The rustle of dead leaves was interrupted, and the leader of the Wang Shi stopped, he straightened his black clothes, and raised his head unhurriedly to look at the old man, "What's the matter?"

"We still hope that Master Wang can escort the members of our Chu Clan's auction. The gray-haired old man said tremblingly.

"It's still the same, one thousand spirit crystals is one head, there are ten of you in total, now hand over ten thousand spirit crystals, we will take you back immediately to ensure that you return to the capital safely." The leader Wang Shi took a sip, spit out the straw he was chewing in his mouth, and then said with a facial expression, the reactions of the members of the Chu Clan's auction were all in his expectation.

"Can you have less spirit crystals...... the white-haired old man leaned over and his hands kept shaking, "We are all just members of the Chu family's auction periphery, and we are not very rich ourselves, you want us ten thousand spirit crystals this time, we came to the Youyun Mountain Range this time, and we have all lost everything, so let's leave some spirit crystals for us to live, right?"

"Old man, don't be so pitiful. The leader of the king really didn't have the patience to go around with them, he tilted his head and glanced at the old man, "You want to live, we have to live too." ”

"Yes...... But I'm telling the truth. The white-haired old man took out all the spirit crystals on his body from the storage talisman, and stacked them densely in a pile, "These are our spirit crystals, and all the spirit crystals add up to only more than nine thousand spirit crystals." ”

"Look, it's better to have nine thousand spirit crystals, and if you have some spirit crystals, let's give us food and shelter. The gray-haired old man lowered his voice, almost pleading.

Apparently he was telling the truth.

"Old man, don't blame me for being ruthless, it's really that we are poor. When the leader heard the old man's words of pleading, he was not moved in the slightest, and he had already replied ruthlessly.

"But, but we only have that few spirit crystals. The old man looked at Master Wang with a sad face, "You have been wronged, and I will definitely compensate you in the future." ”

"In the future?" Wang Shi, who was the leader, sneered, "No need for the future, you can make up for it now." ”

As he spoke, he came to the old man, stretched out his hand and snatched his storage talisman, "This thing is not bad, so it should be compensated." ”

"But this is the only thing my dead son left me, you can't take it!" The white-haired old man's body trembled, and he reached out to take it back from the king's hand.

But he was old after all, and Master Wang was a monk at the first level of the Inscription Realm, how could he take it back.

"Get out of here!" Wang Shi frowned and pushed the old man away.

The strong strength pushed the white-haired old man to the ground, the old man himself was old, and now he was so handed, he fell directly to the ground, moaning nonstop, his face flushed, his breathing became short, and he was very uncomfortable.

The young man behind him immediately helped the old man up, hurriedly helped the old man comb his breathing, and then looked at the other party with an angry face, "You actually treat an old man like this, are you still human?!"

"Pack up the spirit crystal, let's hurry back!" "The leader Wang Shi instructed the brothers behind him to pack up their things, and he didn't pay attention to him at all, he only had the spirit crystal in his eyes, what kind of bullshit old man, if he could bring himself a spirit crystal, he would be useful, if he couldn't bring himself a spirit crystal, he would be no different from a dead thing.

What does it have to do with you when you die?

After packing up the spirit crystal, the Wang Shi led by looked at the old man who was panting, "Hurry up and go, don't let us delay for too long!"

"Let's go...... Let's go. The gray-haired old man glanced at the storage talisman, and finally let out a long sigh and gave up.

They were about to get up and leave, but Ye Ran immediately rushed out of the jungle.

"What man!?"

The four men led by Wang Shi immediately made an attack posture, staring at Ye Ran who came out vigilantly, and when they saw Ye Ran's immature face, the vigilance in their hearts immediately relaxed a lot, what threat can a young boy bring to them?

Ye Ran ignored this group of ruthless guys, he went straight to the old man's side, first bowed slightly to him to show respect, and then said in a respectful tone, "Old man, I am a monk who strayed into the Youyun Mountain Range, and now I have lost my way in this Youyun Mountain Range, I wonder if the old man can tell me where this place is in the Youyun Mountain Range, how can I reach Haoyang City?"

The white-haired old man saw that Ye Ran was upright, his eyebrows were clear, and his first impression of him was good, not to mention that this little favor was not a problem at all, he was naturally willing to help Ye Ran, "This is naturally no problem, this place is in the north of the middle of the Youyun Mountain Range, a place called Luoshan Slope." ”

"However, little brother, this Youyun Mountain Range is full of dangers, if you are alone, I am afraid that it will be very dangerous along the way, if you are willing, you might as well go back with us." ”

Ye Ran was slightly stunned, he didn't expect this old man to be so kind-hearted, he was just asking for directions, and the other party was willing to bring him back to Haoyang City.

The kindness of the old man was in stark contrast to the indifference and ruthlessness of the royal master.

Someone led the way, Ye Ran naturally couldn't ask for it, he made a big salute to the old man again, and said respectfully, "Then I, thank the old man!"

"It's just that I have three friends, so I don't know if it will bother you. ”

"Of course, it's fine. The old man shook his head kindly, indicating that there was no problem.

"Alright, I'll call my friend over. When Ye Ran heard this, he was overjoyed, turned around and was about to leave, and called Tang Xuan and a few people over.

"Wait!" At this time, the Wang Shi led by the leader suddenly intercepted Ye Ran.

"What's the matter?" Ye Ran frowned, with a look of disgust, what he had done before was deeply imprinted in his mind, if he wasn't afraid that he would hurt the old man, he would have taught him a lesson.

"One thousand spirit crystals per person! There are a few of you, just hand over as many spirit crystals as you want!" The thin figure of the Wang Shi led by him was much thinner than Ye Ran.

He looked at Ye Ran and said expressionlessly.

Ye Ran lowered his head slightly, and said slowly, "I don't need your protection, I'm just going back to Haoyang City with me, if you encounter any danger on the way, you don't need to help me." ”
