Start with the fisherman

Chapter 45 If you can speak, then speak more

"Freshly fried chestnuts, freshly fried chestnuts, freshly fried chestnuts are fragrant, soft, sweet and delicious..."

"Osmanthus cake, osmanthus cake..."

It was already evening when Cao Ze walked into Cape City. He had taken off his cloak and returned to his original appearance.

As soon as I entered the city gate, I heard endless hawking sounds.

There are rows of shops on both sides of the long street, and the streets are bustling with people, which is completely different from the fish market in Bishui Village.

The last time he came here earlier today, he was busy going back to Bishui Village to help Uncle Wu, and he didn't have time to experience it carefully. Now that he was in the city again, Cao Ze had the illusion that he had returned to his previous life.

He took a deep breath, bought two packs of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes that smelled so good that his mouth was watering, and a few buns, then quickly went to the inn where Su Xiaozhi was staying.

The waiter obviously recognized him. He nodded and smiled at him, then let him in.

Go up to the second floor and knock on the door.

"Who?"

A cold voice sounded, which was completely different from the Su Xiaozhi who usually appeared in front of Cao Ze, which made Cao Ze feel a little amused.

Just when Cao Ze was about to tease Su Xiaozhi again, the door creaked open.

The moment the door opened, a flash of knife followed closely. It was the short knife that Cao Ze gave Su Xiaozhi for self-defense, and it looked like it was going to chop Cao Ze in half.

Fortunately, Cao Ze was quick-witted and grabbed Su Xiaozhi's wrist holding the knife.

"Brother Ze!"

After seeing who was coming, Su Xiaozhi loosened her hands, rushed into Cao Ze's arms in an instant, and started crying.

After all, she was just a little girl who was well protected by Su Wu.

"Okay, okay, it's okay!"

Cao Ze picked up the dagger on the ground, carried Su Xiaozhi into the room, closed the door, and then told her what happened on the island. He did not hide his strength from Su Xiaozhi.

Su Xiaozhi is different from Uncle Wu. After all, she has always been by his side and he can provide close protection. If she knew too much, it would be bad for Uncle Wu.

There is a big difference between really not knowing a lot of things and deliberately hiding them in the eyes of experts.

When Su Xiaozhi heard Cao Ze talking about her brother Su Zhuoding's left arm being cut off, she felt sad again. She was not in the mood to eat the osmanthus cake that Cao Ze brought back, so she pulled Cao Ze back to Bishui Village.

Cao Ze naturally would not refuse, as he originally came to pick Su Xiaozhi up.

The two of them packed their luggage, and he changed his clothes, went downstairs to return the deposit, and walked towards the city gate again. It was getting late now, and if he didn't hurry up, the city gate might be closed.

However, as soon as the two men reached the city gate, they saw Su Wu and his group.

"father!"

When Su Xiaozhi saw Su Zhuoding, who was covered in blood in Su Wu's arms, tears welled up in her eyes and she cried out in pain, "Brother!"

However, I became more determined to practice martial arts harder.

She didn’t want to practice martial arts before because her father and brother could protect her well, but now and in the future, she will practice martial arts hard to protect her father and brother.

I must become a strong man like Ze Ge!
"Brother Cao."

After seeing Cao Ze, Feng Kuang no longer had any doubts in his mind. Who else could it be if not Cao Ze on the sea that day?

Cao Ze looked over with some confusion. He probably didn't know the other person, but he did know the man behind him. He was Zhao Meng, the boatswain of the Quanfeng who had invited him to be a sailor that day.

"This is Feng Kuang, the captain of the Storm, a strong man in the Bone Forging Realm!"

Su Wu originally thought that the two knew each other, but after seeing Cao Ze's confused expression, he quickly introduced them.

"Captain Feng, I've heard a lot about you!"

Cao Ze still has a very good impression of these people. Not to mention in this chaotic world, even in his previous life, there were very few people who would draw their swords and help others when they saw injustice. Such people are worth making friends with no matter what.

"Hahaha……"

Feng Kuang was in a good mood, and said with a hearty smile, "This is not the place to talk, how about we find a restaurant and get drunk?"

"I really want it, I dare not refuse!"

Cao Ze readily agreed.

"I am seriously injured and cannot accompany you. Please forgive me." Lu Chenan bowed to the others, holding a bloody head in his left hand. "I went to the government office to collect the reward. I also need to go back to recuperate for a while."

"I'll take Brother Lu back."

Su Wu bowed in return. There were some things that needed no further explanation, but the favor had already been remembered in his heart.

Lu Chenan refused again and left alone without looking back.

"Who is this person? How dare he bring a human head into the city in broad daylight?"

Lu Chenan's outfit was so eye-catching that passers-by around him had already started talking about it.

There are many hidden talents in Cape City, and there is no shortage of knowledgeable people. Soon, someone exclaimed, "That's the head of Crazy Shark, who is ranked 63rd on the bounty list!"

Wow!
The crowd was in an uproar and gasped.

When they looked at Lu Chenan again, their eyes were filled with awe.

"As expected of a shark hunter, after breaking through to the Bone Forging Realm, he became a god in one battle and killed the Crazy Shark. Now the title of shark hunter is finally worthy of its name!"

"So he is the shark hunter! He is indeed handsome, I wonder which young lady he will marry in the end..."

Listening to the crowd's increasingly outrageous discussions, Lu Chenan quickly clasped his fists and said loudly, "I didn't kill the Crazy Shark, but a mysterious expert who passed by did it. I'm just collecting the reward on his behalf. If that expert finds out, he can come to me to collect the reward at any time!"

Lu Chenan actually values ​​reputation very much, and he agreed to Su Wu's invitation partly with this in mind.

But if it’s not his own reputation, Lu Chenan will definitely not accept it.

On the other side, Cao Ze, who had already moved some distance away, felt his heart bleed with pain.

Why didn't he think that this person might be the bad guy on the bounty list?

His bounty!
"How much is the reward for the murderer ranked 63 on the bounty list?"

Cao Ze asked somewhat unwillingly.

"Five hundred taels!"

Feng Kuang answered first, "This price is naturally far less difficult than killing a crazy shark, but it is also a considerable income."

hiss!
Taking a deep breath, Cao Ze felt even more heartbroken.

That’s five hundred taels of silver!
He had never seen so much silver in his life, no, in both of his lives.

Five hundred taels of silver, that's one hundred prescriptions for the Mo Skin Realm, sixteen prescriptions for the Yi Jin Realm...

If Xiaozhi had these five hundred taels of silver, it would be easy for her to break through to Yi Jin.

I feel so heartbroken that I can't breathe.

"What happened, Brother Cao?"

Feng Kuang asked with concern. What he valued was not only Cao Ze’s current strength, but also Cao Ze’s potential.

To have reached the sixth level of physical training at such a young age, he will surely achieve extraordinary things in the future.

"fine."

"I'm just a little curious as to why the man who killed the Crazy Shark didn't come to claim the reward. He's really stupid!"

Cao Ze wanted to slap himself twice, and made a decision. After drinking, he would buy a bounty list, carry it with him, and wipe it frequently. That's not a bounty list, it's a gold mine!
Hahaha……

Feng Kuang laughed again, he seemed to enjoy laughing very much.

"How can you and I guess what a person like that is?"

"Five hundred taels of silver is a lot for us, but for that kind of person, it is naturally not worth mentioning."

Su Xiaozhi burst out laughing. Knowing the truth, she of course understood what was going on.

"What's wrong?" Feng Kuang was a little puzzled.

"Captain Feng is right!"

Su Xiaozhi quickly explained that Brother Ze was just too shallow and could not guess the thoughts of such a great man. "Please continue!"

"That's not the case. Brother Cao is young and promising. His future achievements may not be worse than that mysterious master..."
