When Feng Qing was about to ask An Huo, her social phobia came back.
She tended to be hesitant when she was nervous. She knew it was a bad habit, but she probably couldn't change it in a short time.
"I've been having some problems recently, so I want to find someone to talk to." After adjusting her mood for a while, Feng Qing's complexion finally returned to normal.
She said, "I have a friend who has been having some problems recently. I really want to advise him, but I don't know how to start."
"What friend? The shopkeeper?" An Huo Shaxi moved her own stool and sat over.
She was quite curious, and the face suddenly came in front of Feng Qing. Feng Qing was startled, but still spoke. "Something bad may have happened to my friend."
"He can't see through some people around him. Although he should be a very smart person, there are still things he can't do."
Anhuo Shaxi was slightly stunned.
She thought that even the shopkeeper said that person was very smart, so how smart must that person be...
Of course, this is not the point. She rarely sees the shopkeeper being so entangled. It seems that the friend must be someone the shopkeeper values very much.
"This is normal. Everyone has someone they can't see through." An Huoshaxi said, "No matter how smart that person is."
"However, that person is so stupid that he can't even see through the people around him, so he can't be considered very smart. Shopkeeper, you don't have to worry too much. If something really happens to him, it's his own problem."
"For other people, if they get into trouble, it's of course their own problem, but that person is different." Feng Qing stared at An Huoshaxi's eyes seriously.
For a moment, An Huoshaxi suddenly had a strange illusion.
The shopkeeper's eyes seemed to hide a deep worry.
Although this worry was well hidden by her, it would still pop up from time to time. Just when An Huoshaxi wanted to take a closer look, the shopkeeper suddenly lowered his head.
"Anyway..."
"If something happens to that person, our inn might be in danger. Then even if I leave, I won't feel at ease."
What does this mean?
An Huo Shaxi's heart shuddered.
... Feng Qing talked to An Huo for a long time, just wanting to ask her what she would do in this situation.
As a result, after asking her over and over again, for some reason, An Huo's mood suddenly became depressed.
Feng Qing didn't understand why An Huo suddenly became emo, which made her at a loss.
She thought to herself, did she accidentally say something to offend others with her broken mouth? When it comes to critical moments, she always does such inexplicable things.
An Huo Shaxi slowly left Feng Qing's room. She returned to her own room as if she was sleepwalking, and then fell on her bed with a thud.
Li Qi, who was chopping wood in the back, saw her figure flash by and was a little puzzled.
"Why does she feel like a ghost?" Chu Changzui whispered beside him.
"Indeed, she looked a little strange today." Feng Xiruo said. "Did she do something just now?"
"Just now I heard her being called by the shopkeeper."
"Ah?!" The other two were suddenly startled, "Did something happen to the shopkeeper?"
Feng Qing was still a little nervous here.
She poked her finger and thought, "No way, my boss here hasn't figured it out yet, is An Huo going to get into trouble again?"
An Huo Shaxi lay on her bed and looked at the ceiling.
She thought about the shopkeeper's somewhat clumsy tone just now, and her mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts.
Anhuo Shaxi covered her eyes with her arms to hide her gaze.
- In fact, she understood everything when the shopkeeper was halfway through speaking.
Logically speaking, for someone as powerful as the shopkeeper, there is nothing in the world that would make her look so embarrassed.
But the shopkeeper still seemed to have a lot of concerns.
At first, Anhuo Shaxi didn't understand what this concern was. She thought that the shopkeeper could be crazy and powerful.
But she shouldn't have such concerns. After all, she is the supreme god.
God only accepts offerings, so how could he have such concerns?
Just when Anhuo Shaxi felt that something was wrong with the shopkeeper and wanted to ask the shopkeeper what happened, a particularly terrible thought hit her.
——Speaking of which, this thought originated from a dodge.
Anhuo Shaxi was talking to the shopkeeper with a smile at the time, but when she tried to look at the shopkeeper, she quickly moved her eyes away as if she was burned.
This action caught Anhuo Shaxi off guard.
Why did she suddenly show that expression?
The shopkeeper rarely deliberately avoids anyone.
But at that moment, her expression was like a child who had told a lie but was suddenly caught.
Anhuo Shaxi forced herself to suppress the sudden uneasiness in her heart.
She asked jokingly, "How is it possible that this person will have a great impact on our inn? Aren't you the most powerful person in the world, shopkeeper? Even if something goes wrong, our inn will not fall."
The shopkeeper was slightly stunned at the time, and then suddenly showed an embarrassed expression and said, "Although that is true, that person is different."
"Absolutely different."
"He is a very meaningful person to me." The shopkeeper looked at her with a faint reminiscence in his eyes, and even a kind of tenderness that could not be understood without careful observation.
"What's the meaning?" Anhuo Shaxi asked.
"Most of the time, he is willing to pretend to be harmless in front of me, but I know that his nature should not be like this." The shopkeeper said.
"But if he wants to pretend, I will never expose him, and I will even pretend with him." She said softly.
An Huoshaxi's heart tightened slightly.
——The terrible reputation of the owner of Huaci Tower has been heard by the whole world.
No one can make the owner of Huacilou reveal a trace of girlish aura. To those people, Anhuo Shaxi will always be a guy scarier than the devil.
Except for the shopkeeper.
Anhuo Shaxi is willing to act cute in front of her every day, and the shopkeeper seems to know her true face at all.
She looked up at the shopkeeper, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
"But it's not her own fault." When the shopkeeper said this, he seemed to be afraid that Anhuo Shaxi would misunderstand, and hurriedly shook his head to deny it.
"If a person is deceived by the people around her, it should not be her own fault no matter what." Her voice was very soft.
"In the underworld, cheating and being cheated are happening all the time." said the shopkeeper.
She still looked at An Huo Sha Xi tenderly.
"She comes from a very far place, but she is also one of us."
"Always."
An Huo Sha Xi is not a fool.
... She actually heard it.
Maybe, at the beginning, the shopkeeper didn't expect her to hear it.
But she was indeed a little clumsy.
Maybe it was because of the anxious mood, or maybe it was because the person in front of her was her, so the shopkeeper lost all his past shrewdness.
Then, she caught him.
An Huo Sha Xi listened to her voice, and for a moment, she actually wanted to cry.
She lowered her head, and at that moment, she suddenly understood why the shopkeeper suddenly called her over today, and then suddenly acted so clumsy.
Because lying was not her forte.
A person like the shopkeeper should rarely lie.
An Huoshaxi remembered that the shopkeeper had always been a particularly proud person. Whether in the stories of their Jiyou Sect or in the stories of the Central Plains, the shopkeeper always traveled the world with a sword, as cold as a weapon that could only kill people.
However, who would have known that such a shopkeeper would actually gently comfort a person who was much younger than her and even hopelessly stupid?
Is it necessary to use lying for someone like her?
Even, so cautious.
An Huo Shaxi now thinks of the hesitant expression of the shopkeeper when he first opened his mouth, and even feels like crying.
"How important is that person to you?" She suddenly asked softly after a long time.
"Huh?"
- This was Feng Qing's reaction at the time.
She was waiting to ask for advice humbly, but when she heard such a sentence, she murmured in her heart that classmate An Huo's focus seemed to be different.
Generally speaking, shouldn't some reasonable opinions be given? Even a pure love novice like her can argue a few words.
"Shopkeeper, you must tell me the truth, because now, I just want to hear the truth."
Feng Qing looked at An Huo's serious expression and was shocked again.
She thought to herself, what's the matter with this expression of catching a mistress?
I told you not to take someone else's "friend's story" as your own story, you bastard!
"This, that..." Feng Qing was unable to say the next sentence after a long time, but An Huo suddenly waved his hand and said, "Shopkeeper, you don't have to say anything, I understand everything."
... What did you understand?
"Thank you." An Huo Shaxi said softly in a low voice.
... No, although you look very good now, with a painful expression with a little relief, and a little struggle in the relief, such a complex expression that even the best actors can't act out, combined with the lighting next to it, it is particularly atmospheric, and you can even use it as a model, but this does not mean that you can use Central Plains words at will.
Stupid Westerners, have you even forgotten the meaning of the word thank you!
"Shopkeeper, I'm leaving first." An Huo said and stumbled out of here.
Feng Qing watched her bump into three chairs and a table in a row, and even once it seemed that her little finger hit it, and a painful expression appeared on her face.
"Why don't you stop struggling and just lie down." Feng Qing suddenly showed a relieved expression on her face. She opened a bag of potato chips and began to crunch them.
"I suddenly found that I can't understand each other with humans."
...In the Hengshan Sect, a group of people are struggling to climb up the mountain.
"Brother Chen, don't be afraid." The man showed a serious look on his face.
"I will definitely rescue you!"
