Mo Yunhan really didn't bring that much silver with him.
He took a half step back and looked at Hu Sheng.
"I appreciate your kindness, but I'm sorry to have bothered you."
Then he turned to the shopkeeper.
"You're number one, right? Please lead the way."
The shopkeeper was taken aback for a moment, then quickly bowed and gestured for him to enter.
Qi Huang's hand was still frozen in mid-air.
I never expected this person to be so lacking in martial ethics.
Chi Wen suppressed a laugh and reminded him,
"Sister, there really is only one room left. Don't let him get there first."
Qi Huang took a deep breath, grabbed the silver notes from the table, stuffed them back into her bosom, and turned to chase after him.
Watching her departing figure,
Chi Wen laughed so hard she leaned against Hu Sheng's chest.
"Brother Sheng, those two seem like a bickering couple."
Hu Sheng sighed and gently pinched her cheek.
"You must be exhausted from the journey. Come on, go to the backyard to wash up and get a good night's sleep. As for the wedding, we'll handle it properly after your uncle and father have taken care of everything. We absolutely cannot let you suffer any injustice."
Upon hearing this, Chi Wen snuggled closer to him.
“I’m not wronged. We’ll consummate our marriage tonight. If the Emperor really dares to be tyrannical and reckless, I’ll still be your Hu family’s daughter-in-law even if I die.”
Hu Sheng hugged her tightly.
But worry was hard to hide in his eyes.
"Hopefully, the Regent can restore order and bring peace and prosperity to the Great Zhou Dynasty."
...
Inside Room No. 1 (Top Class)
Qi Huang and Mo Yunhan sat facing each other.
Their eyes held a murderous glint, refusing to yield an inch to anyone.
The shopkeeper led the person away immediately.
Qi Huang snorted coldly.
"Didn't you say you have someone you deeply love? If your lover knew that you were sharing a room with another woman, I wonder what she would think?"
Mo Yunhan leisurely sipped his tea.
The eyes behind the mask held a calculating glint.
“The one I love will believe me. There’s no need for you to worry. Since things have come to this, there’s no need for us to hide anything from each other. We’re both after the Seven-Colored Phoenix Grass, so why don’t we join forces?”
This is the best way to prevent this person from stealing the Phoenix Grass without anyone noticing.
He raised his hand and personally poured Qi Huang a cup of hot tea.
"Your martial arts skills are truly pathetic. Although you possess supernatural abilities, it will be difficult for you to seize the treasure on your own. How about we cooperate, and after we obtain the treasure, we will divide the Phoenix Grass in two? What do you say?"
Qi Huang sneered.
"After you steal the treasure, are you sure you'll share half with me instead of just taking it all?"
Mo Yunhan also smiled.
There was no warmth in his eyes.
“Young lady, you shouldn’t slander your savior. If it weren’t for me, you might have died in Yishui Town long ago, and you wouldn’t have had the chance to seize the treasure.”
The two looked at each other.
Not giving an inch.
The murderous aura spread rampantly, and the schemes were openly plotted, yet no one dared to expose them.
At this moment, the waiter was ordered to come and deliver the meal.
Both of them turned their faces away at the same time, but neither of them got up.
The atmosphere in the room was eerie.
The waiter didn't dare to say much, but enthusiastically introduced the restaurant's signature dishes and thoughtfully brought over two jugs of wine.
"The manager instructed that you two are honored guests, and you should not hesitate to call me if you need anything."
After saying that, he left.
Qi Huang and Mo Yunhan reached for the wine almost simultaneously.
Their movements faltered, and their eyes met again.
However, each had its own complaints.
They clearly disliked each other, yet neither was willing to admit defeat or back down.
The meal was a real battleground.
By the time we finished eating, night had completely fallen.
The waiter came over to collect the plates.
"Since you two are new to Yunhai City, you can't miss the night market. Yunhai City has a tradition of holding night markets, with lanterns and boats on the lake, making it a lively place. Now, because the Xiaoyao Sword Sect has set up a martial arts arena here, the number of heroes coming and going is even greater, making the night market more lively than ever before."
Qi Huang's eyes flickered as she asked for directions to the night market, then stood up and walked out.
I had only taken two steps when I sensed someone following me.
She was speechless.
Stand still and turn sideways.
"You go first."
Mo Yunhan originally intended to follow her and monitor her.
Hearing this, he showed no embarrassment whatsoever at being caught red-handed.
He casually tossed out a sentence.
"This girl really loves to be delusional."
After finishing his rant, he walked out first, and a few breaths later, he landed on the rooftop of the building across the street.
After waiting for a while, he suddenly let out a light snort of annoyance.
"That woman probably escaped using the black mist a long time ago."
Just as he expected.
Qi Huang had indeed appeared unnoticed on the shopping street near the night market.
She didn't come to Yunhai City solely for the Seven-Colored Phoenix Grass.
Yunhai City is the largest medicinal herb trading city near the capital.
Not only are there many herb farmers, but there are also many merchants coming and going to trade medicinal materials.
She wanted to find some good medicinal herbs and take advantage of the convenience of alchemy to quickly improve her health.
After visiting several places, I had quite a few finds.
I just moved to a new pharmacy.
Then a cry of pain came from inside the room.
"Be gentle."
This was followed by the doctor's sigh.
"My esteemed doctor, I can only treat your external injuries. Your internal injuries will require proper care and treatment."
The servant who was dispensing the medicine couldn't help but shake his head.
"The competition hasn't even started yet, how come there are so many injured people? There have been six today alone."
Another person said,
"Someone must have sabotaged things to eliminate potential opponents in advance so that they could win on the day of the competition."
As they were talking, the person who treated and bandaged the wounds from the inner room came out.
He carried a long sword, and inside his half-open robe, there was a blood-stained bandage tied around his waist.
His breathing was unsteady when he walked, which clearly indicated that his internal injuries were also quite severe.
