The middle-aged man is in drama mode right now, he was ready to cry out and succumb to his sorrow. However, he was surprised to see the young man earlier came back too early but this time it was now running so fast.
"Eh??"
The middle-aged man wanted to intercept the young man and ask for more information but when he tried to, he saw the bun seller was chasing the young man while carrying a thick chopping knife.
"I swear to God! I really forgot my pouch! Please pardon me! I'm not trying to swindle you! I'm going to pay it back in double!"
Lei Chen yelling these words to the bun seller while he keeps on dashing so fast.
The bun seller stop and did not pursue Lei Chen anymore with his fat body he was so tired already. He just shouts to the disappearing figure of the young man while rising and shaking the chopping knife on his right hand.
"You must have to come back to pay! or else I will search your house and charged you a thousand times the price of my bun!" The seller returns to his store wherein he left his wife to take care of it at the moment while he is chasing the young man.
The middle-aged man was having a second thought right now, he did not know if he would trust that young man anymore.
"Sigh, I guess, I should try, there's nothing for me to be afraid of, he did not know my real identity. But if he does then I will do my best to silence him" The middle-aged man had a solemn look, and bring along his son to get on to the place stated on the map. They were living here in this remote town for nearly 3 years and they already know every corner of this town.
While in the small restaurant where his Aunt Ling and her husband currently happily serving the customers who came. They didn't have thought that this day will come too soon.
Abruptly, a person came in, wearing black clothes and a straw hat to cover up his murderous eyes along with his exquisite sword that was placed at his back. The eyes of the couple were fixed to the black clothes man.
That black clothes person did not sit on a vacant table, instead, he placed a silver plate on the table. The size of the plate is big as the baby's palm, it seems like it is used as a crest or insignia. The couple looks at each other and leads the black clothes man to the backroom.
The black clothes man was now more polite compared to his behavior before and it greets the couple in a very respectful manner.
"Good day, it's an honor to talk to the famous couple and convey the order of the higher-ups. Madam Poison Stinger and Master Reaper Shadow, this lowly person called Steel Raven, the higher-ups wanted you to move to the next city to take over the Butterfly Restaurant."
Lei Chen's Aunt Ling was the first to react, to the order. "Why so sudden? is it because I stepped in with the other people trouble killed those lowly soldiers? But Sister Zhang..."
Xiao Ling was not able to finish her word her husband disrupt her. "Ling'er, Don't finish your word, you know her name is taboo."
"No Madam Poison Stinger that is not the reason, Mr. Red Serpent is dead, he failed the mission. They want you and Master Reaper Shadow to take over the task, it seems the target is not an ordinary figure."
The couple didn't have a choice but to obey the order.
"So, when they want us to move in next city?" question by Reaper Shadow.
"The sooner the better, we already prepared everything you need."
.....
Lei Chen found his pouch where his money was, he might drop it when he was cleaning before. After a couple of minutes, Lei Chen detected the aura of the middle-aged man in front of their house.
When the beggar raises his hand to knock on the door, he heard Lei Chen's. "It's open, come, I've been waiting for you."
The beggar is surprised because he was already detected by Lei Chen. Now the Beggar understands that Lei Chen is not an ordinary person.
When the middle-aged man and a young boy came in, they saw Lei Chen is sitting and waiting for them.
"Good day senior, my name is Lei Chen. I know the fact that you're here is you choose to rise from your fall. However, I can discern the doubt in your eyes and feel weary in your heart, I can't blame you for that. So now tell me would you want to rise again?"
The middle-aged man shakes his head, he is still doubting Lei Chen capability and thinking that how could this mere young man capable of helping him? even he is a handicap now, he will be able to kill Lei Chen because he detected that Lei Chen is only at Elite Stage 1. The only reason he came in, is to confirm that Lei Chen did not know his real identity. Now that he knows Lei Chen was no clue, the middle-aged man turns around and acting to leave.
When Lei Chen saw this, he did not blame the beggar, he know he was too young and his cultivation stage is too low. Lei Chen just takes a deep sigh and casually says a word. " It seems you don't want that thing to take out from your body, I can only suggest living happily now because you've still got 4 months to live. "
The whole body of the middle-aged man was trembling and he wasn't able also to make a further step like his whole world had stopped.
It hurriedly returns to Lei Chen and kneels then bangs his head on the floor.
"Please pardon for the incompetent of my sight! If I know young master capabilities I will not act too haughty. I will swear to heavens that if young master able to help me. I and my son will swear our loyalty."
He did not belittle Lei Chen anymore, to the fact that the young man able to discerns his condition, it only means that this young man is a Physician Master!
"Hahaha! good, good! First, tell me your name, Senior, or meaning to say, Madam." Lei Chen finds out the real identity of this beggar when he used 'Spiritual Eye' earlier, he was a bit shock at first.
The person in front of him, giggled like a lady and her face and body reverted to their original form, a beautiful girl. Even though she already has a child her body still in perfect shape, especially the twin tower is a little bit bigger than normal.
While Lei Chen is looking at the lady he heard the system rang.
[ Congratulations! you've completed the quest! you will now see the two manuals in your library and already added 300 HP. ]
("What!? I've already completed it? it seems that she completely trusted me.")
"Please pardon me young master for altering my appearance, we just want to escape from our pursuer. I'm Yumao Meili from Yumao Clan, my husband is a patriarch of the Yumao Clan Branch Family. We've been betrayed by his younger brother and challenge my husband for the position, we did not know how his younger brother suddenly becomes so powerful and defeated my husband."
Yumao Meili was sobbing while telling the story to Lei Chen.
"A day after the battle, one of our friends who is a Physician Apprentice, told us that we do have a Mid Level Energy-Consuming Worm inside our body that sapping our Qi."
Energy Consuming Worm is the family of Soul Consuming Worm, the difference is the first one drains your energy and will not stop until you die, also your cultivation will drop. But Energy-Consuming Worm will only eat once you activate your Qi. However, the latter worm is eating your soul continuously.
" My husband tried to protest to the Clan Head, however, he found out that this is their plan all along and the person who inserted the worm to us was the Clan Head himself, he inserted it during the festival five days before their battle."
"Then what's the motive of your Head Clan why they help him?" Lei Chen asks Meili.
"It turns out the Yumao Ji is the illegitimate son of Yumao Wan, the Clan Head. My mother has an affair with the Clan Head before and the fruit is Yumao Ji. They imprison my husband for the case of treachery and they wanted me as their plaything so my husband helps me and my son to escape using the dimension scroll, but before the dimension door closed they were able to cut my left hand using the sword energy."
