In the middle of the night, the inn was actually very lively. It was almost overcrowded, so much so that Lin Muyu had to spend three Jinyin coins to get two empty rooms. After carefully instructing the waiter to feed the horses, Lin Muyu took off her straw cape and walked into the inn's lobby with the two beautiful women.
The moment they stepped into the lobby, they could feel the evil around them.
There were four people sitting at a table on the left, all dressed in mercenary attire. Their battle axes and broadswords were placed on the table. The mercenaries were burly, and there were scars on their faces and arms. It was obvious that they lived a life of blood on the edge of a knife. When Lin Muyu walked in with Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi, the mercenaries immediately looked over. Their gazes fell on the two beautiful women's impressive figures and beautiful faces, and they immediately burst into laughter.
Lin Muyu frowned and ignored the group of people. These mercenaries were only at the Human Realm. To put it bluntly, they were only slightly stronger than ordinary people. They did not even know how to use their spiritual senses to sense the strength of their opponent's aura. However, in the corner of the inn, a swordsman who was drinking by himself surprised Lin Muyu. This person had a thin sword on the table and was drinking one cup after another. He did not look at her at all.
Using the Spirit Meridian Technique, Lin Muyu quickly sensed that this person's body did not have Essential Qi or Battle Qi. Instead, it was a rather violent aura, and it was very vigorous!
Who could it be? Was it a demon? His head was lowered, and Lin Muyu could not see his eyes, so she could not be sure.
…
After finding an empty table and sitting down, Lin Muyu ordered, "Waiter, give me a pot of wine, a few of your signature dishes, and a plate of steamed buns. That's all."
"Alright, please wait for a moment, dear customer!"
After Qin Yin sat down, she took off her cloak and untied her hair. Her long hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall. She smiled and said, "We are very close to Divine Shadow City. We are at most two days away from the Cloud Ridge. I didn't expect us to travel so fast."
Tang Xiaoxi giggled and said rather proudly, "Our Endless Forest's warhorses are the best in the world. Their leg strength and endurance are few and far between on the continent. Our mounts are also the best in the Endless Forest, so traveling a thousand miles in a day is nothing difficult."
Qin Yin couldn't help but smile, "Okay, the warhorses of the Endless Forest are the best, okay?"
Lin Muyu said: "Along the way, I heard that a divine weapon fell from the Heaven Realm on the Cloud Ridge, which is why countless experts came here to fight for it. After so many days, it is said that the divine weapon is still ownerless."
"A divine weapon that fell from the Heaven Realm?"
Tang Xiaoxi opened her mouth and said, "It sounds so powerful. Mumu, do you know what it is?"
"I don't know."
Lin Muyu shook her head and said, "Moreover, after so many days, the world still hasn't found this divine weapon. Something must have happened, or … someone is spreading rumors. In reality, there is no such divine weapon."
At this point, Lin Muyu faintly felt that someone was looking in their direction. It was the young warrior who was drinking wine with his head lowered.
Qin Yin sat there in a dignified and virtuous manner. She smiled and said, "No problem, we will know the truth when we get there."
"Okay."
At this time, the waiter had already started to serve wine and dishes, filling the table. The big white steamed buns also looked very tempting. After a day of continuous travel, Lin Muyu was long famished. She didn't hesitate to grab a steamed bun and take a bite. It was very fragrant.
Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi had been influenced by noble etiquette since they were young. Naturally, they wouldn't wolf down their food like Lin Muyu. Even if they were really hungry, they would maintain their ladylike demeanor and eat in small bites.
Just as Lin Muyu ate the third steamed bun and half a white fish, a few mercenaries at a table not far away were already drunk. One by one, they carried wine jugs and wine glasses and walked over. One of them stood beside Lin Muyu and said with a smile, "Little brother, you are so lucky to have two beautiful women drinking with you. I am so envious!"
Another mercenary with a dagger on his waist laughed and said, "Two ladies, how about you do us the honor of drinking with us?"
A smile appeared on Tang Xiaoxi's face. She raised her head and glanced at the mercenaries. "How do you want to play?" she asked with a smile.
"Haha, this lady has asked a good question." The mercenary with two scars on his face grinned and said, "Play is play. If you can make us brothers happy today, we will bring you to the Cloud Ridge to look for the Divine Weapon tomorrow. How about it?"
As he spoke, he unsheathed the dagger at his waist. With a 'shua shua' sound, rays of light shot out like shuttle shuttles. He raised his eyebrows and said, "You have a good eye. The abilities of us brothers are not something that this hotheaded pretty boy can compare to."
Lin Muyu was immediately unhappy. She held the steamed bun in her hand and said, "Hothead, you can't be talking about me, right?"
"I'm talking about you. What about it? Can't I?" The mercenary tilted his head and looked at Lin Muyu as he laughed.
Behind them, when the waiters saw these mercenaries drinking and causing trouble, none of them dared to say anything. They all hid behind the counter as if they were afraid of being accidentally injured. This kind of thing must have happened frequently in this inn.
Qin Yin smiled and said, "Brother Yu, don't be polite. Teach them a lesson and let them know how high the heavens are and how deep the earth is."
Lin Muyu nodded and slowly stood up. She discovered that she was not as tall as these mercenaries. She felt as if she had suffered a blow and the dignity in her eyes suddenly increased. She said in a low voice, "Don't you think it's impolite to stand and talk to me?"
Under the pressure of the domain, the mercenaries felt as if their legs were filled with lead. One by one, they knelt in front of Lin Muyu.
Lin Muyu held half a steamed bun in her hand and smiled at the scar-faced mercenary. "What is this?"
The scar-faced mercenary's face was filled with anger. "Bastard, what kind of sorcery did you use on me?"
"I only want to ask you, what is this?"
"Half a steamed bun!"
"No, not half a steamed bun." Lin Muyu smiled brightly. "It's half a steamed bun to send you out."
"What did you say?"
Before the scar-faced mercenary could say anything else, the half steamed bun in Lin Muyu's hand suddenly flew out!
"Bang!"
An oppressive force slammed into the scar-faced mercenary's chest and the faint sound of his ribs breaking could be heard. The scar-faced mercenary's body flew out like a cannonball and smashed through the window. He fell into the muddy water outside and screamed miserably.
"You dare to take liberties with my girl? You're looking to die!" Lin Muyu said lightly.
Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi were expressionless. "What do you mean by your girl? It sounds weird …"
"You dare to take liberties with my girl? You're looking to die!" Lin Muyu repeated.
"Are we just your girls?" The two girls asked proudly.
"You dare to take liberties with my girl? You're looking to die!" Lin Muyu corrected herself.
"Are we your girls?!" The two girls blushed.
"You dare to take liberties with my girl … You're looking to die." Lin Muyu wanted to die. An empress and a princess were both hard to please.
… …
The faces of the other mercenaries turned pale. One of them who had good eyesight hurriedly cupped his fists and said, "This … this Young Master, we have eyes but failed to see and have offended you. We hope that you will forgive us and spare our lowly lives!"
As he spoke, he knelt down again.
Lin Muyu glanced at him. These mercenaries must have bullied a lot of people. Lin Muyu said, "Go pay the bill and get out. Remember, use 'roll'."
"Yes … Yes, young master, we will get out now!"
He grabbed a handful of silver coins and threw them on the counter. Immediately, he bent his body and rolled out of the room. He was covered in mud. These people were the ones who knew what to do. Rolling in mud was definitely more worthwhile than having a few broken bones.
… …
At this moment, a group of people sitting on the other side of the hall stood up. One of them, who was about 30 years old and dressed in luxurious clothes, walked forward with a long sword in his hand. He cupped his hands and said, "Sir, you seem to have extraordinary skills. You must be aiming for the Divine Weapon, right? There are many spirit beasts and bandits on the way from Divine Shadows City to Yunling. Why don't we travel together? "
Lin Muyu asked, "May I know who you are?"
"Oh, I'm Yuchi Cai, the young master of the Ten Thousand Swords Villa in Divine Shadow City. I'm from a branch family of the Yuchi family in Heaven's Pivot Province. I'm at the Third Firmament of the Earth Realm. The people behind me are my retainers, and their strength ranges from the Human Realm to the Heaven Realm. There are more than twenty of them.
"Young Master Yuchi, do you know where the Divine Weapon is?" Lin Muyu asked.
"I do." Yuchi Cai's voice deepened as he said, "The Divine Weapon fell from the Heaven Realm and smashed a huge crater on the west side of the Cloud Ridge. However, no one could find the Divine Weapon. There were only corpses and traces of battle left at the scene. Many people were killed. I'm guessing that the Divine Weapon must have fallen into the hands of an expert or a spirit beast."
"I see …" Lin Muyu thought for a moment and asked, "Xiao Yin, this Young Master Yuchi knows where the Divine Weapon is. Should we travel together?"
Qin Yin smiled. "I'll listen to you."
"Alright."
Lin Muyu nodded. "Young Master Yuchi, let's travel together. I am Lin Zhi. I hope we can look out for each other along the way. When we reach Yunling, we will split up and search for the Divine Weapon on our own."
"Alright, that's exactly what I want!"
… …
That night, the autumn rain still did not stop.
The autumn wind blew in through the gaps between the windows, and the candlelight swayed gently. Tang Xiaoxi and Qin Yin were studying the map carefully, while Lin Muyu stood by the window, looking at the rainy night outside in silence.
"Mu, why did you agree to travel with Yuchi Cai?" Tang Xiaoxi suddenly asked.
"We are unfamiliar with this place, so we can't find the way."
Lin Muyu thought for a moment and said, "A few years ago, after we recovered Tianshu Province from the Yihe Kingdom, wasn't the Yuchi family executed for treason? Why are there still so many people … "
Qin Yin smiled and explained, "Although I ordered the execution of the Yuchi family, Tianshu Province was under Grandfather's control. It seems that after General Feng conquered Divine Shadow City, Grandfather did not order the execution of Yuchi Tian, Yuchi Yan, and the others. Instead, he secretly left them in the Imperial Capital and gathered the Yuchi family to forge weapons for Grandfather. Because of this, the quality of the weapons of the Steel Blade Army is no less than that of the Longdan Army Camp."
"I see. I knew it …"
