When Lengxue and the two brothers from the Salted Fish Sect left the room, Zhui Ming was very sensitive to the strange atmosphere between the three.
Xiao Qingzhou had a smile on his face, Wu Du lowered his eyes and said nothing, and Lengxue frowned slightly, as if he was worried.
Sikong Zhaixing also noticed this, rolled his eyes, and did not speak.
It was Xu Qingyun who broke the silence. This girl went to clean and wipe her long sword stained with the blood of Wuhua and Xiong Niangzi, and then came on stage holding the long sword. When she saw Xiao Qingzhou finished chatting with her brothers, she said: "Master Xiao, where should we go next?"
Bu Zao was a little distressed. There were too many things on hand. Who should he start with first? Master Wuhua, or Jin Jiuling? Well, there is also Wei Wuya and his vest.
He looked at the still unconscious subordinate of the Bat Master on the ground. He wondered if this man had slept for too long. He should have mastered the skill of knocking people.
"Miss Xu, everything has a first come first served order... Please allow me to deal with this person brought by Captain Jin first." Xiao Qingzhou said apologetically, "As for the matter of Master Wuhua... I will trouble Miss Xu to ask Wanwu Building for information."
Before knowing that Xiao Qingzhou and the owner of Wanwu Building were from the same sect, Xu Qingyun had taken the initiative to suggest buying information from Wanwu Building. At that time, the owner of the Evil Valley just nodded in agreement. If he didn't want to mention his relationship as a fellow apprentice with Chongming, it would be understandable, but since the relationship of being a fellow apprentice was already known to everyone, he still had the attitude of mentioning an unrelated person.
"But he is not your senior brother..." Xu Qingyun also noticed something, and her tone was a little hesitant.
"Just tell me my name, he will put it in my account."
Xiao Qingzhou said happily, he paused, and corrected: "And he is no longer my senior brother, he was just once." As soon as
the voice fell, the masked killer beside him whispered: "Xiaozhou--"
Even Wu Du, who always had a very calm tone when expressing doubts, showed his emotional fluctuations for the first time, and his tone was full of disapproval.
The atmosphere was a little stagnant. Xiao Qingzhou glanced at Wu Du, his eyes, which always smiled when meeting people, were slightly cold, and the smile faded, and he said nothing.
An invisible pressure spread in the air.
Wu Du looked directly at his junior fellow apprentice, his eyes flickering. Xiao Qingzhou looked away, smiled again, and said nonchalantly, "Sorry to bother you, Miss Xu."
Xu Qingyun looked back and forth between the two brothers, and nodded, "It's not a big deal. I should thank you."
An invisible conflict ended so casually.
Leng Xue glanced at Wu Du, who was pulling up his mask. His round eyes, which were always bright, were a little dim. He lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
Salted Fish Sect... is a complicated sect.
Everyone present had such thoughts to a greater or lesser extent.

There is such an anecdote in the martial arts world.
Master Wuhua, one of the "Seven Wonderful Monks", met the Lord of the Valley of Evil and decided to feed the devil with his own body, to persuade the Lord of the Valley
of Evil to put down his butcher knife and turn back. He also persuaded the former detective Jin Jiuling, who was taken in by the Lord of the Valley of Evil.
At this time, the Lord of the Valley of Evil was still a peerless beauty in the eyes of the people in the world. Anyone who had seen "her" was haunted by her beauty. There had never been such a beauty in the world, and she was probably more beautiful than the rare stone Guanyin in the desert.
Because Xiao Qingzhou was young, while Shi Guanyin had been walking in the world for more than ten years. No matter when, age will become a standard of evaluation - especially for women.
Among the people used to compare with Xiao Qingzhou is Yao Yue of Yihua Palace. Yao Yue is walking in the martial arts world, so she naturally heard these rumors, and she was particularly puzzled - no one has discovered that Xiao Qingzhou is a man. It's fine if Jin
Jiuling doesn't dare to say it, but why does Wuhua allow such rumors?
No one can answer Yao Yue's doubts. Those who know the situation feel that there is no need to say it, and they will all remain silent in order to cooperate with Xiao Qingzhou's request.
After all, such a misunderstanding is harmless and no one will be harmed, except for those lustful evil spirits.
Yao Yue is in a restaurant at this time. She likes cleanliness and cleanliness. If she hadn't heard a familiar name, she would not want to be squeezed with the crowd.
A fragrance came, and the waiter came with a dish of seasonal vegetables and clear soup. He was very skillful. Yao Yue looked at him from behind the white veil of her hat.
The waiter also smiled at her and said cheerfully, "Sir, please enjoy your meal."
The waiter had a red hairpin in his hair, and
his face was pretty, with eyes like amber. Yao Yue did not respond, and the waiter then served the dishes and wine. He was neat and tidy, and his movements were light and agile. He must have martial arts skills, but they were not very advanced.
The people at the table not far away started talking about Wu Du. When talking about this ruthless killer, everyone's tone became weaker.
"I heard that Wuyamen is sending people to look for Wudu's whereabouts... Could it be that they have a conflict over the murder business?"
"It's possible. Wudu even dared to snatch Yidianhong's head, let alone Wuyamen."
"Come to think of it, Yidianhong was outside Xuejiazhuang that time because she wanted to see Wudu, so why didn't she find any news afterwards? I thought Yidianhong wanted to save her face, but there must be a division between them." "
Who knows..."
The discussion continued, Yaoyue took off her veil and put it aside.
She wore the veil to avoid trouble, but she would never treat herself badly for it, and she would take it off when it was time.
Someone nearby caught a glimpse of her face, so Yao Yue fell into a small silence, secretly casting their eyes at the already eye-catching woman in white.
Yao Yue had no expression on her face.
The waiter carried the new dishes into this quiet corner, and walked towards the man in white who was sitting alone at another table.
Those who dare to wear white clothes in the martial arts world are mostly very powerful and wealthy. This is an unwritten consensus in the martial arts world. Haven't you seen that Ximen Chuxue and Ye Gucheng are both wearing white clothes, and there are actually two people in white clothes in this small tavern at the same time.
Everyone followed the waiter's line of sight to look at the man in white who was sitting alone at the table. The young man had an indifferent expression, with a cold attitude that could only be watched from afar. The
waiter put down the dishes in front of him and said enthusiastically: "Sir, please enjoy your meal--"
The man in white raised his eyes.
In the discussion just now, the voice of the waiter was the most prominent, popping up from time to time in front of each table. Just from the voice, you can tell that this person is a lively and cheerful young man.
The head of the sect and the prince of Taiping looked at each other for a moment, and Bu Zao, the head of the sect, the waiter, withdrew and continued his own business. A
worker's soul, Bu Zao said that he had a Wanguan family fortune, which was indeed true, but it was also a real fiscal deficit. The current situation that did not conform to the principles of economics made Bu Zao himself sigh with regret: I told you not to play around with martial arts DIY! You deserve to be in debt!
He passed by Yao Yue with a tray. Yao Yue, who had a noble temperament, was bathed in the eyes of everyone, but she still had a faint expression, lowered her head to eat vegetables and drink soup, but the coldness around her became more and more obvious.
Gong Jiu was the last guest to enter the restaurant. He ordered a table of dishes, but he only ate a few bites here and there. Many dishes seemed to have just been served.
Bu Zao ran back and forth several times to serve him dishes. Seeing that he didn't eat much, he felt a little weird. He suspected that this guy wanted to see him busying around.
But what was he trying to do?
The last dish served was fried lotus root slices. The table was full and there was no place to put it.
Bu Zao looked at the whole table. There was not even a plate that could be moved. He tried to stack it, and Gong Jiu said, "You sit down." Bu Zao
was a little suspicious of his ears: "Hmm"
Gong Jiu said lightly, "You come and eat."
Players don't have the ability to read minds.
So, what is His Royal Highness thinking?
"Sir... I'll go ask the shopkeeper." Bu Zao suppressed his doubts and gave a sincere answer that was in line with the job of a waiter.
Gong Jiu nodded slightly.
Bu Xiaoer went to ask the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper glanced at the white-clothed guest who looked very unkind just from his back, and said cautiously: "If there is anything wrong, run away quickly."
Bu Zao nodded seriously. If there was anything wrong, he would definitely run away and run to the Palace Master Yao Yue.
"Thank you, sir." Bu Zao sat down opposite Gong Jiu and thanked him sincerely, "Thank you."
Gong Jiu looked at him coldly without saying a word.
The waiter has a pair of amber eyes, which are very rare, especially in the sunlight, they look more radiant. Gong Jiu thinks his eyes are very similar to Wangcai's damn dog.
A waiter in a roadside tavern is more obedient than a dog. Gong Jiu couldn't help but sneer at the ridiculous conclusion he came to after the comparison. The
waiter opposite raised his head with curious eyes, but wisely did not say anything.
Bu Zao: So (chew chew chew) Prince, what exactly (chew chew chew) are you thinking about in your head?
No matter how hard the player tries, he can't imagine that he has become his own substitute. Gong Jiu is thinking about "it" through him.
Bu Zao's stomach capacity is limited, and he could not finish the dishes ordered by Gong Jiu, but fortunately Gong Jiu's men came over later and took over Bu Zao's duties and began to deal with the food on the table.
This time, the Crown Prince was still lost, and the men searched everywhere before finding him in this roadside restaurant.
"Please enjoy your meal, both of you." Bu Zao said goodbye, nodded to Gong Jiu, and left.
Gong Jiu picked up the chopsticks. The men
on the opposite side asked: "Young Master...he is..."
Gong Jiu said: "A waiter."
The men's eyes were a little puzzled.
Gong Jiu suddenly smiled: "Don't you think he looks like Wangcai?" A trace of shock flashed in his subordinate's eyes, and he immediately lowered his head and said: "Yes, he looks alike, especially the eyes."
[Secrets of Jianghu: Shock! The ninth son of the nameless island is obsessed with a dog named Wangcai, and even uses the waiter in the restaurant as a meal replacement! (From the little spider weaving a web on the beam)]
Bu Zao: Shock!
What kind of weird play is this? Did you ask his opinion?
The system in charge of the game program shares all information with the players, and once again expressed deep feelings about this. It said softly: [Human emotions are really complicated... For some humans, non-humans are more important than humans.]
This is true, because Wangcai - his vest is indeed a dog, not a human... But Bu Zao doesn't want to play a man-beast game.
Players also want to sigh "human emotions are so complicated", combined with Gong Jiu's behavior of always keeping the dog leash by his side, it always feels very subtle.
At this time, most of the people in the restaurant had left, and it took a long time to prepare all the dishes for Gong Jiu, not to mention that Bu Zao had to sit down and eat with him.
What made Bu Zao a little strange was that the people who were discussing Xiao Qingzhou and Wu Du had already eaten and dispersed, but Yao Yue had not left yet.
She was looking at Gong Jiu's table with an unfathomable look.
After noticing Bu Zao's gaze, Yao Yue cast a cold glance, picked up the veil at hand and put it on to cover her face, then stood up and left.
"Goodbye, my guest - please come again next time!"
Bu Zao shouted at her back.
Yao Yue kept walking.
After all, Bu Zao is a man, and Yao Yue has never been kind to women, let alone men.
Bu Zao cleaned up the dishes on Yao Yue's table and went to the back. The shopkeeper was also in the back and said to him, "Why did you come back so soon?"
"Because I'm full."
Bu Zao scratched his head.
"So why did the guest invite you to dinner?" The shopkeeper didn't ask further because he was afraid of delaying the question. Now he was a little worried, "Do you know him?"
The unwritten rule of the underworld here: people who look difficult to mess with are difficult to mess with.
Gong Jiu may only look indifferent, but the subordinates who came later had a ferocious look, solemn and very cold.
Bu Zao understood the shopkeeper's concern: "If they don't know me, they may think I look familiar."
"That's... not impossible."
The shopkeeper thought what Bu Zao said made sense, so he gave Bu Zao full authority to greet the guest. [Side Quest: The Restaurant Shopkeeper's Request]
[Quest Description: Please let the guest in white leave with satisfaction and don't make a fuss.]
Bu Zao took on this task.
Gong Jiu's subordinates have faces that can cause trouble, but it's not the subordinates who cause trouble, but Bu Zao, the waiter.
Before coming to this restaurant and encountering Yao Yue and Gong Jiu, Bu had already made friends with the residents nearby as a repairman, but this also caused him to offend the notorious Master Li.
It is said that the Li family has a relative who is an official in Beijing, and the family relationship has become the basis for the Li family to establish its authority in the local area, and the young master raised by them is also very proud.
Gong Jiu and his men were still eating. Bu Zao was wiping the table with a rag, and the man who had been hit on the head by Bu Zao with a wooden hammer came in with a rage. Two servants came up to him and dragged Bu Zao out. Master Li shouted, "I finally found you! I didn't expect you to stay here!"
Bu Zao slapped the servant's face with a rag, "Why can't I stay here?"
"Why? Do you know whose territory this is?"
Master Li was very angry with Bu Zao's words.
Gong Jiu cast his eyes over, and the man sitting opposite him pondered for a moment and stood up.
Bu Zao was not worried about Gong Jiu and Li Shaoye, but was worried that the shopkeeper would be frightened after seeing the trouble he caused. At that time, he was assigned to a branch mission and received a bad review, so he bent down and carried a bench to dance wildly.
Li Shaoye and two servants jumped two feet away, angry and embarrassed: "What are you doing!" Bu Zao
leaned on the bench and felt that his life was so colorful. He said: "Carry out a formal and reasonable resistance."
Gong Jiu's men sat back.
Li Shaoye caught a glimpse of this tall and fierce man. Seeing that this man had the intention to protect Bu Zao, and seeing that Gong Jiu was dressed in white and unfathomable, he took a step back and admitted it.
The shopkeeper heard the movement and cautiously popped his head out. At the same time, Bu Zao put down the bench at lightning speed.
"Xiao Bu, what happened? Master Li, are you here for dinner?"
The shopkeeper asked in surprise when he saw Master Li and his two servants.
Gong Jiu looked at them with his head tilted to the side, his eyes were cold and emotionless. In Master Li's eyes, he seemed to be thinking about the angle from which to cut his neck.
"...Yes."
Master Li said dryly.
Bu Zao bent down and wiped the bench with a rag, seriously and methodically, then smiled: "Master Li, please."
Master Li glared at him fiercely.
Bu Zao slowly left the scene holding the rag.
