Starting from the exit of the night market, the number of pedestrians on the street gradually increased.

Based on his memories of the last time, Ye Chen browsed the stalls on both sides of the street while walking towards the old man's position.

Soon, he walked through the bustling crowd and came to that place.

But what made him feel a little helpless was that the old man did not show up and the stall was not there.

Instead, a grocery vendor stood in front of a wide range of goods and accompanied the smiling face to sell to pedestrians.

With Ye Chen's mental power, it is impossible to remember the wrong position.

And if the old man changed the stall, the end of the night market was not far ahead, and everything could not escape his eyes.

‘Did the old man got 100,000 gold soul coins from me and gave up his business and went to have fun?’ Ye Chen chuckled and shook his head, not caring too much.

After all, there are many people on the mainland who have become rich overnight and retired with money after getting rich.

One hundred thousand gold soul coins are enough to make the old man care about the rest of his wealth, so why do he still have to travel outside?

No longer thinking about it, seeing that there was nothing useful to me, Yechen took a few steps and came to the restaurant.

Looking at the only modern building in the town, Ye Chen took a deep breath and walked in.

He was still a little nervous, not sure if he could get the answer for this trip.

But the moment Ye Chen stepped into the hall, he was stunned.

I saw an old man who was about to die, sitting upright on the chair at the front desk, staring at the door with a bright look.

However, when he visited the first two times, the girl who received him did not appear.

This old man was encountered by Ye Chen more than half a year ago when he went to the extreme north for the second time.

At that time, he walked out of the secret realm of the Laurel. Without saying a word, the other party carried him in his hand and brought him to Xingluo City.

No wonder Ye Chen's emotions fluctuate. This person is Zi Kun, whom Mr. Mu said.

His current clothes are exactly the same as when Ye Chen first met him.

He was wearing a shabby straw raincoat and a wide fisherman's hat made of animal skin. If the other party had not been in the direction where Ye Chen was, he might not have recognized it immediately.

Zikun's eyes were even more turbid than Mr. Mu, and they were completely close to gray, and looked extremely scattered.

At dinner time, there were a lot of people at the entrance of the restaurant, but Ye Chen always felt that he was the only one in the other person's eyes.

‘It seems that he knew I was coming and was waiting here specifically.’ Ye Chen thought.

This is the closest time he has been to those puzzles, not just everything that happened in the extreme north, but also his own life experience, the secret of the magic stone, and so on.

Ye Chen believed that as long as the other party was willing to tell him, the fog that shrouded in his heart would definitely be lifted more than half.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and walked slowly towards the front desk.

Every step I take seems to be closer to the answer, over the past decade.

Ye Chen has never been as nervous as he is today. This distance of less than twenty meters can be passed in a few seconds.

But in his heart, it was as long as centuries.

"Senior Zikun, it's been a long time since we met." Finally, Ye Chen walked to the other party and bowed.

Anyway, the other party was obviously older than him and knew Mr. Mu.

Ye Chen did this and did not want to discredit the image of the academy.

Just looking at the surface, Zikun is no different from everyone in the town, both of whom are expressionless.

However, when Ye Chen came to the front and back of his body, his turbid gaze suddenly became a little brighter. He nodded and said, "Have you been to the extreme north?"

In just a few short words, Ye Chen's previous judgment was instantly confirmed. The other party's note was indeed a reminder.

"Ye Chen frowned slightly and looked around.

Zikun seemed to see his concerns and said, "Don't worry, they can't hear our conversation."

A light words revealed an invisible domineering aura. Even Ye Chen had to admit that the old man's strength may not be as strong as Mr. Mu.

At least we must be equal to Mr. Mu.

"Senior, are you reminding me that there is not much time left?" Ye Chen hesitated for a moment and suddenly went straight to the point.

Talk to smart people is always simple, without those twists and turns, just a simple sentence, which makes it easy to understand your meaning.

"Don't you already have the answer?"

His words were equivalent to indirectly acknowledging Ye Chen’s problem.

"Have you got the sacred tree?" Zikun asked again

Ye Chen was shocked after hearing this. Zi Kun seemed to know everything about him.

This feeling of being controlled by others really made him feel a little depressed.

"You mean laurel? You've got it." Ye Chen did not intend to hide it.

Before leaving this trip, Mr. Mu once said to him, "No matter whether it is me or Zikun, I will do my best to help you, even if I give my life."

Even though Ye Chen didn't trust the other party, he had 100% trust in Mr. Mu.

"Laurel Tree? The sacred tree originally had such a name..." Zikun's body shook slightly, and he slowly stood up and walked out of the front desk.

Ye Chen was also a little surprised when he heard the other party talking to himself.

He originally speculated that Zikun came from a world outside Douluo, which had something to do with his life experience.

But now he personally denied this idea. If that were the case, the other party must have known the name of the laurel, but the facts were exactly the opposite.

This situation instantly made things more complicated.

Seeing that the other party seemed to be in deep thought, Ye Chen thought about it and decided to ask in a simple and clear manner: "I want to know what the relationship between Senior Zikun and me, and why did he help me again and again?"

After hearing this, Zikun's wrinkled face turned towards Ye Chen and fell into silence.

Ye Chen didn't urge him, and it was useless to know that some things were urgent.

In the end, Zikun did not answer his question, but waved and walked slowly towards the stairs.

Ye Chen naturally followed without hesitation. The other party walked to the stairs and stopped, handed it to him with his right hand, where there was a restaurant room key.

Having been here twice, Ye Chen was very familiar with the key. When he reached out to take it, he was a little confused about what the other party meant.

"You go upstairs to rest first. Some things are not suitable to tell you now. In three days, you can go to sea with Wu Yong and others. There is still something waiting for you there." Zikun sighed and explained.

For some reason, Ye Chen always felt a hint of unbearableness and helplessness in the other party's tone.

But he was not very sure about the other party's concealment.

Moreover, Ye Chen finally understood why Wu Yong knew his name. It seemed that Zikun had greeted him in advance.

Before he could continue asking, Zikun spoke again: "After all, you are too weak now. After returning from the sea, go back. When your cultivation reaches the fifth ring, Moon will tell you something."
