Chapter 75

"Don't worry, as long as we father and son recognize each other, there will be no lack of benefits for you."

The young man in the hat got on the carriage nimbly and said familiarly: "My name is Shen Yuan. I don't know how to address this big brother?"

The coachman's voice rang out from outside the carriage: "Young Master, it's kind of you to send him to Wuyincheng, but don't believe what he says. On such a cold day, stopping a carriage alone in this thick fog, and claiming to be the son of the Shen family ancestor..."

The coachman's words were not unreasonable.

According to what Lv Fang knew, this place was still very far from Wuyincheng, with no village in front and no shop behind. The young man in the hat stopped the carriage here, and what he said wasn't true.

For example, Lv Fang saw that the young man in the hat was a woman disguised as a man, and naturally the name was also fake. However, she had no Haoran Zhengqi on her, nor any innate Qi, and was actually an Eighth Rank, Second Stage—martial artist!

A woman, eighteen or nineteen years old, an Eighth Rank martial artist.

This is interesting!

Ordinary families, even if they worked hard to forge their bodies, probably couldn't do it.

Lv Fang had heard that Shen Kangbo had many adventures in his youth and obtained a volume of the Heavenly Body Technique, first entering the Ninth Rank with martial arts, and then entering the Semi-Sage realm with Dao.

As a result, martial arts flourished near Wuyincheng.

It's not impossible that the Shen Yuan before him is really Shen Kangbo's illegitimate daughter.

"Surname Lv." Lv Fang replied with a smile.

Shen Yuan had the appearance of an old hand in the world and said: "Looking at big brother Lv's clothes and accent, you seem to be from Jiangzhou. I went to Jiangzhou a few years ago. The scenery is beautiful, and the girls are even more beautiful!"

Lv Fang smiled and didn't reply.

Shen Yuan continued like a chatterbox: "Big brother Lv, I'm not a liar, really. The reason I stopped the carriage here is that the people in the previous carriage drove me down."

Lv Fang asked with a smile: "Why did they drive you down?"

Shen Yuan laughed dryly twice, "I said I was Shen Kangbo's son. They were afraid that entering the city would implicate them, and some people said I was a liar, so there was a quarrel..."

"I really am Shen Kangbo's son!"

Shen Yuan said with a stern face.

Lv Fang nodded.

Shen Yuan grinned, "Big brother Lv, I sense that you are a high-realm scholar. Did you come to Wuyincheng to buy heavenly treasures to cultivate? I heard that the Shen family's auction house is huge, selling all kinds of treasures."

Lv Fang had obtained quite a few heavenly treasures in the Lower Upper Realm and indeed intended to visit the Shen family auction house. He said truthfully: "Buying and selling a little something on the way."

Before coming, Lv Fang had read the information about Wuyincheng.

Wuyincheng was Shen Kangbo's fief, so it was built by the Shen family to be exceptionally prosperous, especially the auction house, which was the largest trading place in the nineteen states of Great Zhou.

If you couldn't buy what you wanted here, it would be even more impossible elsewhere.

As a result, people from all over came here by reputation.

Just in terms of prosperity, it could be compared to Shangjing City.

Chatting like this, at dusk, the carriage drove into Wuyincheng and stopped in front of an "Xinglong Inn."

"This is Wuyincheng. There are really so many people."

Shen Yuan looked at the flow of people coming and going on the street and shouted excitedly.

Lv Fang shook his head with a smile, turned and walked into the inn, and said to the shopkeeper: "A guest room that is a bit quieter."

The words had just fallen.

Shen Yuan leaned over, "Big brother Lv, one guest room is enough. I'll stay with you, and I'll sleep on the floor."

"You?"

Lv Fang sighed secretly. That's right, Shen Yuan didn't even have the money to take the carriage, so how could she have the money to stay in an inn? This is relying on him. It's really a small trouble.

"Two guest rooms."

Lv Fang put twenty taels of silver on the counter, "Shopkeeper, I don't know how long I'll stay. Remind me if the silver isn't enough."

The shopkeeper with a handlebar mustache smiled and took the silver, "Alright, two guest rooms!"

Led by the waiter, Lv Fang went to the guest room on the second floor.

At this time, the sky outside the window was already dark. He lay on the bed with his cotton-padded clothes on, calculating that he would go to an auction house tomorrow to exchange the useless heavenly treasures on his body for Heavenly Dao Stones. If it went smoothly, he would go to the Shen family the day after tomorrow...

The next day.

Lv Fang got up early. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Shen Yuan next door also open the door. She said with expectation: "Big brother Lv, are you going to the Shen family auction house? Anyway, there's nothing to do, can I go with you?"

Shen Yuan had changed into a simple and clean set of clothes, her face white and clean. If she changed into women's clothing, she would be quite delicate.

Lv Fang saw that she was prepared, as if she were specifically waiting for him.

Thinking about it a little, he understood. If she were really recognizing her relatives, just going to the Shen family like this would definitely be driven away.

It would be better to follow him to the auction house. Maybe she could see Shen Kangbo.

"Is Shen Kangbo really your father?"

Lv Fang asked with a smile.

"Why would I lie to you? He really is my father."

Shen Yuan said seriously.

Lv Fang nodded, "That's fine, you can go to the auction house with me, but don't talk nonsense. I don't want to be expelled from the city by the Shen family with you. If you are obedient, I will take you to see Shen Kangbo tomorrow."

"Uh..." Shen Yuan had a questioning expression of "Are you lying to a child?" and said reluctantly: "I definitely won't talk nonsense and implicate you, big brother Lv."

Lv Fang didn't explain, left the inn, got on the carriage, and rushed toward the Shen family auction house. After traveling for about an hour, he arrived at Kangfu Street.

In front of the shops on both sides, there were small vendors setting up stalls everywhere.

Pedestrians were like people attending a fair in his previous life, and the carriage couldn't pass at all.

Lv Fang had to get off the carriage and walk. The Shen family auction house was in the middle of this street, which wasn't far, and he arrived after walking a few steps.

Shen Yuan came to this street, looked left and right, and sighed: "As expected of my father's fief, there are too many people selling heavenly treasures here. Heavens! Big brother Lv, look quickly, blood ginseng as thick as an arm."

Lv Fang only took one look and knew it was man-made. He shook his head and walked straight ahead. If it were really a treasure, how could it be sold at a street stall?

Wouldn't it be better to sell it at the Shen family auction house?

However, it wasn't without merit. The things sold at these stalls were extremely complex, including alchemy recipes, books on weapon refining, and common knowledge books on formations, exotic herbs, and minerals.

Along the way, Lv Fang also bought a few books with a curious mentality. After reading them roughly, the content inside was indeed a bit of a way.

"Come and take a look, Great Zhou News! All the elegant literature written by Lord Wenguan, and the latest 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms', all for only three hundred taels of silver."

A vendor shouted.

"Three hundred taels of silver? In Shangjing, a copy of Great Zhou News only sells for ten copper coins. Yours is a bit expensive."

Lv Fang stopped in front of the stall.

The vendor, a man with a bushy beard, grinned and said:

"This guest doesn't know. The elegant literature written by Lord Wenguan can obtain the scent of books and extraordinary power. Except for Shangjing City, only high-ranking officials and nobles can see it. Three hundred taels is really not expensive."

"I'll buy it for three hundred taels!"

A male voice came from behind Lv Fang.

Only to see a wealthy young master with wind-catching ears, holding a folding fan in the cold weather, walked to the stall, pushed Shen Yuan away, raised his chin slightly, and swept a glance at the other items on the stall with his mung bean-sized eyes, shaking his head with full disdain.

"You buy it, why push me?"

Shen Yuan said angrily.

The wealthy young master with wind-catching ears frowned and glanced at her, saying contemptuously: "You think it's expensive and don't buy it, but you're blocking me. What? Did I say something wrong? Otherwise, you buy it?"
