Chapter 55 Chu Chouli

"It's already the seventh day. Have you thought about it?"

In a daze, Xu Han opened his eyes. He was surrounded by a misty world, but there was a figure standing in front of him. That figure was extremely tall, as tall as a mountain, blocking out the light, making it difficult for Xu Han to see his appearance clearly. He just felt that his eyes seemed familiar.

"I… I don't want to kill…" He seemed to have lost control of his body at that time, and his mouth actually let out a burst of words that contained tears. Xu Han was stunned. He could clearly see his current appearance from a strange angle. He was young, weak, and his eyes were filled with fear and resistance.

At that moment, he seemed to have comprehended something. This was… the person he was at that time…

"You don't want to kill? Have you forgotten why you sold yourself to Dark Asura Hall? Have you forgotten what Ah Sheng said to you before she died?" The figure continued to reprimand.

"But I don't want to kill anyone. Why must I kill someone?" The tender and immature Xu Han asked in puzzlement.

It was confusion, confusion about the world, confusion about certain rules.

"Because if you don't kill them, you will die, so you have to make a choice." That person said again, his voice becoming a bit deeper. "This world itself is a world where people eat people."

"But" Xu Han raised his head to look. On the side of the tall figure, there were still a few figures looking at him. They were either male or female, old or young, but without exception, their eyes were filled with fear.

"Is there no way for us to survive? Do we have to fight to the death?" The boy raised the dagger beside him, hesitated slightly, but put it down again.

"Yes." But who would have thought that at that time, that figure would suddenly spit out a word that Xu Han hadn't expected.

"What?" At that time, he was like a drowning man who had grabbed the last straw to save his life. He suddenly raised his head and looked at the man.

In the darkness, the corner of the man's mouth slightly rose. He paced to the front of the group of people. Those people immediately felt as if they had seen a ghost, and the fear on their faces became even more intense.

"This." He pointed at a woman in the crowd.

"Mrs. Liu's stepmother drowned her stepson in the well in order to seize the land."

When the woman heard the man tell her what she had done, her face immediately showed fear. She crawled to the man's feet and hugged his ankles, wanting to cry for mercy.

"Damn it." However, in the next moment, as the man spat out an icy cold word, a cold light flashed and the woman's head split.

The death of the woman undoubtedly caused the rest of them to become even more terrified, and the young Xu Han was also shocked, his face extremely pale.

"This." However, the man was still unaware of this. He continued to walk slowly to another person and said, "The county magistrate of Youteng County, Chongzhou , joined forces with the local wealthy gentry to annex the Gu Clan's property, causing the Gu Clan to collapse and die. Damn it."

As soon as he said that, another human head landed on the ground.

"Well, the fisherman by the river, his wife and children were harmed by the local rich gentry. They killed five rich gentry families for blood vengeance." The man paused for a moment and said with some distress, "This won't die."

"But" The man took out a slip of paper from his pocket, which was densely packed with names.

"But he is on the list of the Dark Asura Hall ."

As the man spoke, he walked to Xu Han again.

"Some people deserve to die. You killed him in exchange for your own life. But some people don't deserve to die. What do you think?" The man approached Xu Han and asked playfully.

Xu Han faced the man's questioning and thought for a moment. Finally, he looked at the man again and shook his head.

"I don't know. Do you have a way?"

"Of course."

The man replied. At that time, the darkness suddenly shone with dawn light. Xu Han finally saw the person in front of him clearly with that light.

His pupils dilated at that time, and a name was blurted out by him.

…

"Yuan Cultivation!!!"

Xu Han sat up from the bed. He let out a cry of alarm, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

"You're awake?" A gentle voice came from beside his ear.

Xu Han looked sideways and saw Ye Hongjian 's concerned gaze.

He suddenly came to his senses. All of this just now had turned out to be just a dream.

He looked around and saw that he was lying in a private room. Actually, it was a little inappropriate to say that it was a private room. Other than the bed he was lying on and the broken walls around him, nothing could be found in this room. The reason was that it was not much better than the broken temple where he and the old beggar lived back then.

Xu Han clearly remembered that lightning had descended from the sky and that he was already doomed, but why did he appear here at this moment?

He subconsciously inspected the situation in his body. Although his internal organs were weak, there was no danger to his life. The raging demonic energy also disappeared. Only the sword seed turned purple, but the root bud could not be found. Xu Han tried to communicate with it, but he did not receive any response.

"Why are we here?" After understanding the situation in his body, Xu Han looked up at Ye Hongjian and asked.

"It's a long story." Ye Hongjian also expected Xu Han to ask this question after he woke up. She naturally did not plan to hide anything and immediately brought a series of things to Xu Han after he fainted.

"The tribulation lightning was going to kill you, but for some reason, the tribulation lightning suddenly dispersed. Your body is also very strange. Not only did you not get injured by the lightning tribulation, you actually recovered. I originally planned to find a remote place for you to cultivate. I'll take you to the Exquisite Pavilion after you wake up. However, he happened to encounter Big Brother Chu . He knew some medical skills, so he brought him here. "

" Big Brother Chu ?" Hearing this, Xu Han was stunned, but he couldn't understand why a big brother Chu suddenly appeared.

"It's a hunter in Xingsheng Town. He's very good-hearted. He took care of you when you were unconscious. This place is very close to Linglong Pavilion. If you're fine, we can set off at any time." Ye Hongjian said casually.

However, the more she spoke, the more Xu Han felt the strangeness in it.

He knew what Ye Hongjian was thinking, but it wasn't something that those so-called famous disciples who hadn't been involved in the world could compare to.

Previously, when he made such a big commotion in the forest, ordinary people couldn't avoid it, so why would they happen to meet a hunter? How could Ye Hongjian trust that hunter so easily? He even followed him to his residence? Such a style of conduct was quite different from the Young Miss Ye that Xu Han remembered.

Seemingly sensing Xu Han's suspicious gaze, Ye Hongjian 's pair of beautiful eyes wandered.

"Miao."

At this moment, Xuan'er's soft cry sounded from outside the room. Xu Han looked sideways and saw a man slowly walking in with a bowl of soup. Xuan'er, who had never been close to anyone before, was crouching on the man's shoulder obediently, but when he saw Xu Han sober up. The black cat let out another soft cry and jumped off the man's shoulder, landing beside Xu Han.

This sudden action almost caused the soup in the man's hand to fall.

Xu Han stretched out his hand to placate Xuan'er, who was rubbing against his arm, and looked at the man again.

The man was around forty years old, and the hair on his head seemed to be rarely taken care of. He casually loosened it on his shoulders, his face was also covered in beard residues, and Xu Han even vaguely smelled a faint smell of alcohol from the man's body.

"This is an old hen raised by the old aunt next door. I wasted a lot of effort to get it. I also have a unique prescription for Chu. Drink it while it's hot. It's good for my health." The man placed the bowl of soup in front of Xu Han and said very kindly. However, perhaps he could sense Xu Han's suspicious gaze. He subconsciously lowered his head and avoided Xu Han's gaze.

Xu Han did not drink the bowl of soup. He stared fixedly at the man's face and frowned slightly.

"Have we… met somewhere?" Xu Han asked in a calm voice. He didn't have much peculiarity, except that his memory was very good, almost to the point where he couldn't forget it. Therefore, when he saw the man again, Xu Han faintly looked familiar.

"Brother, you must be joking. I have never been to Chang'an since I was a child in Xingsheng Town. How can I recognize you?" The man hit Taiji, then slapped his forehead and said, "Hey, I still have half a hen stewing in that pot. I have to go take a look. Don't spoil it." With that, the man turned around and left.

But it was too late.

Xu Han suddenly stood up from the bed and stepped in front of the man. At that time, he stretched out his hand and said, "Take it!"

"Huh?" The man was stunned. He raised his head and looked at Xu Han with a puzzled expression.

"Money bag." Xu Han narrowed his eyes and said coldly.

This man was the drunkard who stole his money bag when he first arrived in Chang'an. It was as if he and Qin Keqing hadn't seen each other for four years, and Xu Han could recognize them at a glance. Xu Han naturally remembered this scene clearly, which had only been less than a month.

"Little brother, what are you talking about? Brother, why am I getting more and more confused?" The man's expression turned a little ugly at that time, but he still pretended to be puzzled and replied.

"Didn't you steal my purse that day in Chang'an?" However, Xu Han did not have the intention to fight with this man and insisted that it was what this man called.

The man was speechless for a moment before he woke up from his dream. He patted his knee and shouted, "I see, brother, you must have met my twin brother."

"My name is Chu Chouli. His name is Chu Chouju. He went to Chang'an in his early years and was idle all day long. I think he bumped into my brother. As my brother, I'm here to apologize to him." The man said seriously.

Xu Han didn't really care about the purse. He just wanted to test the identity of this man, but the excuse he made up was too clumsy…

"That's right, that's right. Big Brother Chu is a very nice person. How could he steal your money bag?" On the other hand, Ye Hongjian , who was at the side, suddenly spoke out to excuse the man.

Such anxious behavior made Xu Han even more puzzled, and his gaze towards the two of them also became strange.

Ye Hongjian also seemed to know that her actions were pretentious. Her face flushed red, but she still said with a hard face.

"Big Brother Chu is living here alone and has saved our lives. I want to bring him to the Exquisite Pavilion and see if I can get him a job. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Xu Han did not answer Ye Hongjian 's question immediately.

He still looked straight at the two people in front of him, his gaze going back and forth, causing them to feel uncomfortable.

Just when the two of them felt that they couldn't stand it, Xu Han's voice finally rang out.

"Alright."
