To Lin Fan, fifty thousand points was an astronomical figure.
I guess I'll have to risk my life to earn more points.
I might be speechless at the start, but I did pretty well at the end.
I completed the mission out of the blue, and I even got an awesome skillset. I might need a lot of points to learn it, but I'm confident that I can get it as long as I work hard.
Lin Fan walked on the path.
"Aunty, where is this?" Lin Fan stood by the roadside and shouted at the aunty who was working in the fields.
The aunty looked at Lin Fan, stunned. "You came down from the mountain?"
"Yeah." Lin Fan nodded. "What's wrong? I came from far away, so I came down from the mountain. "
Lin Fan could tell from the aunty's expression that she was afraid of the evil cultivator on the mountain.
But it's a pity that the evil cultivator was killed by me.
"Did you meet anyone?" The aunty asked curiously.
"No, I'm alone. Aunty, you haven't told me where this is." Lin Fan shook his head.
"This is Ancient River Village …." The aunty said doubtfully.
Lin Fan waved his hand and walked forward. So this is Ancient River Village. I was going to go back after completing the mission, but it seems like I can't go back now.
Now that this was a skill, if he didn't gather enough points to comprehend it, he would definitely not be able to get his thoughts straight.
The aunty, who was initially worried and confused, looked at Lin Fan's back. She calmed down, but her eyes shone with contemplation.
Not long later.
Lin Fan saw rows of houses. This must be Ancient River Village. It wasn't a big place, with at most a hundred houses. There weren't many young people here, and most of them were old.
Lin Fan looked around, but he didn't find anything strange.
"Lord, are you from the Magnificent Flame Sect?" Just as Lin Fan was looking around, an old man appeared in front of him.
The old man held a walking stick in his hand, and he looked kind and peaceful.
"Yes, and you are?" Lin Fan asked curiously.
"This old man is the village chief of Ancient River Village, Bai Shi. Your excellency has come from afar to visit Ancient River Village. Please come in and have a seat." The village chief said slowly. His expression was filled with respect.
In the house.
"Why aren't there any young people in the village?" Lin Fan asked curiously.
White Stone said, "Sir, the young people in the village have all left, leaving only the old and the young here. Usually, very few people come here. Sir, you are the first outsider to come to Ancient River Village during this period."
"Oh, do you know anyone in Fengshan Camp?" Lin Fan asked.
White Stone smiled and shook his head. "Lord, Fengshan Camp has been empty for a long time. It used to be a den of bandits, but the Magnificent Flame Sect sent disciples to wipe out the bandits and saved our village."
Then, the village chief did not say anything more. He stood up and said, "Please wait for a moment, my lord. I will instruct someone to prepare a sumptuous feast for you."
"It's alright." Lin Fan waved his hands. As a Magnificent Flame Sect disciple, how could he be a freeloader?
"It's no trouble at all. Please wait a moment, my lord. The village chief stood at the door and smiled at Lin Fan. Then, he looked at the door and left.
…
Not too far away from Ancient River Village, a pair of eyes had been staring at this place. When they saw Lin Fan, they left immediately.
Outside Fengshan Fort.
"Senior Brother Yuan, that guy has appeared in Ancient River Village. He seems to have come down from Fengshan Stronghold. It seems like he has completed his mission."
Yuan Tianjun was stunned and in disbelief. "How is that possible? We are not slow. How could he have arrived before us? But it doesn't matter anymore. Did you say that he has entered Ancient River Village?"
"Yes, he entered Ancient River Village and was received by the Village Chief. He was led into a house."
"According to my investigation, this village is very strange. It is different from the sect's investigation. There is not a single young person in the village. They are all old, weak, and disabled. The strangest one is the village chief, White Stone."
Yuan Tianjun nodded. His Junior Brother's analysis made sense. "Alright, continue watching him. Let's see what happens to him in the end."
"Yes."
…
Ancient River Village.
"It's a Magnificent Flame Sect disciple, what should we do?"
"Should we kill him?"
"I don't think it's necessary. He looks like a fool. He must have come to Fengshan Fort to complete the sect's mission. That Jiang Gu was stupid enough to be killed."
"Prepare some food. I will send him out of the village after he is done eating. Don't alert him."
…
Lin Fan sat in the house, waiting. He felt that the village was lifeless. It was an indescribable feeling.
Just as he was thinking about this, Village Chief White Stone walked in with a tray in his hands.
Looking at all these delicacies, Lin Fan's heart was thumping furiously. It had been a long time since he had a good meal ever since he came out of that place.
The people of Ancient River Village are really nice. Lin Fan's impression of them has increased.
"Aiya, you are too kind." Lin Fan's heart was filled with happiness. His hands didn't stop moving as he picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
White Stone sat there. Every time Lin Fan lowered his head, a creepy smile would appear on his face. But when Lin Fan lifted his head, the smile would change into a peaceful one.
After a hearty meal.
Lin Fan took out some money from his storage ring to pay for the meal.
"Thank you for your hospitality. I will not stay any longer." Lin Fan only had one thought in his mind, and that was to look for beasts as soon as possible.
I need to accumulate more points.
White Stone stood up. "Lord, are you not going to stay a little longer?"
Lin Fan waved his hands. "No, I have something to do. It's tiring to travel all the way."
There was no one at the entrance of the village.
White Stone followed behind Lin Fan.
"Village chief, you don't have to send me off. You can go back." Lin Fan waved his hands.
"Of course, of course. This way, Lord." White Stone smiled as he followed behind Lin Fan. At the same time, he stared at Lin Fan's head, as if he was thinking about something.
Lin Fan shuddered. For some reason, he felt a little uncomfortable being stared at from the back.
"Milord, this old man will see you off here," White Stone said.
Hearing this, Lin Fan heaved a sigh of relief. ~ Scary. If I continue to send him off, who knows how long he will be staring at me? ~
"Alright. Thank you, Village chief. Goodbye." Lin Fan said and walked forward.
White Stone looked at the gradually disappearing figure and twisted his neck, muttering to himself with a creaking sound.
"Seems like I was thinking too much."
