Chapter 102: The most beautiful woman in Cangyun Realm? Who gave her the title?
"I've never seen so many people before. I don't know what strange thing happened this year, but the streets and alleys are packed with monks.
Why don't we go find out the details first? If we act rashly, we might end up in trouble."
Su Ruoyun frowned, her eyes full of doubt. She turned to look at Gao Huohuo with a questioning look in her eyes.
Gao Huohuo nodded slightly, agreeing with this.
The reason behind this abnormal phenomenon must be complicated.
Either there was some other sudden change here, which affected the whole area and attracted all forces to come;
Or maybe the news that there was a treasure hidden in the Dongxue River spread quickly and leaked out, which attracted so many covetous people.
If it was the former, as long as they handled it carefully, it wouldn't affect their original plan;
But if it is the latter, the situation will become serious in an instant, as the number of competitors increases and the variables increase greatly.
Then the two of them would have to reconsider and plan carefully, otherwise, not to mention finding the treasure, it would be a problem whether they could escape safely.
The two of them walked along the street, found a roadside restaurant that looked relatively quiet, and walked in.
There were few diners in the restaurant, the tables and chairs were neatly arranged, and the air was filled with the faint aroma of food.
Gao Huohuo raised his hand and called out, "Boss, two bowls of wontons, please."
Don't underestimate these wontons. In this place of cultivating immortals, prices are skyrocketing. A bowl costs ten low-grade spirit stones.
However, the price is not exorbitant, as the ingredients are all imbued with spiritual energy.
The skin is made of flour ground from spiritual grains, and the filling is made of spiritual meat. Not only is it delicious, but it can also nourish spiritual power when eaten.
Ordinary people would save money for a long time and sometimes chip in to buy a bowl to try the freshness and get a taste of the fairy air.
Of course, there are also some monks who are proud of their status and think that eating wontons in this street restaurant is too mundane, which is not in line with their noble status and is a loss of face for the monks.
Fortunately, Su Ruoyun and Gao Huohuo are not pretentious people. When it comes to eating, they have similar interests and are not arrogant.
Soon, two bowls of steaming wontons were served on the table. The two of them didn't hesitate to pick up the spoons and started eating.
He ate with such heartiness and satisfaction, without showing any sign of disgust at all.
Gao Huohuo enjoyed the meal so much that he felt he was still not satisfied, so he paid out of his own pocket and generously asked the boss to add another bowl for the two of them.
When she had almost finished eating, Su Ruoyun wiped the oil stains from the corner of her mouth.
She raised her eyes to look at the boss, her eyes moved, she smiled gently, and spoke softly:
"Boss, I want to ask you something. Why are there so many monks suddenly appearing here recently?
I haven’t seen such a lively scene in the past.”
The boss was busy in the kitchen. He heard the sound and stuck his head out, holding a rag in his hand.
Hearing this, he first looked around cautiously, making sure no one was paying attention to this side, then he crouched down in front of the table and said in a low voice:
"Fairy, you may not know this, but it is said that an evil cultivator's lair has been discovered in that dark river.
When these upright monks heard the news, they rushed over like a tide, wave after wave, all threatening to wipe out the evil cultivators and eliminate the harm to the people."
"What kind of evil cultivator is causing such a big commotion?
Could it be that he is a vicious criminal who has committed some heinous crime that requires so many monks to be dispatched to surround and suppress him?"
Gao Huohuo put down the spoon, became curious, and asked with blinking eyes.
The boss looked around cautiously again, lowered his body even lower, and spoke in a voice almost as soft as a mosquito:
"Fairy, this is a very mysterious matter!
I heard that the evil cultivator was so ignorant of his own danger that he provoked the Saint of Liuli Sect and killed her beloved mount. This caused a huge trouble!
The saint girl is the apple of Liuli Sect's eye and is the apple of everyone's eye. If she gets angry, who in the sect dares to slack off?
As the news spread, various forces sent their elites to help in order to please the Liuli Sect.
Even Qingyun Sect’s number one genius, Zhong Hanshang, has personally come out, it’s quite a grand event!”
"Just killed a mount?" Gao Huohuo blurted out in astonishment without thinking.
"What did that evil cultivator do to the Saint? Did he kill her by tearing her into pieces?"
The boss was so frightened that he waved his hands around nervously and tried to stop him:
"Fairy, don't be so outspoken! Nine out of ten monks who come here are followers of the Saint.
They are loyal to the Saint, and if they heard this, it would be a disaster, and there would be a big mess!"
Gao Huohuo curled his lips and muttered softly:
"If you don't know, you might think the Saint was killed. Why are you mobilizing so many troops? It's really not necessary!
These large sects are also too idle to pursue those evil cultivators who are truly causing trouble to the world and attempting to overthrow the universe.
Instead, they started a big fight over a mount. Maybe they just gave him the title of evil cultivator.
Just because I offended that saint, I was accused of such a serious crime."
The restaurant owner was busy greeting other customers and didn't notice her whisper, but Su Ruoyun, who was sitting opposite her, heard it clearly.
Su Ruoyun was stunned at first, then she reacted and burst out laughing.
He gave Gao Huohuo an admiring look, smiled slightly and nodded, and his liking for Gao Huohuo increased a little more.
Originally, she was full of worries, fearing that Gao Huohuo would become timid after knowing that this matter involved a large sect.
Taking into account the intimidation from those famous sects, they backed off and were unwilling to join him in the treasure hunt.
Now seeing her so casual and free-spirited, without any scruples, and with uninhibited words, it was obvious that she was a person who did what she wanted, which was just in line with her own temperament.
"Friend Su, do you know the Saintess of the Liuli Sect?"
Gao Huohuo took a bite of wonton and asked vaguely.
“I’ve heard a little bit about her. I heard that she is the most beautiful woman in the Cangyun Realm and has an extremely high talent for cultivation.
He has been a rising star since he was young, attracting much attention and gaining a great reputation in the world of immortal cultivation."
Su Ruoyun answered truthfully.
"The most beautiful woman in Cangyun Realm? Who gave her the title?
My senior sisters are all as beautiful as fairies and have extraordinary temperaments. Why don’t we see anyone promoting them so much?
It's possible that the saint herself spread this name to build up her own momentum!"
Gao Huohuo's face was full of dissatisfaction, and his words were full of defense for his senior sister.
Su Ruoyun couldn't help laughing, and her smile became even wider:
"Fellow Daoist Gao is absolutely right. I have had the honor of meeting your Third and Seventh Senior Sisters. Their beauty and talent are truly rare in this world.
To say she is a rare beauty is no exaggeration."
"If Fellow Daoist Su were to put on women's clothing, he would be so graceful and charming that he would outshine all the other beauties. How could she still be considered the most beautiful woman?"
Gao Huohuo chuckled and teased.
While chatting and laughing, Gao Huohuo thought of the many setbacks he had encountered along the way, and his brows unconsciously frowned.
At first, he could only stay in the dilapidated temple at Ziwu Peak, but now that he was here, the inn was completely surrounded by a large sect.
Am I born to be a hard worker and can't even get a good night's sleep?
The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, and his face fell.
Seeing her like this, Su Ruoyun knew what she was thinking, so she tried to comfort her:
"Fellow Daoist Gao, don't be so sad. Don't worry, even if I can't find an inn, I will never let you sleep in the wilderness and suffer that.
We can think of a way to finally find a place to stay."
