Ding ding dong dong…
As Wu Chen dropped the silver taels, a crisp sound of metal rubbing against metal came from the copper plate. The linen-clothed youth who had been standing at the side was once again in a daze after a moment of recovery.
Wu Chen had two silver ingots with him, three silver stripes, and a total of thirteen silver stripes. Although the money did not account for one-tenth of the entire copper plate, it was worth a thousand times the total value of the entire copper plate. Seeing such a generous reward, not only the linen-clothed youth, but also the thin girl behind him, even the crowd that was about to leave fell into a state of shock.
It must be known that this was 13 patterns of silver, not 13 copper coins. Seeing so much money at once, the surrounding crowd could not help but exclaim in surprise. At the same time, many people revealed a hint of greed in their eyes. The passenger ship was a place where people from all walks of life gathered. Seeing Wu Chen take out so much money, there were naturally people who wanted to take action.
"May I ask this young master's name?" The youth hesitated for a moment. After feeling the gazes of the surrounding people, he did not dare to accept the money.
"I am Dong Qing from the Dong Clan of the Qing Prefecture.”At this moment, Wu Chen's identity was a little awkward, so he naturally could not use his real name. As for the name Dong Qing, it was Dong Qinglian, a name specially arranged for Wu Chen to carry out his duties. The Dong clan's lair was in Qingzhou, so people in the capital addressed the Dong clan as Qingzhou Prefecture.
"So you're from the Dong Clan of Qingzhou Prefecture. No wonder you're so generous.”After hearing the name of the Dong Clan of the Qing Prefecture, the greed in the eyes of the surrounding people slowly receded. At the same time, they were not surprised by Wu Chen's generous reward.
Although the Chen-Xing Empire had been declining in the past hundred years, most of the princes and ministers of the Chen-Xing Empire weren't rich and heartless. They would open the city gates to give alms during festivals and provide relief to the poor. They had a good reputation among the people. Not to mention the Dong family of the Qing Prefecture, a super aristocratic family that had been passed down since the era of the great ancestor. Their reputation among the people could be compared to the royal family. Currently, the entire continent was divided into 13 regions, and each region was divided into three regions. The entire continent was filled with kingdoms of various sizes. Only a world overlord like the Chen-Xing Empire could occupy six of the thirteen states. According to statistics, there were six dynasties that occupied one state. As for the Dong Clan of Qingzhou Prefecture, they had been running their old nest, Qingzhou, since the era of the Great Ancestor. After a full 300 years of operation, their power was no less than an ordinary dynasty. As the head of a large clan, Dong Qinglian's status could even be compared to the ruler of an ordinary dynasty. Otherwise, Dong Qinglian wouldn't have gone against Wu Feng because of Wu Chen. This was his capital.
"So it's the Young Master of the Dong Family of the Qing Prefecture. How can we siblings accept such money? Little sister, return the money to the Young Master.”For some reason, after hearing the name of the Dong Family of the Qingzhou Prefecture, the linen-clothed youth and the young girl couldn't help but reveal a trace of hesitation on their faces. They refused to accept the money no matter what.
"Little sister, since I've already taken out the money, how can I take it back?”Not only did hesitation appear on the youth's face, but the little girl's expression also became more reserved. She put away the silver pieces in the copper plate and immediately handed them to Wu Chen, as if the Dong family's name was like a man-eating tiger.
"Young master, big brother said that we can't accept this money, so we can't accept it. I hope that young master can take it back.”As the little girl stood up, her face became even paler, making one feel as if they were about to collapse. However, such a weak girl didn't have the slightest bit of regret on her face in the face of such a huge sum of money.
"I wonder why the two of you are doing this? Could it be that my Dong family has done something to let you down? If there really is such a thing, please tell me so that I can give the two of you justice.”Seeing the unusual expressions of the siblings, Wu Chen could not help but reveal a puzzled expression. One had to know that this kind of gaze that regarded money as dirt was already rare among the common people. Moreover, even if they accepted the money, they would not be in any trouble. Why did the siblings act like this under such circumstances?
"Young Master, you are mistaken. The Dong Family of the Qing Prefecture is a prestigious family and has a great reputation among the people. As for the money, we really can't accept it. As for the reason, Ning Zeng can't say much. I hope Young Master won't ask too much.”Ning Zeng immediately explained when he saw the confusion in Wu Chen's eyes.
However, at this moment, the little girl who had been standing beside Wu Chen with the money in her hands suddenly began to cough. The coughing sounds were getting heavier and heavier, and the last trace of blood on the little girl's face was replaced by paleness. If Wu Chen had not helped the little girl up quickly, she might have fallen.
"Cai 'er, what's wrong with you? Is your chest hurting again?" Seeing that his younger sister had started coughing again, the young man who had been standing at the side with some grace suddenly became flustered. After taking the little girl from Wu Chen's arms, he gently patted the little girl's chest, hoping to use this method to relieve his sister's pain.
"Big brother, Cai 'er is fine, don't worry.”Seeing her brother's anxious expression, the little girl, who was already in unbearable pain, coughed and comforted her brother. Her appearance was extremely heart-wrenching.
"It's all my fault for being useless.”Seeing the younger sister in his arms turning paler, the young man could not help but tear up. However, as an older brother, the young man kept his tears tightly in his eyes and did not let them flow down.
"What did you do, brother? Your sister is so sick, why are you refusing to go to the doctor?”Seeing the simple brotherly love between the young man and the girl, Wu Chen couldn't help but be moved. Seeing the pale girl in the young man's arms, Wu Chen snatched the little girl from the young man's arms and took out a Spirit Gathering Pill from his sleeve, wanting to stuff it into the girl's mouth.
"What are you going to give my sister?" Seeing Wu Chen snatch his sister from his arms and feed her a pill of unknown origin, the young man suddenly got up from the ground and pounced on Wu Chen.
"If you want your sister to live, then stay here. I've never seen your useless brother.”How could Wu Chen not understand the young man's actions? It was just like how his mother had done it for him back then. Although he understood, Wu Chen still kicked the young man to the side without any hesitation. This was because when he took the girl, Wu Chen noticed that the Yuan Qi in her body was constantly flowing out. This was a sign that she was about to die. If she did not replenish her Yuan Qi in time, the little girl might lose her life in the next few minutes.
Vital Qi was the most mysterious power in the human body. Although it could not be equated with an illusory lifespan, it could directly affect a person's health. Although Wu Chen was not a doctor, as his cultivation increased day by day, his understanding of the various parts of the body became deeper and deeper. Through his observation of the girl, he could tell that there was something wrong with her lungs. Generally speaking, as long as one's heart and brain were not injured, one could recover by replenishing their vitality. Even though Wu Chen's cultivation base was so high that the medicinal effects of a Spirit Gathering Pill were barely noticeable, the terrifying Yuan Qi contained within it was enough to completely heal a person's flesh and blood.
As the medicinal effects of the Spirit Gathering Pill spread, the little girl felt a hot air coming from her stomach. As this hot air spread through her body, the pain in her lungs slowly eased. The little girl also felt her strength slowly increasing. In a moment, the little girl's face was red again.
"What are you doing?" Wu Chen placed his palm on the girl's back, feeling the changes in her body bit by bit. Although the Spirit Gathering Pill was the gentlest among all the other pills, it would still cause discomfort to an ordinary person after consuming it. While Wu Chen was observing the changes in the girl's body, the young man in linen clothes who had fallen to the ground stood up and raised his spear to stab at his right palm.
Hearing Wu Chen's angry roar, the linen clothed youth's hand could not help but stop. The spear that was originally about to stab his right palm shifted and pierced a small hole in the deck beside the youth's left foot." Cai Ceng deserves to die. He actually misunderstood Young Master's good intentions. It was this rotten hand that touched Young Master earlier, so…" Before he could finish speaking, this youth called Cai Ceng pulled out the spear that was stuck in the deck again…
"Trash, put down the spear! I said I want your hand. Your sister hasn't recovered yet, and now you've crippled your hand. Do you want me to take care of you for the rest of your life? Pick up your sister and come with me!”Seeing such a disappointing Cai Zeng, Wu Chen couldn't help but curse angrily. He gently placed the girl on the ground and walked towards the pavilion.
"Young Master!" Although Wu Chen's words were filled with hatred, Cai Zeng knew why. The hesitation she had when she heard the name of the Dong family in Qingzhou Prefecture no longer appeared. She flung her spear and picked up her sister before following Wu Chen up the pavilion.
As Wu Chen and the other two left, the crowd that had surrounded them slowly dispersed. As for the hole that Ning Zeng had made on the deck, someone would naturally deal with it. However, the miraculous sight of Wu Chen curing the girl with a flip of his hand had become the topic of conversation for many passengers tonight.
