Chapter 1190

There were rows upon rows of shops on both sides of the street, and commoners were hurrying to and fro.

There were all sorts of food stalls, and fragrances wafted out, causing one's appetite to be whetted.

In the distance, there was a pot-bellied old master on an eight-carrier sedan, as well as a scholar and a rich young lady on their first date.

The six of them stood in the crowd, and the bearers brushed past them, emitting the stench of sweat from a day's work.

Not far away, at the entrance of a brothel, the sounds of laughter could be heard, and gorgeously dressed women were fighting to attract customers.

"Little doggy, don't run!"

"Woof woof!"

A little boy with a childish voice passed by Gu Chen and the rest, laughing as he chased after a dirty greyhound in front of him.

Everything was too real.

Everyone looked at each other. This stage, which was filled with the aura of a marketplace, was very different from the previous stages. They could not even determine the method to pass this stage.

"This stage is a little interesting, maybe the Sky Emperor's hint is hidden here."

Fang Wen looked around and said with a smile.

Gu Chen and the rest did not reply, but they were thinking the same thing in their hearts.

This stage was too different from the previous stages, and they could not help but look forward to it.

"Blind bastards, my old master is on a journey, how dare you block his way?"

Just as everyone was looking around, the old master on an eight-carrier sedan arrived in front of them, and the fawning butler loudly reprimanded Gu Chen and the rest.

Everyone quietly made way, and did not go over to teach this group of people a lesson.

The test of this stage was not clear, and the best choice was to wait and see.

Seeing the six of them making way, the butler laughed coldly, and ordered the servants to carry the sedan forward.

"Hehe, don't run! Don't run! Aiya! "

The little boy who was chasing after the little dog ran over, and accidentally fell in front of the sedan.

"You little beggar who was born without a father to raise you, get out of my way!"

The butler was instantly dissatisfied, and took out a whip, and lashed out.

The little boy was whipped until his flesh was lacerated. The little grey dog immediately stopped and bared its teeth at the housekeeper, barking non-stop.

"Yo, where did this wild dog come from, beat it to death!"

The housekeeper was startled by the little greyhound. He felt that he had lost face and ordered the servants.

A few servants were about to act when a young scholar stood up with a strong sense of righteousness.

"Stop! Why make life difficult for a child and a puppy? Aren't you afraid of ruining Lord Fan's status? "

Many passersby were already dissatisfied with the domineering butler, so they started to speak up.

"That's right. You even bully a child. How unbecoming!"

"The road doesn't belong to you. What right do you have to bully us like this?"

Seeing that many people were criticizing him, the housekeeper's face immediately turned red, and he forcefully explained, "Who doesn't know that more than half of the shops on this street belong to my master? Do you have any objections? "

"Housekeeper Liu, that's enough. Don't be calculative with a child."

At this moment, the old master on the palanquin spoke. His expression was somewhat gloomy.

He was taking a nap when he was woken up by the movements around him.

He didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Housekeeper Liu's actions, but the scholar's words put him in a difficult position.

Indeed, wasn't it shameful for Fan Jin to argue with a little beggar and a stray dog?

"Yes, Lord. This lowly one understands."

Housekeeper Liu had a servile expression on his face as he hurriedly agreed and let the puppy and the little boy off.

"Poor scholar, just you wait."

Before he left, he glared fiercely at the scholar who spoke up for him. Clearly, the enmity between them had been formed.

The crowd on the street quickly dispersed. Everyone had to work hard to make a living. What happened just now was just a very common interlude in this ordinary little city.

"Did anyone manage to see anything?"

The six of them had witnessed the entire incident. Fang Wen asked with a smile.

The five of them shook their heads. Just now, they had all used their Heaven's Eyes and other similar techniques in an attempt to pry into the mysteries of this stage. The result was that everything in this small city was too normal. The only thing that caught their attention was the conflict between the scholar and the Old Master.

However, such a small conflict between mortals shouldn't be the key to passing this stage, right?

"What about you? Did you discover anything? "Gu Chen looked at Fang Wen.

"From the looks of it, there is nothing special here," Fang Wen replied. Clearly, he had not discovered anything either.

"Since no one has discovered anything, let's move around and understand the situation in this world. Perhaps we can find some ideas to pass this stage," Gu Chen suggested.

"Everyone, pay close attention to the situation of the old master and the scholar. These two people coincidentally appeared in front of us and started a conflict. They might be the key to passing this stage," Fang Wen muttered.

No one had any objections to this. Very quickly, they spread out and moved around this small city.

After half a day, everyone had a rough understanding of this small city.

This city was called Peach Blossom City. The richest person in the city was the old master they had met before, Fan Jin. As for the scholar, he was a depressed and unsuccessful scholar.

Rumor had it that the scholar was in love with the daughter of the Wang Clan. He wanted to wait until he passed the imperial examinations before marrying her.

This kind of melodramatic love story between the poor scholar was very ordinary. Everyone could not help but think that the development of the plot would definitely be that the two of them could not be together for some reason.

Aside from the sordid story of the poor scholar, the most eye-catching thing was Fan Jin's exploitation of the villagers.

He was the tyrant of Peach Blossom City. On the surface, he exploited the villagers and snatched away their women.

This world was excessively simple. The struggle between immortals and gods had nothing to do with it. The biggest topic of conversation among the villagers after their meals was how many concubines Master Fan had taken and whether or not the poor scholar would be able to pass the imperial examinations.

After Gu Chen and the others gathered again and shared the information they had gathered, they were all confused.

What exactly was this stage testing?

"We have already checked and found no way out. This Peach Blossom City is actually isolated from the world. Based on the situation of this world, if we do not take the initiative to make a move, we will be trapped in this ordinary city forever. "

Fang Wen came to a conclusion.

"Take the initiative to make a move? How are we going to make a move? There is not even a single monster. "

Zuo Chunqiu mocked with narrowed eyes.

"This Peach Blossom City looks ordinary, but the story revolves around that Master Fan and the poor scholar. Since that is the case, let's make a move on them."

Fang Wen took a step forward and headed straight for Master Fan's residence in the city.

Gu Chen and the others followed behind without batting an eyelid, wanting to see what Fang Wen was going to do.

Fang Wen barged into Master Fan's courtyard. At this moment, Master Fan was working hard on his new concubine.

Fang Wen's barge startled the concubine into screaming. Master Fan demanded angrily, "Who are you? Who gave you the courage to barge in?! "
