C113 He Was Speechless

"Since you were once a member of the Adventurer team, why did you sell your ancestral property?" Lin Cheng asked.

"Bro, you are asking me why I am in such dire straits, right?"

Gui Dehan forced a smile and said, "Ever since Big Brother Zhu died in battle, our brothers have all left. I have no other hobbies, so I made a bet. Although I have accumulated some wealth when I was making the Adventurer, the good times do not last long. I lost all of them... "

It turned out that after Zhu Ziqiao's father died, this Adventurer team had lost their pillar of support. There were no longer any experts in the team who could hold their own, so it was naturally difficult for them to gain anything. Slowly, the people dispersed.

Because Gui Dehan was good at gambling, he quickly lost all of his assets in the casino and became downtrodden.

"If I only lose all my money, I can still make Adventurer. I can still make a living, but I don't know why I accidentally offended someone more than a year ago. In order to survive, I was forced to leave my hometown. But I'm already old, and my strength has dropped drastically. I can't make a living elsewhere, and I'm even being bullied."

Speaking up to this point, Gui Dehan had a bitter smile on his face. "If it wasn't for the fact that I really can't live anymore, I wouldn't have dared to return to Cicheng. Unexpectedly, I met the two of you on the first day I came back. Miss Xhu, please take into account that I have followed your father before. Buy my ancestral house. "

Hearing this, the two of them finally understood why Gui Dehan would suddenly bring it up. It turned out that the reason he wanted Zhu Ziqiao to buy his ancestral house was because Gui Dehan was about to die. They couldn't stay in Cicheng any longer, so they wanted to sell their ancestral house. He wanted to spend the rest of his life somewhere else.

"Then... do you know how my father died?"

Zhu Ziqiao pursed her lips and suddenly asked.

Gui Dehan shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. That day Because of gambling... I didn't go with the other brothers, but spent the whole night in the casino... The next morning, I heard this bad news. Brother Zhu and his brothers encountered an accident on the way to the adventure. Almost all of them were killed. "

Zhu Ziqiao's face turned pale and she pursed her lips. A trace of disappointment could not help but flash across her eyes.

When Lin Cheng heard this, he could not help but frown slightly. "Almost? This means that there was still someone who survived at that time?"

Swoosh!

Zhu Ziqiao's eyes lit up and stared at Gui Dehan.

Gui Dehan hesitated for a moment as if he was hesitating. However, when he saw Lin Cheng and Zhu Ziqiao's eyes, in the end, he nodded slightly and said: "Yes, two of our brothers were seriously injured but fortunately, their lives were saved... I also... saw them. "

"Then how could you not know the cause of death for your brothers?!"

Lin Cheng frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Don't tell me that the two survivors were scared silly, or they lost their memories at the same time, so they don't remember what happened at that time."

Gui Dehan looked a little awkward. He shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "This matter... It has been so many years. I did not plan to mention it again, but unfortunately I was too disappointing and addicted to gambling..."

"We are more interested in what happened back then. If necessary, we can buy your house, but..."

At this point, Lin Cheng's face darkened. "We don't have that much time to waste with you. If you don't want to say it, then let's stop here!"

When Gui Dehan heard this, he hurriedly said, "No, no. I will say it, I will say it!"

Lin Cheng could clearly feel Zhu Ziqiao's small hands trembling. He knew that this girl was starting to get nervous. He couldn't help but urge his Yuan energy to speed her over to make her feel at ease.

"Actually, among the two brothers who escaped back then, only one survived in the end. The other half of his body was destroyed and his injuries were too severe. In the end, he didn't manage to survive."

Speaking of what happened back then, Gui Dehan couldn't help but sigh. His tone was a little low. "After I received the news that day, I rushed to the two brothers' home. The first person I saw was the heavily injured brother. It was precisely because of this that... It was because of this that I was able to see him for the last time... and also because of this that I was able to find out what happened when they were attacked! "

" Then... "

Zhu Ziqiao's voice was faintly trembling, but she tried her best to make her voice sound calm, "What happened when they were attacked... exactly?!"

"According to that brother, your father and the others were collecting herbs. They accidentally found something in a dangerous place. It seemed to be a treasure. Later on, on their way back, they happened to encounter another group of Adventurers in Cicheng. Both of them knew each other. One of them accidentally leaked the information..."

A gloomy look flashed across Gui Dehan's eyes. He gritted his teeth. He continued, "On the night of the relay station, the other Adventurer team suddenly launched an attack. Your father and the others were attacked without any preparation. They suffered heavy casualties. Especially since the leader of the enemy team was an expert... In the end, only two of them managed to escape. "

Gui Dehan shook his head and let out a long sigh.

Zhu Ziqiao's eyes had already turned red. She asked with a trembling voice, "You said that the other Adventurer team is also from Cicheng?"

Gui Dehan nodded and said, "This was personally told by that brother before he died. It should be true. Furthermore..."

Zhu Ziqiao immediately asked, "And what?"

" And after that, we were indeed chased and killed, and the people who were chasing us were the people that brother spoke of. " Gui Dehan said in a low voice.

"Chase you away?"

Zhu Ziqiao's face changed, "They want to kill you all? Why is this..."

Before she could finish her words, she realized that the other party not only wanted to kill all of you but also wanted to kill all of you. The purpose was obviously to prevent these people from divulging the news of them obtaining the treasure.

"Of course it's for the treasure that Big Brother Zhu and the others found!"

Gui Dehan shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "Cicheng was only built because it was close to the Heaven Eye River and Heavenly Eye Mountain. It's the people who came to Cicheng. Either they were forced to make a living, or they wanted to make a fortune. How could such a person not be tempted by treasures?"

Lin Cheng nodded slightly. He agreed with what Gui Dehan said.

Zhu Ziqiao had once told him that Cicheng was actually just a relay station that was built later on.

Because it was just a few dozen miles away from the edge of the Heaven's Eye River, and the Heavenly Eye Mountain was just a few dozen miles away. In terms of passing, the water supply on the Heaven's Eye River was interconnected, and in terms of wealth, the Heavenly Eye Mountain that was dozens of miles away was the rest of the mountain range in the Prefecture Boundary. It was a pleasant surprise to see that it was rich in resources.

As a result, more and more people came to explore. The small station in the Cicheng was getting bigger and bigger. It changed from a small station to a small town, then from a small town to a small town.

Because the people in the city were all outsiders, the city lords here were only sent by the King's Kingdom to collect taxes. In fact, the ones who were in charge of maintaining order and managing the city were the first few Adventurers powers that came here.

These forces didn't have any deep heritage or inheritance. It was only because the patriarch was powerful that they formed a force. After absorbing other Adventurer, they slowly rose up.

For example, the Wen Family and the Chu Family had grown in strength just like that.

In a place like this, there was naturally a mix of good and bad people. Not to mention, an innocent man who had a treasure would be punished for his crime. Since Zhu Ziqiao's father and the others had obtained the treasure, the news had been leaked. It was extremely normal for others to covet it and even secretly rob it.

"Then, who is the one chasing after you?" Zhu Ziqiao took a deep breath and asked.

"This..."

Gui Dehan shook his head and said, "I do not know their identity, but I have seen them in Cicheng. They should be foreign Adventurer. After knowing that someone is hunting me down, I quickly left Cicheng. If not... If it wasn't for the fact that I had nowhere else to go, I wouldn't have come back to sell my house. "

Zhu Ziqiao frowned, "You do not know their identity?"

Gui Dehan sighed and nodded. He said, "I really do not know..."

"Hmph!"

Before Gui Dehan could finish, Lin Cheng interrupted him with a cold snort. "You said you don't know who those people are? Alright. In that case, please explain how you knew Zhu Ziqiao."

"This... I have already said that Miss Xhu is the eldest daughter of the Wen Family. She is a famous daughter of the ___ in the Cicheng. Naturally, I know about this old man." Gui Dehan looked at Lin Cheng with a puzzled expression. He did not know why Lin Cheng would ask such a repetitive question.

However, when Lin Cheng heard this, he sneered and said, "In that case, you should be very familiar with the Cicheng?"

Gui Dehan immediately said, "Of course. Although I am not a native of Cicheng. However, when I was still a child, I followed my father to the Cicheng. At that time, the Cicheng was just a small town. Oh right. My father built this house..."

"But the Miss Xhu you mentioned at that time was not born yet, right?" Lin Cheng interrupted him.

"This..."

Gui Dehan was stunned for a moment. "Of course. At that time, I was just a child."

Lin Cheng asked again, "Then when did you leave Cicheng?"1

Gui Dehan blurted out, "It was a few years ago... I left a long time ago. Because the Cultivating Warrior that chased after us were all very powerful, I was not a match for them, so I could only escape..."

"At that time, Zhu Ziqiao was already the young lady of Wen Family?" Lin Cheng interrupted him once again. He stared straight at him and asked in a deep voice.

"Ah..."

Gui Dehan's mouth was wide open and he was speechless.

Swoosh!

Zhu Ziqiao's eyes suddenly became sharp and cold as she stared at Gui Dehan. There was a trace of killing intent in her voice. "Old man, can you give me an explanation?"

Gui Dehan's face instantly turned pale.
