After receiving the arrears, the scar man didn't entangle anymore, "Even if you know each other, I'll let you go this time, next month's protection fee, twenty lark fruits remember to prepare in advance, I will come again." ”

After speaking, the scar man took a deep look at Yan Chuan and turned to leave.

Before the shopkeeper could say words of thanks, Yan Chuan said to him first, "Aren't you owing rent?"

The shopkeeper didn't expect Yan Chuan to be like this, he was stunned for a moment, but he came back to his senses after being reminded by the shopkeeper, and he said: "No, our mustard seed clan is vast and sparsely populated, and we don't have to pay any rent at all, everyone can have a piece of land in the city." ”

Dian Xiaoer added: "In the past, we didn't have to pay any protection fees, but since our new leader took the throne, we have to pay twenty lark fruits every month, which is undoubtedly a burden for a small business like ours. ”

The shopkeeper chimed in: "Yes, if it was before, twenty lark fruits would not be nothing, but now, the new leader is squeezing our lark fruit in a different way, and we have even used up the stock used to brew jade spirit dew. ”

Listening to what the two of them said, Yan Chuan also had a general understanding of the situation in Mustard City.

He almost knew everything he wanted to know about this trip, and after thinking about it, he asked out loud, "Do you know what the new leader of the Mustard Seed Clan does when he collects so many lark fruits?"

The shopkeeper was the first to speak: "I don't know, but in Mustard Seed City, owning a lark fruit is equivalent to having wealth, he should want to enjoy the glory and wealth." ”

The shopkeeper looked at the shopkeeper and said, "That's your idea, right?"

The shopkeeper smiled, his dream was to become the richest man in the mustard seed clan.

"Worthless guy. After teaching the shopkeeper a lesson, the shopkeeper said to Yan Chuan, "We don't know the purpose of Xinku, but he collects a large number of lark fruits every once in a while, as if there is something behind him that needs his offerings. ”

The owner of the store is worthy of opening such a large shop, and it can be said that the analysis is reasonable and well-founded.

His thoughts coincided with Yan Chuan.

Yan Chuan knew that it was very likely that Xinku's back was the black-clothed guest.

If it weren't for the instructions of the black-clothed guest, he would never need to use so many lark fruits alone, and even if he used it as a meal, it would be impossible for him to eat it alone.

The investigation was almost done, Yan Chuan did not delay, and said goodbye: "Thank you two for telling me, I still have something to do, so I will leave first." ”

His words made the shopkeeper confused, shouldn't I thank you? Why did you thank me?

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "It's because we thank you, we owe you the lark fruit, and we will definitely pay you back as soon as possible." ”

Yan Chuan shook his head: "No need, maybe, you won't see me anymore, those lark fruits should be used as cooking money." ”

The shopkeeper wanted to say something, but Yan Chuan didn't give him a chance at all, and went straight away.

After he left, the shopkeeper's eyes were confused and said, "He looks so handsome when he walks in a big way." ”

The shopkeeper said disgustedly: "Okay, go back to work, this little brother is not an ordinary person at first glance." I'll have a chance to thank him later. ”

Yan Chuan naturally didn't hear their conversation, and his next goal was to visit the exit from the mustard seed world.

According to past experience, Yan Chuan went straight to the tallest building area in Mustard City, which should be where Xinku was located.

Yan Chuan doesn't know why, people with power generally like to be in this kind of conspicuous residence.

This is what he learned from Yan Hai before.

When he arrived at the destination, Yan Chuan inquired at random, and sure enough, he confirmed his thoughts.

The tall building in front of him is the residence of Sinku, and it is also the exit from the mustard seed world, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach.

"What should I do? How do I get in?"

It's easy to find Sinku's residence, but it's hard to get in, so you can't just swagger in, right?

"There you go. Yan Chuan suddenly had an idea and thought of a way.

With an idea, he didn't rush in, but didn't rush to rent a temporary residence nearby with the lark fruit.

Without outsiders to disturb him, Yan Chuan fell into cultivation, all he had to do was to use the thread of fate to try the possibilities after different choices.

This was the first time he had actively used the Thread of Fate.

"I hope you won't let me down. ”

With a mutter, Yan Chuan entered the thread of fate.

......

Outside Sinku's residence, Yan Chuan swaggered inside.

Sure enough, the two guards at the gate blocked Yan Chuan's way, they were both from the Mustard Seed Clan.

"What for?"

Yan Chuan's face remained unchanged and said, "I am your leader's friend. ”

"Which leader?" said one of the guards.

"It's Sinku, I'm his friend. ”

"Well, then you wait a minute, I'll go in and make a report. ”

"No, I'm familiar with Sinku, I'll just go find him myself. ”

"Well, then you can go in. ”

The guards let him go, and Yan Chuan walked in without hindrance.

So easy to get in?

When he got inside, Yan Chuan felt a little unreal. He never thought that those guards were so easy to deceive.

But think about it, no one should be like him, in such a blatant way.

After walking around for a while, there was nothing dangerous except for some patrols.

Every time he met those patrolling, Yan Chuan used the same excuse to fool around.

Walking to a place similar to the main hall, Yan Chuan was just about to walk in when he met a "foreigner" like him and walked out.

He saw that Yan Chuan's face was very raw, and asked, "Who are you?"

Yan Chuan fooled himself with the words he had just tried and tested, "I'm a friend of Xinku. ”

"I'm Sinku. ”

"Forehead......" Yan Chuan never thought that he would meet Xinku himself.

He hurriedly defended: "You are Xinku, I was wrong just now, I came to find you, I want to be friends with you." ”

Even Yan Chuan himself didn't believe this excuse, this may be the most embarrassing time in his life.

Xinku was not a fool either, he said, "Judging by the way you look, you must have just entered the mustard seed world, right? ”

As he spoke, he observed Yan Chuan's reaction, wanting to see something from it.

Seeing that the matter was revealed, Yan Chuan immediately withdrew from the thread of fate.

"Whew, what an embarrassment just now. Woke up in his temporary rented place, Yan Chuan touched the cold sweat on his head and said.

Summing up the experience of failure just now, Yan Chuan didn't want to give up like this, he took a few deep breaths and entered the lifeline again.

Outside the Sinku residence.

Yan Chuan also encountered the two guards guarding the door.

"Who's coming?"

"Hello, I'm a friend of Sinku, I haven't seen him for a long time, I miss him very much, and I'm here to pay a visit. ”

"Wait a minute, I'll go and report it. ”

"It's different, I'm very familiar with your leader, just go in by yourself. ”

The same scene, similar conversations going on.

To Yan Chuan's surprise, the guards at the door actually refused Yan Chuan's request.

"No, we need to let someone know, so just wait here. ”

It was still the guard Yan Chuan met when he came last time he spoke, but his answer surprised Yan Chuan.

No matter how you look at them, they are all the same person, but why is there such a big difference between before and after.

It seems that in the thread of fate, not only are your own choices different, but others may also make different choices.

Yan Chuan hurriedly said: "You weren't like this last time I came. ”

Hearing Yan Chuan's answer, the guard asked, "You've been here before, why haven't I seen you?"

Seeing that there was room for detours, Yan Chuan said without changing his face: "You see so many people every day, how can you remember them all, the last time I came over, I greeted you warmly, I didn't expect you to forget so quickly, it's really sad." ”

After speaking, Yan Chuan pretended to show a look of grievance.

Seeing this, the guard smiled awkwardly and said, "In that case, then you can go in." ”

"Thank you. ”

With his three-inch incorruptible tongue, Yan Chuan finally went in.

I thought it should be no problem this time, but I didn't expect that Yan Chuan had just walked in and not long after he met Xinku.

Of course, the current Yan Chuan already knew his identity.

Yan Chuan had already thought of his words, he clenched his fist forward, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Xinku.

As soon as Sinku saw him, he cried out, "Someone, a pet has escaped, get him back quickly." ”

"What's the situation? You weren't like that before. ”

In desperation, Yan Chuan could only return to the line of fate.

"I don't believe it. ”

Yan Chuan seemed to be angry with himself, and once again came to the guard at the door.

As soon as he got closer, Yan Chuan said to the guard at the door with a very familiar expression: "Brother, you two are still here today, hurry up and let me in, I have something urgent to find Xinku." ”

The two guards looked at each other, and the one from before said, "Who are you? Do you know us?"

"Of course, I greeted you last time. Seeing that the guards were still at a loss, Yan Chuan said: "I'm an old friend of Xinku, I've been here many times, no wonder, you see so many people every day, it's normal not to remember me."

Alright, don't talk nonsense with you, I still have something to do with Xinku, let me in. ”

"Wait a minute. ”

The guard looked at Yan Chuan from beginning to end, and always felt that something was wrong, he said: "No, no matter who comes, we need to report it, you just wait here." ”

"Why do you say this sentence exactly the same as before? Yan Chuan was speechless for a while.

Ignoring Yan Chuan, the two guards went inside together to report.

"Uh~"

As soon as the two of them left, there was no guard at the door.

Yan Chuan waited for a while, and suddenly felt that he was so stupid. There's no one at the door, what am I waiting for here?

Yan Chuan felt a burst of amusement, the IQ of these two guards was really admirable.

"You're all gone, can't I just swagger in? ”
