That night, everyone rested well, save for Jin Yuguang, who was covered in dust and grief-stricken. The next morning, they continued on their journey to Black Stone City. Ten days later, they returned to Cangshan City.
Seeing that it was getting late, Mu Hanyan decided to stay for one night before leaving. Anyway, there would be a carriage on the way back, so there was no need to travel so hard.
"Boss, please bring us six rooms." After entering an inn, Mu Hanyan said to the boss who was dozing off on the counter.
"I'm coming." The shopkeeper woke up immediately and came forward with a smile on his face.
Cangshan City is extremely remote. If it weren't for the trials held every few years at Zhengying College, it would be difficult to have business. Although the business can last for three years after opening, it would of course be better to make some money on a regular basis. After all, an ant is meat, no matter how small it is.
What's more, these people were dressed in extraordinary clothes and asked for six upper rooms. He didn't dare to neglect them.
"Why do we need six rooms? Brother Hanyan, can't I just sleep with you?" Mu Cheng said at this time, but suddenly felt a chill on his back. Turning around, he saw Ye Lanxuan's dark face, and the cold air emanating from his body.
"Pretend I didn't say anything. Go to room six, upstairs. Boss, hurry up." Mu Cheng's scalp tightened, and he turned to urge the boss.
"Okay, okay." The shopkeeper nodded happily.
"Wait, we have booked this inn." At this moment, an arrogant voice came.
A dozen guards in swordsman-like attire escorted a young man in, all with a look of pride on their faces. They didn't even glance at Mu Hanyan and the others. Nor did they notice Ye Lanxun and Jin Yuguang standing behind Mu Hanyan. Ye Lanxun and Jin Yuguang were still dressed in black, with their heads lowered, standing in the back, making their faces unclear and diminishing their presence.
"Sir, I'm really sorry. These guests came first and booked six upper rooms. How about you book the rest?" said the shopkeeper with a smile.
Mu Hanyan looked at the shopkeeper with admiration. This man was not a mercenary. If it were the kind of mercenary who only cared about profit, he would not care about them when he heard that someone wanted to book the entire inn. He was lucky that he didn't kick them out immediately.
You have to know that this is Cangshan City. Apart from the Zhengying Academy trials held every few years, there may not be such a big customer coming in a hundred years.
"Pa!" A loud slap hit the shopkeeper's face.
"You are blind. How can more than ten of us stay in your inn? We rented it for peace and quiet, but you make us squeeze together with these country bumpkins. Are you trying to make trouble?" The guard who took action cursed.
Perhaps this slap was not enough to vent his anger, so he rushed forward and kicked the shopkeeper a few more times.
The poor shopkeeper had no cultivation at all, while the swordsman was at least a seventh-rank swordsman. How could he withstand his punches and kicks? He immediately spat out several mouthfuls of black blood and fell to the ground. Fortunately, the swordsman didn't have the intention to kill him, otherwise he wouldn't be alive.
The young man in the lead also glanced at the shopkeeper who was lying on the ground with an impatient look.
"Sir, don't be angry. This country bumpkin has never seen the world and doesn't know the rules of our big family. He will become sensible after being disciplined." Another guard said flatteringly.
The guard puffed out his chest and pointed at Mu Hanyan and the others, saying, "And you guys, get out of here right now, or don't blame us for being rude."
