C112 Someone He Was Familiar with

Zhu Ziqiao suddenly turned her head and was stunned to find an alley not far away from the house. There was an old man with a crooked body and tattered clothes looking at them in surprise.

"It really is Miss Xhu!"

Seeing Zhu Ziqiao turn her head, the old man immediately recognized Zhu Ziqiao.

Zhu Ziqiao was slightly stunned, "This old man, you are...?"

"Miss Xhu, my name is Gui Dehan, an Adventurer." The old man hurriedly walked over when he heard her. He bowed and bowed to Zhu Ziqiao with a flattering smile on his face.

"How do you know me?" Zhu Ziqiao quickly regained her calm and asked.

"Miss Xhu is very famous in Cicheng. Even a three year old child knows about her. How can I not know her?" The old man called Gui Dehan smiled apologetically and said.

Zhu Ziqiao nodded noncommittally and did not say anything else.

As the eldest daughter of Wen Family, there were indeed many people who knew her in Cicheng.

In fact, it was not just her, whether it was the people of the Wen Family or the Chu Family. They were all very famous in the Cicheng. To the ordinary people and the Adventurer, if they didn't know the people of these two families, they might offend them at any time. At that time, they wouldn't even know how they died.

Zhu Ziqiao was not in the mood to deal with this old man who looked like he was here to talk, so she did not speak anymore. She only turned her head to look at the house in front of her and sighed in her heart.

Lin Cheng didn't say anything either, but his gaze fell on this old man and he slightly frowned.

Lin Cheng released his senses without leaving a trace. From the old man's expression and gaze, from his heartbeat and breathing, it could be determined that he was not lying. This person was indeed wearing a worn out suit. This was the most common outfit in the Adventurer.

That was why it was basically certain that the old man was a poor and destitute Adventurer.

However, Lin Cheng was still slightly vigilant in his heart. With the Wen Family's influence in the Cicheng, such a poor and destitute Adventurer actually dared to take the initiative to talk to them. It seemed like his courage was a little too big, and this didn't make sense.

Sensing the trace of coldness in the depths of Lin Cheng's eyes, Gui Dehan couldn't help but shrink his neck subconsciously. He let out a dry laugh and said carefully, "Miss Xhu, do you have any other instructions?"

"Orders?"

Zhu Ziqiao came back to her senses and frowned slightly. Seeing the flattering smile on Gui Dehan's face, she could not help but ask, "Excuse me, do you want to do something?"

"I... It is not a big deal."

Gui Dehan hesitated for a moment and looked at Zhu Ziqiao's face. He laughed dryly, "That is... If Miss Xhu is convenient, can you buy my house?"

Zhu Ziqiao heard this and could not help but be slightly stunned. She looked at Gui Dehan in surprise.

Perhaps it was because he realized that his suggestion was very rude, Gui Dehan hurriedly explained, "Miss Xhu, please do not misunderstand. My house is a little old and worn-out. However, that is my ancestral home. If I did not need a sum of money, I would not be willing to sell it no matter what..."

Zhu Ziqiao and Lin Cheng looked at each other and saw the strange look in each other's eyes.

This old man called Gui Dehan's behavior was indeed very strange. Not only did he take the initiative to talk to her, he even wanted to sell his ancestral house to Zhu Ziqiao.

"It's done!"

Zhu Ziqiao did not want to get entangled with this person, so she shook her head and said, "I understand your meaning, sir. However, I do not have any plans to buy the house, so I can only..."

But before she finished her words, Gui Dehan immediately became anxious when he heard it. He hurriedly cupped his fists and bowed, "Miss Xhu must be magnanimous. Just treat it as giving charity to the old man. Give the old man a way out..."

Zhu Ziqiao frowned and said, "I do not understand what you are saying. There is no relationship between us. You begged me to give you a way out, but you found the wrong person, right?"

"No, no, no. Miss Xhu, you must not misunderstand. I just... I am really at a dead end. Otherwise, I will definitely not come back..."

Gui Dehan waved his hand repeatedly because he was too anxious and his face turned red. In a moment of desperation, he quickly said, "Miss Xhu, speaking of which, we are quite familiar with each other. I once explored with your father. For the sake of Big Brother Zhu, I have followed you before... "

"What did you say?!"

Before Gui Dehan could finish his words, Zhu Ziqiao's facial expression suddenly changed. Her eyes suddenly became sharp as she stared at Gui Dehan, "You just said that you once risked your life with my father?"

When she stared into Gui Dehan's eyes, her powerful Ninth Level of Chakra Stage aura was instantly unleashed. That huge pressure instantly pressed down on Gui Dehan's body.

"Argh..."

Gui Dehan only felt that Zhu Ziqiao's eyes were like two sharp blades, piercing straight into his heart. It made his entire body stiffen and his heart palpitate. His face was deathly pale. He opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but he was unable to say anything.

"Girl, don't be anxious. If you have something to ask him, ask him slowly."

Lin Cheng noticed Gui Dehan's pale face, and immediately said.

Zhu Ziqiao also realized that her tone was a little harsh. When she heard that, she tried to lower her tone as much as possible. She looked at Gui Dehan and asked, "Tell me in detail what exactly happened!"

Gui Dehan swallowed hard. After a few breaths, he recovered from the enormous pressure that Zhu Ziqiao had brought him and could not help but sigh in relief.

"Miss Xhu, back then your father was also an Adventurer. However, because of his powerful strength, there were many Adventurers that were willing to follow him. It can be considered as an Adventurer team, and I am also one of them."

Gui Dehan explained, "Under the leadership of your father, all of us have achieved some results. The one that left the deepest impression on me was that under the leadership of your father, we actually killed a Second Grade Demonic Beast."

Zhu Ziqiao frowned, "Second Grade Demonic Beast?"

Gui Dehan hurriedly said, "That's right! Of course, if it was a normal Second Grade Demonic Beast, we definitely don't have the ability to hunt for it. Being able to escape is already considered not bad. However, the Second Grade Demonic Beast we encountered that time was seriously injured. According to your father's judgment, that Demonic Beast should have been defeated after a fierce battle with the other Demonic Beast. It happened to be us! "

Zhu Ziqiao slowly nodded her head. Only then did she feel relieved in her heart.

Anyone who could be called a Demonic Beast was not something that an ordinary Adventurer could challenge, much less hunt.

However, there would also be fights between Demonic Beast. For example, there would be fights over territories. Moreover, the fights would be extremely intense. If one was able to encounter a seriously injured Demonic Beast, one would have a chance to kill it.

"When we saw that Demonic Beast just now, all of us were stunned. Everyone was so scared that their bodies became stiff and their minds went blank. They didn't even have the ability to resist, they were just waiting to be eaten by the Demonic Beast."

Perhaps it was because he thought of the scene at that time, a trace of astonishment flashed across Gui Dehan's eyes. His tone was slightly trembling, as if he had returned to the time when he was scared to death. At the critical moment when his soul was about to leave his body, he licked his dry lips. Then he continued:

"But at this critical moment, your father was the first to react... He discovered that the Demonic Beast was seriously injured. Furthermore, he was the first to attack the Demonic Beast with his weapon! In the end, after injuring a dozen of our brothers, that Demonic Beast, which was already at the end of its flight, was killed by us!"

" Then... Is my father injured?"

Zhu Ziqiao could not help but ask.

Gui Dehan nodded and said, "Your father is injured, but it is not serious. It did not hurt his vitals."

Zhu Ziqiao pursed her lips, as if she saw her father's brave and fierce appearance when he was young. Her beautiful eyes couldn't help but shine.

"That Demonic Beast reminded me of a very large size, and it is covered with treasures. Whether it is its claws, the scales on its body, or its flesh... They are all very precious. In our Cicheng, we can't even produce a single Demonic Beast in a year or two. That's why we sold this Demonic Beast for a huge price! "

At this point, Gui Dehan's turbid eyes could not help but light up. " Especially that demon core, which is worth a fortune. That alchemist grandmaster from the Unification Hall is even willing to pay ten thousand gold coins to buy it. However, your father refused. "

Zhu Ziqiao was startled and immediately asked, "Why?"

Gui Dehan said," Because we killed that Demonic Beast under your father's lead. So when distributing the spoils of war, everyone unanimously voted for your father to choose first. He chose that demon core. I remember he said that before... He wanted to invite someone to refine a Bone Cleansing Pill. That Demonic Core is one of the main ingredients to refine the Bone Cleansing Pill!"

"The Demonic Beast you killed, was it the second grade Demonic Beast, Violet Tail?" When Lin Cheng, who had been silent all this time, heard these words, he suddenly asked.

Gui Dehan was startled and nodded his head subconsciously, "That's right. I heard from the alchemist grandmaster of Unification Hall that the Demonic Beast is Violet Tail... Ah, so the two of you know about the incident back then. That's great... "

Seeing Zhu Ziqiao's questioning gaze, Lin Cheng said in a low voice, "Refining the Bone Cleansing Pill requires Purple Tail's demon core. The Bone Cleansing Pill is an extremely precious pill. After consuming it, it can greatly enhance one's physique, and it can almost allow one to be reborn."

Zhu Ziqiao could not help but be surprised. She had never heard of such a pill before.0

"However, the difficulty of refining this kind of pill is extremely high. Furthermore... The required ingredients are also very rare, normally no one would refine them." Lin Cheng continued, "Most importantly, the Bone Cleansing Pill is only effective for children. The older one consumes it, the less effective it is. If you consume it after you have grown up, you can only strengthen your body. There are almost no other effects."

Zhu Ziqiao was stunned. In the next moment, she tightly pursed her lips.

Lin Cheng saw this and could not help but sigh.

Without a doubt, Zhu Ziqiao's father wanted to invite someone to refine the Bone Cleansing Pill. Clearly, it was to allow Zhu Ziqiao to be reborn after consuming it and have extraordinary talent.

This was the care and care of a father's man towards his daughter.

Unfortunately, he died young!

Lin Cheng felt the sadness in Zhu Ziqiao's heart and could not help but hold her small hand.
