Chapter Six, The Beggar Who Stole Silver

At this moment, Duan Xu saw a group of small children dressed in tattered clothes in the temple, or rather, a group of little beggars

So soon

On his way here, he had seen a dilapidated temple a few miles outside of Rock City. Now, with no money to his name, he had no choice but to spend the night at that broken temple

Is there still this rule?" Duan Xu frowned

At this thought, Duan Xu couldn't help but clench his fists

Duan Xu was wandering around the city, preparing to inquire about information regarding the 'Lingyin Gate' while also purchasing some items for entering the mountains

Now he has reverted to being that penniless wretch, and he is also ravenously hungry

However, Duan Xu paid no attention; he merely paused slightly when his hand touched the beggar's chest.

However, now that Duan Xu has finally found him, how could he possibly let him escape so easily

Although Duan Xu felt displeased, he was able to understand the situation. However, just as he was about to pay, he discovered that his money pouch was missing

Let me go

The beggar was also taken aback, not expecting that the guy he had bumped into during the day would find his way here

The hatred of family enmity cannot coexist under the same sky; although some interest was retrieved in advance, it ultimately cannot relieve Duan Xu's deep-seated resentment.

Who was that person just now in the picture book, and why were they so reckless

Duan Xu widened his eyes; he could be considered an old hand in the world of flowers. In an instant, he understood what was going on and instinctively squeezed a couple more times.

What do you want to do

Only by becoming an immortal can one truly stand out and possess sufficient strength to avenge one's parents

Moments later, Duan Xu was ruthlessly chased out by the shop assistant, his face turning pale with anger

Young Master Qiu, Yan City has already arrived

Oh dear, how can this be? Young Master Qiu, you are truly too courteous!

Well, you thief, so you are here; it truly is a narrow road for enemies!

You have truly worked hard along this journey

He looked up and saw a frail beggar dressed in coarse cloth, wearing a tattered old hat, making a face at him before running off into the distance

The manager's surname is Wang. Although he verbally expresses his reluctance, his hands are not slow at all. He weighs the amount of silver, and a smile nearly blooms on his wrinkled old face.

The beggar who had stealthily taken his silver coins at the entrance of the tavern during the day is among them, and at this moment is distributing some steamed buns to the group of little beggars

He lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked outside, and indeed saw a magnificent city. His face immediately brightened, and he stepped out of the carriage

Duan Xu spoke up, stating that he had come to this tavern to inquire about news of the Immortal Sect. After all, the tavern was crowded with people from all walks of life, and perhaps someone there might know something about the Immortal Sect.

Behind him, the waiter at the restaurant was furious and chased after him for quite a while but ultimately could not catch up, and in the end, he could only return to the restaurant cursing and grumbling

The steward of the caravan approached the carriage in which Duan Xu was riding and said with a smile

He immediately embraced the beggar and angrily exclaimed, "You thief, return my silver!"

The journey was far from smooth, as the caravan encountered several incidents of bandit raids. A full third of the caravan's members perished along the way. Fortunately, the caravan was filled with skilled individuals, and Duan Xu's wealth also played a significant role, allowing them to survive.

"Next time I see you, I will break your legs!"

The caravan to which Duan Xu belongs is a group of itinerant merchants from Yun Jing

Alright, young master, I have plenty of money

Bang

This is precisely the place that Duan Xu is heading to

The beggar roared, but his voice sounded somewhat off

And that damned beggar actually dared to steal my money from hetushu.com

The caravan is named 'Wanbao Zhai'. According to the caravan's muleteer, Wanbao Zhai is currently one of the largest trading associations in the State of Chu, and the headquarters of Wanbao Zhai in the Yun realm is located in Yancheng

After all, the surname Duan is quite conspicuous in Pingcheng, and he does not wish to be taken to the lord's mansion for a reward after revealing his true name

As the name suggests, it refers to a caravan that traverses the various cities of the Cloud Realm, primarily profiting from the acquisition and resale of goods

Alright, however... esteemed guest, this establishment requires payment in advance." The shop assistant winked at Duan Xu

Bring me a plate of braised beef and a good pot of wine while you're at it

Time passed swiftly, and half a month gradually went by. The convoy finally arrived at Duan Xu's destination—Yan City

Just as he was about to enter a restaurant to gather information, he was suddenly collided with by a figure, which sent him flying out.

It is settled, the mountains are high and the waters are distant, we shall meet again in the future

Duan Xu smiled and patted Manager Wang on the shoulder, not lingering any longer, and proceeded into the city

As the sky darkened, Duan Xu had no choice but to leave Rock City

He is just a filthy beggar who came to my shop and stole a roasted chicken. If it weren't for the fact that I am quite busy today, I would definitely catch that filthy beggar and take him to the authorities!" The shop assistant said with a cold snort, then looked at Duan Xu and asked again, "Young master, what do you need?"

Duan Xu said, reaching out his hand directly into the beggar's collar, intending to feel out the hidden stolen goods.

Although he is in charge of the merchant caravan, this silver can indeed be pocketed, who would ever complain about having too much money

"Someone, catch the thief!"

steamed bun

Duan Xu was enraged, and he immediately understood that it must have been the beggar from earlier who had stolen the silver from his waist

Yancheng, located at the northernmost edge of Yunjing, is just beyond which lies a range of mountains

No... the steamed bun cannot be this elastic, is it... a rabbit

However, seeking revenge is not an easy task. Currently, the entire Pingcheng is under the control of the Song family, and the only option left is to go to the Xianmen and try one's luck.

However, this was not a concern. Duan Xu immediately noticed that his chest was pressed against two soft objects. He frowned and coldly snorted, "Indeed a thief, how could you hide so many things on your person? I, this young master, will definitely hand you over to the authorities today"

When the shopkeeper saw Duan Xu, his eyes immediately lit up, and he asked with a smile, "Sir, would you like to enter the wine house and have something to drink?"

Duan Xu furrowed his brows and asked, even now his shoulder still ached somewhat

The dilapidated temple is a full 8 li away from Yancheng, which is why there are usually not many people coming here to offer incense

Duan Xu stood on the carriage and stretched lazily, then jumped down from the carriage and casually handed a silver ingot to the steward, saying, "This silver ingot is a reward for you"

Yancheng is a city much larger than Pingcheng, bustling with various vendors, and the main street presents a scene of continuous traffic and activity

Rogue

A hint of terror appeared in the beggar's eyes as he attempted to struggle and break free from Duan Xu's control

Just at that moment when he was lost in thought, he was firmly caught by Duan Xu

He had learned from his father that there exists a celestial gate in this world, located among the mountains to the north of Yun境, which is why he intended to travel to Yan City this time

A thing that looks down on others with a dog-like gaze

There is no way, that filthy beggar just came in, ordered some dishes, and then ran off without paying!

... ...

Get lost, what are you pretending to be a big shot for without any money

Duan Xu was furious and directly walked over.

Qiu Song is the alias he used while in the caravan. Although the name is somewhat peculiar, no one paid it any mind
