Li Yue just stared at Feng Qing blankly, and Feng Qing also stared at Li Yue blankly.

After staring at each other for about ten seconds, Li Yue walked out from the back.

He said with a very calm expression, "Boss, is there anything to eat?"

"What do you want to eat?" Feng Qing was stunned for a moment, and pulled out a bag of potato chips from the cabinet next to him.

"...Here, do you want to eat it?"

Li Yue walked over, took the potato chips in his hand, but looked at them over and over for a long time. Feng Qing secretly glanced at Li Yue's expression, then helped him open the bag of potato chips, and let him take the first bite.

"It's a very unique taste." Li Yue frowned and said, "What is this taste?"

Feng Qing silently looked at the bag.

...The taste of cherry blossom powder and lychee soaked in water.

Ahem, she waved her hand, "Don't worry, does it taste okay?"

"Yeah, it's okay."

"Then you can take it back and eat it." Feng Qing waved her hand, and Li Yue also waved her hand politely, "Then I'll go back first, shopkeeper."

The moment the door was closed, Feng Qing's face suddenly became expressionless, and then she looked at the box of glass balls next to her.

Li Yue didn't react at all.

How can I say, if glass balls were valuable in ancient times, a second-hand vendor would be very happy if he saw it.

"This thing, really can't be taken for granted." Feng Qing picked up a glass ball with a small pink flower printed on it, took a look, and then threw it back.

She closed the box of the glass balls and threw it into the cabinet next to her.

How about giving it to Xiaobai to play with tomorrow? Feng Qing thought.

But Xiaobai seems to be quite precocious, and with his personality, he doesn't look like a child who would like to play with this kind of thing.

Li Yue walked out of the lobby and returned to his room.

However, the first second he stepped into the room, his legs couldn't help but go limp.

Cold sweat flowed uncontrollably from his forehead. He could hear his heart beating, and his whole body was covered with goose bumps from being in the same space with the shopkeeper.

The thing that the shopkeeper just took out was...

Li Yue's pupils dilated, and he knew he must have seen it right.

...

Thinking back to not long ago, he saw Hua Jing steal the priceless Nine-Turn Colored Glass Bead with his own eyes.

That glass bead caused a great commotion in the capital, and the aftermath of this glass bead has not ended until today.

However, what were those things that were shining in the candlelight just now?

Li Yue didn't know why the shopkeeper could be so calm in front of a box of soft and glittering glass beads, but it seemed that the shopkeeper didn't seem to care about the box of glass beads.

Wait, Li Yue suddenly remembered something.

- Three months ago, a thunderbolt descended from the sky, illuminating the dark early morning.

The thunderbolt was suspected to be caused by the appearance of some treasure.

And the so-called treasure, everyone has been guessing what it is for so long, but no one has found it.

But it is nearby.

Li Yue suddenly felt that the cold sweat on her forehead was as thick as water.

Wait, that so-called thunderbolt, could it be...

Feng Qing also carried a bag of potato chips upstairs. Although eating potato chips at night was a bit too luxurious, it was always uncomfortable to watch a drama in the middle of the night without eating something.

Before he knew it, the sky was getting light, and Feng Qing stayed up all night.

Although this kind of lifestyle seems unhealthy, it is not sure which one is more unhealthy compared to going to bed before 11 o'clock every day, getting up at 6 or 7 o'clock the next day to go to work, and working all day.

Generally, when the sun rises, it is almost time for Feng Qing to go downstairs to eat and then go back to sleep.

Li Qi also knew the shopkeeper's habit, so he left some food as usual. Then he saw Li Yue with dark circles under her eyes coming out from the back.

Why is she like this? Didn't you sleep well last night? Li Qi frowned slightly.

Chu Changzui also yawned lazily and sat down in front of the dining table. Usually, it was time for An Huoshaxi to return to the inn.

Sure enough, after a while, a little girl who looked well-behaved walked in from outside while yawning.

There was no guest in the inn at this time. This was the usual meal time for the inn's employees. Li Yue was invited to eat together because he got up too early. He looked at the three people in the inn with mixed feelings.

Do these guys know how scary their shopkeeper is?

Li Yue glanced at Li Qi, who should be Li Guxing.

Putting him aside, one of the remaining two people is a very young child. Although the child looks much smarter than his peers, he is just a child after all.

Not to mention the little girl next to him who looks well-behaved.

It is too dangerous to stay around this shopkeeper. Although Li Yue likes to make friends, she is more afraid of being involved in some terrible incident.

The secret to his survival over the years was to judge the situation, but he felt that it would be too terrible to let this group of people continue to work in the inn without knowing anything.

Li Yue drank the porridge carefully, and then saw the shopkeeper yawning as he went downstairs.

"I may have to go back in a while." Li Yue asked Feng Qing for instructions.

He was very cautious when he said this. Although he had been dancing on the edge of a knife for so many years, it did not mean that he still had the confidence to stay in front of someone he could not see through at all.

Although he would most likely be hunted down by a group of people as soon as he went out.

Li Yue glanced slightly behind him without being noticed.

Ever since that scream was heard from the street yesterday, the whole street has become quiet.

Li Yue didn't think that those people could just stay quiet like this. He always felt that these people were hiding somewhere in the corner of the street, secretly spying on this place.

Feng Qing asked while yawning, "Why so soon?"

She didn't think much about it, but she felt that Li Yue was introduced by Hua Jing, and it was a bit unfair to Hua Jing to leave so soon.

"Nothing, just something happened at home." Li Yue himself didn't know what he was talking about.

He had been wandering around the world since he could remember things, and he himself couldn't remember what his family looked like, but his mind was a little confused at the moment, so he couldn't think of any reason for a while.

"Your family?" Chu Changzui was stunned for a moment. There was no rumor that Li Yue had any family.

However, many people in the underworld would hide their background very well, so it is normal that they don't know.

"Home? What's going on at home?" Feng Qing was also the type who was looking for trouble, so he asked as well.

"Well, my sister gave birth to a child, and I want to go back to see my nephew."

Feng Qing's brows suddenly wrinkled, and Li Yue's heart sank to the bottom.

What's wrong?

Why did the shopkeeper suddenly show such an expression? Could it be that she had already seen that he was talking nonsense?

At that moment, Li Yue's heart started beating wildly again.

By the way, his mind was in a mess just now, so he made up a lie that sounded extremely unreliable, but he thought the shopkeeper would not care about this lie, but she seemed to take it seriously all of a sudden.

He held his pulse and controlled his heartbeat, shouting in his heart, "Don't be discovered, don't be discovered!"

Feng Qing raised her head and looked at Li Yue's face for a long time. Every look of hers could make Li Yue's blood pressure soar.

Then, she suddenly stood up.

The sound of the chair rubbing against the ground instantly made Li Yue's soul return to the west.

He thought it was over, it was finally over.

All this was just because he was too scared, so his mind was not very clear. Li Yue didn't expect that she had been smart for so long, but she turned over because of this incident.

Feng Qing stood up without saying a word, then turned around and came to a cabinet behind her. To be honest, the moment she opened the cabinet, Li Yue almost thought that she must be dead this time.

Then...

then, he saw the shopkeeper take out a very familiar box.

The box seemed to be made of paper, and it didn't look very luxurious, but just by looking at the box, Li Yue instantly remembered what was inside.

...Huh?

"Here you are."

Feng Qing held the box of glass balls and placed it in front of Li Yue.

She opened the lid of the box and pushed it forward, "You are Hua Jing's friend, right?" "

I don't have any gifts for your sister's birth, just some small toys. If you like them, you can take them first."

It just so happened that when she was cleaning the house some time ago, she felt that there were too many things and it was a bit too messy. With so many messy things piled up in the house, sooner or later the whole house would be filled up, so it would be better to deal with it as soon as possible.

Feng Qing solved a big problem in his heart, so he heaved a sigh of relief. He felt that the food in front of him smelled much better, and he ate a few more mouthfuls of porridge.

At this moment, there was silence at the dining table.

Chu Changzui stopped chewing after the lid was opened, and An Huo Shaxi was almost the same.

Of course, her eyes were shining when she looked at the box.

She has always liked these shiny things.

The only one who can be considered calm here is Li Qi.

He softened his throat lightly, and then said, "Eat, the guests will be here soon."

"Oh."

After Li Qi finished speaking, the people in the room began to eat rice as if they had just woken up from a dream.

Li Yue felt that his throat was choked, and his brain was still in a daze after the huge impact.

"Why, give me this?" He felt that his voice was floating.

Li Qi, who was eating, paused slightly, then raised his head and looked out the door.

Many mice hiding in the dark appeared. Most

of them were shocked by the thing that the shopkeeper took out, so even though they were afraid of the shopkeeper, they couldn't help but show their heads at this time.

"Why?" Feng Qing chewed on his chopsticks.

To be honest, the words of recycling waste sound too hurtful, and they can't be said like this.

Her popularity in the first twenty years was bad enough, she didn't want to make her popularity even worse in the rest of her life.

What excuse should she use?

"Because you and Hua Jing are friends." Feng Qing looked at Li Yue and said with a smile, "and Hua Jing and I are friends."

"So, we are friends too."

...

"What are they saying in there?" Someone asked in a whisper on the street outside.

"I don't know, I can't hear it clearly."

"Then can't you move closer?"

"Do you dare to move closer?"

"Stop arguing, I heard it more clearly, it seems that the shopkeeper told Li Yue that because they are friends, the shopkeeper gave him that thing."

"Hiss, what?"

In an instant, the people hiding in the street corner were shocked.

The people of Jianghu had heard that Li Yue had friends all over the world, from all walks of life, but that was all they thought of him.

Making friends was not a very important skill in the minds of Jianghu people, after all, everyone had a few friends.

But today, even this scary shopkeeper actually considered him a friend?

At that moment, Li Yue suddenly changed drastically in everyone's eyes.

Originally, in everyone's eyes, Li Yue was a loser who seemed to be unable to do anything except causing trouble. But at this moment, Li Yue's image suddenly expanded rapidly in everyone's eyes.

From "a person with many friends" to "a person who can make friends with everyone", the difference between the two is huge.

Sometimes, it is so easy to deify a person. He only needs to do something that others can't do, and then he will become mysterious in the hearts of others.

Li Yue finally figured out why at this moment. It turned out that it was not because of him, but because of Hua Jing's face.

Hua Jing is really a powerful person.

He didn't want these jewelry. After all, it was a hot potato for him. But the shopkeeper was really generous to his friends.

"No, shopkeeper." Li Yue said, "It will be troublesome to carry this."

"Trouble? Not at all." Feng Qing said.

It's just such a big box, and Li Yue doesn't have much luggage, how troublesome can it be?

"Don't worry, it's absolutely fine." Feng Qing said, thinking back to when she went to college, she carried four boxes on her back, and she went there by herself on a train for thousands of miles.

Li Yue once again had a new understanding of the shopkeeper's strength.

The shopkeeper's tone was so relaxed, as if he didn't care about the people outside at all.

This must be... How confident.
