Chen immediately said happily: "Thanks to the second lady's love, I will go through fire and water for the Li family without hesitation."
"That's easy to say!" Li Qitong waved her little hand grandly, "From now on, you can just follow me. If anything happens, I will take care of it for you! You are the one I recruited, so I will naturally keep you safe. By the way, boy, you
What’s your name and where does it come from?”
You don't even know the origin of the name, so you dare to recruit people at will? This eldest lady seems to have no scheming intentions.
In the village, I have always been alone, wandering around the world, only passing by Maplewood City occasionally."
"Oh? I didn't expect you to come from such a far away place, so you must have had a lot of experiences." Li Qitong was slightly surprised.
Her beautiful eyes suddenly showed a sense of yearning: "I also really imagine you like this, going out to travel around the world, practicing like Sanxian while comprehending the world. It's a pity that my father won't let me go out, saying that there are too many bad people on the road.
Many, you are afraid that I will be deceived and deceived. Alas, I am really meaningless in this poor place like Maplewood City."
Xia Chen smiled slightly: "Second Miss Bingxue is smart and talented. When you succeed in cultivation, the master of the family will naturally let you out. It's only a matter of time."
Li Qitong suddenly smiled like a crescent moon and patted Xia Chen on the shoulder: "Xiao Chenzi, you are really good at talking. I like it. Follow me and work hard. When I travel around the world and fight with swords in the world, you will do it."
My follower, if I succeed in cultivation, you will also benefit from it!"
Xiao Chenzi...Xia Chen's mouth twitched, thinking that this name was not very good, as it seemed to be suspected of entering the palace.
"Third Young Master, I found it. It was that little beast that beat me!" Suddenly, an angry voice came from afar.
Xia Chen and Li Qitong were startled when they saw a young man wearing luxurious clothes approaching quickly, surrounded by five or six servants.
Next to the young man, two servants had their heads wrapped with gauze. Their heads were covered with blood, as if they were seriously injured. It was the servant of the Yang family who had been hit with a silver coin by Xia Chen just now, and looked at Xia Chen with angry eyes.
The young man had a dignified face, gorgeous clothes, but a pair of eyes with a sinister gaze. Beside him, there were two burly men with expressionless faces standing, looking powerful as they moved around.
Li Qitong's face changed, and she whispered, "Xiao Chenzi, trouble is coming. This guy is the second young master of the Yang family, named Yang Quan. His cultivation level is not very good, but those two disciples are the first level of cultivation.
, named Xu He and Xu Bing, they must be here for revenge."
Xia Chen nodded. Unexpectedly, the Yang family moved very quickly and found him.
