"Since you were once a member of the adventurer team, why did you sell your inheritance?" Lin Cheng asked.

"Little brother, you want to ask why I'm in such dire straits right?"

Gui Dehan let out a dry laugh and said, "Ever since Big Brother Zhu died in battle, the brothers have all dispersed. I don't have any other hobbies, so I made a good bet. Although I saved up some wealth when I was an adventurer, I still lost them all after a short period of time …"

It turned out that after the death of Zhui Ziquan's father, the adventurer team had lost their pillar of support. There were no more experts in the team who could take charge of themselves, so it was naturally difficult to reap any big rewards.

Because he loved to gamble, Guidehan soon lost all of his fortune in the casino and became destitute.

"If I just lost all my money, I could go back to being an adventurer and I could still live, but I didn't know why I would accidentally offend someone a year ago, but I had no choice but to leave this place in order to survive. But I'm already an old man and my strength has dropped so much that I can't earn a living elsewhere. Instead, I've been bullied. "

At this point, Gui Dehan's face broke into a wry smile, "If it weren't for the fact that I really can't live on anymore, I wouldn't dare to return to Ci City. Unexpectedly, on the first day I returned, I met the two of you … Miss Zhu, please buy my ancestral home for the sake of me having followed your father. "

Upon hearing this, the two men finally understood why Guidehan had suddenly suggested that Bamboo Shoot buy his ancestral home. It was because Guidehan was about to die and Tzu Cheng couldn't stay here any longer, so they decided to sell his ancestral home and spend the rest of their lives elsewhere.

"Then... Do you know how my father died? "

Bamboo Pea pursed her lips and suddenly asked.

Gui Dehan shook his head and said, "I don't know about this. Back then, because of my greed for gambling, I didn't go with my other brothers, but spent the entire night in a casino. As a result, when I heard the bad news the next morning, Big Brother Zhu and his brothers encountered an accident during the exploration and were almost completely annihilated."

Zhu Ziyang's face paled and he pursed his lips. He could not help but feel a trace of disappointment in his eyes.

Lin Cheng frowned when he heard that, "Almost? So does that mean that someone still survived at that time? "

Swish!

Bamboo Shoot's eyes lit up as he stared at Gui Dehan.

Gui Dehan hesitated for a moment, as if he was hesitating. However, when he saw Lin Cheng's and Zhu Ziquan's gazes, he finally nodded his head and said, "Yes, there were two brothers who were severely injured, but fortunately, their lives were saved, so I …" I saw them. "

"Then don't you know the cause of death of your brothers?!"

Lin Cheng frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Don't tell me that the two survivors were scared silly, or lost their memories at the same time, so much that they can't remember what happened at that time!"

There was a troubled expression on Guillermo's face. He shook his head and said, "This matter... "It's been so many years. Originally, I wasn't going to bring it up again, but it's a pity that I was too disappointing and was too engrossed in gambling …"

"We are rather interested in what happened back then. If necessary, it is not impossible for us to buy your house. However …"

At this point, Lin Cheng's face darkened, "We don't have that much time to waste with you. If you don't want to say it, then let's call it a day!"

Hearing this, Gui Dehan hurriedly said, "No no no, I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"

Lin Cheng could clearly feel Zhu Zi's hand tremble. He knew that this girl was getting nervous, so he couldn't help but channel his elemental energy to let her pass, reassuring her.

"Actually, out of the two brothers that fled back in the past, only one survived. The other one had half his body smashed into pieces. His injuries were too severe, and he wasn't able to endure it in the end."

Speaking of what happened that year, Gui Dehan couldn't help but sigh, and said in a slightly low voice, "That day, after I received the news, the first person I saw when I rushed to the home of those two brothers was that seriously injured brother of mine. It was also because of this that I was able to see him for the last time … And that's how we got to know about their ambush from his mouth! "

"Then …"

Bamboo Shoot's voice trembled a little, but she tried her best to keep her voice calm. "What happened after we were attacked … What exactly is it?! "

"According to that brother, when your father and the others were collecting medicinal ingredients, they accidentally found something dangerous. It seems to be a treasure. "Later on, on their way back, they coincidentally encountered another group of adventurers from Tzu Cheng at a relay station. Both of them knew each other, and one of them accidentally slipped up …"

A shadow flashed across Gui Dehan's eyes. He gritted his teeth and continued, "On the night at the relay station, the other adventurer team suddenly launched an attack. Your father and the others were caught unprepared and were ambushed. In the end, only two people escaped and returned. "

Guillermo shook his head and sighed.

At this point, Bamboo Fork's eyes were already red. She asked in a trembling voice, "You said that the other adventurer team is also from Tzu Cheng?"

Gui Dehan nodded and said, "This was personally told to me by that brother before he died. It shouldn't be a lie." "And …"

Bamboo Fork immediately asked, "And what?"

"Furthermore, after that, we were indeed being hunted. The people who were chasing after us were the people that brother mentioned." Gui Dehan said in a low voice.

"Drive you away?"

Bamboo Ink's face changed, "They want to exterminate all of you? "Why is this …"

Before she even finished her sentence, she had already reacted. Not only did the other party want to kill them all, they also wanted to silence them. Their goal was obviously to prevent these people from revealing the news of their treasures.

"Of course it's for the treasure that Big Brother Zhu and the others found!"

Gui Dehan shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Ci City was only established because we were near the Heavenly Eye River and the Heavenly Eye Mountain. Those who came to Ci City were either forced to make a living or wanted to make a fortune.

Lin Cheng slightly nodded his head. He agreed with what Gudeson had said.

Bamboo Hill had once told him that Tzu Hsi City was originally just a relay station that was built later on.

Dozens of miles away was the Heaven Eye Mountain Range. In terms of passage, the water on the River of Heaven's Eyes flowed in all directions. In terms of wealth, the Heaven Eye Mountain Range was dozens of miles away.

From then on, more and more people came to explore the city, and the small station in Tzu Cheng became bigger and bigger. From a small station to a small town, and from a small town to a small city.

Because the people in the city are outsiders, the city lord is only sent by the kingdom to collect taxes. In reality, the ones responsible for maintaining order and managing the city are the first few adventurers and forces.

These forces did not have any deep roots or inheritances, but because the family head was strong, they formed a force. After absorbing other adventurers, they slowly rose to power.

For example, the Wen Family and the Chu Family had all grown up like this.

In this kind of place, it was naturally a mix of different kinds of people, not to mention that an ordinary man's wealth was his own fault. Since the news of Bamboo Hill's father had gotten the treasure and was leaked, it was normal for him to be coveted or even secretly snatched away.

"So, who is chasing after you?" Zhu Zifu took a deep breath and asked.

"This …"

Gui Dehan shook his head and said, "I'm not sure about their identities. I've only seen them in Tzu Hun City, so they should be foreign adventurers. Knowing that someone was chasing me, I quickly left Ci City. If not for … If it wasn't because I had no other choice, I wouldn't have come back to think about selling off my house. "

Bamboo upturned her delicate eyebrows and asked, "You don't know their identities?"

Gui Dehan sighed and nodded. "I really didn't know …"

"Humph!"

Before Guidehan could finish his words, Lin Cheng coldly snorted and interrupted him, "You said you don't know the identities of those people? "Very well, since that's the case, then please explain to me how you know Zhu Ziyang."

"This... I've already said it before, as the young miss of the Wen Family, Miss Zhu is the most famous young miss in the entire Ci City. Gudeson looked at Lin City with a puzzled expression, not knowing why he would ask such a repetitive question.

However, Lin Cheng coldly laughed when he heard this. "Does that mean you're already very familiar with Ci City?"

Gui Dehan immediately said, "That's only natural. Although I'm not born and bred in Ci City, I came with my father to Ci City when I was still a child. Ci City was only a small town then. Right, my father built this house …"

"But the Miss Zhu you spoke of back then wasn't even born yet, right?" Lin Cheng interrupted him.

"This …"

Gui Dehan was stunned for a moment. "Of course. At that time, I was only a child as well."

Lin Cheng asked again, "When did you leave Ci City?"

Gudhan blurted out, "Just a few years... "We left a long time ago. Because the warriors chasing after us are all powerful, I am no match for them. I can only run away …"

"At that time, Zhu Ziquan would already be the Wen Family's Eldest Miss?" Lin Cheng interrupted him once again, and asked in a low voice while staring at him.

"Ah …"

Guillermo's jaw dropped. He was left speechless.

Swish!

Bamboo Shoot's gaze turned cold as he glared at Gui Dehan, his voice filled with killing intent. "This old man, can you give me an explanation?"

Guillermo's face turned pale.
