ninety thousand miles

Chapter 580 Sneaky
After they returned, the Feather Tribe in the settlement had already started to bang the ground and chant. Seeing them return, several Feather Tribe magicians came out from the crowd, surrounded them, and chanted around them.

"Anyone who stays outside during the day will be like this when they come back," Yu Chen explained to them.

"Okay." Li Chuan didn't care too much.

"I understand." Jiang Mei expressed her understanding.

Wen Guying looked at the sky without comment.

After the mages chanted the spell three times around them, they nodded to Yu Chen and dispersed, returning to their original positions.

After Li Chuan and the other three arrived at their residence, Yu Chen said goodbye to them and said, "You guys have a good rest. I'm going to go to the head of the Yu clan."

"You go ahead, I'll go back and take a nap." Li Chuan said.

"Okay, I'll come find you when we're ready to leave," said Yu Chen.

Li Chuan pushed open the door and walked in. There was no light in the room, it was dark, but he could hear the snoring. After his eyes adjusted to the darkness, he looked inside and saw Lao Xiaokai sleeping in a ball.

When Li Chuan approached, he smelled alcohol.

Pang San woke up first. He shook his eyes and said, "Brother, you're back." Then, Tongs grabbed a handful of Gong Er's hair. Gong Er shook for a moment and muttered, "What time is it?" Then he opened his eyes and stood up when he saw Li Chuan. "Brother, why am I drunk?"

"It's daytime now," Li Chuan yawned and looked towards Lao Xiaokai, meeting Lao Xiaokai's gaze.

Lao Xiaokai laughed awkwardly and explained, "We couldn't leave the house at night, so we were bored staying inside. It just so happened that the family who treated my leg gave me a pottery jar of wine, so we opened it and drank it. Unexpectedly, after one bowl, we got drunk."

He asked, "Is it daytime now?"

Li Chuan said angrily: "Listen to the sound outside. I don't believe you didn't hear it."

Lao Xiaokai sat up and said, "I'll go and warm up the medicine for you. Do you want to sleep for a while?"

Li Chuan rubbed his eyes and said, "I'm going to sleep for a while." He turned to look at Wen Guying and Jiang Mei and said, "What about you guys?"

"Let's take a rest too." Jiang Mei saw that Li Chuan was very sleepy and said, "Just go to sleep and don't worry about anything else."

"Yeah." Li Chuan lay down with his eyes closed while wearing his clothes, and soon fell into a deep sleep. He had many dreams, all of which were strange and fragmented. He was pulled by these fragments, and felt his body getting heavier and heavier, and more and more tired.

Finally he woke up.

The room was dark and quiet.

Are they all out? What's that smell? Something's burning? He sat up and saw a figure walking towards him. When he got closer, the figure stretched out a hand, "Are you awake? Take the medicine."

Li Chuan did not take the bowl. He asked, "Did you burn the medicine?"

"I forgot the time while watching the fun. It's okay. You can drink. It won't affect the properties of the medicine." Lao Xiaokai sat down next to him and said, "Drink it. You'll be more energetic after drinking it. We'll be leaving soon."

Li Chuan took the bowl, smelled it, and found it hard to swallow. He asked, "Where are the others?"

"They are all outside. Just now, your second and third brothers were practicing sword skills outside, and a few half-demons from the Feather Clan saw them and wanted to compete with them. So the two Taoist priests from Wenjiang took out their magic weapons as a prize, and when the leader of the Feather Clan saw it, he also took out his treasure. That's how the competition started." Lao Xiaokai said.

"Who won?" Li Chuan asked.

"I came back without seeing the results. Shall we go out and take a look now?" Lao asked with a smile.

No wonder the medicine became burnt.

"When I came back, Gong Er had already come down, and Pang San was still there." Lao Xiaokai said, "The participants from the Feather Tribe are all half-demons whose bloodlines have not yet awakened, so the strength is about 50-50. Gong Er and Pang San had the blessing of magic weapons, so they originally had a slight advantage, but Gong Er was careless and fell into a trap, so he came down early."

Lao laughed and said, "When I first met these two little demons, they couldn't even maintain their human form. But in just three years, they can fight half-demons on equal terms. Although their bloodline hasn't awakened, they can't be underestimated. It's really not easy."

Li Chuan raised his head and drank the medicine in one gulp. His stomach churned, but he resisted the urge to vomit. After putting down the bowl, he said, "Let's go and take a look."

"Let's go." Lao smiled and said. After walking out, Li Chuan found that the sky was very cloudy. He said, "Is it going to rain?"

"I can't get down for now." Lao said with a smile. He pointed in a direction and said, "It's right there."

Li Chuan looked over there and saw that there were indeed many people gathered there.

They walked towards the crowd. After walking a few steps, Li Chuan asked Lao Xiaokai: "What did you do during the white night?"

To Li Chuan's surprise, Lao Xiaokai did not make any excuses this time.

Lao Xiaokai said, "I told them I wanted to go out and take a look, but they thought I wanted to escape. I had no choice but to use some tricks. Yesterday during the day, I seemed to see a half-demon from the Ruiling tribe here. I wanted to confirm it."

Li Chuan was a little speechless and said, "What's wrong with having a half-demon from the Ruiling tribe? It's even worse that you're sneaking around the settlement all day long, right?"

Lao Xiaokai said, "I'm not sneaky. If I meet someone, I'll just say I can't sleep and go out for a walk. I won't go to places that are guarded by people."

"So what did you find out?" Li Chuan asked.

At this time, Lao Xiao opened the suspense and said, "Did you believe what Chief Yu said on the first day we arrived here?"

"What?" Li Chuan asked.

"It's about the half-demon tribe's unrecorded accounts of the past." Lao said with a smile.

"What's the problem?" Li Chuan asked.

Lao Xiaokai said, "The Ruiling tribe is responsible for the sacrifice. As far as I know, they know the earliest half-demon characters. So other tribes may not know, but the Ruiling tribe cannot."

"And ah..." He dragged out his tone slightly, "I feel that the relationship between Yu Chen and Chief Yu is not as harmonious as we see."

"Just believe in conspiracy theories," Li Chuan said.

"You don't care?" Lao asked him with a smile.

"I'm not really concerned," Li Chuan admitted. He said, "The affairs of the half-demon tribe must be very complicated. How can I, an outsider, figure it out in such a short time? I just hope that they can cooperate a little and provide some clues, and not cause more trouble."

"That may not be the case." Lao said with a smile.

"Just think of something good." Li Chuan said.

"I'll keep an eye on it for you." Lao said with a smile.

"Okay." Li Chuan agreed.

"Do you feel better?" Lao asked with a smile.

"It seems to be better." Li Chuan replied.

As they were talking, they walked into the crowd. Li Chuan looked inside from the gap and saw Pang San standing in the circle, holding an iron sword, fighting back and forth with a half-demon.

The half-demon kept attacking Pang San from tricky angles, but Pang San always seemed to be able to anticipate it one step ahead.

Maybe I practice a lot with Gong Er on a daily basis.

The black armor blocks and the iron sword attacks, the moves are unhurried, steady and powerful.

He already looks very much like a monk.

A child of about six or seven years old stood in front, shouting and jumping, "Stab him, stab him, quickly... hey... get out of the way!"
