The old man's words made Lao Jiu's expression suddenly darken, and Yang Chen suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. Is it really that difficult to leave Huaicheng?
Lao Jiu also said just now that the old man on the boat was either an ordinary person without any martial arts training, or a being stronger than him, and Lao Jiu was more inclined to the latter.
In other words, the old man dressed in ordinary clothes in front of him is very likely to be a strong man in the ninth realm of transcendence.
Lao Jiu is only at the peak of the Eighth Extraordinary Realm. If the old man in front of him is really that strong, they are no match at all.
"In that case, we have no choice but to borrow your boat!"
Lao Jiu said with a vigilant expression, and then said to Yang Chen: "You guys get on the boat!"
Yang Chen didn't say anything and was about to board the boat with Huai Lan.
The old man still had that smile on his face and said, "Are you planning to rob my ship? Isn't this inappropriate?"
Lao Jiu casually threw a jade pendant to the old man and said, "This green dragon jade pendant is enough for you to buy tens of thousands of these boats."
After saying that, he turned around and wanted to get on the boat.
However, as soon as he turned around, the old man disappeared from the spot and stood in front of Lao Jiu almost instantly.
Until this moment, Lao Jiu was finally convinced that the old man with an unattractive appearance in front of him was indeed a strong man who was hiding deep inside.
Yang Chen's complexion was also pale. Is he really a person in the Nine Extraordinary Realms?
"What? Isn't it enough?"
Lao Jiu raised his eyebrows, his fighting spirit was released, and there was still a strong fighting spirit in his eyes.
The old man said with a smile: "It's not that it's not enough, it's that it's too much and I can't find it."
Lao Jiu said coldly: "There is no need to look for it, I will give the extra to you as a gift."
The old man shook his head: "No! My boat is worth a hundred yuan at most, so I'll give you ninety-nine yuan."
After saying that, the old man threw the valuable Qinglong Jade Pendant to Lao Jiu.
The moment the green dragon jade pendant broke away from the old man's hand, it came with a terrifying momentum. Lao Jiu stretched out his hand to catch it, but felt that his whole arm was numb, and the hand that caught the jade pendant felt a dull pain.
"I have one hundred yuan here, so just think of it as buying this boat."
Huai Lan took out a hundred-yuan bill at any time and handed it to the old man.
But the old man shook his head and said with a smile: "I said ninety-nine yuan, that's ninety-nine yuan, not a penny more, not a penny less, otherwise, we won't sell it!"
Huai Lan and Yang Chen looked at each other. It wasn't that they had no money, but they couldn't come up with ninety-nine yuan. The old man was obviously making things difficult for them.
Lao Jiu looked terribly gloomy and said in a cold voice: "Do I have to buy this boat?"
The old man smiled: "No one can take away what I don't sell."
"In that case, I'm offended!"
After Lao Jiu finished speaking, a terrifying martial arts aura filled the air from his body.
He took a step forward, raised his hand and struck out with a palm, attacking the old man directly.
Seeing that Lao Jiu's blow was about to land on the old man's chest, in the midst of lightning and flint, the old man suddenly raised an arm and swung out the same palm.
It seemed to be swung at random, and the surrounding space seemed to be distorted.
"Bang!"
The next second, the palms of the two collided with each other. There was a loud noise, and Lao Jiu's body suddenly retreated seven or eight steps.
On the other hand, the old man stood firmly on the spot without moving even half a step. He still had the smile on his face. He looked at Lao Jiu who was repelled by him and said: "Young man, if you have something to say, don't do anything."
alright."
The old man's words about young people almost made Lao Jiu vomit blood.
Lao Jiu seemed to be an old man in his sixties or seventies, but the old man said that Lao Jiu was a young man.
Huai Lan suddenly looked shocked and said: "He is Jiang Chengzi, the emperor of Huaicheng Mansion, and the teacher of Lord Huaicheng!"
As soon as these words came out, Yang Chen and Lao Jiu's expressions changed drastically.
Who would have thought that the ordinary-dressed old man in front of him would actually be the teacher of Lord Huai City.
The Lord of Huai City is already a strong man at the peak of the Nine Extraordinary Realms, so how strong will the old man in front of him be as his teacher?
Jiang Chengzi looked at Huai Lan with a smile, and suddenly said with a bit of self-deprecation: "I didn't expect that there are still people in this world who know my former identity. However, everything has become a thing of the past, and I am no longer a Huaicheng Mansion."
My imperial master is just a fisherman."
From Jiang Chengzi's words, Yang Chen felt a bit of sadness, but what made him feel lucky was that judging from Jiang Chengzi's words, he had broken away from the Huaicheng Mansion.
He was somewhat self-deprecating about the fact that he was once the emperor's master of Huaicheng Mansion.
Obviously, something unpleasant must have happened between Jiang Chengzi and Lord Huai City.
After Lao Jiu came back to his senses, he looked at Jiang Chengzi solemnly, bowed, and said, "It turns out to be senior Jiang Chengzi. Miao Jiu was just rude."
Jiang Chengzi smiled and waved his hand: "No problem! How is City Lord Miao doing lately?"
Lao Jiu said quickly: "The city lord is in good health, and he often misses you, senior. Before I come to Huai City this time, the city lord told me that if I meet you, senior, I must take him to say hello to you."
"Ha ha!"
Jiang Chengzi laughed, stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "Excuse me, City Master Miao, for your concern!"
Yang Chen and Huai Lan were both stunned. Neither of them expected that City Master Miao actually knew Jiang Chengzi. According to Lao Jiu, City Master Miao also respected Jiang Chengzi very much.
Lao Jiu then said: "Senior, can you please let us leave for the sake of Lord Miao City?"
Jiang Chengzi smiled and shook his head: "Since you know who I am, you should know that I, Jiang Chengzi, will never break my promise in my life. The reason why I can stay here safe and sound is because I promised Lord Huai,
I will never do anything detrimental to Huaicheng in this life."
"Since you are the ones left by the Lord Huaicheng, I will naturally not let you leave on my boat."
Lao Jiu turned pale for a moment, looked at Jiang Chengzi and begged: "Senior, can't you be accommodating?"
Jiang Chengzi shook his head: "No!"
Yang Chen said at this time: "Senior Jiang, since you said you can't let us leave on your boat, does that mean that as long as we can leave by other means, you won't stop us?"
Jiang Chengzi looked at Yang Chen with a smile and said, "You're a very smart boy. That's right. As long as you don't need to leave in my boat, I won't meddle in other people's business."
Yang Chen said: "In that case, I would like to thank Senior Jiang!"
After listening to Yang Chen's words, Lao Jiu and Huai Lan also looked at Yang Chen with puzzled faces, wondering what else he could do to cross the Huaihe River.
Just when they were all confused, Yang Chen directly boarded Jiang Chengzi's boat.
