However, they were also unfamiliar with Barren City and wanted to find a larger pawnshop. They didn't know where to find one for the time being, so they could only find someone else to ask.
"Friend, do you know any larger pawnshops nearby?" At this moment, Bai Yu Zhe stopped a passerby and asked. "The target of his question was a man in his thirties. Just as he was about to reply, a young man appeared from the side with a smile on his face and stood in front of Bai Yu Zhe and the others.
The moment this person appeared, the middle-aged man took one look and quickly left. There was even a trace of fear on his face.
"Everyone, my surname is Xu. Do you want to find a large pawnshop?" The young man asked enthusiastically. He was around 20 years old, had a medium build, small eyes, a droopy nose, and even had a small mustache.
Even though the other party was smiling enthusiastically, he gave the impression that the other party was a person who didn't know how to smile on the surface.
Bai Yu Zhe had a lot of experience. With one glance, he could tell that this person was trying to trick him. After all, they had brought so many things into the market, so it was normal for them to attract greedy and jealous people.
However, he didn't refuse immediately. Since he was looking for a pawnshop, it wouldn't be a problem for him to lead the way. If he wanted to eat their food, then Bai Yu Zhe would teach him a little bit about how to behave.
Therefore, Bai Yu Zhe nodded his head without any hesitation and waited for the other party's reply.
"That's easy to deal with. I happen to know a friend who runs a pawnshop. He's rich and powerful. He's one of the best in Barren City!" Why don't I take everyone to see it? I guarantee that I can give everyone a high price! " The man surnamed Xu began to introduce himself and then looked at Bai Yu Zhe with a fervent expression.
"Alright, lead the way!" Bai Yu Zhe agreed without hesitation. He did not care what the opponent thought. With his current strength, he did not need to be afraid of anyone in Barren City.
The other party clearly did not expect Bai Yu Zhe to be so straightforward and was slightly stunned. However, he quickly reacted and led the way with a face full of joy! As they walked, they chatted with Bai Yu Zhe and the others. Most of them were constantly bragging about themselves.
"Right, where do you live in Barren City?" After boasting for a while, the man surnamed Xu started to ask about the residences of Bai Yu Zhe and the others.
"I don't have a place to stay for the time being, so I'm thinking of finding a place to rent it. However, we have a lot of people, so the house I need is rather big!" Bai Yu Zhe, who hadn't replied to much before, finally replied by stating his needs!
He knew that for a snake in a desolate city like this, he should know a lot of things and might even be able to help him solve the problem quickly. This saved him from having to stay in a tavern tonight and not have to go out to look for him tomorrow.
"That's great! I only know this house. The place is definitely big enough and the price is fair. Seeing that we are on good terms with you today, I can even give you a discount!" As expected, when the man named Xu heard this, he immediately opened his mouth.
Bai Yu Zhe also repeatedly praised and followed the man named Xu as they walked. They went in all directions and there were less and less pedestrians. From the looks of it, he was not going to be in a hubbub and would be in a remote area instead.
Bai Yu Zhe impatiently asked a few times. The other side always said it was too soon and the smile on his face also became more and more prominent.
Gradually, the sky darkened, and no one could be seen on the road they were walking on. Bai Yu Zhe could feel that the other party had already taken several detours.
He was getting really impatient. If the other party really brought him to the pawnshop, no matter how dark this pawnshop was, he wouldn't care. However, the problem was that the pawnshop that the other party was talking about might just be a smokescreen. If that was the case, then it would be a waste of his time! Along the way, they met a few people. When they saw the man named Xu, they all had a strange expression on their faces. Therefore, the possibility of it being a pretense was very high.
"That should be enough!" Bai Yu Zhe finally opened his mouth to speak. If the other party was only bringing them to a remote place to steal items, then he wouldn't have any interest in teaching them a lesson. Their time was very precious.
As the man surnamed Xu heard Bai Yu Zhe's tone, he was obviously surprised for a moment. But then, he immediately changed into a smiling face and said, "It's right in front. I promise that it'll only take three minutes!"
Bai Yu Zhe helplessly shook his head. He had basically confirmed that the other party didn't bring him to some pawnshop. Instead, they had arranged to meet up with his companions during the process of going around the pawnshop.
Even if he couldn't find the pawnshop, he might be able to find a place to live with him first. It wouldn't be too late to think about the matter of the goods tomorrow.
Indeed, in less than three minutes, after turning around a street, the man surnamed Xu finally stopped and the smile on his face became a sinister one. This was a dead end. The houses in the surrounding two rows were somewhat dilapidated, but the inside was pitch black. At this moment, quite a number of people had already filed out from both sides of the street.
Slowly, forty to fifty people began to gather here. In front of Bai Yu Zhe and the others, all of them were blocked! These people each held a shiny weapon in their hands, and their faces were full of sneers and vicious expressions.
"Hehe, it's about time now! Look at the situation, I won't say anything unnecessary. Leave behind everything on you, including your weapons! Then, scram! " The man surnamed Xu sneered as he backed off. There were at least nineteen people on the other side, so he would first ensure his own safety.
"Is this where you live?" Do you want to rent it? " Bai Yu Zhe's face was calm. He didn't care about what the other person said. He didn't talk about the pawnshop and directly asked if they wanted to rent the house.
"Hahaha …"
Bai Yu Zhe's words immediately caused this group of people to laugh out loud. Each and every one of them pointed at Bai Yu Zhe and laughed out loud, as if they had seen something very funny!
"Is this kid scared silly? Hahaha!" You even asked if you want to rent a house, how hilarious! "This brain of mine, if it were me, I would have already been smashed to death!" One of the youths laughed as he pointed at Bai Yu Zhe and spoke without restraint.
"Hehe, I didn't realize it earlier, but you're quite a humorous kid!" The man surnamed Xu also had a smile on his face, as he retreated he said, "Thinking about ancestral home is fine, it's even free. I guarantee that after you rent it, you won't want to leave!"
"Why are you blabbering so much? It's still the same old saying. Put down everything on you and get lost! If he dared to resist! Heh heh … Kill a few wild fellows who have not been registered in Barren City here, and then deal with your corpses. No one will know! " The youth with the worst smile had changed his face. He held a long blade in his hand and waved it in front of him as he threatened.
"Boss, this group of people are so ferocious. What should we do?" At this moment, the fatty had a frightened expression on his face as he walked to Bai Yu Zhe's side. The fat on his body was slightly trembling. He loved to play these kinds of games the most, and his acting skills were definitely top-notch as well.
Seeing the fatty's performance, they all revealed a complacent expression.
"Stop playing around, hurry up and settle it. Then, let's go eat a meal first!" In the darkness of the night, those people simply couldn't see him. Then, he appeared in front of the man named Xu. One of his hands grabbed the front of the man's clothes, and the dagger in his hand was already pointed at the man's neck.
"Since you've starved to death, why don't you first put some blood on your body to quench my thirst?" The Earth Mouse looked at the other party's neck with a greedy expression. The sharp blade of the dagger had already pierced through the other party's skin, causing blood to flow out.
This attack was too sudden. No one on the other side could react to it. The speed was too fast! The man surnamed Xu had already retreated to the back of the crowd, but he still stood at the front. In just a second, this ten-meter distance had already passed in front of the Earth Rat …
"Don't... "Don't make a move, wait …" The man surnamed Xu could feel that his neck was already bleeding. The cold dagger seemed to be about to cut his throat. He was immediately frightened. His legs began to tremble, and his face was full of fear.
The others couldn't react in time, and the scene instantly turned cold.
"You want to rent your house?" Bai Yu Zhe once again asked with an indifferent tone.
By now, everyone in the group knew that the kid in front of them had not been scared silly. Rather, he had nothing to fear, and was not afraid of them at all! In that instant, one of his brothers was captured.
"Brothers, attack!" I don't believe that they would dare to kill in Barren City. When the enforcement team arrives, none of you will be able to escape! " The leader of the group charged forward with the machete in his hand, a fierce expression on his face.
He was clearly betting on this. He was betting that Bai Yu Zhe and the others didn't dare to kill anyone, and even if they did, that man surnamed Xu would only be an insignificant person in their group.
The leader was quite confident in his side's fighting capabilities. All of them were cultivators, six or seven of them were at the Spirit Enlightenment Realm, and the rest were at the Heart's Gate.
If they did not have any strength, how could they dare to snatch these people who had clearly returned from their experiences in the Desolate Mountain Ranges!
"Die!" How dare you threaten us! " The moment that person took the lead, the others all brandished their weapons and charged forward. One of them even directly launched an attack at the rat!
