Another World: How to Practice Without Spiritual Energy
Chapter 36 Little Guard
"Yes, we are going to Nice City. May I ask what level of occupation you are?" The visitor looked at the delicate and tender Chen Xian and asked with some confusion.
"I don't have any rank, I just have great strength." Chen Xian said sincerely.
The girl who heard the conversation glanced at Chen Xian. Seeing that he had an elegant temperament and did not look like a bodyguard at all, but rather like a young master from a wealthy family, she glared at him, snorted coldly, and went back to the inner room.
When the old butler heard that there was no rank, he was speechless, "Go away, young master from which family? Come to us to find a rank..."
Before the housekeeper finished speaking, Chen Xian raised with one hand the more than 2-meter-tall stone lion at the entrance of the town.
"Friend, come and be our guard, I'll give you 30 gold coins."
"I'll give you 35..."
……
Everyone was amazed by Chen Xian's strength. Even a guardian knight with level 3 strength might not be able to lift this huge stone lion, so they all tried to recruit Chen Xian.
Chen Xian rejected everyone and returned to the old housekeeper and said, "How about it? I think I can do it."
The old butler hesitated, held up two fingers and said, "Yes, yes, but we can only afford 2 gold coins, you can't ask for more money later."
Chen Xian grasped the old housekeeper's outstretched hand and said, "Don't worry, the most important thing in doing business is integrity. If you want to take care of the food for my cats and dogs, I will definitely protect you."
Although the old butler was puzzled as to why a guard would bring cats and dogs with him, he did not pursue the matter. After all, how much food could a cat and dog have? So he nodded.
"That's no problem. Let me go inside and meet our boss."
Chen Xian followed the butler and lifted the door curtain to go in. Inside sat a beautiful woman with long black hair, graceful eyebrows, soft eyes, wearing a veil and a green oriental long skirt.
"Miss, this warrior has accepted the mission of protecting us." The old butler saluted to the girl.
The girl, with her beautiful eyes behind her veil, stared at Chen Xian, looking him up and down.
Even though Chen Xian was thick-skinned, he couldn't resist the girl's tender gaze.
"Miss, is there something wrong with me?" Chen Xian spread out his hands and smelled his body. Apart from the scent of the bath, he did not smell any other strange smell.
"You are not a bodyguard, what is your purpose here?" The girl's eyes were still as gentle as water, and her tone, which should have been a question, was also soft and gentle, without any anger at all.
When Chen Xian heard the girl's voice, he was a little surprised. The voice was clean and ethereal, without any worldly air, just like a fairy.
"I want to go to Nice City and need someone to lead the way. You guys just happened to be going there too, and the housekeeper said he would provide food for our cats and dogs, so I came." Chen Xian picked up the steamed buns and steamed buns in each hand and showed them to the girl.
The girl took a look at the cute buns and steamed buns, nodded and said: "People who love cats and dogs must also be people with love in their hearts. Then our safety on this journey is in your hands. My name is Tang Xianer, what is the name of a warrior?"
"Dongri, Dongri who means the sun rises in the east. This cat is called Baozi and you can touch it. This dog is called Mantou and you should not touch him because he will bite you." Dongri reminded solemnly.
The girl withdrew her hand that was reaching for the steamed bun, and the steamed bun began to grin, revealing its sharp teeth.
"Pack up and we'll start our journey now." The girl was a little anxious.
"I'm available anytime." Chen Xian spread out his hands, showing that this was all he had on.
The girl looked at the ring in Chen Xian's hand, and understood what was going on. She tightened the ring on her slender finger in her sleeve. Then she arranged for the coachman to load some furs, herbs and other groceries onto the carriage, and then five or six carriages left the town.
In a remote corner of the town, a man with a hood on his head stared at the carriage leaving the town, then picked up a jade tablet and said to the tablet, "The prey has set off." After saying that, he mounted his horse and followed from a distance.
Chen Xian and the old butler sat at the front of the carriage where the girl was riding. The butler acted as the driver of the two carriages, while Chen Xian chatted with the old butler on the side: "How is the profit of your fur and herbal medicine business?"
The old butler answered as he drove the car, "Look at the big caravans that came to the town before. The competition is too fierce now. The cargo was good this time, but we encountered a beast tide. The guards hired by the store were all in a hurry. This trip is basically just to break even."
"And our master..."
"Cough cough..."
The girl in the carriage spoke up to stop the butler from continuing.
"Sir Dongri, you just need to get me there safely. You don't need to ask for anything else." The girl's leisurely voice came from the carriage.
Chen Xian said to the carriage, "Miss Xian'er, you may not know this. I am just curious why someone is eyeing our worthless cargo, so I want to understand the situation first. This will help me deal with it when we enter the valley ahead."
"What did you say? Is there anyone who is concerned about our team?" The girl's voice in the carriage was obviously a little nervous, but she didn't seem to be very surprised.
"Mr. Dongri, have you discovered anything?" The butler observed the dense forests on both sides of the road with a serious face.
"When we were leaving the town, there was a man and a horse following us from a distance. I think if they wanted to target our team, they would attack in the valley ahead. That would be the most suitable place for an ambush. I hope you can tell me honestly whether your store has any enemies." Chen Xian was not nervous at all. He guessed the ambush point as if he was chatting normally.
"What? Since you knew there was an ambush point in the canyon, why didn't you remind us earlier? We could have just taken a detour at the previous fork in the road." The butler questioned Chen Xian with some blame.
"Take a detour? Wouldn't that mean I'll have to walk for an extra half a month? I have an appointment with someone and need to get to Nice City as soon as possible. Taking a detour is not my style." Chen Xian glanced at the butler and said arrogantly.
"Master Dongri seems to be very confident in his own strength. In that case, Uncle Zhong, you should tell him about the situation of those people who may be harmful to us," the girl instructed the old butler in a normal tone.
Tang's Trading Company was originally a medium-sized chamber of commerce in Nice City. The owner was Tang Xian'er's father, Tang Wan. A year ago, Tang Wan fell ill and was bedridden. At that time, many of Tang's original partners began to cut off cooperation. In less than half a year, only the old brands remained among the original 20 shops of the trading company. Fortunately, Tang Xian'er came back to manage the old brands, which allowed them to be preserved. Although she has a good business sense, her strength is only one-tenth of the original strength. It is not a problem to support the whole family. Moreover, last month, a large number of goods sold had problems, and buyers collectively claimed compensation. Originally, they were going to go bankrupt, but the young owner of Max Chamber of Commerce helped to guarantee the crisis, so they owed a huge debt to Max Chamber of Commerce. Max Young Owner wanted to marry Tang Xian'er to forgive the debt.
Tang Xian'er refused and decided to go to the Warcraft Forest to collect a batch of goods in person to repay her debts. However, she encountered a Warcraft riot and all her guards were killed. They speculated at the time that it might be arranged by Young Master Max.
Chen Xian learned the whole story and found out that it was related to his old rival, Max Chamber of Commerce. He decided to collect some of the interest first.
"Uncle Zhong, how strong is the Max Chamber of Commerce?" A cold light flashed in Chen Xian's eyes.
"They were originally a first-class chamber of commerce in the empire. A few months ago, they held a grand auction with an exclusive recovery potion, which was said to be able to instantly restore magic power and fighting spirit. It attracted many masters in the empire to come, and now their strength is even greater." The old butler said with some fear.
"Then you are really bold. Since you have such a strong opponent, why did you choose a guard like me who has no rank? Don't tell me that you don't have enough money. If you are counting on making a profit in one go, you can't be unable to afford the guard."
Chen Xian directly pointed out the key point.
The old butler and Tang Xian'er in the car were both silent. They didn't expect that Chen Xian could see the problem at once.
"How about this, Miss Tang, you might as well agree to Master Max, then we'll be relatives. Maybe later, they will help escort us back to Nice City. Fighting and killing is never a good thing, right?" Chen Xian joked with interest.
Tang Xian'er in the carriage stretched out her slender jade hand and pulled open the curtain. There was a hint of anger in her gentle and calm eyes.
"If you are afraid, Master Dongri, you can leave now. Our contract will be automatically terminated and I will not blame you. But if you want me to compromise with that scum of Master Max, I will not agree to it even if I die."
Tang Xian'er's eyes were firm, revealing a sense of determination.
"Okay, but Miss Xian'er, we are acquainted. I will keep this dog. Just give him enough food and shelter. I will leave first. I hate fighting and killing the most."
Chen Xian left the steamed buns on the carriage, and he jumped off the carriage holding the buns, waving goodbye to the housekeeper and Tang Xian'er.
The housekeeper remained silent. Tang Xian'er gnashed her teeth and said, "Don't you care about your dog's life?"
"Look at this lazy dog, it's still sleeping soundly. If it's destined, then that's its fate and it can't be forced. What if my guess is wrong? If you guys arrive safely, won't it have a stable life?"
After Chen Xian finished speaking, he walked away.
"Miss, I don't think what he said is true. Maybe he regrets it and thinks our commission is too little, so he is looking for an excuse to leave. If I take a detour, I am worried that it will waste time and my boss's illness will not be able to bear it after I return."
The old housekeeper persuaded Tang Xianer.
Tang Xian'er thought for a moment and it seemed that she had no choice but to move on. At worst, she would just do as Chen Xian said and agree to the other party's request, go back and cure her father's illness first.
