Chapter 65: Saving people? Harming people?
After getting out of the underground cave, Geng Xuan returned to the tunnel under Changpingfang that had been sealed at both ends.

Many packages are piled up here.

These were all the spoils that Geng Xuan had collected after searching corpses and looting the Dingxingtang stronghold.

Time was tight and the task was heavy, so he had no time to count carefully. He just packed up and took away everything that was valuable and appealing to him.

The most "excessive" thing was that after going around the main room, study, practice room, and bedroom, Geng Xuan, who was still not satisfied, went around the kitchen again, and finally carried out several heavy packages from there and into the underground tunnel.

If you say the things in these packages are valuable, they are worth some money, but compared to this "big harvest", they are just a drizzle and not worth mentioning at all.

But Geng Xuan seemed to be addicted to "robbery" and never got tired of it.

In the dim tunnel, Geng Xuan's eyes swept over the many packages on the ground, and finally, he carefully picked one out.

The package was heavy. Geng Xuan picked it up in his hand and left the place quickly without staying any longer.

Soon, Geng Xuan returned to the underground space beneath his own courtyard that he had dug with his own hands.

He put the package aside, revealing two wine jars sealed with ink inside.

The seals all showed signs of being punctured. This was one of the things Geng Xuan found in the training room when he looted the Dingxingtang stronghold.

He also broke the seal with his own hands. When he smelled the aroma of wine wafting out of it, Geng Xuan immediately realized that this was a good thing like the tiger bone, deer ginseng wine, and bear heart and leopard gall wine.

To strengthen the foundation, nourish the vital energy and blood, and improve the cultivation level quickly, such resources are the most indispensable.

This is exactly what he needs now.

Now, he has more luck than ever before, and what he lacks most is this kind of resources.

Putting down the two wine jars, Geng Xuan came to the sink, took off all his clothes, took water and scrubbed himself from head to toe over and over again until there was no trace of odor. Then he went into the basement and took a set of clean clothes to change into.

Then, he entered the tunnel he had dug himself, returned to the ground from a secret exit on the other side of the river, and came to the river bank.

Compared with the muddy, turbulent river that was thirty or forty meters wide a month or two ago, the river before us has completely changed.

The water has become very clear. From the shore you can see areas one or two meters deep underwater, and the width has shrunk to less than twenty meters.

The flow rate also slowed down, just like a violent and rough man gradually changing into a gentle and quiet virgin.

According to my previous memory, this river will continue to "shrink". When the water level is at its shallowest, people can wade across many sections of the river by rolling up their pants until next summer.

However, even though the water level has not yet dropped to its lowest point, in the river channel that is more than ten meters wide, some stone piles protruding from the water surface can be seen. Most of them were erected by the residents of Changpingfang to facilitate travel.

Geng Xuan leaped forward, landed on a few stone pillars, and reached the other side of the river.

As the river water became clearer, the amount of water became much smaller. The river channel with a drop of ten meters, when the water flow was at its peak, could form an independent small world under the abundant water flow, but now it is mostly exposed to the outside world.

The exit of the tunnel that Geng Xuan dug with his bare hands here has been sealed and restored by himself, except for a hidden air hole.

……

Today was one of the earliest times that Geng Xuan came back since he went into the mountains to practice.

When he got home, it was still around 6pm and the sky was still bright.

After returning home, he rarely made any new plans for himself. Instead, he moved a chair to the yard and lay down on it as if he had no bones, staring at the sky full of fiery clouds in a daze.

Seeing Chen Xiaoyu craning her neck to look over here from the opposite courtyard, he waved at her.

Soon Chen Xiaoyu came running over.

"You're back so early today? I thought you wouldn't be back until after dark again."

Geng Xuan said: "I just listened to your father."

"?" Chen Xiaoyu looked at him curiously with eyes wide open, as if she didn't understand what this had to do with her father.

"Your father said that you need to have a balance between tension and relaxation in cultivation. You can't be too tense. You need to give yourself a break occasionally."

Geng Xuan just hung out with Chen Xiaoyu in the yard and didn't feel bored at all.

Before I knew it, an hour had passed and the sky had become much darker.

Geng Xuan and Chen Xiaoyu turned their heads to look into the distance. Two figures turned a corner and walked towards them quickly, one in front and one behind.

"Father, Brother!"

Chen Xiaoyu screamed in surprise, immediately threw Geng Xuan aside and ran out.

These two people were none other than Chen Rongshan and his son Chen Zheng.

Soon, the two came to the small path between the two courtyards. Chen Zheng, who was walking behind, had Chen Xiaoyu hanging on his body.

Geng Xuan greeted:
"Uncle Chen, you're back so early today?

Brother Zheng, you are back too?"

In response to Geng Xuan's greeting, Chen Zheng simply nodded.

If it were someone else, they would definitely think that this person is too arrogant and too disrespectful to themselves.

But Geng Xuan already knew that this guy was just like that. Not only was he like that to himself, he was also like that to his family.

But he is actually a very good person. The tidal breathing technique that helped me enter the second stage of body tempering was learned from him for free.

Chen Rongshan said to Geng Xuan:
"Ah Xuan, you are back too?
That's great, come over and have a chat."

Geng Xuan was curious: "Uncle Chen, what happened?"

Chen Rongshan nodded seriously, "There's been a big commotion at Kangleji again, and it's likely to be chaotic for a while. If nothing else, you'd better not go to Kangleji for the next while."

"Ah? There's a big commotion again? Is there something wrong with Kangleji? Why is it so restless every other day?!" Geng Xuan said in surprise.

……

Chen's living room.

"...

Among the six children, in addition to the one who was lost in Yong'anfang, there was another child who was also from a nearby neighborhood. He was immediately recognized by the people in his neighborhood and was immediately protected by the guards of the two neighborhoods. "

Having said that, Chen Rongshan couldn't help but turn his head to look at Chen Xiaoyu next to him, his face full of relief.

Geng Xuan asked curiously:

"Only two of them were from the neighborhood? So, the other four were all from Kangleji?
But this isn’t right. Four children were missing from Kangleji, so why is there no news at all?

What about their families? Are they not even as good as a woman? ! "

The "woman" that Geng Xuan was talking about was naturally the woman who ran around the streets of Kangleji because she lost her child that day, and finally demanded that Chen Rongshan and others return her child.

Chen Rongshan sighed and said:
“The situation here… well… there are three children who are indeed born in Kangleji. Before this big reshuffle, they were all very influential families in Kangleji.

With the sudden death of the previous chief, Kangleji fell into chaos, many people died, and many families lost their power.

This includes the homes of these three children!

One of the children was the most miserable. There was no one left in his family. Everyone was dead, not a single one was left.

Now that he is back, I don’t know whether his luck is good or bad.”

At the end, Chen Rongshan expressed his emotion.

For this child, Kangleji is the real "enemy territory".

On the contrary, "Wuyou Palace" might really be his only chance.

If you can become one of the lucky half, you might be able to rise to the top overnight and stage a "Prince's Revenge" in the future.

Now, this slim chance was completely gone because of the unexpected rescue.

So, is this salvation, or is it really falling into the abyss?
Geng Xuan was silent.
