Chapter 93 Grandpa, he is a scumbag
Chapter 93 Grandpa, he is a scumbag
"But I remember that when she told me that she wanted to go to Canaan College, she was still very confident. I think now...she should have met the requirements..."
Father Huck said this.
However, Liu Xi could still clearly hear the unstable tone in his words.
The two of them were silent for a while in the carriage. Liu Xi was tactful enough not to continue the topic, but he felt that a girl with strong independent ability and early understanding would not speak out on such things.
The truth will become clear when we arrive in Wutan City. There is no need to explain it now.
……
The carriage entered from the East Gate.
According to the rules, in a large city like this with high walls and city defense troops stationed there, one needs to pay a certain amount of money to enter the city.
At the city gate, dozens of soldiers in black armor lined up in two rows on the left and right.
There was a bustling flow of people coming in and out.
Wheel and wheel...
The carriage slowed down gradually, and a special person came forward to collect the fee.
Father Huck was just reaching into his arms, feeling out a dozen copper coins and was about to hand them to the toll collector, when unexpectedly, the window pane on one side of the rear carriage opened, and a gold coin that shone brightly in the sunlight was thrown out from inside and thrown at the toll collector.
The toll collector was slightly startled when he received the gold coins, and then he heard a voice from inside the carriage:
"The extra money will be used to supplement this old man."
Hearing this, the toll collector was relieved. He filled a small bag of mixed silver and copper coins and handed it to Father Huck, then walked to the other side to collect the entrance fee from other people.
At the spot, Father Huck was holding the rustling bag of valuables in his arms, looking a little overwhelmed.
"Dad Hake, please accept this little money. It's my travel fare. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your granddaughter who is going to Canaan College soon. Practicing cultivation is very expensive..." Liu Xi said slowly as he sat in the carriage.
Nodding silently, the old man accepted the money and then drove the carriage and asked:
"Where are you getting off, little brother? I'll take you there first."
"Haha, no need. The place I want to go is in the east of the city. I see a girl waiting at the intersection not far ahead, waving at you. She should be your granddaughter, right? I can just get off at that intersection. You don't have to go there, dad." Liu Xi said with a smile.
After hearing this, Father Hake noticed the pretty girl wearing the maid costume of the Miter Auction House at the intersection not far from the city gate.
"Kid, why did you come here to wait for me today?" Father Huck was slightly stunned, and said in surprise and helplessness.
Xilulu~
The carriage slowly stopped.
"Grandpa, you are finally here!"
As soon as the carriage stopped, the young and lovely girl walked quickly forward and approached him in a coquettish manner.
"Dad Hake, you've finally come here, so you and your grandson should have a good reunion. I'm leaving first!" After saying hello, Liu Xi jumped off the carriage with a smile, looked at the girl, and then turned and left.
"Hey~, little brother Liu Xi! Little brother..."
Old Man Huck's elderly voice came from behind, but Liu Xi just waved his hand with his back to him, slowly quickened his pace, and his figure gradually disappeared at the intersection.
"Liu...Liu Xi..., it's... that Liu Xi..."
On the side of the carriage, the girl looked at the not-so-strange figure from behind, a trace of fear and disgust flashed across her eyes, and she opened and closed her little mouth, muttering.
Just a while ago, she had seen this young man at the auction house.
This man was a complete scumbag with a terrible reputation in Wutan City. Not only did he frequent brothels, but it was also said that he had the Gale family kidnap some decent women and send them to him to rape.
Notorious.
Moreover, some time ago, some assassins from the Gale family broke into the Miter Auction House at night and tried to kidnap the auctioneer and the actual person in charge of the auction house, Yafei.
It is so bold and shameless, it is really scary when you think about it!
"Grandpa, I've found a place for you to live. Let's go!" The girl shook her grandfather's arm and said nervously.
The joy of seeing her grandfather was diluted, and now she just wanted to leave here as soon as possible, the farther away from that scum the better.
"Huh? Zhen'er, what's wrong with you? Why is your forehead so sweaty?" Dad Huck asked curiously.
"Oh, Grandpa, let's go, I'll tell you on the way..."
Seeing this, Father Huck was helpless. Although he felt that his granddaughter was a little abnormal, he still nodded.
He let Zhen'er get into the carriage and drove the carriage in the direction he pointed.
……
On the way, Father Huck gradually came to his senses. He said to his granddaughter suspiciously:
"Zhen'er, do you know Brother Liu Xi?"
Inside the car, Zhen'er pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and decided to tell Grandpa the truth:
"Grandpa, that guy just now is a scumbag! If he wasn't an alchemist, he would have been wanted by everyone in Wutan City!"
After spending some time, Zhen'er told her grandfather everything about the rumors about Liu Xi that were rampant in Wutan City some time ago.
After a while, when Zhen'er finished speaking, Father Huck looked incredulous. He shook his head and sighed:
"This guy! You can't judge a person by his appearance! However, after meeting him just now, I feel that he should not be the kind of crazy person..."
"Grandpa! If you ask me, you are just taking advantage of others and being bribed by them with just one gold coin! How long have you been in contact with that scumbag? How can you really see clearly what kind of person he is?" Zhen'er said with a sneer.
"Oh, it's such a pity. You're such a handsome young man, well-spoken, but how...how could you be such a person? I was thinking that since you're an adult now, I could find a chance to bring you together. What a pity..."
Old Man Huck sighed repeatedly.
"grandfather!!!"
After hearing what Father Huck said, Zhen'er couldn't help herself and immediately refused.
Yes, her background was a bit poor, but her other conditions, whether it was her appearance, figure, or talent for cultivation, were all excellent in this Wutan City. Why would her grandfather feel sorry for a scumbag?
-
Walking on the street in the east of Wutan City, Liu Xi calmly took out a badge from his arms and put it on his chest.
On the badge, there is an ancient medicine cauldron with exquisite carvings. On the surface of the cauldron, a striking silver ripple appears on it. Under the dazzling afternoon sunlight, the silver ripple reflects a strange light.
This is the badge of a first-class alchemist.
Wearing this badge and walking in the city, he can reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles. Especially in the city of Wutan, revealing his identity in advance is definitely a wise move for him.
……
After walking for nearly half a quarter of an hour, he arrived in front of a red-painted gate with stone lions standing on both sides.
