Chapter 33 Mission
Chapter 33 Mission
The mountains were shrouded in a hazy mist in the early morning.
In the distance, a field mouse slowly crawled out of its burrow. It looked around warily, and after confirming that there was no danger, its small body slowly headed towards the nearest meadow.
Just as it was about to reach the grassy area not far away, a pair of scarlet eyes suddenly flashed.
With its body hunched over, the venomous snake, which had been waiting for a long time, lunged at the field mouse.
The war is about to start.
A large foot quickly ran over them, crushing them both.
Chen Ran stopped in place.
"I think I stepped on something? Oh well, let's keep going."
After checking the shoes and confirming that there was nothing wrong with them, he continued towards Qinghe County.
After watching the live sex show all night, Chen Ran left just as Ning Wanqiu was about to wake up.
If she found out I'd been watching her all night, she'd probably fight me to the death.
Soon, the ancient and towering city wall appeared before Chen Ran.
As usual, they lined up to enter the city.
The procession was long, mostly consisting of villagers from outside the city and hunters carrying bows and arrows.
They were thinly dressed, pale and emaciated, and most of them wore patched hemp clothes.
"Alas, there are more and more ferocious beasts around Matou Mountain. Recently, several skilled fighters from our village have died."
Many of the village's livestock were also eaten by these wild beasts.
If this problem isn't solved, our Xijia Village might be wiped out this winter.
"Don't even mention your Xijia Village, even our Zhoujia Village has packs of wild dogs. They dig up and eat the bodies that have just been buried."
Sigh, it's so hard to live in this world.
"I heard that the city will sweep through the entire outer area before the heavy snow closes off the mountains. I hope so."
"If only I could become a disciple of Yuanhe Mountain, I've heard that the martial arts masters there are all exceptionally skilled."
"If I could become a martial arts master, the villagers wouldn't have to suffer so much."
"Yuanhe Mountain's standards for recruiting disciples are too high. If it were me, I would definitely go to the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect..."
Amidst the chatter of the crowd, Chen Ran listened for a while and overheard some interesting things.
Qinghe County.
It encompasses a vast area.
Safety can only be guaranteed within ten kilometers of Qinghe County.
Once you're outside this distance, you're no longer under the control of those forces in Qinghe County.
Beyond this distance, there are other forces in control, such as the bandit forces of Matou Mountain that Chen Ran killed before, the Yuanhe Sect of Yuanhe Mountain, and the Wan Du Sect in the rotten dense forest.
Of course, these are just a few of the more well-known forces.
There are also some other small, scattered factions.
In areas where Qinghe County and Qinghewei could not reach, they were the local bullies.
The villagers in the villages outside Qinghe County also tended to go to those few forces.
However, Chen Ran didn't care about these things for the time being.
After all, he probably won't be leaving Qinghe County anytime soon.
Even if he really leaves, it's because he has raised his strength to the limit and is leaving to break through to become even stronger.
Following the flow of people, Chen Ran entered the city.
He immediately changed his clothes and headed home.
As Chen Ran walked through the alley, he saw his master and Ning Baichuan, the head of Qingfeng Martial Arts School, standing at his door with gloomy expressions.
"Master, Master Ning, what's going on here?"
Chen Ran remained calm. It was perfectly reasonable for Ning Baichuan to come looking for Ning Wanqiu after she had been missing for a night.
"Can you see my apprentice, Ke Sheng?"
Ning Baichuan's first words left Chen Ran somewhat bewildered.
"Master Ning is joking. I am just an ordinary disciple of the Tongbei Boxing School. How could I possibly have any connection with Senior Brother Ke?"
"Really not?!?"
Ning Baichuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and a powerful aura suddenly rose from his body. His tone changed to questioning.
"Old Ning, you said you were looking for your disciple, and I brought you here. My disciple says he's never seen him before, and that's final. What are you trying to do now? Threaten my disciple?"
Zhou Changfeng's words were tinged with dissatisfaction.
We've been friends for so many years. You said you were looking for your daughter, so I brought you to find my disciple.
Although I don't know what relationship your daughter has with my disciple.
But that doesn't diminish my trust in you.
But you actually questioned my disciple right away, which clearly shows that you don't respect me.
"Ke Sheng came to this outer city with my daughter, and the person Wanqiu ultimately sought out was your good disciple, Zhou Changfeng. How can I not suspect your disciple?!"
Ning Baichuan's aura surged once more, his eyes filled with rage and a hint of despair.
Ke Sheng was the most talented disciple he had ever received.
Why promote him? It's simply to spread the word that he's their successor.
He will fight anyone who touches him.
His daughter is gone, but the mantle of his heir is gone, and he will live with regret for the rest of his life.
Chen Ran felt that there was something wrong with the old man's head.
"Master, master, we've found Miss."
Just as tensions were running high, a joyful voice came from not far away.
An elderly man with a full head of white hair was running quickly from a distance.
"Really, take me there quickly."
Ning Baichuan's eyes lit up when he heard the butler's words.
Ke Sheng is with Wan Qiu. As long as Wan Qiu is alive, Ke Sheng will be fine.
It'll be alright, it'll be alright.
Comforting himself with this thought, Ning Baichuan followed the butler out of Rat Street.
"That's pretty fast."
Chen Ran thought to himself.
"Xiao Sheng, that's just how my old friend is, so don't blame him."
Zhou Changfeng offered a soft word of comfort.
"Master, I just find it a bit strange. Master Ning of Qingfeng Martial Arts School doesn't seem to like his daughter very much? Is his disciple more important than his daughter?"
Fearing Zhou Changfeng would ask too many questions, Chen Ran subtly changed the subject.
"Ning Baichuan is a traditional martial artist. For him, his daughter will eventually get married, and only his successor can be his support."
Zhou Changfeng sighed.
"I see?"
"Alright, I'll be going out of town for a while now."
If you have any problems with your cultivation, just go directly to your senior brother Yue Shan. You go ahead and do your work.
After saying that, Zhou Changfeng patted Chen Ran on the shoulder and headed out of Rat Street.
Recalling the conversation he had overheard before entering the city, Chen Ran seemed to be deep in thought.
…………….
Street clearing.
Inside an inn.
Inside a side room on the top floor.
"Guo Rong, how is it?"
"This person is not easy to kill. I only glanced at him and saw Zhou Changfeng, the master of Tongbei Boxing School, and Ning Baichuan, the master of Qingfeng Martial Arts School, at the target's door."
If I hadn't turned my eyes in time, those two experts with three levels of health would probably have spotted me.
"These two figures, who have intricate connections with him, were only ranked as a lower-level member of the sect. What were those people in the Pure Fire Department eating to grow up like this?"
"After all, he's just a first-blood warrior. Even if he's special, he's nothing special."
"Let's make our move tonight. With the Poison Blood Duo here, we can kill even a second-level blood warrior if given the chance."
"That's true, shall we make our move tonight?"
"Let's make our move tonight."
