Lin Ran smiled but shook his head helplessly without saying anything.
Xu Gu’s matter he always felt unreliable, rather than wait until the Xue family in the delay, it would be better to go and buy herbs for Li Ba to put on first!
…..
The two of them have already entered Xue City as they speak. On top of the walls of Xue City, there are very many soldiers standing guard, so I think they are arranged by the Xue family here.
“See? The guards on the city walls are all Xue family soldiers, in Xue City the Xue family is the sky, when I first came here, the entire Xue family of Xue City was the only one who could say anything!”
Xu Gu laughed proudly, as if this Xue family was his own home.
“According to you, wouldn’t this Xue City be the Xue Family’s back garden!”
Lin Ran laughed lightly.
“That’s natural, with the East Chess King as a big backer, how do you think the Xue Family is able to stand in Xue City!”
Xu Gu laughed.
As the two of them spoke, they had already reached the city, and the streets were full of stalls of all sizes, selling anything and everything.
Lin Ran was a little dazzled by what he saw, but soon he heard some very different chatter.
“Hey hey, have you guys paid your protection fee this month?”
“Why haven’t you paid it! This Xue Cheng’s sky is about to change!”
“Isn’t it! I just paid it to the Xue family two days ago, and today the Mai family’s people are here to collect it!”
“Oh! It’s really hard for us businessmen, the Xue family is getting worse and worse!”
“Yes, if it weren’t for the King of the Eastern Chess still covering them, this Xue City would sooner or later be changed into a Mai City!”
Some of the merchants had no desire to run their stalls and were chatting away.
Xu Gu couldn’t help but blush with embarra*sment as he listened,? After bragging about how the Xue family was doing in this Xue City, he had just entered the city and heard this kind of conversation.
“Go, go ask!”
Lin Ran frowned slightly and spoke.
Xu Gu was taking him to the Xue family, if there was any trouble with this Xue family it would be better for him to find out first, otherwise if he got involved in the struggle between the two great clans out of thin air, it would be more than worth it!
Quickly arriving at the stall, Lin Ran pretended to buy something, looked around and casually picked an item that didn’t look expensive and asked with a smile.
“Boss, how much is this item?”
“A medium-grade spirit stone!”
The boss didn’t have the heart to pay Lin Ran any mind, he had plenty of such small items.
“Here you go!”
Lin Ran didn’t get angry when he saw this, and smiled as he took out a very high quality spirit stone and threw it over.
The boss’s eyes went straight when he saw the extremely high quality spirit stone.
“Boss, I want to ask you something!”
Lin Ran saw his chance coming and smiled busily.
“No, no, you’re the boss you’re the boss, so if you have any questions, just tell me! I’ll tell you everything I know guaranteed!”
The boss was busy laughing, when he ran into a big money spinner like Lin Ran, he wouldn’t dare to offend him, after all, who knew if this guy had any powerful forces behind him.
“Boss, what’s with the Mai family you guys were talking about? Isn’t this Xue City the domain of the Xue family?”
Lin Ran didn’t bother with nonsense and asked directly.
The boss was stunned at his words, and then said.
“Young man, this is your first time coming to our Xue City!”
Lin Ran nodded at his words, and did not deny it.
“Then that’s it!”
The boss saw this and continued.
“This Xue City, ah, used to be the domain of the Xue family, but in recent years, the younger section of the Xue family has been failing more and more, and nowadays, the Xue family doesn’t even have a single male, and only has a single female doll!”
“On the other hand, the Mai family has seen a constant influx of strong youngsters in recent years, as the saying goes, if the youngsters are strong, there is hope!”
“Nowadays, the Mai family is getting more and more arrogant in this Xue City, if the Xue family didn’t still have the backing of the Eastern Chess King, I’m afraid that this Xue City would have been renamed Mai City long ago!”
Lin Ran smiled, nodded and got up, and left the place with Xu Gu.
Xu Gu also heard the conversation between the two just now and couldn’t help but swallow his spit, his heart somewhat drummed.
“Are we still going to the Xue family?”
He turned his head to look at Lin Ran and asked.
“You’re the one who brought me here you ask me?”
Lin Ran gave him a white glance without good humour before saying.
“A thin camel is bigger than a horse, and we’re just here to borrow a room, we’ll leave when we’re healed!”
“That’s true!”
Xu Gu nodded at his words.
Lin Ran didn’t bother talking to him, and asked where the nearest herbarium was, and immediately rushed over there.
In the Immortal World, herbal resources were very abundant, but most of these herbs ended up being bought up by alchemists.
Because the way of physicians in the Immortal World was almost cut off, alchemists became the centralised buying power of herbs.
When the two arrived outside the herb hall, they looked around and saw that most of the people who came here to buy were wearing the clothes of alchemists, except that these people’s alchemist robes seemed to be inferior to Xu Gu’s, thinking that they were afraid that their alchemy level was not as good as his!
And apart from these people, the rest were people who appeared to be the underlings of some alchemists, coming to buy herbs!
There were two stalls in the entire herb hall, but what puzzled Lin Ran was that one of them was lined with people, but the other one had only one person in front of it! And it was a woman.
“Let’s go!”
Lin Ran didn’t think much about it, and with a greeting, he walked towards the woman’s back, Li Ba’s condition wasn’t too serious though, and he didn’t want to stay much longer as he might get the herbs sooner.
However, just as Lin Ran was leading Xu Gu over towards where the woman was.
On the other side of the crowd that was lined up with people, there was a murmur of voices.
“Hey hey! Look at that kid looking for death!”
“I think it’s 80%, but this kid is so fresh-faced and ruthless, I’m afraid he’s just come to our Xue City!”
“Should we warn him then? If he dares to get in line behind Missy, he’s looking for death!”
“I’ve heard that Mai Yang will be here soon, so we might have a good show later!”
“Mai Yang? That’s true!”
The crowd was talking, but none of them really came up to remind Lin Ran.
Lin Ran didn’t know anything at the moment, and soon he had reached behind the woman.
The woman was dressed in white, and her back seemed to be about the same age as herself.
Sensing someone coming from behind her, the woman turned her head and looked over.
When Lin Ran saw the woman’s face he couldn’t help but be struck by the fact that the woman was actually born with a great deal of grace.
If Qiu Mo was the kind of woman who was breathtakingly beautiful, then the woman in white in front of him was definitely an existence with an extraordinary temperament.
One was a mortal beauty, while the other was a fairy who had fallen into the world.
“Aren’t you afraid?”
The woman looked at Lin Ran and asked for no reason.
“Afraid of what? If you’re not buying medicine please also bother to move aside!”
Lin Ran said.
Although this woman was pretty, he had already gotten used to it and at this moment, his heart just wanted to buy herbs as soon as possible!
“Ao!”
When the woman saw that Lin Ran actually did not have any fear towards himself, and did not even lose his composure at the sight of his own appearance, she could not help but be very curious about him in her heart.
In this Xue City, she really hadn’t seen a young man from the younger generation who could remain so calm when he saw himself.
As the woman spoke, she had already turned around and went on to buy herbs.
Lin Ran also felt a little puzzled, but seeing that he would soon be able to buy herbs, he didn’t think too much about it.
However, while he was waiting patiently, suddenly there was a noise from outside the herb hall, followed by a large group of people pouring in.
