Chapter 179
Ye Lan was extremely nervous. When Leng Qingqiu pulled him to the door of the room, he spoke softly, trying to persuade Leng Qingqiu: "Since there are only two rooms here, you also know that I am a delicate and precious person..."
Before he could finish his words, Leng Qingqiu pushed him into the room.
He was knocked down by the door as soon as he turned around!
Leng Qingqiu held Ye Lan against the door with both hands. He smiled and said, "You are so delicate and noble, you are more suitable for being served, right?"
Ye Lan: ...
This followed, leaving him unable to refute.
It's good to have someone to serve you, but...
Ye Lan glanced at the half-smiling Leng Qingqiu and said, "You've gotten into the role pretty quickly. Don't forget, I'm your master!"
The smile in Leng Qingqiu's eyes became even more intense. He leaned close to Ye Lan's cheek, and his warm breath sprayed on his ear.
"How could Qingqiu dare to forget that you are my master, so I have to serve you, right?"
Leng Qingqiu deliberately emphasized the last three words, and Ye Lan's mind started to wander again after hearing them.
This was clearly a normal conversation, but he always felt something was wrong.
Ye Lan had just driven out the strange thoughts in his mind when Leng Qingqiu had already let go of his hand, as if the person who had just made the brave move was not him.
Ye Lan also slipped out of the door and stood aside, looking at Leng Qingqiu warily.
Leng Qingqiu found it funny, but he didn't say anything. He just took out the wooden barrel from his Qiankun bag and filled it with hot water as usual.
He even prepared a set of clean clothes for Ye Lan and placed them aside. Then he turned to Ye Lan and said, "You've been traveling these past few days and must have worked hard. Take a hot bath and have a good rest. I'll go downstairs and wait for Han Dun."
After Leng Qingqiu finished his instructions, he opened the door and walked out before Ye Lan could react.
Ye Lan looked at the steaming hot bath water, and the indescribable feeling in his heart surged up again.
Ye Lan patted his cheek, trying hard not to let his thoughts run wild.
He quickly walked into the bathtub and took a comfortable bath.
He wasn't very tired this time, so he just soaked for a short while and came out.
He changed into the clothes Leng Qingqiu had prepared for him, and when he looked up he saw a figure at the door.
Ye Lan walked to the door without taking the time to clean up and opened it.
The first thing Ye Lan saw was Leng Qingqiu's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot. He couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
Leng Qingqiu rarely showed his anger, and Ye Lan's eyes fell on the doorplate in his hand.
"Han Dun hasn't come back yet?" he asked tentatively.
Leng Qingqiu nodded and said, "I contacted him about where we were, but he didn't show up."
When Ye Lan heard this, his heart sank to the bottom.
Although they had not been together for a long time, Ye Lan knew that Han Dun was a simple and honest man, and it was absolutely impossible for him not to answer Leng Qingqiu's words.
If you don't answer in time, then...
"Something happened to him!"
"Something happened to him!"
Ye Lan and Leng Qingqiu couldn't help but say in unison.
Ye Lan narrowed his eyes, his mind spinning rapidly.
This was their first time stepping into Xingyao City. Logically speaking, it was impossible for Han Dun to disappear.
but……
Ye Lan instantly thought of the person they used to establish their authority when they first entered the inn.
Those pointed ears and monkey cheeks look like they are full of evil intentions!
Ye Lan quickly cast a spell and appeared in front of the shopkeeper in a flash.
Leng Qingqiu followed closely behind and quickly set up a barrier to block the current conversation.
Ye Lan stretched out his hand, but Leng Qingqiu got there first and grabbed the shopkeeper's chin tightly with one hand.
The shopkeeper was controlled by someone before he could even react. The account book in his hand fell to the ground instantly. He begged for mercy with a look of horror on his face.
"Please spare my life, Immortal, please spare my life! I don't know what I have done wrong to deserve such treatment!"
Leng Qingqiu exuded a cold air all over his body, and Ye Lan began to question him.
"Are there any people from the Xiaoyao Sect coming today? If you tell the truth, then there will be nothing wrong with you. If not..."
Leng Qingqiu followed Ye Lan's words and increased the strength in his hands when he said the word "if".
The shopkeeper screamed in pain instantly.
"No, no, no! Let's talk it over! I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"
He was just an employee and didn't want to get involved in the affairs of these immortal cultivators.
He opened his mouth readily, which made Ye Lan feel relieved. However, he was very unhappy with the manager's dilatory attitude. His eyes turned cold and he shouted angrily, "Hurry up and speak!"
The innkeeper shuddered, "Actually, after you went upstairs, a dark-looking immortal man came to the inn."
Ye Lan signaled Leng Qingqiu with his eyes, and Leng Qingqiu increased the strength in his hands after receiving the instructions.
The shopkeeper howled miserably a few times before continuing, "The Third Young Master of Xingyao City saw that he was also from the Xiaoyao Sect, so he approached and started a conversation, leading him out. I... I... I was too far away to hear clearly, but I vaguely heard them say, 'Eastern Suburbs...'"
Leng Qingqiu let go of his hand and threw the shopkeeper to the ground.
He took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, then used his spiritual power to crush the already dirty handkerchief, pulled Ye Lan up, cast a spell and chased towards the eastern suburbs.
The moment they turned to leave, neither of them noticed the sneer on the shopkeeper's lips.
Ye Lan, who was being hurried along by Leng Qingqiu, couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you let me take action just now?"
Leng Qingqiu said coldly, "Dirty..." without even turning his head.
Ye Lan curled her lips, and her thoughts instantly returned to what had just happened.
He always felt that something was not right, as if the shopkeeper had given him instructions too smoothly.
Thinking about it, Ye Lan also asked the questions he had discovered.
"I feel this trip is not simple. The shopkeeper was so arrogant when we first met him. We threatened him and asked him questions, but he answered them so readily. I'm afraid there's something fishy going on."
Leng Qingqiu tightened his grip on Ye Lan's hand and said, "If there's a trick, won't you go find Han Dun?"
Ye Lan shook his head, "No, I'll go even if it means cheating."
Not to mention that they are from the same sect, secondly, Han Dun was entrusted to his care by the sect leader. If anything happened to him, the sect leader would hold him accountable.
Therefore, even though he knew that the East Suburbs was a Hongmen Banquet, Ye Lan would definitely go there!
Leng Qingqiu curled the corners of his lips and smiled at Ye Lan, "As long as you don't say anything, I can believe that our trip will be smooth."
He could clearly remember someone's bad mouth, but this person was unaware of it.
Ye Lan's channel wasn't jumping that fast yet, and he didn't understand what Leng Qingqiu meant for a moment.
Leng Qingqiu held Ye Lan's hand tightly and walked even faster.
So what if the Hongmen Banquet happened?
He wanted to see who could touch him in front of Leng Qingqiu.
