NOVEL NEXT Chapter 92 Dilemma
"You... who are you? Do any of us have any offense against you? Do you know that we are the elders of Yanxia Cave Sky..."
Not far ahead, the old man who was the first to fight Zhang Jingming was breathing heavily. Knowing that there was no hope of escape, he tried his best to speak.
The monk's body was exceptionally strong. The old man had stopped the bleeding on his own and barely stabilized his injuries, but his face was still extremely pale and he looked very weak.
If an ordinary person had his chest pierced by a sword and then fell from a high altitude, he would probably have died by now.
People had to bow their heads under the eaves. The old man was no longer as strong as he was at the beginning. When he spoke, his tone was low and low. He showed a rare softness in his life. At the same time, he did not forget to move out of his backstage.
But it was a pity that Zhang Jingming didn't even look at him. In a flash of light, he disappeared on the spot.
At the same time, a shadow clone of Zhang Jingming walked out of the mirror world and began to clean up the mess, clean up the battlefield, and provide one-stop funeral services for these people in Yanxia Cave Sky, erasing all remaining traces that might reveal his identity.
……
It was nearly noon, and the sun was high.
Qingfeng Town.
The inner courtyard of the Li family is decorated with green tiles, flying rafts and carved beams and painted buildings.
In an elegant and unique hall, a large round table is filled with plates of rare delicacies and various kinds of fragrant wines, with attractive colors and dense aromas.
All the servants have retreated, leaving only the head of the Li family standing aside, waiting quietly.
Not long after, Zhang Jingming's tall and straight figure quietly emerged in the hall.
"Master, this is the lunch I have prepared for you."
The head of the Li family quickly bowed respectfully.
"Well, you did a good job, please step back."
Looking at the table full of delicacies in front of him, Zhang Jingming couldn't help but move his index finger, nodded slightly, and praised the other party softly.
After receiving the affirmation, the head of the Li family retired with satisfaction.
Zhang Jingming immediately sat down and ate without ceremony, feeling very comfortable all over.
After eating and drinking enough, he took the cultivation resources collected by the Li family and left directly, returning to the Mirror World, where he once again entered cultivation with several shadow clones.
Although most of these resources are mainly ordinary medicinal herbs, they include a piece of "source", which can be regarded as a small gain.
This "source" was discovered by a herb collector in Qingfeng Town in an ancient cave in the mountains, and was acquired by the Li family.
According to records in ancient books, usually, in a place where a "source" can be found, several pieces of "source" can be mined, or even more.
If that ancient cave is a "source place", if you find it, you may find other discoveries, and the harvest will not be too small.
It is precisely because of this that the three monks from the Li family practicing in Yanxia Cave and their masters were lured out one after another.
However, Zhang Jingming, who is familiar with the original work, knows that the ancient cave was left by an ancient monk. Apart from this "source", there is nothing worth paying attention to.
……
After Ye Fan left the original ruins, he hurried on the road covered with stars and moonlight, sleeping in the open air and sneaking carefully along the way.
He had been walking in the wilderness, almost never entering a town, and after walking two thousand miles away, he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and a tight string gradually relaxed.
It was already approaching evening, the sun was setting in the west, and the sky and the earth were beginning to turn dim.
Seeing a town in the distance ahead, Ye Fan felt that he had been running for three consecutive days and was far enough away from the land of right and wrong behind him. This area should be safe and there was no need to continue escaping.
The town was not that big, just a small town. He strode forward and entered the city.
"Fu Lai Inn... such a familiar name..."
After walking around the town and reaching a crossroads near the center of the town, Ye Fan was attracted by the name of an inn.
After traveling for many days, he just needed a place to rest and rest, so he walked towards this inn.
"Hey! Sir, please go to..."
Seeing someone coming, a waiter who looked to be about twenty years old immediately came up to him with quick hands and feet.
"Uh, kid, why are you alone? Where are your adults?"
However, when he saw clearly that the person who came was just a child who looked less than eleven years old, he was stunned and looked behind the child.
"I'm the only one here. If there's anything to eat, hurry up and get some."
Ye Fan was a little helpless. After a year, although his body bones had grown wider and he was taller than his peers, his height was still in the category of a child. With his immature face, outsiders would still subconsciously regard him as Treat it like a child.
After all, how could ordinary people imagine that he was an adult in his twenties who had rejuvenated and become like this?
"Kid, do you have money?"
The waiter looked at the old-fashioned and mature child in front of him with amusement, and began to tease him.
If it weren't for the fact that Ye Fan didn't look like he was a child from a poor family, the waiter would have driven him away.
"Uh……"
Ye Fan took it out into his arms, but his expression froze and he felt a little embarrassed.
He forgot that he had no coins or gold or silver utensils with him at all, so he was unable to pay the bill.
"It's better to ask your adults to come and don't stop our store from doing business."
As a waiter in a shop, he was used to seeing people from all walks of life, so he still had good eyesight. He could see Ye Fan's embarrassment at a glance, but he didn't say anything bad.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Just when the embarrassed Ye Fan wanted to turn around and leave, Jiang Haisheng, the shopkeeper, noticed the movement at the door, walked out from behind the counter and came to the door.
"Shopkeeper, I don't know where this kid came from. He has no money..."
The waiter told Jiang Haisheng what happened in a low voice.
However, what the waiter didn't know was that Ye Fan listened to these words word for word with the monk's powerful ear.
Ye Fan's face twitched, and he couldn't help but feel even more embarrassed. How could he be said to be like a wandering beggar who wanted to eat for free?
"Brother, is it not convenient for you now?"
Jiang Haisheng asked with a kind smile.
The old man was experienced in the world and could see that Ye Fan didn't look like a freeloader and was probably just in a temporary predicament.
"Um...old man, I really don't have any money with me."
Ye Fan was a little helpless and embarrassed. Over the past year, he had been staying in Lingxu Cave to practice with great concentration, and had never gone out at all. At this time, he was really penniless.
"Haha, it doesn't matter... everyone will have difficulties. It will get dark soon. Come in, little brother, and stay in the shop for one night."
The old man Jiang Haisheng was kind-hearted. Looking at Ye Fan, he couldn't help but think of the days when he and his granddaughter Jiang Tingting depended on each other before meeting Master Ye, and he felt compassion in his heart.
