Ling Yun looked at A Bao and smiled:
"Forget it, let's just order everything on the menu. The owner said this meal is on the house!"
"Okay, bro!"
Abao nodded and told the waiter to order all the dishes in the restaurant.
After the pot boiled, Lin Long and A Bao looked at the red oil pot and, without saying a word, put all the vegetables in.
Lingyun picked up a piece of fatty mutton with his chopsticks, tasted it, and said, "Mmm! It tastes good."
At this moment, the boss walked in with a jar of wine. When he saw the pot of mixed stew, he froze on the spot, realizing that Lingyun and Abao had never eaten hot pot before.
"Hehe... Gentlemen, this is not how you eat hot pot."
As he spoke, the shopkeeper picked up a piece of tripe and dipped it in the pot several times.
Then he ordered someone to bring two oil dishes, dipped them in the oil, and placed them in Lingyun's bowl.
"It tastes best when it's cooked in a hot pot, please try it!"
Ling Yun curiously put the tripe into his mouth, his eyes lit up, and he gave it a thumbs up.
"good!"
Seeing Ling Yun's expression, A Bao also swished a piece of tripe and stuffed it into his mouth, immediately revealing an expression of bliss.
The innkeeper chuckled, opened the wine bottle, poured a glass for each of them, then glanced around and lowered his voice to say:
"I heard that all the experts from the Kowloon City Lord's Mansion and several major families have been killed!"
You two don't need to worry about the Mo family's retaliation.
Ling Yun nodded and took a sip of wine.
The shopkeeper continued in a low voice:
"Just now, the Grand Elder of the Luoshui Sect came to the shop with your portrait to ask if you were there, but we didn't tell them you were here!"
Ling Yun frowned slightly, "Luoshui Sect?"
"Yes, Luoshui Sect is a thousand miles away from Kowloon City. It is a sect that cultivates immortality."
The shopkeeper asked tentatively:
"You have no grudge against the Luoshui Sect, do you? That's a powerful sect. The sect leader is a master of the Sealed Mortal Realm, and the Luoshui Sect is very influential. No one dares to provoke them within a radius of three thousand miles!"
No one dares to mess with them?
Ling Yun smiled and looked at the shopkeeper:
"We're not familiar with the Luoshui Sect. If we run into them again, just report our location!"
Ling Yun knew that Luo Shui Sect had come to find him, to offer him up to the Immortal Martial Academy for a reward.
The shopkeeper said firmly:
"Impossible! I can tell that those guys from the Luoshui Sect are definitely up to you. You are a great benefactor to the people of Kowloon City."
We will never reveal your location!
After saying that, the innkeeper left the private room without disturbing Lingyun and Abao.
After finishing the hot pot, Lingyun embarrassingly discovered that he had no money.
Although the shopkeeper offered the meal for free, Lingyun didn't have the habit of eating for free.
He looked at Abao:
Did you bring any money?
Abao said awkwardly:
“We were kicked out of the Ling family, so we didn’t have any money to bring with us. My older brother used all his previous salary to buy gifts for Miss Xiao Yanran.”
Okay~
Lingyun and Abao stared at each other, realizing that in this world, it seemed impossible to get by without money.
But freeloading wasn't in Ling Yun's nature. He flicked his finger, and an invisible energy rushed into the shopkeeper's body.
It not only cured his chronic illness but also extended his lifespan by thirty years.
Lingyun and Abao then left the hot pot restaurant.
By this time, it was already dark. Lingyun and Abao found an inn and decided to stay the night.
This inn is quite ordinary. The innkeeper was teaching his three-year-old daughter to read behind the counter.
Upon seeing Ling Yun and A Bao enter the inn, the innkeeper was taken aback and then rushed to the two of them.
Thump!
The boss knelt before the two men.
Seeing this, a bewildered Ling Yun looked completely confused. A Bao quickly helped the boss up and asked in puzzlement:
"Boss, what are you doing?"
The boss cried and said:
“You are my benefactors! My wife was taken in by Mo Kun two years ago and tortured to death! You avenged my wife.”
Lingyun and Abao suddenly realized.
"No need for that, boss. We'd like two guest rooms!"
"Alright, not to mention two guest rooms, you can stay here for the rest of your life!"
As he spoke, the owner warmly led Lingyun and Abao upstairs and arranged the best guest room for them.
Lingyun noticed that his boss was missing an arm, which he guessed was lost when he went to rescue his wife after she was violated by Mo Kun.
After the boss left, Abao hurriedly tidied up Lingyun's bedding. This was his usual habit. Every night before Lingyun went to sleep, Abao would help make the bed and wash Lingyun's feet.
Back at the counter, the owner continued teaching his daughter to read.
Just then, a group of people dressed in the attire of the Luoshui Sect entered the inn.
This group of people is exactly the same group that the hot pot restaurant owner described as searching for Lingyun.
The boss immediately greeted him with a smile.
Are you here for a meal or to stay overnight?
The leading elder of the Luoshui Sect coldly looked at the shopkeeper, unfolded the portrait in his hand, and asked:
Have you ever seen this person before?
Upon seeing that the person in the portrait was indeed Ling Yun, the shopkeeper's expression changed slightly. Without any hesitation, he quickly said:
"I've never seen this person before!"
"Hmm?" The elder's eyes turned cold; he had already caught the subtle change in the boss's expression. He asked in a deep voice:
"You'll have one more chance to answer: Have you seen this person before?"
The pressure emanating from the Grand Elder caused the boss to lose his balance and collapse to the ground.
Ling Yun was the benefactor who avenged his wife, and the boss didn't want to betray Ling Yun.
But if they don't tell, they might die.
Just as I was hesitating, the boss's daughter said in a clear voice:
"The people in the portrait came to the shop before, but they had no money and were kicked out by my father!"
Seeing the girl's innocent eyes, the elder narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice:
"Just say so! Why say you've never seen it before?"
The boss wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly said:
"The immortal master's aura was too strong. My mind went blank, and... I just blurted it out!"
After glancing at the innkeeper's severed arm, the elder felt that this man was not one to lie. He then gave the inn a cold look and left with his men.
Once he was sure the people from Luoshui Sect had gone far away, the shopkeeper quickly closed the door, went to his daughter's side, and patted her little head.
"Xiaoqing, you're so clever!"
Xiaoqing chuckled:
"My father always taught me to be grateful and repay kindness. That young man is a benefactor to our family, and we must not betray him!"
The boss nodded with satisfaction. Without her mother, her daughter was more mature than her peers.
Immediately, the boss rushed to Lingyun's room.
"My benefactor, something terrible has happened! A group of people seem to be plotting against you!"
Ling Yun, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed, slowly opened them.
When I opened the door, I saw my boss looking anxious.
"What's wrong?"
The boss said urgently:
"The people from the Luoshui Sect are looking for you everywhere with your portrait! Why don't you stay at my private residence for the night?"
Ling Yun frowned slightly; it seemed the matter of the Luoshui Sect needed to be resolved.
Just then, Xiaoqing's crying suddenly came from downstairs.
"Waaah... Let me go! Daddy, save me!"
