"Hahaha, let me lend you some good words."

Xiao Chen laughed.

"This guy is quite good at saying nice things."

Wang Pingbei, who had always had no expression, also smiled.

"If you really gain something, I will reward you heavily."

Xiao Chen looked at the man and said.

"That's great."

The man smiled even thicker. Although he was just talking, but... what if?

"How long have you been working as a boatman here?"

Xiao Chen asked casually.

"It's been three years."

The man replied.

"I used to make a living in the town, but then I followed my brother to the sea... I made more money in the sea than in the town."

"Is there danger at sea?"

Xiao Chen asked again.

"some."

After the man finished speaking, he hesitated.

"Fortunately, the adults I met are all very nice."

"Um?"

Xiao Chen was startled. The risk didn't come from the sea? But from the practitioners?

"My brother went to sea and never came back, leaving behind orphans and widows..."

The man's voice became much deeper.

"Most practitioners won't do anything to them, but not all..."

As a cultivator of Tianwaitian, Wang Pingbei still understands what is going on.

"..."

Xiao Chen fell silent. It turned out to be such a risk.

"You two gentlemen, which direction should we go?"

The man smiled and changed the topic.

Facing powerful practitioners, ordinary people are like ants.

There was nothing they could do but accept their fate.

"Just go in any direction."

Xiao Chen said casually.

"You'd better tell me a direction."

The man said hurriedly.

He didn't dare to look for a random direction, what if he didn't get anything and was blamed?

"Over there."

Xiao Chen pointed in a direction and said.

"Are you from Xuanyuan Town?"

"Yes, our ancestors are here."

The man nodded.

"Then do you know Blacksmith Zhang?"

Xiao Chen looked at the man, he wanted to find out the background of Blacksmith Zhang.

"Tiejiang Zhang? Blacksmith Zhang from the backstreet? Of course I know him."

The man nodded.

"Speaking of which, our two families have some relatives. My grandfather's grandfather is a brother to anyone in his family..."

"oh?"

Xiao Chen has gained some energy and is related to her? Then she should know better, right?

"Tell me about Blacksmith Zhang."

"Tiejiang Zhang is not an ordinary person, and he has a strange temperament..."

The man did not dare to ask further why he was interested in Blacksmith Zhang.

"Listen to my father, Zhang Tiejiang left Xuanyuan Town when he was young... and later came back many years ago."

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen's eyes flashed.

Even Wang Pingbei felt vaguely that something was wrong.

Immediately afterwards, he thought of what Blacksmith Zhang had told them, but when his ancestors left, he came back to return to his roots!

This statement is different from the boatman’s statement!

Who lies?

Most likely it’s the former!

"Then what?"

Xiao Chen remained calm, why did Zhang Tiejiang lie to him?

"Haha, you really asked the right person. My family also lives in a back street. If I didn't have some relatives, I wouldn't be able to understand him."

The man smiled.

"It's said to be Blacksmith Zhang, but he usually only shoots swords... Let's go to South Street to find Blacksmith Tan."

"Blacksmith Tan? There are two blacksmiths in Xuanyuan Town?"

Wang Pingbei asked curiously.

"Yes."

The man nodded.

"Blacksmith Tan buys some daily necessities... Blacksmith Zhang rarely interacts with people in the town, and is only a little familiar with people in the backstreets. However, his disciple often comes out."

"Did his disciple bring him back from outside? Or was he collected in Xuanyuan Town?"

Xiao Chen asked again.

"Not from this town."

The man shook his head.

"He brought it back from outside. I saw it at that time... Oh, by the way, there were three people at that time. I didn't see clearly who the other one was, but there have always been two people on Zhang Tiejiang's side.

I thought many times I was wrong."

"Three people? Two people?"

Xiao Chen's heart moved, who is the other person?

Could it be that he is also the ‘guardian’ mentioned by the Ghost King?

"I heard that Xuanyuan Town has a guardian? Do you know about this?"

Xiao Chen thought for a while and then asked.

"I know, but many people in the town don't believe it. Only a few people think there is a patron saint here."

The man nodded.

"Especially young people don't believe it anymore..."

"The patron saint...is there any legend about it?"

Xiao Chen felt that even if he didn't find anything in the sea during this trip to the sea, it would still be a harvest.

"Well, it's hard to say."

The man hesitated and shook his head.

"Give."

Xiao Chen thought he didn't want to say anything, so he took out a few gold particles.
