Chapter 1934: Chapter 1934: Used by Him to Scout the Path

“Eldest brother, wait for me, I’ll go and make some inquiries right away.”

There was no reason Xie Qi could do something he couldn’t do, wasn’t it just about being glib? Who was born with that skill anyway? Was it not okay for him to start learning now?

However, making inquiries was not something just anyone could do.

People like them, who knew nothing, had to ask the locals, and also had to disguise themselves as someone pitiful, who had no choice but to come here to make a living.

Soon, he set his sights on a little beggar outside the teahouse as his target, using the pastries he had in hand to pave the way.

“Little brother, come here.”

...

He sat on the step outside the teahouse and gestured to the little beggar.

The little beggar also seemed to be accustomed to being questioned by people, didn’t hesitate at all, and came over directly, still holding his broken bowl.

“Eldest brother, do you need something?”

He looked at Yuu Rong’s pastries with pitiful eyes, swallowed, and asked.

“Want to eat?”

Yuu Rong followed the little beggar’s gaze to the pastries in his hand, then looked back at him, and asked softly.

This little beggar looked to be only eight or nine years old, but it seemed he often stayed outside this teahouse. Earning a living was truly not easy.

“Mhm, want to eat.”

The little beggar was honest. It seemed he had done this sort of thing many times, and there were not a few people who had asked him like this.

“Is eldest brother wanting to ask something? Ask me, I know everything,” he said.

“How do you know I want to ask you a question?”

Yuu Rong, interested, handed him a pastry and asked.

“Eldest brother looks unfamiliar. At first glance, it’s clear you’ve never been to Xingrong Town before. You’re different from the others in the teahouse, they come to Xingrong Town often.”

The little beggar took the pastry from his hand, ate it heartily, and spoke while eating.

He had been here for several years, how could he not know which people had been to the town before and which were first-timers?

Besides, wasn’t his livelihood all about guiding newcomers? If he couldn’t even discern that much, then he truly deserved to starve to death.

“You really are a clever little devil, aren’t you? Where are your father and mother? Do they allow you to be out here by yourself?” Yuu Rong asked.

“I don’t have a father or mother; all my family died off, leaving just me. Everyone says I’m cursed, that I was the death of my family,” the little beggar said bluntly.

He knew the people of Xingrong Town believed in these things, but others did not—they only believed in their own strength and the treasures they obtained in the Five Elements Domain.

As for whether he was the curse of his relatives, well, they were not his relatives anyway. As long as they could get the information they wanted from him, wasn’t that good enough?

Upon hearing his story, Yuu Rong felt a streak of sympathy in his heart.

“I see. Well, tell your eldest brother about the Five Elements Domain. If you do well, not only will these pastries be yours, but eldest brother will also give you money, or if you want Beast Pills, that’s possible too.”

His eldest brother and sister-in-law had given him some Beast Pills, which were enough for him to make inquiries here.

He thought that rather than giving these things to some self-sufficient adults, it would be better to give them to this little beggar, to ensure he had enough money to grow up well.

“Okay, okay.”

With bright eyes, the little beggar agreed readily and then began to tell the tale of the Five Elements Domain.
