Article 2535. Missing.

"Where am I?"

Zhang Chaozhong felt that his eyes were a little blinding, but the sunlight shone through the window and landed on his eyelids. His eyelids moved slightly, and Zhang Chaozhong slowly opened his eyes. He found himself in an unfamiliar bedroom.

He was not lying on the bed, but lying on the bed. The injury on his back still hurt, and it reminded him of what happened last night.

"I'm not dead? Did they capture me alive?"

Zhang Chaozhong's expression gradually became somewhat strange.

He forcefully propped himself up and planned to see through the window. He discovered that in the courtyard outside, a familiar figure was... practicing the sword, if this could be considered a sword technique.

"Why isn't Boss Ning dead? What's going on?"

Zhang Chaozhong fell into deep thought. He couldn't figure out why he was able to survive the situation last night. Even Ning Qi was still alive. Where did the two fellows who were chasing after him go?

Creak.

The door opened and Bei Xiao walked in with a basin of water in his hand. He placed it on the bed and said to Zhang Chaozhong, "Master said that you still need to clean up the wound on your back. But he said you can do it yourself. Come out and have some porridge after you've cleaned up."

After saying that, Bei Xiao turned around and left. However, he felt a little strange when he walked out of the door. Why did that fellow look so familiar? It seemed like he had seen him somewhere before.

Zhang Chaozhong also had the same feeling. Naturally, he didn't know that this Bei Xiao was the child beggar that he had saved from the Mad Cloud Hand. The difference between the Bei Xiao at that time and the current Bei Xiao was too great.

However, from Bei Xiao's words, Zhang Chaozhong could obtain an accurate piece of information. He had indeed survived, even though he knew everything that had happened last night. In order to know all of this, he quickly cleaned up the wound. He put on the blue cloth shirt that Bei Xiao had brought for him and walked into the courtyard.

Bei Meng held her chin and looked at Ning Qi practicing his sword in boredom. When she saw Zhang Chaozhong, a trace of curiosity appeared in Bei Meng's eyes.

"You're awake?"

Ning Qi put away his sword and stood up. He wiped the sweat on his forehead and smiled.

"Yes."

Zhang Chaozhong wanted to say something but stopped himself. He glanced at Bei Xiao and Bei Meng.

"You two go out and play."

Ning Qi waved his hand.

Bei Xiao and Bei Meng looked at each other. They knew their master had something to say to this guy, so they reluctantly left the yard and went into the shop.

After the two of them left, Zhang Chaozhong cupped his hands at Ning Qi and said, "Boss Ning, I don't know what happened last night. Why am I still alive? Even you..."

"I'm not sure either. After you fainted, they left."

Ning Qi said.

"Hmm?"

Zhang Chaozhong stared blankly at Ning Qi.

"Speaking of which, it was really dangerous..."

Ning Qi sighed.

"This... I'm really sorry. I almost caused Boss Ning to fall into a dangerous situation. Those guys probably won't let me off easily. I'll leave now."

Zhang Chaozhong's face turned red. He quickly cupped his hands and said.

As he left, he solemnly cupped his hands and bowed to Ning Qi. "Thank you, Boss Ning."

If it was anyone else who saw such a scene, they probably wouldn't dare to keep him here. However, since Ning Qi had stayed, he naturally had to thank Ning Qi. As for how he was going to live, he could only find clues in the future.

In the shop.

"Master, who is that guy?"

Bei Meng asked curiously.

Bei Xiao's ears perked up.

"Did you forget the Zhang Chaozhong who saved you?"

Ning Qi said with a smile.

"It's him?"

A trace of surprise flashed across Bei Xiao's eyes, and then he regretted it. Zhang Chaozhong was also his saviour. To be precise, Zhang Chaozhong was his saviour. Zhang Chaozhong had saved them, even though it was because of Ning Qi. However, he had saved their lives. This time, he wasn't able to recognize their gratitude. This caused Bei Xiao to feel some regret.

"You guys were still young at that time, so it's normal that you don't remember."

Ning Qi smiled.

He paused for a moment and said, "The iron is coming soon. Bei Xiao, go and take a look for me. The quality of the iron last time was a little low. If it is the same as last time, ask Mo not to send it over."

"Okay."

Bei Xiao nodded and turned to leave the shop. Bei Meng saw what happened and said to Ning Qi, "I will go and take a look too." She quickly followed Bei Xiao and disappeared around the corner of the street.

Maybe it was because the iron was really the same as the last time. He did not send the iron over even in the evening. Bei Xiao and Bei Meng did not come back either.

Ning Qi sat in the shop until seven or eight o'clock. There were no more pedestrians on the street, so he slowly closed the door.

There was no news from Bei Xiao and Bei Meng for the next few days.

"Little Qi, the constables have sent people to look for them. As long as Bei Xiao and Bei Meng are still nearby, they will definitely be able to find them. Don't worry."

Chen Asan walked into the silk store and said to Ning Qi.

"Mr. Chen, the two of them are already so big. What danger can there be? They can't come back. They must have been delayed by something."

Ning Qi said with a smile.

Chen Asan was a little strange. Ning Qi didn't seem to be worried about the two kids at all.

It was just like how Ning Qi always advised him that Chen Huan would definitely come back. He was always so confident.

After Bei Xiao and Bei Meng went missing, Ning Qi's days were the same as usual. There wasn't much of a change. The only difference was that... The number of matchmakers who visited to talk about marriage became fewer and fewer. However, there were many people who went missing because of Bei Xiao and Bei Meng. They had brought their children to learn from ___ and learn how to forge swords. They were all rejected by Ning Qi using the excuse of his ancestral technique.

In the blink of an eye, another twenty years passed.

Twenty years ago, Chen Asan was almost seventy years old. After these twenty years, he had already passed eight to nine. He had almost become the oldest person in Azure Rock Town. His wife, Chen Chen, was originally more than ten years younger than Chen Asan. However, she had left on the winter night last year.

The funeral was organized by Ning Qi, because Chen Asan no longer had the energy to do it. The business in the shop was basically taken care of by the helpers hired by Chen Asan. Chen Asan, on the other hand, had nothing to do. He stood at the entrance of the silk store with his crutch. He looked at the corner of the street.

Most of the shops on this street had changed owners. Some of them had a father's job, some had retired and left their shops to others. However, everyone knew that Chen Asan was looking at the corner of the street to wait for his son to come back. In private, many people would talk about Chen Asan's unfilial son when they were chatting. They guessed that he might have already died outside.

It had been more than forty years since Ning Qi came to Azure Rock Town. When he arrived, he was in his prime. He was only eighteen years old, but now, he was already sixty years old. His hair was white, except for the sword he practiced for a while every day. The business also became business once every half a year. Every half a year. Maybe it was because of this reason that he started forging swords. The number of people who came to buy swords was not as many as before. Most of them had already heard that... One of the four great experts, Zhang Chaozhong, had already died somewhere. He hadn't shown himself for more than ten years.0
