The next morning, Lin Xiaofei, with a long sword at his waist, walked out of the courtyard.
Yesterday, he thought of his two fellow apprentices who shared the same master and planned to visit them today.
After some inquiries, it was said that one of his senior brothers had gone out hunting strange beasts with a group of disciples two months ago, and was killed by the beasts in a battle.
However, his other senior brother was living a carefree life, and Lin Xiaofei soon arrived at a place called Xiangjiulou.
Upon entering the restaurant, a waiter approached and asked, "
Hello, senior brother, who are you looking for?
"Um?"
Lin Xiaofei was a little curious and said, "
How did you know I was looking for someone?
“I am a menial disciple of the Qingfeng Gang. I saw that you were wearing the Qingfeng Gang’s uniform and that you were looking around, obviously looking for someone, so I came over to ask you something.”
"Senior, just tell me who you're looking for, and I'll know which table that person is sitting at, and then I'll tell you. That way, it'll be easier for you to find them."
The waiter said with a smile.
"I'm looking for Senior Brother Feng Yilun."
Lin Xiaofei nodded and said.
"Senior Brother Feng Yilun is on the third floor, on the left, at the last table by the window. You'll see him as soon as you go up."
"That's what the waiter said."
In a bustling restaurant, on the third floor, by a window, a man sat alone at a table, picked up a glass of wine, and drank it down in one gulp.
A few minutes later, Lin Xiaofei saw a figure with a flushed face and hiccups sitting by the window, drinking alone, looking melancholy.
The figure was a young man in his mid-twenties, dressed somewhat disheveled, and looked drunk. He appeared to be a long-term drinker and looked rather haggard.
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Xiaofei walked over and sat down opposite Feng Yilun.
"Who are you? Why do you insist on sitting here?"
Seeing a young man walk over and sit opposite him, Feng Yilun burped and said casually.
“I am Zhou Huanshan’s third apprentice, so I should call you senior brother.”
Lin Xiaofei said with a smile.
Feng Yilun was taken aback for a moment, then quickly smiled and said:
Oh, it's my junior brother! I didn't expect you to come to the General Help Center too. That's great!
"Since this is our first meeting, you should treat me to a drink, right? I happen to be short on cash today, so you can pay for it for me first."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaofei was taken aback, frowned, and said:
"How much did this meal cost, senior brother?"
Seeing Feng Yilun's drunken state, clearly a drunkard, but out of respect for his master and because the other party was his senior brother, he could still afford to pay for the drinks.
"Junior brother is such a straightforward person, I like him."
My meal didn't cost much, only fifteen taels of silver. However, I imagine you've come to see me for something, junior brother?"
Seeing that Lin Xiaofei agreed to pay for the drinks, Feng Yilun smiled and said.
"Senior brother, you look so drunk, I doubt you can even speak clearly. Let's not rush to talk about my affairs."
Lin Xiaofei smiled slightly and said calmly.
Seeing Feng Yilun's drunken state, he guessed that Feng Yilun wouldn't be able to say what he wanted to know.
"Junior brother, you underestimate your senior brother."
I've spent nine years in the gang, and I've developed a passable level of martial arts. Although I look drunk, my mind is perfectly clear. Tell me what's wrong, and I'll do my best to help you.
Feng Yilun immediately perked up and said in a confident tone.
After looking Feng Yilun up and down, Lin Xiaofei thought for a moment and ordered another table of dishes. However, this time there was no alcohol. He was mainly worried that Feng Yilun would be too drunk to talk about serious matters.
While listening to Lin Xiaofei speak, Feng Yilun picked up various dishes and fed them to his mouth. Feeling he had eaten enough, he said with a smile, "
Junior brother, you've just joined the main guild, so perhaps you don't yet fully understand solo quests and quests done in groups.
Given your current state, it's highly unlikely that you'll be assigned a solo mission. If you do accept a mission, you'll almost certainly be given a mission to do with multiple people.
Junior brother, if you want to be able to take on solo missions in the future, or if you want to earn a lot of silver, then you'll have to do some bribing.
However, as a newcomer, even if you try to bribe someone, Manager Ding probably won't pay any attention to you.
However, this matter is simple, I can help you take care of it. I have dealt with Steward Ding of the Internal Affairs Hall before, and I know what kind of person he is.
Do you need my help?
"How much silver is needed for bribes?"
After thinking for a moment, Lin Xiaofei said.
He felt that Feng Yilun was right. If he could make some adjustments, the tasks he would take on in the future would be relatively better. As long as the tasks were not time-consuming or laborious, he could accept them. After all, time-consuming and laborious tasks not only delayed his cultivation time but also the time to earn cultivation resources.
Moreover, through his Illusionary Eye Technique, he discovered that his senior brother had reached the mid-stage of the Flowing Realm, and guessed that Feng Yilun had some skills and might actually be able to help him out.
"Two hundred taels of silver."
Feng Yilun blurted out, but seeing Lin Xiaofei remain calm and silent, he paused for a moment, scratched his head, and said with a smile:
Eighty taels of silver is fine too.
Eighty taels of silver can get you some relatively easy tasks within three months.
"Of course, the more silver you earn, the easier tasks Steward Ding will assign you, and you'll also earn a considerable amount of silver."
"I'll give you two hundred taels of silver, fifty of which is a gift as a token of our friendship, since we share the same master. I hope you can help me get this done."
Lin Xiaofei had plenty of silver on him and was worried about where to spend it, so he simply took out two hundred taels of silver from his pocket.
"Junior brother, you are so generous. I'll take care of your problem. If you ever need anything in the future, just come to me and I'll definitely help you sort it out."
Feng Yilun's eyes lit up, and he patted his chest, speaking with confidence, before adding, "..."
"By the way, junior brother, you're new to the main sect, so you must be staying in the inner disciples' quarters, right? Which courtyard do you live in? I can come visit you more often."
“I don’t live in the gang’s premises. Yesterday, I bought a large courtyard near the Qingfeng Gang’s location. It’s only a little over a kilometer away from the gang’s location. The street I’m on is called Quiet Street.”
Lin Xiaofei said.
"Junior brother has excellent taste; all the courtyards on that street are quite nice."
Feng Yilun nodded and said, "
"Junior brother, although you've just joined the main sect, you must already know some things. All inner disciples under the age of twenty-five in our sect will automatically participate in a sect mission, which offers the opportunity to connect with cultivation families."
After a pause, seeing Lin Xiaofei nod and look like he was listening attentively, Feng Yilun smiled and continued:
Junior brother, you may not know this, but our leader Li Yunchang has a certain relationship with the Gong family, a cultivation family in Shifeng County.
Chief Li was once a servant of the Gong family, but left the family for unknown reasons.
This time, the Gong family plans to recruit three young geniuses with good martial arts talent to serve as servants for the Gong family. This was also ordered by the gang leader.
More than a month ago, the disciples of the three branches of the Qingfeng Gang each held a martial arts competition.
The disciples who emerged victorious in the martial arts competition have all come to the main gang; you have been selected for this mission.
