The next day, at three o'clock in the morning, Chen Nan lazily climbed out of bed. After he finished washing up, a rare visitor from Kamikaze Academy came to visit.
He had already changed to an inn, but he was still found by the people from the Kamikaze Academy. He could only express his admiration at the great power of these people.
The visitor was Ruth, a beautiful woman he had met several times. When Kamikaze Academy admitted new students to Kamikaze Academy, this sexy and hot beauty left a deep impression on him.
However, Chen Nan had a prejudice against this beautiful woman. Not long ago, when he went to Kamikaze Academy to sell divine bones to the vice-president, he was hunted down by Dongfang Phoenix and the little princess. It was most likely that Ruth leaked his whereabouts.
.
Although he was upset in his heart, there was no evidence. He greeted her with a smile and said, "Is there anything you want from me, beautiful lady?"
Ruth's charming face was as bright as a rose. She smiled sweetly and said: "Haha, you don't seem happy that I came to you?"
Listening to the cooing voice, Chen Nan didn't know why, but a small pimple appeared on her body.
"Of course I welcome the beautiful lady's visit. It's not a place to talk outside the house. Please come in." Chen Nan let her into the house.
Ruth walked into the room and took a deep look at the blood-red clothes on the ground before sitting on a chair. Chen Nan secretly sighed in confusion. After coming back yesterday, he took off the blood-stained clothes and threw them away.
On the ground, it has not been disposed of until now.
"Beauty, you must have something to do with me. Tell me, what is it?"
Ruth laughed and said: "Don't be wary of me, okay? I know I accidentally mentioned you to your sister last time and caused you a lot of trouble. But I really didn't mean it. I didn't expect it.
Your brother-sister relationship is so complicated."
Ruth was the first to admit that she had leaked Chen Nan's whereabouts last time, which actually made Chen Nan embarrassed to argue with her again.
"Are you really brother and sister? Why do I feel that you two don't look alike? Every time you two meet, Little Trouble always looks like you are gnashing your teeth."
"They are absolutely true brothers and sisters." Seeing that she didn't express her true feelings, Chen Nan responded to the ever-changing situation by remaining unchanged, waiting for her to say it herself.
Ruth chatted with him some interesting stories about the little princess at Kamikaze Academy before she stopped chatting and said, "Chen Nan, you have a high level of martial arts training, but you have nothing to do all day long. Don't you think it's a pity?"
"No, I don't feel a pity at all. I feel good about it. Sitting on a high mountain watching tigers fighting, standing on a bridge watching water flow. Isn't it great to be free all day long and do what you like?"
Ruth looked directly into Chen Nan's eyes, as if to see his true inner thoughts, and finally smiled sweetly and said: "Every man dreams of being a hero, haven't you ever wanted to be a strong person who holds power and can intimidate someone?"
Chen Nan smiled and said: "Strong people... Hehe, I don't have any ambitions. I have never had such an idea. In life, everyone has his own way of living. I think as long as I am happy, otherwise I will dominate the world."
, there is no happiness to speak of if you are the supreme person.”
"Haha, you are really detached, but you don't seem to mean what you say. The emperor who rules the world has thousands of lives in his hands, and no one dares to challenge his will. The whole world is under his control, how can we say that he is unhappy?
"Ruth stared closely into his eyes and said: "And you think that you can live freely as a wandering crane, but is this really the case? As far as I know, you were hunted yesterday, and the bloody clothes in your house have shown it.
You escaped after a fierce battle, is this what you call a happy life?"
Chen Nan said coldly: "What is your relationship with those three people yesterday?"
"Don't doubt me. I just learned about yesterday's events from special channels. I am just telling you to understand something. As long as people live in this world, they are bound to have some relationships with other people. If you want to
Life in this world is better, but it is impossible without power..."
"What exactly do you want to say?" Chen Nan interrupted her.
"I want you to join a certain camp and provide you with a broad stage. If you perform well, you will inevitably gain glory and wealth in the future."
Chen Nan had already realized Ruth's purpose of coming here today. She wanted him to join a certain force and came here to lobby him.
"I disappoint you. I really don't have much ability. You may think that my kung fu is pretty good, but other than that, I don't have any special skills. Besides, I'm used to living an unrestrained life and don't want to be bound by any force."
Ruth said: "In fact, what we need are cultivators with advanced cultivation, and we will not have any restrictions on these people who are terminally ill. The tasks are not many, and everyone is usually free and enjoys privileges.
For example, financial, material, and human resources can be mobilized for your use. Of course, the size of the privileges you enjoy is proportional to your potential. I am very optimistic about you. Being able to defeat Eastern Phoenix shows that your potential is very impressive. If you join our organization,
The privileges you enjoy will be great."
Chen Nan already understood that Ruth was most likely working for a certain country. She came to Kamikaze Academy not for training, but for the purpose of recruiting available talents.
He didn't want to serve the forces behind her, but he also didn't want to offend them. He smiled and said: "It really makes me ashamed that you value me so much. But I really don't want to join any force, and I don't care much about power, status, etc. Haha, you
It can be said that I am hopeless and have no ambition, that’s how I am.”
Ruth twisted her waist and lay down on the rattan lounge chair. Her slim and graceful body was undulating, with her firm breasts, slender waist and round and plump jade buttocks carving out perfect arcs.
, making it impossible to find a single flaw.
Ruth said lazily: "If you work for us, you will not only have an unexpected power and position, but also endless money, and beautiful women... We will try our best to meet your requirements."
Speaking of beauty, she added red lips, a charming look on her face, and her big watery eyes seemed to be seducing, and she kept glancing at Chen Nan.
Such a fragrant temptation made Chen Nan feel hot, but he soon regained his composure. He couldn't bear such poppies. The power behind Ruth was by no means simple. It was most likely similar to the Qishi Mansion in Chu State.
He cannot afford to offend such a force, and he does not want to sacrifice his life for any force.
Seeing that he was unmoved, Ruth kicked off one of her shoes, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally, and her smooth, jade-like feet appeared before Chen Nan's eyes like jade sculptures.
She seemed a little panicked, curling up her foot into her skirt. Through the white gauze skirt, she could see the hazy and varied arcs of her legs, which aroused people's imagination. Her small white feet were looming, making people feel excited.
Such a sexy and enchanting woman was seducing him, which made Chen Nan's heart beat faster, but he didn't show any signs of it.
Seeing that the seduction failed, Ruth sat up from the recliner and put on the shoe as if nothing had happened.
"Chen Nan, you should think about it carefully. I really hope you can work for us." Seeing Chen Nan about to speak, Ruth said: "Don't deny my request firmly. I will give you time to think about it. If there is someone else,
Looking for you, I hope you can choose us." As she said that, she stood up.
Chen Nan thought for a moment and said, "I will not join any force." He bit the word "any" heavily and said, "Although I have failed to live up to your kindness, we are still friends and will never become enemies."
Chen Nan did not want the forces behind Ruth to regard him as a potential threat after this incident, so he stated that he would not join other organizations to become their enemies.
"Haha, a person's power is limited after all. Whenever you need my help, just come to me." Ruth suddenly stopped when she walked to the door, turned around and smiled: "In the past few days, I seem to have seen a man from the Moon Worshiping Kingdom.
The prince, two men and one woman were walking very close to each other."
Chen Nan nodded and said, "Thank you."
"Haha, if you join us, you will get more information." Ruth's eyes flashed, she winked at him, turned and left.
Chen Nan watched her disappear at the courtyard gate before returning to the house. He thought about what Ruth just said. According to what she hinted at, the two men who assassinated him yesterday and one of the women must have been sent by the third prince of the Moon Worshiping Kingdom.
.
He had guessed this possibility earlier. He and Renjian had a deep feud in the western border of Chu State. Not long ago, he had a bad reputation when he visited Shenfeng Academy several times. Renjian must have discovered it and sent someone to assassinate him.
, not surprising at all.
"Renjian, I didn't bother you, but you came to my door and wanted to kill me, huh, we'll see."
After lunch, Chen Nan left the inn, inquired with passers-by and came to the Mercenary Union in Sin City.
The City of Freedom has a special geographical location, located between the Eastern and Western Continents. It is one of the most important hub cities on the continent. People traveling to and from the Eastern and Western Continents must pass through here, and the mercenary industry is thriving on this road.
Half of Sin City's daily supplies are supplied by itself, and the other half are continuously transported from the east and west continents. Due to the long distance, escorts are indispensable. This is also the reason why the mercenary industry flourishes.
The mercenary union in the city accepts a large number of tasks every day, and then waits for mercenaries or mercenary groups to come and claim them.
Although it is already noon and it is time to eat, there is still a constant flow of people coming in and out.
Looking at the crowded flow of people, Chen Nan did not enter the hall of the mercenary union, but stopped at the door. He wanted to find someone to investigate the recent developments of the third prince Renjian, but it was not easy to directly entrust the mercenary union.
Check at the door to see if you can expect a mercenary who comes to chat with you.
Sure enough, he lived up to his expectations. A dozen mercenaries outside the hall had noticed him, and one of them walked towards him. However, this mercenary was a little older, probably in his fifties, and his hair was already graying.
"Little brother, do you need help?" The old mercenary greeted Chen Nan.
The old mercenary is of medium build, about the same height as Chen Nan. Time has left obvious traces on his face, and some wrinkles have appeared on his slightly dark face. However, he is very energetic, with bright eyes, but he only blinks.
There is occasionally a hint of cunning in his movements.
Chen Nan was delighted. He seemed to be a veteran. In the mercenary business, he would inevitably encounter dangers. At his age, he had not quit yet. He not only relied on his own strength, but also needed scheming and means to avoid it.
Countless storms.
"Old man, how many years have you been working as a mercenary?"
"It's been about thirty years since I was young."
"Oh, so you are an experienced mercenary."
"Yes, that is indeed the case. But now that I am getting older, I no longer accept the task of leaving Sin City. Those tasks are all left to my apprentices."
Chen Nan's eyes lit up and he said, "You still have a disciple, so you are at least a leader-level figure."
The old mercenary smiled and said: "Pretty much. In fact, I rarely take the initiative to ask people for tasks. I am just used to walking around here every day. But today I saw you, a young man, who seemed a little special. I noticed that
You seem to have extraordinary cultivation, and I am very curious about what kind of task you want to entrust."
"This..." Chen Nan pondered for a while. He really felt a little embarrassed about investigating a prince.
The old mercenary was experienced in the world for a long time. How could he not see that he had concerns? He smiled and said: "Haha, little brother, don't worry. Those in our profession must be strict with their mouths and will not tell the customer's mission indiscriminately."
Chen Nan said: "I want to entrust you to investigate a person, but his identity is unusual. Do you dare to take on this task?"
The old mercenary narrowed his eyes, then smiled and said: "No problem, as long as it's not an assassination."
With an instinctive intuition, Chen Nan felt that the shrewd old man in front of him was trustworthy and could entrust him with the investigation of Renjian. "I would like to ask you to help me investigate a student of Shenfeng Academy, his name is
Renjian is the third prince of the Moon Worshiping Kingdom. I would like to know his latest updates and who he has been in contact with. The more detailed the better."
"It's such a small thing, I thought it was such a big deal." The old mercenary said with a smile.
Chen Nan said: "He is a monastic, probably a student of the monastic department."
The old mercenary smiled and said: "It's just an investigation of one person. Regardless of whether he is a prince or a prince, this matter is easy for me to handle."
"Excuse me, how many gold coins do you need?" Chen Nan felt somewhat guilty. He only had a hundred gold coins on him. Logically speaking, it wouldn't cost much to investigate a person, but due to Ren Jian's different status, he was afraid that the old mercenary Shi Shi would open his mouth.
"Haha, it doesn't cost much to investigate a person. My people can find the information you want in one day. So, just make a friend and I will investigate for you for free."
"Why are you so embarrassed? You'd better make a price." Chen Nan declined.
"It's not empty talk that you are born from the heart. I have observed that you are definitely not a villain, and I feel that you have a profound martial arts training. It is not easy to have such a training at such an age. If you don't dislike it, let's make friends.
.”
Chen Nan released a few weak zhenqi, and probed the old mercenary's cultivation several times, but failed to come to a clear conclusion. He was a little surprised. The old man in front of him seemed to have extraordinary cultivation, and might be a super master.
"Haha, my good intentions can't be contradicted. My hair is as old as new, my hair is as old as before, and our relationship does not depend on the years. My brother and I hit it off instantly, and my younger brother's surname is Chen, oh..." Chen Nan was about to say his own
name, but suddenly realized that the real name must not be revealed.
The old mercenary was sophisticated and saw that he seemed to have something to hide, so he hurriedly interjected: "Haha, my surname is Li, you can call me Brother Li, and I'll call you Brother Chen."
"Brother Li, I'm sorry that you want to be friends with me, but I really have an unspeakable secret and can't reveal my real name." Now that he knew that the old man in front of him was a super master and was willing to be friends with him, Chen Nan frankly told the truth. "I
So I asked someone to investigate Renjian, because I suspected that he had sent someone to assassinate me. For the safety of my life, I had to do this in order to take necessary measures."
Due to the turmoil in Chu's imperial capital, although the news has been blocked by Chu, he still refuses to reveal his name to avoid unnecessary trouble. As for the matter between him and Ren Jian, he is not afraid of the news leaking out.
The old mercenary smiled and said: "Everyone has some privacy. Brother Chen can be so honest, and he has already taken a liking to me. Come here tomorrow at noon, and I will tell you the results of the investigation."
Chen Nan thanked the old mercenary named Li and walked out of the mercenary union. When he walked out, he found that many mercenaries on both sides were looking at him. After listening carefully, the words of the conversation came to him.
's ears.
"Senior Li, do you know that young man?"
"Old people usually don't take the initiative to say hello to others."
…
After listening carefully, he found that the man he just met, Mr. Li, seemed to be well-known in the mercenary industry and seemed to be a heavyweight.
After Chen Nan returned to the inn, he stopped going out and began to calmly adjust his breathing in the room. He decided to take some necessary measures after understanding Ren Jian's recent developments. Of course, while preparing for a possible war, he spent his free time
