What Huang Yuexuan didn't know was that Chen An had been hanging out in the local Qingfeng Tower in Shangyuan County for a long time to take on tasks, often spending a lot of effort for just a few hundred taels of silver.

Two thousand taels of silver, which is enough for Qingfeng Tower to hire a warrior with a small inner energy for a period of time.

Of course, it is just the most ordinary kind, the kind that is not even as good as the master of Black Tiger Village.

Chen An's real strength is still above the level of inner energy. If he really wants to hire two thousand taels of silver, he will definitely not be able to hire such a master.

But isn’t there no way out?

If Chen An had channels to fully realize his strength, he wouldn't be so poor now.

Two thousand taels is already a lot for him.

At least if he was just asked to kill a few people, he would think it was acceptable.

If Huang Yuexuan knew this, she would definitely feel dumbfounded.

After returning to his residence and receiving a thousand taels of silver from Huang Yuexuan as compensation for this mission, Chen An was quite satisfied.

Although the one thousand taels of silver was less than the two thousand taels of silver promised before, Chen An was still satisfied.

After all, seriously speaking, he actually didn't do much this time, he just crushed a horse to death, and he didn't even use the knife.

It's pretty good to earn so much.

Of course, the focus is still on subsequent cooperation.

Miss Huang agreed to hire Chen An for a period of time for two thousand taels of silver.

It is equivalent to using this money to hire Chen An to be her bodyguard for the period that Miss Huang is in Shangyuan County.

According to Huang Yuexuan, it is about a month.

In the past month or so, Chen An needs to respond when Huang Yuexuan is in need and accompany her on several trips.

The conditions are quite suitable.

Although one month may seem a long time, but calculating the actual working time, it is actually more cost-effective than Chen An going to Qingfeng Building to pick up the task by himself.

This is another income.

Chen An felt that it wouldn't be long before he could go to the auction house and find some internal refining and martial arts skills to practice.

Time passed by.

To Chen An's expectation, in the next half month, Huang Yuexuan did not look for Chen An, but stayed in her yard honestly.

The only thing he usually does when he goes out is to chat with Bai Qing in his yard, acting like a good sister.

This made Chen An a little confused.

But being able to catch fish is also a good thing.

It would be better for Huang Yuexuan to be more stable, so that he, the bodyguard, can save some energy.

During this period, Chen An left and went to the auction house.

But unfortunately, nothing was gained.

There is a martial arts skill, but the price is a bit high, which makes Chen An prohibitive.

As for the internal refining method, not even a shadow was seen.

After all, the internal refining method of the inner energy realm is not a popular product, even the most inferior ones like Qingsong Jin are not that easy to come across.

Chen An simply shouldn't be in a hurry and just wait slowly.

Anyway, he has been in Shangyuan County for a long time, and one day he will come across something suitable.

All he had to do was wait patiently.

Time passed by and in the blink of an eye it was time for the Bai family competition.

"It's a lively scene that I haven't seen in a long time..."

Chen An stood under the venue, looking at the troubled scene in front of him and sighing.

After leaving Fengcheng County, he had not seen such a lively time for a long time.

There are visiting warriors everywhere.

This is considered a peripheral area of ​​the Bai family land and is usually not open to outsiders.

However, this time the Bai Family Competition, because some outsiders were invited to visit, the place was opened to the public after a long time, thus attracting many people to come and watch.

People in this world practice martial arts, and even ordinary civilians are proud of practicing martial arts and hope to become a warrior.

In this case, things like Dabi are naturally very popular.

Chen An walked around and thought that if this place charged a fee, put up a few seats, and charged admission fees, he would definitely be able to make a lot of money.

Maybe I can make back all the expenses for this competition and still have some leftover.

Of course, he could only think about this idea in his mind. If he really said it out, even Bai Qing would scold him.

How can money be used to taint something as pure and glorious as the warrior competition?

Although in Chen An's view, this competition had nothing to do with pure glory from beginning to end.

A shout sounded in the distance.

It seems that someone has already organized a gambling game there, and someone has seriously started to analyze the players participating in this competition, trying to find a few dark horses and make a lot of money.

Unfortunately, there were several acquaintances of Chen An inside.

Bai Changyue is one of them.

At this moment, he was selling information there, selling the details of the Bai family to passers-by.

He is from the Bai family. Although he is not the core member, he is still more familiar with the Bai family members than outsiders.

Those outsiders didn't know his details, were fooled by him, and foolishly bought the information from him.

Chen An couldn't help but sigh.

He didn't know whether it was good or bad to get involved with such a profiteer.

Walking past the outside, the venue inside is much more serious.

There are chairs everywhere, and most of them are occupied by people.

At the front, there are several figures sitting together.

Those are the talkers from the major branches, sitting side by side at the moment.

Bai Qing is among them.

Chen An took a look and recognized several of them.

A middle-aged man in his early forties, with a majestic appearance and a strong body, named Bai Mingwei, is Bai Changren's father and the talker of his second wife.

Another man who looked very old, at least sixty or seventy years old, was wearing a gray gown and had a peaceful face.

This is Bai Mingli, Bai Zhilan's grandfather, the talker of the fourth house.

The last one was a young man in his early thirties.

The man was dressed in white clothes, with a fair and feminine face, and a slight smile on his face, sitting there.

This is the talker from Wufang, it seems his name is Bai Changyuan?

This thought flashed through Chen An's mind.

These three people, plus the third room represented by Bai Qing, and the main direct line represented by the head of the Bai family, are all the branches of the Bai family.

As if he felt Chen An's gaze, from a distance, Bai Changyuan turned around and his eyes fell on Chen An.

The cold and sinister gaze fell on Chen An, which immediately made him feel awe-inspiring and he quickly lowered his head.

"Is that the subordinate you hired in Fengcheng?"

Looking at Chen An in the distance, Bai Changyuan sneered on his face: "He looks pretty good."

"I just don't know how good my skills are."

"Not really. One year of practicing martial arts can only defeat a Sanhe Gang leader who has perfected his physical training."

Bai Qing smiled and pointed out something: "Of course this is not worth mentioning to you, brother."

Bai Changyuan looked at Bai Qing deeply: "I hope you can laugh again in the future..."
