C112 (1/2)

Zhu Ziyang abruptly turned his head around and was shocked to find that at an alley not far from the courtyard, an old man with shabby clothes and a stooped figure was looking in their direction in surprise.

”It really is Miss Zhu!”

The old man immediately recognized her when he saw her turn her head.

Zhu Zifu was slightly taken aback. ”This old sir, you are …?”

”Miss Zhu, my name is Gui Dehan and I'm an adventurer.” The old man quickly walked over and bowed towards the bamboo with a flattering smile on his face.

”How do you know me?” Zhu Zifu quickly regained his composure and asked.

”Miss Zhu is extremely famous in Ci City. Even a three year old child knows her. How could I not know her?!” The old man called Gui Dehan said with an apologetic smile.

Bamboo Fork nodded her head noncommittally and didn't say anything else.

As the eldest daughter of the Wen family, many people in Ci City knew her.

In fact, it wasn't just her. Whether it was the people of the Wen family or the Chu family, they were famous in Ci City. If ordinary citizens and adventurers didn't know these two families, they might offend someone and even die without knowing how.

Zhu Ziquan was not in the mood to deal with this old man, so he did not speak any further. He only turned his head to look at the house before him as he sighed in his heart.

Lin Cheng didn't say anything, but his gaze landed on the old man as he frowned slightly.

Lin City released his perception without leaving a trace. From the old man's expression and eyes, as well as the old man's heartbeat and breathing, it was clear that he was not lying.

Therefore, he could basically conclude that this old man was a poor adventurer.

However, Lin Cheng was still on his guard. With the Wen Family's influence in Ci City, for a destitute adventurer like them to take the initiative and talk to him, it was not logical.

Sensing the coldness in Lin City's eyes, Gui Dehan couldn't help but shrink back his neck. He let out a dry laugh and said carefully, ”Miss Zhu, do you have any other instructions?”

”Instruction?”

Zhu Zi regained her senses and frowned slightly. Seeing the flattering smile on Gui Dehan's face, she couldn't help but ask, ”Excuse me, do you want to do something?”

”I... ”It's not a big deal.”

Gui Dehan hesitated for a moment and laughed dryly as he looked at Bamboo Shoot's face, ”That's right …” If it's convenient for Miss Zhu, can you buy my house? ”

When Bamboo Fork heard this, she couldn't help but be slightly startled. She looked at Gui Dehan in astonishment.

Perhaps he realized that his suggestion was rude, Gudeson quickly explained, ”Miss Zhu, please don't misunderstand. Although my house is a little shabby, it is still my ancestral property. If I didn't need a sum of money, I wouldn't have sold it …”

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

This old geezer, Gui Dehan, was indeed acting rather strangely. Not only did he take the initiative to come up and talk to them, he even wanted to sell his ancestral home to Zhu Ziquan.

”Alright!”

Bamboo Hill didn't want to get entangled with him, so she shook her head and said, ”I understand what you mean, but I have no intention of buying the house, so I can only …”

However, before she could finish speaking, Gui Dehan suddenly became anxious. He hurriedly cupped his fists and bowed, ”Miss Zhu, you must be magnanimous. Just treat it as giving charity to this old man, giving this old man a way to survive …”

Zhu Ziyang frowned, ”I don't understand your words at all. There is no relationship between you and me. You begged me to give you a way out, but you found the wrong person, right?”

”No, no, no. Miss Zhu, please don't misunderstand, I just …” ”I am really desperate, otherwise I would definitely not have come back …”

Gui Dehan shook his head, his face turning red from being too anxious. In a moment of desperation, he said, ”Miss Zhu, we can be considered to be familiar with each other. Back then, I was on an expedition with your father, but on account of me following Brother Zhu …”

”What did you say?!”

Before Gui Dehan could finish speaking, Zhu Ziquan's expression suddenly changed. His gaze turned sharp as he stared at Gui Dehan, ”You just said that you once accompanied my father on an adventure?”

When she looked into his eyes, the powerful aura of the 9th level of Arterial Circulation was instantly released. The immense pressure instantly pressed down on him.

”Ah …”
