The City of Flames is particularly lively today, with people coming and going at the gates of the city. An old man walked slowly into the city.

This is an extremely ordinary old man, and his appearance is not amazing. Walking down the street, no one will pay attention to him.

He was only seven feet tall, his face was still a little pale, and his thin face was covered with spots, which were age spots. He was dressed modestly, with a few patches on his coarse cloth coat.

He carried a cane in his hand, and with every step he took, the crutches hit the ground.

He walks so slowly that people wonder, "Will he fall to the ground at any moment?"

When the old man came to the city, he found a corner of the wall facing the sun and sat down. He took out a steamed bun from the cloth bag on his body and began to eat it.

After eating the steamed bun, he took out a gourd and drank it in a big gulp. No one knows whether his gourd contains water or wine.

"Flame City has really changed a lot, and it hasn't changed so quickly after thirty years. The old man muttered to himself.

The corner of the wall where the old man leaned was the Yan family's mansion, although it was still more than thirty meters away from the gate of the mansion, the Yan family's family still saw him.

"Where did you come from, bad old man, get over here, don't lean here, stay in another place. The family hurriedly came over and drove him away.

"I can't walk anymore, so I want to rest here for a while, and I'll leave after a while. The old man quickly explained.

"Look at your dirty face, sitting here affects the image of our mansion, let's get out of here. The family did not give up and continued to chase him.

"Oh, I'll go now. The old man stood up tremblingly, and then walked away slowly.

When passing by the gate of the Yan family's mansion, he glanced up: "Yan Mansion, it's so magnificent." Then he shook his head and walked on.

A few hours later, he came to a mansion again, and he glanced up: "Xu Mansion." He muttered.

He stood at the door and stared at the gate, and the family of the Xu Mansion also saw him.

"Old man, are you looking for someone?" asked the housekeeper politely.

"I'm not looking for anyone, I'm tired, hungry and thirsty, do you have any leftovers in your house?

"Old man, you sit at the door and rest for a while, and I'll go to the kitchen and get you some. The family moved a bench and sat the old man at the door.

"There are still a lot of good people!" the old man sat down, babbling in his mouth.

After a while, the housekeeper walked out, holding a bowl of steaming rice in his left hand and a plate in his right hand, which contained some side dishes: "Old man, we won't have long after eating, you can eat these meals first, not enough to go back and arrange to make some." ”

"Thank you, that's pretty much enough. When the old man took it, he sat down at the door and began to eat.

Xu Baichuan had a meal at the Zhao family's mansion at noon, and he just returned to the gate of the mansion at this time. Seeing an old man eating at the gate of the house, he was very different.

"What's going on?" he asked

"Back to the old man, the old man came here and said that he couldn't walk, he was thirsty and tired, so I went to the kitchen to get him some food. ”

"How can you let him sit at the door to eat? I don't know if this will affect our image?" Xu Baichuan's face became ugly.

"I'm sorry, sir, I won't dare next time. The family trembled with fright. The Xu family is well treated, and he doesn't want to lose this job.

"Old man, the next person is ignorant and slow to treat you. It's a little cold outside, you go to the house to eat, and I'll ask them to make you some more. Xu Baichuan bent down and said with a pleasant face.

Hearing this, Ding Ding breathed a sigh of relief, he thought that Xu Baichuan's reprimand just now was because he let the old man sit at the door to eat, which damaged the image of the Xu Mansion, and it turned out that he thought he was not taking good care of the old man.

"It's good that I can have a full meal, how dare I dare to go to your mansion to eat. Don't dare, don't dare. The old man said repeatedly.

"Old man, it's okay, just go to the house to eat, I'll take you in. Xu Baichuan couldn't help but say, picked up the old man and walked to the house.

"Tell the kitchen to get a few tasty dishes, be quick. Xu Baichuan quickly ordered.

After a while, six dishes were served.

"Old man, do you drink?"

"I drink, but I can't afford it. ”

"It's okay, I'll invite you to drink, come up with a jug of wine. ”

Soon the family put a pot of wine on the table, and Xu Baichuan picked up the jug and poured a glass for the old man.

The old man took a sip of the wine glass, and kept reading: "Not bad, not bad, good wine, good wine." Why don't you have a drink with me?" After finishing speaking, he looked at Xu Baichuan.

"Okay, I'll have a drink with your old man. ”

Soon the two pots of wine were drunk, and the old man still wanted to drink again.

Xu Baichuan didn't expect the old man to be able to drink so much, he was afraid that the old man would drink too much, he was a little hesitant, should he serve another pot of wine?

"Is there any wine left?" asked the old man.

"Old man, you can drink as much as you want, I'm afraid you will feel uncomfortable if you drink too much. If you can still drink it, I'll serve it to you. Xu Baichuan said with a smile.

"It's okay, I'll be fine with two more pots. ”

Seeing that the old man was not drunk at all, Xu Baichuan asked two more pots of wine.

"Old man, where do you live?" Xu Baichuan talked to him while drinking with him.

"I don't have a home, I wander all year round, and wherever I go, it's home. The old man took a sip of wine and said comfortably.

Hearing the old man say this, Xu Baichuan felt a little uncomfortable. An old man in his twilight years has no fixed place to live, and no one takes care of him.

The old man had no intention of leaving after he had eaten and drunk, he sat on his chair and closed his eyes and enjoyed.

"Old man, do you have a place to stay at night?"

"No, I had to find a corner to keep the wind out at night. It's getting late, I have to go. Thank you for the food and drink, good people will be rewarded. The old man stood up tremblingly and was about to walk out.

"Old man, you see it's freezing and cold outside, why don't you just live in my house, how about this?" Xu Baichuan hurriedly said.

"Do you think this can be good?" the old man asked with a smile on his face as he looked at Xu Baichuan.

"My big mansion still lacks a place for your old man to live? ”

"Then I thank you. The old man said with a smile.

"Hurry up and make the bed for the elderly, the quilt must be thick, and the bed must be warm. Get a few clothes for the old man to change in, and let him take a hot bath at night. Xu Baichuan quickly ordered.

The family took the old man down and arranged for him to live in a small courtyard. Everything was done according to Xu Baichuan's arrangement, without any discount.

They boiled hot water, and the old man soaked in the bathtub very comfortably, and even hummed a little song. After taking a shower, I lay down and slept comfortably under the covers.

Xu Baichuan was busy and didn't have much time to spend with the old man. But he has already arranged that he will serve three meals a day, and the old man will never be slow to treat him.

Every night when he returned home, he would go to chat with the old man and ask for warmth. A few days later, the old man and the people of the Xu Mansion gradually got acquainted, but they never had the intention of leaving.

Xu Baichuan didn't mean to drive him away, the Xu family has a large population, there are enough houses, and there is not much food and accommodation for this old man.

The Xu family's mansion was not guarded by a strong person in the Refining God Realm, except for Xu Baichuan, there was not a single strong person in the Refining God Realm.

But there are a few masters of refining the earth realm, but they are not the kind of very strong masters, they are basically the third and fourth orders of the earth refining realm.

Xu Baichuan and the Zhao family wore one-legged pants, and the distance between the two mansions was not too far. To be an enemy of the Xu family is to be an enemy of the Zhao family, who would dare to offend the Xu family easily?

Like these people from Yinshanmen, they don't take Xu Baichuan in their eyes at all, and it is easy to eliminate a Xu family, but it makes no sense to eliminate the Xu family.

So the Xu family has always been safe, and no one has come to look for trouble.

But tonight was an exception, late at night, a few people quietly came to Xu's house.

Although their strength is not very strong, they are also strong in the God Refining Realm, and there are four people at once, and they always feel that they are weird, just like normal martial artists, with a ruthless face.

When they came to Xu's house, Xu Baichuan had already noticed their arrival.

He walked out of the room and stood in the middle of the courtyard: "Where are the rats, why did you sneak up on my Xu Mansion late at night? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, four people jumped down from the roof: "Shopkeeper Xu is very powerful, our brother's late night visit disturbed me." ”

The man at the head gave Xu Baichuan a fist lightly, and he didn't mean to apologize or respect.

"Who is Your Excellency, can you please report your name?"

"I don't know who we are to tell you, our brothers come to the shopkeeper Xu to ask for something, as long as the shopkeeper Xu can promise us, we will turn around and leave after getting the things. ”

"Oh. I don't know what a few people want?"

"We all know the relationship between you and the Zhao family, the Ming people don't say secret words, we want the elixir refined by the fairy fruit. We only need four, one for each person. This shouldn't be a difficult task for Shopkeeper Xu, right?"

"Hehe, you actually believe in hearsay? The Zhao family doesn't have the elixir refined by the Immortal Fruit, even if I have it, why should I give it to you?"

"Shopkeeper Xu, it seems that you don't want to give our brother face?"

"Just because the four of you refining the third order of the God Realm also want to threaten me, are you tired of being alive?" Xu Baichuan was no longer willing to perfunctory with them.

The four third-order masters of the God Refining Realm may not be able to win against him themselves, but they will not lose in the short term. As long as there is a move here, the Zhao family can arrive in minutes. So he wasn't afraid of them at all, and he wouldn't show weakness to this garbage.

"Do you think that if you are a fifth-order refining god realm, you will definitely be able to eat us? Do you think that the master of the Zhao family can rush to save you? You are too naïve, you may not know who our brother is. Hahahaha. The leader laughed maniacally.

"Yes, then I want to see how you kill me?" Xu Baichuan was about to release his breath and prepare to make a move.

Suddenly, he was stunned, he couldn't condense his qi, and the strength in his body was lost.

"Move, why don't you move? Hahahaha. ”

"Who the hell are you?" Xu Baichuan's face changed, and it became very ugly.

"We have no grievances and no hatred, I just need the pill, give it to us and leave now, our brothers are the talkers. The leader continued.

"Haven't you told me who you really are?" Xu Baichuan found that he immediately didn't even have the strength to speak.

"We are the people of the Five Poison Sect, you have been hit by my cartilage, don't try to struggle. That's futile work, so let's obediently hand over the elixir. ”

They had already alarmed the Xu Mansion's Guardian Courtyard, and six young people from the Refining Realm came up from all around.

Their expressions were solemn, and they heard the conversation between Xu Baichuan and those people clearly. They knew that they were definitely not the opponents of the Five Poison Sect people with just a few of them, but it was their responsibility and obligation to protect Xu Baichuan.

No one would run away, they surrounded Xu Baichuan in the middle and protected him.

"I don't want to kill you, get out of here. ”

However, his words did not deter these people, and everyone was preoccupied with guarding them.

Although he may not be able to protect Xu Baichuan with a few people, everyone has the determination to die, because they have become one with the Xu family.
