A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 283 The He Family's Dilemma

Tang Qianqian asked, "Mengting, are there no robberies or anything like that around here?"

Huang Mengting smiled slightly and said, "No one dares to mess with the night market here."

"why?"

"Because the night market here is run by the government, there are police patrolling 24 hours a day."

Upon hearing this, everyone understood. Indeed, with police cars patrolling 24 hours a day and armed police patrolling back and forth, who would dare to rob or steal here?

A group of more than ten people arrived at the entrance of the night market and were astonished by the sheer number of people there. This wasn't a night market; it was a sea of ​​people! Many were carrying large bags and small packages, all packed together.

"Damn, with so many people, how are we going to get in?"

The little brat grabbed his older sister Lily's hand, stood on tiptoe, and blurted out this sentence.

Huang Mengting smiled slightly and said, "That's why it's called a night market. It just so happens that today is Saturday, so there are naturally more people than usual."

Lily said, "Since we're here, let's go in and take a look! See if there's anything we need to buy."

When it comes to shopping, everyone present was happy. Firstly, they were all girls, and shopping was their favorite thing. Even Baihe and the others were no exception. Having long been adapted to city life, they also knew how to dress themselves up.

The most important point is that they all have money. They will buy anything they want, no matter the price.

……

In City S, Chao Bufan returned to the Jinqiao Villa and found the house empty. He went to his room to meditate and cultivate. But as soon as he sat on the bed, his phone vibrated in his pocket. He took it out and cursed inwardly, "At least you guys have some conscience, you know to call me."

He put the phone to his ear, with a slightly frivolous air, and said, "Hello, darling."

The call was from Qianqian. "Bufan, what are you doing?"

"What else can we do but stay home alone? What are you all doing?"

"We're at the night market right now! Bufan, I've got my eye on a dress, but it's too expensive. What do you think, should we buy it or not?"

Chao Bufan laughed and said, "It's just a piece of clothing! If you like it, just buy it!"

"Yes, that's impressive. Not only do I want to buy it, but Sister Lily and the others want to buy it too!"

"Qianqian, I don't know anything about buying clothes and cosmetics for you girls. Just tell Baihe and the others that if you like something, just buy it. You don't need to tell me. If you're short of money, I'll give you some."

"Hehe, Bufan, we're relieved to hear that. We're off to shop now, remember to reimburse us when we get back!"

After hanging up the phone, Chao Bufan shook his head and smiled, then sat down to meditate and cultivate.

He family.

Murong Jinshui said with a solemn expression, "In the entire HX, all cultivators come from our eight great cultivation families, and there are no others. If what Nephew Lin Feng said is true, I think this young man named Chao Bufan is very likely from a certain family. But as far as I know, there are not many people with the surname 'Chao' in the entire HX, and no one in the Chao family knows anything about cultivation."

He Huacheng said, "Is it possible that it came from a certain sect? For example, Wudang or Huashan."

Murong Jinshui shook his head and said, "That's impossible. As far as HX is concerned, although these sects are martial arts sects, they cannot be called cultivation sects. At most, they only practice martial arts that can only strengthen the body."

He Jingde nodded and said, "Then there is only one possibility: this boy must have had some kind of extraordinary encounter that made him an instant change of person."

Murong Jinshui nodded as well, saying, "It's not impossible. Senior Brother Jingde, even with all eight of you family heads using the 'Eight Directions Divine Fire Mirror,' you couldn't deduce anything?"

He Jingde shook his head, but Lin Feng asked with a suspicious look, "Father, what is the 'Eight Directions Divine Fire Mirror'?"

He Jingde pondered for a moment and said, "The Eight Directions Divine Fire Mirror is a supreme divine object, left behind by an ancient god. It can receive divine revelations. It consists of eight Divine Fire Mirrors, namely the 'Golden Fire Token, Wood Fire Token, Water Fire Token, Fire Fire Token, Earth Fire Token, Heavenly Fire Token, Earthly Fire Token, and Human Fire Token,' and these eight Divine Fire Mirrors are held by our eight great cultivation families. Since the strange phenomenon appeared in the southeast a few days ago, our eight great cultivation families have simultaneously sensed some powerful beings. That's why we gathered the Eight Directions Divine Fire Mirrors to deduce it. The result is that the barriers of various spiritual domains have begun to show signs of loosening. Although there are no living beings in these spiritual domains, for a cultivator, absorbing the spiritual energy within the spiritual domains is undoubtedly icing on the cake, and their cultivation can be greatly improved."

Ding Jichun, the eldest elder of the Ding family, said, "That is true, but it is only useful if you have a certain level of cultivation. The spiritual energy in the various spiritual domains is of no use to an ordinary person. On the contrary, it may even kill you."

He Jingde nodded and said, "HX is a mixed bag, with various martial arts such as Shaolin, Tai Chi, Sanda, Taekwondo, Jeet Kune Do, etc. Although scholars cannot equate them with 'cultivating immortality and practicing Taoism,' they still prioritize 'martial arts.' If, under the influence of a certain medium, a certain potential of the human body is stimulated, any ordinary person will embark on the path of cultivating immortality and practicing Taoism."

Murong Jinshui nodded and said, "What Senior Brother Jingde said is absolutely right. This matter is of great importance and is no small matter."

He Jingde pondered for a moment and said, "How about this, Senior Brother Huacheng, I'll trouble you to go down the mountain yourself and investigate the background of this person named Chao Bufan. If he really embarked on the path of cultivation by chance, then let it go! If he comes from a certain family, then we'll have to meet that family."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. Murong Jinshui said, "Senior Brother Huacheng, I will go down the mountain with you to find this person. The rest of you can go back first and tell your families about this. We will inform everyone after we find this person."

"Alright, then I'll have to trouble Senior Brother Jinshui."

"Brother Jingde, you are too kind. This matter is of great importance, and it is only right that I go."

……

The next day, Chao Bufan finished his meditation and stood up. Just as he stepped out of the room, Baihe and the others returned, each carrying several large and small bags.

"Young master, you're here!"

Chao Bufan nodded and smiled, saying, "You're back."

"Well, I'm back."

Each of them was carrying large and small bags, which didn't seem like much at first glance, but when put together, it was quite a lot. Chao Bufan asked in surprise, "Lily, what did you all buy!"

Lily smiled slightly and said, "These are all things for us girls, like clothes and cosmetics! Young master, we've spent all our money!"
