Chapter 103 Qingyun Sect Genius——Zhong Hanshang
After eating and drinking their fill, the two of them put down their bowls and chopsticks contentedly, paid the bill, and strode out of the restaurant.
At this moment, there were still a lot of people outside, monks of all kinds were walking around, and noisy sounds were heard one after another.
Gao Huohuo and Su Ruoyun had no intention of paying attention to the lively scene. Their minds and eyes were focused on the important matter of finding a place to live.
They searched house by house along the long street, and every time they arrived at the door of an inn, they were full of expectations.
But the responses they received after stepping through the threshold were like buckets of cold water, mercilessly extinguishing the fire of their hope.
The waiter's formal apology was - "I'm really sorry, gentlemen, our hotel is full, please look elsewhere."
Or "We are very sorry, our store has been booked by a large sect and we are temporarily unable to accept individual guests."
In this way, he visited five or six inns in succession, but returned empty-handed.
Gao Huohuo's patience was gradually worn away, and the nameless anger in his heart was rekindled.
She couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "What kind of bad luck is this today? Why is it so difficult to find a vacant room?
Do you really want us to sleep on the street and feed mosquitoes all night?"
When the two of them dragged their heavy steps, almost mechanically, they arrived at the door of the last inn at the end of the street.
Gao Huohuo and Su Ruoyun looked at each other and saw deep powerlessness and despair in each other's eyes.
Having completely lost the initial expectations, he slowly stepped into the lobby of the inn with the pure intention of trying his luck.
The light in the store was dim, and there were a few customers sitting sparsely in the lobby drinking tea and relaxing. The sound of abacus beads being plucked was crisp.
The shopkeeper looked at the two of them, with a smile on his face, as if doing nothing, and asked slowly:
"My dear guests, would you like to have a quick meal or stay overnight?"
Gao Huohuo hurried forward, his anxiety barely concealed in his words:
"Boss, we're staying at your hotel. Do you have any vacancies?"
When she asked this question, her voice trembled slightly, as if she had foreseen the disappointing answer.
Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper paused for a moment and said leisurely:
"What a coincidence, there's only one room left. Do you two want one?"
Gao Huohuo and Su Ruoyun's eyes suddenly lit up, and surprise instantly filled their eyes.
Gao Huohuo was so excited that he almost jumped up and nodded repeatedly:
"Yes, yes, yes, boss, thank you so much!"
Su Ruoyun also couldn't hide her smile, and quickly took out enough spirit stones from her storage ring and handed them over.
After the shopkeeper checked everything and confirmed everything was correct, he waved over the waiter, gave him a few instructions, and then asked him to lead the two to the guest room.
The two men followed closely behind the waiter, their steps so light that they seemed to be flying, and walked quickly up the creaking stairs.
When I pushed open the door, I found that the furnishings in the room were simple but neat and tidy. There was a bed, a square wooden table, a few chairs, and a small window letting in a few rays of light.
Although there was only this one room, the two of them had to stay together for one night.
But in their eyes at this moment, this place is simply a safe haven, which is a thousand times better than sleeping in the wilderness and being exposed to the wind and rain.
The two smiled at each other, their hearts filled with relief and peace of mind. At least they could sleep soundly tonight.
Have a good night.
The next day, the two decided to go to the Dongxue River first to at least get a feel for the terrain.
After asking for the specific location, the two did not fly on swords this time, but went there on foot.
After all, there are many people from large sects here, so in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the two of them traveled in a low-key manner.
When he arrived at the Dongxue River, Gao Huohuo discovered that it was actually an underground river.
As soon as the two men went down to the underground river, they heard a sound coming from the front.
In order to avoid being mistaken for a member of the evil group, Gao Huohuo quickly took out an invisibility talisman and put one on each of them.
In order to prevent the two from secretly touching each other, Gao Huohuo had to hold Su Ruoyun's hand.
It was the first time that Su Ruoyun was pulled by someone like this, and her heart suddenly felt warm.
With Gao Huohuo pulling her forward, the two of them soon met the group of people talking in front.
Judging from their appearance, they are most likely upright cultivators from large sects.
The robes he wore were all carefully cut from the finest silk, with a delicate texture and a faint aura flowing through them, revealing his extraordinary origins.
Looking at the various weapons in their hands, whether long swords or treasured fans, each one is not an ordinary item and is of very high grade.
Just by looking at the attire of these cultivators, you can tell that they have a profound background and are definitely not comparable to ordinary cultivators.
Gao Huohuo pulled Su Ruoyun close to the cave of the underground river and held his breath.
One of them asked, "Where did that evil cultivator go? Didn't the Saint say he fled back here?"
"Since the Saint Lady said it's here, then it must be here. Didn't you see Fellow Daoist Zhong also looking for it here?"
After the man finished speaking, he called out to the back, "Fellow Daoist Zhong, do you need help?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a tall and slender figure, as if carrying the wind and the moon, walked towards him from behind.
The young man's posture was as straight as a pine tree, his back was not bent at all, and his moon-white robe fluttered in the wind.
It makes him look even more extraordinary and otherworldly, and the aura he exudes is cold yet noble.
Gao Huohuo's heart moved, and he thought to himself:
Could this be the legendary genius of Qingyun Sect - Zhong Hanshang?
She couldn't help but look up and carefully examine the person in front of her.
The young man had eyebrows like ink paintings, and his eyes were narrow and deep, with a cold and distant look in the darkness that kept people away.
The nose bridge is high and straight, and the thin lips are light in color, as if covered with a thin layer of frost.
Look at him, he exudes a dignified and solemn air from head to toe.
He stood straight, looking straight ahead, with a stern expression, and his words and actions were typical of a decent monk.
Gao Huohuo was still watching when she felt Su Ruoyun's hand suddenly scratching her palm.
Gao Huohuo, who was confused, was about to send a message to Su Ruoyun when she saw Zhong Hanshang staring at their position.
Holy shit, could this even be discovered? Isn't this protagonist's aura a bit too strong?
Gao Huohuo took the opportunity to pull Su Ruoyun down slowly, and the next second a stream of spiritual power hit the place where her head had just been.
She patted herself in fear. Fortunately, she was smart enough to squat down in advance, otherwise she would have been mistaken for an evil cultivator.
"Friend Zhong, is there anything wrong there?"
The people around him looked at him and suddenly a stream of spiritual power hit the edge of the cave, and asked with a puzzled look on their faces.
Zhong Hanshang shook his head. He just had a hunch, so he took action to test it.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to this side anymore, Gao Huohuo hurriedly pulled Su Ruoyun and walked inside.
It’s better to stay away from these upright monks. The disciples of these big sects all have some evil things in them.
The previous Yu Siyuan was able to directly destroy the secret realm.
Therefore, the sudden appearance of so many upright monks is likely to cause quite a stir.
After everyone had gone far away, Gao Huohuo tore off the invisibility talisman and revealed himself with Su Ruoyun.
"Friend Su, let's go quickly and take a look inside. Maybe they will be back soon."
Su Ruoyun glanced in the direction where the upright monks left, then turned around and walked inside with Gao Huohuo.
