Feng Yuanning: “…”
Look how scared this child is. Is she that scary?
Feng Yuanning observed the three people and saw that they were all wearing long swords of similar styles, which made her think of the two guests staying there - Jianshan disciples Song Yuluan and Ling Jing.
She then asked, "Are you looking for Song Yuluan? Room 202 on the second floor."
The short and fat boy's face suddenly turned even paler. Before he even said who he was looking for, the other party already knew it?
Ever since he entered the store, he began to feel guilty and nervous.
The various scenes in the store were obviously full of mystery. After being in there for a long time, he discovered that there was a cold air in the store that was obviously different from the outside world. How could he not think too much?
Compared to the residence of gods, such a cool place is obviously more likely to be the territory of ghosts, right?
And now, the shop owner immediately told her the purpose of her visit. Could it be that she actually has the ability to predict the future?
So, could it be that she already knew about his previous malicious speculations about this store?
The short and fat boy became more and more afraid as he thought about it, and blurted out, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have made such malicious assumptions about you!"
“???” Feng Yuanning was puzzled and bewildered.
After the short, fat boy apologized, he immediately began to take credit: "We have brought the martial arts secret manual you wanted!"
He couldn't help but feel fortunate that after receiving Song Yuluan's letter, the mountain master, despite knowing that the hope might not be great, still went against the crowd's objections and asked them to take some martial arts secrets with them before they set off.
Now these martial arts secrets can come in handy and perhaps help them gain the shop owner's forgiveness.
Hearing this, Feng Yuanning's heart suddenly lifted. So, these people were the ones Song Yuluan called to deliver the secret book?
Before, Bai Haoge and Song Yuluan both promised to collect some martial arts secrets for her.
However, Feng Yuanning also knew that the transportation here was extremely inconvenient and it took time to travel, so he couldn't go faster even if he wanted to.
She originally thought that she would have to wait at least ten days or half a month, but she didn't expect to see the first batch of secret books so soon.
Feng Yuanning was filled with excitement, but on the surface, he tried to remain calm: "Oh, really? Let me see it."
The short and fat boy held his breath nervously, walked forward tremblingly, took off the bookcase on his back and handed it to her.
Feng Yuanning took the bookcase, took out a book and started flipping through it.
Immediately, a question mark slowly appeared on her forehead.
What the hell is this? Stream of consciousness? A heavenly book? I can't make any sense of it. It's too profound, and all the jargon is so confusing.
Feng Yuanning couldn't help but start to doubt his life.
The reason why martial arts in this world are difficult to popularize and even farmers cannot master martial arts is because the content of the skills is too profound and obscure?
What should she do now? After all, it was impossible for someone from another world to open up to her. It seemed that, although there was little hope, she could only try to ask the system for help: "System, can you help translate the contents of the book?"
"No, please practice on your own."
"But I can't understand the contents of the book at all. If I ask people from another world for this basic knowledge, what if they secretly bring in something else and deliberately use this opportunity to kill me?"
The system's rigid voice rang in her mind: "Host, please explore on your own, or wait for the relevant function to be opened."
Feng Yuanning was stunned. "Related functions? I know you can't spoil the story in advance, but could you please be flexible and give me a small hint?"
"Reading room."
Feng Yuanning: “!!!”
So the upcoming reading room will be able to solve the problems she faces?
Feng Yuanning was overjoyed and satisfied.
She closed the martial arts book, put it in the bookcase, and said to the fat boy in front of her, "Anything else? If not, you can go to the second floor to find someone. Remember, you can only stay in the guest room for one hour. If you want..."
It seems no one has checked out all day today? However, it would be better to see for yourself. Feng Yuanning opened the system virtual interface, and the first thing that caught his eye was the following data.
Hotel upgrade conditions: The restaurant has served a total of 533/3000 people and completed 1/3 of the task.
Mission: Use hot springs to help 2/5 people restore their broken meridians and unlock the building reading room.
The restaurant is operating at full capacity, catering to a large number of customers every day. Most of them come once and then start coming back for meals every day.
There are wealthy gentry from Changling County and nearby villages, as well as people attracted from the Medical Valley, such as patients, their families, and disciples of the Medical Valley. When it comes to helping the hotel attract customers, it must be said that the shopkeeper Ming of the Ming Inn has made a great contribution.
Feng Yuanning entered the guest room management interface and suddenly found that one of the guest rooms was empty. This room was... She thought about it and finally remembered, oh, it was the gray-clothed swordsman who checked in on the first day.
After he took the captured flower thief away, he never came back.
He had booked a room for three days, and today was already the fourth day, but he had not come to renew his room, so he naturally checked out.
She took stock of the current guests staying there and, since she occupied a room herself, the hotel could only accommodate eleven people in total.
Among the ten current guests staying in the hotel, those who often come to the restaurant for meals include: Song Yuluan, Ling Jing, Bai Haoge, Mao Yi, Guo Yitong, Mingmei, Ke Bingling, and a member of the Xuan Jing Division.
The remaining two guests had never been to the restaurant and rarely appeared in front of Feng Yuanning.
Feng Yuanning was puzzled. Wasn't the delicious food in the restaurant enough to attract them? They had money to stay in the hotel, but no money to eat?
Look at the twin brothers in the store. They obviously have no money to live here, but they come here to eat almost every meal. This is what normal people do - of course, they have now embarked on a journey to help her find the person with severed tendons and veins.
After checking the data in the system, Feng Yuanning looked up at the fat man in front of him and reminded him, "If you want to stay in the guest room for a long time, you must stay in the hotel. There is a vacant room right now, so if you want to move in, you'd better hurry."
"Owner, there's finally a vacant room in the store?! I want to move in!" Next to one of the tables, a fat man in his thirties stood up excitedly, took out some silver and ran towards Feng Yuanning.
"I want to move in, too."
"I want to stay in the hotel too!"
However, another figure flashed like a flash of light and suddenly appeared in front of Feng Yuanning: "Shopkeeper, I was here first. This room should belong to me."
Feng Yuanning looked closely and saw that it was Mrs. Yin who had not left the store since entering.
Little Fatty: “…”
He subconsciously took a step back.
In order to grab a guest room, he even used his martial arts skills?
These people are really crazy. Look at the way they are fighting over the guest rooms, it's like they are fighting over a rare treasure.
Could there be something fishy going on here? Were they all agents controlled by the shop owner? He must not be fooled so easily.
"Boss, we'll leave first. Goodbye." The little fat man turned around and ran away, running out of the restaurant as if there was a ghost chasing him.
The woman in black and the pretty girl followed him out of the restaurant.
The little fat man stopped by the glass door and asked hesitantly, "Senior Sister Yun, are we going to the second floor to find Junior Sister Song now?"
The woman in black nodded, walked towards the stairs and went to the second floor.
The fat boy and the pretty girl lagged behind the woman in black, carefully observing their surroundings and always on guard against possible dangers.
However, nothing happened along the way.
They successfully reached the second floor and stopped in front of Room 202. The woman in black knocked on the door.
Soon the door opened, and Song Yuluan said respectfully, "Shop..." Realizing the visitor wasn't the owner, she immediately changed her attitude and turned away. "Oh, it's you guys. Come in. Do you want to eat something together?"
Now that the temperature in the guest room is just right, she would rather stay in the guest room, order a bunch of delicious food and sit down to eat slowly, rather than in the fountain park where there are only benches.
Look, she just ordered spicy crayfish, rose jelly, and grilled cold noodles, and is enjoying the meal now.
"Junior Sister Song, you..."
Song Yuluan turned around and glared at the little fat boy: "Call me Senior Sister Song!"
The three of them walked into the guest room and closed the door.
The little fat man was not convinced and said: "But now you..."
"But I've lost my martial arts skills now, so I'm no longer qualified to be called Senior Sister, am I?" Song Yuluan suddenly approached the fat man as if teleporting, snatched the long sword from his hand, and said, "I didn't bring a sword when I came out. Junior Brother Zhang, can you lend me your sword first?"
After snatching the sword, Song Yuluan turned to look at the woman in black: "It's a pity that fighting is not appropriate in the store. Senior Sister, how about we go outside to spar another day?"
The woman in black was named Yun Xiyu. Like her, she was a disciple of the master of Jianshan Mountain. She entered the sect before her and ranked above her.
The little fat boy opened his eyes wide in shock: "You, you, you..."
The pretty girl also widened her eyes in shock.
The woman in black was also stunned for a moment, her eyes full of surprise and disbelief.
"Surprised, aren't you? You thought it was impossible for me to recover my martial arts, right?" Song Yuluan suddenly felt proud and refreshed. "Not only have I recovered my martial arts, I've also broken through to the Xiantian realm in one fell swoop. All of this is thanks to the owner. She completely changed my destiny."
The fat boy was stunned for a moment, then he grabbed himself hard and gasped in pain. "But why did the shop owner do this? Why did she have to go to such lengths?"
Yun Xiyu finally came back to her senses and looked at Song Yuluan with eyes full of relief.
Song Yuluan said, "Do you need a reason to do good things? The owner is a deity who has descended to the mortal world, with the world in her heart. Perhaps she came to the mortal world to practice cultivation and experience the world..."
Yun Xiyu frowned slightly.
The little fat man couldn't bear to listen any longer: "You said that in the letter. It sounds so exaggerated. Everyone thinks you are..."
Song Yuluan interrupted him with amusement: "Being cheated? But I did gain some benefits, and will gain more benefits. By the way, did my master ask you to bring anything for me?"
"Yes. The martial arts secrets you want have been delivered to the owner." The pretty girl took out a locked wooden box from her bag and handed it to Song Yuluan.
Song Yuluan couldn't wait to ask, "Did the owner say anything?"
"No."
Song Yuluan said with a look of admiration, "That's right. How could the shop owner look down on our skills? She must have just collected some for her own enjoyment."
Little Fatty: “…”
Pretty girl: “…”
Yun Xiyu frowned.
Song Yuluan glared at them. "You think I'm abnormal, right? Well, you... By the way, do you know how I recovered my martial arts? There's a magical hot spring in this shop. It was this hot spring that healed my body. As far as I know, this hot spring can completely repair physical injuries. Perhaps you, Senior Sister, can be cured too."
Yun Xiyu's breath stopped and he clenched the sword in his hand.
The little fat man suddenly thought of something and blurted out, "I have a distant cousin who also had his tendons and veins severed and lost all his martial arts skills..."
"Why don't you write a letter to inform him to come over?!" Song Yuluan's eyes lit up. "The owner has been paying attention to this kind of people recently. She really hopes that more people can benefit from it. Besides, too few of you came this time, you know? Xuanjing Division and Yigu have sent many people to practice in the store, but only three of you came from Jianshan. It seems I have to write more letters to inform Master. Come with me to experience the things in the store first, and then we will write to them together to urge them to send more people."
