Met an old friend, begged for three thousand years?

"Did you do that on purpose, Da Huang?"

"I didn't, you can't accuse me like that."

"You still say you didn't?"

Chen Changan's gaze at Da Huang was full of resentment. This bastard was definitely retaliating against him on purpose.

Seven days, a full seven days. Da Huang went full speed, but didn't protect him at all.

Chen Changan's body could withstand it, but how could his clothes withstand Da Huang's speed?

"Why didn't you take better care of yourself?"

"Oops, I forgot, you've only just started cultivating, you're very weak."

"My bad, my bad."

Da Huang pretended to be confused, looking at Chen Changan with a cheeky grin.

"Fine, you just wait."

Chen Changan ignored Da Huang and was about to change his clothes when he suddenly heard a furious shout!

"Chen Changan!"

"You bastard, I've finally found you!"

Huh?

What the hell?

He just arrived in Langya and already ran into an acquaintance?

Could it be Lin Xiangliu? No, Lin Xiangliu shouldn't hold such a grudge against him.

Chen Changan and Da Huang were both curious, looking in the direction of the sound, and saw a beggar in the distance, staring at Chen Changan with a resentful expression.

"A beggar?"

"Damn, do I know a beggar?"

At that moment, Chen Changan wished he could flip through all his past memories, but he couldn't find anyone who fit the bill.

"Da Huang, do you recognize him?" Chen Changan asked.

"This... he looks a little familiar, but I can't remember." Da Huang shook his head.

The beggar looked to be middle-aged, with a face as dark as dirt, and his clothes were so tattered it was hard to describe.

But Chen Changan realized that his current attire seemed to be the same style as the beggar!

The beggar walked towards Chen Changan with a resentful expression, his eyes seemingly filled with excited joy when he saw Chen Changan's current appearance.

Chen Changan and Da Huang were also staring intently at the other party, after all, there weren't many people who could call out his name.

"I think I've seen him somewhere."

"Yeah, I feel like I recognize him too."

"Could it be..."

"Damn!"

"Xuan Wudao?"

"Are you fucking Xuan Wudao?"

Suddenly, Chen Changan and Da Huang both widened their eyes, completely unexpected that the beggar in front of them was actually Xuan Wudao.

Xuan Wudao wasn't from Langya, and Chen Changan met him three thousand years ago.

Back then, Xuan Wudao was full of vigor, hailed as the number one young talent of that era, with limitless prospects.

When Chen Changan met Xuan Wudao, it was during his peak of fame, only fifty years old, and his cultivation had reached the peak of the Void Glimpse Realm!

How could he have turned into a beggar after three thousand years?

It had been too long, and Chen Changan couldn't understand where Xuan Wudao's resentment towards him came from.

There didn't seem to be any grudges between them, right?

"Damn, you were once a generation's pride, what are you doing now?"

"Experiencing the hardships of the world?"

"Experiencing a different life?" Chen Changan asked with a surprised expression.

Seeing Chen Changan's expression, Xuan Wudao was completely enraged.

He forgot!

He actually fucking forgot?

He had painstakingly kept his promise for three thousand years, and this bastard had forgotten what happened back then?

"The reason I've become like this today is all thanks to you!"

"Chen Changan, you made my life so miserable!" Xuan Wudao's resentment was almost tangible, as if he wanted to strangle Chen Changan right then and there.

"Wait, what does this have to do with me?"

"I…"

Before he could finish, Chen Changan suddenly froze, a strange yet familiar memory flooding his mind.

Holy shit!

This… this really does have something to do with me.

Da Huang couldn't help but cover his mouth with his paw, snickering.

He remembered too.

"Three thousand years, do you know how hard I've been looking for you for three thousand years?"

"Damn it, I never have to be a beggar again."

"I'm free!" Xuan Wudao roared at the heavens, as if all the grievances of the past three thousand years were being released at this moment.

"That beggar is so pitiful, he's already like this, yet he's gone mad."

"I know, right? Look at those two beggars, they seem to get along well, chatting so happily."

"Ah, they're both pitiful people. Look, they're even raising a dog in their condition, they must be kind-hearted."

"Yeah, they're so down on their luck, yet they keep that big yellow dog so clean. They really are kind-hearted."

"Forget it, let's give them some money, let them have a good meal."

"I agree."

The passersby's conversation silenced Chen Changan, Xuan Wudao, and even Da Huang.

Did they really think of them as beggars?

To be fair, Xuan Wudao was a genuine beggar, but Chen Changan? Chen Changan didn't think of himself as a beggar, his clothes were just a little torn.

The most hateful one was Da Huang. After hearing the comments, he turned around and walked to the side, turning his head away as if to say he didn't know these two people.

"Get lost, do I look like a beggar?"

"What are you looking at?" Xuan Wudao said angrily.

Hearing this, everyone looked at Xuan Wudao as if he were an idiot, their eyes seeming to say, Doesn't he?

Xuan Wudao was originally quite tough, but after thinking about it carefully, if he wasn't a beggar, who was?

"Let's go, let's go, don't embarrass yourself here."

"Damn it, I've been embarrassing myself for three thousand years."

"All these years, I've been hiding from acquaintances, afraid of being seen by people I know."

Xuan Wudao hurriedly urged Chen Changan to leave this place. Now that he had found Chen Changan, he no longer needed to be a beggar.

"Alright, let's find a place to wash up and change clothes."

"I know a place, it's a good place, I've been eyeing it for a long time, but I didn't have the money to go."

"You're paying this time."

"Alright, I'll pay, I'll pay, your grandpa's got money."

Chen Changan helplessly shook his head, and then Xuan Wudao took him to a brothel!

"Huan Hua Tower?"

"This is the place you've been eyeing for so long?" Chen Changan looked helpless.

"Of course, this place is great."

"Don't tell me you haven't been to a brothel in all these years?"

"Let me tell you, I've been to many places these years, and after saving some silver, I spent it all in brothels." Xuan Wudao looked proud.

Holy shit!

How many brothels has this bastard been to all these years?

"With your cultivation, do you still need to save some silver to go?" Chen Changan asked curiously.

"What do you think? Isn't it all because of you?" Xuan Wudao said unhappily.

Chen Changan chuckled. When he first met Xuan Wudao, this bastard was very arrogant, thinking he was invincible.

Chen Changan didn't do anything at first, but when they parted, Xuan Wudao insisted on sparring with Chen Changan.

Chen Changan made a bet with him.

Chen Changan gave Xuan Wudao the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, and he would stand still. If Xuan Wudao could hurt him in the slightest, then he would lose.

If Xuan Wudao lost, he would have to be a beggar until he saw him again, living by begging.

The final result was that Xuan Wudao desperately attacked Chen Changan for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, but Chen Changan was unharmed.

"I'm just saying, that was three thousand years ago. If you couldn't find me, would you have been a beggar forever?" Chen Changan asked curiously.

"Nonsense, a real man stands tall and keeps his word. How could I break my promise?"

"Truly a man of character!"

"Enough talk, treat me to some fun."

"Alright, let's go."

Chen Changan shook his head helplessly. He'd never been to a brothel, so he might as well see what it was like.

"Hold it right there!"

"Don't you even look where you are?"

"Two beggars trying to come to our Huan Hua Tower?"

The two were stopped by a servant as soon as they arrived at the entrance. After all, their attire, along with the dog, was truly unbearable to look at.

"Enough nonsense."

"Lead the way."

Chen Changan didn't waste words, throwing out a few gold ingots. After all, this stuff was useless to him. It was just the common currency for ordinary people. For cultivators, Spirit Stones were what mattered.

"Oh, I was blind and didn't recognize Mount Tai! My eyes deceive me!"

"This way, two sirs, please!"
