"Where are we going now?"
Gu Xinyan's eyes that were hidden under the red veil looked at Du Shaofu, his lips moved slightly, and his mouth formed a perfect arc.
Du Shaofu said: "I would like to go to the Castle of Mu Family auction first. Do you know where I can go first?"
"Got it." Gu Xinyan nodded.
In the daytime, the streets and alleys were bustling with activity due to the Dark City, and streams of people surged about as they resounded out amidst the clamoring sounds.
In the past two days, he had been able to see quite a few unfamiliar figures appear in the streets and alleys, but he had not attracted much attention.
To Dark City, it was a very normal thing for some strangers to appear within them.
In the streets and alleys, in the midst of the bustling crowd, there was no lack of people discussing the great battle of Dark City the night before.
The exchange of blows between many Expert of Martial Duke Stage s was extremely shocking. After being vividly described by everyone, coupled with some exaggeration and jealousy, the rumors became more and more outrageous.
Trading Company of Mu Family towered over the busiest and most bustling streets of the Dark City. Immense buildings towered above the ground, occupying an extremely large area, and almost took up an entire half of the entire street.
It was said that in the VIP room on the second floor, even high-grade Profound Rank skills, Earth Beast Ranking s with powerful Demon Beast s, high grade martial skills, and high grade pill s could all be purchased.
It was just that even if there was no set rule for Dark City and only strength, no one dared to have any plans for Trading Company of Mu Family, because everyone knew that Castle of Mu Family was behind Trading Company of Mu Family.
Castle of Mu Family was one of the four great forces within the Dark City.
In Dark City where there are no rules, strength is the ruler, but in reality, the biggest rule is strength is the ruler.
Castle of Mu Family was one of the four great forces of the Dark City, and it represented the power that existed within it.
In these past few years, there were no lack of people who had challenged the authority of the Castle of Mu Family, but without question, those people had completely disappeared from the Dark City and never appeared again.
On the side of the Trading Company of Mu Family, there was a rather tattered alley, but it had been cleaned up extremely cleanly and it also emitted an ancient feeling, as if this alley had existed for many years and still stood despite the rain and wind.
On the side of the alleyway, there was a hole that was out of place. Outside the little hut, there was a piece of thick and worn out canvas covering it. It could protect it from wind and rain.
The alleyway was occupied and filled with five or six tables. There was an old lady and her grandson selling tea.
In the morning, only a few people drank tea. There were only two tables, one of them was Du Shaofu who was wearing his cape and the other was Gu Xinyan who was wearing his red gauze that covered his face.
In a place like Dark City, those who wore cloaks, or even disguised themselves, would not be few in number, so no one would find it strange.
No one would come ask for his identity. In any case, the fugitives from various large empires, those who were hiding from enemies, and those who were hiding in the world ? there wouldn't be a small number of them.
At a table far away from them, there seemed to be three big men, who were currently discussing the dirty things from last night in a low voice, but not long later, some extremely rude words came out from their mouths, causing Gu Xinyan's face to flush red from listening to it.
"That's the Trading Company of Mu Family. They will be auctioning it there tomorrow."
Gu Xinyan looked at the magnificent building in front of him and said to Du Shaofu. Beneath the red veil, her red lips slightly opened as she lightly took a sip of tea, and then, the pretty face moved slightly. She was a little surprised, and said: "I never thought that the tea at this small tea stand would actually be so delicious, but the business isn't too good.
Du Shaofu also drank a mouthful of tea. As the fragrance entered his mouth, he said: "It's not some famous tea, but it's very tasty, just that the people within the Dark City are all living a life of licking blood off their blades, I'm afraid not many people would be in the mood to drink tea, naturally their business would be ordinary."
After that, Du Shaofu's gaze fell upon the Trading Company of Mu Family which was located a street away, a clear and bright gaze that did not reveal any fluctuations.
"Have you thought of a way?" Gu Xinyan asked Du Shaofu.
"No, but I'm going to look for someone inside. Hopefully, I'll be able to find one." Du Shaofu said.
"Guests, you forgot to leave the money for the tea."
Just as Du Shaofu was about to leave, he heard a clear voice. A twelve to thirteen year old little boy walked up, and on his round face, two thin eyebrows and a pair of big eyes were paired with a slightly smaller nose.
Du Shaofu thought that the boy was reminding him, but when he turned around, he realised that it was three men who looked like they were in their thirties standing up to leave. It seemed that they forgot to leave behind the money for the tea, hence the little boy chased after him.
"Uncle forgot to bring any change today. I'll give it to you another day, I'll keep it for now."
Seeing the boy catching up, a large man revealed a look of displeasure. With a fierce look in his eyes, he extended his hand to push away the boy who was in front of him. Then, he turned around and left.
"Customer, our tea stand is a small business, there is no credit in it."
The boy took a few steps back. When he saw the fierce look on the man's face, some fear could be seen in his eyes. However, he mustered up his courage and chased after him.
"Stupid brat, go away." The burly man once again pushed away the little boy who had walked forward and pushed him to the ground.
However, the boy took the opportunity to hug the big man's legs without letting go and said, "Customer, we really won't charge you any credit. You have to pay for your tea."
The scene immediately attracted the attention of many people on the streets. Immediately, the alleyway was surrounded by a dense crowd of people.
"He actually doesn't even pay for the tea. His character is really low."
"This grandpa and granddaughter pair depend on each other for their lives, relying on the tea money to survive. There's actually someone who doesn't pay the tea money. This is really going too far."
Looking at the three burly men, although the people walking in the Dark City did not have many good intentions, seeing that there were people who did not even pay for tea for the elderly, women, children, and the weak, bullying the weak and the handicapped, this was also a taboo in the martial arts world, many people's eyes immediately revealed contempt towards the three burly men.
Everyone living nearby knew that this tea stand was managed by an old granny and her grandson, who were toiling away their days of hard work.
That old granny had already lived in this alley for more than ten years. No one could clearly remember exactly how many years she had lived in this alley. That old granny had already lived in this alley for more than ten years.
But with the passage of time, the old woman grew older and older.
Some people even heard that the grandma's grandson was adopted and that he was picked up by a beggar just three or four years old. When the grandma picked him up, he was already on the verge of death, but he was lucky enough to survive.
In the blink of an eye, eighty-nine years had passed. The boy was already twelve to thirteen years old, and he was already able to help the old granny sell tea.
The two of them had always relied on selling tea to survive. Their lives were very bitter, but it was common to see young smiles on the little boy's face.
At this moment, the surrounding onlookers were pointing their fingers at them. The faces of the three men became unsightly.
"Little bastard, get lost!"
The man who was kicked by the boy was enraged. He kicked the boy and sent him flying several meters away. The three of them intended to leave quickly, but with so many onlookers pointing at them, they couldn't stand it.
"You guys have gone too far!"
It was at this moment that an azure figure wearing a cloak made up of color blocked the path of the three large men.
Du Shaofu, who was originally planning to leave as well, couldn't help but ask when he saw the scene in front of him.
Du Shaofu's gaze under the cape looked at the three men and blandly said: "Pay the bill for the tea and apologize to the little boy and pay the medical fees of one thousand cultivation coins before you can leave."
"Are you alright?" Gu Xinyan also arrived beside the boy and helped him up.
"Thank you elder sister, I'm fine."
Hearing Gu Xinyan's voice, the little boy patted off the dust on his plain but clean clothes and determined that she was a young sister. Her bright eyes revealed a sense of intelligence.
"Kid, who are you? Mind your own business. Do you want to die? Scram for me!"
Hearing Du Shaofu's voice, the big sized man thought that Du Shaofu was probably just a young lad, his eyes immediately trembled with a fierce light, and just as he was about to attack, there was no one speaking of benevolence inside the Dark City.
"I've given you a chance. You didn't want it, and even the weak are sad. Leaving your life behind is also a disaster."
When Du Shaofu finished speaking, a fist also strangely landed on the big sized man's chest. The big sized man did not even have time to react, and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Puchi!"
With the spurt of fresh blood, the malevolent looking man did not even have time to let out a scream before he fell limply to the ground. In an instant, he lost all of his vitality as he powerlessly closed his eyes, and finally, fear and regret gushed out from them.
"Please spare my life, milord."
Upon seeing this, the two big fellows around were so frightened that their legs started trembling, and they instantly kneeled on the ground, self-aware that they had met an expert, they were just using Innate Stage, in the eyes of this expert with Dark City, they were probably no different than ants.
"I'll compensate you for the medical expenses, pay for the tea and take the corpse away."
said indifferently. Two Innate Stage Cultivator s were not in the mood to kill, nor did they want to attract too much attention.
Hearing this, the two burly men did not dare to delay any longer. After leaving behind all their cultivation coins, they hurriedly dragged the corpses of their companions and left in a panic, not daring to stay even for a second longer.
"Good kill, that guy deserves to die."
The onlookers did not show any mercy as they watched the man being killed.
