Chapter 27 I won't kill you
"arrive."
The four men put down their swords and walked into the city.
Flying a sword is not allowed in the inner city, and Chao Jian had reminded him of this before leaving.
The monks guarding the city carefully checked their passes and asked them again and again. Fortunately, their passes were very ingeniously made, and the four of them had memorized them in advance and answered the questions fluently, so the guards let them in.
This is unusual.
Xiao Xuantong and Ruan Wei looked at each other.
When entering the city gate, Xiao Xuantong led the twins and deliberately walked away from her.
Ruan Wei chose a guard who looked young.
Ruan Wei asked casually with a smile, "The last time I came here, the inspection wasn't so strict. Fellow Daoist, may I ask, what happened in this city?"
The young man blushed and shook his head, "No, nothing happened... The succession ceremony will be held in a few days, and the head of the family asked us to be more strict with the visitors."
"Oh," Ruan Wei nodded gently and didn't ask any more questions. "Thank you, fellow Taoist."
The young man waved his hands and didn't dare to look at her again.
After they walked a little further away from the city gate, Ruan Wei met up with the other three in an alley.
Xiao Xuantong, "What do you mean?"
"The Ruan family's succession ceremony will be held in a few days," Ruan Wei pondered. Thinking of the person she had just met outside the city gate, she confirmed her guess, "He doesn't want my brother to succeed to the throne."
Xiao Xuantong agreed, "So he called Ruan Jianjiang back."
Chang Huaijin was surprised at this time, "! Senior Sister, you are Ruan Ruanzhi's sister?!"
Ruan Wei, "Yeah, what's wrong?"
Isn't it widely known in Tongzhou that the second disciple of the Penglai Immortal Sect is the younger sister of the Ruan family's Qilin son?
Seeing Ruan Wei's confusion, Wu Yu also expressed shock. "Most rumors are a mixture of truth and falsehood. People mostly just listen for fun. Besides, rumors about Tongzhou are as numerous as snowflakes, and generally no one takes them seriously."
"Especially rumors related to Penglai. Ten out of ten are false, but Tongzhou can't help but like to ponder the story of Penglai."
Chang Huaijin nodded, "Yes, yes, and Senior Sister, you and Ruan Ruanzhi look nothing alike."
Hearing this, Ruan Wei suddenly realized that the memory of his brother was a little vague.
"Have you seen him?" Ruan Wei was silent for a moment. "What does he look like?"
It's been too long.
Her first impression of this world was Ruan Ruanzhi's thin back.
But she only opened her eyes and looked at him for half a day.
The twins couldn't imagine what it was like for a brother and sister not to see each other for four years. Chang Huaijin didn't quite understand what Ruan Wei meant, but he still described Ruan Ruanzhi seriously:
"Yes, Senior Sister, you know that noble families always choose their young masters very early on, and those who are close to them will visit during the holidays. Ruan Ruanzhi chose his young master a few years ago. Our two families are not close, so I am not very familiar with him."
"But one time after the Lunar New Year, the Ruan family came to visit us. Wu Yu hadn't been to my grandparents' that year, so we met Ruan Ruanzhi together. Ah, I know! I was wondering why he was asking Wu Yu what she liked. I figured he was going to give it to my senior sister!"
Chang Huaijin recalled, "Ruan Hongzhi looked very tall, even taller than me. He also had a very imposing presence. My father told me to learn from him."
Oh, he's very tall.
Ruan Wei recalled Ruan Ruanzhi's height four years ago, but found that the comparison was no longer clear.
She was even smaller at that time, and might not even be as tall as her master's sword.
It's very imposing, of course.
Her brother, Ruan Wei, the young master of the Ruan family, how could he not have aura?
After listening to his description and thinking of Ruan Ruanzhi, Ruan Wei felt a little better.
Ruan Wei smiled and said, "It just so happens that Ruan Jianjiang's jade token should be able to allow us to sneak into the Ruan family, right?"
Xiao Xuantong played with the jade token and said, "You can try it."
"But," he changed his tone, "I don't think he knows he's coming back to succeed the throne."
Wu Yu nodded, "It's at the city gate, it doesn't look fake."
Ruan Wei paused, her voice a little hoarse. "I can't explain it clearly. I didn't know it then, but now that I know, I still don't want to think about it."
Like her uncle, he always talks about how great his younger brother is as the head of the family, but in reality...
He wiped out the entire family.
Chang Huaijin said, "I think that Ruan Jianjiang is far inferior to Ruan Ruanzhi. He is not a good enough person to be a family head."
"Yes."
Ruan Wei chuckled and looked intently at the bright red narrow-sleeved robe prepared for Ruan Ruanzhi in the mustard bag. If Ruan Ruanzhi wore this at the succession ceremony, it would definitely be very bright.
"The master of the Red Hare Sword is the head of the Ruan family."
"I have an idea~"
Ruan Wei took the jade token from Xiao Xuantong's hand and said, "Let's make my brother the legitimate heir. He is the legitimate heir anyway."
"If he becomes the head of the family, the poison in me can be cured, and maybe the demon blood that Xiaoyuer needs can be found."
There was a gleam in her eyes and she smiled cunningly.
The three brothers and sisters nodded immediately.
It makes sense.
Nguyen Trang should have been the successor.
From a moral perspective, he is the elder brother of their junior sister (senior sister), so there is no reason not to help his relative.
Logically, it is a fact known to the entire cultivation world that the master of the Red Hare Sword is the head of the Ruan family. It is not that easy for the eldest uncle of the Ruan family to use a dirty trick to get rid of his son.
The four of them decided on the general direction, but the details still need time to be worked out.
They went to the inn where Lun Zhen was staying.
Xiao Xuantong, "Excuse me, four rooms."
The shopkeeper did some calculations and held out his hand without even looking up. "One hundred high-grade spirit stones for the upper room for one night, four hundred."
“…”
Xiao Xuantong and Ruan Wei looked at each other.
Ruan Wei was shocked. She couldn't even spend a hundred high-grade spirit stones in Penglai in a year.
Why don’t you just rob someone who is so heartless!
The spirit stones given by the master are not few, but they are not just for show.
She must let him see the poor ghost's magical skills today -
Bargain!
Ruan Wei pushed away Chang Huaijin, who was delaying her performance, and rolled up her sleeves angrily, saying that she had to bargain for the price.
"I'm not finished yet. Four lower rooms, thank you."
Xiao Xuantong always had a dull expression and his voice was flat.
The shopkeeper only then noticed the swords on their waists and said with a smile, "So you are sword cultivators. I am the one who offended you. Four lower rooms for eighty high-grade spirit stones."
His smile was genuine, and there was no disparaging intent in it.
really.
The poverty of sword cultivators is engraved in the heart of every cultivator.
Ruan Wei was still dissatisfied, "Eighty?"
"Why don't you go—"
Xiao Xuantong pulled Ruan Wei to the back and gave Wu Yu a look.
"I'm sorry, senior sister." Wu Yu stepped forward and covered Ruan Wei's mouth.
Xiao Xuantong gave the spirit stone to the shopkeeper and said, "Please lead the way."
Seeing the shopkeeper accept it, he sent a message to Ruan Wei, "You're almost eighty, and you know how expensive things are here. Less trouble is worse than more, so don't mess around, or I'll tell Second Uncle-Master when I get back."
Ruan Wei: ...Just accept the loss, but it won’t kill you.
The legitimate rights and interests of consumers are not protected.
If you are not poor, who is poor?
A sword cultivator who cares about face is even poorer!
A horse is weak because it is thin, and a man is not romantic because he is poor.
Reading her anger, Xiao Xuantong rolled his eyes at her. Did he want to be poor?
The shopkeeper took the spirit stones, checked the pass for the four of them again, and then led them to their respective rooms.
The shopkeeper asked, "What are you doing here, fellow Taoists?"
"Attending the banquet."
Ruan Wei, who broke free from his restraints, shook the jade token in his hand.
She wanted to see if the people in the inner city of the Ruan family could recognize the card.
The shopkeeper stopped immediately when he saw this and asked, "Are you all guests of the Ruan family?!"
"Sorry! Please follow me. This lower room is not worthy of your status. I will take you to the upper room to rest."
Xiao Xuantong waved his hand, "No need, we live in a room that's priced according to how much we paid."
The innkeeper was sweating profusely and insisted on taking the guests to the upper room. "No! Just follow me! If the owner knew that our inn treats its guests so poorly, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to keep this little shop going."
Xiao Xuantong was about to shake his head, but Ruan Wei grabbed him.
Ruan Wei's eyebrows curved, "Thank you very much, store owner."
A lot of trouble.
Finally settled down.
