Lin Chuan was walking on the streets of Qingping County, leading his white horse. It was breakfast time, and the cries of vendors were heard incessantly.

"Spinach, cheap! Two pounds for one penny!!!"

"Steamed buns, four for one penny, hehe!!!"

……

Selling buns, freshly baked buns, two for one penny!!!

Looking at the steaming buns, Lin Chuan's stomach growled, "Boss, give me two buns."

"Okay, sir, please take it and be careful of the heat." The boss reminded considerately.

So, Lin Chuan started to pay and opened the storage bag given by Xu Hanyi. He found that it was full of gold, silver and jewelry, but no copper coins at all.

Lin Chuan: ...

Looking at Lin Chuan standing there in a daze, the boss thought to himself, is this guy a freeloader? It shouldn't be possible, he's so handsome, so clean, and the satin he uses for his clothes doesn't look like that of ordinary people.

"Sir, you forgot to bring money. If you really forgot, then consider this meal as your treat." After much deliberation, the boss decided to do him a favor. After all, based on his twenty years of experience selling buns, he knew they were definitely wealthy. If not, then consider it a good deed.

Feeling that the merchant had mistaken him for a free meal, Lin Chuan quickly explained, "That's not the case. I just have a large amount of money on me, and I'm worried the boss won't be able to cash it."

"Hey! Sir, why do you look down on me? I have been selling buns for 20 years, and there is still no money that I cannot cash out!" The bun shop owner said with a look of dissatisfaction.

Lin Chuan silently placed a gold brick in front of the bun shop owner and said, "Here, here you go. You exchange it for me."

Baozi shop owner:...

"Ouch, I made a mistake. Sir, please put it away quickly. I can't open this big thing here."

"It's okay, I'm in a good mood, I'll give it to you." Lin Chuan looked proud. There's nothing we can do, we have money and we can do whatever we want.

However, the shop owner was not grateful. Instead, he pushed the gold brick back anxiously. "Sir, please don't embarrass me. There are so many people watching. If I accept your gold brick today, I'm afraid my whole family and this shop will be burned to ashes tomorrow."

As the saying goes, a common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think it through properly," Lin Chuan apologized.

In fact, whether in Qingluan Continent or Blue Star, human nature has always remained unchanged. Big people have their own splendor, and small people have their own way of living.

"It's okay, it's okay. Consider this a treat for you." The bun shop owner waved his hand hurriedly.

"Then thank you boss."

"Oh, right, Boss," Lin Chuan seemed to remember something and asked hurriedly, "I want to know if anyone has disappeared here recently?"

There was a sudden silence all around, and the hawkers' cries seemed to become much quieter.

The bun shop owner pulled Lin Chuan to a corner and said, "My dear, you are from another place, right? We have good weather and good harvests every year here. It's great. After you finish your buns, go back to where you came from. Don't stay here overnight!"

After saying that, the bun shop owner let go of Lin Chuan and continued to sell his buns, leaving Lin Chuan frowning secretly, thinking about something.

"Boss, thank you for the buns. I'm leaving now." After thinking fruitlessly, Lin Chuan decided to go somewhere else.

"Okay, sir, take care and remember to go back early!" the boss reminded.

When I passed by the owner of the bun shop, he felt something extra in his pocket. He reached in and touched it. It was round and smooth. No need to guess, it must be worth a lot of money.

"This kid is not a bad person. I hope he can listen to my advice."

……

Lin Chuan walked out of the bun shop and left the street in a blink of an eye. He walked around and came to a suburb.

Lin Chuan suddenly stopped, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. He slowly turned around and faced the deserted wilderness behind him.

"Come out! Aren't you tired after following me for so long?" His voice was low and calm, but it carried an authority and confidence that could not be ignored.

His gaze was like a torch, as if it could penetrate the darkness and fall directly on the person hidden in the shadows. His sword-like eyebrows were slightly raised, revealing a sense of provocation.

There was complete silence all around, with only the rustling of leaves in the breeze. However, within this silence, there seemed to be a tense atmosphere spreading, as if a battle was brewing.

"Swish!!!" A sharp arrow shot towards Lin Chuan.

"Duang!!!" A black and white light flashed across Lin Chuan's body, and the arrow immediately exploded and fell to the ground, but Lin Chuan stood there unharmed.

"Starry night." Lin Chuan called softly.

The person who attacked in the dark was suddenly panicked. Just as he was about to escape, he saw a black light appear in front of him. The next second, he lost consciousness and his body was separated.

Looking at the corpse on the ground, Lin Chuan let out a cold smile. He pulled out a tinder from his pocket and blew gently, sending flames flying. He threw the tinder onto the corpse, and the flames spread rapidly, engulfing the body in the blink of an eye. The raging fire burned, making crackling sounds, as if telling a story.

Lin Chuan stood quietly by, watching all this with indifference. He knew that doing so would eliminate some unnecessary trouble, but it would also plunge him into a deeper mystery. Who sent this person? Why did they attack him? A series of questions flooded his mind, leaving him confused and uneasy.

However, Lin Chuan didn't let these questions bother him for long. He took a deep breath, and a glint of determination flashed in his eyes. He decided to return to the county town and continue searching for clues about the missing persons.

"Well, things seem to be getting interesting." Lin Chuan muttered to himself with a slight upward curve of his lips.

As it was getting dark, Lin Chuan decided to find a place to exchange some silver first, otherwise he would have no way to spend the big gold brick.

"Boss, please change some silver for me." Lin Chuan walked into a money shop calmly and placed a crystal clear gem on the counter.

"Okay, boss, please wait a moment." The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly took the gem and looked at it carefully, then said with a smile: "Boss, please sit down first, I'll help you right away." After that, he turned around and walked quickly towards the inner room.

After a while, the shopkeeper came out with a smile on his face. "Boss, here are the silver notes you exchanged. They're worth three hundred thousand taels. After deducting the handling fee, the total is two hundred and ninety-nine thousand eight hundred taels."

"Yeah." Lin Chuan nodded, reached out to take the silver note handed to him by the shopkeeper, took a careful look at it, then stood up and left the bank.

"Have a nice trip, boss." The shopkeeper bowed and saw him off, and did not stand up until Lin Chuan disappeared from his sight.

……

Tianjian Peak.

Xu Hanyi lazily lay on the soft couch. Ever since her young disciple left for training, she was the only one left on the vast Tianjian Peak.

"I don't know if Lin Chuan has arrived in Qingping County." A hint of worry flashed in Xu Hanyi's eyes.
