C11 (2/2)

Cheng Siqi didn't answer and climbed up the city wall as well. His lean body appeared even more nimble than Li Yuan's. Without any hesitation, Cheng Siqi directly ran towards the east.

A moment later, Cheng Siqi had already entered the forest to the east. At the same time, the group of masked men in black had also arrived under the big tree at the foot of the city wall.

”It's here. There's no mistake. Let's continue chasing!” At the same time, he took the lead to leap onto the city wall. With a sniff of his nose, he chased after Cheng Siqi.

Entering the forest, Cheng Siqi took out a small bottle from her bosom and opened the bottle cap. A faint medicinal fragrance came from the bottle. It was the Breath Suspending Elixir. After smearing a little on his body, he continued to head east.

He estimated that after walking about fifty kilometers, all of the Breath Suspending Elixir had evaporated. He did not apply the medicine again but instead continued to flee at full speed.

When Cheng Siqi took out the medicine, all the masked men in black had arrived. However, when they arrived, there was no trace of them.

The masked old man frowned. He removed the black cloth from his face, revealing a sinister old face. The other masked men around him could feel the old man's aura, and didn't dare to breathe too loudly.

”Continue searching in the forest, it should be here!” The old man said in a low voice.

About a quarter of an hour later, a young man quickly ran up to the old man, cupped his fist, and said: ”Elder, we found some Qi in the east!”

”Let's go!” The old man turned into a black shadow and chased towards the east.

Just like that, Cheng Siqi kept running, but the distance between the two was getting further and further apart. Along the way, he kept eating Inedia Pills and various other foods to replenish his physical strength. He even changed directions several times.

A dozen days later, outside of a marketplace where the crowd was relatively dense, a twelve to thirteen year old beggar wearing tattered beast skin with a broken bowl in his hand, with disheveled hair, entered the marketplace and began to beg along the street.

It was none other than Cheng Siqi. At this moment, he seemed like a completely different person. When placed in the crowd, no one was even willing to look at him.

A few days ago, he had already escaped, completely getting rid of the group of black-clothed people. However, he knew in his heart that getting out of danger was all thanks to the Suffocation Potion left behind by Old Dong. He discovered that the Suffocation Potion could not only block one's aura, it could even block one's consciousness.

Actually, the most important reason was that the Demonic Sect did not dare to openly act in the Western Continent. Otherwise, it would be hard to say.

In addition, he had originally wanted to go back and find his father and Li Yuan, but after hesitating for a long time, he still hadn't returned, mainly because he was worried about meeting those people from the Heaven Demon Sect, and during this period of time, he had been constantly playing hide and seek with those people from the Heaven Demon Sect. He knew very well how powerful those people were, and if he was half careful, he could be caught by them.

After thinking clearly about it, he gave up on that idea. At that time, his father and Li Yuan should have escaped after leading that group of people for more than ten days. Now, he could only wait until he was stronger before going back to look for them.

Cheng Siqi came to the entrance of a grocery store and bowed to an old shopkeeper in his sixties. ”Uncle, can you give us some water to drink?”

The reason he came to this shop was because the signboard outside attracted Cheng Siqi's attention.

”Heaven and Earth will be split in five thousand years. I know all east, south, west, ninety thousand miles!”

”Come in!” The old shopkeeper lifted his glasses and glanced at Cheng Siqi before pouting, ”Pour it yourself. It's on the cabinet!”

Cheng Siqi nodded her head and bowed as she thanked him. She went over to pour a cup of water. After drinking it, she said, ”Shopkeeper, may I ask if the books here are for sale?”

”You can look at it here. One gold coin every two hours is also possible!” The shopkeeper said indifferently.

”Oh, thank you!” Cheng Siqi bowed once more.

After leaving the grocery store, Cheng Siqi thought to himself, ”There's still another place like this. It looks like I'll have to come to this place more often to make up for it!”

Only, he didn't dare stay here for too long. Otherwise, he really wanted to stay here for a period of time and properly make up for it.

Half a year later, outside the city gates of a magnificent city, there was a young man dressed in coarse clothes in sackcloth. Carrying an old basket filled with herbs, there were also two bulging cloth bags on his shoulders. This young man was Cheng Siqi.

Entering the city, Cheng Siqi directly entered a pharmacy. After bargaining with a middle-aged shopkeeper, he sold the herbs to the storekeeper for 40 gold coins. At the same time, he spent 10 gold coins to buy 5 Fasting Pills as a precaution.

After finishing all of this, Cheng Siqi walked over to a shop called the Parade Shop that he had heard from the drugstore owner.

Entering the shop and chatting with the shopkeeper, Cheng Siqi paid 5 gold coins and sat down to read. Maybe it was because of the time period, but no one was there.

Cheng Siqi walked up to a bookshelf with a geographical label and selected three bundles of bamboo slips. After some hesitation, he stopped and sat down at a table and started to read carefully.
