The immortal sect is lofty, but the dynasty is collapsing. The court is treacherous, and the martial world is perilous. In these troubled times, human lives are no more valuable than grass.
C...
"Senior Brother, hurry up, Ping An Inn is just ahead."
"Junior Sister Jiang, wait for me."
Cao Tengfei followed behind, carrying a jar of wine.
"Senior Brother, that lousy wine is useless, you should just throw it away!"
"Junior Sister Jiang, you don't understand!"
How could Cao Tengfei bear to throw it away? He had spent thirty taels of silver to buy it.
Although I am currently full of energy, what Manager Yang said makes perfect sense; this is what it means to take precautions.
"Forget it, you're hopeless!"
......
“Young Master Li, I am Jiang Xue from the Golden Cauldron Sect, and this is my senior brother Cao Tengfei.”
"I've come to thank you for saving my life yesterday!"
Jiang Xue clasped her hands together, her beautiful eyes curiously scrutinizing Li Fan.
Extremely cold-blooded!
With just one glance, Jiang Xue felt as if she had been completely captivated.
This temperament is completely different from that of the scions of prominent families in the county town.
In his eyes, he seemed to be just an ordinary person.
"And how did you find me?"
Li Fan frowned slightly.
Forget about the county magistrate, the chief constable, the Big Knife Sect, and the Blood Sword Hall.
After all, they are local strongmen from Guangnan County.
But the two people in front of them were clearly from the Golden Cauldron Sect, and came from the county city.
Even if Jiang Xue remembered him, it was impossible for her to find him so easily.
"That's what the owner of Yang's Shop, who once employed you, said!"
"My senior brother was swindled out of thirty taels of silver by that old man in order to get this information."
"Junior Sister Jiang, I bought a jar of top-quality tonic wine, I wasn't cheated!"
Cao Tengfei offered a quiet defense.
"Hmph, you've been fooled and you won't admit it."
"Young Master Li, what are your thoughts...?"
"Miss Jiang, stop, stop."
Before Jiang Xue could finish speaking, Li Fan interrupted her, saying, "The reason I took action is because you fed this bastard."
"That plate of braised beef is the reward."
"We owe each other nothing, farewell!"
After Li Fan finished speaking, he walked out of the inn.
He felt it necessary to go and see Yang Dong.
That old man is wicked!
Selling their own information is one thing, but they don't even share the profits.
That's simply inhuman.
......
Watching Li Fan walk away, Jiang Xue stood there, fuming.
What kind of situation is this?
In traditional Chinese novels, it's always the case that a man would risk everything for a woman.
When a hero saves a damsel in distress, something is always bound to happen next.
Before she could even offer herself to him, he said it was only because she fed his dog.
Is my own beauty less valuable than feeding a dog?
"Pfft!"
Cao Tengfei, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Cao Tengfei, if you laugh at me again, I'll smash your drink!"
Jiang Xuenian raised his fist, as if to snatch the wine jar.
"Junior sister, you mustn't!"
"Waiter, bring two superior rooms!"
"Junior sister, isn't that unnecessary?"
"You haven't actually fallen for him, have you?"
The smile on Cao Tengfei's face vanished.
This is a very serious problem.
My junior sister is not just my master's disciple.
Her surname is Jiang, which means "the Jiang of the south".
Her marriage was not something she could decide for herself.
If something really happened between her and Li Fan, then many things would become very serious.
"Senior brother, what exactly are you thinking?"
"Li Fan killed two of Li Yuan's sworn brothers."
"If Li Yuan's personality is really as Lin Kaitai said, he will definitely seek revenge on Li Fan."
"We can use that time to avenge Senior Sister Wang!"
......
"Xiaoqian, learn from this!"
"See those suckers from the county town."
"Kill them as much as possible."
"These big shots are incredibly rich!"
Yang Dong sat behind the counter and laid out three silver ingots in a row.
"Hello, sir/madam, this is our shop..."
Is Manager Yang here?
Li Yuan looked at Yang Xiaoqian with a smile.
here we go again!
Yang Xiaoqian rolled her eyes and didn't continue the introduction.
Since yesterday, most of the people coming into the store have been inquiring about Yidaoke (a business service).
......
"Who are you?"
"Hello, Manager Yang. I am a martial arts instructor from Tiger Roar Martial Arts School. I would like to inquire about the next swordsman."
"Ten-Ingredient Eight-Whip Wine, one jar costs one hundred taels, no deception for the young or old!"
With a smile on his face, Yang Dong carried a jar of wine from under the counter.
"How many?"
Li Yuan's smile froze.
Don't talk about some bullshit "Perfect Eight-Whip Wine," even "Perfect Eighty-Eight-Whip Wine" wouldn't cost a hundred taels!
A night at the Red Sleeve Pavilion, as long as you don't choose the most beautiful courtesan, can cost you at most ten taels of silver.
Now this old guy actually dares to charge me one hundred taels.
He wished he could slap the old man in front of him to death right now.
But taking action now would only expose his whereabouts.
Tolerate!
Suppressing his anger, Li Yuan tentatively asked, "Could you make it a little cheaper?"
"One hundred taels, that's the price. Take it or leave it. If you don't want to buy, get lost!"
Yang Dong carried the wine jar back to the counter.
"Wait a minute, I need to go back and discuss this with the curator!"
Li Yuan turned and left Yang's shop.
He really didn't have a hundred taels of silver on him.
Even if he had it, he couldn't take it out now.
Which martial arts school would spend 100 taels of silver to buy information?
......
"Grandpa, is there something wrong with that person?"
You noticed?
"Tiger Roar Martial Arts School and Iron Mountain Martial Arts School are at odds, while the Swordsman is on good terms with Hu Fei of Iron Mountain Martial Arts School. They have no reason to inquire about the Swordsman's whereabouts."
"Besides, he looks too fierce. When he stares at me, I always feel a chill down my spine."
"Not bad, I've at least learned a bit of Grandpa's wisdom."
Yang Xiaoqian rolled her eyes and didn't reply.
Yang Dong put the wine away, put away the silver, leaned back in his recliner, and closed his eyes to rest.
trouble!
Hopefully, Li Fan will find us soon!
......
As the sun set, Li Fan appeared in front of Yang's shop.
What a handsome young man!
Yang Xiaoqian, who was packing her things, immediately stepped forward.
“Young master, I see that you have a magnificent bearing and must be a man of great potential.”
"But as the old saying goes, if you don't take care of yourself when you're young, you'll be too weak when you're old."
"Our shop offers the 'Ten-Ingredient Eight-Whip Wine,' which is said to have exceptional effects in strengthening the body and nourishing vital energy."
"One pot is enough to make it effective, and it only costs one tael of silver."
Li Fan's lips twitched. Such a good girl would definitely be a great candidate for live-streaming e-commerce if it were before the apocalypse.
"Excuse me, I'm here to see Manager Yang!"
here we go again!
"Grandpa, someone is looking for you!"
Yang Xiaoqian sat back down at the counter, at which point Yang Dong, who was lying down, suddenly sprang up.
"Li Fan, you've finally arrived!"
Yang Dong suddenly sat up from the recliner.
Yang Xiaoqian, who had sat back down at the counter, was stunned.
Li Fan?
Isn't that the name of that mysterious swordsman?
But doesn't he also have a wolf cub?
"Waaah!"
Just as Yang Xiaoqian was wondering what was going on, she heard a whimpering sound coming from beneath her.
The little silver wolf was scratching at the wine jar with its paws.
Their eyes met.
Yang Xiaoqian's face turned red at a visible speed.
It really is him!
This is so embarrassing!
......
"Were you waiting for me?"
"Otherwise what?"
"Old man, I've made twenty taels of silver selling your information these past few days, and I'm just waiting for you to come and split the profits!"
Yang Dong took out a silver ingot and handed it to Li Fan.
"That can't be right!"
"Cao Tengfei spent thirty taels of silver by himself!"
"And there's Li Feiyu, the county magistrate's steward, the Great Saber Sect, and the Blood Sword Hall!"
"Look at my memory!"
Yang Dong slapped his forehead and took out another silver ingot, handing it over. "Only Cao Tengfei earns a little more. We dare not charge the other four too much!"
So quick?
Li Fan did not accept the money; he felt that the old man in front of him had ill intentions.
