1221 Learning About the Yun Family (2)
The old man couldn’t help but feel shocked. This was a high-level ore! He immediately glanced at Yun Feng and the others again. This little girl was wearing simple clothes, but she had her own temperament. He originally thought she was a descendant of an ordinary rich family, but he didn’t expect her to give him a high-level ore right away! Who exactly was she?
Yun Feng chuckled. “Thank you, senior.” She thanked him again and was about to leave. The old man stood there and thought for a while before he suddenly said, “You three young people, wait!”
Yun Feng and the others stopped. The old man sighed softly. “I was blind just then and my attitude towards you was a bit bad. However, we can’t accept this high-level ore. Even if we do, it’ll cause an unexpected disaster.”
Yun Feng frowned. Seeing that the old man and the little girl were indeed wearing shabby clothes, she thought for a moment and said, “If high-level ores are too eye-catching, what do you think of the foundation ores? Is the place where you can exchange ores in Twilight Village?”
The old man was startled and then shook his head. “I know you have good intentions, but forget it. We won’t be able to dig out ores in this place. Since you’re going to Twilight Village too, let’s go back together.”
Qu Lanyi raised his brows. “Are you a villager of Twilight Village?”
The old man nodded and walked forward with the little girl and Yun Feng. “You three seem to be outsiders?”
Yun Feng chuckled. “You’re right, senior. It’s indeed our first time here.”
The old man sighed. “Things change really quickly. I think the three of you are all extraordinary. You’ll definitely let your family enter the Inner Region again.”
Yun Feng and the others didn’t say anything. The old man didn’t ask anything else. The little girl stuck her head out next to her grandpa. Yun Feng smiled at her kindly. The little girl blushed inexplicably and hid behind her grandpa again. She quietly stuck her head out and smiled at Yun Feng shyly.
On the way to the Twilight Village, Yun Feng had already made up her mind. Even though she was anxious to find the headquarters of the Yun family when she first entered this unfamiliar area, she couldn’t expose the fact that she was a member of the Yun family easily. Since the Yun family was attacked by someone, she had to see clearly who was behind it. By then, she wouldn’t let anyone go! Yun Feng’s name couldn’t be exposed for the time being. It was better to use Feng Yun.
“We’re here.” The old man pointed ahead. A small village was right ahead. The old man brought Yun Feng and the others close to Twilight Village. Some villagers didn’t ask anything when they saw Yun Feng and the others, but when they saw the old man, they all whispered, “How was it? Did you find any ores? Today is the deadline. That scum of the Zhou family came again today…”
The old man smiled wryly and didn’t say anything. He just waved his hand and led Yun Feng and the others forward. “The coachman’s place is ahead. You can go there, but if you want to go to the city, you must have a pass, or you won’t be able to enter.”
“A pass?” Yun Feng raised her brows. The old man nodded. “If you want to live a good life, you can only do it in the city. People like us can’t enter at all.”
“Old man, where can we get the pass?” asked Qu Lanyi. The old man chuckled. “With your strength, you should be able to get it easily. There are announcement boards outside every city. There are conditions on how to get the pass. As long as you satisfy them, someone will give it to you.”
The old man turned around and was about to leave with the little girl. At this moment, a group of people walked over from the front. Seeing the old man, they suddenly shouted with an extremely ear-piercing voice, “Old man! Are you tired of living? Where are the low-level ores? Today is the last day. If you still can’t hand them over, don’t blame me for being rude to you!”
The old man immediately put the little girl behind him. “Young Master Zhou, our family can’t take out ten low-level ores at all. Even if I sell myself, I won’t be able to get so much. Do you think you can give me a few more days? I…”
“Bah!” The young man in the lead walked over casually and spat on the ground fiercely. Yun Feng couldn’t help but frown when she saw that. “You old thing! I can forgive you! But let me play with her for a few days first!” The young man suddenly dragged the little girl behind the old man out. The little girl was immediately frightened to tears. “Grandpa, grandpa!”
The old man wanted to go forward and save his granddaughter, but the young man pulled the little girl forward fiercely. “Damn it, you old thing who doesn’t know what’s good for her! It’s her fortune that I like this stinky girl! You should be thankful. Hahahaha!”
“Wait!” A voice suddenly sounded. The young man turned around and was still holding the little girl’s arm firmly in his hand. The little girl’s arm was immediately swollen and her face was full of tears. She looked at Yun Feng with tears in her eyes, which made people pity her indescribably.
“Who are you? How dare you talk to me like that?” The young man looked at the person who spoke. When he saw Yun Feng’s face, a hint of heat suddenly burst out of his heart. Compared to the stinky girl in his hand, this beauty was certainly more to his liking. The greed and dirty thoughts in the young man’s eyes made Yun Feng’s eyes turn cold. “Let go of her.”
The young man smiled mischievously. “I can let go of this stinky girl. However, beauty, you have to accompany me for a day. How about that?”
“Shameless people are invincible.” What Qu Lanyi said made the young man enraged. “Who do you think you are? How dare you say that to me?”
“Let her go. I’ll give you however many low-level ores this old man has to pay.” What Yun Feng said made the young man frown abruptly. The old man looked at Yun Feng. “Miss, you don’t have to…”
Yun Feng chuckled. “Senior, you’ve done me a favor. I certainly have to repay you.”
The old man’s eyes glittered. Yun Feng glanced at the young man. “I said, let go of this little girl.”
The young man didn’t want to let go at first, but he could only let go under the pressure of Yun Feng’s gaze. The little girl immediately ran behind the old man and hid. The young man finally looked at Yun Feng in the eyes. After sizing her up a few times, he knew that Yun Feng didn’t look like someone to be trifled with. He was quite smart.
“Low-level ores? This old man hasn’t handed over the ores he’s supposed to hand over for years! Let me calculate. There should be a hundred mid-level ores at least!”
“Nonsense! I clearly…”
Yun Feng waved her hand and asked the old man to stop talking. She glanced at the young man with her black eyes. “A hundred mid-level ores?”
