Jiang Hu Town's origin could be traced back to the Era of Two Reigns, the era when the Asura and Rakshasa clans dominated.
At first, there was only a temporary small boat port. The real stop was White Water City, a few hundred miles down the river.
As the number of Jiang Hu travelers increased, the first inn gradually appeared, which was also the earliest Jiang Hu Inn.
Seeing the booming business of the Jiang Hu Inn, more and more people smelled the opportunity and built their own houses around the boat port. Over time, it became the Jiang Hu Town that it was today.
Yan Li held Fu 'er's little hand and passed through the long dock. The moment he stepped on land, he finally relaxed.
As long as there was no threat of rivers and lakes, as long as he had a sword in his hand, there was nothing to be afraid of.
"Little b * tch, don't you know that there is an unwritten rule in Jiang Hu Town?" Gu Caiwei came out of nowhere and giggled.
The passersby were immediately attracted by her laughter and stopped to look at her.
In the Immortal World, there was almost no one who didn't recognize Gu Caiwei. Therefore, many people only took a glance and steeled their hearts to turn around and leave. Because of their status, it was impossible for them to have anything to do with a beauty of this level. Rather than constantly thinking about her, it was better to pretend that they didn't see her.
Yan Li found that almost all the people he saw were cultivators. There were even some cultivators who faintly emitted qi, but they were dressed as porters.
Moreover, there was no doubt that they were indeed porters, not mysterious people or assassins.
The porters' job was obviously to carry things.
Boxes after boxes of bound goods were stacked on the backs of the porters. The most exaggerated one was carrying more than ten boxes, stunning the onlookers.
Yan Li thought that if it were him, carrying ten boxes would be his limit.
In the Immortal World, cultivators were even more worthless.
Yan Li knew that although these porters had solid cultivation, they probably didn't know anything about fighting. Otherwise, it would be much better to find a hunting group in the human world than to be porters.
"Hey, I'm talking to you." Gu Caiwei pouted and stomped her feet.
"Oh, what did you just say?" Yan Li stopped observing and looked at Gu Caiwei in confusion.
"Do you know that there is a rule in Jianghu Town?" Gu Caiwei asked.
"What rules?" Yan Li asked.
"You must stay at the Jianghu Inn," Gu Caiwei said sweetly.
"Why must I stay in the Jianghu Inn?" Yan Li frowned. "Don't I have any other choice?"
"That's because there is only one inn in Jianghu Town, and that is the Jianghu Inn."
The one who answered was not Gu Caiwei, but Lin Juxing, who had caught up from behind. Two of his fellow disciples were staring at Yan Li with cold and gloomy eyes.
Lin Juxing had learned his lesson. This time, he did not give the two a chance to ignore him. He continued, "The Jianghu Inn has developed to this day. All the other inns have been bought by it. Now, all the shops on the street belong to the Jianghu Inn."
"You call this a rule?" Yan Li rolled his eyes.
"There are always some accidents." Lin Juxing sneered without malice. "It is said that those who don't stay in the Jianghu Inn will mysteriously disappear after leaving Jianghu Town. Brother Yan seems to be someone who is not afraid of challenges. If you don't believe me, you can give it a try. "
"Have you tried it?" Yan Li asked.
"No," Lin Juxing said.
Yan Li said bluntly, "Since you haven't tried it and don't know how dangerous it is, you still dare to ask me to try it. If I really disappear, what will happen to the people who eat with me? Will you help me take care of them?"
"If something really goes wrong," Lin Juxing said indifferently, "I will take care of them for Lady Caiwei's sake." As he said this, he looked at little Fu 'er with a hidden meaning.
"Master, Fu 'er wants to eat roast duck." Fu' er suddenly pointed at a shop with a fragrant roast duck.
"You guys go first."
The streets of Jianghu Town weren't very big. Yan Li led Fu 'er to the roast duck shop. "Give me a roast duck. Chop off the legs first."
The owner of the shop was a young man in his early thirties. Hearing this, he readily answered, "Okay, one roast duck."
He quickly took down a roast duck from the shelf, removed the hook, and chopped off two legs.
Yan Li took an oiled paper bag from the shop, tore it open, and wrapped the leg bones. He handed it to Fu 'er. "Eat it."
"Thank you, Master." Fu 'er happily took it and ate without reservation. Although she said it was a big bite, her mouth was so small that she couldn't eat much meat. It looked very cute.
"Why do you suddenly want to eat roast duck?" Yan Li rubbed her little head while taking out the Sky Mystic Stone from his Qiankun Bag.
"Roast duck is the best. When Master is not here, Fu 'er wants to eat roast duck the most …" Fu' er mumbled.
Yan Li suddenly felt distressed. He turned to the young man and asked, "How much?"
"Fifty taels of silver." The young owner smiled slightly.
Yan Li paused in his action of taking the money. "Fifty taels? Silver? "
The young owner put on a fake smile and said, "Customer, please don't joke with me. One roast duck is fifty taels of Sky Mystic Stone. This has always been the case. If you want to renege on your debt, I can only go to the bad people's house to complain. "
"Shopkeeper, do you know who is standing in front of you? How dare you talk to him like this." Lin Juxing walked over with a sneer and said to Yan Li, "Brother Yan, don't be so hasty. This peddler has eyes but doesn't recognize Mount Tai. Just treat this roast duck to me." He took out a hundred taels of silver and threw it on the roast duck shop.
His two fellow disciples followed up and looked at the Sky Mystic Stone in Yan Li's hand. They deliberately mocked him with disdain.
"Since it is a business, there is no reason not to pay." The young owner muttered in a low voice. He reached out to take the silver note, but was suddenly grabbed by Yan Li. His expression changed. "You really want to renege on your debt? Come on, someone is reneging … "
Before he finished speaking, a silver note was stuffed into his mouth. He took it out and saw that it was also a hundred taels of silver note. He immediately beamed with joy. "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. It's all a misunderstanding. Customer, please wait a moment. I will give you the change now."
"No need to change." Yan Li said lightly, "Give this young master another roast duck."
"Alright." The young owner agreed.
Yan Li picked up Lin Juxing's silver note and gave it to him. "You don't have to be so polite. I will give you a roast duck to eat at home. Take it as a consolation for injuring your junior brother."
"Then … thank you." Lin Juxing narrowed his eyes slightly to hide his killing intent.
"Little b * tch, little b * tch, I want to eat it too." Gu Caiwei suddenly pointed at the remaining duck leg and said in a sweet voice.
Lin Juxing quickly said attentively, "Miss Caiwei, my junior brothers don't like to eat roast duck. Why don't I give you mine?"
"I want to eat this leg." Gu Caiwei pouted.
