Ordinary people can also be extraordinary

Two days later, it was time for Sima Feng to return to the sect. Zhang Chen and Sima Feng went to the sect together. After Sima Feng returned to the sect, Zhang Chen decided to go see his parents.

"Brother, remember what I said. If anyone asks you about me, you should say that you didn't see me and don't know anything about me. You should also pretend to be surprised when you hear about me from the sect. Also, if I ask you to buy elixirs or other things, you should ask Wang Dong to buy them for you. This way you won't arouse suspicion. Also, if you encounter provocations from Xiao Yi and the others, you must be patient and don't get into a conflict."

Zhang Chen began to give instructions to Sima Feng. Sima Feng had a straightforward personality and Zhang Chen was really worried that he could not control himself, especially since he now had tens of thousands of spirit stones in his storage bag. If he was not careful, it would attract other people's attention.

Sima Feng nodded and said to Zhang Chen:

"Do not worry."

Ten days later, the two arrived at Sunset City in Hedong County, and they began to separate. Sima Feng went towards the sect, and Zhang Chen went home.

Walking along the familiar street, Zhang Chen was getting closer and closer to the house where his parents lived, but his heart began to get nervous. It had been several years since he last saw his parents, and he wondered how they were doing.

Soon Zhang Chen arrived at the house where his parents lived. He saw that the front door of the house had fallen to one side, obviously having been violently knocked open. There was also a loud noise coming from the house.

Zhang Chen's face changed and he rushed in immediately, just in time to see a dozen men dressed as servants, each holding a long stick, guarding a man wearing a brocade robe and with a face full of flesh.

The man was sitting on a chair, drinking tea and looking at the couple opposite him. They were Zhang Chen's parents. He said impatiently:

"Old man, don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit. My patience is limited."

Everyone noticed Zhang Chen coming in, but Zhang Chen was worried about being recognized, so he kept disguising himself. Therefore, his parents did not recognize him. The others did not take Zhang Chen seriously. Seeing that his parents were at ease, Zhang Chen also felt relieved.

"We have said many times that we will not sell this house."

Zhang Chen's father looked at the man, still a little scared, and held Zhang Chen's mother's hand tightly and spoke firmly.

The man in brocade robe seemed to have run out of patience when he heard this. He winked at the servant behind him, and soon a servant came forward with a stick, pointing at Zhang Chen's parents and threatening:

"Since you don't appreciate our kindness, then you can try the power of my stick."

After saying that, he picked up the stick and walked towards Zhang Chen's parents.

"My son is an immortal master. If you dare to do this to us, he will definitely punish you when he comes back."

Zhang Chen's mother looked at the man who was about to take action, her expression panicked, and she quickly started talking.

"Master? What master? You must be getting old and confused, hahaha..."

The man smiled, with a fierce look in his eyes, and was about to move forward when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his neck, and then his eyes went black and he passed out.

The man in brocade robe's eyelids twitched when he heard Zhang Chen's mother say the word "immortal master". Most people don't know this, but as the county magistrate's steward, he has heard of it. He wanted to stop the servant and ask Zhang Chen's parents for clarification.

But he saw that the servant suddenly trembled, and then fell straight down. Everyone was surprised and looked at Zhang Chen's parents, thinking that they had done something, but looking at their expressions, they seemed to be surprised as well.

Then the servants fell one after another, and soon only the man in brocade robe was left. The man looked terrified at this time, looking at all the servants who had fallen to the ground, obviously not knowing what had happened. The inexplicable fear made him unable to control his desire to escape from here, but he had not taken a few steps before he felt a sharp pain in his neck and then lost consciousness.

Zhang Chen put away his raised hand and walked towards his parents. Looking at the familiar figure, Zhang Chen's father called out tentatively:

"Chen'er?"

Zhang Chen took off his disguise, revealing his handsome face. He quickly walked to his parents, looked at them affectionately and said:

"Father, Mother, it's me."

"It's really you."

Zhang Chen's parents exclaimed in surprise and hurried forward to take a look.

"It's higher and stronger."

Zhang Chen's mother touched Zhang Chen's face, pinched Zhang Chen's shoulders, and spoke happily.

"Father, Mother, what's going on? Why are they bothering you?"

Zhang Chen pointed at the people who had fainted in the yard.

"Alas, wasn't there a war a few years ago? The imperial court collected taxes, and the people in the city were living in poverty. Your father took out money to help some neighbors, and somehow he was targeted by others. He came to cause trouble every now and then. Your father also gave money, but those people never stopped, and each time they went further than the last."

Zhang Chen's mother told him what had happened recently.

"Where's Li Qian? I asked him to take care of you, but he didn't show up?"

Zhang Chen asked, Li Qian is a wealthy businessman in the city and should be very familiar with those officials, so why would he let others cause trouble to his parents?

"He helped before, but now he can't protect himself. Chen'er, now that you're back, you can go help him."

Zhang Chen's father spoke to Zhang Chen.

"Who is causing trouble for us?"

Zhang Chen's face was gloomy, and murderous intent was rising in his heart.

"Aren't they just the rich and powerful people in the city?"

Zhang Chen's mother looked annoyed after she finished speaking, and it seemed that she had been bullied a lot recently.

"Hmph, looking for death."

Zhang Chen snorted coldly.

"Chen'er, forget it. Those people are all big shots in the city. Let's not cause trouble for them. You won't be here by then, and your mother and I..."

Zhang Chen's father hesitated to speak. He had never seen the world in his life. Although he knew that his son had a promising future, he was still unsure and did not dare to offend those people.

"Don't worry, father. I know what I am doing. You don't have to worry. I don't take those guys seriously."

Zhang Chen looked at the dozen people lying on the ground and threw them out of the door one by one. Zhang Chen was well-controlled and those people only had broken arms and legs. However, when it was the turn of the man in brocade robe, Zhang Chen used a little force and made him fall to the ground and die.

"Father, Mother, pack your things. I'm going to go out for a while. I'll take you away from here when I come back."

Zhang Chen said something to his parents who were following behind him, then left home and headed towards Li Qian's residence.

Soon Zhang Chen arrived at Li Qian's mansion. The door was wide open, so Zhang Chen walked straight in. There were very few maids and servants in the mansion, so it looked a bit deserted and desolate.

Zhang Chen grabbed a maid who was passing by and found out that Li Qian was in the backyard, so he walked over.

I happened to see Li Qian standing in a pavilion in the backyard, sitting at a stone table and sighing.

"Uncle Li, long time no see."

Zhang Chen's faint voice came over, which made Li Qian jump. He turned around and saw Zhang Chen, his face full of surprise and his eyes flashed with brilliance.
