Immortality Cultivation: I can use my clansmen’s energy and blood to add points.

Pedestrians were hurrying back and forth, some talking in low voices, some laughing loudly, their faces filled with love and satisfaction for life.

Luo Chen strolled among the crowd, stopping from time to time to observe everything around him.

He noticed that the architectural style here was very different from that of Qingshi City, and was more ancient and rugged.

Each building is like a witness of history, quietly telling stories of the past.

He couldn't help but walk into a teahouse that looked very old, intending to take a short break here and learn about the customs and culture of Donglin City.

Inside the teahouse, the aroma of tea fills the air and the atmosphere is tranquil and peaceful.

Luo Chen found a seat by the window, ordered a pot of the local specialty Biluochun, and sipped it leisurely.

The aroma of tea was clear and sweet, as if it could wash away the dust and fatigue he had experienced along the way.

He closed his eyes, enjoying this rare moment of peace and quiet. Faintly he could hear the whispers of other guests in the teahouse, telling their stories and experiences.

"Have you heard? Things are not going well in the Northern Wilderness Alliance recently."

A deep voice suddenly broke Luo Chen's thoughts.

"Yes, I heard that they are gathering their forces and preparing to attack several major forces nearby."

Another voice echoed.

Luo Chen was startled when he heard this.

He didn't expect that he would hear news about the Northern Wilderness Alliance shortly after he left Qingshi City.

He listened carefully to the conversations of the guests, trying to get more information from them.

"The Northern Wilderness Alliance has become more and more arrogant over the years. Aren't they afraid of arousing public anger?"

An angry voice sounded.

"Humph, they have powerful forces behind them, so they are naturally fearless. However, we are not easy to mess with. All major forces are uniting to prepare for their provocation."

Another voice analyzed calmly.

Luo Chen listened silently, thinking secretly in his heart.

He understood that the world was far more complicated than he had imagined.

The threat posed by the Northern Wilderness Alliance is not only to the Luo family, but also poses a huge challenge to the stability and peace of the entire continent.

He became more determined to go out, hoping that through his own efforts, he could bring a little change to the world.

After drinking tea, Luo Chen continued to wander around the city.

He traveled to every corner of Donglin City, from the bustling market to the quiet alleys, from the lively restaurants to the tranquil temples, leaving his footprints everywhere.

He felt every detail of the city with his heart and imprinted them deeply in his memory.

As night falls, Donglin City is shrouded in a faint moonlight, appearing exceptionally peaceful and mysterious.

Luo Chen stood on the city wall, looking at the hazy mountain shadows and twinkling stars in the distance, his heart full of longing and expectation for the future.

He knows that the road ahead is still long, but he is ready to face the unknown challenges and opportunities.

"Don't run, don't run"

Suddenly, a childish voice broke the silence of the night.

Luo Chen looked in the direction of the sound and saw a few children chasing and playing in an alley not far away.

One of the little boys accidentally fell to the ground, and the lantern in his hand rolled to the side. The faint light swayed in the night.

Luo Chen smiled slightly. This warm scene reminded him of his childhood. Those carefree days seemed like they happened just yesterday.

He walked towards the little boy, intending to lend a helping hand.

When the little boy saw a stranger approaching, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, but he was quickly calmed down by Luo Chen's gentle smile.

"Are you okay, kid?"

Luo Chen asked softly, reaching out to help him up.

The little boy shook his head, tears on his face, but he tried to force a smile: "I'm fine, thank you big brother."

Luo Chen helped him pick up the lantern, patted the dust off it, and handed it back to him: "Be careful next time, don't fall again. It's getting late, go home quickly, so that your family won't worry."

The little boy nodded, took the lantern, and bowed to Luo Chen to express his gratitude.

Then he ran away, leaving behind a string of clear laughter echoing in the night sky.

Looking at the little boy's receding back, Luo Chen felt a warm feeling in his heart.

He turned and looked into the distance, and secretly decided in his heart that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, he would remain innocent and kind like these children and face everything bravely.

In the following days, Luo Chen stayed in Donglin City for several days. He not only gained a deep understanding of the local customs and culture, but also made friends with several like-minded people.

Among them were swordsmen with superb martial arts skills, learned scholars, and female doctors who were proficient in medicine.

Luo Chen benefited a lot from communicating with them. Not only did his martial arts make great progress, but he also gained a deeper understanding of the world.

as time flows.

In the blink of an eye, it was a month later.

In a restaurant in Donglin City, Luo Chen was sitting comfortably in a corner, eating and drinking.

Suddenly, a group of people came up to him.

The leader, a young man in fancy clothes, sat directly opposite Luo Chen. He smiled and said, "Are you living a comfortable life, kid?"

Luo Chen looked ahead with some confusion on his face.

What do these people want to do?
He probably doesn't know him?
However, the next words of the young man in fancy clothes let him know the cause of the incident.

It turned out that a prostitute he had known before had fallen in love with this dandy young man in fancy clothes.

However, I couldn't catch up with it.

In addition, when this dandy young man in fancy clothes learned that there was such a person as Luo Chen, he came looking for him.

"I'll give you a chance, stay away from Ruyu, otherwise..."

There was an unquestionable threat in the words of the young man in fancy clothes, and his eyes looked particularly sinister under the dim light of the restaurant, as if something bad would happen immediately if Luo Chen disobeyed.

Luo Chen put down the wine glass in his hand and looked calmly at the young man in fancy clothes without any fear.

He smiled softly and said, "Sir, you are wrong. Miss Ruyu and I just met by chance and did nothing inappropriate. Besides, a man and a woman can only be together for a long time if they are in love with each other. How can outsiders interfere so easily?"

Upon hearing this, the young man in fancy clothes' face darkened, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with Luo Chen's answer.

He slammed the table, splashing the food and wine all over it, attracting the attention of the diners around him.

He sneered, "What a perfect match! I think you are just refusing to accept my offer! In Donglin City, there is no woman that I, Lin Yi, cannot get! If you know what's good for you, just listen to me, otherwise..."

Luo Chen frowned slightly. He didn't expect Lin Yi to be so arrogant and unreasonable.

But he felt no fear in his heart, instead he felt a surge of anger.

He stood up, staring at Lin Yi with a sharp gaze, and said, "What else? Master Lin, do you still want to force me in broad daylight?"

Seeing this, Lin Yi curled up the corner of his mouth into a sneer, and waved his hand to signal several followers behind him to come forward.

These followers were all burly, and were obviously martial artists. They approached Luo Chen step by step, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

However, Luo Chen did not back down.

He moved his body, weaving between the tables and chairs like a dragon, easily avoiding the siege of several followers.

His movements were swift and powerful, and each of his moves was just the right amount to neutralize the opponent's attack, while at the same time maintaining a certain distance with grace.

Seeing this, Lin Yi's expression changed slightly.

He didn't expect Luo Chen to have such skills, and he couldn't help feeling a little fearful.

But he quickly regained his composure and sneered, "Humph! It seems that you have some skills, but in front of me, Lin Yi, you are still far behind!"

As he spoke, Lin Yi stretched out his body, ready to take action himself.

But at this moment, a clear voice suddenly rang out: "Stop!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman in a light green dress hurriedly walking into the restaurant.

She had a beautiful and refined face, and a heroic look between her brows. She was exactly the Miss Ruyu that Luo Chen had mentioned before.

Miss Ruyu walked quickly between Luo Chen and Lin Yi. She first looked at Luo Chen and confirmed that he was not injured. Then she turned to Lin Yi and said, "Mr. Lin, why are you so aggressive? There is no relationship between Luo Chen and me. We are just ordinary friends. If you continue to be so unreasonable, I am afraid that your reputation will be ruined."

Lin Yi's face became even gloomier when he heard this.

He didn't expect that Miss Ruyu would come forward to defend Luo Chen, which made him very annoyed.

But he also knew that he couldn't take action here, otherwise it would really cause unnecessary trouble.

So, he glared at Luo Chen fiercely and sneered, "Okay! Since Miss Ruyu has spoken, I, Lin Yi, will naturally give you face, but I will remember this, kid! You'd better be careful!"

After saying that, Lin Yi left the restaurant angrily with his followers.

Seeing this, Miss Ruyu sighed softly.

She turned to Luo Chen and said, "Mr. Luo, are you okay? I'm so sorry that I caused you trouble because of me."

Luo Chen shook his head and said with a smile: "Miss Ruyu, you are too serious. I am fine. But you should be careful about Lin Yi. He is not a good person."

Miss Ruyu nodded and said, "Thank you for your reminder, Master Luo. I will pay attention. It's getting late, and I should go back. Master Luo, you should go back early as well."

Luo Chen nodded and said, "Okay, Miss Ruyu, be careful on your way."

Miss Ruyu smiled slightly, turned around and left the restaurant.

Luo Chen couldn't help feeling a little emotional as he looked at Miss Ruyu's departing back.

He didn't expect that he could meet such a woman in Donglin City. This is really rare!

Luo Chen returned to the inn. It was already late at night and everything was silent.

He sat by the window, looking at the bright moon outside, with a thousand thoughts in his mind.

Thinking back to what happened today, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. He had come out to gain experience, but ended up being inexplicably involved in these disputes.

But on second thought, it is these experiences that make his life more colorful and make him cherish everything in front of him more.

The next morning, Luo Chen got up early and prepared to leave Donglin City to continue his journey.

He packed his bags and walked out of the inn, only to find that the streets were sparsely populated and seemed even more deserted than usual.

He was confused but didn't think much about it. He just thought it was still early and people hadn't gotten up yet.

However, when he reached the city gate, he was stopped by a group of soldiers.

The leading general looked solemn, looked Luo Chen up and down, and said in a deep voice: "Are you Luo Chen?"

Luo Chen was startled, but his face remained calm. He cupped his hands and said, "It is me, General. I wonder if the General has any advice for me?"

The general took out a portrait from his arms, unfolded it and saw that it was the portrait of Luo Chen.

He said coldly: "Someone reported that you are related to several murders that occurred in Donglin City recently. Please come with us."

Luo Chen was shocked when he heard this.

He knew very well that he had not done anything against the law, and it was impossible for him to be involved in the murder case.

This is obviously a deliberate frame-up!

He forced himself to remain calm and asked, "General, do you have any solid evidence? It's too hasty to conclude that I am the murderer based on just a portrait, isn't it?"

The general snorted coldly and said, "Of course there will be evidence, but before that, you need to go with us to the government office and cooperate with the investigation."

Luo Chen knew that arguing at this moment was useless, so he could only follow them to the government office first and then look for a chance to escape.

He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you, but please, General, make sure to find out the truth and clear my name."

The general waved his hand, signaling his men to put Luo Chen on the prison car.

Luo Chen did not resist, but got into the car silently, secretly thinking about his next strategy in his mind.

The prison van drove slowly towards the government office. Luo Chen looked through the gap in the van at the pedestrians passing by outside, feeling mixed emotions.

He never thought that he would become a prisoner one day, let alone that the source of all this was his unknown enemy.

After arriving at the government office, Luo Chen was taken to jail.

The prison was dark and damp, and the air was filled with a musty smell that made him frown.

He was put into a small cell where several prisoners were already waiting for him.

When these prisoners saw Luo Chen, they all looked at him curiously.

One of them even stepped forward and asked, "New here? What did you do wrong?"

Luo Chen smiled bitterly and said, "I was framed and said it was related to the murder case."

The prisoner heard this and chuckled, saying, "Who can tell what's going on in this government office? But since we're here, let's make the best of it. Let's try to figure out how to get out."

Luo Chen nodded, but his heart was confused.

He knew very well that it was not easy to clear his name.

But no matter what, he will persevere until the truth comes out.

In the following days, Luo Chen spent every day in prison like a year.

He tried to appeal his grievances to the jailers many times, but was ruthlessly rejected every time.

However, just when he was about to despair, an unexpected turn of events occurred.

Late one night, a mysterious man in black sneaked into the cell and woke Luo Chen from his sleep.

The man in black whispered, "Brother Luo Chen, I was asked to come and rescue you. Everything has been arranged outside. Just follow me."

Luo Chen was overjoyed when he heard this, and he quickly followed the man in black out of the cell.

Along the way, they avoided all the guards and patrols and finally succeeded in escaping from the government office.

After escaping from the government office, the man in black took Luo Chen to a remote house.

The house was brightly lit, and a middle-aged man was anxiously waiting for them. (End of this chapter)
