Chapter 258, Blind Old Man
The waiter said impatiently: "Go, go, go...this is not a place for you to beg for food."
"Didn't someone say a treat?"
"There are strong people here, what are you doing here, a bad old man! Get out of here quickly." The waiter impatiently pushed the beggar out.
"etc."
The waiter looked at Jiang Chen, who stood up and said, "We are all guests here. There is no need to chase them away. I'll invite this old man."
The waiter looked at Jiang Chen, this man must be sick!
Have money but nowhere to spend it?
"But there's no place here?"
"Just sit at the same table with me."
The waiter was helpless, everyone said they were treating him, so he guided the old man towards Jiang Chen. The old man was wearing a cane, and after several gropings he finally found a stool.
Only then did Jiang Chen notice that the old man was blind.
Jiang Chen poured a glass of wine and pushed it in front of the old man: "Do you want to drink?"
"Thank you, you are a good person. This is the first time a good person invites me to drink." The old man stretched out his right hand and groped on the table for a while, and finally found the wine glass.
"There are quite a lot of good people in this world, and you will meet them often in the future."
The blind man sighed: "It's difficult. After meeting so many people, you are the only one who invites me, an old blind man, to drink. It's a pity..."
"What's a pity?"
"It's a pity that we are not the same kind of people."
"My biggest hobby is to respect the old and love the young." Jiang Chen tore a piece of meat, put it in a bowl, and pushed it up.
Jiang Chen didn't feel the so-called true energy. The old man's breathing was steady and his blood flow was slow, slower than normal people. He was either a master or he was too old to grow old.
"What do you call senior?"
"Senior, I'm a blind old man, you call me senior?"
"Is it possible to call you something, free man?"
"You can just call me the Fallen."
The free man next to him stood up angrily.
When these three words were spoken, they immediately aroused the anger of the surrounding free people. The fallen were only called such by the continent of the gods. They believed that abandoning the gods meant falling and were called fallen.
And they themselves call themselves free.
Fight for freedom and never surrender at the feet of the gods.
"Blind man, you'd better change this title. We are free people."
"Smelly old man, is this where you should be?"
"This old man is slandering us free people. As one of our people, he calls him this. I think it would be better to destroy him."
"I'll give you three breaths and leave here immediately."
This is the world of martial arts. It’s often just one sentence: draw your sword and kill people...
Jiang Chen had a headache.
These people are crazy, they are so angry with an old man.
Jiang Chen coughed: "I'm treating you today, please give me some respect and sit down to drink."
A big man came over.
"You are treating us today, so of course we have to give you face, but this old man insulted us, so he must kneel down to apologize and admit his mistakes."
"It's a bit too much." Jiang Chen frowned;
"How excessive? Didn't you hear what he said? He called himself the Fallen One."
The old man said calmly: "If you don't call yourself a fallen person, then what should you call yourself? Call me a cat or a dog?"
The middle-aged man was furious.
"court death."
A nine-ringed broadsword struck directly at the old man. Jiang Chen did not expect that this man would take action directly. Jiang Chen took the blind man's right hand and pulled it to the right. The blade gently slid across the old man's left shoulder.
With just three centimeters difference, the entire left shoulder was reduced.
"stop."
When everyone looked up, Jin Yunxi's face was gloomy: "No one can do anything in the Cloud Tavern. Anyone who does will know what will happen."
The middle-aged man's arrogance disappeared instantly.
He lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
"Drink, drink."
"Keep drinking, he's just a blind man, there's no need to pay attention."
"Why bother with swords and guns for a blind man?"
Jiang Chen shook his head, these people are really...
Jin Yunxi's identity is known to many free people. Who dares to be presumptuous in front of the meeting of heaven and earth? He is one of the five guilds of free people and the five strongest guilds.
Jin Yunxi glanced at Jiang Chen and said coldly: "Jiang Chen, leave as soon as you eat."
"The landlady is going too far by chasing people away before we finish eating."
"It's a lot of money, but that's not how it's spent."
"I do! I'll cover all this old man's food, drink, prostitution and gambling within ten years."
Jin Yunxi was extremely angry: "This is a tavern, a serious tavern, not the kind you mentioned."
"It doesn't matter. You can just find someone to take him there when the time comes. Anyway, I just have money and nowhere to spend it."
When Jin Yunxi heard this, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood and died.
Leave angrily.
The others looked envious, why not me!
This young man must be sick!
The old man smiled.
This young man is interesting.
The blind man shook his head: "Actually, I don't need it. Eating, drinking, and gambling are fine, but not that."
"It doesn't matter, eat more Indian sacred oil."
WTF?
"Your name is Jiang Chen."
"kindness."
"My name is····"
"You don't need to tell me. We meet by chance. There's no need to know your name. Once I sit down, you will live and eat here. If you leave, you will be in danger. You know what I mean."
Although the blind man had no eyes, he still stared at Jiang Chen.
He understood what Jiang Chen said. Once he walked out of the store, these people probably wouldn't let him go, but he never cared.
"Yes, I am blind." The blind man said to himself;
You don’t need to tell me, I know you are blind.
"I heard you are a swordsman?"
"kindness."
"What's the profession like as a swordsman?"
"It's nothing special. Just like you free men, we all use swords."
"Have you ever thought about ditching your badge and becoming a free man?"
"No."
"Why?"
"I'll treat you to dinner, and I'll let you eat, drink, and gamble with me for ten years. No one asked me why. I just don't want to, that's all."
Jiang Chen has never thought about this problem.
Life is so good under the Alliance of Gods, why should we abandon the badge and wander with a group of people? In Jiang Chen's opinion, there is no free person, he doesn't even have a home, so he might as well be called a wanderer.
And the women around me, Angelina, Daphne...
Forget about Daphne, but as for Angelina, Jiang Chen promised to help her become a god, and Jiang Chen has never given up on this goal.
After becoming a free person, whether you can practice cultivation is still a question.
Whether you can become a master is also a question.
What do free people rely on? They rely on talent. Jiang Chen doesn't believe that he has any talent. The local free people who have practiced for decades are not the same as changing careers.
What if he has no talent?
I can only hang out with them. As for fighting for freedom, this is nonsense. Doesn’t being a brave mean you are not free?
Are your hands and feet tied?
It's just that they don't have a home and are called free people.
There is still the comfort of having a home.
This is also the reason why there are many free people living on the Continent of the Gods. When faced with bread and ideals, most people will choose bread.
