Chapter 552 Sunset in Nangong, Yang Yitan

Chapter 552 Sunset in Nangong, Yang Yitan

In a small courtyard in the mountains, a seven or eight-year-old boy was shirtless, waving the black blade in his hand to chop wood.

Lao Gao had already piled up the chopped firewood next to him, but he had no intention of stopping.

About an hour later, at noon, the boy raised his head and glanced at the sun, walked to the yard, grabbed a handful of rice and fed it to the chickens, and then returned to the kitchen to prepare for cooking.

The boy is naturally the reincarnated Lu Chen, who is currently living alone.

In this life, his name is Nangong Sunset.

The housekeeper who once took him away met a rich girl when he was three years old and left Lu Chen and ran away with her.

Lu Chen couldn't complain. After all, the butler had taken care of him for three years. At least he didn't starve to death, which was considered a kindness.

But if he was not a reincarnation, it would be difficult for a three-year-old child to survive alone.

Following the route mentioned by the butler, he found a remote small courtyard of their Nangong family and settled down here.

Originally, he wanted to go back to Tushan directly, but the mountains were high and the roads were far away. He was a three-year-old child and his physical condition had not recovered much, so the risk was not a problem.

The problem is that he didn't get in touch with Eriki.

Originally, as long as Eriyi was not in seclusion, he could ask Eriyi to pick him up directly. However, Eriyi seemed to have been used to long periods of seclusion because of waiting for a long time. He didn't know how long it would take to wake up this time.

As for Tushan's continued relationship, Tushan should have known about it after he was reincarnated, but the world is so big that it is still difficult to find someone.

On the other hand, it is difficult for him to return to Tushan now, because after his reincarnation, he has an additional side mission.

[Side mission: Cause and Effect]

Mission content: The pioneer has been reincarnated as Nangong Sunset, and has formed a cause. He needs to repay the kindness of the Nangong family, avenge the original owner's parents, and needs to kill Xiao Wancheng, the chief inspector of the Xiao family, to resolve the cause and effect.

Mission Difficulty: NormalDeath is inevitable.

Success reward: inheritance crystal. Large*1

Failure penalty: -3 to all attributes

Mission time limit: nine natural years in the fox demon world.

The difficulty of this task changes according to his own strength. If he fights it as a baby, he will naturally die. But it will be different when he grows up.

Because this task mark needs to be completed alone, he can't borrow Tushan's strength, and even Eriyi can't help him. After thinking about it, he just practiced swordsmanship here.

Living in poverty, but also clean, his sword skills have become more sophisticated, and he can use various sword intentions freely.

After nearly eight years of rebirth, Lu Chen certainly understood the current timeline.

What made him speechless was that he actually wandered in the void for more than a hundred years before he was reincarnated successfully. But the timing of his reincarnation was good, at least he didn't miss any important plot.

If he had waited a few more decades during the reincarnation process, his main mission would have directly failed.

At this point in time, if my calculations are correct, he should be of the same generation as the young people from King Power Hegemony, about the same age.

The Taoist League was also very dark during this era. After the Xiao family gained status in the Taoist League, relying on their status as supervisors, they frequently eliminated dissidents and rectified various Taoist families.

Lu Chen's parents in this life were among them. The Nangong family was just a small aristocratic family, well-known for their swordsmanship. Because they were kind to others and often helped people, they were somewhat popular in the surrounding area.

It is said that such a small aristocratic family would not be in the eyes of the Obsidian Supervisor at all, and they would not bother to deal with it. However, Nangong Sunset's father had good relations with the Yang family of Tianyan, so he was on the side of the Yang family.

The head of the Nangong family saved a calf demon by chance during an outing. When someone saw it and exposed it, someone reported that the head of the Nangong family had colluded with the monster.

In the Yiqidao Alliance of this era, colluding with monsters is a serious crime, but in fact the matter is very simple. If reviewed fairly and impartially, the head of the Nangong family will have nothing wrong at all. At most, he will be accused of "bad conduct."

But the Xiao family wanted to use the Nangong family to kill chickens as a warning to the monkeys. Inspector General Xiao Wancheng personally came to supervise the case and directly arrested the head of the Nangong family. The mistress of the Nangong family was pregnant at the time. Not long after giving birth to little Sunset, she went to Tianlao to ask for someone. No return.

Later, an inspector came to Nangong's house and ransacked the house, saying that the Nangong family had committed a serious crime. The charges were breaking into the sky jail and attacking the inspector Heiyao. The housekeeper took Little Sunset and ran away. On the way, he was careless and accidentally fell to death... …

Lu Chen was able to take on a new identity, which was very strange.

He originally thought that space would allow him to be born from a certain mother's belly. If he was reincarnated in this way and had the same name, no wonder he would wait for so many years.

The cheating Red Immortal Heavenly Book is indeed not a user, so there will be no long-term cultivation benefits.

Since the task could only be done by one person, in order to prevent some of Tushan's extremely enthusiastic good friends from helping him, he was too lazy to find a way to contact Tushan.

After finishing his meal, he wiped his mouth and lamented that what he had done was still far from Tushan Yaoxinzhai.

He examined his current attributes.

[Pioneer No. 009, your naked attributes are as follows (weak):]

Constitution: 81 points

Strength: 80 points

Agility: 79 points

Spirit: 90 points

Charm: 50 points

Compared with the same age in his previous life, he is obviously much stronger, especially his mental attributes, which are very impressive because they are not weakened by physical limitations.

Such strength is not to say that he dominates the world, but with his unparalleled sword intent and the bonus of temporary status, it is not a problem to kill some demon kings.

In the past, Lu Chen felt that this weak state in his childhood was a bit deceiving, but he had a new experience in this life.

Experiencing the state from weak to strong again and again, at various stages, allowed him to examine himself more clearly, and even understood a bit of the secrets of human body growth.

"Master Nangong, I have your letter."

Hearing someone shouting outside the courtyard, Lu Chen stood up, a little confused as to who would deliver the letter to him. He was already the only child of the Nangong family, and few people knew about this remote courtyard of the Nangong family.

Since the Nangong family was ransacked, the Xiao family's purpose has been achieved and they have long forgotten about this small family matter.

It can be said that the Nangong family has basically been eliminated from this continent. Who will remember them and be able to find this place?

Lu Chen walked out of the courtyard and saw a young messenger, wearing bright red festive clothes, smiling and politely saluting Lu Chen with fists clasped.

"Mr. Nangong, we have finally found you. May I ask what your current name is?"

the messenger asked.

"My name is Nangong Sunset."

Lu Chen replied.

The messenger took out an invitation and attached it was a bag of gold. "The master has told me that if I find the young master, I will invite you to live in the Yang Mansion. If you don't want to, you can take the money and live an ordinary life."

Lu Chen's thoughts changed and he knew who the person who invited him was. It seemed that his old club had finally found him.

It's strange that this place is too remote. The old housekeeper took him to hide in the early years.

I am afraid that Mr. Yang feels guilty for not being able to save his Nangong family back then. He has been looking for the descendants of the Nangong family for many years.

"What is this invitation?"

Lu Chen wondered, this looks like a wedding invitation. There is no need to bring an invitation to take care of an old friend's orphan, right?

The messenger politely explained: "Miss is getting married in a week, and I have your share in drawing up the invitation. If you don't want to go and live in the Yang Mansion, it's good to go and enjoy the happiness."

Lu Chen suddenly realized and completely confirmed the current time.

It can only be said that the current head of the Yang family is an honest man with an arrogant temper, and is also extremely arrogant. He was afraid that the descendants of the Nangong family would be resentful and unwilling to live in the Yang mansion, so he used the wedding invitation trick.

I'm afraid that in the eyes of the other party, children like to have fun and have a good time. If Nangong Sunset goes, he will be able to "coax" her when they see her, and naturally he can let Little Sunset stay and take care of her.

But Lu Chen knew that this was not about seeking good fortune, but rather seeking bad luck.

In the original work, Miss Yang's wedding was destroyed to pieces, and even the groom was captured and killed by the Xiao family.

"Then let me... go take a look."

Lu Chen pretended to hesitate and took the invitation and money bag.

The messenger looked overjoyed and took out another map, with the route drawn on it and how to take the bus at each point.

Lu Chen took the map and thought to himself, from the beginning, were you ready to let me pass?

And with his keen perception, he could also detect that there were two Taoist priests from the Yang family around the courtyard, probably coming to secretly escort him.

He wanted to go by himself, but didn't want to let himself know. He really wanted to let a child go alone for hundreds of miles, and instead of sending someone to escort him directly, he came secretly.

Mr. Yang loves face so much.

"The Yang Mansion is waiting for the young master's arrival. The journey is long. I suggest that the young master set off in the next two days."

The messenger clasped his fists and saluted again, and then left.

Lu Chen put away the invitation, turned back to the small courtyard, and started packing.

He originally planned to go directly to the Xiao family when he was nine years old, but now it seems that he doesn't need to wait that long anymore.

As the Heiyao Inspector, Xiao Wancheng usually has many members of the Yiqi Dao Alliance around him, but on the day of the wedding, it is difficult for him to bring so many people with him, and it is the easiest time to kill.

It was just a question of whether other aristocratic families would sit back and watch him leave after killing people. He still had to find a way to contact Eri Yi.

Although he likes to be reckless, he is still young and it would be best to have some backup.

Because the Yang family was secretly following him, he couldn't expose his storage space, so he put some dry food in his luggage.

Before going out, he took out the rice cans and sprinkled them all on the ground. The chickens in the yard gathered around him. "When you are full, you can fend for yourself. Don't be easily taken away and stewed."

Once he leaves, he will never come back.

I secretly communicated with Lu Chen's two Yang family members and felt that this child was really strange. He left without saying a word. He didn't even close the door to his home before leaving, and he didn't ask anyone to take care of his chickens.

Was this moved by the messenger's words? When you are ready to come to our Yang family, why don’t you just stay here and not leave?

That's fine, the master will be happy.

…………

Lu Chen calculated the distance along the way and didn't walk in a hurry. He ate and drank wildly on the way with the money given by Yang's old family master, feeling very uncomfortable.

This made the two Yang family members more certain that Lu Chen was planning to join the Yang family and was not planning to go back.

However, they also lamented that they were children after all, had no experience in dealing with things at all, and did not understand the principle of keeping wealth secret.

If they hadn't secretly helped each other and eliminated seven pickpockets and five thieves who wanted to steal money, this little guy wouldn't have been able to get to Yang's house, right?

The guard of the Yang family looked at the big man kneeling in front of him and frowned: "Get lost, you want to take the money from the kid too."

The man secretly glanced at Lu Chen in the distance and secretly thought it was bad luck. He didn't expect that there was someone protecting him secretly. He originally thought he was a good fat sheep.

He nodded and bowed and left, then secretly glanced in the direction of Lu Chen and whispered, "I guess you saved your life."

Lu Chen held a bag of roasted sweet potatoes in his hands and ate while walking. Of course he knew that someone was watching him.

As long as there are free workers to help clear the road for him, he doesn't need to take action.

Before doing the side mission, he didn't want the Yang family to know his strength, so the aura masking function in Liuyun Armor was turned on. Even if the two people behind him had the eyes of the sky, they couldn't see clearly what he was.

In the eyes of those two people, I am afraid that I am just a healthy and strong child without any magic power.

Lu Chen didn't even take the Regicide with him and put it in the storage space. At this time, except for being neatly dressed, he looked like an ordinary handsome young lady.

Five days later, the night before the wedding, Lu Chen arrived at Yang's house.

At this time, the Yang family has already finished the wedding decorations. The inside and outside of the courtyard are all festive red, with staggered red silks and brand-new carpets. It must be said that a wealthy family is lavish.

"Excuse me, is this the Yang Mansion?"

Lu Chen handed over the invitation and asked knowingly.

The guard did not look down upon the child just because he came to inquire. The superiors had told him to pay attention to whether there were children coming to the banquet in the past few days.

He looked at the name on the invitation. It was the word Nangong, and he felt happy, "Master Nangong, please come in quickly."

Because there are many guests traveling far away, the Yang family will of course arrange accommodation for guests who arrive in advance. Depending on the distance of the relationship, some will be accommodated in the mansion, while others will be arranged in inns in the city.

After the guard made the announcement, an old butler came out with a smile on his face and kindly asked Lu Chen to follow him, "Master, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Along the way, Lu Chen looked around. The size of Yang Mansion was probably nearly a thousand acres, with rockeries, flowing water, and peach trees and vegetation.

The servants who came and went also had happy faces. Because of the young lady's wedding, their monthly income had doubled.

When they were halfway there, a figure wearing white and purple robes fell in front of Lu Chen and the old housekeeper. He was about the same height as Lu Chen.

He had half-long white hair and a purple sky eye on his forehead. At a young age, he could already tell that he was handsome and handsome. His sky eye flickered slightly and he looked at Lu Chen with a curious expression.

"Are you... practicing swordsmanship?"

Shirama Shota asked.

"how do you know?"

Lu Chen pretended to be surprised, but he was actually a little surprised. He didn't show any signs of cultivation, and the two adult Taoist priests who followed him probably didn't even notice that he was practicing swordsmanship.

"Master Yitan, have you finished your evening classes?"

The old housekeeper asked, which was a disguised introduction to Lu Chen.

Yang Yitan looked a little bored, "Teacher said he can't teach me, so he's leaving."
