C20

This was a simple little courtyard, with no flowers, plants, or trees. There were only three cabins, and this was the home of Su Xiao Yue and her sisters.

"The little girl is in my room, the one in the middle." Su Xiaoyue and Xu Chen hurried into the courtyard.

Xu Chen did not say anything and rushed into the room.

This was just a very ordinary room. There were no decorations or expensive furniture, only a faint fragrance. There was a round table in the middle with a simple table in the middle, tidied up quite neatly.

Xu Chen did not pay any attention to this as he passed through the curtain and entered the bed.

A young girl was waiting by the bed, and a little girl was lying on the bed.

Although half of the little girl's face had been beaten until it was swollen and her five palm marks could still be clearly seen, Xu Chen was able to recognize that it was Xu Shengyan!

"Who are you? What are you doing!" Xu Chen barged in, startling the young girl in the room.

"You, you …" However, when the young girl remembered Xu Chen, she covered her mouth and was speechless.

She remembered that this was the youth that had already died. Now that he had appeared in front of her, she felt that it was very unbelievable!

"Thank you for taking care of me. I've offended you so much." Xu Chen apologized and walked over to the bed without saying anything else.

The blood on Xu Shengyan's face covered half of her face, making people's hearts ache for her.

Xu Chen gently caressed the bloody mark. It must be because it hurt a little. Xu Shengyan frowned instinctively, which made Xu Chen's heart ache even more.

Xu Chen's face was a little gloomy. It was rare for the normally calm Xu Chen to see such an expression on his face. However, he still patiently gave Xu Shengyan her pulse.

"Xiao Yue, how did he come back to life?" The young girl couldn't help but ask in a low voice when she saw Su Xiao Yue following them in.

"I don't know either. I just buried him and he came back alive, causing me to waste my time and money to buy a coffin for him." Su Xiao Yue also whispered.

Su Xiaoyue was already planning to get Xu Chen's funeral payment back, but she didn't dare to say it out loud.

Very quickly, the 'Xu Chen' finished her pulse. He knew the wounds on Xu Shengyan's body like the back of his hand. Her internal organs had been severely injured.

If it weren't for the timely treatment, Xu Shengyan would have already died!

Xu Chen took a few deep breaths. What kind of person would be so cruel to a little girl like this!

Just as Xu Chen was about to get up, he realized that someone had grabbed the corner of his robe.

Xu Chen turned his head to look and saw that Xu Shengyan had already woken up. She looked at Xu Chen with her watery eyes. The blood imprint made her face look a little unkempt and even a little ugly.

"Brother …" Brother, you … The item is still here! " Xu Shengyan opened her mouth and spoke in rough language. She then took out the package that she hugged tightly even when she was unconscious.

Xu Chen was a little surprised. He had always thought that Xu Shengyan would not be able to speak. He had not expected that she would be able to speak, but now, he could not feel happy either.

"Make smoke." Xu Chen wanted to stroke the bloody mark on Xu Shengyan's face, but his hand stopped in midair and he asked, "Does it still hurt?"

"When big brother comes back, it won't hurt anymore." Although Xu Shengyan's words were a bit incomprehensible, she had a very sweet smile on her face.

"Then you just stay here and recuperate. These big sisters will take care of you, you have to listen to me." When Xu Chen saw this smile, there was no relief, only heartache.

Only after seeing Xu Shengyan nod her head did Xu Chen stand up with the bag in his hands. Looking at the clean package and seeing that the item he gave to Xu Shengyan was still intact, Xu Chen felt an inexplicable sense of sorrow!

"Please take care of my sister for me." Xu Chen pleaded to Su Xiaoyue.

"Alright, don't worry. I'll take good care of her." Su Xiao Yue nodded in agreement.

"Thank you." Xu Chen thanked her, turned around, and walked out of the room.

"Hey, Xu Chen, where are you going?!" The moment Su Xiaoyue shouted, Xu Chen had already left the room.

Su Xiao Yue's yard was very close to where the family stayed. Xu Chen soon arrived at the door.

As soon as Xu Chen walked in, he was discovered by the shop owner. When he saw Xu Chen, the shop owner's face was filled with surprise.

"Isn't he dead?" The shop owner knew very well that the young man who had barged in had been thrown out with his own eyes.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Manager. I'm here to settle the bill. I've been bothering you guys for a few days and still haven't paid for the room." Xu Chen did not show much emotion on his face, he just took out an Dongxuan coin from his storage ring.

"Please take an inventory. Is that enough money?"

"Good, good, enough, enough." The shop owner was completely stunned by Xu Chen's actions. He thought Xu Chen was here to cause trouble, but he didn't expect him to be so polite.

"Good, it's good that you've calculated everything!" Xu Chen's expression was very calm. He also looked at the shop owner and said, "Then we should talk about something else."

"The deposit is due. You can just kick him out. Why did you hit him? Do you need to give me an explanation?"

"Well, gongzi, you have to be reasonable too. It's not easy for us to do business here." The shop owner saw that Xu Chen's goal was not simply to pay the bill. While smiling apologetically, he winked at the people below.

"You saw that you didn't pay for the room earlier and have been occupying the house, so we have no other choice."

"What's more, it was that young lady who attacked us first. She bit our people."

"You see, you have also come over to compensate us with money. Can we also not pursue this matter any further?" The shop owner rubbed his hands nervously.

"Who dares to find trouble with the Fragrant Storey? They don't want to stay here anymore." Just as the shop owner was explaining, a rough voice came from the backyard of the Scented Wine House.

Hearing this voice, the shop owner was slightly relieved and felt reassured.

At this time, the customers who were returning to their rooms to enjoy the fragrant wine had also noticed the situation over here. Knowing that there was going to be a good show, they all gathered around to watch the show!

"Ai, isn't that the dead youth?" A nearby drinker recognized Xu Chen. Xu Chen had been left on the streets like a corpse this morning.

"That's right, why is he alive now?"

The surrounding customers were all pointing at Xu Chen. Xu Chen didn't care, he just watched silently as the shop owner asked for an answer that would satisfy him.

"You … Take advantage of the time when we are not pursuing the matter and quickly leave this place. Otherwise, we won't be so easy to talk to later." The shop owner, on the other hand, had confidence in himself. He no longer dared to be polite and started to threaten Xu Chen in a naked manner.

"You won't pursue the matter?" Annoyed, Xu Chen laughed in his heart: "I'd like to see how hard it is for you to talk now!"

At this time, the scar-faced man also came out with five or six of his brothers. They were all the people who had rushed into Xu Chen's room that day, so they could still remember his appearance.

"Damn, isn't this kid dead?" The scarred man remembered Xu Chen, but didn't care too much about why he was still alive.

"Hey, kid, don't talk here. Hurry up and get out of here, or else I'll really beat you to death later!" The scar-faced man said arrogantly.

"Big bro's right! Little bastard, don't cause trouble! Get the hell out of here!"

"I'll say it again, just kick him out, why did you hit him!" Xu Chen silently looked at the scar-faced man. He could completely imagine how scared Xu Shengyan was when she was beaten by them!

"Why did you hit him?" The scarred man disdainfully sneered and said: "I'll say it again, if you don't get out of here, I will beat you up too, you piece of trash!"

"Brat, if you know what's good for you, hurry up and get lost!" The subordinate of the scarred man also came out to cheer.

"I'll ask you one last time, why did you hit me?" Xu Chen did not like to fight, but now he was truly going to lose his temper!

"Haha, this is the first time I've seen such a stupid thing!" The scar-faced man laughed at Xu Chen's teasing and said, "I'll tell you right now, you're too polite if you can't beat her to death!"

"Young people, you're too inexperienced. Who is reasonable with you in this world? You really don't know what you're talking about." The bystanders were discussing amongst themselves.

"Yeah, he's too young and doesn't know his place."

"Young man, hurry up and leave. Don't be beaten to death by your sickly appearance." Some people beside him were also trying to persuade Xu Chen to leave.

Xu Chen did not pay attention to those spectators. He believed that the world was a reasonable place, and now it seemed that if he wanted people to reason with him, they would first have to talk about fists!

"Since you like fighting so much, then I'll fight with you today!" Xu Chen had no expression on his face, only indifference.

Suddenly, a wave of divine power rippled around Xu Chen's body. His entire body was enveloped by a faint divine power.

"A Divine Vein Cultivator!"

When the surrounding people saw the divine power surging out from Xu Chen's body, they were so shocked that they couldn't even utter a word. They all retreated, afraid that there would be harm to the innocent!

The entire town was just an insignificant place on the Eastern Xuan Continent. Not to mention a Divine Vein cultivator, even martial arts cultivators were rarely seen.

When the knife-scarred man was young, he worked hard to become a martial artist. Later on, he could not bear the hardships of his training, so he didn't even use his basic martial power.

However, this was more than enough to be rampant in this town. He was much stronger than most people, and in the eyes of ordinary people, he was an expert!

In Xu Chen's eyes, this scar-faced man was just bullsh * t. Ever since he had comprehended the Dusk Incantation, he had become a Third Stage of Body Transformation, Divine Vein Cultivator!

Most cultivation techniques were only Level 1 at the start, but the fact that the Twilight Spell allowed Xu Chen to reach the Third Stage of Body Transformation proved how powerful it was!

"Big brother, what should we do?" The men of the scarred man had never seen a Divine Pulse Cultivator before. They were completely intimidated and were no longer as arrogant as before. They were so scared that their legs were going soft!

The scar-faced man swallowed his saliva. His intestines had turned green from regret. If he had known earlier, he would have admitted his wrongs obediently.

However, it was already too late. Xu Chen, who was enveloped by the divine power, was quickly rushing towards him!

In the blink of an eye, Xu Chen had already grabbed the scar-faced man's collar and pressed him down to the ground with a thud. He swung his fist and beat the scar-faced man until he had no strength to fight back.

Xu Chen had a good temper, patience, and a good personality. However, the more someone was like this, the more terrifying his fury would be!

Therefore, do not try to anger a person who does not like to lose his temper, because that is terrible!

With a "Peng" sound, Xu Chen's fist landed on the scarred man's face. As he punched, he said, "Tell me why you want to hit me!"

"…" Just as the scar-faced man was about to speak, Xu Chen punched his fist down, breaking his front teeth and making him scream out in pain!

Everyone present sucked in a breath of cold air when they saw the scar-faced man being pressed to the ground by Xu Chen. They did not dare to move or make a sound, afraid that Xu Chen would anger them!

Finally, the scar-faced man was beaten senseless by Xu Chen. His face was covered in blood, and there was not even a scream. The entire hall was silent as Xu Chen punched the scar-faced man's face!

"Can't you reason with me now?" Xu Chen held onto the scarred man's collar as he asked.

"Right... "I'm sorry." The knife-scarred burly man was confused and blood kept gushing out of his mouth, but he still vaguely apologized to Xu Chen.

There was a saying or two that made sense in the East Peak Mainland. The purpose of improving one's cultivation was to have a good talk with others, to improve their cultivation, and to allow others to have a good talk with them!
