"This is great. It's already so late but there's still room in the inn!" Bingqian's eyes lit up. She held onto Yang Jing's hand and didn't let go. She was very happy.
Yang Jing smiled. She was very happy. Normally, the inn would be full by now. She didn't think that there would be room in this inn.
Ye Zifeng stared at the middle aged man for a while, "I don't see any inns on this street. Boss, you're walking a bit too far. Also, how do you know that we don't have any rooms in Tiandao City?"
The middle-aged man stared blankly for a moment before responding with an apologetic smile, "Little Brother, you may not know this, but at this time, there are often people from outside the city coming in. Moreover, I saw that after your carriage entered the city, it didn't seem to be heading in any direction, so I guessed that you wanted to stay for the night."
"Oh? Is that so? "Ye Zifeng was still suspicious.
Bingqian was tired after working for the whole day. Yang Jing was even more tired.
She looked at Yang Jing's pale face and tried to persuade her, "Big brother rough guy. It's not easy for them to do business. It's hard for them to come up and ask questions. Don't doubt them. They won't charge you too much right?"
The middle aged man quickly waved his hands, "It's not expensive. It's not expensive at all. Our Heavenly Fortune Inn is located in a remote area. It's hard for us to do business here. However, the price is very reasonable. Since there are three of you, how about we get two rooms? We'll only charge you five gold coins per night."
"Five gold coins for two rooms?"
Bingqian and Yang Jing looked at each other. In Tiandao City, this price was very reasonable. It could even be described as cheap.
"Let's go. Senior sister Jing. We'll leave the carriage with the guards at the city gates and follow the boss to his inn."
Yang Jing smiled and nodded. She was worried that she would have to sleep on the streets. But now, it seems like she was worrying too much.
… …
The corner of Ye Zifeng's mouth raised into a smile. In his heart, he was already on guard.
"For five gold coins? Is it worth it for a boss to come all the way here? That's too low of a status. Fine, I'll settle these trivial matters as soon as possible so that I can start preparing for the alchemy competition. "
Thus, while the middle aged man was leading the way, Ye Zifeng was constantly looking around. If there was anything out of the ordinary, he would stop and look around …..
Liu Bing Qian followed them all the way and saw that the place they were walking in was getting more and more desolate. She couldn't help but ask, "Boss, how remote is your hotel? We've been walking for so long, why haven't we arrived yet?"
"Soon, soon, it's just in front."
The middle-aged man smiled awkwardly and quickened his pace. With his back facing the crowd, the corners of his mouth curled into a sly smile.
After an unknown amount of time, Liu Bing Qian was already out of breath. Yang Jing's body was already weak, and with the bumpy road that day, she was so tired that she almost couldn't stand.
"Boss …" Liu Bing Qian couldn't help but want to speak again.
"We're here, we're here. Look, aren't we?" The middle-aged man pointed at the shabby inn in front of him and turned around with a smile.
Liu Bing Qian raised her head and looked at the sign that had the words "Heavenly Fortune Inn" written on it. She bitterly smiled.
"Boss, your inn is pretty shabby. It looks like you haven't had any guests in a few days. Whatever. As long as we can make do for one night. Here you go. Here's five gold coins. "
Even though she was the young miss of the Liu clan, she had suffered a lot since she was young due to alchemy. Thus, she wasn't a pretentious woman. As long as she wasn't living in a grass nest, she wouldn't ask for too much.
The middle-aged man took the five gold coins with a smile and reached inside. "Come, please. This inn is indeed remote and a little run-down, but the service is excellent. I don't know if you've eaten before. Wait a moment, do you want me to serve you supper?"
"There's a midnight snack? Speaking of which, I'm a bit hungry. "Liu Bing Qian giggled and had an awkward expression on her face.
They did bring some rations, but it wasn't as good as the supper that they made on the spot.
Yang Jing giggled, "Junior sister. It's been so many years and you still have the habit of eating supper? However, with the way you eat, you're able to maintain your slim figure. I'm so envious of you! "
Bingqian's expression changed. She gave Yang Jing a look to tell her that there was someone else here. However, when she turned around to look at Ye Zifeng, she saw that he was resting with his eyes closed. She didn't know what he was thinking about.
"Big brother rough guy. You haven't said a word since we started. If I didn't see you following us, I would've thought that you were asleep. Are you alright? "
Hearing this, Ye Feng was stunned. Threads of spiritual energy suddenly returned to his mind. He opened his eyes slightly. He smiled, "Since you guys are all eating supper, then count me in. Boss. Give me a supper too. Measure it up."
A cold glint flashed across the middle-aged man's eyes, but it was gone in a flash. He chuckled and said, "Of course, young master, you won't be left out of your share."
He turned around and ordered the workers in the inn, "Tong Sheng. Bring the three guests to the two rooms on the east side. Don't neglect the guests! "
When Tong Sheng heard this, he chuckled and hurriedly called out, "Alright, come, my three guests, please come up!"
… …
Liu Bingqian and Yang Jing sat in the guest room with their heads lowered. Their beautiful eyes were filled with complex emotions.
"Big brother rough guy. That can't be right. According to you, is this inn really a shady place? I think the owner is a good person. "
"Yeah. Young master Ye. Could it be that you're too tired and nervous? Why don't you rest early?" Yang Jing had a confused look on her face. She didn't think that there was anything strange about this place.
The two girls didn't know much about the world. Naturally, they couldn't compare to Ye Zifeng who had lived two lives. Ye Zifeng could see through this kind of black-hearted boss with one look. Moreover, he guessed that the owner of this black shop must be in cahoots with the people who were following him and trying to harm him.
On the way here, Ye Zifeng noticed that there were people who came to this inn before them. This inn was very secluded. There shouldn't be anyone who came here.
Ye Zifeng smiled and shook his head, "There's a thick layer of dust in the hallway. It's obvious that they didn't clean it properly. The boss didn't even ask about our relationship and just gave us two rooms. Don't you guys think it's weird?"
Bingqian was shocked and embarrassed as she looked at Ye Zifeng, "From what I see, you're the weird one. Why didn't the owner give us two rooms? Could it be that he's giving us two rooms? "
At Yang Jing's age, it was the first time for her to be in love. She immediately came back to her senses and blushed a little.
"Young master Ye. I didn't think that you were such a frivolous person. I was wrong about you."
"Hold on."
Ye Zifeng bitterly smiled and felt wronged, "What I mean is ….. Can't three rooms be enough?"
"Ah!" The two girls let out a soft cry. Their faces were burning, and they quickly lowered their heads in embarrassment.
"Can't you say it more clearly? It's so easy to misunderstand ….."
Bingqian's face turned red and quickly changed the topic, "Alright. Then according to what you said, if there's really something wrong with this inn, what do you plan to do?"
Ye Zifeng followed along and smiled, "Do you remember when they said that they were going to give us supper?"
"Don't tell me … he wants to …" Yang Jing seemed to have realized something. Her eyes immediately widened, and her expression became slightly anxious.
She was timid by nature and had a weak body. Although her martial arts realm was already at the seventh level of the Qi Refining Realm, the actual level that she could use was probably only at the sixth level. Therefore, what she feared the most was fighting.
"Don't worry. I've been paying attention. The strongest person around here is only at the 8th stage of qi refining. It's obvious that he's not here to deal with you guys. He's here to deal with me."
When Liu Bing Qian heard this, her beautiful eyes flashed with a strange light. Her expression revealed a hint of worry for Ye Feng.
"No way. Big brother rough guy. How do you know that there's someone at the 8th stage of qi refining nearby?"
It was not difficult to use Spiritual Qi to detect the existence of the people around you from afar. However, that was something only a Martial Disciple could do. As for probing that person's realm on top of that, it required someone in the Martial Disciple realm to do so.
But Ye Zifeng is only at the peak of the 5th stage of qi refining. How did he do this? Liu Bing Qian couldn't help but feel extremely puzzled.
Ye Zifeng smiled mysteriously and didn't answer her question.
"Let's not talk about this right now. I'm in danger right now. Bingqian, are you willing to help me? "
Bingqian's face turned red, "Who's willing to help you. You stupid blockhead."
"Since it's like this, I'll go find Miss Jing ….." Ye Zifeng replied.
"Young master Ye, I ….." Yang Jing smiled. Being stuck between the two of them was a bit difficult.
"Hold on …." Bingqian turned around and looked at Ye Zifeng, "Senior sister Jing is so weak. A gust of wind can blow her over. You still have the nerve to ask her to help you? Tell me. What do you want? I'll think about it. "
Ye Zifeng smiled, "Actually, it's not that hard. I think that if we don't beat them at their own game and act like we've been tricked, the mastermind won't show himself. So, I think that we can put on a show together ….."
His calm expression suddenly became incomparably grave and stern, as if it was as cold as ice.
