Chapter 44: Disciple of the Tiger Sect
Ling Chen didn't know the movements of the sergeant behind him, he followed the route he had memorized before, and was ready to go to the inn to find Liuhuo and the others first.
Along the way, people came and went, and the sound of transactions was endless, and it was obvious that this mercenary conference had driven the economic prosperity of the entire city.
Ling Chen saw that many mercenaries were directly setting up stalls on the side of the road, and there were some furs of fierce beasts and some spirit grasses and elixirs on them, but unfortunately these things were completely useless to Ling Chen, he did not stop at all, and continued to walk in the direction of the inn.
But what Ling Chen didn't know was that just as he passed by an inn, a gaze had already fallen on him.
After a while, there were many fewer people on the street, and the outline of an inn not far away was already faintly visible, which was the inn where Ling Chen once stayed.
After Xiao Er's incident, Liuhuo and the others also moved to the inn where Ling Chen lived.
Although the inn was in the middle of nowhere, it was already full, and as soon as Ling Chen walked into the store, he saw several people gathered around the counter, talking to a slightly ordinary person.
Ling Chen knew at a glance that this was the shopkeeper of this inn, looking at him with a sad face, Ling Chen knew that he must have met some difficult person, Ling Chen didn't want to get involved in this matter, and hurriedly walked towards the guest room upstairs.
"Guest, please slow!"
Just as Ling Chen was about to walk up the stairs, he heard the shopkeeper calling behind him, and he turned to look at the shopkeeper helplessly and said with a far-fetched smile: "What's the matter with the shopkeeper?"
At this time, Ling Chen had already scolded in his heart: "I'm really afraid of something!"
"A few guest officers, that guest room belongs to this guest officer, you can discuss it with him. The shopkeeper pointed at Ling Chen to the three people in front of him and said.
Ling Chen also looked at the three of them when he heard this, and saw that the three of them, two men and one woman were dressed in uniform clothes, the appearance of the two men was mediocre, but the women were full of rouge and gouache, which looked very enchanting, they all wore a long sword in their hands, one of the three was in the early stage of martial arts, and the other two were in the middle stage of martial arts.
Ling Chen couldn't help but glance at the young man with the initial strength of the martial artist a few more times, only to see that the young man's face was handsome, and his eyes also revealed a sense of arrogance.
"Oh?" one of the young men with the strength of a martial artist sighed, frowning and looking at Ling Chen, he also felt the abnormal fluctuation of Xuan power on Ling Chen's body, that fluctuation was not much different from their senior brother, but he couldn't see Ling Chen's strength and turned to look at his senior brother suspiciously, and asked, "Senior Brother Wei, what kind of strength is he?"
"Late stage of martial arts!" Wei Ren also frowned, obviously seeing the strangeness of Ling Chen's strength, but after all, he was a realm higher than Ling Chen, so he could naturally see Ling Chen's strength lightly.
Then the martial arts young man suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart when he heard this, and Ling Chen, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, secretly guessed that Ling Chen was just a genius child of a certain big family, and they were disciples of the sect, so he naturally overrode the local family and said arrogantly: "We want a room, seeing that you haven't lived in it for so long, let the room out, and I will give you silver." ”
The three of them came here naturally to stay in the hotel, and they were also because they were going to participate in the mercenary conference, but because they were called back on the way, they only arrived at this Lu Yu City today, and the inn in the city was basically full, and they finally found that there was a vacant room in this inn.
When the shopkeeper took them upstairs, he found that the next room didn't seem to be occupied, so he asked the shopkeeper curiously, and the shopkeeper naturally told them that this room had been unoccupied for nearly seven days.
So the young man with the strength of the martial artist proposed that they pay fifty taels and let the shopkeeper give them the room, and the shopkeeper was naturally very happy, so when he took everyone to the counter to check the registration record, he found that the room was completely open, and the mortgage had a deposit of thirty taels of silver, and the rental period was one month, and now it has only been less than half a month, so he is also very difficult.
But the young man with the strength of a martial artist was not happy, and directly took out the name of the sect to press the shopkeeper, and when the shopkeeper was about to compromise, he happened to come back, so he hurriedly called Ling Chen to be a shield.
Ling Chen's face became a little ugly when he listened to the young man's commanding tone, obviously he didn't have a good impression of this person, and just responded out of politeness: "Not good!"
"You..."The martial arts strength young man was momentarily speechless by Ling Chen's decisive answer, and looked at the senior brother with a pleading look.
The senior brother was still a little entangled in his heart, but at this time, the ordinary little junior sister showed a trace of charm, pulled the senior brother's sleeve and whispered a few words in her ear, only to see the senior brother raise his eyebrows, with an excited look on his face, and said to the young man with the strength of the martial artist: "Senior brother Chengyou, give him some money and send him away!"
Wu Chengyou got the signal of his senior brother, took out a fifty taels silver ticket directly from his arms, arrogantly threw it in front of Ling Chen and said, "Here is a fifty taels of silver ticket, take it and get out!"
Ling Chen's face instantly turned cold when he saw this, what this group of people did was completely trampling on his dignity, Ling Chen didn't have the slightest word, staring at Wu Chengyou indifferently.
"Look at what, don't you still want to do it! Look at what this is!" Wu Chengyou was anxious to express himself in front of his senior brother, and his words were very strong.
"There is a saying that disaster comes from the mouth, you should know, right?" his face turned cold, and even his tone revealed a hint of coldness.
Ling Chen never thought that when he returned to the inn, he would encounter this kind of brain-dead person who used the name of the sect to make a fortune.
"Woe comes from the mouth, if you want to cure the master, you also have to have this strength!" Wu Chengyou directly pointed to a standard on his clothes after speaking, and said: "I see that the master is from the Tiger Sect, but behind me is Senior Brother Wei with the strength of my sect's martial master, how can you provoke it!"
Wu Chengyou's words not only used the sect to suppress Ling Chen, but also patted Wei Ren's sycophants.
"Strength?" Ling Chen muttered softly, a sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth, and the Xuan power in his whole body suddenly frantically surged from the dantian to his limbs.
Ling Chen jumped down the stairs and immediately accelerated towards Wu Chengyou, and before he could react, he grabbed his neck and lifted him into the air.
The bewitching little junior sister was taken aback, and couldn't help but exclaim, and buried her head directly in Wei Ren's arms.
Wei Ren saw his little junior sister hiding in his arms, a wicked smile flashed on his face, and he hugged the little junior sister with one hand and said, "Hurry up and let my junior brother go!"
Ling Chen glanced lightly at Wei Ren, who was holding a woman in his hand, and said indifferently: "If you don't have this strength, don't think about holding a woman while trying to save people." ”
"Hmph! even a mere martial artist dares to be presumptuous in front of me!" Wei Ren was obviously enraged by Ling Chen, and hugged the bewitching little junior sister tighter with a cold snort, the little junior sister couldn't help but let out a low groan when she was hugged like this, and Wei Ren immediately looked at the bewitching little junior sister with heavy makeup in his arms with a lewd smile on his face when he heard this.
"I don't care about the early stage of a martial artist at all!" Ling Chen said in a cold tone, with Ling Chen's current strength, he didn't have to be afraid of the early stage of a martial artist at all.
"What a gut!" Wei Ren was really angered by Ling Chen at this time, and pushed away the little junior sister who was curled up in his arms and directly drew his sword, and said viciously: "Let you see what combat skills are!"
After Wei Ren finished speaking, he directly poured Xuan power into the long sword, and his momentum continued to rise.
"Who just injured my deputy head of the regiment!"
I only heard a majestic voice sound, and the flowing fire rushed in directly, and a punch with Xuan Power fluctuations directly hit Wei Ren, who was gathering qi.
Wei Ren sensed the danger and hurriedly avoided it, and the fist of the flowing fire smashed directly on the table behind Wei Ren, and the table suddenly became torn apart.
"Martial arts early stage?" Wei Ren looked at the sudden flow of fire in surprise, and his eyebrows wrinkled into Sichuan characters.
"Your Excellency... It's an extraordinary time, I hope you think twice!" Flowing Fire didn't pay attention to Wei Ren, but knelt down on one knee in front of Ling Chen and said.
When Ling Chen heard the hatred in his heart, he directly threw Wu Chengyou to the ground, now is indeed an extraordinary time, and he can't even teach a lesson!
"yes, I guess there was some misunderstanding. Wei Ren saw the flowing fire of the martial master's strength kneeling in front of Ling Chen and shouting to his lord, he was stunned in his heart, the martial artists all called him "adult", then his true strength must be higher than himself!
"He can actually hide his strength!" Wei Ren's heart was not to mention how surprised he was, and he couldn't help but start speculating about Ling Chen's true strength in his heart.
"Misunderstanding? The room is mine, and it was you who forcibly snatched it, and it was you who threw the silver ticket on the ground and insulted my dignity, where did the misunderstanding come from!" Ling Chen replied sternly, showing no mercy to Wei Ren and others.
Wei Ren's face became extremely ugly when he saw Ling Chen's stern response, if it weren't for the task of the sect, he would definitely have to fight Ling Chen for fear of causing trouble.
"Don't be impatient, my subordinates have important things in the group. Liuhuo got up and whispered in Ling Chen's ear.
Hearing this, Ling Chen glanced at Flowing Fire, and Flowing Fire nodded and gestured to Ling Chen, and Ling Chen glanced coldly at Wei Ren and walked towards the upstairs guest room.
And Liuhuo watched Ling Chen go upstairs and breathe a sigh of relief, he also glanced at Wei Ren indifferently and walked upstairs.
Wei Ren, as a disciple of the sect, was ignored like this, his teeth itched, his fists were clenched tightly, his eyes were full of anger, and he was determined to take revenge on Ling Chen whenever he had the opportunity!
In the guest room, Ling Chen sat at the table drinking tea, and then Flowing Fire also entered the room, knelt on one knee and reported: "Deputy Commander, the Aoki Mercenary Group has announced its separation from the Blue Wolf Mercenary Group. ”
"Oh?" Ling Chen sighed, obviously still a little surprised, after all, breaking away from the mercenary group at this critical moment was a big blow to the entire mercenary group, Ling Chen asked towards the flowing fire, "Why did you break away at this critical moment?"
"This subordinate doesn't know. Liuhuo replied directly, and this news was also confirmed by him just now.
"Well, where is the inn where the head of the regiment is staying now?" Ling Chenen asked, tomorrow is the mercenary conference, and he must meet Chen You.
"There's no news from the head yet. Flowing Fire replied bluntly.
After answering Ling Chen, Liuhuo seemed to think of something, his brows furrowed, and he said with some hesitation: "There is a message about the head of the regiment under my subordinates, I don't know if it's true or not. ”
