Chapter 116: The Five Years That Were Stolen [One Update]
"Great Elder, are we still knocking on the door?"
Coming to Chu Bufan's door again, a relative elder of Yanxia Villa, who was full of snow-white sideburns, looked at the red lacquered wooden door in front of him, and asked Li Changqing, who had a slightly strange complexion, with a slightly strange face.

"Knock it!"
Li Changqing's slightly cloudy eyes moved slightly, looking at the red lacquered wooden door that had just been broken by his own ferociousness, his pupils contracted slightly, and his whole complexion looked slightly unnatural.
Hearing this, the elder of the Yanxia Mountain Villa, who was full of snow-white sideburns, nodded, lifted his long cuffs upward, stretched out his hand on the wooden door, and ......knocked on the door three times with great politeness and elegance, and said in a respectful tone: "Owner, I have something to ask, can I go in?"
Soon, Chu Bufan's slightly majestic voice came from inside the room, "Come in!"
Hearing this, the elder couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately, their owner, because of the kindness of the old owner, treated their group of relatives with enough tolerance, several elders of Yanxia Villa outside the house glanced at each other, the second elder in the crowd groaned, and took the lead in pushing the door in, and the rest of the group of descendants of Yanxia Villa and Li Changqing behind him crept behind him.
Compared with the aggressiveness just now, this time they seemed polite, as if they had forgotten that the purpose of their coming here this time was to ask the teacher for their crimes.
In the room, Chu Bufan was wearing a robe, his upright face was a little haggard, he was holding the account book sorted out below, as if he was seriously calculating something, as if he hadn't noticed Li Changqing and a few people who came in, he lowered his brows, picked up the already cold tea next to him and took a sip, and then put his eyes on the account book in his hand again.
At this time, in the room, the abrupt silence is a little weird, usually these chattering and eloquent relatives and elders, at this moment seem to suddenly seem to be dumb, one by one dare not come out, just like a child who has made a mistake and stand in a row, waiting for their parents to admonish.
On weekdays, although they often pick eggs and pick bones, they dislike Chu Bufan, the owner of the village, who is not doing well and not doing well, arrogant and domineering, but it is entirely because Chu Bufan looks at the face of the old owner, and he is too lazy to take care of them with one eye closed.
Who knows, over time, this has fueled the arrogance of this group of relatives, making them more and more arrogant, this time it was finally too arrogant and hit the nail, which provoked Chu Bufan to be angry, and now he has been beaten, and he has become honest and obedient like a baby.
In the slightly depressed atmosphere in the room, in the end, Li Changqing took the lead in standing up, thinking of the purpose of this time, he felt a little more confident for no reason, he snorted coldly, looked at Chu Bufan who was looking at the account books in front of the desk, his cheeks full of wrinkles moved slightly, and he said in a loud voice.
"The owner, this time we took the golden hibiscus dart, the stakes are very high, it is related to whether our Yanxia Villa can continue to remain in the key to the hundred major forces before the Xuanting meeting, originally this time, the old man wanted to take responsibility, but the owner insisted on taking charge of himself, now this first batch of goods, under the wise guidance of the owner, is gone, as the great elder of Yanxia Villa, I think I am qualified to ask the owner for an explanation, right?!"
Chu Bufan's eyebrows were slightly raised, the account book in his hand was slowly put down, he raised the slightly majestic face of the Chinese character, and examined the wrinkled face of the great elder, Li Changqing's face changed slightly, and he subconsciously took a step back, looking at Chu Bufan's actions, he seemed to have a shadow, thinking that Chu Bufan, the horseman, was about to throw himself out again, and said angrily with a suffocated red face: "Chu Bufan, don't deceive people too much, I knocked on the door this time......" Li Changqing was halfway through his words, and couldn't help but have a soft tone full of grievances.
Chu Bufan was a little dumbfounded, looking at Li Changqing, who was a little too excited, he couldn't help but shake his head a little speechlessly, his eyelids trembled slightly, and he chuckled: "Great Elder, where did you hear the rumors? Last night, our goods were not in the original warehouse, but it was just that I transferred a place to store them for safety, how can it be that as the owner of Yanxia Villa, I don't even have this right?"
"What didn't you lose?"
Li Changqing's mouth widened suddenly, and there was an incredible look in his eyes, as if he had seen a ghost, the disciples he sent got the news that no one did anything in their Yanxia Villa in Weicheng last night, but the goods in the warehouse were gone, and it was obvious that they were stolen, so he hurriedly pulled a group of elders to come to Chu Bufan Xingshi to ask him about the crime, but in the end, Chu Bufan told him that the goods were not stolen, what kind of joke? !
Looking at Chu Bufan's determined appearance, the dry skin on Li Changqing's face was wrinkled, although he was full of suspicion, but subconsciously he had already chosen to believe Chu Bufan's words, because he knew their owner's temperament very well, as if he didn't bother to hide anything, right is right, wrong was wrong, and he never shirked responsibility.
It's as if he succumbed to such a declining force as Yanxia Villa because of a promise, and he worked hard to be the aggrieved owner of the village for 20 years without complaining.
Li Changqing was a little puzzled, but it was obvious that there were no people from their Yanxia Villa in the city last night, so who removed such a huge batch of goods? Of course, he didn't ask, he knew very interestingly that Chu Bufan was not interested in answering his curiosity.
So, Li Changqing had no choice but to take a group of relatives and elders who came to ask for sins early in the morning, holding back his anger, and left in a gloomy manner.
After Li Changqing and the others left, Chu Bufan rubbed his somewhat tired head, straightened out the robe he was wearing, opened the window, looked at the misty courtyard under the morning light, and couldn't help but stretch his waist, and the face of the national character showed a touch of surprise, and muttered: "Who is this little adventurer? Could it be that he helped me Yanxia Villa, as he said, it happened to be a coincidence, just a handy effort?"
The paper ball in his hand had already condensed into a ball of dry ink, and glancing at the paper ball in his hand, Chu Bufan muttered in a low voice: "A month ago, I heard in Xiqi Mountain that a fledgling adventurer was targeted by the disciples of the Qingxuanmen and the Remnant Sword Sect, and the fledgling adventurer was almost killed by the disciples of these two forces several times. β
"If that adventurer makes a move, it is also in the past to take revenge on the Remnant Sword Sect to vent his resentment, if you infer from this, this young man who calls himself a little adventurer may really be unable to see it last night and helped us Yanxia Villa. β
This morning, a waiji disciple of Yanxia Villa found stolen goods in an empty warehouse under Yanxia Villa, and found a note on the goods.
Frowning for a moment, Chu Bufan flicked his fingers and flicked the crumpled ball of paper in his hand into the paper basket next to the desk, and suddenly a bright light flashed in his head, as if he remembered something, and muttered, "Huh...... By the way, it seems that the time when Yang'er first went down the mountain coincided with the time when the young adventurer first entered the mountain!"
Thinking of his own speculation, Chu Bufan smiled bitterly again, and secretly said that he was too fantastical, after all, he still recognized his son's handwriting, and the words on the note left by the adventurer were a little jerky, like the writing of a person who had read very little, and his son had read poetry and books since he was a child, and he had written a good handful of elegant words since he was a child.
Moreover, although he didn't know what was so strange about the Demon Sutra, Chu Bufan knew that his son had just sensed the qi for a short time, and it was lucky to be able to reach the Imperial Qi Double Heaven in half a month, and that adventurer was able to kill the remnants of the Imperial Qi Fifth Heaven, according to his estimates, his strength was at least between the Fourth Heaven and the Fifth Heaven of the Imperial Qi, and he didn't know how much stronger than his son, not because he thought his son was too wasteful, but because his son started five years later than a child of the same age, and five years was an unimaginable gap for a child in the cultivation periodγ
"Alas, if it weren't for the five years delayed by the sword soul in his body, with Yang'er's talent, I'm afraid that he is now a young hero like that young adventurer, right?"
"According to the rules, a person can take five taels of silver, and he will take ......"
In a remote alley, next to a pile of bamboo, a group of people gathered together, and the man in the center of the group was laughing and handing out silver taels.
"Little brother, this is more profitable than the anti-sack at the dock, there will be such a good thing in the future, and I will be called to come, no matter how late it is, I will guarantee it." A tall and strong man wearing red linen said happily with a smile and playing with the silver ingot in his hand.
"Roll the calves, it depends on whether there is such a good thing, hurry up and ...... it"
Chen Xiaoai fiddled with the toothpick in her mouth, kicked on the big cow's buttocks, and said scoldingly.
Next to the bamboo, a young man wearing a hat, lazily leaning against the wall, his hands interlaced in front of him, Chen Xiaoai sent away the group of porters who called from the dock, squinted and came to the young man's side, flattering his fingers, and said with low eyebrows: "Master, I don't know what else, Xiaoai can work for you?"
"Help me find out the recent movements of all the personnel of the Weicheng Remnant Sword Sect, and connect here tomorrow night, this is the deposit. As he spoke, Chu Yang threw out a money bag that he had received from the disciple of the Remnant Sword Sect last night, and without the slightest hesitation, he walked along the slightly muddy puddle alleyway towards the end of the alleyway.
"Master walk slowly, Xiao Ai guarantees to make you satisfied. β
The man with the thief's eyebrows and rat-eyed eyes took out the toothpick in his mouth, hurriedly assured Chu Yang's back, looking at the figure of the young man who disappeared in the alleyway, he put the toothpick in his mouth again and stirred it, lowered his head with a smile and played with the money bag in his hand, and took the trouble to check the silver in the money bag again and again.
