Chapter 261 Asking for Wild People
Cen Yuanzhou subconsciously covered the thing and said with a wry smile: "If it weren't for Brother Dao this time, I might have died."

Cen Yuanzhou was a simple man. Now that he was out of danger and saw that Liu Xun had no intention of robbing him, he revealed why he was being chased by those three men.

It turned out that he accidentally passed by a mountain and discovered a long-fallen cloud city. He went in with the intention of picking up treasure, and he really found the treasure.

However, those three men happened to pass by and tried to rob, which led to the scene just now.

However, from beginning to end, Cen Yuanzhou never revealed what the treasure he had obtained was.

After hearing this, Liu Xun roughly judged the value of the thing in Cen Yuanzhou's arms.

After the fall of Cloud City, the cloud soil collapsed and will disappear over time. The cloud plants in it will have no place to rely on and will slowly die. What Cen Yuanzhou got was either a martial art or a cloud treasure, perhaps a good treasure that would make those three wanderers jealous.

But for Liu Xun, he doesn't look down on these. If it is the ancient cloud treasure, it is a different matter.

Liu Xun didn't take any action for the time being because he needed Cen Yuanzhou's help to enter the Cen family.

"Brother, please follow me." Cen Yuanzhou showed excitement on his face. He turned the bird over and flew high, which was the direction of Linyao Mountain.

Linyao Mountain deviates from the direction of the borderland, but the Cen family has a great opportunity. If they miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to go in openly again.

It was worth it for Liu Xun to stop temporarily in the borderland and change his route to Linyao Mountain.

The two flew for half a day and finally arrived outside Linyao Mountain.

Linyao Mountain is composed of two mountains leaning against each other, one is as short as a child, and the other is as tall as a woman. From a distance, it looks like a woman with her child waiting for her husband to return.

Most of the legends circulating here are related to waiting for one's husband.

"Brother Liu, we're here!" Cen Yuanzhou turned his head and said.

Liu Xun nodded, parked the Yuncheng outside, and got off to walk.

The exotic birds in Yuncheng have not been bred yet and cannot carry people, so Liu Xun can only walk on foot.

"Brother Liu, you'd better get on." Cen Yuanzhou laughed and motioned Liu Xun to sit on the flying bird.

There is still some distance to Linyao Mountain.

They were going to the higher mountain.

Outsiders are not allowed to enter the Cen family’s heavenly residence, so Cen Yuanzhou could only take him to Linyao Mountain.

There are villas scattered all over the top of the mountain. It seems that the Cen family also attaches great importance to the development of the land.

Cen Yuanzhou waved his hand and signaled the bird to fly away, then turned back and said to Liu Xun: "Brother Liu, this is where my Cen family is stationed."

There was a lot of pride in his words. As a member of the Cen family, he was very proud.

"Brother Liu, just tell me what you want. As long as it's within my ability, I'll bring it to you." Cen Yuanzhou patted his chest. On his own turf, he was no longer timid and became relaxed.

Liu Xun's eyes were subtle, and the corners of his mouth curled up: "Is that so?"

"I'm still short of some wild folks in Yuncheng. I wonder if Yuanzhou can find some for me?"

Liu Xun did not refuse and made his request directly.

"No problem!" Cen Yuanzhou slapped himself in the face as soon as he finished speaking, thinking that he agreed too quickly.

The wild people are population resources, and no one should think they are too few.

Although the Cen family raised a group of wild people who had no income from Yuncheng and let them reproduce on their own to be distributed to the celestial immortals in the family later, if they wanted to move those wild people, they needed the family's consent, and his father might not be able to make the decision.

Liu Xun knew that the Cen family raised a group of wild people who were not brought into Yuncheng. He also knew that Marquis Cen should be among that group of wild people, and currently he was still a wild person called "Hou".

Marquis Cen had a special identity. He was a son of the Cen family who accidentally entered a breeding ground after drinking and had sex with a wild woman.

The Cen family's son was not a celestial being, nor did he have any status in the Cen family. He did not dare to tell anyone about this, so he let the female peasant give birth to the child and did not even go to see her.

Later, when he grew up, he learned from the female savage who his father was, and he wanted to recognize his father.

But how could his identity be recognized? Because he refused to become a citizen of Yuncheng, he was locked up in a mountain prison by the Cen family.

Later, he was noticed by a celestial being from the Cen family, who made an exception and made him a servant.

The celestial being wanted to teach him martial arts, but Hou Xin was too proud and wanted to recognize his father and follow the celestial being's path.

When the female wild man died of illness, Hou's father finally stepped forward out of shame and revealed Hou's identity.

The head of the Cen family was a generous man, so he let Hou take the surname Cen and called him Cen Hou, and practiced the heavenly immortal method with the younger generation of the Cen family. Cen Hou also worked hard and made great achievements in strength, and later he became an immortal with strength.

Liu Xun did not want to recruit Marquis Cen as his own, because he was proud and wanted to be named Cen. He would not be willing to be a subordinate and a commoner.

He asked for the wild people in order to meet the marquis at the place where the wild people were raised, and then gain the same benefits from him.

Liu Xun guessed that Marquis Cen should still be in the breeding ground at this time. He would know whether it was true or not by going to meet him.

But first we need to deal with Cen Yuanzhou.

Cen Yuanzhou looked embarrassed. He had just made a big promise, but was instantly slapped in the face.

"I only need ten wild people, five men and five women." Liu Xun changed the conditions appropriately.

Cen Yuanzhou was delighted when he heard this. Ten wild people were easy to deal with, but he was afraid that Liu Xun would ask for too much.

If it were just ten barbarians, his father should be able to do it.

Cen Yuanzhou breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't be afraid of being laughed at by Brother Liu. I regretted my decision just now. If there are ten barbarians, you can choose one by yourself."

It's no secret where the wild people are kept; it's on the low hill.

Although the wild people are important, they are not particularly precious.

So Cen Yuanzhou spoke directly to his father and then took Liu Xun there.

When Cen Yuanzhou's father heard that Liu Xun wanted to choose by himself, he frowned at first, seeming a little dissatisfied, but he could not resist Cen Yuanzhou's urging and finally agreed.

"Does this person intend to contact my son?" Cen Yuanzhou's father had seen a lot, so this thought came to his mind.

But Liu Xun had just saved his son, so it was not appropriate to target him too much. He secretly sent someone to follow and investigate Liu Xun's background.

There are about two or three wild tribes living in the breeding grounds on the low hills.

It's troublesome to have so many people looking over.

But Liu Xun still looked for them one by one.

Now, no one knows about Hou's existence except his mother and father.

Liu Xun couldn't act too obviously so as not to attract attention, so he looked at them all.

Liu Xun recognized Cen Hou's appearance. Although he had only met him once or twice, he would definitely feel familiar whenever he saw him again.

When he saw the second tribe, Liu Xun finally saw Cen Hou.

Cen Hou is still a wild "Hou" now. He sits silently on a stone beside him, not talking to anyone, and seems out of place with others.

His mother was looking at him worriedly, not knowing how to persuade him. She just kept sighing and her face turned pale. It seemed that the symptoms had already begun to show.

It’s good that Marquis Cen is here.

Liu Xun pointed his fingers and said, "These ten of them."

Cen Hou was also listed.

Cen Yuanzhou nodded, turned his head and said to a celestial being beside him: "Thank you for your help, uncle."

This celestial being was in charge of guarding the breeding grounds and he did as he was told. Although he was not happy that an outsider like Liu Xun was leading the wild people, he still did as he was told.

He called over the ten wild folks who had been chosen and told them to follow Liu Xun from now on.

Among them, Cen Hou and his mother were present.

Cen Hou's mother grabbed his hand, looking nervous and a little timid.

When Cen Hou heard this, he immediately looked up and shouted, "I don't want to be a citizen of the city!"

"Huh?" Cen Yuanzhou's uncle's face turned cold and he snorted. How dare a barbarian shout in front of a fairy in heaven?
He was about to punish Marquis Cen, but Liu Xun stopped him and asked Marquis Cen, "Why don't you want to be a citizen of the city?"

"Because... because..." Marquis Cen was speechless. He was not stupid. If he revealed his father's identity in this situation, the Cen family might directly send him to Liu Xun as a citizen in order to keep the matter secret.

He wanted to reveal his father's identity, but he could only say it in front of the Cen family. He absolutely could not say it in front of Liu Xun, an outsider.
