Capítulo 1782: Chapter 1781: The Secret of the Ancient Remnants Tribe Exposed
Du Xiaozhuang lives at the back of the ancient town.
The house is sowhat shabby, just a small courtyard.
He resides together with his wife, Li Wen.
The couple also has a child, but that child is always wrapped up and never seen by others.
Xu Zii knows that children of the Ancient Remnants Tribe have black curse marks on their faces from birth.
These curse marks are very special, almost a symbol of the Ancient Remnants Tribe’s identity, and cannot be concealed.
Only as the child grows and the curse mark matures does it eventually turn into power, rging into the body of the Ancient Remnants Tribe.
The child certainly doesn’t dare to et people during this ti.
Upon seeing a stranger in the house, his wife Li Wen seems a bit surprised.
The Ancient Remnants Tribe does not entertain outsiders.
After all, they hide their identities and are afraid of being discovered.
Du Xiaozhuang waved at him and said with a smile, “Go make so dishes, I’ll have a couple of drinks with our benefactor.”
He pulled Xu Zii into the inner room, which was specifically for guests, and had not been occupied for a long ti.
Du Xiaozhuang quickly cleaned the room with agile movents.
He said with a smile, “I am soone who distinguishes clearly between gratitude and grudges. Since you have helped , stay here and heal your injuries before leaving.”
“It’s really nothing serious,” Xu Zii shook his head.
In the midst of speaking, he coughed and spat a few mouthfuls of blood.
“That’s hardly nothing,” Du Xiaozhuang quickly said.
“In this day and age, it’s rare to find good people like you. I’ll go to the town later and find soone to take a look at you.”
“There’s really no need, why spend that money? I have a family passed down Cultivation Technique that allows to heal with so rest,” Xu Zii insisted, shaking his head.
Du Xiaozhuang’s wife, Li Wen, was also quite adept, and soon prepared a large table of dishes.
It was evident that Du Xiaozhuang’s household was not well-off.
These dishes were probably enough for them for three days, yet now they made them all for Xu Zii.
Du Xiaozhuang also opened a good bottle of wine.
He laughed and said, “Don’t be fooled by my selling tea, it’s actually wine that I truly love.”
Xu Zii chuckled.
The few of them chatted while eating.
Xu Zii was in no hurry; trust needed to be built initially so that he could pave the way for the future.
After all, he had plenty of ti.
anwhile, his physical body was using the Teleportation Array to head towards the Yao Pond, and who knew how long that would take.
The Kun Ruins Domain is a vast distance of thousands of miles from the Cangxuan Realm, as if two worlds apart.
…….
“Brother Xu, where are you from?” Du Xiaozhuang, having had so wine, loosened up and asked.
“I’m a Loose Cultivator, at ho wherever I am,” Xu Zii laughed.
“I have no fixed abode, no specific place to call ho.”
“Loose Cultivators have it rough. Look at those from the big powers, they get ample cultivating resources without lifting a finger,” Du Xiaozhuang empathetically said.
Over the al, the two had beco quite familiar with each other.
After the al, while Li Wen was cleaning up the dishes, Xu Zii took out a substantial amount of Spirit Stones.
Du Xiaozhuang and his wife’s eyes widened in astonishnt as they had never seen so many Spirit Stones in their lives.
They promptly asked, “What does Brother Xu an by this?”
“Since we now call each other brothers, I’ll speak frankly.
Staying here with you for a while, I can see that Brother Du’s household isn’t well-off.
But as for , though my skills are poor, I have accumulated so wealth from wandering around.”
Xu Zii explained candidly.
“Money is just a tool; we can earn more after spending it.
I’m offering this money so we can eat better during this ti.”
“I can’t possibly accept such a gesture; it’s just another pair of chopsticks,” Du Xiaozhuang, though tempted, still refused.
“So you’re not considering a brother?” Xu Zii feigned anger.
He gestured towards the house.
“Even if you don’t consider yourselves, think about your child.
Consider this money as my gift to my nephew.”
The couple hesitated for a while, but seeing Xu Zii’s steadfast attitude, Du Xiaozhuang had to accept it.
“Brother Xu, I accept you as my brother.”
…….
In the evening, Xu Zii was resting in the room.
Bai ng’s figure appeared stealthily out of nowhere.
“How did the investigation go?” Xu Zii asked.
“I’ve scoured everything; there are one thousand two hundred people on the surface in this ancient town, and the Ancient Remnants Tribe comprises three hundred and twelve of them,” Bai ng replied.
“Of course, these are just the surface numbers.
I was careful not to alert them, so I didn’t stir up any trouble.”
“Just over three hundred people, is that all that’s left of the Ancient Remnants Tribe?” Xu Zii muttered to himself.
“Who is the strongest among them?”
“It’s just soone at the God Realm,” Bai ng replied.
“That’s intriguing, either we’re misunderstanding the Ancient Remnants Tribe, or they are deeply concealing their strength,” Xu Zii speculated with a smile.
“I lean towards the latter,” Bai ng replied.
“This Ancient Remnants Tribe holds significant ambitions, and this ti we must uproot them entirely.”
Xu Zii nodded.
He said, “Let inquire more from Du Xiaozhuang here, see if the matters concerning the Ancient Remnants Tribe are known only to a few.
Or if the common tribespeople are aware of so of it.”
…….
The night passed without words, and early the next morning,
Du Xiaozhuang had already set up his stall early, preparing to sell tea.
This tea selling is an all-day affair, especially busy during the sumr.
These days are the annual market days in the ancient town, and Du Xiaozhuang hoped to earn a little more.
Usually, business isn’t this good.
Before leaving, Xu Zii ca over.
“Brother Xu, you’re injured, why are you up so early,” Du Xiaozhuang quickly asked.
“Brother Du is going to set up the stall,” Xu Zii took out a large pack of tea leaves.
These were cultivated by him using Spiritual Energy.
It’s not considered a great skill.
But for soone like Du Xiaozhuang, this tea was akin to treasure.
Only to hear Xu Zii say, “When you brew tea, just add this pack of tea leaves to it.
Each cup of tea could fetch a Spirit Stone.”
Du Xiaozhuang was startled, “Is there anyone who would buy it?”
“There surely will be; it’s a type of Spiritual Tea I ca upon, and it’s of no use to , so I’m gifting it to you,” Xu Zii replied.
Du Xiaozhuang chuckled a little clumsily.
He wasn’t soone very good with words, but he rembered Xu Zii’s kindness.
…
In the following days, Xu Zii stayed here.
Because he occasionally took out small items and had seen a lot,
Du Xiaozhuang and his wife gradually began to regard Xu Zii as their pillar of support.
One day, when the couple returned ho after closing their stall,
they discovered Xu Zii in their room.
The child was still in their room, where outsiders weren’t normally allowed.
Their faces changed drastically; the secret of the Ancient Remnants Tribe couldn’t be hidden anymore.
As they rushed in, they saw Xu Zii holding the child, who was sleeping soundly on his shoulder.
Seeing Xu Zii without malice, the couple breathed a sigh of relief.
“Brother Xu, shall we chat outside?” Du Xiaozhuang asked.
Xu Zii nodded.
Li Wen cautiously took the child.
Xu Zii and Du Xiaozhuang went out into the courtyard, Du Xiaozhuang let out a sigh.
“I didn’t an to keep it from you.”
“I believe Brother Du has his reasons; the Ancient Remnants Tribe is indeed rarely seen,” Xu Zii nodded.
