Chapter 92 Blood-Coagulating Fruit

Zhou Chen clenched his right hand, and the note in his hand was crushed to pieces. "I'm going out for a while," then he got up and left the room. Xia Rong wanted to follow him, but Zhou Chen said directly, "Xiao Rong, you wait at home, I'll be back soon."

Afterwards, Zhou Chen went straight out of the county government office and left Qinghua County and headed towards Ping'an Village. He was very fast and arrived at Ping'an Village after twenty minutes.

After arriving in the village, Zhou Chen found it peaceful. The villagers were sitting together in groups of three or five, chatting. They didn't say much when they saw Zhou Chen, an outsider, entering the village. They just whispered a few words behind him after Zhou Chen left.

Zhou Chen patiently walked around the village. Then a guy came up to him stealthily. Zhou Chen gave him a cold look.

The guy was frightened by Zhou Chen's eyes, "Uncle Zhou, come with me," and then left without looking back. Zhou Chen followed him without saying a word.

The other party took Zhou Chen through many twists and turns and came to a yard. There was a table in the yard. A middle-aged man was sitting next to it drinking tea, and Wang Zhen was standing behind him, serving him carefully.

Seeing that this man's strength had reached over 900, Zhou Chen thought to himself, "It seems that the Wang family has some background, as they have so many masters." Not only this guy, but behind him, besides Wang Zhen, there are two others whose strength is above the seventh rank.

"Brother Zhou, you are here, please take a seat," he said, pouring a cup of tea for Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen did not hesitate to sit down opposite him and drank the tea in one gulp.

"Tell me, where is my wife?"
"Brother Zhou, don't worry, your wife is not here."

Seeing this, Zhou Chen slapped his hand, and the table broke into pieces instantly. The people behind the old man immediately grasped the hilts of the knives at their waists, and the next second the long knives were about to come out, but the old man waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.

"Don't be angry, we dare not do anything to Miss Leng. We treat Miss Leng as a VIP and we are not disrespectful at all."

"If I'm not mistaken, you are the head of the Wang family, right?"
"Yes, I am the head of the Wang family of this generation, Wang Hu."

Then Wang Hu explained the purpose of coming to see Zhou Chen. Simply put, he was impressed by Zhou Chen's ability and wanted to invite him to join the Wang family and become a guest of the Wang family.

Of course, the Wang family would not treat Zhou Chen unfairly. They would give him one hundred taels of silver every month, and also give him an herb that was beneficial to practitioners.

Zhou Chen narrowed his eyes and pretended not to know and said, "Don't lie to me, there is no herb in this world that can improve the cultivation of a warrior."

Wang Hu laughed and said, "Haha, there is a reason why my Wang family has been able to take root in Qinghua County for so long."

"This herb must be very precious. How do I know that your Wang family can guarantee that I can get that herb every month?"

Wang Hu patted his chest and said, "Don't worry about this. My Wang family naturally has a way to get these herbs. As long as you agree to join my Wang family, I will definitely not owe you the herbs I promised you."

These chips are indeed very attractive. Ordinary warriors would definitely be tempted, but Zhou Chen would not, because Zhou Chen does not need these things at all.

"Let me see my wife."

"As long as you agree to my request, you can go to see him anytime."

Hearing his words, Zhou Chen's eyes flashed with ferocity, but he didn't show it. Instead, he pondered for a while. Although he didn't need these herbs, Leng Yiyao did. "Okay, I promise you, but you have to give me a herb first. I want to see if it's really useful."

Wang Hu laughed and said, "I knew you would be suspicious." Then he took a box from Wang Zhen and handed it to Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen took the box, opened it, and found a strangely shaped red apple inside.

"This is a blood clotting fruit, you can take it directly." Zhou Chen did not take it directly, but put away the fruit and asked, "Can I see my wife now?"
Wang Hu directly threw a token to him and said, "With this token, you can enter and leave my Wang family at will. As for your wife, she is in the mansion now. When you go there, there will naturally be someone to lead the way for you."

After Zhou Chen took the token, he left directly. After Zhou Chen left, Wang Zhen behind him asked, "Master, you trust him so much, aren't you afraid that he will go back on his word?"
"What are you afraid of? I have already tampered with the blood-clotting fruit. As long as he dares to take it, he will."

He was not afraid that Zhou Chen would not eat it. After all, the effect of the blood-clotting fruit was there for everyone to see, and he did not believe that Zhou Chen would be able to resist the temptation.

After returning, Zhou Chen went directly to the Wang family. Just as Wang Hu said, after Zhou Chen showed the token, he was taken to Leng Yiyao. Also as Wang Hu said, they did not do anything to Leng Yiyao and were very nice to him.

"Yiyao, are you okay?"
Seeing Zhou Chen suddenly walk in, Leng Yiyao was also puzzled, "Brother Chen, why are you here? Didn't you leave Qinghua County for something?"
Zhou Chen frowned and said, "No, when did I leave?"
Leng Yiyao thought about it and realized that there was indeed a problem, and then told Zhou Chen what had happened before. It turned out that someone had told Leng Yiyao before that someone in the county government wanted to harm him and Zhou Chen, but fortunately Zhou Chen had already noticed it in advance.

Zhou Chen had already left Qinghua County, and he was the one sent by Zhou Chen to help her out of trouble. Leng Yiyao then secretly followed him and left while changing clothes.

Zhou Chen then told Leng Yiyao the true story. He also told her that he had joined the Wang family. Leng Yiyao asked worriedly, "They don't have any other intentions, why would they offer you such tempting conditions out of the blue?"

Zhou Chen ignored that for the time being and took Leng Yiyao away from the Wang family. As for the guest official matter, Zhou Chen just agreed to it but did not agree to stay in the Wang family forever.

The people from the Wang family did not stop Zhou Chen and the others from leaving. Zhou Chen arranged Leng Yiyao to stay in the county government office again. Seeing Leng Yiyao return safely, Xia Rong was relieved.

Zhou Chen went home alone and brought Xiaohu out. With Xiaohu by Leng Yiyao's side, Zhou Chen felt a lot more at ease.

Xia Rong was also very fond of Xiaohu when she saw him. Just when she was about to reach out and touch him, Xiaohu let out a hostile cry.

After hearing this, Xia Rong was stunned and cursed with a smile, "You little beast, you dare to be mean to me, I will teach you a lesson." As she said that, she was about to go forward and twist his ears. If Zhou Chen had not been present, he would probably have wanted to eat Xia Rong.

However, with Zhou Chen around, he didn't dare to act rashly and could only let the little girl carry him in her arms.

Zhou Chen had to go out with Zhao Kuo on patrol at night, so Xia Rong and Leng Yiyao slept together, and Xiaohu climbed on top of their heads to rest.

Late at night, Zhou Chen stood on a commanding height overlooking the entire Qinghua County. Many constables and soldiers were patrolling the streets.

Zhao Kuo was shuttling between the roofs of the city. Seeing that nothing was happening, Zhou Chen turned around and went to a dilapidated room and changed into a nightgown.

Then Zhou Chen quickly shuttled between the rooftops and soon arrived at Wang's house. Zhou Chen's purpose this time was very simple, which was to cause trouble. Since the Wang family was plotting against him, he could also plot against the Wang family.

When Zhou Chen returned home before, he asked Li Daoyi to take a look at the blood coagulation fruit. After seeing the blood coagulation fruit, the latter was also surprised and asked, "Where did you get the blood coagulation fruit?"
