C1237 Yun City Has Left the City
As the safest city on the border, there were many residents in Guandong City. The most impressive one was an old man who lived on the street closest to the city gate.
The old man looked to be about seventy or eighty years old. He looked very old. His origin was very mysterious. He came to Guandong City ten years ago. At that time, the Guandong City was still very old, and only the city was a relatively safe place. As for an old man who had no one to rely on, he naturally couldn't settle down in the city. He could only stay at the edge of the city.
The old man only had one arm, if placed elsewhere... Someone would definitely associate him with the old Divine Immortal who was known by everyone in Guandong City. However, as long as they saw this old man, they wouldn't have such thoughts.
This old man called himself Yun Cheng. He usually looked very inconspicuous. He didn't even have a single Spiritual Force on him. His long white hair was always messy and messy. Because he had lost an arm, he couldn't do any heavy work. He could only open up a vegetable field in the wasteland of the city and grow some crops to be self-sufficient. Even so, along with the prosperity of Guandong City, these desolate lands were also occupied by people.
However, he did not argue about this and only changed to another place to continue planting. Until a few years ago, there was no place in the city that could grow vegetables anymore. And outside the city, it was extremely dangerous. Only then did City Lord in Guandong City order people to send some food to the old man every month. But even so, the old man's life was still very pitiful.
Food was a very precious thing at the border, so there were often people who snuck into the old man's shabby house and stole all the rice and flour in the house.
The old man usually dressed very slovenly, as if he only had two pieces of clothing. One was a black tight suit, and the other was a white Confucian robe. If it were winter, he would find another piece of clothing that he had worn for who knows how many years. The already shiny wool carpet wrapped around him. Because of the lack of food and clothing all year round, the old man was already skinny from hunger.
Because of his appearance, no one in Guandong City was willing to interact with him.
Therefore, after planting, the old man usually had nothing to do. He just sat at the door of his house and looked towards the northwest direction, lost in thought. No one knew what he was thinking about.
Some people said that he was thinking about his hometown.
Yun Batian entered the city from outside the city gate. City Lord and Zheng De hurriedly called his secretary. The two of them followed Yun Batian, hoping to give him some help when Yun Batian needed it.
Yun Batian, who had already become a general, did not put on airs. He let the two of them ride horses and follow behind him. He just brought a group of people and wandered around the city.
After entering the city gate, they headed south. This was the outer area of Guandong City. The people living here were all old and lonely old people. At a glance, it was a shocking sight.
When the chief saw this scene, he could not help but frown. From Zheng De's face, he could tell that Yun Batian must have an extraordinary status. However, he really couldn't figure out why Yun Batian would come to such a place.
However, the young master naturally didn't dare to ask about the noble identity of the young master. Seeing that his own City Lord didn't say anything, he could only follow quietly.
Suddenly, Yun Batian came to a very old thatched house and stopped in front of it. Even in the poorest place in the Guandong City, this house looked especially worn-out. However, Yun Batian didn't say anything and just walked towards the door.
Of course, the young master knew about this place. The old man who lived here had moved here ten years ago. He had no one to rely on in Guandong City. It was a very pitiful place. Because of this, City Lord would send some food here every once in a while.
In the past, at this time, that old man should be sitting at the door and staring blankly in the northwest direction. But now it was already September, and the weather at the border was already very cold. Perhaps it was because of this, but he didn't see the old man at the door.
However, Yun Batian, who was unreachable in the eyes of the thin-master, did not mind coming to the door and lightly knocked on it a few times.
"Just leave the food at the door. The old man's voice came out. Although he was as thin as firewood, his voice was always so loud and clear.
"It's me. Yun Batian said calmly. However, when he saw the light flashing in his eyes, he was obviously not calm at all.
There was no more sound coming from the room, but very quickly, the door opened with a creak. An old man who looked very slovenly walked out of the room. He first sized up Yun Batian from head to toe. After that, he asked, "Aren't you going to the Dongfang Alliance? Why did you come back so soon?"
Right at this moment, his eyes suddenly fell behind Yun Batian. That girl must have a high status, and her appearance was enough to make people lose their minds.
Master Bo moved his feet. He knew that Yun Batian's status wasn't low. This woman had been very close to Yun Batian along the way. In the young master's opinion, the girl must have a close relationship with Yun Batian. However, just as he was about to go forward and scold the old man for being rude, he was stopped by Zheng De.
Although the secretary was puzzled by City Lord's behavior, he only looked at Zheng De in puzzlement.
At this moment, the old man made a move that made the young master's eyeballs almost fall out of his eyes. The expression on his face suddenly became ferocious. Then, he flew up abruptly and flew towards the city.
However, the woman whom he had been staring at for a long time shouted loudly, "Don't go!" Then, she also flew up and caught up to the old man at an extremely fast speed. Then, she hugged him tightly from behind.
"Yun Cheng, I found you." A sobbing voice came out of the woman's mouth. It sounded like the weeping of a cuckoo. However, the expression on the old man's face was still very determined. He pushed the woman away. He said to her, "I don't want you to see me like this."
Then, he prepared to leave again.
But at this moment, Yun Batian, who was on the ground, shouted loudly, "Father!!"
Yun Cheng's body trembled when he heard that. He stopped moving and turned around to look at Yun Cheng and then at Lingying. He was at a loss for what to do.1
Yun Cheng hurriedly caught up with the two people. The three of them were suspended in midair. He did not know what they were talking about. The Guandong City Master Bo and Zheng De on the ground raised their heads and looked at the sky. The Master Bo was so shocked by the series of changes that he was unable to speak.
The three of them talked for a while, and soon flew out of the city. The people from the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion who were following Yun Batian naturally followed them.
"Sigh, he still left." When Zheng De saw that everyone had left, he suddenly sighed. There was a slightly disappointed expression on his face. However, Master Bo asked with a puzzled expression, "City Lord, who exactly is this old man?"
"Him?" Zheng De turned his head to look at Master Bo and said faintly, "He is the old Divine Immortal who guarded Guandong City for ten years."
