Chapter 0006: Yan Zhendong of the Iron Cloth Shirt from the Northeast

Ye Xuan was not interested in seeking pleasure or paying attention to the calls of the young women trying to attract customers above his head; instead, he focused his attention on a restaurant across the street.

"You are too modest, senior." Ye Xuan smiled slightly, handing the cloth bag containing the red southern flowers to the person holding the umbrella. He then took out three silver dollars from his pocket and offered them, saying, "It seems that you are facing some difficulties, senior. This is a small token of my appreciation, and I hope you will accept it."

"No, that is not the case." Realizing he had misspoken, Ye Xuan quickly shook his head and added, "Senior, please do not refer to me as 'young master.' I am not a young master; my name is Ye Xuan, just an unknown individual."

There is no need to wait for the senior brother, Master, I can go myself. Ye Xuan smiled slightly and was about to go buy medicine

Boom! Boom!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Until we meet again! Yan Zhendong clasped his fists and cupped his hands, standing in the rain as he watched Ye Xuan walk away with an umbrella.

The strong man pushed with both hands, his muscles bulging like blocks of stone, and a loud cracking sound of bones echoed throughout his body. Veins bulged on his forehead as he suddenly stepped forward with his left foot, and the two gun barrels pressed against his neck surprisingly did not pierce his skin; instead, the gun barrels bent downwards as if struck by immense force.

Holding an umbrella and carrying a southern red flower, Ye Xuan walked in the rain with a gloomy mood. Suddenly, Ye Xuan's footsteps came to a halt in front of a brothel.

Hehe! Hearing Yan Zhendong's call, Ye Xuan smiled helplessly. As he watched the rain getting heavier, he felt it was not appropriate to stay any longer. He clasped his fists and cupped his hands, saying: "The rain is getting heavier, I have matters to attend to, I will take my leave now. I hope to meet you again in the future."

If it were an ordinary person, they would surely think that the street performer was merely using some tricks for entertainment, deceiving the common folk out of their money. However, Ye Xuan had been practicing martial arts for a few months. Although the time was short, he had developed a keen eye that was somewhat different from that of ordinary people, and he noticed that the long spear on the neck of the middle-aged man above was definitely real

Ding! Congratulations, you have gained 30% favorability with Yan Zhendong

Clang! Clang clang! --

Oh, it's nothing. The safflower for the ointment suddenly ran out. I was planning to ask A Kai to buy some.

"Senior, money is the courage of heroes. As practitioners of martial arts, we regard ourselves as heroes and great figures. How can we be so petty as to hesitate over a few coins? If you truly do not wish to accept my humble intention, then consider it a fee for the privilege of witnessing your extraordinary skills just now." Ye Xuan, seeing the expression on the middle-aged man's face, could only emphasize his words more strongly.

The onlookers in the restaurant threw out their tips, and the middle-aged man quickly crouched down to pick them up, only to find that they were all copper coins. The total amount was not even enough to buy the two long spears he had just broken, which made him let out a disappointed sigh

Fortunately, I listened to my master and took an umbrella! Ye Xuan smiled slightly, opened the oilcloth umbrella in his hand, and walked into the rain

"Hmm, here, take the money!" Huang Feihong quickly took out a string of copper coins from his pocket to hand to Ye Xuan as he saw him about to leave

Thank you, five copper coins for one yuan, you can just give one yuan.

"Good! I, Yan Zhendong from Shandong, thank you, young master, for this." The middle-aged man, upon hearing Ye Xuan's words, raised his eyebrows, reached out to take the three silver dollars from Ye Xuan's hand, and clasped his fists in salute.

It seems like it's going to rain, remember to bring an umbrella! Huang Feihong did not insist, smiling as he watched Ye Xuan run away, observing the flickering lightning in the sky, as summer in the south is often accompanied by thunderstorms, he reminded loudly

"Alas, a woman who is not at home all day, what does that look like?" Huang Feihong furrowed his brows, sighed, and shook his head. He then turned to Ye Xuan and asked, "Where are Asu and Akai?"

In the midst of a torrential downpour, a middle-aged man stands bare-chested, with his braid coiled around his neck. He bites down on a piece of rag, while the shafts of two long spears rest against the threshold of a restaurant, with the tips of the spears pressing against the man's neck.

The middle-aged man looked at the three silver coins in Ye Xuan's palm, feeling a mix of rejection and acceptance in his heart. He clenched and then relaxed his fist, his eyes filled with a struggle.

"Senior, excellent skills!" Ye Xuan said with admiration as he approached the middle-aged man.

Ye Xuan did not accept the money offered by Huang Feihong. Having been here for a few months, Ye Xuan understood that Huang Feihong's life was not actually easy; with a meager income, he had to support such a large medical clinic and often treated the poor for free. When Ye Xuan arrived in this world, the system had prepared one hundred silver dollars and one hundred silver jiao for him. One silver dollar is equivalent to ten silver jiao, and one silver jiao is worth one hundred copper coins. At this time, the price of goods was three copper coins for a steamed bun.

Just as the middle-aged man stood up to tidy up the broken gun barrel, which had been shattered into four pieces, he saw a young man approaching him, holding an umbrella in one hand and carrying a cloth bag in the other.

Ye Xuan took out a silver dollar from his pocket and handed it over, then picked up the southern red flower that the shopkeeper had passed to him and was about to leave.

Ye Xuan had been at Baozhilin for quite some time, essentially eating and living there, with little opportunity to spend money. Over the course of several months, he had not spent a single silver coin. He had considered giving this money to Huang Feihong, but unfortunately, Huang Feihong insisted on not accepting it. In the end, he could only keep it for himself and leave it at Baozhilin when he departed.

Ye Xuan walked several streets and arrived at the largest Fushan Pharmacy nearby. He said to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, please weigh out ten pounds of South Red Flower for me."

Oh, Master, it seems that Aunt Thirteen mentioned that Boss Zhang from the theater troupe asked her to help take photos for the new play, for promotional purposes

The system did not respond at all, and Ye Xuan was on the verge of losing his mind. He thought long and hard, realizing that he did not know anyone named Yan Zhendong in this world. Damn it, how can I gain his favor if I don't even know him? How can I increase my favorability when I don't even know him? Ye Xuan began to suspect that this system had just been struck by lightning.

Understood, Master! Ye Xuan picked up the oilcloth umbrella placed by the door and strode towards the pharmacy

No need, Master, I have money

Suddenly, several thunderclaps echoed in the sky, followed by a torrential downpour, transforming the entire world into a realm of rain

"A mere trivial skill, hardly worth mentioning!" said the middle-aged man, bowing with humility, yet his face was full of confident expression

The middle-aged man exerted force once more, and the gun barrel emitted two crisp sounds; the two gun barrels were broken in half from the middle, turning into four pieces that fell onto the street

"Young master, have you heard of my name?" Yan Zhendong looked at Ye Xuan in astonishment

Ding! System task: Achieve at least 50% favorability with Yan Zhendong. (Time: Before the movie ends, successful completion rewards 3000 cultivation points, failure deducts 1500 cultivation points)

This restaurant is nothing special; what is remarkable is a middle-aged man who is currently performing in front of the restaurant.

"The two senior brothers just went to Uncle Zhang's house to collect herbs. Master, is there something you need?" Ye Xuan asked curiously as he organized the herbs.

Hearing the system voice in his mind, Ye Xuan suddenly paused, standing in the rain as he asked the system: Who is Yan Zhendong

"Ah Xuan, where has Aunt Thirteen gone? After finishing the meal, she disappeared without a trace," Huang Feihong said as he lifted the cloth curtain and walked out of the pharmacy, noticing someone bending down to gather the herbs that were spread out on the ground to dry.

"What, are you Yan Zhendong?" Upon hearing the words of the middle-aged man, Ye Xuan exclaimed in surprise

So it turns out to be Young Master Ye! Yan Zhendong clasped his fists and bowed, indeed, with just one move, he presented three silver dollars, which firmly established in Yan Zhendong's mind that Ye Xuan was the son of a wealthy family
