Chapter 186 Stay and Help
Deng Duo smiled wryly upon hearing this.

He knew that Xiao Ran had good intentions, but this matter was not something that Xiao Ran could help at all.Even though Xiao Ran is an alchemist, he is not from Anqi City after all, so he can't influence a big family like the Zeng family at all.

"Shopkeeper Deng, why not talk about it? If I can't help, there will be no greater loss, right?" Seeing Deng Duo's expression, Xiao Ran knew what the other party was thinking, and continued to chuckle.

This time, Dun Duo nodded.

"This matter involves the Zeng family in Anqi City. Mr. Xiao Ran may not know much about this Zeng family when he came to Anqi City for the first time. Simply put, the Zeng family is the most famous family in Anqi City except for a few first-class families. A powerful family, as a whole, is stronger than the Wei family. In the Zeng family, there are several people who are innately strong." Deng Duo spoke slowly, sighing repeatedly while speaking.

"Shopkeeper Deng offended the Zeng family?" Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Yes! To be precise, it angered the Zeng family. The head of the Zeng family has a son named Zeng Liang. This Zeng Liang has a low character and has done a lot of evil in Anqi City by relying on his family power. The head of the Zeng family treated this son It's very indulgent, most people will take a detour when they see Zeng Liang." Deng Duo said.

"Brother Xiao Ran, I injured Zeng Liang some time ago. Well, the injury may be serious. I heard that the Patriarch of the Zeng family was furious about it." Deng Yan'er interjected.

Seeing that Xiao Ran was about the same age as her, Deng Yan'er didn't like being called alchemist Xiao Ran or Mr. Xiao Ran, so she decided to call her Brother Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran's eyes flashed. Hearing this, he generally knew the ins and outs of the matter.

"You can't blame Yan'er for this matter, that Zeng Liang is really too much. He saw Yan'er on the street, so he came up to make a move. Yan'er's temper is a bit more anxious, so he did it on the spot. Zeng Liang is a dude. My son, the strength of martial arts is much worse than that of Yan'er, so Yan'er was injured." Xu Yun said.

Xiao Ran looked at Deng Yan'er.

Deng Yan'er's cultivation is indeed not low, and she has already stepped into the Qi Transformation Realm.Ordinary warriors, at Deng Yan'er's age, can step into the Qi Transformation Realm level, which is regarded as a very high level of martial arts talent.

In fact, in any city, dudes like Zeng Liang basically exist.This is not to say that people with great backgrounds must have poor character, but that those who are backgrounded have poor character and do not have the ability to do evil.People who have no strength and no background may have been killed long ago.

"It's not Yan'er's fault, what does the Zeng family want?" Xiao Ran asked.

"The Zeng family was injured because of Zeng Liang. On that day, an elder Zeng's family came to my pharmacy and asked us to pay a high medical fee to the Zeng family within half a month," Deng Duo said.

"How much do they charge for treatment?" Xiao Ran asked with a frown.

"The elder of the Zeng family said that we need to pay 20 gold coins for the treatment fee. Alas, Wuhua Pharmacy is just an ordinary small pharmacy, how can we get 20 gold coins! If only 20 gold coins are needed for the treatment fee, I will Even if you sell all your belongings, you can still get it together. But the Zeng family not only wants gold coins, but also wants me to hand over Deng Yan'er to their Zeng family for punishment." Deng Duo said in an angry voice.

"This is too much. It wasn't Yan'er's fault in the first place. Isn't the Zeng family bullying others?" Xiao Ran also felt a little angry.

"That's right, they are bullying others, and there is nothing we can do. I have no choice but to ask someone to tell Xu Zhi and Xu Yun in Lushui City about this matter, and at the same time I want to ask the Wei family to come forward. However, the Wei family seems to be afraid of offending The Zeng family refuses to help us make decisions. We pay a sum of gold coins to the Wei family every year, but the Wei family refuses to protect us at critical times." Deng Duo's eyes were full of helplessness.

By this time, Xiao Ran understood everything.

Xu Zhi and Xu Yun rushed back from Lushui City after their uncle asked for help.But Xu Zhi and Xu Yun could not help their uncle Deng Duo to fight against the Zeng family.Brother and sister Xu Zhi have good martial arts skills, but the Zeng family is like a colossal existence to them.There are several innate warriors in the Zeng family, and if any innate warrior comes forward, the Xu Zhi brothers and sisters cannot compete.

"Mr. Xiao Ran, do you now know why I dare not keep you? Tomorrow is the last time set by the Wei family. If we don't follow the Zeng family's request tomorrow, I'm afraid..." Deng Duo shook his head.

If the Zeng family only needs gold coins for compensation, then Deng Duo can make up for it by selling everything.But the Zeng family wanted his daughter Deng Yan'er, so it was impossible for Deng Duo to agree.

"Shopkeeper Deng, it seems that I really need to stay." Xiao Ran said after pondering for a while.

"Ok?"

"What?" Deng Duo stared at Xiao Ran with rounded eyes.

Brother and sister Xu Zhi and Xu Yun also looked at Xiao Ran in surprise.This incident had nothing to do with Xiao Ran in the first place, and Xiao Ran and Deng Duo did not know each other before. It was because of Xu Zhi and Xu Yun that Xiao Ran came to Wuhua Pharmacy by chance.

Now, Xiao Ran actually wants to stay on his own initiative.

If Xiao Ran stays, then the Zeng family will come tomorrow, regardless of whether Xiao Ran is familiar with Deng Duo or not.The Zeng family would probably never let anyone in Wuhua Pharmacy go.

"Shopkeeper Deng, there is actually nothing to worry about. People from the Zeng family will come tomorrow, so let me come forward and have a talk with them. Zeng Liang, the son of the head of the Zeng family, was injured. Although Yan'er is not to blame for this incident, it is okay for us to pay some gold coins." It's not impossible." Xiao Ran narrowed his eyes and said with a smile.

"Mr. Xiao Ran, you...you may not understand very well. The Zeng family not only wants us to pay high gold coins, but also wants me to hand over Yan'er to them. If I don't pay Yan'er, they won't let it go. Xiao Ran Sir, let me tell the truth, tomorrow is the deadline given by the Zeng family, and the Zeng family will definitely do it tomorrow."

"Mr. Xiao Ran, if you stay here, you will be implicated. Once the Zeng family makes a move, no one in Wuhua Pharmacy can avoid being implicated." Deng Duo said in a deep voice.

He really didn't want to hurt Xiao Ran.

Deng Duo's plan was to let Xu Zhi and Xu Yun leave Wuhua Pharmacy at night.The Zeng family is currently monitoring Wuhua Pharmacy, but the Zeng family should not stop Xu Zhi and Xu Yun from leaving.

"If the Zeng family dares to do something, they will regret it. Shopkeeper Deng, it's settled. I will stay here tonight." Xiao Ran made a final decision.

"This..." Deng Duo looked at Xu Zhi and Xu Yun.

Brother and sister Xu Zhi and Xu Yun also looked at each other.

"Mr. Xiao Ran is a student of Baizhan Academy. As long as we report Mr. Xiao Ran's identity at that time, the Zeng family should have some scruples. Hurting a student of Baizhan Academy is a big deal." Xu Zhi said softly.

"Hehe, my Zeng family should not be able to hurt me." Xiao Ran said with a smile.

Although the Zeng family is relatively powerful in Anqi City, it is not a first-class family after all.Inside the Zeng family, there may be a few warriors in the innate realm, but it is absolutely impossible to have existences beyond the innate level, that is, it is impossible to have warriors in the Lingyun realm.Warriors under the Lingyun Realm should not pose a fatal threat to Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran himself is at the innate peak level, and in terms of martial arts attainments, there are not many innate realm warriors in the Yuye City area. can be compared with oneself.
