"Shua"
In a dark and inaccessible alley, with a soft sound, four figures climbed over the wall and fell down. Through the dim candlelight outside the alley, one could barely see clearly that they were four figures hidden in black cloaks.
"You are wanted by the Pique family, and now this outfit will also be searched. Are you sure you don't want to come with us?" Han Yue played with the purple dagger in her hand, and asked casually with eyes like autumn water.
"No need, see you on the day the auction starts." Ye Yun left a message softly, hugged the unconscious Star Swallowing Demon Wolf, and walked deeper into the alley, his figure slowly disappearing into the night.
Han Yue curled her lips and secretly scolded Ye Yun for being timid. She naturally knew that Ye Yun was aware of their secret actions, and in order to avoid being implicated, he kept a distance from them. If it were not for the gold card of the Nosius family required to enter the auction, I am afraid that Ye Yun would not want to be with them.
But do you think you can escape?
As if remembering something, under the cloak, Han Yue's charming, fox-like jade face slightly lifted her red lips, which was really moving.
…
Gore's death undoubtedly caused a big shock in Apocalypse City. Countless soldiers wearing armor were searching for any suspicious persons in the streets and alleys, and the whole city was on alert.
"Search quickly! It's dirty and smelly here!"
In Tianqi City's famous slum alley, five big men in military armor frowned and glanced at this dilapidated, dirty and messy alley that had not been repaired for many years, with disgust in their eyes. Behind them stood a group of residents with shabby clothes and sallow faces, with panic and fear on their faces.
"Have you ever seen four men wearing cloaks and carrying a wolf?" A big man at the head suddenly turned around and said impatiently. Apparently he didn't let the alley soil his armor.
"Sir, there have never been outsiders here." An older man bent forward and said with a flattering smile on his face.
"Stop, stop, stop! Old guy, stay away from me! I'm sure no one will come here. Let's go back and return!" The big man waved his hand with disgust and left quickly with his men.
As soon as they left, the residents who were called out for questioning returned to their houses, and soon there was only one boy and one girl left.
"Go home, Shanman." The girl, who was extremely pale and frail, pulled the boy who was still staring at the direction the sergeants left and said softly.
She looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, and her clothes exuded a musty smell. Due to long-term malnutrition, her face was full of green color. It was obviously a hot summer night, but her body could not stop shivering, as if she was in a severe winter.
"Sister, they are so impressive. They must have endless amounts of steamed buns." The boy, who had a dirty face and looked only eight or nine years old, looked at the entrance of the alley in a daze, his eyes full of yearning and envy. Speaking of steamed buns , he couldn't help but swallowed.
The girl's eyes dimmed, she touched the boy's head tenderly, and said softly: "Sister, I will let Shanman eat steamed buns tomorrow."
"No, the mountain man is not hungry. Sister, don't go fishing, you will be beaten." The boy was stunned, then turned around and hugged the girl, saying with worry on his face.
Catching fish is actually stealing. Most poor people have no other way to earn food, so fishing has become their only means of survival.
The girl forced a smile and said nothing. She took her brother's hand and walked deeper into the alley. Soon they came to a dilapidated wooden house.
This is their home. Although it is very dilapidated, it can protect them from wind and rain and give them a rare warmth.
Pushing open the wooden door that was only half-remained due to the corrosion of time, the girl was about to lead her brother into the house, but her eyes suddenly stopped, and a figure appeared in the house.
There was deep fear on the girl's face. She recalled in her mind the stories of thieves who killed their owners after being caught stealing in the house. She couldn't help but said in a trembling voice: "Take whatever you want, don't kill." us……"
The figures in the room paused for a moment, and after a few breaths passed, a clear voice sounded.
"I won't take your things and I won't kill you. How about I rent you here for one night and pay you rent?"
The boy hid nervously behind the girl. Hearing this, his eyes lit up with joy. Just when he was about to agree, the girl said first, "You can live here if you want. You don't have to pay."
That kind of cautious attitude is really heartbreaking.
The figure was silent for a moment and said softly: "Come in, you are the masters here."
Hearing this, fear appeared on the girl's face again, and she said with a cry: "My lord, please, don't hurt us, we can be your servants."
The figure sighed softly, turned his hand, and a ball of flame appeared. In an instant, the fire dispelled the darkness. Only then did the two of them see clearly that the figure was a good-looking young man with black hair and black eyes. Behind him lay a red-haired boy. Big white and white dog.
It was Ye Yun.
"You are a magician!" The girl and boy looked happy. They knew that magicians had a high status and would not be interested in their things.
Ye Yun smiled without explaining, took out a silver coin and handed it to the girl, saying: "This is the rent. I heard what you just said. Go buy something to eat."
There are three types of currency in Shenqi Continent: copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins. One gold coin can be exchanged for 100 rose silver coins for 10,000 copper coins, and one silver coin can allow ordinary people to live comfortably for a month.
"Sir, one copper coin is enough." The girl said timidly. One copper coin can buy several steamed buns.
Ye Yun reached out and touched her head, and when her face was flushed, he said, "It doesn't matter. You can go buy some delicious food for the rest tomorrow."
The girl blushed and hummed slightly, not daring to look up at Ye Yun.
After glancing around, there was only a broken wooden bed in the room, Ye Yun said softly: "You guys go to sleep, I don't need to sleep if I want to meditate."
Meditation is a training method for magicians in this world. It can be used to increase spiritual power, but in Ye Yun's opinion, the efficiency is too low.
Nodding slightly, the girl who still didn't dare to look at Ye Yun's face pulled her curious brother towards the wooden bed. But when she turned around, her eyes quickly glanced at Ye Yun, and her face turned even redder.
Seeing the two of them lying down obediently without saying a word, Ye Yun nodded slightly and extinguished the fireball with a "pop", and the room was instantly plunged into darkness.
After taking out all the soul jade spirit stones from the space ring, Ye Yun sat down cross-legged, started practicing the exercises.
The crystal clear soul jade emanated invisible soul power in strands, and then continued to penetrate into Ye Yun's mind, while the spirit stone was instantly drained of all spiritual energy, and was absorbed and refined by Ye Yun like a whale.
