#132 - Encounter a rare treasure on the road!
Leaving the Chunlai Restaurant, Gu Yuan circulated the Taiyuan True Qi within his body slightly. Immediately, a burst of alcohol fumes was swept away by the True Qi and dissipated with the wind.
The slight dizziness Gu Yuan had felt originally also disappeared.
"You... you are so shameless! This thing was clearly dug out of the ground by me before, how did it become yours?"
"Bullshit, this thing is clearly mine. It was stolen a few days ago. I was wondering how it disappeared. Turns out it was you, you little thief, who did it!"
Originally intending to go home, Gu Yuan, however, saw a noisy and chaotic scene ahead, with a crowd of people gathered there, seemingly something had happened.
Gu Yuan originally didn't intend to join in the fun, but Xiao Qing in his arms stretched out half of its body, making "squeak, squeak" sounds, looking quite excited, even more so than when it saw the Ice Silkworm Gu a while ago.
If Gu Yuan hadn't repeatedly told it not to appear in front of other people without his orders, Xiao Qing would have already darted out.
Gu Yuan knew that anything that could attract Xiao Qing was definitely not something simple.
His gaze swept over, and the Little Treasure Seeking Technique activated on its own, and then his eyes narrowed.
Gu Yuan saw a dense mass of earthy yellow spiritual light, the light pure, like a miniature earthy yellow sun, even somewhat dazzling and scorching.
The intensity of its light was much stronger than the spiritual peach Gu Yuan had obtained from Qin Hongxiu before.
"This kind of spiritual light..."
Gu Yuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately became interested, knowing that he had encountered a treasure!
Squeezing through some people and walking closer, Gu Yuan discovered that the two people arguing were a tall young man with a broad back and thick eyebrows.
Although this young man looked tall and strong, his clothes were somewhat tattered, and coupled with his honest appearance, he was clearly not from a wealthy family.
In his hand, he held a clod of earth-like object, its color dull yellow, and ordinary people couldn't see anything unusual about it.
As for the other person, he was a middle-aged man dressed in brocade.
This person's appearance was fairly decent, and his clothes were luxurious. However, in his gaze that occasionally glanced at the object in the honest young man's hand, there was a hint of hidden greed.
At this moment, the two were arguing endlessly.
The honest young man, with his neck stiff, his face flushed red with anger, said: "I am not a thief. It's clear that you have taken a fancy to my thing, so you're slandering me!"
The brocade-clad middle-aged man sneered, spreading his hands: "Boy, you can see for yourself, just the clothes I'm wearing can buy your life! I'm not short of money, so why would I falsely accuse you for no reason?"
"On the contrary, this stone in your hand is a treasure that I have cherished for many years. It has a certain effect of nourishing the body and is worth hundreds of taels of silver. You say I'm slandering you, then why don't you explain how a poor ghost like you would have such a treasure?"
"Of course, if you think I'm framing you, then let everyone here be the judge, how about it?"
Hearing the brocade-clad middle-aged man's words, many people in the surrounding crowd nodded, also feeling that his words made sense.
Just looking at the brocade-clad middle-aged man's beautiful clothes and the jade pendant on his waist, one could tell that he was not short of money.
It was normal for such a person to have some cherished treasures.
On the contrary, that young man didn't look like a rich man, how could he have such a good thing?
It shouldn't be that the brocade-clad middle-aged man was bored and joking with him, right?
"This stone is clearly mine, you, you are slandering me..."
The honest young man trembled with anger, unable to explain himself clearly, and anxious to the point of being at a loss for words.
He was clumsy with words and couldn't argue with others, but that didn't mean he was stupid.
The other party clearly had taken a fancy to his thing, and then was throwing mud at him, wanting to take the opportunity to steal the thing away.
In fact, although the words of the brocade-clad middle-aged man had some twisted logic, the honest young man's reaction didn't seem fake.
Therefore, it wasn't that no one saw through the brocade-clad middle-aged man's scheme.
But...
That brocade-clad middle-aged man was strong and sturdy, with a powerful aura, clearly a martial artist. Who would provoke such a person for a stranger?
Gu Yuan originally also intended to get involved, if he could get his hands on a treasure, that would naturally be best.
However, when he saw that honest young man, his expression froze. He carefully sized him up for a few moments, and then without hesitation, he stepped forward, came to the brocade-clad middle-aged man, and said with a smile that was not quite a smile:
"This friend, you are doing something like this, bullying an ordinary person, it's a bit too much, isn't it?"
"Oh?"
The brocade-clad middle-aged man raised an eyebrow, sizing up Gu Yuan a few times. He only felt that the young man in front of him seemed to have some background, but he himself didn't show many traces of practicing martial arts.
"What, little brother, could it be that you can't stand it and want to intervene in this matter?"
He sneered, his words carrying a threat: "But I advise you to think carefully. Once some troubles are provoked, they will backfire!"
Gu Yuan sized up the brocade-clad middle-aged man in front of him and chuckled:
"Looking at your fancy clothes, the baleful aura and the smell of blood on your body can't be concealed at all. It seems that you haven't done few things like plotting wealth and harming lives, and hurting heaven and reason, right? In that case, I can deal with you with peace of mind..."
"You..."
Realizing that something was wrong, the brocade-clad middle-aged man's expression changed, and he was about to make a move, but who knew that Gu Yuan would strike even faster!

Pfft!
Gu Yuan only reached out and tapped, and the brocade-clad middle-aged man's chest caved in with a "crack crack" sound. His whole body then flew backward, spitting out blood.
Seeing this, the surrounding onlookers all retreated, tacitly leaving to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
During this period of time, many martial artists and Innate martial artists had gathered in Beiliang City, and there had been no shortage of friction between them.
In the beginning, many people were affected.
Now, many people have already learned to be smart.
When encountering excitement, you can watch, but if you encounter someone fighting, unless you think your life is too long, it's best to stay as far away as possible.
The brocade-robed middle-aged man was severely injured with one blow. After spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood and struggling to get up, he glanced at Gu Yuan, didn't say a word, and staggered away.
He didn't even dare to say a single harsh word.
It was true that he was a martial artist, but the person who could severely injure him with one move was definitely not someone he could afford to provoke.
Watching the brocade-robed middle-aged man leave, Gu Yuan didn't continue to attack.
At any rate, he was also a figure in Beiliang City, and it was best to do as little of killing people in the streets as possible.
However... Xiao Qing in Gu Yuan's arms had disappeared at some point.
"This brother... no, young hero, thank you. If it weren't for you, my thing would have been snatched away by that person just now."
The honest young man thanked Gu Yuan repeatedly, his face full of gratitude.
Gu Yuan smiled and cupped his hands: "My name is Gu Yuan, just call me Gu Yuan. May I ask for your esteemed name, brother?"
The honest young man reacted and quickly said: "My name is Niu Youde."
"So it's Brother Niu."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Gu Yuan looked around and saw that many people were still watching the excitement from a distance, and said:
"This is not the place to talk, how about we find another place to talk?"
Of course, Niu Youde had no objections.
