Chapter 1490: Rat City
If it is really too severe, this scum should be beaten to death.
"Give him ten strokes, don't break his legs."
"Do you want to beat him yourself?" Ye Qing asked.
"No need. I don't even want to watch. These ten strokes are equivalent to the punishment for stealing. As for the punch I gave, we will settle it later."
Ye Qing looked at Chen Xuan and nodded with satisfaction. Although Chen Xuan's punishment for Wang Feifei was obviously too light and did not have a deterrent effect, Chen Xuan did not rely on others' power to bully others, which pleased him very much.
"I hope you can change your habit of stealing." Chen Xuan said to Wang Feifei before leaving. Wang Feifei did not say anything, but in fact he despised someone in his heart, "If I had a senior brother like your father, I would definitely change."
Wang Feifei's matter was over like this. For Ye Qing, it was a bit of thunder and rain. He spent so much manpower and material resources but only scratched it lightly ten times. The guards were a little bit talking.
But what happened next made the guards furious. There were often disasters in the backyard of the store, and these disasters were often the dirtiest things, such as animal feces, rotten corpses, etc.
The guards first thought of Wang Feifei's revenge, but there was no evidence to prove it. There were several times when there were guards watching Wang Feifei in the restaurant, but the backyard of the store was attacked by disasters.
The guards immediately thought that this guy had helpers. Later, he couldn't bear it anymore and beat him up, but still didn't force him to find out if it was him. In the end, he had to apologize for hitting the wrong person.
After several twists and turns, Chen Xuan also realized that the punishment for Wang Feifei might be too light this time. If he followed the decision of his senior brother, maybe Wang Feifei would not dare to look at the Mu clan store in the future. However, Chen Xuan did not regret it. Under the circumstances at that time, the decision he made was made according to his own standards for dealing with people. The reason why he changed his mind now is that the standards for dealing with people have changed now. People can't know what they will become in the future, so how can the present self blame the past self?
Now we have to find a way to break Wang Feifei's trap and let him get the retribution he deserves. However, due to unexpected events, this trap was not broken, which is a later story.
After the Wang Feifei incident was handled, Chen Xuan had a personal bodyguard. He would follow him wherever he went. Chen Xuan didn't feel annoyed. He had no ability, so it was not bad to have someone to protect him. More importantly, Chen Xuan didn't have such a good treatment before, and this new reputation made Chen Xuan enjoy it for a while.
The reason why Ye Qing sent a bodyguard to Chen Xuan, in addition to the impact of Wang Feifei's incident, was more importantly that he smelled a hint of unusual danger, that is, the danger of the beast tribe.
When Chen Xuan walked into the mole city again, he immediately retreated from the inside. The mole city was actually smelly, just like walking into a garbage dump.
Chen Xuan didn't know what happened, so he asked an old man who had just come out from the inside. "Old man, what happened to this mole city?"
"Mole city? The manager is missing. The inside is almost full of garbage. There used to be an old man taking care of it, but for some reason, the old man has not been seen in the past ten years."
"This mole city is really weird. It has become like this in just a few years. How did the old man maintain it in the past? How did he get all that garbage out of such a deep cave by himself?" Another person happened to pass by and joined the conversation.
"The Rat City is a miracle. Didn't you notice that it is so deep underground, how can there be light shining in?"
"Isn't it reflected by the mirror?"
"Reflection? It's not that simple. The reflected light will become darker with the number of reflections, but the mirrors in the Rat City can reflect all the light into the hole without revealing anything. Someone once suspected that the mirror was a treasure and stole one of them, but it turned out to be an ordinary mirror. The old man didn't investigate where the mirror went, but just asked someone to buy a new one on the street and put it on the spot. In short, it's not the mirror's problem, nor the hole's problem, but the old man's problem."
Hearing the old man talking about the old man, Chen Xuan immediately thought of the old man who gave him the book.
"Does the old man look very ordinary?" Chen Xuan asked.
"Ordinary? It is indeed ordinary. It is so ordinary that people can't remember its appearance." The old man continued: "Look at the plate at the door. Everyone needs to pay a low-grade spirit stone to enter the cave. No one will care if you don't pay. But you will feel very uncomfortable in this cave, and there is a feeling of suffocation." "This old man is really amazing. Is it possible that no one has ever made plans for such a large industry here?" asked the other person. "Who dares to make plans? Although this old man doesn't ask anyone, some people admire him very much. As long as there is something wrong in this rat city, strong people will come to drive away the perpetrators." "Does he have strong people to protect him?" The other person was surprised. "I don't know. In short, no troublemaker has a good end, and they will always be punished immediately." "Where is the old man now? It stinks here. I'm afraid he will drive everyone away." "Someone has decided to clean up together. Someone will come to do it in the next two days." Chen Xuan heard this and could only turn around and walk back. Come back in two days. The smell is too scary now. But he always thought that the old man was definitely a peerless master. But why did he leave here again? What happened to him? Could there be an accident?
After walking around the street, Chen Xuan didn't see anything interesting, so he could only go back in a depressed mood.
Sun Tingting's water-based skills were still missing in February, which made her anxious. The girl was frowning and had completely lost her original calm demeanor. Mu Chenglong heard that because the head of the Mu tribe had recently gone to the headquarters for something, he was unable to discuss it with the head of the tribe, but he would handle the matter immediately when the head of the tribe came back, and he asked Liu Chun and Sun Tingting not to worry.
In the middle of the month, the large-scale auction in Muyu Town also opened, and Sun Tingting placed her hopes on it again. Ye Qing and Liu Chun discussed it and decided that if there was a good water-based skill, the Mu tribe and Liu Chun would jointly bid for it in a ratio of eight to two. Liu Chun would leave a copy for Sun Tingting to practice, and the original would be sent to the Mu tribe. Of course, this ratio fully took into account Liu Chun's ability to bear.
"Chen Xuan, will there be a good water-based skill at your auction tomorrow?" Sun Tingting asked Chen Xuan.
"Call me brother, maybe he will show up tomorrow." Chen Xuan knew that once he started, Sun Tingting would never change her name, even though she had already determined that Chen Xuan was already fourteen years old.
Sun Tingting was silent, and Chen Xuan was helpless. Who made him look like that? He didn't look like a brother at all!
"Okay, I'm kidding. Call me whatever you want! In a few years, just don't ignore me." Chen Xuan calculated that in a few years, Sun Tingting would look like a grown-up girl, and he might still be just a kid.
"Haha, by that time, I will call you brother, and I will just call you monster brother." Sun Tingting joked.
"Don't! Just call me Chen Xuan!"
"Oh, it's so annoying. Why is that mole city different from before? The garbage inside has been cleaned up, but why is the stench still there! Such a good place, it seems to be abandoned." Sun Tingting.
"Do you still remember the old man who gave me the book? He might be the owner of the Rat City."
"That angry old man. It's a pity that the place belongs to him. Now the place is in a mess, he must be dead!" Sun Tingting has a lot of opinions about the old man.
"You can't be so old. He must have left Muyu Town temporarily for something, and he must be a peerless master."
"By the way, can't those two books really be shown to others?" Sun Tingting asked again.
"Of course not, I have to keep my promise. And now even if I want to show you, there is no way, because I lost those two books." Chen Xuan said half-truthfully. The two books did disappear, and Chen Xuan did not deliberately deceive Sun Tingting. He couldn't share such a secret with Sun Tingting that the contents of the book had been imprinted in his mind.
"It's lost. I think it's just a rubbish book, there's nothing to regret."
Second, the large-scale auction in Muyu Town was grandly opened under the joint sponsorship of the Cultivator Federation and the Merchant Federation. The auction is different from the transactions between ordinary stores and Rat City. The things traded in ordinary stores are daily necessities and common items. The purpose of trading in the Mouse City is to exchange what is available, and the goods traded at the auction are generally high-value and rare items.
Merchants generally do not deliberately sell such goods, but it does not rule out that they may get these goods in daily transactions. So slowly accumulating, there is a need to hold an auction.
The Wood Clan Store is of course a member of the Merchants Federation, so a large number of special goods are also organized for auction. But these have nothing to do with Chen Xuan. He is a little concerned about whether Sun Tingting can get the water system exercises. The result is not too bad. Liu Chun bid for a Class C middle-grade water system exercise "Spring Water Jue" for 15,000 spirit crystals.
Compared with Liu Chun's four Class D exercises, Sun Tingting's ability to get a Class C exercise is already a pretty good ending.
Since Sun Tingting got the exercise, Chen Xuan has lost a partner. And Sun Tingting is really a cultivation maniac. Now she is practicing except for eating. After Chen Xuan went to her several times, he gave up and went to her again.
Time flies and it's May. The store was bustling with people. Chen Xuan was about to go out to see what happened when he ran into Ye Qing at the door. Ye Qing looked very nervous and anxious. Seeing Chen Xuan, he pulled him to his side and said, "Chen Xuan, something big has happened. The Wood Tribe's headquarters was destroyed by the Beast Tribe. It will soon affect our Wood Tribe. You have to be prepared. Maybe we will move away from here soon. Have you seen your mother? I'll go tell her too."
