Zhu Ziyang abruptly turned his head around and was shocked to find that at an alley not far from the courtyard, an old man with shabby clothes and a stooped figure was looking in their direction in surprise.

"It really is Miss Zhu!"

The old man immediately recognized her when he saw her turn her head.

Zhu Zifu was slightly taken aback. "This old sir, you are …?"

"Miss Zhu, my name is Gui Dehan and I'm an adventurer." The old man quickly walked over and bowed towards the bamboo with a flattering smile on his face.

"How do you know me?" Zhu Zifu quickly regained his composure and asked.

"Miss Zhu is extremely famous in Ci City. Even a three year old child knows her. How could I not know her?!" The old man called Gui Dehan said with an apologetic smile.

Bamboo Fork nodded her head noncommittally and didn't say anything else.

As the eldest daughter of the Wen family, many people in Ci City knew her.

In fact, it wasn't just her. Whether it was the people of the Wen family or the Chu family, they were famous in Ci City. If ordinary citizens and adventurers didn't know these two families, they might offend someone and even die without knowing how.

Zhu Ziquan was not in the mood to deal with this old man, so he did not speak any further. He only turned his head to look at the house before him as he sighed in his heart.

Lin Cheng didn't say anything, but his gaze landed on the old man as he frowned slightly.

Lin City released his perception without leaving a trace. From the old man's expression and eyes, as well as the old man's heartbeat and breathing, it was clear that he was not lying.

Therefore, he could basically conclude that this old man was a poor adventurer.

However, Lin Cheng was still on his guard. With the Wen Family's influence in Ci City, for a destitute adventurer like them to take the initiative and talk to him, it was not logical.

Sensing the coldness in Lin City's eyes, Gui Dehan couldn't help but shrink back his neck. He let out a dry laugh and said carefully, "Miss Zhu, do you have any other instructions?"

"Instruction?"

Zhu Zi regained her senses and frowned slightly. Seeing the flattering smile on Gui Dehan's face, she couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, do you want to do something?"

"I... "It's not a big deal."

Gui Dehan hesitated for a moment and laughed dryly as he looked at Bamboo Shoot's face, "That's right …" If it's convenient for Miss Zhu, can you buy my house? "

When Bamboo Fork heard this, she couldn't help but be slightly startled. She looked at Gui Dehan in astonishment.

Perhaps he realized that his suggestion was rude, Gudeson quickly explained, "Miss Zhu, please don't misunderstand. Although my house is a little shabby, it is still my ancestral property. If I didn't need a sum of money, I wouldn't have sold it …"

Bamboo Shoot and Lin Cheng looked at each other and saw the strange look in each other's eyes.

This old geezer, Gui Dehan, was indeed acting rather strangely. Not only did he take the initiative to come up and talk to them, he even wanted to sell his ancestral home to Zhu Ziquan.

"Alright!"

Bamboo Hill didn't want to get entangled with him, so she shook her head and said, "I understand what you mean, but I have no intention of buying the house, so I can only …"

However, before she could finish speaking, Gui Dehan suddenly became anxious. He hurriedly cupped his fists and bowed, "Miss Zhu, you must be magnanimous. Just treat it as giving charity to this old man, giving this old man a way to survive …"

Zhu Ziyang frowned, "I don't understand your words at all. There is no relationship between you and me. You begged me to give you a way out, but you found the wrong person, right?"

"No, no, no. Miss Zhu, please don't misunderstand, I just …" "I am really desperate, otherwise I would definitely not have come back …"

Gui Dehan shook his head, his face turning red from being too anxious. In a moment of desperation, he said, "Miss Zhu, we can be considered to be familiar with each other. Back then, I was on an expedition with your father, but on account of me following Brother Zhu …"

"What did you say?!"

Before Gui Dehan could finish speaking, Zhu Ziquan's expression suddenly changed. His gaze turned sharp as he stared at Gui Dehan, "You just said that you once accompanied my father on an adventure?"

When she looked into his eyes, the powerful aura of the 9th level of Arterial Circulation was instantly released. The immense pressure instantly pressed down on him.

"Ah …"

Gui Dehan only felt that Bamboo Raise's gaze was like two sharp blades that pierced into his heart, causing his entire body to stiffen. His heart palpitated, his face turned deathly pale, and he opened his mouth to explain, but no words came out.

"Little girl, don't be in such a hurry. Ask him slowly if he has anything to say."

Lin City noticed Guidehan's pale face and immediately said.

Zhuangzi also realized that her tone was somewhat harsh. She tried her best to slow down her tone upon hearing his words. She looked at Gui Dehan and asked, "Explain in detail what exactly happened?"

Gui Dehan swallowed a mouthful of saliva with great difficulty. Only after a few breaths did he regain his senses from the immense pressure that Zhu Ziyang had brought and he could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

"Miss Zhu, back then your father was also an adventurer. However, because he was strong, there were many adventurers willing to follow him. He could be considered an adventurer team, and I was one of them."

Gui Dehan explained, "Under your father's lead, all of us had a certain level of achievement. The one time I had the deepest impression was that under your father's lead, we actually hunted a Rank 2 Demonic Beast."

Bamboo Pea frowned, "A Rank 2 Demonic Beast?"

"That's right!" Of course, if it was a normal level two demon beast, we definitely wouldn't have the ability to kill them. However, that rank two demon beast that we encountered that time was severely injured. According to your father's judgement, that demon beast was defeated after battling other demon beasts.

Zhu Zifu nodded his head slowly, finally feeling relieved in his heart.

As for those that could be called demon beasts, they were not people that ordinary adventurers could challenge, let alone hunt.

However, there would also be battles between Demonic Beasts. For example, the fight for territory. Moreover, the fights would be extremely intense. If they were able to meet a Demonic Beast that was seriously injured, there was a chance to kill them.

"When we first saw that Monstrous Beast, everyone present was stunned. Everyone was scared stiff and their minds were blank. They didn't even have the power to resist and they were just waiting for the Monstrous Beast to eat them."

Perhaps it was because he thought of the scene at that time that shock flashed across his eyes and his tone was slightly trembling. It was as if he had returned to that critical moment where he was scared to the point that his heart was about to burst and his soul was about to leave his body.

"But right at this critical moment, your father was the first to react and discover that the demonic beast was severely injured. Moreover, he was the first one to use his weapon to attack that demonic beast! In the end, after we injured dozens of our brothers, that demon beast that was already spent was killed by us! "

"Then... Is my father hurt? "

Zhu Zifu could not help but ask.

Gui Dehan nodded and said, "Your father is injured, but it's not serious. He didn't injure any vital parts of his body."

Zhuzi pursed her lips, as if she saw the valiant look her father had when he was young. Her beautiful eyes couldn't help but light up.

Whether it is its claws, the scales on its body, or its meat, they are all very precious. There won't be a single demon beast appearing in our Ci City for one to two years, so we sold this demon beast for a large sum!

At this point, Gui Dehan's cloudy eyes couldn't help but light up, "Especially that Demonic Core, it's even more priceless. The Alchemy Master who returned is even willing to pay 10,000 gold coins, but your father rejected it."

Bamboo Shoot was stunned and asked, "Why?"

Gui Dehan said, "Because we killed the demon beast under your father's leadership, when distributing the spoils of war, everyone unanimously recommended to your father to choose first, and he chose the demon core. I remember he said at that time that he would invite someone to refine a Bone Cleansing Pill, and that demon core is one of the main ingredients to concoct the Bone Cleansing Pill!"

"The demon beast you killed, is it a Level 2 demon beast, Purple Tailed?" Upon hearing these words, Lin Cheng, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly asked.

Gui Dehan was startled. He subconsciously nodded and said, "That's right. I heard from the alchemist master that that demonic beast is a purple tailed pig …" "Ah, so the two of you actually know what happened back then. That would be the best decision …"

Seeing Bamboo Knot's questioning gaze, Lin Cheng said in a low voice, "To refine the Bone Cleansing Pill, one must use the demon core of a Violet Tailed swine. The Bone Cleansing Pill is an extremely valuable pill. After consuming it, one's physique will be greatly strengthened and one will be reborn. "

Zhu Ziyang was astonished, she had never heard of such a pill.

"However, this kind of pill is extremely difficult to refine, and the materials required are also very rare. Normally, no one would refine it." Lin Cheng continued, "The most important thing is that the Bone Cleansing Pill is only effective on children. The older people are, the worse its efficacy is. If you take it after you reach adulthood, it will have almost no other effect other than strengthening your body."

Zhui Ziquan was stunned. The next moment, she tightly pursed her lips.

Upon seeing this, Lin Cheng could not help but sigh.

Without a doubt, the reason that Zhu Ziyang's father had asked someone to concoct the Bone Cleansing Pill was because he wanted Zhu Zifu to undergo a complete transformation and gain extraordinary talent.

This was a man who cared for his daughter as a father.

Unfortunately, he died young!

Lin Cheng felt the sadness in her heart and couldn't help but hold her hand.
