"Hatch!"
Chen An sneezed violently several times!
"Damn it, it must be that woman scolding me!"
Chen An poked his nose twice, then looked at the dirty, cowardly old man and young boy in front of him.
The old man, judging by his normal age, was probably in his seventies or eighties, with gray hair. His body was always hunched, perhaps due to his long-term habit of hunching over, especially in front of that boy.
Obviously, this old man should be the young man's servant, and his appearance is very similar to that of the old man in Jiang Yan.
However, their cultivation levels were far behind. Even he, who was at the peak of the Xuanling Realm, could feel that this old man was also at the Xuanling Realm.
But Chen An felt strange that this old man was so old but had no stubble at all!
This guy has quite big eyes, huh! He should be considered a handsome guy, but... he's still a long way behind me!
The old man and the young man looked at Chen An, but seemed a little timid, as if they didn't know whether the man who had just saved them from danger had any other thoughts.
After all, they, one old and one young, seem too weak and can only be slaughtered.
There were more than a dozen men in black lying around. Chen An didn't want to kill so many people, but when he thought about it, if he left any alive, he would be in big trouble if he was accidentally seen by these guys in the future!
Of course, these guys really deserved to die. Look at those beautiful girls lying next to them. They were in the prime of their youth and fell in a pool of blood... What a pity!
The old man bowed and said, "Thank you, Young Master Chen, for saving me. May I ask your name, Young Master Chen?"
When the old man opened his mouth, his voice was extremely shrill, not at all as deep as a normal man's.
Chen An's eyes flashed, and he looked seriously at the old man and the boy who was surrounded by killers but didn't say a word from beginning to end, and seemed to be a bit stubborn.
He narrowed his eyes. This old man and this young boy seemed to be from a very important background!
Chen An opened his mouth and was about to say his name.
But when I thought about how famous Lu Hongyi was, I guess I would become famous too!
As soon as he thought of this, he said, "Chen Ping!"
The old man saluted again and said, "Thank you, Young Master Chen, for your help. I have a gold note worth ten thousand taels of gold to reward you, Young Master Chen!"
Chen An glanced at the boy who was wearing coarse clothes but had fair skin and long, neatly trimmed fingernails, and narrowed his eyes: "No!"
The old man's expression changed slightly, as if he was facing a great enemy. He used his body to block the boy and stared at Chen An closely.
Chen An chuckled: "It will cost more!"
The old man was stunned for a moment, as if he thought Chen An had other intentions and was complaining that the money was not enough.
This seemed to make the old man and the boy feel relieved.
Asking for money seems to be a good thing for them!
The old man asked cautiously, "Young Master Chen, can you name a price?"
Chen An counted them: "There are thirteen assassins here in total, and each of them is worth ten thousand taels of gold!"
The old man's expression froze: "Young man, isn't this too much?"
Chen An suddenly sighed: "I have no grudges against them, but now they died at my hands. Sigh... no matter what, I have to bear the consequences of this sin!"
Chen An looked at the old man: "Thirteen lives, is that too much?"
The old man swallowed his saliva. Even if he hired someone to kill someone, it wouldn't cost ten thousand taels of gold per person. Even the price on the black market was no more than a thousand taels of gold for a target like this!
The key point is... isn't this guy in the martial arts world who calls himself Chen Shaoxia the one who helps others when he sees injustice?
Why are people in the underworld so greedy for money!
The old man didn't seem willing to argue, so he nodded and said, "Young Master Chen, I will definitely give you 130,000 taels of gold. However... we don't have that much money on us right now. We still have 20,000 gold notes."
At this point, seeing Chen An's unhappy expression, the old man suddenly cheered up: "Young Master Chen, please calm down. How about this? Young Master Chen will escort us, the master and the servant, home. 130,000 taels of gold is not a small amount, and we will also give Young Master Chen an additional 100,000 taels of gold. How about this?"
When Chen An heard the old man's tone, he was certain of the extraordinary identities of the old man and the young man.
He narrowed his eyes and said something that made the old man look sad.
“You have to raise the price!”
The old man had a sad face: "Young Master Chen, 230,000 taels of gold is already the limit of what we can offer."
"I am a cultivator, why would I care about these yellow and white things?" Chen An immediately spoke righteously.
The old man was confused at this moment, and looked at Chen An eagerly: "So what does Young Master Chen mean..."
Chen An said seriously, "Well, seeing that you and I are destined to be together, I'll give you a discount and give me two hundred thousand taels of gold!"
The old man was overjoyed: "Thank you, Young Master Chen, for your kindness. This old man and my young master will never forget it!"
Chen An waved his hand: "No need to thank me, since I am protecting you, this young man will face great danger, so, each of you, give me a thousand-year-old elixir!"
"What!" the old man was shocked.
Chen An was stunned. Aren’t they just two thousand-year-old elixirs? Why was he so excited?
The old man was excited and shocked, but he quickly said with a wry smile: "Young man, each of these thousand-year-old elixirs is a rare treasure. How could we, the master and servant, possibly produce it? We really can't produce it. I beg you to show me mercy."
Chen An was a little stunned. I haven’t even ordered ten plants yet. Is this thousand-year-old elixir so difficult to get?
Seeing Chen An frowning and not saying anything, the old man suddenly became anxious: "Young Master Chen, let me give you a thousand-year-old elixir. On the way home, Young Master Chen does not need to worry about the safety of this old man. You just need to escort the young master home. Of course, I will give it to you only when the young master comes back!"
Chen An looked at the old man and it seemed that he was not pretending. He was suspicious. Could it be that he had seen too many thousand-year-old elixirs in Fengshenmen, and his horizons had broadened, so he didn't understand the market outside?
Although this old man and this young boy should have a distinguished background, they also seem to be in trouble.
After thinking about it, he reluctantly said: "Forget it, one plant is enough. I am not the kind of person who would repay a favor with a favor!"
The old man's face twitched. If this isn't called repaying a favor, then what is it?
Just being able to escort them back was already a life-saving straw for them, so they were still grateful, and it even made both the master and servant feel more at ease.
Because Chen An asks for money and things clearly at a fixed price, it is much more reassuring than asking for things from people whose intentions are unclear!
Suddenly, Chen An turned around and looked at the sky!
Suddenly, I saw a strong man in golden armor flying from the sky. He must be the Royal Guard.
Chen An's heart skipped a beat. Was he discovered?
Suddenly anxious, he said quickly: "Let's go, I'll escort you, someone is chasing us!"
When they heard someone was chasing them, the old man and the boy became nervous and started running.
