Chapter 6 The Killer

Wuchang looked at Shen Yuqing, his black eyes were as calm as ever, as if it was not uncommon for an innkeeper in the wilderness to be able to escape the charm of the Luo brothers and sisters.

Feeling everyone's eyes on her, Shen Yuqing smiled slightly, as if what she had just said was just a trivial matter.

Tu Laoliu was not a good-tempered person to begin with. He did not make trouble before just because he was gloating over the fact that the Luo brothers and sisters were in trouble. But now it was different. Xu Yuan was standing in front of him, and he was about to take the other party into his pocket. But at this moment, an inn owner who was ignorant of the consequences came out to stop him. Looking at Shen Yuqing, who had a pretty face, Tu Laoliu had no patience anymore.

He raised the broad knife, his face full of anger and his eyes flashing with disdain, "Who do you think you are? How dare you point fingers in front of me! I will destroy this inn today, what can you do?" As he said that, Tu Laoliu swung the broad knife and chopped at the nearest dining table.

Xu Yuan did not expect Tu Laoliu to suddenly attack. He had no time to stop him and could not help but worry that he would hurt Manager Shen.

However, something happened the next second that almost no one expected. The dining table that was chopped by the broad knife showed no signs of damage at all. Instead, Tu Laoliu was blown out of the lobby by a force.

The sudden change caught everyone present off guard, but at this moment Shen Yuqing once again smiled with that handsome face and said, "Dear guests, please think twice."

It was just a simple sentence, but it made everyone feel threatened.

Luo Huan's expression became solemn. Although they usually looked down on Tu Laoliu, if a fight really broke out, they would not gain much advantage from Tu Laoliu. And now the shopkeeper in front of them could actually take the opponent's move so easily and knock him away. Even if Tu Laoliu underestimated his enemy, he could not deny that the opponent's strength should not be underestimated.

Luo Yan's expression was equally ugly. She looked at Wu Chang who was standing beside her, bit her lip and asked uncertainly, "Lord Wu Chang..."

Wu Chang's eyes were not too surprised, but they were full of light as he looked at Shen Yuqing. After hearing Luo Yan's question, he said coldly, "Exit the lobby."

Luo Yan frowned, she looked at her brother, and decided to obey Lord Wuchang's orders.

Originally Xu Yuan was still worried that even if he exposed himself when the killer came, those ruthless guys would not let go of the shopkeeper who helped him. But after experiencing what happened just now, Xu Yuan's last doubt was dispelled. Seeing the killer voluntarily leave the lobby, Xu Yuan also walked towards the door. Even if the shopkeeper was willing to protect him, he could not hide in the inn and waste the shopkeeper's kindness. Besides, this incident was originally caused by him, and he did not want innocent people to be implicated because of him.

Watching everyone leave the lobby, Shen Yuqing nodded with satisfaction.

The people present were not unknown people. After leaving the hall, they heard the sound of horse hooves coming from not far away almost at the same time. Luo Yan's expression changed drastically. She raised her hand and the poison needle in her sleeve turned into a silver beam and stabbed straight at Xu Yuan.

"clang..."

A soft sword fell from the sky and blocked the poisonous needle that was stabbing Xu Yuan. The person was dressed in black, and the token on her waist swayed slightly with her movements. Two people in black robes also appeared behind Luo Yan and the others.

Seeing that the attack missed, Luo Yan couldn't help but feel anxious. She didn't expect Jiuyou's support to come so quickly. Thinking of her employer's promise that they would intercept Jiuyou's support and let them go ahead and kill Xu Yuan, Luo Yan couldn't help but secretly curse him as a waste. Now that the opponent's support has arrived and Tu Laoliu has suffered internal injuries, Luo Yan has to pin her hopes on Lord Wuchang. As long as the opponent takes action...

"Walk."

"Lord Wuchang?" Luo Yan and others looked at Wuchang in disbelief.

Wu Chang had a blank expression on his face, and glanced at them calmly: "The support has arrived, the contract is invalid, and it has nothing to do with me.

Luo Huan's eyes moved slightly, he quickly understood what Lord Wuchang meant. The employer had promised to intercept Jiuyou's support, and the killers of Yanluo Tower only needed to hunt down Xu Yuan and retrieve the evidence. However, for the sake of safety, the employer asked the owner of the building to send more killers, so he and his younger sister would hunt down Xu Yuan with Tu Laoliu. Now the other party did not block Jiuyou's support, so even if their mission failed, no one could blame them.

As for Lord Wuchang himself, he had nothing to do with this mission. They just happened to meet Lord Wuchang on the road, and he just asked politely about traveling together. Unexpectedly, Lord Wuchang agreed directly. This made Luo Huan inexplicably think of the rumor that Lord Wuchang was a road idiot.

However, Lord Wuchang had just said that it had nothing to do with him, which also showed that Lord Wuchang would not take action. Thinking of this, Luo Huan gave his younger sister and Tu Laoliu a look, and the two quickly understood what Luo Huan meant. With a loud bang, thick smoke enveloped them almost instantly. When the thick smoke dissipated, Tu Laoliu and Luo Yan had already disappeared.

However, the departure of these three people did not let the people present relax their vigilance. After all, the Wuchang of Yanluo Tower was still standing in the courtyard, but for some reason he had not made any move.

Yanluo Tower is a newly emerged killer organization. Jiuyou does not have much information about it. He only knows that in addition to the owner of the tower, there is also a judge and two impermanences in the tower. As for Tu Laoliu and Luo Yan and his sister, even if they are highly skilled in martial arts, they are just ordinary members in the tower. Thinking of the way a few people just addressed the man in black robe, the Jiuyou members present dared not relax, but also could not attack rashly.

Wu Chang seemed to be unaware of how much pressure he had brought to the people present by standing in the courtyard. He did not even glance at Xu Yuan, who was closely guarded behind him. Instead, he shifted his gaze to Shen Yuqing, who was leaning against the door and watching the show with melon seeds in her hand: "Boss, I want to stay in the hotel."

This simple sentence made everyone present confused. Only Shen Yuqing showed a standard smile: "Please come in, guest."

"Shopkeeper Shen!" Xu Yuan couldn't help feeling anxious as he watched Shen Yuqing walking towards Wuchang.

Looking at Xu Yuan who was at a loss standing in front of her, Shen Yuqing put the melon seeds in his hand and patted Xu Yuan on the shoulder.

"As an inn, we can't turn away guests." Shen Yuqing raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Wuchang with a half-smile: "Guest, please come in!"

Wuchang walked into the inn without any pressure. Shen Yuqing also stood beside him bravely and talked to him from time to time.

The ignored Jiuyou stood outside the courtyard, seemingly still unsure of why things had turned out this way.

Xu Yuan, with a hand full of melon seeds, saw the two people in the lobby and was about to rush in stupidly, but the next second someone grabbed his ear.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, sister, sister, let go." Xu Yuan's face was wrinkled, and his originally handsome face now looked even more silly.

Seeing her brother's silly look, Xu Luo let go of her hand. At the same time, she noticed Xu Yuan's pale face, which made her look serious: "Are you injured?"

Hearing Xu Luo's questioning tone, Xu Yuan looked away and said vaguely, "It's okay, nothing."

Xu Luo sighed and said in a slow voice, "I'm worried about you."

Xu Yuan, who originally thought it was nothing, suddenly felt a lump in his throat. He lowered his head and said, "If it weren't for Manager Shen's rescue, I would have died on that rainy night."

After hearing this, Xu Luo couldn't help but grab Xu Yuan's ears again, and she didn't let go until he cried out in pain.

Xu Luo, who is also a member of Jiuyou, understands the responsibilities on her shoulders. However, whenever she thinks about how her younger brother almost lost his life less than a year after entering Jiuyou, she feels mixed emotions.

Xu Luo was worried about the inn's owner and the unpredictable Yanluo Tower. However, at least for now, the two of them had no ill intentions towards them. Looking at Xu Yuan who was still peeking into the inn lobby, Xu Luo felt inexplicably tired. She sighed and said, "Tell me in detail what happened in the past few days."
