Chapter 11 011 Young people travel together, lantern surveillance Chu Ge turned around and saw Wang Xiuyun. She has delicate eyebrows and eyes like a pool of clear water. She has a beautiful face and skin as smooth as jade. It is undeniable that it is easier for wealthy families to produce beauties. However, the other party's sudden arrival was also beyond Chu Ge's expectations. He actually has no feelings for this friend who was almost his childhood sweetheart in his previous incarnation. The reason why he ignores her is that his various habits have changed after traveling through time. Out of self-protection, he actually tried to distance himself as much as possible from anyone he was familiar with in his previous life. Therefore, when Wang Xiuyun mentioned that she had written him a letter in the past, he naturally did not give any response. However, as he was in the host's home at the time, he still had to maintain the necessary politeness for the sake of face. He immediately smiled and said that he was too absorbed in studying martial arts and did not mean to distance himself from him. "You've really changed a lot... It's like you've become a completely different person." Wang Xiuyun looked at Chu Ge's smile, which seemed warm but actually kept a distance. She was a little dazed, then regained her composure.

"You said you were obsessed with martial arts, but have you achieved anything? It's been a few years, you should be close to entering the bone training stage." "This... is almost there." Chu Ge smiled calmly and shook his head. Even Hu Xuezhi didn't know his level of strength, so how could he publicize it casually? This is not about not wanting to be high-profile, but about whether it is necessary. Having lived two lives, he has a mature mind and knows that there is always someone stronger than you. Don't brag in front of others, be careful about what happens in the world, and being reckless will get you nowhere. But to Wang Xiuyun, this sounded like the stubbornness of a young man trying to maintain his dignity. Chu Ge was about to change the subject and ask about spiritual qualifications. At this moment, Wang Youcai approached the two of them with a hearty laugh, and with a heroic look, he pulled Chu Ge to reminisce about the past, calling him his good nephew all the time. Chu Ge had no choice but to pretend to be friendly with him. When asked if he had any business that needed help in transportation, he smiled and something moved. "Uncle Wang, I actually intend to sell off many of my assets in Linyuan City. If you are interested, I am willing to sell them to you!" "Oh?" Wang Youcai was immediately shocked, and on the surface he showed an expression of surprise and regret. He tried to persuade Chu Ge, but in his heart he had already started to quickly think about it. Business is business, not feelings, only money. Wang Youcai appears generous on the surface, but in his heart he feels that this is a huge business opportunity. "You want to sell your property? Will your eldest sister agree?" Wang Xiuyun was surprised and felt that she couldn't understand this person any more. Chu Ge shook his head, "Ever since my sister went to the Hidden Water Sect, the family assets have been inherited by me, so I can dispose of them as I please." Wang Xiuyun was puzzled, "Why do you need so much money?"

Chu Ge did not hide it, "I plan to leave Linyuan City and go to Fucheng like you to pursue martial arts. Practicing martial arts requires a lot of money." Wang Xiuyun was stunned. She didn't want to attack her young playmate for fear of causing misunderstanding. But seeing the other party's high-spirited look at this time, afraid that the other party is too impulsive, he couldn't help but remind him, "Chu Ge, you have to understand that many people have wasted a lot of resources and energy because they misjudged their martial arts talents. Linyuan City is too small. In fact, there are too many martial arts geniuses in the capital city, but they rarely make such a desperate bet. You may need to consider it carefully. " "Hey?" Wang Youcai hurriedly stopped her, "Xiuyun, what are you talking about? Everyone has the right to pursue their dreams..." He didn't want the business to be ruined. At the same time, he has always been accustomed to maintaining superficial harmony. Chu Ge could feel that Wang Xiuyun's advice was actually well-intentioned and had no ill intentions. But he knows his own business and can make his own arrangements, so of course he won't listen. ... Soon, after receiving Wang Youcai's reply that he would seriously consider it, Chu Ge said goodbye politely and left with satisfaction. The main reason he came this time was to sell the assets of Linyuan City. Since Wang Youcai is interested in it, that would be the best. As for the martial arts exchange gathering proposed by Wang Xiuyun, he politely declined. "Brother Chu... has changed so much since he started practicing martial arts, and he has been too closed-minded. Maybe it would be good for him to go out and take a look. When he sobers up, I can persuade him again." Wang Xiuyun looked at Chu Ge's departing back and sighed inwardly, feeling that this martial arts might have harmed Chu Ge. Some people misjudge their own talents and go in the wrong direction, which is like walking into a dead end and wasting their whole life. She vaguely remembered how high-spirited Chu Ge was when she and her friendship was very strong. Later, she walked out of Linyuan City, saw more of the world, and her horizons broadened. When I return and see the young people who have changed so much and become increasingly alienated, I can only sigh and feel regretful. If you want to buy sweet-scented osmanthus with wine, it doesn't seem like you are a teenager. ... Speaking of this. It wasn’t long since we left the Wang family compound. Chu Ge vaguely felt that he was being watched. The strange power in the shadow puppet lantern hanging outside the carriage started to activate on its own, and the yellow paper in his waist bag also began to burn black. "interesting……" Chu Ge's fingers slid across the yellow paper, and his internal strength was immediately consumed. Due to its connection with the shadow puppet lantern, the scene observed by the shadow puppet lantern quickly appeared on the yellow paper. A burning black figure appeared on the yellow paper.

In the southwest. "Uncle Liu, go into the alley." Chu Ge ordered the coachman outside the carriage to get out of the carriage through the window in the alley and track down the person who was observing secretly. Unexpectedly, at the same time, he made a new discovery. When he turned the alley, he saw the figure of the policeman Xiao Qin hiding in the corner of the wall not far away through the car curtain blown open by the wind. "Hmm? The government has already taken notice?" Chu Ge's heart moved, and he suppressed the urge to get off the carriage and track back, allowing the carriage to pass through the alley and turn into another street. At the same time, the feeling of being secretly observed gradually faded, and it was obvious that the snooper had left. "It looks like they are from the Tiandi Xianghuo Sect. The Tiandi Xianghuo Sect's Iron Plate External Envoy has probably noticed that the Thirteen Bandits with the Golden Spear are missing." Chu Ge had some guesses in his mind. Fu Wei, the leader of the Thirteen Golden Spear Bandits, had already made arrangements and reported the action before coming to rob him. Now that the Thirteen Bandits with the Golden Spear are missing, the Iron Plate Envoy will naturally think of him or other wealthy people on the list first. Even if they are not sure whether he killed all his men alone, they will send people to observe him secretly. However, the appearance of the officer Xiao Qin proved that the county yamen officers had begun to focus on the safety of these wealthy businessmen, and any suspicious person who appeared would be targeted. "The strength of this county government is still very strong. It is not just for show. It looks like the city lieutenant is about to take action." Chu Ge thought about it and told the coachman Liu Bo to take a detour and go to his own Fulai Inn. He wanted to hang two shadow puppet lanterns for Fulai Inn personally. Fulai Inn is located in the east of the city, diagonally across the street from the county government office. The four-story building stands much taller than the surrounding buildings, allowing you to stand tall and see far. He only needs to hang a shadow puppet lantern on the rooftop of Fulai Inn to monitor the movements of the county government at any time. In this way, he would be the first to know when the city lieutenant Tian Youji would lead people to encircle and wipe out the stronghold of the Tiandi Xianghuo Sect. Soon, the carriage arrived at Fulai Inn. When they saw it was the boss's carriage, a clever shop assistant immediately stepped forward and offered to serve as the horse stool. Chu Ge casually gave Liu Bo ten copper coins as a reward and asked him to go back. He planned to stay at Fulai Inn for the next few days. Even if the inn was full, the rooms on the top floor were not open to the public. Usually the owner lived there, but now that he, the boss, had come, the owner naturally had to move out and sleep with the waiters. The observation and feedback of the shadow puppet lantern also requires Chu Ge, the operator holding the yellow paper medium, to be in close range. Otherwise, the attraction between the different forces is not without distance limitation, and the connection can be easily broken. ... (End of this chapter)
