The Demon King's heir
CHAPTRE. 31 - WUJIE CITY
Wujie city, south.
”You know? Lately, there are often dozens of scorpions in each house. Ever since Lun's family was killed by someone, the residence has turned into a den of poisonous scorpions.”.
”Yes, I heard it too. There are many villagers who were stung by them and then died within a few days only.”
”Those from the Lun family, he said could not be affected by any poison. They were also extremely powerful even barely matching the Shin family! You know that, right? The family that died 21 years ago! He said, they have the same intention as them that is, to rule the small territory that is here!”
”Don't hear!” said Shin Yixuan who saw Shu Ye so attentive to the conversation of the villagers who were gathering at a restaurant. Long ago, he knew that Shu Ye was from the Lun family that Luo Hein had destroyed 11 years ago. Even so, Shu Ye had never visited her own residence since she had lived in the Xieyu hill for quite a long time.
Shu Ye directly lowered his head and said, ”I only think of visiting their residence once in a while. He said no one dared to enter their residence when the murder occurred and even his body was left to disintegrate with the ground.”
Shin Yixuan looked at him and watched him for a while. Quickly, he instantly distracted her and replied, ”You better not go there. That's too dangerous for you.”
Shu Ye was stunned and immediately looked at him as Shin Yixuan had turned around and visited a shop that was next to her. Meanwhile, Shu Ye only accompanied him to buy groceries. However, the thought of visiting the Lun family's residence came when it sounded the voice of someone who was like he was inviting her.
”Can this thing buy something here?” shin Yixuan asked a merchant while showing a glowing round object previously given by Shin Buyen.
A few seconds later, the merchant looked shocked and in disbelief at the thing in Shin Yixuan's hands. The merchant rubbed his eyes repeatedly to make sure that what he saw was real.
”Young master? Are you really going to pay for it with that?” ask the merchant who seems to be in disbelief.
Shin Yixuan was stunned and immediately asked, ”Is this thing unusable? Or worth nothing more than gold and silver? I often throw it away. So, I think this thing is not so valuable.”
”Is this guy very rich?! The precious thing like a gemstone he was holding was easily thrown away by him. Though, if the thing was sold, maybe he would get a thousand pieces of gold or even more. He may be from the royal family. And if I try to blackmail him, may-can the palace troops will come visit me and destroy my place.” Inner merchants who think about it for a few minutes.
”So, how? Can I buy it?” ask Shin Yixuan back.
The merchant was surprised and immediately said, ”Of course, the young master can buy all the items that are here.” he said with a little awkward for fear that Shin Yixuan is the son of a royal member.
”I can buy everything with this stone?” asked Shin Yixuan who looked in disbelief.
”Of course Young master. I will help you pack all the ingredients that are here.” said the merchant while preparing it in one place.
”No need of everything!” replied Shin Yixuan who directly stopped the merchant. ”I only need to buy food here only. I don't need everything.” he continued while showing a piece of paper that Shin Buyen gave him.
”Sure, Young master. I'll set it up soon.”
A few moments later, the merchant returned with a bamboo basket filled with the materials in the piece of paper. After paying him off and about to leave from there, Shin Yixuan took the time to look back.
He thought Shu Ye was still standing there to accompany him but, for now, he was no longer there. ”Where did he go? Not usually he just left without saying it to me first.” Inner Shin Yixuan who immediately noticed around but, all she found at this time were the villagers who were doing her activities.
”What's the young master? Is there anything less?” ask trader.
Shin Yixuan stared back at the merchant and replied, ”Nothing. But, I might need someone. I'll be gone for a while and for a while, I'll leave these things here. Can you do it?”
The merchant immediately replied, ”Of course, Young master. I'll save it for you.” he replied awkwardly.
After that, Shin Yixuan finally went to look for Shu Ye who had disappeared just like that without saying anything to her first. He searched the whole city and opened one by one the doors there. But he never found it anywhere. Wujie city was too crowded and made it difficult for him to check one by one the faces seen in front of him. Then, his steps suddenly stopped in front of an old woman who worked as a fortune teller.
”Young man, are you looking for your friend? Was he a man in a ponytail, wearing a black and blue suit? I think she went somewhere.” said the old woman who made Shin Yixuan curious.
”Did you see it, Mistress?” asked Shin Yixuan who directly walked towards him.
The old woman nodded and replied, ”She went west to meet her parents.”
Shin Yixuan was instantly shocked upon hearing the direction this old woman had said. He knew very well that the area in the west was the residence of the Lun family who had become ravaged.
”Thank you. Here's toyou! Maybe it's not worth much to you but. Accept it.” said Shin Yixuan quickly as she placed a gemstone on the table belonging to the old woman. Meanwhile, the old woman felt very surprised when she saw an object that might change her future.
”Antracious!”
Meanwhile, at the same time. Shu Ye was standing in front of the Lun family residence that had been destroyed and dusty for 11 years. There is so much dry leaf litter and hundreds of termites that are breaking down the wood of the building.
”True, this is the place.” said Shu Ye who noticed a spacious building wall that was already filled with vines of wild plants.
Shu Ye walked forward and intended to open the gate slightly. But when he was about to touch it, suddenly the sound of screaming from people in pain so pierced his ears that he had to walk backwards and almost fall if only the person behind him did not move quickly.
