Chapter 5 Let go of your idol image

There is a market in Wutan City, and naturally there is also one in the ancient tribe, but the things sold there are naturally much higher-end.

The markets here are all controlled by the ancient clan, who send some experts to maintain the order and security of the markets.

As a reward, mercenaries or merchants who set up stalls in the market town to trade have to pay some commission to the ancient clan.

As the daughter of the Gu family, when Gu Xun'er arrived, all the guards in the market town greeted her with smiles.

A sturdy man walked up to Gu Xun'er and Gu Fengchen, bowed slightly, and said, "Miss Xun'er, Master Fengchen, are you coming to the market to buy something?"

Gu Fengchen thought for a moment and said, "Just take a stroll."

Gu Fengchen's voice was polite and gentle, without the eccentricity and pride of a family member.

The guard nodded and retreated.

Gu Xun'er and Gu Fengchen, one big and one small, started strolling in the market.

The two of them didn't actually have anything to buy, especially for Gu Xun'er. If she wanted anything, she could just tell the clan leader Gu Yuan.

As for Gu Fengchen, well.
A dozen seventh-grade pills?
Even if it is a seventh-grade elixir, it is not cheap in the ancient clan, and the price in the ancient clan’s market is also not cheap.

Gu Fengchen randomly walked into a store to look at the goods. Even some third- and fourth-grade elixirs were extremely expensive. He could not afford some high-end goods, so he could only run out in shame.

Whenever encountering this kind of situation, Gu Fengchen would sigh and say, Damn, Xiao Yan is still lucky. He has an old man who can give him both martial arts and fighting skills. Damn it, why doesn’t he have the same experience?

After shopping for a long time, (poor guy) Gu Fengchen didn’t find anything he liked.

Gu Fengchen sighed (crying poor) and said, "It's so hard, Sister Xun'er, do you have any way to make money quickly?"

"Yes, I have."

Gu Xun'er pointed in a direction cheerfully, "Go straight from here to our Gu clan's bank. Grab a ticket and you'll have everything."

"...Who doesn't know how to rob a bank?" Gu Fengchen rolled his eyes. He smiled and said, "Sister Xun'er, is there any magic in our Sutra Library that can turn stone into gold?"

"Brother Gu Fengchen, just tell me if you have no money. Don't always think about these crooked ways." Gu Xun'er criticized righteously, and then gave Gu Fengchen another 3000 gold coins as pocket money.

What do I need those magic for when I have Xun'er!
Time is always hurried, and soon, Gu Fengchen and Gu Xun'er separated.

Of course, Gu Fengchen still bought a lot of small items for Gu Xun'er today. It was not because Gu Fengchen had money to spend at will. In fact, all the money in Gu Fengchen's hand was given by Xun'er.

Gu Fengchen himself didn't have a lot of money, but Gu Xun'er particularly liked to see her brother spending money on her, so she gave money to Gu Fengchen and asked him to buy things for her.

This tradition seems to have started since Gu Xun'er started getting pocket money at the age of four.

Well, I am a time traveler and I am not familiar with the people and the place.

My predecessor liked to live off women, so what does it have to do with me, Gu Fengchen thought.

After Gu Fengchen and Gu Xun'er parted ways, he did not return to his residence immediately, but went to a separate courtyard in the deepest part of the ancient world. In a pavilion in the ancient world, a middle-aged man was sitting inside with windproof gauze hanging on all sides.

He had a plain appearance, and his face was calm, but his body seemed to contain extremely terrifying power.

This person is none other than the current patriarch of the Ancient Clan and one of the strongest men in the Douqi Continent, Gu Yuan.

He is also Gu Xun'er's father.

In front of Gu Yuan, there was a small red clay stove. The flame was burning a bronze filigree teapot. The boiling water in the pot was bubbling, the emerald green flat tea leaves were tumbling and rolling, and the fragrance of tea was everywhere.

A maid stood by, adding charcoal to the stove.

At this time, Gu Yuan turned his head and saw Gu Fengchen walking over from outside the pavilion. He smiled and said, "It's Fengchen. Why are you here?"

Gu Yuan held the white porcelain teacup, took a deep breath of the fragrant tea, and then drank it all in one gulp.

"Chief, I came here today to ask you something."

Gu Fengchen and Gu Yuan had a pretty good relationship, so Gu Fengchen didn't say much and went straight to the point.

Gu Yuan nodded slightly, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Gu Fengchen looked at Gu Yuan and said seriously, "I want to leave the Gu Clan, go out and try my luck, and hone myself."

After hearing this, Gu Yuan frowned slightly and said, "No, you are not at the level of a fighter yet. If you must go out, then go to the Xiao family with Xun'er. I will ask Elder Ling to protect you two. Otherwise, it will be too dangerous for you to go alone."

Let Ling Ying follow me?
Dou Huang Ling Ying is Xun Er's personal bodyguard, how could that be possible?

I want to have Yun Yun in my left hand and a little medical fairy in my right hand. If I let Ling Ying follow me, whether I rescue Yun Yun myself or lend a helping hand to the little medical fairy after her poisonous body breaks out, I'm afraid Ling Ying will find out and ruin my chance.

Gu Fengchen shook his head and said, "I want to go and practice by myself. Maybe if I'm lucky I can find some rare treasures!"

That’s right, although it is basically as difficult as ascending to heaven for ordinary people to obtain advanced skills, nothing is absolute. The Douqi Continent is vast and has numerous races, so there are indeed many opportunities.

Maybe, you fall off a cliff one day, and it is possible that you will get a great opportunity.

But in theory, the ancient clan does not lack these resources, so this set of rhetoric may be useful in a declining small family, but it does not exist in the ancient clan.

Gu Yuan thought for a moment, then said, "We need to think about this matter carefully. At least with your current strength as a fighter, I will never let you leave the Ancient Clan. If you want an opportunity, I will give it to you when you are strong enough."

Gu Fengchen complained in his heart, you old antique, you only know how to talk, unlike Xun'er, who gives as soon as she says so.

This conversation was not a very pleasant one, but Gu Fengchen didn't care. At worst, he could just leave without saying goodbye and report later. Anyway, Xun'er knew that he was leaving, and that was enough.

Gu Yuan looked at Gu Fengchen who was leaving. The ancient peach tree outside the pavilion was like a winding dragon. The peach blossoms were in full bloom. The breeze blew, and the petals flew all over the sky like thin pink smoke.
