His lips were trembling: "This kind of unusual handwriting..."
"It's unmistakable, this is exactly what the gentleman left behind!"
"That means... this seemingly thin young man in front of me is really the destined person that my benefactor said he was destined to be?"
Immediately, Chen Shen noticed that the halo on the head of the old city lord changed rapidly. In just a blink of an eye, it changed from goose yellow, which symbolized "neutral" emotions, to light green, which represented "friendliness".
"It has been twenty-seven years since we said goodbye that day."
"Now, this city lord can finally fulfill his mission for my father!"
Then, the old city lord suppressed his excitement and said: "It will be great if you come, it will be great if you come!"
The other party's attitude suddenly changed, leaving Chen Shen stunned: "Uh... what exactly is this situation?"
"Hahahahaha, this is a long story!"
The old city lord patted the other party's shoulder in a friendly manner and said: "Let's go, let's go to my city lord's palace to have a rest. Let's eat, drink and chat."
"Isn't it necessary to eat and drink? I'm in a hurry, so I appreciate your kindness."
As the saying goes, "If anyone respects me, I will give him a foot in return." The old city lord was so kind now, and Chen Shen's words became much more polite.
"I'm in a hurry...that's all."
The old city lord did not force it, and his enthusiasm remained the same: "I, the city lord, will accompany you in now, and we will chat while we walk."
When the gate guards saw this, their eyes almost popped out, and they scrambled to open the door.
Then he stood respectfully aside, squatting slightly on his knees, leaning forward and tapping his chest with his fists, not even daring to breathe, let alone look at Chen Shen!
It wasn't until the footsteps of the old city lord and the young man completely disappeared that their tense nerves suddenly relaxed. Their legs went limp and they sat paralyzed on the ground——
"Huh~ Fortunately, the big man has a lot of them, otherwise... I would have shed my skin today even if I didn't die."
Another gate guard wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and muttered: "It really scared me to death."
"Who would have thought that the poor and ugly boy who was scolded by us in such a harsh voice would be treated as an honored guest by the Lord of the City?"
"You're such a 'we, we' guy, if you hadn't taken the initiative, I wouldn't have been so disrespectful to that barbarian!"
"Tch~ You're not much better. When you see someone thin and poorly dressed, you look arrogant. Do you really think I can't tell?"
"Uh-huh, okay, okay, let's not discuss this issue. In my opinion... it's better to find an opportunity to apologize to that big man as soon as possible."
"That's right, maybe that big man didn't remember us little shrimps."
"But what if he gets what he wants and suddenly thinks of us making things difficult for him when he comes out? Is that okay?"
"Well...that makes sense. Apologize. You must take the initiative to apologize!"
"But what should we give as an apology? He is a big man who can afford the Qiankun Bag, and he is rich in wealth. Ordinary gadgets are simply out of his reach."
After pondering for a while, a guard whispered: "How about... Xiaoqin, can you give me the green bracelet you showed off to your buddy?"
When the guard at the gate, known as Xiaoqin, heard this, he immediately jumped up and down, shaking his head like a rattle: "No, no, absolutely not!"
"That's the book my father left for my wife!"
"Are you stupid?"
"We have offended the city lord's distinguished guests, and if we don't pay attention, our position in the bodyguard army will be lost. Why are you talking about getting a wife? A rogue cultivator with no way out and no strong strength, who is willing to follow you?"
Several others tried to persuade them for a while, but finally Xiaoqin finally agreed, but still asked for some compensation from others——
After all, everyone caused this disaster together, there is no reason for Xiaoqin to take the blame alone.
At the same time, on the bluestone road with twists and turns in the compound, the old city lord was strolling and chatting with Tong Chenshen: "To be honest, twenty-seven years ago, the life of this city lord was determined by the owner of this manor.
Saved."
"My father was still alive at that time, so he promised the benefactor many benefits, but he didn't want any of them."
"In the end, he just took away some less valuable colored stones and such a manor."
"For this reason, my father always feels that he has treated his benefactor badly."
"But the benefactor said: As long as we can help him guard this house after he leaves, and prevent the things he left to his destined people from being ruined by natural disasters and man-made disasters, that will be the greatest reward."
"Ten years ago, when my father was on his deathbed, he never forgot to tell me to protect my benefactor's house just like I protect the city of beasts."
"Therefore, I hung the plaque of 'Military Tuncang' here afterwards and sent heavy troops to guard it."
"It's okay now. The destined person that my benefactor has been waiting for for many years has finally appeared..."
After saying that, the old city lord couldn't help but smile happily after his great wish was fulfilled.
Hearing this, Chen Shen snickered in his heart: "Haha, in fact, for our generation of cultivators, those 'colored stones' you call them are already extremely precious feedback."
"But having said that, the father and son of the Shuo Feng Fighting Beast City are both people who know how to repay their kindness, which is very rare."
Not long after, Chen Shen stopped in front of the west wing pavilion: "This is it."
Chen Shen turned around and smiled at the old city lord: "The things I want to take are buried under the pavilion. If they stir up in a while, they will inevitably disturb the neighbors."
"Don't worry. Since this is our benefactor's long-cherished wish, you can do whatever you want with it."
"This city lord is waiting here. If you need help with anything, just ask."
Chen nodded: "Then it's time for you, Senior Lao."
Then, he walked into the pavilion and used his familiarity to crack the formation, smashed open the entrance to the cellar, and sneaked in to harvest.
After a while, Chen Shen felt happy: "Hahahahaha!"
"This place really did not disappoint me. Not only are the top quality spiritual stones piled up there, there is also a Space Mysterious Ring filled with spiritual stones."
"Including the remaining spiritual stones I had before, I now have a total of one billion catties of top-grade spiritual stones, which is equivalent to one hundred billion catties of high-grade spiritual stones!"
"If we include all the high-grade spiritual stones we exchanged for from the Kai clan, I now have 320 billion kilograms of high-grade spiritual stones."
"This number is getting closer and closer to the 500 billion kilograms of high-grade spiritual stones required to fuse the Moonlight Warrior's soul fragments..."
Before leaving the cellar, Chen Shen conveniently picked up the "treasure map" left here by the mysterious man.
When he returned to the gate accompanied by the old city lord, he suddenly saw four guards bowing their heads and knocking on their chests: "We had a bad attitude and harsh words before, which is really inappropriate."
"Now that we all regret it beyond measure, we have come here to apologize. Please, Your Excellency Daman, please accept our apology!"
After saying that, Xiaoqin directly raised an exquisite emerald bracelet in front of Chen Shen.
When the latter saw this, his heart jumped wildly: "This, is this a space mysterious bracelet?"
