"Leave a note. If you don't pay now, you will pay later."
The proprietress did not embarrass Xing Nan, and it seemed that she was not very interested in Lingshi and Xuanjing.
"Thank you, boss lady, for being so accommodating."
Xing Nan quickly made a note, just like the last time he came to borrow the spirit stone.
However, he finally understood that he would not be able to leave the Kirigakure Inn for a short period of time.
And from the behavior of the landlady these days, as well as her words and demeanor, it can be seen that she is by no means as simple as she seems on the surface, and she is definitely not a simple inn landlady.
Both the boss's wife and the master's shopkeeper must be powerful people, but Xing Nan cannot guess the specific extent of their cultivation.
"This is a debt that Her Highness the Princess should bear. You can completely deny it, but you shoulder it with all your strength. Do you really like her princess?"
The landlady put the note in her sleeve and asked with a smile.
"I don't dare to have such extravagant hopes. As the landlady said, I rescued her. Now that she is gone, I will naturally bear the debt. If I cheat, won't you, the landlady, suffer a big loss?"
He replied with reason.
"You are no different from a cheater now." The landlady replied angrily.
"No matter what, I still accept my debt. As long as I am still alive and making progress, who can guarantee that I will never pay off my debt one day?"
Xing Nan was somewhat confident, and the huge debt did not make him despair.
"Go down and work."
The landlady didn't have the leisure to keep talking to Xing Nan. After saying this, she picked up the tea cup with her left hand and waved at Xing Nan with her right hand.
****
In Lanfeng City, deep inside the Luo family's mansion.
The head of the Luo family is currently sitting in a study room, holding a book in his hand and concentrating on reading its contents.
On his right hand side, there is a tea set, a teapot, and several tea cups.
Judging from his expression, he looked calm and calm, and even seemed to be enjoying himself.
Although last year, Xing Nan killed Luo Rong, a member of the Luo family, which made him very angry, but considering that the Xing family no longer exists, in the entire Blue Maple City, apart from the aloof city lord's palace, there are only
He gradually felt relieved that the Xue family could compete with the Luo family.
Moreover, Luo Heng, the genius of the Luo family, had successfully advanced to the level of a martial artist, and was taken away by a master of the Xuanwu Sect. This brought the relationship between the Luo family and the Xuanwu Sect much closer, and he intuitively felt that the Luo family would become more powerful in his hands.
As for the annoying Xing Nan, unless he has been hiding in the Wuyin Inn, as long as he dares to walk alone a thousand feet away from the Wuyin Inn, he will definitely die.
Luo Biao took a leisurely sip of tea and stared at the scroll again.
He has been studying books in the study recently, and these books were moved from the Xing family's residence.
Tuk Tuk!
Someone is knocking on the door.
"Come in."
Luo Biao did not put down the book, and his eyes did not even shift.
A middle-aged man who looked about forty years old came in. His expression looked a little abnormal. After entering, he bowed and saluted, and then said: "Father, Luo Qiang is dead."
When Luo Biao heard this, his palms couldn't help but tremble. He put down the book and frowned: "Isn't Luo Qiang watching over at the Kirigakure Inn? Why did he suddenly die? Could it be that he was impatient with life and ran into Kirigakure?
Is there something going on in the inn? Where are the others?"
The middle-aged man shook his head and said: "Not only Luo Qiang, but also the eight masters from the clan we arranged at the Wuyin Inn are all dead. Their bodies were found in the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts. They were not in the same location. It seems that
But they were killed by the same person using the same palm technique, and there were obvious signs of a fight around the body. It is estimated that the person who killed them did not exceed them by much in terms of strength."
"Is that what Xing Nan did?" Luo Biao asked, squinting his eyes.
"This is not certain for the time being, but Luo Qiang is a third-level martial artist. Even if Xing Nan manages to kill Luo Qiang by luck, how can he kill the other three martial arts masters? And it can be seen from the obvious traces of the fight that at that time
It should be a head-on confrontation." The middle-aged man shook his head and replied.
"To kill Luo Qiang cleanly and neatly, one must be at least a fifth-grade martial artist or above. I don't think Xing Nan can make such a big improvement. Could it be someone from the Wuyin Inn or the Xue family?" Luo
Biao also looked a little surprised.
"The four dead warriors all looked like they were killed by long swords, but all four warriors were injured in the inner abdomen by an extremely powerful palm technique and died. It was obviously the work of warriors. The Xue family is a family of swordsmen.
, there shouldn’t be such a powerful warrior.”
The middle-aged man first analyzed calmly, and then added: "I went to the scene to see that Luo Qiang and the others should have been dead for two or three days, and just two days ago in the morning, someone saw Xing Nan holding a man in his arms.
A woman ran out of the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts and collapsed at the entrance of the Kirigakure Inn. At that time, Xing Nan was seriously injured, with scars and blood all over her body."
Luo Biao's eyes grew colder and he said: "Even if this matter was not done by Xing Nan, it is probably related to him. Our Luo family has not had any grudges with powerful people or forces, large or small, in recent years. If there are those who have grudges with us, they are not.
There is only the Xing family. Luo Feng, you personally take people to Wuyin Inn to keep an eye on it, and at the same time ask Luo Ping to carefully investigate the truth of the matter."
Luo Feng is the eldest son of Luo Biao. He has been practicing martial arts for more than forty years and is now a fifth-level martial artist. He also has another identity, that is, the father of Luo Heng, the genius of the Luo family.
"Yes, father."
Luo Feng clasped his fists and bowed again, then retreated towards the door.
"Remember, don't go into Kirigakure Inn to look for trouble."
Luo Biao seemed a little worried. When his eldest son retreated to the door, he added: "Let your second uncle go with you."
"Second uncle? He's back?"
Luo Feng looked a little surprised.
Luo Feng's second uncle is Luo Biao's younger brother Luo Meng, who is now in his seventies. He competed with Luo Biao for the position of head of the family back then. At that time, the two brothers had similar cultivation levels and similar abilities in dealing with things. However,
Luo Biao took advantage of the eldest son and finally got what he wanted. Luo Meng did not feel resentful because of this, but rarely interfered with the affairs of the Luo family. From then on, he retreated to the second line, focusing only on martial arts. He often went out to find quiet places to practice in seclusion, such as
Like idle clouds and wild cranes, many descendants of the Luo family hardly knew or ignored the existence of Luo Meng.
But Luo Meng is a genuine top master of the Luo family. Back then, his strength was not weaker than Luo Biao, and he had devoted himself to studying martial arts for many years. Now he suddenly came back from the outside. He is estimated to have made great progress in his cultivation. You must know that he went out this time, but
It took ten years.
"I'm back. I said that I haven't contributed to the Luo family for a long time. Now that I'm back, I will try my best to assist me and make the Luo family stronger."
Luo Biao nodded and said: "He should be in the martial arts field at the moment. You can go find him."
Luo Feng then retreated.
****
At night, Xing Nan was in his room, wandering around the bodies of the two monster beasts that looked like kangaroos, holding the Silent Shadow Sword in his hand.
After turning around for a few times, he started to move, and the sword energy was poured into the Silent Shadow Sword, making the whole room shine with sword light.
Swish, swish, swish!
The Silent Shadow Sword struck out frequently, splitting the heads of the two monster beasts, and Xing Nan dug out two inner elixirs from them.
The inner elixir of monsters is often in their heads, and monsters with lower levels cannot spit out the inner elixir to fight. However, all monsters that have mastered the inner elixir can activate the demonic power in the inner elixir.
To form stronger demonic and magical powers, however, these demonic and magical powers consume a lot of money, and unless danger is imminent, they will not be used easily.
These two monsters were naturally not high-level. When they fought with Xing Nan, they did not realize the danger at first, but by the time they realized it, it was already over.
Furthermore, when fighting in close quarters, it is often difficult to hit the target using magical powers.
If you sell two mid-level second-level monster inner elixirs, you can get a lot of spiritual stones.
Xing Nan was in a special situation. He wanted the inner elixir of the demonic beasts to have little effect. On the contrary, the flesh and bones of the two demonic beasts had a greater effect on him.
He collected the two inner elixirs, which were like earth-yellow beads, and prepared to sell them to the guests at the inn tomorrow, and then used the Silent Shadow Sword to cut the flesh and bones of the two monster beasts into pieces.
He chopped the flesh and blood of the monster into meat paste, ground the bones into bone powder, and soaked them in some special potions...
Now that I am heavily in debt, I can only one day pay off my debts by continuing to improve my strength.
And in order to refine the Yin Demon Blood Seal in his body, he must increase his strength as soon as possible, otherwise the Yin Demon Blood Seal will explode and the consequences will be disastrous.
The serious injury I suffered last time in the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts will take some time to recover. The proprietress gave herself a Xiaohuan Dan, and she should be able to recover in a few days.
After recovering, in order to practice for a long time, he has to go to the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts to hunt monsters.
For nearly a month, Xing Nan did not leave the Wuyin Inn again. He worked in the waiting room on the first floor of the inn during the day and practiced the Dragon Elephant Kung Fu to temper his body at night.
The meat sauce and bone powder of the two monster beasts have been used up by Xing Nan, and the quality of his body is enough to support him in advancing to the late stage of the sword fetus.
But he did not have enough spirit stones to purchase a spirit sword to provide sword spirit for his practice, so earning spirit stones became his top priority.
He couldn't help but regret a little. He really shouldn't have given the five hundred pieces of middle-grade spiritual stones to the proprietress. For the total amount of debts he owed, five hundred pieces of medium-grade spiritual stones was undoubtedly a drop in the ocean.
He was too embarrassed to go to the landlady to borrow spiritual stones, and the two demonic beast inner elixirs only allowed him to exchange for a thousand low-grade spiritual stones.
A thousand low-grade spiritual stones are only ten middle-grade spiritual stones, which is far from enough to buy a low-grade spiritual sword, and a low-grade spiritual sword is not enough to advance him to the later stage of sword fetus.
Xing Nan had no other way to earn spiritual stones. The only way he could think of was to hunt monsters in the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts.
But in this month, he discovered that the Luo family appeared again around the Wuyin Inn.
It was obvious that even the tragic deaths of four martial artists still did not make the Luo family give up.
No matter what, he had to go to the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts.
What is different from most of the time-travel characters in the novels I have read in my previous life is that Xing Nan traveled to this world just to live and live longer, and not to grovel and linger, but to live freely and unrestrainedly.
alive.
The days of enduring humiliation and burden were the most torturous. He was already tired of it. Even if it meant death, he would give it a try!
