Chapter 3
Xiao Chen’s words were very sincere, and there was a hint of shyness on his young face, which indicated that he was a young man who was inexperienced with the world.
He wore a coarse beast skin robe. His skin was rough, and there were calluses on his hands. There was a faint odor on his body because he hadn’t bathed for a long time.
He wasn’t a disciple of a great family, and he was alone and didn’t know the ways of the world. He was powerful and talented. He was an unpolished jade that hadn’t been carved.
Grandma Liu realized that she had picked up a treasure. If such a genius were to be roped into the Su family and nurtured with all their might, the Su family might have a Blood Bear realm or even a Purple Elephant realm expert in a few years. The Su family could also rely on this youth to glory for a hundred years.
Grandma Liu’s smile became even wider. She pouted at the Su family’s young mistress and said, “Xiao Chen, do this old woman a favor and meet my young mistress?”
Xiao Chen scratched his head and said with some shame, “Old granny, I think I’d better not meet her.”
Grandma Liu asked doubtfully, “Why?
My young mistress isn’t a tiger. ”
Xiao Chen was even more embarrassed. He lowered his head and said, “Grandpa said that all the young women at the foot of the mountain are poisonous, and beautiful women are even more poisonous. He told me to be careful.”
“Haha!”
Grandma Liu laughed so hard that her body trembled. She sighed with emotion. What an interesting little fellow!
She casually patted Xiao Chen’s shoulder and said, “Alright, I’ll get someone to arrange a carriage for you. When we reach Blood Sun City, I’ll treat you to the best dishes and wine.”
“Great!” Xiao Chen’s eyes lit up, and he grinned again.
…
The caravan quickly set off again. This time, they had lost eight or nine horses and a few carriages, but they had gained the corpses of ten blood wolves.
Although it was getting late, the smell of blood would attract more wild beasts. The caravan that traveled in the periphery of the wasteland naturally wouldn’t make such a low-level mistake.
Xiao Chen’s treatment was obviously improved. The guards were driven out to walk, and a separate carriage was vacated for him.
The guards didn’t have any objections to this. Instead, they looked at the carriage with a trace of awe and jealousy.
Almost everyone on the Wilderness Deity Continent practiced martial arts. All adult men could reach the first tier of the Azure Bull Realm. Those who could cultivate to the Black Panther Realm were experts.
If ordinary martial artists wanted to cultivate to the White Tiger Realm, they would need to have very good talent and strong willpower. Of course, it would be easier if they had the full support of a large family clan.
Xiao Chen was born in the Great Wilderness and wore a beast skin robe. It was obvious that he was born poor, but his strength was unbelievably strong. From a beggar to a genius, it would be strange if he didn’t attract the jealousy of others.
The caravan advanced in silence. That intelligent and beautiful young lady did not appear again. Grandma Liu remained in the young lady’s carriage, as if she had forgotten about Xiao Chen.
When the sky was completely dark, the caravan once again found a place to rest.
Setting up tents, setting up traps, arranging for people to be on guard and treating the injured, the guards busied themselves.
Grandma Liu got off the young miss’s carriage and walked straight into the carriage that Xiao Chen was in. She didn’t say anything and only said a few words of concern before turning around and leaving.
…
The night was as cold as water. Xiao Chen, who was in the carriage, didn’t feel sleepy at all. He sat cross-legged on the carriage and patted the yellow dog that was sleeping soundly. He gazed in the direction of the Great Wilderness through the window, his pure eyes filled with worry.
The yellow dog’s sleep was disturbed, so it opened its eyes impatiently. However, it turned its head around and closed its eyes again to sleep.
Xiao Chen glanced at the yellow dog and sighed. “Da Huang, do you think Grandpa will be too lonely in the mountains?”
The yellow dog still didn’t raise its head. It only whimpered casually as a response to Xiao Chen’s words.
“Grandpa, don’t worry. Little Chen will definitely help you find the Dragonheart Grass. Wait for my return!”
A hint of determination appeared in Xiao Chen’s eyes. After muttering this sentence, he placed his hands on his knees and closed his eyes to meditate.
Only then did the yellow dog raise its head and glance indifferently at Xiao Chen before closing its eyes and continuing to sleep.
The next day, before the sky was completely bright, the guards woke up and started cooking. They even specially fetched two buckets of water from a few kilometers away for the young miss to wash up. They even sent half a bucket of water to Xiao Chen.
The guards sent a large plate of roasted Bloody Wolf meat to Xiao Chen, but Xiao Chen didn’t eat much of it. Instead, most of it was eaten by his yellow dog.
After breakfast, the caravan quickly set off towards the east. Although many low-level guards walked on foot, they followed closely behind the carriages as if they were flying.
After four to six hours of travel, the terrain in front of them began to level off. The guards quickened their pace, and their faces were filled with joy and ease.
Xiao Chen stopped meditating and sat in the carriage, looking around curiously. He looked at the flat official road and the small village in the distance. His pure eyes sparkled, as if everything was so fresh and interesting.
The road home was always so smooth and straight.
The caravan galloped all the way with billowing smoke and dust. They didn’t stop to eat or rest at noon. Before sunset, they finally arrived at their final destination, Blood Sun City!
This area was the territory of the God Exterminator Tribe. Blood Sun City wasn’t big. It was just a small city in the western part of the God Exterminator Tribe.
Although it was a small city, the moss on the city wall and the spots on the city gate still proved the vicissitudes of the city.
Everyone in the caravan of Su Family had a trace of smile on their faces when they saw the familiar city. It felt so good to be home.
There were guards at the city gate, and there were also civilians going in and out of the city. But when they saw the flag hanging on the first carriage, all of them showed a look of awe.
As the richest family in Blood Sun City, the Su Family had established its status and prestige over a hundred years.
Not only were there guards at the city gate, but there was also a young master dressed in embroidered robes with two servants. When he saw the caravan rushing over, the handsome young master hurriedly got off his horse to welcome them. He said anxiously, “Cousin, you are finally back. I was worried to death!”
“Greetings, Young Master Ning!”
Su Jianfei quickly dismounted and saluted. The guards behind him also looked at the young Young Master with respect.
But the Young Master’s attention was obviously not on the crowd. His eyes were fixed on the luxurious carriage with fiery eyes.
“Cousin, I’m tired. Let’s go back first.”
The beautiful lady in the carriage didn’t walk out of the carriage. She just said lightly. The young Young Master’s eyes dimmed, but he immediately smiled and said, “Yes, yes!
Let’s go back to the Su Residence! ”
The caravan quickly rushed into the city. Xiao Chen, who was sitting in the carriage at the back, had his eyes even brighter. He almost leaned on the window and looked around curiously.
He looked at the wide streets, neat buildings, countless stalls, and the endless flow of carriages and people.
His face was full of curiosity and excitement, and there was a trace of nervousness. He didn’t look like a powerful warrior who could kill Blood Wolf, but more like an innocent child.
“Squeak!”
The carriage stopped in front of a mansion. The beautiful Su Clan’s Young Lady got off the carriage with the help of an old woman. She nodded slightly to the attentive Young Master Ning and the servants outside the mansion.
Young Master Ning looked at the petite figure in front of him and revealed a trace of heartache in his eyes. He sighed and said, “Cousin, you’ve lost weight!
Your Su Clan is really something. Why do you have such a strange rule for first time merchants?
Quickly go in. Uncle-in-law has already prepared a banquet to welcome you. ”
Young Master Ning bent over to support Young Lady Su. Unexpectedly, Young Lady Su shrunk her body slightly and dodged without leaving a trace.
She didn’t pay attention to Young Master Ning and didn’t enter the door. Instead, under everyone’s astonished gaze, she walked to the last carriage and bowed. “Young Master Xiao, this is Qingyi’s home. Please get off the carriage and have a cup of wine so that Qingyi can express her gratitude.”
“Young Master Xiao?”
Young Master Ning’s eyes turned sharp. The corner of his mouth twitched. The baleful aura from his body made the servants at the side shrink their necks.
It had been more than ten years. Ever since he knew Young Lady Su, he had never seen her so courteous and sincere to a man …
The curtain in the carriage was pulled open. Xiao Chen walked out with the yellow dog. His eyes were already calm and didn’t have the childlike curiosity from before.
He first grinned at Grandma Liu before looking at Young Lady Su indifferently. He said indifferently, “I’m not Young Master. You can call me Xiao Chen.”
Young Lady Su was stunned. She nodded and made an inviting gesture. “Young Master Xiao, you should be older than Qingyi, right?
I’ll call you Big Brother Xiao. Big Brother Xiao, please! ”
Xiao Chen walked towards the door silently. Before he reached the door, a figure blocked his way.
Young Master Ning’s eyes were spitting fire. He stared at Xiao Chen and said in a deep voice, “Big Brother Xiao?
Cousin, who is he? ”
Xiao Chen frowned slightly. Young Lady Su’s beautiful eyes suddenly turned cold. She said in an incomparably cold tone, “Cousin Ning, please pay attention to your identity. Big Brother Xiao is a guest invited by me.”
“Guest?”
Young Master Ning felt the coldness in Young Lady Su’s words. He didn’t have any intention of backing down. Instead, he sneered. He stared at Young Lady Su and said in a cold voice, “I’ve been at your beck and call for your well-being for many years. Today, when I learned that you were coming back, I waited for you at the city gate for an entire day. Yet, you didn’t even look me in the eye?
Now, you call a little beggar Big Brother Xiao?
Qingyi, am I not even comparable to a little beggar in your eyes? ”
Facing Young Master Ning’s questioning and seeing his twisted face, Young Lady Su was obviously flustered. She said in a low voice, “Cousin, can we talk about this later?
Don’t make a fool of yourself in front of the guest. ”
Seeing Young Lady Su’s pleading eyes, Young Master Ning felt an indescribable sense of pleasure. He looked at Xiao Chen and sneered, “Guest?
What kind of guest is he?
Carrying a wooden sword and pretending to be an expert?
No matter how I look, I look like a beggar. ”
After being called a beggar a few times, Xiao Chen’s expression didn’t change much. He just raised his brows impatiently and said, “Can you be a little more polite with your words?
Didn’t your family teach you to be polite to others? ”
“Bah …”
Young Master Ning’s mouth moved. Just as he wanted to continue cursing, his pupils suddenly shrank.
He saw Xiao Chen’s body move. His speed was as fast as a gust of wind. A hand reached out like lightning and grabbed his neck before he could react. Xiao Chen suddenly lifted him up, causing his body to float in mid-air.
After Xiao Chen made his move, his expression still didn’t have any change. However, his eyes had turned icy cold. He lifted his head and looked at Young Master Ning who was being grabbed by the neck. He spoke faintly, “If you dare to insult me again, I will kill you.”
“You …”
Young Master Ning flew into a rage. However, looking at those eyes, he couldn’t say a word. Instead, he felt as if he was immersed in ice water in winter.
He had seen this kind of gaze before. It was exactly the same as when a Purple Image Realm expert killed hundreds of people in Long Yao City five years ago. He believed that Xiao Chen would really kill someone.
The servants at the door were in an uproar. Su Jianfei and the group of guards at the back looked at each other and were secretly shocked again.
This Young Master Ning was at the peak of the Black Panther Realm. How could he be taken down in one move?
The proud and arrogant him didn’t even dare to let out a fart when he was humiliated like this?
“Brother Xiao, my cousin is not sensible. Please don’t mind him.” Miss Su’s eyes also revealed a trace of surprise as she spoke with some shame.
Grandma Liu, who was next to her, hurriedly mediated, “Xiao Chen, give me some face and let it go.”
Xiao Chen didn’t seem to hear Miss Su’s words. It wasn’t until Grandma Liu spoke that he casually threw Young Master Ning aside.
His eyes quickly regained their calmness. He glanced at Grandma Liu and said indifferently, “My grandfather also said that if someone treats you badly, you should pay them back tenfold!”
