Soon, Xiao Chen met Li Xiunian.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two went to meet the old man who had sent the broken sword without sitting down.
"Chen Xiao, this is the broken sword that this senior sent for auction."
Li Xiunian introduced.
"Chen Xiao meets the senior."
Xiao Chen bowed, quite politely.
At the same time, he looked at the old man, who was wearing an ordinary gray linen robe and looked a little unkempt, with a head full of white hair casually fixed with a wooden hairpin.
As for his cultivation, it is not too strong, probably only at the first level of foundation building.
"Haha, everyone knows that one sword can make it to the top of the list."
The old man looked at Xiao Chen and smiled.
"Young genius has great ambitions, today he can soar into the sky!"
"I don't deserve it... Please take a seat, senior."
Xiao Chen smiled even more widely. Putting aside the compliment... just looking at the old man's attitude, the subsequent communication should be smooth.
"I apologize for the intrusion of meeting you, senior..."
"Haha, it's nothing. I'm very happy that you can take the broken sword and give me the spirit stone. How can I be angry?"
As the old man spoke, he looked at Xiao Chen and then at Wang Pingbei.
Wang Pingbei noticed the old man's gaze and without thinking much, quickly nodded.
After everyone sat down, someone served tea.
"Chen Xiao, you chat with the seniors. I have some things to deal with, so I'll go first."
Li Xiunian didn't stay for long and stood up and said.
"good."
Xiao Chen nodded. He knew that Li Xiunian was avoiding him on purpose.
Since it was about the Xuanyuan Sword and the inheritance of Emperor Xuanyuan, he didn't try to keep him.
After Li Xiunian left, Xiao Chen didn't beat around the bush and directly asked about the origin of the broken sword.
"I got this broken sword by chance..."
The old man drank his tea and said.
"Where did you get it, Senior?"
Xiao Chen was a little disappointed, but still asked.
"In the Imperial Sea."
The old man replied.
"Emperor Sea?"
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows. What is this place?
However, when it comes to the word "Emperor", he can't help but take it seriously.
This emperor is most likely referring to Emperor Xuanyuan!
"Emperor Sea? The Emperor Sea near Xuanyuan Realm?"
Wang Pingbei was surprised, and was afraid that Xiao Chen didn't know where the 'Emperor Sea' was, so he asked.
"Xuanyuan Realm...Emperor Sea..."
Xiao Chen's heart moved and he became slightly excited.
"Yes, it was obtained in the Imperial Sea."
The old man nodded.
"As for why this broken sword appeared in the Imperial Sea, I have no idea... Maybe someone left it there, or maybe it was something else. In any case, it was found by chance."
"Thank you, senior."
Xiao Chen suppressed his excitement. Although he did not know the exact origin of the broken sword, knowing where it was obtained was already a gain.
As for other things, he didn't dare to ask too much for fear of being suspected.
He didn't dare to completely believe the old man in front of him, including what he said.
Who knows if the old man took out the broken sword on purpose?
Just now he asked Li Xiunian what the old man’s identity was...and the answer he got was, he didn’t know.
The Longteng Chamber of Commerce is not clear about the old man's identity, and when Li Xiunian asked, the old man's answer was... why bother asking.
"Young friend Chen, do you recognize this broken sword?"
The old man looked at Xiao Chen and asked slowly.
“Here I come…”
Xiao Chen's heart skipped a beat and he shook his head with a normal expression.
"I don't know, but... I have a vague feeling that the origin of this broken sword should be unusual, so I am quite interested in it."
"It seems that you are not the only one interested. Isn't Gongsun Zhen also interested?"
The old man continued.
"Damn you old dog Gongsun..."
Hearing this, Xiao Chen cursed Gongsun Zhen's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart.
If Gongsun Zhen hadn't come to ask about Broken Sword that day, how could it have attracted so many people's attention.
Not to mention the old man, even Wu Qingming and the others were also thinking about the broken sword, right?
"Haha, don't be nervous. Since I sold the broken sword, I won't regret it, and I won't ask for it back."
The old man looked at Xiao Chen and smiled.
"This old fellow is only at the first level of foundation building, right? He is so arrogant and he wants to come back... Does he have the ability to do that?"
Wang Pingbei was worried.
"No matter what the origin of this broken sword is, it has nothing to do with me anymore."
The old man continued.
"For me, it's far less practical than exchanging it for some spirit stones... It's useless in my hands."
"I don't know why Gongsun Zhen is interested in the broken sword. I think the broken sword may have a history, so I want to find out."
Xiao Chen replied.
"As for Gongsun Zhen, I'm also curious as to why he's interested."
"Forget it. No matter what, it has nothing to do with me."
The old man waved his hand and asked no more questions.
"This broken sword, now in the hands of a genius like you, may be of use one day. It can be considered a good fate between us."
"Haha, Senior, please tell me how you got it."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"good."
The old man nodded and began to tell Xiao Chen.
A few minutes later, Xiao Chen understood, but of course, he didn't completely believe it.
Since the day he debuted, he knew the truth that one should always be on guard against others.
What's more, this is a paradise beyond heaven.
"Okay, I've said everything I need to say, it's time for me to leave."
The old man stood up.
"I hope that one day, you will know the origin of the Broken Sword... I also hope that one day, this Broken Sword will become famous in the martial arts world."
"I'll see you off, Senior."
Xiao Chen also stood up.
"By the way, Senior, would you mind leaving your name?"
"Haha, it's just a name, it's better not to leave it."
The old man smiled and walked out.
"If we are destined to meet again, we will meet again, right?"
"Too."
Xiao Chen nodded and sent the old man out of the Longteng Chamber of Commerce.
"I'm leaving."
The old man waved his hand and slowly left.
Xiao Chen watched the old man leave, narrowing his eyes slightly.
"This old man... is a little weird."
Next to it is Wang Ping North Road.
"Maybe he is a senior master who roams freely in the world."
Xiao Chen said.
"Senior? Not really? A senior from the first level?"
Wang Pingbei was stunned.
"How do you know that he has no hidden strength?"
Xiao Chen looked at Wang Pingbei and asked.
"You mean...he's hiding his strength?"
Wang Pingbei was surprised.
"I don't see that."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"It's precisely because I didn't see it that I was afraid."
“…”
Wang Pingbei's eyes narrowed. Even Xiao Chen couldn't see through the depth of this old man?
He turned his head and looked, but there was no trace of the old man.
"This old man is really not simple."
Li Xiunian appeared.
"How was the chat?"
"Some gains, but not much."
Xiao Chen shook his head and bowed.
"No matter what, thank you very much, President Li."
"Nothing, come in for another cup of tea?"
Li Xiunian smiled.
"good."
Xiao Chen readily agreed. He also wanted to find out whether Longteng Chamber of Commerce had any sleeping fruit.
After going in and drinking a cup of tea, Xiao Chen took out the sleeping fruit.
Li Xiunian took it and looked at it carefully, saying that he had never seen this kind of life fruit before.
He then called two more people over, and they also said they had never seen it, and neither had the Chamber of Commerce.
Xiao Chen was a little disappointed. Since he didn't even recognize Li Xiunian and the others, and Longteng Chamber of Commerce didn't have it either, there was a high probability that there was no sleeping fruit in Tianwaitian.
It seems I have to use it sparingly in the future. Once it’s used up, it’s gone.
"What are your plans next? Zhao Cangqiong probably wants you to leave Sifang City, right?"
Li Xiunian looked at Xiao Chen and asked.
"Yes, City Lord Zhao has such an idea."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"So what do you think? If you want to leave, I will leave in the next two days and you can go with me."
Li Xiunian said again.
"That way, there will be someone to take care of you."
"Thank you for your kindness, President Li. I don't plan to leave Sifang City for the time being."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"There are still some things that are not finished."
"All right."
After hearing him say this, Li Xiunian said no more.
"President Li has been promoted? Congratulations, President Li."
Xiao Chen thought of what Manager Chen said and said.
"Haha, it's not really a promotion, it's just that I'm no longer in Sifang City."
Li Xiunian waved his hand and then shouted.
Someone came in, holding a brocade box in his hand.
"Here, there's a sound transmission stone inside. If you need anything, you can contact me."
Li Xiunian opened it and handed the sound transmission stone to Xiao Chen.
"good."
Xiao Chen took it and put it away.
He felt that the voice transmission stone was similar to a mobile phone, the only problem was... it was one-on-one.
If you want to contact hundreds of people, you will have to carry hundreds of sound transmission stones.
"Before I leave, I will host a banquet for my friends here. If it's convenient for you, come too."
Li Xiunian said again.
"Haha, I will definitely come."
Xiao Chen nodded.
After the two chatted for a while, Xiao Chen took Wang Pingbei away.
"Brother Chen, we really don't want to leave?"
After coming out, Wang Pingbei asked.
"Didn't I tell you? I'm not leaving."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"I still have things to do."
“…”
Wang Pingbei couldn't understand what could be more important than his life.
"Beizi, tell me about Dihai."
Xiao Chen thought of something and said.
"There's nothing much to say. The legendary Xuanyuan Realm is in the Emperor Sea... That area of sea is called the 'Emperor Sea' because of Emperor Xuanyuan."
Wang Pingbei explained.
"Anyway, I think it's not much different from an ordinary sea area."
"Hasn't Xuanyuan Realm been found yet?"
Xiao Chen said again.
"Yes, but there are all kinds of legends... It is conceivable that once the animal skin is revealed, Xuanyuan World will definitely be bustling again."
Wang Pingbei paused.
"Brother Chen, if you don't go to Xuanyuan Realm, aren't you afraid that someone else will get there first and pass on Emperor Xuanyuan's inheritance?"
"If I don't go, who can get it?"
Xiao Chen asked back calmly.
“…”
Wang Pingbei was speechless. So the inheritance of Emperor Xuanyuan belongs to your family? So I have to wait for you?
However, he just thought about it and didn't dare say it out loud.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows and his spiritual sense swept out.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing this, Wang Pingbei asked hurriedly.
"Someone is watching us... Haha, I want to see who still has the courage to watch us."
Xiao Chen sneered and took Wang Pingbei to a remote place.
Soon, the two disappeared at the entrance of an alley.
When the two disappeared, a figure appeared and looked around.
Swish.
While searching, Xiao Chen and Wang Pingbei came out.
"Is it you?"
When Xiao Chen looked at the person who came, he couldn't help but show surprise.
——
My temperature is stable today and back to normal... On the third day of my fever, my wife also had a fever. I was not well, so I had to take care of her as she was pregnant. I didn't dare sleep at night for fear that she would have a high fever, and I kept using physical methods to cool her down... I have been exhausted both physically and mentally these past few days.
I don’t have any drafts saved today. This is just written. I will update it steadily once it is stable... Everyone pay attention to protection and stay safe and healthy.
