Visitors
Pei Xilai wasn't really stupid. He knew he was wrong the moment he said it, but since he had already said it, he couldn't go back on his word and swallow it like medicine.
He looked around and found that there was nothing that could help him relieve the embarrassment, so he raised the medicine in his hand.
"I'll go fry it for Aoi."
Shen Siyan looked at him coldly: "How long do you think it will take for the City Lord to find this place?"
Pei Xilai: ...
They forgot that they were no longer the objects of the city lord's guilt.
Shen Siyan finally brought them to the inn.
He sent a message to Changxia, but there was no reply. He was probably still chasing Xie Fengxue. He put the kite in his arms, explained briefly, and told Linjiang: "Keep an eye on them."
Then he went out by himself.
Lin Jiang looked at Shen Siyan's back, then looked at Pei Xilai who was taking care of A Kui, rubbed his hands and said, "I saw an extra stove in the kitchen. Can I lend you one?"
Pei Xilai glanced hesitantly at the still unconscious A Kui and nodded: "Thank you for your help."
Linjiang had heard before that Young Master Pei killed monsters at the border, killing them one by one with his sword, without mercy. He didn't expect that he was actually quite polite, and couldn't help but take a second look at him.
Pei Xilai looked back at him in confusion.
Lin Jiang didn't feel guilty at all, he bowed and said, "Then please take good care of Miss A Kui, I'll go first."
After talking to the innkeeper and getting his consent, he went to the kitchen in the backyard. The cook knew why he was there and pointed to a door.
"Look, the stove we don't usually use is placed in that room."
Linjiang thanked him and walked straight towards the room.
I don't want there to be another person inside.
Lin Jiang was surprised and asked: "Ayan, what are you doing here?"
Chen Siyan turned around in panic and gathered the things on the ground. He had tried his best to cover it up, but Lin Jiang had sharp eyes and could still see that those were spirit stones.
The corner of his eye twitched unconsciously. He had followed Shen Siyan for hundreds of years, so he naturally knew some of his little quirks. After thinking for a long time, he could only comfort him: "It's okay, this inn is a bit expensive, but we can pass a note to get it reimbursed."
Shen Siyan didn't tell him about buying medicine, and didn't want to explain at this time. He said sadly and angrily: "Do you know how much a half-branch lotus flower costs?"
Lin Jiang answered subconsciously: "18 spirit stones."
Shen Siyan gritted his teeth.
He bought half a pound of this medicine alone, not to mention some other rare medicines.
I don’t know how Xie Fengxue controls the costs. The prescriptions he gives are the most expensive medicines available in Ziyou City.
He covered his chest and waved to Lin Jiang, "You take the stove to Pei Xi first. I'll just stay here and calm down for a while."
Linjiang didn't care how Shen Siyan knew he was coming to get the stove. After all, this guy was smart enough when he was smart, and he saw that his purpose was nothing.
He got the things and kept looking back at Shen Siyan who was counting money in the corner. He said worriedly, "I'm leaving."
Shen Siyan ignored him, Lin Jiang sighed and considerately closed the door for him.
After he left, Shen Siyan took out the kite, fiddled with it a few times, and sent a message to someone.
I have lost all the money I spent on the trip, so I have to find a way to make it up.
It was already daylight the next day when Chang Xia returned with Xie Fengxue. Shen Siyan had also sorted out his feelings when the three of them ran into Pei Xilai at the door of his room.
He glanced at Xie Fengxue. Her hair was not messy, her face was not disfigured, she seemed to be walking normally, and she had no injuries on her body.
Shen Siyan leaned on him and said, "Of course, Brother Xie, I remember that Chang Xia used to stab you twice with his sword."
Xie Fengxue looked at him dimly: "She is halfway through the tribulation, and I am at the peak of the fusion stage, half a major stage. If she stabs me with her sword, it will take at least twenty years off my life."
Even if the combined lifespan is 5,000 years, it cannot withstand such consumption.
Actually, his initial cultivation level was higher than Changxia's. After all, he had joined the sect a few years earlier, so he still had to maintain the dignity that a senior brother should have. Later, Changxia devoted himself to the way of the sword, and his progress was rapid. He learned a wide variety of things, and his cultivation level actually fell behind.
Now, when he faced the enemy, he used his medical skills and weapon control skills one by one, but his sword, Yi Ren Han, had not been unsheathed for a long time.
Chen Siyan asked Chang Xia curiously: "You just let him go like that?"
Xie Fengxue said with a strange expression: "Not really."
He and Changxia turned their heads to look at each other at the same time, and then turned away at the same time with guilt.
In fact, Changxia's condition for letting him go was to give him a Heart Moon Fox.
But they would never tell this to Shen Siyan even if they were beaten to death.
Xie Fengxue raised his hand and coughed lightly: "Let's continue to see Akui."
Although Shen Siyan wanted to ask them what happened last night, he didn't want to delay the important matter, so he knocked on the door.
"Pei Xilai, are you there?"
The door opened quickly, and inside was not Pei Xilai, but a round-faced girl.
She has a round face, round eyes and a round nose.
A very pleasing appearance.
Shen Siyan was surprised and asked: "Akui, you woke up so soon?"
The round-faced girl tilted her head and looked at him: "How do you know my name is Akui?"
Shen Siyan said: "Pei Xi said so."
He pointed at Xie Fengxue again and said, "Look, he saved you and came to see you for a follow-up examination today."
Xie Fengxue turned into that dignified, otherworldly demeanor again: "Where's your Qiao Songbai?"
Ah Kui replied: "He went to pick flowers for me."
Then she added, "I don't know you, so I can't let you in."
Shen Siyan was amused: "We can't do anything to you since you're outside the door?"
Akui thought about it and said slowly: "Yes."
Then put them in.
The room was filled with the bitter aroma of medicine. Thinking that those were his spirit stones, Chen Siyan picked up the teapot and drank three cups of water in a row before he suppressed the grief in his heart.
The four of them sat around the table. Akui supported her face with her hands, blinking her round eyes at them.
When Pei Xilai came back with a bunch of wild flowers, he saw such a strange scene.
He moved closer to Akui and smiled at the three of them, "What a coincidence! Everyone is here?"
A Kui said: "What a coincidence, we have been waiting for you for a long time."
As soon as he finished speaking, three pairs of eyes looked at him.
Pei Xilai: ...
"Akui..." Pei Xilai looked at the girl with complicated eyes. Seeing her confused look, he sighed and took back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
"Forget it, you're fine like this."
Changxia, Xie Fengxue, and Shen Siyan: ...
I finally understand how Akui was raised and how she had the guts to steal Diaoxue's sword intent.
After briefly explaining the situation, Xie Fengxue began to feel Akui's pulse. The injury was still serious, but much better than yesterday.
"The situation is not bad. Continue to drink the prescription. You will be almost fully recovered in a month or two. After that, you can only slowly recuperate."
Pei Xilai calculated the time in his mind and found that no matter how much he delayed, he would not be able to wait until A Kui recovered from his injury and returned to Sanchi Road. He couldn't help feeling a little frustrated.
Chang Xia patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, he and I still have some conscience and will help you take good care of your Akui."
Pei Xilai looked at them with a complicated expression.
He had heard of these two men's reputations, knowing they were disciples of the Sword Immortal, and had even considered them rivals. Later, when he heard that Changxia had slain three demon kings in a row at Chi Zhouhai, Pei Xilai estimated his own strength and from then on, he only considered himself the third best swordsman in the world, Changxia second, and his master first.
As for Bie Jingchun, he is the sword immortal and is above the sky.
He didn't completely trust her and Xie Fengxue yet. After all, they just met by chance and had no friendship to speak of. But there was no other way. He was even more worried about leaving the matter to someone else.
So now he could only nod and say, "Thank you both."
The guards of the City Lord's Mansion have been patrolling the city for the past two days. Fortunately, they know that the people staying in this inn are from Yunting, so they dare not disturb them.
They had a relatively peaceful time these past two days.
On the morning of the third day, there was a sudden commotion outside the city, waking up Changxia and Xie Fengxue.
The kite was buzzing, but neither of them was too lazy to pick it up and look at it.
Shen Siyan and Pei Xilai were so frightened that they quickly got up and knocked on the doors of Changxia and Xie Fengxue's rooms respectively.
Changxia covered his head with the quilt, and Xie Fengxue turned over and continued to sleep. Although they were two people in two rooms, they seemed to be doing the same thing.
The two of them looked at each other outside the door. There was really nothing they could do about this pair of brothers and sisters. They could only go outside the city to pick them up.
Three quarters of an hour later, Changxia's kite stopped flying, but Xie Fengxue's kite was still flying. This time, they finally got up.
You don’t even need to open the kite to know that Zuo Qin should win this time.
Changxia had a sad face and didn't know how to comfort her stingy master.
So as soon as Xie Fengxue left the room, she stuffed her kite at Xie Fengxue.
"Let's switch and say it's you who contacted the master."
Xie Fengxue looked at her with her hands folded. Changxia clasped her hands together and made a gesture of begging for mercy.
"Senior Brother~"
In the end, Xie Fengxue still exchanged with her.
Only then did she open Xie Fengxue's kite with satisfaction.
Zuo Qin said he would wait for them at the City Lord's Mansion.
Shen Siyan and Pei Xilai had already left. Chang Xia first went to see A Kui and told her not to go out. Then he asked Xie Fengxue to set up a barrier in her room before he felt at ease to go out.
As for Pei Xilai's paper-thin barrier, they simply ignored it.
Over the past two days, Xie Fengxue had curiously asked Pei Xilai how he had acquired his formation skills. When Pei Xilai said he had learned it on his own from ancient texts of the Jiang family, they felt as if that was indeed the case.
I knew it, how can a three-foot path produce a master of formation?
Although Pei Xilai's formation is really not that good.
The city lord didn't know Bie Jingchun and Zuo Qin, but he knew Chen Siyan. Seeing the two young men from Yunting Xianshangdu being so respectful, he didn't dare to neglect them and directly welcomed them to the main seat.
Pei Xilai, on the other hand, looked at the two people sitting up there who disliked each other, and his expression became much weirder.
He had never seen these two people before. How could he have imagined that a sword immortal with a frosty sword and a mountain master who had calculated everything in the world, two great figures who had been famous in the four realms for thousands of years, would actually look like teenagers of seventeen or eighteen years old?
However, the difference in their temperaments is very obvious. One is cold and sharp, and the other is kind and likable, so he can't be confused about them.
