Chapter 2: Yangfu Sect
Chen Yuan was taken aback.
"Thank you, Brother Lin." In the memories of his predecessor, Lin Cheng had helped him like this before.
The reason was that two years ago, when the previous incarnation first came to Xishi to work, he accidentally saved Lin Cheng's daughter.
Since then, Lin Cheng has taken great care of him.
Recalling these memories, Chen Yuan didn't put on airs and sat down. He usually goes to work quite early, and the family members haven't gotten up yet. Given his position in the family, his stepmother wouldn't specifically prepare breakfast for him.
'Now, I'm indeed hungry.'
Lin Cheng asked with concern, "I noticed you haven't been to the market for the past couple of days, and yesterday you weren't as efficient as usual, looking a bit dazed. Did something happen at home?"
"I caught a cold and have been lying down for two days." Chen Yuan shook his head and said, "I'm feeling better now, thank you for your concern, Brother Lin."
"I thought your stepmother was causing you trouble again for no reason." Lin Cheng's expression softened, and he sighed, "If you keep going on like this, it won't end well."
"Given your family's situation, even if you split up in the future, you probably won't get much. You need to start planning early."
"How about I help you find Chen Shuli and speak on your behalf? You're still young, it's the perfect time for you to learn skills, you really shouldn't waste it."
Chen Yuan forced a smile and said, "I'm afraid it won't help. My two younger siblings are currently studying martial arts at the dojo, and the expenses are quite significant. My stepmother wouldn't want to part with a free laborer like me."
"Besides, you know what my father is like; he never takes care of family matters. Even if Brother Lin goes to him to plead my case, it wouldn't make any difference."
Lin Cheng sighed, "You're better off coming from a poor family." Chen Yuan said, "At least I have a chance to live, which is better than many others. I won't push it."
"..."
While chatting...
"Murder!"
In the market, a sudden scream broke out.
The entire market was instantly thrown into chaos.
"Where do you think you're going, demon? Surrender now!" Chen Yuan and the other person immediately turned to look in the direction of the voice.
They saw a few men dressed as constables, wielding long knives, chasing a robust Taoist priest in a yellow robe who was carrying an iron sword, entering the market from the entrance.
When the two looked over, they saw the man in the yellow robe knock down a few bystanders blocking his way and run near the noodle stall. Chen Yuan was startled.
"Not good! Hurry up!" Lin Cheng had already jumped up suddenly, grabbed him, and hurriedly dragged him into a nearby alley: "It's the yamen runners chasing the Yangfu Sect demons. Quickly, get out of the way. These cult members are ruthless killers, don't get involved!"
Yangfu Sect?
Chen Yuan had heard of this sect's name; it was rumored to be a rebellious force within the borders of Feng Nation. Inside, there are ruthless and wicked people who view ordinary citizens as nothing more than pigs and dogs.
Chen Yuan did not dare to be negligent and hurried his steps.
Sure enough.
As soon as the two entered the alley, they saw the fugitive being pursued, dodging while grabbing an ordinary citizen who hadn't had time to escape, using them as a shield against the knife. Sizzle!
The constables didn't seem to care about the lives of ordinary citizens; as soon as their long knives were drawn, they showed no intention of stopping. Seeing several men, women, and children, blood splattered on the spot in this senseless disaster!
Chen Yuan watched all of this from a distance, his face momentarily turning pale. He knew that there were martial artists in this world. Although the previous life did not have direct contact, having mingled in the streets, there were no shortage of related rumors heard.
According to the memories of his previous life, the martial arts prowess of warriors in this world seems to be about the same as the heroes in Chen Yuan's past life martial arts novels. Running on rooftops, walking on walls, plucking leaves and flying flowers, lifting a thousand pounds... all of it can be done.
When Chen Yuan first arrived in this world, he fantasized about learning martial arts. It's just that due to the circumstances, he hadn't had the chance to ponder it yet. However, he didn't expect that the martial artists in this world were so volatile.
Disregarding the law, killing people on the long street. Casually using ordinary people as human shields, treating human life as if it were worthless. Seeing those ordinary civilians who were innocently caught up in it and died on the spot.
Chen Yuan felt extremely insecure for a moment.' No, I need to find a way to change my situation as soon as possible.'
Looking at the distant figure of the Yangfu Sect demon, who was engaging with the yamen runners, moving swiftly and wielding his long sword with incredible speed. Chen Yuan took a deep breath.
If life is a bit tough, he can still endure it. Having a constant threat to his life was something he couldn't accept.
However, just at that moment. A mysterious message suddenly entered his mind!
[Observed unknown swordsmanship technique, insufficient information, unable to record]?!
Chen Yuan was startled. Suddenly, His brow ached.
In a daze, it seemed as if a jade book breathing with white light appeared before his eyes!
Meanwhile, another piece of information once again merged into his consciousness.
[Observed unknown swordsmanship technique, insufficient information, unable to record]
Chen Yuan's eyes widened slightly. This is?
