After saying goodbye to Zhu Xiaolian and his servant, Ye Xuan didn't stay for long. He found a remote place, circulated his True Energy, and stuck an Invisibility Charm on himself. Then, a cloud condensed under his feet, and he slowly flew towards Jinhua County.
Ye Xuan had been to the world of A Chinese Ghost Story once before. At that time, he had come from the Hall of Governmental Affairs in Kaifeng to Jinhua in Zhejiang. The journey was more than a thousand miles compared to this time. Naturally, he was familiar with the roads in this world.
The speed of riding on the cloud was naturally incomparable to walking on the ground. In less than half an hour, Ye Xuan flew from Huayang Mansion to the boundary of Jinhua County.
After arriving at the boundary of Jinhua County, Ye Xuan found a remote place in Jinhua County and landed on the cloud. Then, he walked out and blended into the crowd.
According to the original plan, Ye Xuan should go to Ning Caichen. Previously, he guessed that Ning Caichen, as the protagonist of this world, should be able to bring him luck.
However, ever since he obtained the Myriad Flower Monster Realm, which allowed him to obtain 20% of the Luck Value, Ye Xuan had other speculations in his mind.
Perhaps, he could also get the luck value without Ning Caichen.
As for the plot of A Chinese Ghost Story 2, Ye Xuan knew it very well, so he had other plans in mind.
"Childe, you are here. Please, please, there is a private room on the second floor of this inn. Please come in quickly!" When he came to the front of an inn, before he entered the door, the waiter in the inn greeted him with enthusiasm.
"Get me a few good dishes and a pot of good wine. The rest is yours!" Ye Xuan casually tossed a piece of silver worth about two taels to the waiter.
"Yes, yes, childe, please follow me. I will take you to the private room first!" The waiter hurriedly caught the two taels of silver that Ye Xuan threw over. The waiter secretly tested the texture. After feeling that it was not fake, he happily brought Ye Xuan to the second floor.
The waiter brought Ye Xuan to sit by the window on the second floor. He diligently wiped the tables and chairs for him and poured a cup of tea for him. Then, he turned around and went to help him.
Ye Xuan was drinking tea while looking at the scenery outside the window, but his ears were actually listening to the conversations of the customers in the restaurant.
Most of the guests at the next few tables were talking about some matters, such as the new concubine that so-and-so had taken in, and how beautiful that concubine was. For example, how much money someone had won in a gambling house, or how many artists had been promoted by the largest brothel in the county.
After listening for a while, the conversation at the corner of the table finally caught his attention.
"Brother Wang, have you heard any news recently? Why is the county magistrate in such a hurry to collect treasures?" A middle-aged scholar dressed in Confucian robes said to a middle-aged man with a goatee.
"Brother Li might not know this, but the reason why the county magistrate is in such a hurry to collect treasures is because an important person is about to pass by our Jinhua County." The middle-aged man named Wang said.
"So the reason why the county magistrate is in such a hurry to collect treasures is to curry favor with that important person? I do not know who that important person is. Brother Li, please enlighten me! "The middle-aged man named Li extended his hand and gently pushed a silver ingot towards the middle-aged man named Wang.
"Brother Wang is too polite." The middle-aged man named Wang smiled as he placed the silver ingot that the middle-aged man named Li had pushed over into his sleeve. Then, he looked around to make sure that no one was paying attention to them. Then, he carefully said, "This important person is the current Protector of the Kingdom."
"Protector of the Kingdom?!!!" Hearing the middle-aged man surnamed Wang's words, the middle-aged man surnamed Li couldn't help but raise his voice. However, he immediately realized that he had lost his composure and hurriedly looked around to make sure that no one was paying attention to him before speaking to the middle-aged man surnamed Wang. "Brother Wang, are you talking about the Great Merciful Ship Protector of the Kingdom who is in charge of all the sacrifices and rituals in the palace?"
"Indeed!" The middle-aged man with the surname Wang proudly stroked the beard under his chin and nodded. "In today's world, besides him, who dares to be called the Protector of the Kingdom? Isn't he afraid of losing his head?"
"Brother Wang is right!" The middle-aged man surnamed Li rolled his eyes and nodded. He then asked, "I wonder if Brother Wang knows the purpose of the Country Protector's visit to Jinhua County …?"
"It is said that Lord Fazhang saw the common people living in the abyss of suffering, so he specially went out of the palace to the south to pray for the common people!" The middle-aged man surnamed Wang said.
"Lord Fazhang is truly a merciful man. Why worry that my Great Ming Dynasty will not prosper? Under the blessing of Lord Fazhang, our Great Ming Dynasty will be blessed with good weather. The country will prosper and the people will be at peace! "The scholar surnamed Li said with a respectful expression.
"It is precisely because of this so-called Country Protector that the whole world is in chaos." When Ye Xuan, who was sitting by the window, heard this, he stopped listening. He smiled coldly and retracted his attention from that side.
"If I kill this big demon Kṣitigarbha, I wonder how many luck points I can get?" Ye Xuan thought to himself as he picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip.
That's right. Ye Xuan's plan was to get rid of Kṣitigarbha. As the biggest villain boss in "A Chinese Ghost Story 2", if he could kill Kṣitigarbha, he should be able to get a lot of luck points.
"Sir, sorry for the long wait. Your dishes are here!" Just as Ye Xuan was thinking about how to kill Kṣitigarbha, the waiter had already brought some good wine and dishes from the restaurant.
"Waiter, I want to ask you something!" Looking at the waiter who carefully placed the wine and dishes, Ye Xuan suddenly asked.
"Sir, please ask away!" The waiter was naturally happy to answer this generous young master's question.
"Do you know of a place called Morality Mountain Villa nearby?" Ye Xuan looked at the waiter and asked.
"Uh …" The waiter thought for a while and finally shook his head. "I'm sorry, Young Master, I've never heard of this place."
"Go and ask around for me!" Ye Xuan was not disappointed with this result. He took out a piece of silver worth five taels and threw it to the waiter. He said calmly, "If I can hear any news about Morality Mountain Villa before tomorrow morning, I'll reward you handsomely!"
Some things were better handled by professionals than by himself. Although the waiter was only at the bottom of the restaurant, in this place where crooks mixed with honest folk every day, the information he could gather was definitely more than what ordinary people could imagine.
"Thank you, Young Master. Thank you, Young Master. I'll do my best!" The waiter happily took the silver that Ye Xuan threw to him. He was so excited that he kept nodding and bowing, attracting the attention of the customers in the restaurant.
"Alright, you may leave!" Ye Xuan waved his hand. After dismissing the waiter, he slowly began to eat the wine and dishes in front of him.
