The strangeness of her smile was indescribable.
She was like a prostitute who received a customer for the first time and could not let go of her reservations. She forced herself to put on a stiff, charming smile to curry favor with the customer, but it looked even uglier than when she did not smile.
No one would be happy to be stared at by such a smiling face.
Jin Xiangyin was no longer just unhappy. She quirked her eyebrows and said, "Dragon Gate Inn doesn't have a rule where you can eat and stay for free. If you don't have money, go hide in the corner."
"Oh." The woman instantly looked disappointed and returned to the young man and boy's side.
"How was it?" they asked.
The woman said without batting an eyelid, "The people here aren't very friendly. We have to be careful."
Then, she looked around and saw an empty corner. "Let's go there." As she spoke, she walked over.
The young man followed her. The boy thought about it and brought the bucket of water over as well.
The three of them sat on the ground in the corner, hugging the bucket of water.
The boy grumbled, "Second Sis, didn't you say that as long as we use that trick of yours, we can stay in a comfortable room and eat delicious food? I'm so hungry. "
The woman glared at the counter. "It's definitely his problem!"
The young man quietly brought out a half-eaten flatbread from his bosom and gulped. He gritted his teeth and handed it to the boy. "Feather Jun, eat this."
"Thank you, big brother!" The boy snatched it in delight and finished it in a few bites. When he was done, he licked his fingers, as if he had not had enough.
The young man and woman looked at each other in resignation. "Feather Jun, that's our last rations. Why didn't you save some?"
"If I wasn't careful …" The boy scratched his head in embarrassment. "Hehehe …"
"Are you hungry?"
At that moment, a pleasant voice suddenly rose from behind the trio.
The trio turned their heads around and saw a woman so beautiful that they could not shift their eyes away. She held two steamers of steaming buns in her hands.
Shen Liuyun placed the buns on the ground and said faintly, "We can't finish them. We were afraid that they would go to waste, so we brought them over. Don't overthink it." Once she finished speaking, she walked away.
When she returned to her seat and turned her head to look, she saw that the trio did not even know what overthinking was. They were busy wolfing down their food.
When the three of them smelled the mutton in the buns, they immediately lost their ability to think. How could they have the time to listen to Shen Liuyun?
Shen Liuyun couldn't help but smile.
When they finished wiping out all the buns, they lined up in a row and solemnly knelt in the direction of Shen Liuyun to express their gratitude.
"The kindness of a meal is as big as the sky. Is that what you mean?" Yan Li asked.
Shen Liuyun said faintly, "The way to repay a debt of gratitude is pretty much the same. The difference lies in the person. Even if we help a beggar on the street, he won't bow to us. At most, he'll say something like 'good will be rewarded'. "
"That's true," Yan Li said, "It seems that these three guys are not bad."
…
Bang!
Just as the wind was howling outside the inn, a hurried sound suddenly came from the second floor.
Half of the door flew down from above.
Jin Xiangyin reacted quickly and grabbed the door, shouting angrily, "Who dares to cause trouble in my inn!"
"Ku Daoshi, get your ass out here!"
Fu Shi appeared at the entrance of the staircase. She had searched every corner of every room, even the wardrobe, but she couldn't find any trace of Ku Daoshi.
Her anger was on the verge of exploding, like a volcano that was about to erupt.
Jin Xiangyin's angry shout was like a catalyst that caused her chest to explode. Her eyes were bloodshot, and she couldn't help but want to kill.
At that moment, she saw someone.
That person was sitting near the counter in the lobby, next to the well in the center, with his back facing the window.
When she saw this person, the anger on her face instantly disappeared, and was replaced with the bashfulness of a young girl. The tenderness in her eyes was like endless water.
"Big Brother Lu," she called out.
Her voice suddenly became gentler than a sheep's, completely different from before. It was like she was a completely different person.
This sudden change stunned everyone who was on high alert.
Jin Xiangyin was still holding the door horizontally in one hand, and forgot to put it down.
Lu Yunyin heard it, of course.
Then, Ma Guanshan discovered that this teacher, who had never smiled and was like a corpse, actually revealed a gentle and doting smile and stood up.
"Big Brother Lu!" Fu Shi walked down shyly, and gently snuggled her head into Lu Yunyin's arms, "You're here."
"I'm here," Lu Yunyin said with a smile.
Ma Guanshan almost fell to the ground. He looked at the two hugging each other with an uncertain expression. It was like a dream, and it felt surreal.
Gradually, he understood.
She would only turn from a tigress into a sheep when she was with him, and he would only turn into a person with warmth when he was with her.
She obviously couldn't live without him, and he obviously couldn't live without her.
Fu Shi suddenly saw that there was someone else at the same table, and her expression turned cold, "Who are you?"
Ma Guanshan's eyes turned, and he hurriedly said, "Hello, Masteress. I'm Ma Guanshan, a new disciple of Master. I've often heard Master say that you're an outstanding beauty, and today I see that you really live up to your reputation! "
The word "Masteress" was enough to make Fu Shi burst with joy. She smiled sweetly and said, "You're very good, very good. If you don't know anything about cultivation, ask me."
Ma Guanshan didn't expect this woman to be so easy to deal with, and was immediately overjoyed, "Thank you for your guidance, Masteress!"
Every family had their own difficulties.
Everyone also had an unknown scale in their hearts, and they used it to measure the world and the ways of the world.
Thus, countless different stories were woven together.
In this small inn, everyone had a story.
Jin Xiangyin, who was still calculating at the counter, the waiter who was busy putting up the door, the heroes of Jianghu who gathered here because of fate, the lone bandits, the mysterious foreign tribes, and the people who hid their heads and showed their tails, all of them were the same.
The Jianghu was a hodgepodge.
Yan Li saw this and understood a little.
"Roar —"
At this moment, there was a terrifying roar that sounded like the roar of a strange beast. The inn rumbled, and the ground seemed to tremble. The whole place was in a state of swaying.
Everyone's hearts tightened.
Jin Xiangyin stopped and put down her abacus. She raised her head and glanced at the crowd, "The Black Dragon King is here. The Trading Convention will now begin!"
At this moment, Wang Hui came to Ji Hyun-woon's side. His eyes flickered, and he said with some embarrassment, "Crown Prince, can the Elemental Pyroxene be auctioned here …"
"You're only thinking about that little bit of money." Ji Hyun-woon rolled his eyes at him, "Since Xiao Wang said he would sell it and share it with everyone, would he take it for himself?"
"That's not what I meant …" Wang Hui's face was bitter, "I have a difficult matter that I can't speak of. I urgently need the money. I hope Crown Prince can understand."
"If that's the case, then let's do as you wish." Ji Hyun-woon generously took out the brocade box containing the Elemental Pyroxene and handed it to Wang Hui, "Here, take this to the shopkeeper."
