Ye Chen was interested when he saw the bustling crowd and the constantly hawking merchants. When he passed by a blacksmith shop, he casually chose a dagger and thought that it was not bad. When they said that they wanted ten crystals, Ye Chen was stunned for a moment but he quickly understood.

It was just that he had just come out of the Small World inside. How could he not have seen any crystals before? However, he had quite a number of medicinal herbs and materials with him. He could exchange them or buy them.

Looking at the white crystal that was given to him when he was buying things, Ye Chen understood that the crystal was like the currency on Earth. Hence, if he wanted to survive here, he had to get the crystal first. Otherwise, he could not stay here.

Ye Chen looked around in the crowd and sure enough, he saw that the shop opposite had the word “Dang” written on it. Seeing that these people were dressed a little, Ye Chen roughly knew that these people had some living habits.

It was not an overstatement to say that these people here could be said to be from thousands of years ago on Earth. Ye Chen walked into the pawnshop and as soon as he entered, someone respectfully served him tea.

“May I know what you want?”

Ye Chen looked at the decor of this shop and saw that this pawnshop was not ordinary. Then, he looked at the old man standing in front of him. He was wearing a dark blue embroidered robe. The satin cloak was also embroidered with a pattern that looked like a beast but also like a bird. Ye Chen did not know which family this was from but he was sure that this pawnshop was definitely not ordinary.

“Hello, I think I pawned this. I wonder how much this is worth?”

Ye Chen did not know if the medicinal skills and materials he brought out could be pawned here, so he did not take anything too good. Instead, he took a medium-sized beast horn and handed it over.

Seeing Xuan Hong’s beast horn burning like red iron and his entire body emitting flames, a trace of cunning flashed across his eyes. He looked at Ye Chen and smiled.

“Young Master, this Volcano Rhinoceros Horn is considered to be high-grade. If only there was one pair. Unfortunately, there’s only one. However, it can be sold for a good price.”

“I have no choice. This is already the most valuable thing on me. Please see if you can give me more.”

Ye Chen did not take out everything but only took out a beast horn to test the water. However, looking at the old man, Ye Chen knew that his beast horn could definitely be sold for a good price.

“Young Master, this is the most I can give you.”

Ye Chen looked at the old man’s extended hand and did not ask for much. He nodded with a smile, indicating that he agreed.

Ye Chen tossed the bag full of crystals in his hand. He thought that the old man would look like 50 crystals but he did not expect it to be five high-quality purple crystals. Ye Chen asked briefly and the crystals were divided into five colors: white, red, blue, green and purple.

The best quality of purple crystals was that they required two green crystals to exchange for one purple. In other words, if five blue crystals were exchanged for one purple, ten red crystals would be exchanged for one purple. Then, if twenty white crystals were exchanged for one purple, Ye Chen calculated that if he changed all the crystals in his hand to white, he could exchange for a hundred white crystals. This way, Ye Chen felt that it would be a burden and it would be more convenient to bring this purple one with him.

Ye Chen wanted to know more about this world and did not know where to go for a moment. Hence, he stood at the intersection with a bag of purple crystals and looked at the few shops in front of him. One was a tavern, one was an inn, and the other was a gambling den. Then, Ye Chen carried the bag and entered the inn.

This was because he felt that the inn could solve the problem of sleeping and eating. Moreover, the people staying in the inn were all merchants who came and went outside. They definitely ran all over the world, so they would definitely have some latest news.

Ye Chen asked for a medium-sized room in the store and used two purple crystals. He also asked for a pot of the same wine on the left table and a plate of the same meat on the right table. Just like that, Ye Chen started to inquire about this world.

“You, don’t bother with those troublesome matters. Just take care of yourself.”

The two people on the left were drinking wine one by one. The fat one was persuading the guy on the other side who had been drinking silently and not eating. On the right, the three burly men were drinking while saying how good the lady from the previous place was.

Ye Chen looked at these people carefully. Although they all had the gifts from thousands of years ago, they were not as pedantic and feudal as before.

At that time, women did not have much status. However, Ye Chen looked at the woman who was standing at the counter calculating the bill. It was natural and natural. Hence, Ye Chen guessed that this place was different from the feudal society from before.

However, he knew that no matter where and when, strength spoke.

Ye Chen shook his head and felt that there was nothing to hear. He was about to get up and go back to his room to have a good sleep when he heard a sentence from the table behind him.

“Really disappeared? Just like that?”

“You have to know that he is someone the Wang family dotes on. If he disappeared just like that, wouldn’t the Wang family flip Fan City a few times?”

Ye Chen held his wine glass and listened carefully. He leaned back unconsciously.

“Isn’t that so? That Wang family is a big family in Fan City that’s only inferior to the City Lord Manor.”

“I heard that the Wang Family found the Young Master of the Wang Family and almost fell out with the City Lord’s Mansion.”

The two of them drank their wine to their heart’s content. There was a saying that people who watched a show would never dislike things getting bigger. The bigger the commotion, the more excited they were.

“Didn’t the Li family say anything?”

“I heard that they also lost a young master.”

The clinking of glasses sounded again, followed by the sound of eating. Ye Chen listened to the familiar voice and lowered his volume.

“Sigh, you don’t know about this. That person from the Li family isn’t as favored as this person from the Wang family. There are even people in the family who are thinking of ways to not let this Young Master appear. I heard that the Old Master of the Li family even wanted to send him away.”

Although his voice was lowered, Ye Chen fortunately heard him clearly. It was just that Ye Chen did not understand that the strength of this Wang Family and this Li Family could be said to be comparable to the City Lord Manor. Then, did the City Lord Manor not do anything?

Or were these two missing young masters the means of the City Lord Manor, or was it something else?

After listening to some of it, Ye Chen did not listen to anything else.. After understanding the few major factions in Fan City, he returned to his room and slept.
