The proprietress used a trick to clean up the mess, including the woman's clothes, and then compensated her with a dish, which stopped her dissatisfaction.
After finishing all this, the proprietress stuffed the tray back into the hands of the boy named Xiao Niu and said, "Hurry up and get back to work! There are so many customers waiting for their meals. If anything goes wrong again, I won't forgive you!"
Xiao Niu lowered his head and walked away. The surroundings returned to silence, with only the sounds of diners eating and occasional conversations.
Ning Chuanzhu retracted his gaze, "Xiao Niu has a wound on his arm."
He watched carefully and saw that when Xiao Niu took the plate, his arm shrank and there was a hint of pain on his face.
I guess he dropped it because he was injured.
Ning Zhishui nodded.
She saw it too, but... so what?
There are so many people in trouble in the world, and she can't help them all.
There are some injustices that you just see and there is nothing you can do about it.
After they finished their meal and paid the bill, they went back to the inn next door.
While getting the keys, a couple walked by.
The man has a square face, looks very upright, mature and steady.
The female cultivator was plump, fair and tender, with big eyes and a mole at the corner of her eye.
Seeing these two people, Ning Zhishui's brows moved——
It's strange, why does this woman look so familiar?
While trying to figure it out, I heard two people talking in low voices.
"What's going on? I've taken so many medicines but it's still not working."
"Isn't it the wrong symptom?"
"That shouldn't be the case. After trying so many, none of them worked? Qiao Xi is really unlucky. She got scratched by a branch and ended up bedridden. Sigh."
"I should have known not to bring Xixi here to eat fish. She fell ill before we even finished eating the fish."
"Let's leave tomorrow morning, go back to Luo'an City first, and then ask Master Lu Dan to check on Qiao Xi."
"That's all we can do."
Ning Zhishui was already frozen in place.
【Qiao Xi? Luo'an City! 】
【What a coincidence?】
"Little sister... Hey!" Ning Chuanzhu saw Ning Zhishui holding the key in a daze, so he patted her shoulder.
When Ning Zhishui came to his senses, he saw that the couple had gone upstairs and were gone.
"Wait a moment."
[Qiao Xi, is it Zhong Qiao Xi?! ]
Ning Zhishui followed him upstairs ten minutes later. When he reached the third floor, he saw the couple enter a room and close the door.
Her room was on the second floor, so she went downstairs with a heavy heart. When she got there, Ning Chuanzhu was waiting for her. Seeing her like this, his expression became serious. "What happened?"
What is Zhong Qiaoxi? Who is this person?
"Maybe I ran into an old friend." Ning Zhishui shook his head. "It's okay, let's go back to the room first."
[Zhong Qiaoku is Zhong Qiaonan's younger brother. Is only Qiao Xi here? What about Qiaonan? ]
Qiao Nan said that his sister was injured when she was a child. It was only a minor injury, but she was bedridden. She died a few days after returning home. Even the alchemist was helpless.
[Could it be that all this happened here at Xiao Chiyangtan? ]
[That woman's eyes look exactly like Qiao Nan's. Are they from the same family?]
Ning Chuanzhu looked at her and understood a little more, so he didn't ask any more questions.
"Okay, then go back to your room and rest. But if anything happens, just call me anytime."
Ning Zhishui nodded and returned to his room with a heavy heart.
Zhong Qiaonan, her "right protector", and Hua Jiaqing are her right-hand men.
Different from Hua Jiaqing's straightforward and tough style of doing things, Qiao Nan is very versatile and considerate in his dealings with others.
Qiao Nan has always had a hidden pain in his heart, that is the accidental death of his younger sister. This incident was a huge blow to his family and it was also a hurdle he could not get over.
He didn't explain the specific situation in detail, so Ning Zhishui had no way of knowing.
If the lady didn't look a bit like Qiao Nan, and her name Qiao Xi wasn't the same as Qiao Nan's sister, Ning Zhishui wouldn't have associated them together at all.
Ning Zhishui thought quietly for a while, then took out the transparent jade silk.
This is the secret of why she was able to remain invisible under the sea today and block the crucial attack for Hua Jiaqing.
The emphasis of "transparent jade silk" lies on the word "transparent".
After soaking for a long time, it will become completely transparent, and not only it will become transparent, but its owner will also become transparent along with it.
In this way, if Ning Zhishui is not there, he has a great chance of obtaining the spiritual object.
And now that Ning Zhishui is here, the success rate will naturally be higher.
The two walked to the restaurant next to the inn, planning to have a meal first and then rest.
The fried fish cakes were bought elsewhere. They were made with great skill and only lasted a few hours before closing up shop. Ning Chuanzhu was worried his sister wouldn't be able to eat them when she came, so he bought them in advance as a snack for her.
Having snacks doesn’t interfere with eating. Since you are here, you must try the local specialties to make the trip worthwhile.
Ning Chuanzhu listed all the special features before asking about Ning Zhishui's recent situation.
"...That's all I have to say. You don't have to worry about me. Everything is going well for me in Xianlai Sect." Ning Zhishui said.
"I hear news about you from time to time, and I know you should be doing well. But it's hard to guard against villains. You've become so popular right after you started, so it's inevitable that some people will be jealous of you. You'd better be careful." Ning Chuanzhu reminded.
When he said this, Ning Zhishui thought of the mother and son.
"Well, I'll keep an eye on it. How are you, though?"
Ning Chuanzhu laughed, "Of course I'm fine."
"What about Bai Lianxin? Has she looked for you?" Ning Zhishui asked curiously.
Ning Chuanzhu saw his sister's sparkling eyes and felt helpless and amused. "Is this something a little kid like you should ask?"
"Hmph, if you really think about it, we don't even know who is the little one!" Ning Zhishui shook his head.
She has lived a second life, a total of more than 300 years, so she must be more mature than her elder brother, okay!
"No matter how old you are, you are still my little sister." Ning Chuanzhu tapped her with his finger before answering, "She came to see me, but I ignored her."
"That's right. You can't judge people by their appearance alone. She looks weak, but in fact, her heart is black. You'd better stay away from her to avoid being plotted against again." Ning Zhishui said.
Ning Chuanzhu's eyes became strange as he looked at her.
"I'm talking about Bai Lianxin, why are you looking at me like that!"
"You can't judge people by their appearance alone. This applies to you as well." Ning Chuanzhu suppressed a smile. "Anyone who believes your age based on appearance will be eaten alive by you."
In response, Ning Zhishui gave a pure and harmless smile.
Suddenly, there was a scream in the restaurant, followed by the crisp sound of a plate falling to the ground.
The two of them looked over there at the same time and saw a skinny boy apologizing profusely, while the woman who had been splashed with soup from her plate raised her eyebrows and accused him, "How can you do your job? You can't even serve food!"
"I'm sorry..."
"Just say sorry and that's it?"
