Chapter Forty-Eight: The Two Great Families

On the windowsill, looking at the expressions of the two people in the room talking and laughing freely, Chen Fan only felt a burst of nausea, and the internal organs in his abdomen were churning violently.

Retracting his gaze, Chen Fan lightly touched Xia Yue Wuyan's shoulder, and raised his head towards the kitchen, the latter understood what he meant, and kicked open the kitchen door almost at the same time as Chen Fan, and rushed in.

Rushing into the kitchen, Chen Fan first quickly looked around to make sure that there were no other enemies, and finally, he turned his gaze on the middle-aged woman and the young man named Ah Li, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Your Excellency, it doesn't seem like we're here at the right time, right?"

Hearing his words, the proprietress and the young man named Ah Li were both shocked, the former turned around and happened to take a look with Chen Fan and Yue Wuya, and when they saw the appearance of the two of them clearly, the proprietress looked shocked and blurted out: "Is it you?" When she spoke, the proprietress showed a shocked look on her face, she would never have thought that they would find here, didn't she already send Ah Fei to capture them, could it be ......

The proprietress couldn't help but shudder, and at the same time, there was a viciousness in her eyes. Now, since his deeds have been discovered by these people, then no matter what, they can no longer be allowed to get out alive, thinking of this, the proprietress said loudly to the cook named Ali: "Ali, kill them!"

"Yes!" the young man named Ah Li roared angrily, raised the butcher knife in his hand, and flew towards Chen Fan and Yue Wuya.

For this kind of non-threatening character, Chen Fan was simply too lazy to do anything, and when Ali raised his knife to slash Chen Fan approached, Yue Wuya on the side casually pulled out the short sword on his body, and his palm went up horizontally, and he took the other party's heavy blow.

"When Changchang—"

The piercing sound of iron colliding made the young man named Ah Li feel pain in his eardrums and his chest tightened. The latter thought that he could cut the opponent apart with a single sword, but in fact, the other party was not only unscathed, but he was shocked and took several steps back.

The young man named Ah Li was taken aback, and soon, he reacted, holding the knife in both hands, jumped high, and immediately slashed at the head of Yue Wuya.

Yue Wuya didn't pay attention to the other party's attack at all, he sneered, and the hand holding the short sword quickly turned around, stabbing straight at the chest of the young man named Ali.

It's slow, but it's actually extremely fast, and the change in the fighting situation between the two sides is only a matter of moments.

"Flutter!"

There was a muffled sound, and the butcher knife in the hand of the young man named Ah Li came out of his hand, and then, he only felt a chill coming from his chest, and all his strength seemed to be gradually withdrawn from his body.

The middle-aged woman not far away looked at the young man named Ah Li, her eyes gradually covered with a layer of dead ashes, screamed, and then pounced on Yue Wuya with sharp teeth and claws, the latter did not hesitate at all, and made another knife casually, and the middle-aged woman also followed in the footsteps of the young man named Ah Li.

Looking at the two people who were still twitching on the ground, Chen Fan sighed faintly: Harm others will harm yourself!

"Wuya, find a place to bury them, and then set fire to this inn!" Chen Fan gave a simple order, and then strode out of here.

After returning to Luo Qingyun's side, Chen Fan didn't say anything, just simply said that the trouble had been solved, and after that, after a few people cleaned up, they went on the road overnight.

On the way, in order not to be traced down by the Bai family's people, they couldn't go to the town to buy horses and hire carriages, so they could only leave on foot. After walking like this for two days, Chen Fan and his party finally arrived at the destination of their trip, Sifang City.

Sifang City is a relatively large city within a radius of 100 miles, with a population of about 300,000. Chen Fan and the three of them walked on the street, several people were looking left and right, trying to find a suitable inn, but unfortunately it didn't look suitable, either the place was too small, or it was too chaotic and too poor, and they couldn't find a suitable one after looking for a long time.

Walking and walking, suddenly, everyone felt a light in front of them, and a small square appeared in front of everyone.

The square is a rectangular platform about 100 zhang long and 80 zhang wide, and the ground is paved with flat square bluestone, which is usually for the residents of the city to have fun here, and during festivals, some large-scale activities will be held here.

At this time, there are many people playing there with children in the square, and some vendors selling snacks are also shouting loudly, and every time a business is made, the vendors have a happy smile on their faces, and among them, the most eye-catching is the two wooden tables placed in the middle of the square.

Next to the two wooden tables, a long strip of cloth was erected, on which were also written the four big characters "Recruiting Warriors", and in addition, there were several people responsible for recruiting behind each table.

Behind the wooden table on the left, several people in charge of recruitment were all wearing a light blue robe, and the word "Wang" was embroidered on the chest on the left. Among them, two people were responsible for recording, and the remaining people were responsible for explaining to others the conditions and treatment of recruitment, and at this time, two long lines had formed in front of the wooden table.

There are only a dozen people scattered in front of the wooden table on the right, a total of five people are responsible for recruitment, the same two people are recorded, and the remaining three are responsible for commentary, and they are also wearing uniform robes, and there is a big "Zhao" word embroidered on the left chest.

Chen Fan grabbed a cloth-clothed young man next to him and asked casually, "Little brother, what are the people in line up doing over there?"

The cloth-clothed young man was startled, turned his head to look, but found that the person who grabbed him was a handsome young man in his twenties, and couldn't help but say coldly: "Why should I tell you? Let go!"

Chen Fan let go of the cloth-clothed youth, his palm spread out in front of the cloth-clothed youth's eyes, and more than a dozen silver coins lay quietly on the palm.

"Now let's talk. ”

"Hehe, it's easy to say. Seeing this, the young man in cloth immediately had a smile on his face, and hurriedly picked up the dozen or so silver coins on Chen Fan's palm, as if he was afraid that Chen Fan would regret it if he was too late.

The cloth-clothed young man got the money and immediately introduced it with a smile on his face: "This is the annual martial artist recruitment conference, those on the left wearing light blue robes are from the Wang family, and those on the right wearing white robes are from the Zhao family, both of which are local famous families. Every year, the two major families will send people to recruit martial artists here, and the treatment is very good, so every time at this time, we will come here to participate in the selection, if they take a fancy to it, then we will have a chance to get ahead in the future. As he spoke, the cloth-clothed young man looked at the people in line with envy.

"Then why are there so many people on the Wang family's side and so few people on the Zhao family?"

"It's not because of the low treatment of the Zhao family!" The cloth-clothed young man looked at Chen Fan with disdain, and said: "The conditions offered by the Wang family are twice as many as those offered by the Zhao family, you say, who else will go to the Zhao family?"

Chen Fan thought for a moment and continued to ask, "What are the conditions for the two families to recruit martial artists?"

"The recruitment conditions set by the two families are the same, those under the age of eighteen must cultivate above the acquired realm, those over eighteen years old, those under twenty-eight years old must cultivate above the innate realm, and those over twenty-eight years old must cultivate above the earthly evil realm. ”

Chen Fan asked puzzledly: "Distinguish by age, aren't they afraid of false reports?"

The cloth-clothed young man smiled slyly and said, "Hehe, you don't know this, right?" Of course, you can't see it now, but after the candidates are recruited, there will be special warriors to check their real age, and once they find out that they are false, then they will be miserable......"

At this time, Yue Wuya on the side approached Chen Fan and said in a low voice: "Yes, Brother Chen, some martial artists practice a special skill that can distinguish the age of others, and it is very difficult for the other party to hide it. ”

"I understand!" Chen Fan was skeptical of the words in the words of the cloth-clothed youth, but Yue Wuya's words were very credible, Chen Fan nodded, and said to the cloth-clothed youth: "What is the relationship between the two families? Why recruit at the same time?"

"What a fart!" The cloth-clothed young man glanced at Chen Fan and said: "It's good that these two families don't fight, the two families were rivals a long time ago, and now they choose to recruit at the same time, which is to have the meaning of competition, to see who recruits the most, which is also a way to show their strength." However, for so many years, in Sifang City, the Zhao family has never won against the Wang family, and they have always been suppressed by them."

"Then do you know why these two families come here every year to recruit warriors?"

"You don't know this?" The cloth-clothed young man just wanted to laugh at him, but when he saw Chen Fan's cold eyes, he hurriedly swallowed back his words and continued: "These two families are both local famous families, and the patriarchs of both families are friendly with the Adventurer Association, in view of this, these two families are eligible to run for the Adventurer Association every year, and they come here to recruit martial artists to fight on behalf of the family. ”

Hearing this, Chen Fan and Yue Wuya glanced at each other, and they both saw deep joy in each other's eyes.

Chen Fan raised his head towards the Zhao family, and the latter understood, and several people strode to the registration desk.

The Zhao family was in charge of registering the personnel in his early forties, and at this time, the middle-aged man was sitting at a table, with a bitter face on his face.

Suddenly, the sound of rhythmic tapping on the table woke up the middle-aged man who was looking down at the notebook in a daze.

The middle-aged man hurriedly raised his head, only to see a handsome young man in a black robe standing in front of the table, looking at his age, only about twenty, carrying a long ring ruler on his back, at this time, his hand was still on the table, it seemed that he knocked on the table just now, and beside the young man, there was a handsome girl and another tall young man.

The middle-aged man looked at the people who suddenly appeared, was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly asked, "Few, is there anything wrong?"

Chen Fan smiled and asked, "Are you recruiting martial artists?"

The middle-aged man nodded and replied, "Not bad!"

Chen Fan grinned and said, "That's right, a few of us are here to sign up!"
