When Ye Qing returned to the inn, everyone in Merchant Fort was waiting for him.
"Brother Ye, you are back. Are you in trouble?"
Shang Rou was the first to speak.
"No, I went out to buy some things."
Ye Qing smiled.
When Shang Zhentian saw the conversation between the two young men, he smiled slightly and said, "Ye Qing, thanks to you this time. I won't say anything else. If anything happens in the future, I, Merchant Castle, will have nothing to say."
Seeing Shang Zhentian's serious look, Ye Qing smiled and said: "Master Shang's Castle, you're too polite. If there is no quota for Shang's Castle, I won't be able to participate in the competition. Needless to say, everyone is already one of our own."
Hearing this, Shang Zhentian laughed and said: "That's good, it's lunch time, let's go in."
So a group of people sat in the inn.
This inn is very large, and it was very lively inside during lunch time. There were all kinds of people chatting about their experiences.
Everyone in Merchant Fort found an empty seat to sit down, and there were many strangers eating and chatting around them.
"Brother, do you know the Wu Chamber of Commerce? I heard that a mysterious force wiped out the family the day before yesterday. No one in the family was left alive, except the eldest daughter of the Wu family. I guess it was because those people were greedy for beauty, so
…”
Ye Qing happened to be sitting behind that person, and when he heard these words, his expression changed drastically.
Huo De stood up, picked up the man, and asked sharply: "Is what you just said true?"
Ye Qing was furious in his heart and failed to control his Yuan Power. The captured person suddenly felt a sea-like pressure that made him breathless.
Seeing this, Ye Qing let go slightly and controlled Yuanli.
"Brother, I...I have also heard about it, but...it should...should be true."
The man stammered and looked at Ye Qing nervously.
Ye Qing knew that he was a little impulsive, so he let the man go and said, "I'm sorry."
"It's okay, it's okay." Then the man quietly escaped, probably because he was afraid that it would be unsafe to sit in that position.
"Ye Qing, what's wrong? Do you know the Wu Chamber of Commerce? I'll send someone to find out."
Shang Zhentian said.
Ye Qing nodded slightly and said, "I do know him, but I'm not too familiar with him yet."
After hearing the news, Ye Qing naturally had no intention of continuing to eat. Shangbao and others also ate some casually.
Not long after, the person who was sent to inquire came back.
"The Wu Chamber of Commerce was wiped out by a mysterious force the night before. More than 30 members of the family, including all the guards, were killed. Only Miss Wu is missing."
After hearing that the news was true, Ye Qing couldn't help but sigh and asked: "Has it been handled on site?"
"Young Master Ye, the Xishan Gate has already gone to deal with the matter and put all the murdered people to rest. The matter has been reported to the Lingcheng City Lord's Mansion, and it is said that the City Lord is already investigating."
After hearing this, Ye Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Please tell me if you have any new news."
Then he said to Shang Zhentian: "I'm going out for a walk first, and there are still some things I didn't buy all in the morning."
Walking on the busy street, Ye Qing couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts.
"Sure enough, it is a cruel world. Only strong strength can survive better."
Thinking about it, Ye Qing unknowingly walked to the door of the shop that sold animal skins. He thought of the first time he came to Lingcheng, when he was just a little warrior.
Suddenly, Ye Qing felt a wave of energy coming from the material store, and it was extremely unstable.
"Is anyone doing anything inside? Lingcheng has clear regulations that no fighting is allowed in the shop."
This is to protect the shops here. After all, each shop has to pay a certain amount of rent to the city lord's palace, and the city lord's palace naturally wants to protect the interests of the shop owners.
Ye Qing stepped in.
I saw two people dressed as adventurers standing in the store, and one of them was holding a knife to the neck of a little girl.
"Little one, where is the armor from yesterday? I promised to keep it until today, but why is it gone today?"
The adventurer with the knife said.
"I said yesterday that if you want to make a reservation, you need to pay a deposit first. If you don't want to pay the deposit, I naturally have no obligation to keep it for you."
The little girl said without fear.
"This is Ling City. The city lord has stipulated that the use of force is prohibited in the shops, otherwise he will be killed without mercy. You are blatantly not taking the city lord seriously."
After hearing what the little girl said, the knife-wielding adventurer said: "Even if I kill you, no one will see it. Since you are not afraid of death, I will help you."
Those adventurers themselves are wandering on the edge of life and death all day long, how can they be restricted by a rule. After that, they will cut them off with a knife.
bite!
The broadsword broke in response, and the man's hand holding the knife kept trembling. The tiger's mouth had cracked, and blood flowed down his wrist.
"Two grown men bullying a little girl here really embarrasses us men. There is no need to keep your cultivation level."
It was Ye Qing who took action to save the little girl.
As soon as he finished speaking, before the two adventurers could fully react, they saw the person who was still at the door suddenly appear in front of them.
The two of them felt their whole bodies go limp, and then they heard a sound of bursting meridians in their bodies, and they passed out.
Ye Qing originally wanted to buy some materials, so naturally he would not sit idly by when something like this happened. He directly shot and shattered the meridians of the two people, making them unable to practice Yuanli for life, and they became a useless person.
"Hey! It's you."
The little girl showed no fear at all, but instead shouted to Ye Qing in surprise.
"Haha, long time no see, are you okay?"
Ye Qing smiled and said, Ye Qing still has a good impression of this enthusiastic little girl. She had helped him before, and Ye Qing always remembered it.
"Why are you here? Do you want to buy something?"
the little girl said happily.
Suddenly he realized Ye Qing's previous skills, and then said: "Your cultivation has improved so fast, I didn't even see how you took action."
"Aren't you afraid they will kill you?"
Ye Qing said doubtfully.
"Afraid! But it's useless to be afraid. I'll face it calmly. This is what my father said."
The little girl said, then her brows lowered, showing a depressed look.
"What's wrong? I want to ask about weapon refining today."
Ye Qing patted the little girl on the shoulder and said.
"Oh, then you asked the right person. My father is a weapon refiner, but he only knows how to refine weapons all day long and doesn't care about me."
After hearing the girl's words, Ye Qing immediately knew why she suddenly felt depressed.
Then he took out an alphabet soul chasing dart and placed it in front of the girl.
There is nothing special about the appearance of the Zimu Soul Chasing Dart. Only when the dart is shot using a special technique can it have that kind of fatal power.
"Let's see if your father can help me build some of these darts. Use the best materials. The more, the better. Money is not an issue."
Looking at Ye Qing's son-in-law soul-chasing dart, the girl pondered for a moment and said: "No problem, I will let my father make it with the best materials and come to pick it up in two days."
Talking about business matters, the girl suddenly became proficient.
Looking at the two people lying on the ground, Ye Qing was about to say something, but was rejected by the girl with a wave of her hand.
"I can ask the guards to handle it. There is an alarm here. They should be here soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people walked in from the door. Ye Qing turned around and saw that they were the Lingcheng security team.
