Cultivation Began Three Years Ago

The old district in the south of the city, Hua'an Street.

Standing under the sun, Xu Che took a look at the Deadwood Tavern from a distance, and was relieved to find that it was intact.

Walking in along the dark portal, the originally deserted area has long since disappeared, replaced by the sound of talking and laughing.

An old man in the store was sitting in front of the bar, holding a book of comics and reading with relish, his body was filled with a faintly demonic aura.

Man Hai is by the phone, seems to be communicating with someone, talking non-stop, his face sometimes helpless, sometimes serious.

Jiajia, a white-haired girl, sat obediently on the wine table, staring intently at the video game in her hand, having a great time playing it.

As for Old Man Wang, while drinking wine, he played chess with Chang Yuan.

"Tap-tap-tap"

The sound of slight footsteps caught everyone's attention. When they looked up, they saw a young man with a soft face.

"My lord? We meet again. This old man is here, arranged by the demon general, to be stationed in the city to protect the young master."

The negative mountain turtle put down the comic book in his hand, stood up and saluted respectfully.

"Brother?! You're back?!"

Man Hai was overjoyed, and hung up the phone without caring about the long-winded words on the other end.

"Hey, boy, why did you come back, everyone is very worried about you these days!"

Old man Wang slapped his thigh, and stopped playing chess. He quickly stepped forward, pulled the young man to sit down, and quickly filled him with a large bowl of turbid wine.

"Big brother?!"

When Jiajia saw Xu Che, she stopped for a moment. She was a little introverted, and she didn't know what to say at the moment.

"It's good to see that everyone is fine."

Xu Che was quite emotional, Jia Jia's eyes were a little red, she walked over blankly, and she was about to cry, "Big big brother, when will little big brother come back?"

Seeing the people in this room, the young man probably understood the ins and outs of the matter, he smiled lightly and rubbed the girl's white hair.

"He came back with me."

As soon as the words fell, Xu Che took out the charm from his bosom, and a burst of abundant blood immediately poured into it.

Countless black shadows entwine, and in the dark purple light, a familiar figure gradually appeared.

Not surprisingly, the dharma body returned smoothly, like a newborn, not a single speck of dust on his body, let alone any scars, the eyes were indifferent to the past, but there was a subtle softness.

"Little big brother?!" Jiajia burst into tears, and an unspeakable emotion welled up in her heart.

"It's okay, I'm fine, little guy," Dharmakaya said calmly.

The people around who saw this scene were extremely horrified to find that the appearance of the two of them seemed to be rubbed out of the same mold. Without the diametrically opposite aura, they would have no way of distinguishing who is the real body.

"Brother, by the way, I have something for you."

Suddenly, at this moment, Man Hai grabbed the backpack at the corner of the table, searched for a letter, and handed it over.

"Huh? This is?" Xu Che accepted it somewhat unexpectedly.

"It was sent from overseas. It just arrived last night. The signature is your name, and the address is a tavern. I guess it should be given to you by He Bo."

Man Hai explained that these days, he didn't leave the tavern very often, and kept helping with the tavern's trivial matters, answering countless calls from customers.

Some asked to rescue missing relatives, some commissioned the assassination of the enemy, and some commissioned the investigation of special news about alien creatures.

However, the tavern where Dharmakaya, Xu Che, and He Bo were not present was currently closed. Even though the other party offered high rewards, Man Hai still refused.

Xu Che slowly opened the letter paper, the handwriting on it was smooth, neat and simple, it was undoubtedly written by He Bo.

"Xiao Xu, when you read this letter, I can no longer go back to Chi Xia."

"I am on the other side of the ocean far away. Here is an old friend who needs my protection very much. Well, she is probably the only person I care about in this world."

"After more than seventy years, she has become the top person in charge of a certain experimental base. Recently, ancient ruins have been revived all over the world. However, as the chief investigator of excavation and investigation, her safety is in great danger. Opportunistic raids from all sides."

"In order to ensure her life is safe, I should be trapped in a dark place with her for a long time."

"As for the tavern, it's a pity that when we parted, I didn't even have time to say goodbye to everyone in a hurry."

"Now, I officially gift the tavern to you. As the new owner, you have the right to decide everything."

"Finally, I wish you and everyone safe forever."

"Zhou He wrote it himself, here it is."

Xu Che looked away from the letter paper, and said calmly: "It is indeed from He Bo."

He thought for a while, and chose to tell everyone about it: "Everyone, make an announcement."

"From now on, He Bo will not come back, and I, Xu Che, will be the new owner of this tavern."

"As for your going or staying, I will not interfere, it all depends on your preferences."

"What?!" Several hunters were very surprised, they didn't expect the change to come so suddenly.

"Old He, he's not coming back?"

Old man Wang seemed to think of something old, couldn't help sighing, and quickly accepted the fact.

Both Man Hai and Zhang Yuan showed a look of disappointment, and the puzzled words clearly came to their lips, but they still couldn't utter them.

For the old man's choice, they chose to respect it, but did not ask why. As hunters, as long as there are missions to perform, it is enough, and other affairs, due to their special status, it is not easy for them to intervene more.

"I always believe in fate, Mr. He, there should be a chance to see you again, everyone."

Xu Che comforted them. At the same time, he felt a little lonely in his heart. This old man had helped him a lot in the early years.

Now they are far apart, if there is another chance to meet, he really wants to have a drink and talk with the old man.

After a moment of distraction, Xu Che looked sideways at Man Hai and said:

"Brother, can I trouble you to handle the entrustment in the store for me? I will pay you the commission you should have normally."

"Brother, you are welcome. If you need help, I will naturally be willing to meet those guests for you."

Man Hai agreed to the request, and then Xu Che asked the mountain turtle, "Xiong Mang only arranged for you to stay here alone?"

"No, the envoys of Thunder-Thunning Mountain and Xueyu Mountain are all dormant in the city, waiting for the safety of the young master."

"I'll wait for three people to take turns on duty, my lord."

Xu Che nodded slightly, and told it: "From now on, you can just stay here and assist Brother Man in dealing with the affairs of the store. If there are unnecessary troubles, I will trouble you to deal with them."

He believed that with the cultivation of the late stage of the negative mountain turtle transformation, it was enough to overwhelm the entire capital, even if the so-called martial arts family and underground forces joined forces, they would not be able to resist.

"It's my lord." The old man replied in a deep voice.
