When Ye Fan returned to the inn, he was surprised to find that there were already many people walking back and forth on the street.
These people were walking in a hurry, and they were all walking in the same direction. Everyone was carrying baskets and bags with all kinds of pastries and fruits, as well as a lot of incense, candles, and yellow paper.
Men and women, young and old, it was very lively.
What day is it today? Are they going to burn incense and offer offerings so early?
As Ye Fan was thinking, he landed in a corner next to the inn when no one was paying attention.
After landing on the ground, Ye Fan slowly walked into the inn.
At this time, the waiter was whispering something to the manager at the counter. When he saw Ye Fan coming in, he was immediately surprised.
"Se … Sir," the waiter asked Ye Fan in surprise, "You … You just came back?"
He had been at the counter all night and didn't see Ye Fan go out at all.
He didn't understand where Ye Fan went out from.
"Yes," Ye Fan answered as he walked in.
"Breakfast is almost ready. I'll send it to you in a while," the waiter said with a smile.
"What day is it today?" Ye Fan asked casually as he went up the stairs, "Why are there so many people?"
"What? You don't know? "The waiter's words were full of surprise.
Ye Fan stopped in his tracks. He turned around on the stairs and looked at the waiter.
"Sir, you don't know," the waiter looked up and said to Ye Fan, "Something strange happened last night."
"Something strange?" Ye Fan asked, "What strange thing?"
"It was so loud. Didn't you hear it outside?" the waiter said in surprise, "The River Dragon King of the Sishui River showed his divinity!"
"The Dragon King showed his divinity?" Ye Fan smiled bitterly in his heart. They thought that the noise he made was the River Dragon King showing his divinity.
"Yes, the Dragon King showed his divinity!" The waiter said to Ye Fan, "Someone saw the Dragon King flying up from the Sishui River!"
"How do you know that it's the Dragon King?" Ye Fan asked.
"What are you talking about?" The waiter said with a flattering smile. "Who else but the Dragon King has such great ability? Last night's rain is proof. "
"Rain?" Ye Fan asked, "Did it rain last night?"
He remembered clearly that the moon was bright and the stars were sparse in Ye Kong last night. How could there be any rain?
"Are you kidding me? You don't even know that it's raining," the waiter said with a smile. "That rain was made by the Dragon King. Many fish and shrimps fell from the sky. Now the county magistrate's masters are preparing to report this good news to the imperial court!"
Ye Fan now understood. The rain that the waiter was talking about was the water column that shot up into the sky when he used his second move. The water column shot up several hundred feet and collapsed when it fell, drifting away with the wind. Naturally, it was just like rain.
Those fish, shrimps, and crabs were brought out of the Sishui River by the water column.
Those mediocre officials usually did not know how to care about the suffering of the people, but when it came to such matters, they were more proactive than anyone else!
After reporting to the imperial court, they would definitely be promoted.
"Now the people have gone to the Sishui River to worship the Dragon King. Would you like to go and watch the fun?" the waiter asked Ye Fan.
Ye Fan did not know whether to laugh or cry at the waiter's words. If they knew that the water column that shot up into the sky was made by him, he wondered if they would worship him as the Dragon King.
"I don't like to join in the fun," Ye Fan said as he turned around, went up to the second floor, and came to the door of his room.
However, when he opened the door, he was surprised to find Akatsuki, wearing a crystal mask, leaning against the window and looking at him!
"You're back?" Akatsuki asked Ye Fan.
"Why are you here?" Ye Fan asked as he turned around and closed the door.
"I heard the noise in the Sishui River last night, so I came to find you. I didn't expect you to not be here," Akatsuki said as she stared into Ye Fan's eyes.
"I heard it last night, too. I didn't dare to disturb your rest, so I went to have a look myself." Ye Fan lied casually as he sat down in front of the table. He took an empty cup, picked up the teapot, and poured tea for himself.
After a busy night, he was now hungry and thirsty.
"Really?" Akatsuki asked, "You went after hearing the noise?"
"Yes," Ye Fan replied as he drank the tea.
"What were you doing before?" Akatsuki asked.
"Sleeping," Ye Fan answered casually.
Akatsuki did not speak, but turned to look at the bed.
On the bed, the bedding was neatly folded, and there was no trace of sleeping at all.
Obviously, Ye Fan was lying.
When Ye Fan saw the bed, he was stunned at first. Then, he fell silent.
It seemed that he was not good at lying, and now he was exposed. Ye Fan thought.
"If you want to act alone in the future, you can tell me directly. I won't pester you," Akatsuki said calmly, and directly walked out of Ye Fan's room.
Ye Fan continued to drink the tea.
Akatsuki was not as easy to deal with as he thought. She exposed his lie in a few words.
After going back this time, Akatsuki would definitely report this matter to Matsumoto Takeyoshi.
Whatever, if Matsumoto Takeyoshi asked about this matter, he would directly say that he went to look for the cauldron. As for why he did not take Akatsuki with him, he would say that Akatsuki's movements were slow, and he was afraid of wasting time. If Matsumoto Takeyoshi asked about the water column, he would say that he encountered a river monster underwater and had a fight.
That was it.
It seemed that he had a talent for lying.
Ye Fan thought as he drank the tea.
