51: Chapter 51 is very strange.

Regardless, Cai Rujin had helped quite a bit, so Su Jiuchuan could not just ignore her.

He called up the simulator.

[ Do you wish to conduct a life simulation? Each time consumes 10,000 points of money. ]

Yes.

[ At eighteen, you have already become a First-grade Martial Artist. Cai Rujin has been kidnapped. ]

[ That night, you searched everywhere for suspicious clues. Finally, you learned that a group of men in black had driven a carriage heading north, and you immediately pursued them. ]

[ In a valley, you finally caught up with the group. However, you discovered that there was a woman on the carriage with Cai Rujin, and the two seemed to be acquainted. ]

[ You wanted to save her, but discovered you were no match for her at all; she injured you within two moves. The woman told you to have Master Cai Jing come and pick her up himself, then she left. ]

[ You had no choice but to turn back, but you got lost in the mountains. Half a month later, you stumbled into the territory of a golden python and were killed, dying at the age of eighteen. ]

Something is wrong! Very wrong.

Su Jiuchuan finally discovered the problem: why did he constantly run into monsters and get killed whenever he was in the wilderness?

You have to know, he was already a First-grade Martial Artist; in human society, this was considered a fairly strong Martial Artist. How could he be killed by monsters so easily?

If the wilderness were this dangerous, humanity would have perished long ago!

Could it be because he was a Transmigration user, and the world held malice toward him?

That was impossible; it couldn't be summoning a monster specifically to deal with him. At least, Su Jiuchuan did not think he had that much influence.

His gaze inadvertently swept over the black blade, and he suddenly remembered what was written in Ouyang Xian's suicide note: The Heaven's Mandate is changing?

What did it mean by the Heaven's Mandate is changing?

Could the so-called Heaven's Mandate have something to do with all of this?

He thought about it for a long time but still had no clues, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

[ Simulation ended. You can retain one of the following items. ]

[ 1. Martial Dao Realm at eighteen. ]

[ 2. Martial Dao experience at eighteen. ]

[ 3. Life wisdom at eighteen. ]

Su Jiuchuan thought about it and chose 2. He wanted to see what level that golden python was; it couldn't be Xiantian Realm, could it!

In the dense forest, a massive snake tail wrapped around him tightly. His True Qi went berserk, and his Saber Intent transformed into the black blade, slashing at the snake's head. However, it only left a long wound on the head and did not sever it. Subsequently, a foul-smelling, bloody maw swallowed him.

Terrifying. Su Jiuchuan was drenched in sweat just from watching the memory.

That golden python should have been at a cultivation level comparable to his, not having entered the Xiantian Realm, yet relying on its physical advantages, it was still able to kill him.

Since Cai Rujin did not seem to be in life-threatening danger, he was no longer in a rush.

He had spent the day simulating Cultivate, then competing against Young Master Lin Yanyi, and now he had simulated a fierce battle with a monster. He was mentally exhausted, so he lay down and fell asleep.

The next day, when Su Jiuchuan woke up, it was already noon. He opened the door, intending to go out and find a place to eat.

"Young Master Su!" A middle-aged man dressed like a wealthy squire, who had originally been sitting on a chair by the door, stood up hurriedly when he saw him come out.

Clearly, he had been waiting here for a long time.

Su Jiuchuan frowned. He did not recognize this person, nor had he seen him in the life simulation. He figured that since he had gone to chase people yesterday and hadn't returned, he hadn't met him.

"Who are you…"

"This is Squire Wang from Tianshui City." The inn waiter accompanied him on the side, saying with a face full of smiles, "Squire Wang has been here waiting for you since early this morning; he has been waiting for three hours. The old gentleman has some matters he would like to trouble Young Master Su with…"

Su Jiuchuan shook his head. He was in no mood to get involved with messy matters right now, so before Squire Wang could speak, he said, "I'm not interested."

After speaking, he didn't wait for the other party to reply and walked downstairs.

Squire Wang had originally been all smiles, but seeing the other person ignore him completely, he became anxious and hurriedly said, "I saw that Young Master Su bet one hundred thousand taels of silver in the duel with Young Master Lin Yanyi. If you can help, I will pay one hundred thousand… oh, no… two hundred thousand taels of silver."

Hmm? When these words were spoken, the waiter's eyes almost popped out.

Two hundred thousand taels of silver? That much money was enough to buy this entire street.

He… oh, that was more money than his boss could earn in ten lifetimes.

Su Jiuchuan walked back. There was no helping it; the offer was simply too much.

"So, what exactly is the matter?"

Now he was somewhat interested. Being able to offer two hundred thousand taels of silver meant the matter was likely not simple.

Seeing that Su Jiuchuan was indeed swayed, Squire Wang felt joyful and hurriedly said respectfully, "For the specific details, please come to my humble abode to chat, Young Master Su."

Su Jiuchuan frowned. Being so secretive, it was likely not simple; he still needed to be careful.

"Please, Young Master, move your carriage. Even if, in the end, Young Master Su is unwilling to help, I will still provide ten thousand taels of silver as a travel fee." Seeing him still hesitating, Squire Wang hurriedly gritted his teeth and said.

Oh?

With this, Su Jiuchuan was truly interested. Just to go and listen, he would get ten thousand taels of silver; such a wealthy tycoon was rare to come by, so he definitely had to go and see.

"Let's go!"

Squire Wang led the way. As soon as they exited the inn, they saw a carriage parked outside, with seven or eight servants standing by the side.

Upon seeing the two approach, the servants hurriedly stepped forward to place the carriage stool. Squire Wang quickly cupped his hands and made a gesture of invitation.

Su Jiuchuan nodded and strode over, boarding the carriage. Inside, it was lined with plush cushions, and there was a small red sandalwood square table with sandalwood incense already lit, the entire interior of the carriage filled with a fresh fragrance.

He took a breath and felt refreshed; this sandalwood incense was likely not cheap.

Seeing Su Jiuchuan in the carriage, touching this and looking at that, Squire Wang did not rush him, just watching from the side with a smile.

"Let's go!" Su Jiuchuan's old face flushed red; he felt a bit like a country bumpkin entering the city, so he hurriedly called out.

The carriage soon started moving. Surprisingly, it wasn't bumpy inside. Su Jiuchuan had to admit that the wealthy people of this ancient era were indeed corrupt.

After traveling for about an hour, the carriage finally stopped. The two stepped off the carriage and arrived at a courtyard.

Squire Wang led him into the main hall, and the two sat down facing each other.

"Speak, what is the matter?" Su Jiuchuan had no patience for making small talk with this local wealthy man.

Squire Wang did not stand on ceremony; he simply made a gesture, and the surrounding servants retreated one after another.

"My Wang family has lived in Tianshui City for generations. Although we have rice shops, cosmetics businesses, and so on, those are all secondary. The Foundation of my Wang family is a Gold Mine outside the city."

"A Gold Mine!" Su Jiuchuan suddenly realized; no wonder this old fellow looked so wealthy.

"It's just that recently, something happened at the Gold Mine, and I would like to trouble Young Master Su to help resolve it."
