Chapter 33: Should I run?
Chapter 33
It was late at night, Bu Xingjin walked back to his room under the white moonlight, and had a rare and comfortable rest. He did not continue to practice and slept well all night.
Early the next morning, Bu Xingjin knocked on Qingyan's door next door as the sun rose.
"Come in." Qing Yan's voice came from inside the door.
Bu Xingjin pushed the door open and went in, and found Qing Yan standing in front of the window, with the bedding on the bed showing no signs of having been moved.
"Didn't you get some rest?" Bu Xingjin asked while sitting on a chair.
"I don't need to rest." Qing Yan said the same thing.
Okay, Bu Xingjin didn’t continue to persuade him, maybe he really didn’t need it.
"Would you like to have breakfast?" Although he was sure that the other party would not eat like him, Bu Xingjin still asked.
"Need not."
"Then let's go."
Bu Xingjin got up and went out, and Qing Yan followed silently behind him.
When he arrived at the door of the inn, the young man was already waiting nearby, peeking inside from time to time. When he saw him come out, he immediately ran over.
"Master, what are your instructions today?"
Bu Xingjin motioned the boy to follow him, and as they walked, he said, "What should I call you?"
The young man was obviously surprised when he heard this. He looked at Bu Xingjin in disbelief, then quickly lowered his head and replied, "Just call me Xiaoye."
"Xiao Ye, I want to find out about someone. Where can I find out about this?"
Bu Xingjin has not forgotten the purpose of coming here. The mission is to investigate the murderer of Lu Xunwen, but he witnessed Lu Xunwen's death with his own eyes and knows exactly who killed him, so he not only wants to investigate, but also to take revenge.
"I know a place where the information is absolutely accurate." Xiao Ye hesitated, as if he was in a difficult situation. "It's just..."
If it were in the past, he would not dare to do so, but Bu Xingjin was different from the people he had met before. He was particularly kind, so he did not want Bu Xingjin to make a wasted trip.
"Just what?" Bu Xingjin looked at the wide street where people were passing by like flowing water and many people were hawking goods on both sides. However, he was short of money and didn't want to go up and ask when he saw something that interested him occasionally.
"The news there is more expensive..."
Xiao Ye didn't finish his words, but Bu Xingjin understood the implication. He probably thought that since he had sold Yin Iron yesterday to scrape together the money for his accommodation and the spirit stones to hire him, he didn't think he could afford the spirit stones for the information.
"It's okay, just take me there."
Bu Xingjin was mentally prepared. Although he didn't have many spirit stones, he had spiritual essence which was much more precious than spirit stones. It should be enough to buy a piece of information.
"OK."
Shifang City is huge, its vertical and horizontal streets dividing it into small, large blocks. Newcomers without exceptional memory can easily get lost. Bu Xingjin felt this way right now. The distance he had walked today was far greater than yesterday. If Xiaoye hadn't been leading the way, he would have truly lost his way.
"Why does it feel like entering a maze? Didn't we just walk through this place?"
Bu Xingjin muttered to himself unconsciously.
"Master, we didn't walk the same path twice. The street we just walked on was Changping Street, which is only slightly similar to this place."
Xiao Ye turned around and looked at him.
It was the first time that Bu Xingjin discovered that he had a tendency to be directionally challenged.
"Qingyan, do you remember the way?" In order to confirm that he was not alone, Bu Xingjin asked Qingyan if he was the same as him.
"Remember." Two simple words in response.
The little turtle also said: "What's so difficult about this? I have memorized it all."
Bu Xingjin, who was devastated, didn't want to talk.
Finally, an hour later, we arrived at our destination.
He looked at the shop with the sign "Zhishitang" and was about to step in when he heard the cry of a wild beast behind him.
Bu Xingjin turned around and saw a bull-like monster that walked upright, pulling a mahogany cart, coming over and stopping at the door of the Governor's Hall.
Soon someone came out from the Governor's Hall, waiting for the people in the van to get off with a smile on their faces.
"Isn't this much more convenient than walking?"
"Master, there is a car dealership in the city where you can rent a car." After hearing Bu Xingjin's words, Xiao Ye whispered in his ear.
It doesn't look cheap. Since he doesn't have many spirit stones, he might as well move on his legs first.
Bu Xingjin nodded, withdrew his attention, and decided not to continue watching who was in the car. He turned around and prepared to step into the governor's hall.
Who knew that even though he didn't want to watch, someone insisted on having people watch. A maid in a blue gauze dress flew out from the carriage and stood in front of Bu Xingjin.
He said bluntly: "Wait a minute, our master doesn't like people entering before him, wait until we go in before you go in."
Bu Xingjin glanced at her without saying anything, and prepared to walk around her and go inside without paying any attention.
Saying one more word would be an insult to his intelligence, so Bu Xingjin didn't intend to pay any attention to the lunatic.
He also doesn't like people entering the door before him. Since he doesn't like it, he can only stay at home, and then no one can go out before him.
"Hmph!" A cold snort came from the carriage, and the waiter from the governor's hall standing nearby hurried over to stop Bu Xingjin.
He looked Bu Xingjin and his group up and down before whispering, "Do you know who's in the car?"
I don't care who he is. This guy is obviously looking for trouble. Even if he waits aside and lets others go in first, he might be criticized again for taking a second look.
Bu Xingjin didn't know when he had offended someone since he had just arrived in Shifang City. He barely managed to hold back from retorting and said coldly, "I don't know."
"He is the cousin of the Lord of Shifang City..."
Bu Xingjin didn't know who this person was. He was very sure that he didn't know the cousin of the Lord of Shifang City, and he didn't know if it was appropriate to offend such a person.
"so what?"
Bu Xingjin asked patiently.
So, get out of the way and kneel down to beg for mercy! The waiter in the governor's hall had a look on his face that said you were hopeless. Seeing that he was dressed like a casual cultivator, he was also a casual cultivator, so he came over to persuade him out of pity. If you offend the cousin of the Lord of Shifang City, the end is not good.
"So, get out of the way quickly, kneel on the ground and kowtow to me three times, and I will forgive you for disturbing my monster last night."
The attendant at the Governor's Hall remained silent. It was Zhang Yunhe, the nephew of the Shifang City Lord, who emerged from the carriage. He was twenty years old and had already reached the Golden Core stage. While this breakthrough was achieved by consuming a Breakthrough Pill, and not as good as those who achieved it on their own, it was sufficient for Shifang City.
He loved monsters and had built a monster garden in Shifang City to raise them. Yesterday, someone presented him with a rare monster, the Treasure Hunting Rat. He couldn't wait to play with it and was about to sign a mastership contract with the Treasure Hunting Rat when a sudden aura of heavenly calamity frightened the Rat so much that it trembled and hid in its cave, refusing to come out. It was obvious that it was useless.
The Treasure Hunting Rat is as timid as its name suggests, but its ability to hunt for treasure has earned it the favor of many monks. It is most afraid of natural disasters, and only after recognizing its master and receiving comfort from its owner can it calm down.
He decided to make the person who was undergoing the tribulation pay the price. It was just his bad luck that he had to undergo the tribulation just when he had just obtained the treasure-hunting rat.
At dawn in the morning, someone informed him of the details of the person who had survived the tribulation. He calmly ordered someone to dispose of the treasure-hunting rat, which refused to come out of its cave no matter how he tried to appease it, and then went out to look for the person who had survived the tribulation.
Bu Xingjin looked at him in confusion. When did he disturb his monster? This was the first time they met, okay?
I didn't recognize the wrong person, did I?
"Are you mistaken? When did I disturb your monster?"
"Did you go through the tribulation last night?" Zhang Yunhe looked at him with squinted eyes.
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Does he control the heavens and the earth and also control whether people can overcome the calamity or not?
"That's right."
What's wrong? Bu Xingjin was puzzled. Could it be that his tribulation had disturbed his demon beast?
It's like you're thirsty and want to drink water, but someone comes out and says the sound of you drinking scared his dog, and demands you kowtow and admit your mistake. Isn't that insane?
Xiao Ye pulled Bu Xingjin's sleeve and signaled him to step back, saying that this guy was not to be messed with.
Bu Xingjin looked at the other person seriously and said, "If you are sick, go get treatment."
"You!" Zhang Yunhe was about to teach Bu Xingjin a lesson. No one had ever said this to him in his life.
Zhang Yunhe's weapon was a sword, a top-grade magical weapon. He raised the sword and stabbed it towards Bu Xingjin's throat, intending to kill him.
The waiter in the governor's hall closed his eyes as he couldn't bear to watch. In Shifang City, either your cultivation level is high enough or your background is strong enough, otherwise your death will be in vain.
If you enter the governor's hall, you are a guest and there will be people in charge inside the governor's hall. Outside, even at the door, no one will come out to stop you.
Bu Xingjin summoned a wind blade and opened Zhang Yunhe's sword. Although he was only at the ninth level of the foundation building stage, Zhang Yunhe was not a true golden elixir stage, so the two could barely fight evenly.
This was Bu Xingjin's first fight since coming to this world. He was fully focused on fighting the enemy and didn't think much about what to do next.
What else could he do? He could only fight back. His only concern was that if he defeated the enemy, the dignified Lord of Shifang City would come after him. That would be too embarrassing!
In the end, when Qing Yan and Little Turtle did not make a move, Bu Xingjin knocked Zhang Yunhe back with one palm and won this inexplicable fight.
Zhang Yunhe looked at Bu Xingjin with a sullen look before turning and leaving. He had left in a hurry today, accompanied only by a maid with no cultivation. It had been a long time since he had met someone who wasn't afraid of his background, and this time he would definitely not let them off easily.
"Oh! You'd better run away quickly!" The clerk in the governor's hall looked at Bu Xingjin and shook his head and sighed as he went inside.
Bu Xingjin hurried to catch up. Even if he wanted to leave, he had to find out the news first.
After entering the governor's hall, a waiter soon came to greet him. It was obvious that everyone knew about the fight at the door. Although it was not obvious, Bu Xingjin could feel that everyone inside was secretly looking at him.
"Guest, what news do you want to ask?"
"I want to find someone. I heard he appeared in Shifang City."
"As long as someone enters Shifang City, we in the Governor's Hall will have information about him, including when he entered, when he left, what he was doing in Shifang City, and where he is now."
So powerful? Bu Xingjin's eyes lit up. He just hoped that the news was not wrong and that the middle-aged man in green robe had really appeared in Shifang City.
"I don't know his name, I only know his general appearance and clothing. Is that okay?"
"Okay, I'll take out a similar portrait for you to identify." The guy agreed immediately and said there was no problem, as if Bu Xingjin had asked a stupid question.
"How much does it cost?"
Bu Xingjin asked the question he was most concerned about. Something this powerful and detailed must be expensive.
"What specific information do you want to know? Different information has different prices, and different people have different prices."
"Just knowing where he is now is enough."
"Okay, wait a moment. Tell me the person you're looking for. I'll see if he's ever appeared in Shifang City."
Bu Xingjin described the appearance of the middle-aged man in green robe to the waiter who received him. After listening to him, the waiter asked Bu Xingjin to wait for a moment while he went to look for the portrait.
Bu Xingjin sat down to drink the tea served by the waiter. As he drank, he said to the little turtle, "Do you have any rivals in Shifang City? Should I run away quickly?"
Although it cannot be seen on the surface, he is still doing the task in an orderly manner, but he is still a little nervous in his heart. His greatest confidence comes from the little turtle. If the little turtle says to run, then he will run quickly.
