The light in the room was on, and under the orange halo, the girl's pretty silhouette danced on the window frame.
Xie Beiming looked at the silhouette and showed an expression of "as expected".
He curled the corners of his lips, shook his head and smiled helplessly, then gathered his spiritual power and fingertips to respond.
——Yes. I’m staying at the Fengkelai Inn.
Then he walked towards the guest room, stood at the door, and listened to the cheers of the girl in the room with a smile.
As if afraid of being heard, the girl's cheers were suppressed to a very low level, like a cat's humming.
Inside the room, Shen Qiqi clenched her fists excitedly, then jumped up and was about to open the door to go out. Suddenly, she thought of something and turned around to ask Yin Qiao.
"Yinqiao Yinqiao, please help me take a look at my complexion. Is it okay? Do I need some makeup or something?"
I originally thought that it would take a lot of effort to get the whereabouts from Xie Beiming, but I didn't expect that Mr. Xie was so simple and easy to coax. He confessed in less than two rounds.
Tsk, with such a weak guard, will he be easily kidnapped in the future?
Shen Qiqi suddenly felt a little worried, but she was only worried for a short while, because Yin Qiao said that she was naturally beautiful and even without makeup she was more beautiful than the fairies in the sky.
Did you hear that? Even fairies are not as pretty as her. Xie Beiming must be blind to run after others... If you really dare to run, I will break your legs.
So Shen Qiqi put this worry behind her and quickly wrote a line of words on the white jade board.
——Get ready, my spirit is coming to see you, go open the door.
This time she didn't say anything about "making the best use of it". She quickly scribbled a line of words and impatiently passed it on. Then she excitedly opened the door, and then...
Then Shen Qiqi froze in silence.
The corners of her mouth were still raised high, but her eyes were wide open due to the shock. She looked at the tall and handsome young man in front of the door and said in astonishment: "Master Xie, you..."
Why are you at my door?
Of course, she couldn't ask this directly, otherwise Xie Beiming would ask, "Why are you living in the room next to mine?"... How would she explain it?
The little motor in Shen Qiqi's brain was spinning rapidly.
Xie Beiming didn't say anything either. He just stood there with his hands behind his back, a faint smile on his lips, and looked at the girl in front of him quietly.
It seems to be saying: Don’t be in a hurry, think about it slowly.
Shen Qiqi: ...
Shen Qiqi was defeated and said angrily, "Okay, don't look at me like that. To be honest, I was actually allowed to end my confinement a day early. Not long after you left, I followed you here... I wanted to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect..."
I didn't expect you to give me a surprise.
After Shen Qiqi finished speaking, she glanced at Xie Beiming with a resentful look in her eyes. Seeing that he was still trying to hold back a smile, she suddenly became a little annoyed and snorted, "Laugh if you want to. Don't hold it in. It will make you sick... I really didn't expect that Master Xie would actually learn to play tricks on people."
She was worried that he was naive and easy to be fooled... After all this time, it turned out that she was the fool.
The more Shen Qiqi thought about it, the more discouraged she became, and her shoulders couldn't help but slump down again and again.
Even the light in his eyes dimmed.
Xie Beiming: ...He seems to have done something wrong.
The innkeeper had been waiting downstairs. Upon seeing the two of them meet, he hurried upstairs as planned, smiling broadly at them, "Would you two immortals like to have a meal? Well, you've come all the way to Furong Town to exorcise demons and monsters, and you've worked incredibly hard. So, we at Fengkelai Inn have specially prepared a meal..."
"Thank you for your kindness, shopkeeper, but we are not hungry now." Before the shopkeeper could finish his words, Shen Qiqi interrupted.
The shopkeeper was stunned.
This line doesn't match what they had discussed beforehand. Shouldn't the fairy lady say yes, yes? Why couldn't she just wait for him to finish speaking before refusing?
The old shopkeeper had seen countless people. He rolled back and forth between the two people in front of him and suddenly realized: they had a quarrel! The two must have been quarreling. You could tell by the fairy's listless look.
The old shopkeeper felt that he had taken two ingots of silver from Chen Qiqi and had to help her get the job done. He was about to use his eloquence to persuade her to reconcile, but Xie Beiming, who was silently reflecting on himself, interrupted and said, "I heard that the chef of the inn is very good at cooking. Since the shopkeeper has invited me so kindly..."
As he spoke, he looked at Shen Qiqi: "How can we refuse?"
The shopkeeper quickly said, "Yes, yes, we all need to eat. Only when we have a full stomach can we have the strength to fight the demons and monsters."
I thought to myself: "Fairy, look, your lover has already taken the initiative to bow his head and surrender, you should also quickly go down the ladder."
Shen Qiqi also wanted to go down the ladder.
But the banquet was held in the greenhouse, and with Xie Beiming's "hidden" nature, it was unclear who would be scared by then.
Forget it. I suffered a setback in my first battle today and am not in good shape. I’d better fight again another day.
Shen Qiqi shook her head and declined politely: "Thank you for your kindness, shopkeeper, but I'm a little sleepy today, so let's talk about it another day."
She emphasized "Let's talk about it another day."
The old shopkeeper was a shrewd man. He understood what was going on as soon as he heard it. He thought, let's do it another day, as long as he doesn't have to ask for the two silver ingots in the purse back.
So he also smiled and said, "Since the fairy ladies are tired today, let's do it another day. Then, I won't disturb the two fairy ladies to rest."
The shopkeeper didn't linger any longer after he finished speaking and was about to turn around and leave, but at this moment, a noise came from downstairs.
A waiter hurried up and said, "Boss, something bad has happened. The people from the Big Qi family and the Small Qi family are fighting. Go down and take a look."
The shopkeeper frowned: "Is it because of the kidnapping incident again?"
"Yes, the people from the Da Qi family insisted on taking Miss Shen away from our inn, and the people from the Xiao Qi family refused to agree. Now, the two families are fighting again!"
The young man stamped his feet in anxiety.
When Shen Qiqi heard the words "Miss Shen", she subconsciously thought of Shen Ning'er for some reason, so she hurriedly asked the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, what's going on? Why are they robbing people? Who is Miss Shen?"
The shopkeeper said, "What you don't know, Fairy? Miss Shen is the eldest daughter of the Shen family in Yuzhou. Although she is young, she is very capable. So many fairies and immortals have been unable to deal with that evil spirit, but only Miss Shen has injured it once and even saved a person from its clutches..."
Before he could finish his words, a woman's clear and delicate voice suddenly rang out from downstairs: "Stop!"
Shen Qiqi subconsciously looked downstairs in the direction of the sound. When she looked closely, she saw that it was indeed Shen Ning'er standing there. She was about to sneer in disdain, but her eyes suddenly widened at something she saw. She looked at the girl standing next to Shen Ning'er in disbelief.
Who else could it be but Qingluo, the girl with thin eyebrows and long eyes standing behind Shen Ning'er!
But why would Qingluo stand with Shen Ning'er?
Could it be that the mute maid who suddenly appeared beside Shen Ning'er was Qingluo? !
