Chapter 232 Searching for someone
"Waiter, check out."

After Jiang Xuan had a hearty meal, he called the waiter from Yunchen Inn over.

"Sir, have you finished your meal?" The waiter draped a towel over his shoulder and came to Jiang Xuan with a smile on his face.

Now that he had arrived in Qizhou City, especially at the Yunchen Inn, Jiang Xuan had less trouble being recognized frequently.

Although the waiter was enthusiastic, he obviously did not recognize Jiang Xuanling Honghe's identity.

"I'm done eating." Jiang Xuan put the silver on the table.

The waiter was about to get it when he heard Jiang Xuan's voice again.

"Waiter, let me ask you, is there anything new happening in Qizhou City these days?" Jiang Xuan raised his eyebrows and asked the waiter at the Yunchen Inn.

Hearing Jiang Xuan's question, the shop assistant naturally knew what was going on. He assumed that the man in front of him was also a nosy guy, so he smiled.

"Sir, you're asking the right question. Some time ago, our Qizhou City was sealed off, and then an imperial envoy arrived from the imperial capital..."

"Stop, I know these, change to something else."

The shop assistant was about to start talking when Jiang Xuan stopped him.

"You know, I'll think about it."

The waiter at the Yunchen Inn pondered for a while, but still found nothing. He stood there awkwardly, scratching his head.

"Bill, please!"

At this moment, a table of guests in the distance also shouted for the bill.

"Sir, please look..." The waiter looked at Jiang Xuan helplessly.

Jiang Xuan shook his head and took his hand away from the silver, allowing the waiter to take the silver away.

"Remember to give the change!" Jiang Xuan shouted.

How could the shop assistant not know what Jiang Xuan meant? In this case, he just didn't want to give an extra tip.

However, since the customer's question was not answered, it is not surprising that he did not give a tip.

While waiting for the change, Jiang Xuan drank another cup of tea. He had not thought of Mr. Sha while eating just now, but he did not expect that after drinking this cup of tea after the meal, he actually thought of Mr. Sha.

"Sir, here's your change." The waiter handed some copper coins to Jiang Xuan and waited beside him, ready to clean the table after Jiang Xuan left.

"Waiter, have you seen an old man come to Yunchen Inn to eat fish these days?" Jiang Xuan suddenly asked.

Although he didn't get the tip, the shop assistant naturally didn't dare to neglect the question from the warrior.

"There are quite a few customers in our shop, and there are also quite a few elderly people who come here specifically to eat fish. May I ask which elderly person you are looking for?" asked the waiter.

This is not the waiter being perfunctory, it is indeed the case, otherwise Mr. Sha would not have said that he wanted to go to Yunchen Inn to eat fish when he first met Jiang Xuan.

When Jiang Xuan thought of this, he laughed out loud. Seeing the waiter's expression when he looked at him, he adjusted his mood and imitated Mr. Sha's appearance and some of his habitual movements to the waiter one by one.

The waiter found the warrior's posture interesting and thought about it with a smile on his face. It turned out that he had thought of something.

"Now that you mention it, I do have some impression that such an old man has been to our store." The waiter said not entirely confidently.

"When?" Jiang Xuan asked. "It's hard to say. It's been several days." The shop assistant searched his memory and finally seemed to recall something. "I remember now," he said. "That day was the day after the Five States Martial Arts Show ended."

"Did he say anything?" Jiang Xuan asked.

The waiter shook his head and replied, "That's all I can think of. After that, the old man paid the bill and left."

Seeing that the waiter had told him everything he knew, Jiang Xuan stopped making things difficult for him. He put all the copper coins that the waiter had given him on the table and left Yunchen Inn.

After walking out of Yunchen Inn, Jiang Xuan suddenly felt a little confused. When he first came to Qizhou City, he was also unfamiliar with the place.

But at that time, I had come all the way from Yingzhou, so I was fearless and adapted very well.

Later, after meeting Mr. Sha, Jiang Xuan learned some things from him intentionally or unintentionally, but he did not feel any big difference.

Now, after truly separating from Mr. Sha, Jiang Xuan discovered that Mr. Sha had been of great help to him in their past collaborations.

"Where would Mr. Sha be now? Would he still be in Qizhou?" Jiang Xuan thought to himself.

There are three most important things for Jiang Xuan to do right now. The first one is to go to the Qixi Desert to collect shalan fruits.

The second thing is to look for the boy-faced merchant and the lost ring.

The third thing is to quickly find Sha Lao, fulfill his guard mission as soon as possible, and return to Yingzhou City as soon as possible.

Among these three things, the first and the third do not conflict with each other, because the destination of the mission to protect Sha Lao is also the Qixi Desert.

If you think about it more, maybe the second thing does not conflict with the other two things.

The reason is that Mr. Sha had mentioned before that the merchant with the childlike appearance might have left Qizhou City through the west gate of Qizhou City.

Many people's destination when leaving from the west gate of Qizhou City is the Qixi Desert.

Jiang Xuan boldly guessed that if the Tongyan merchant went in the direction of the Qixi Desert, then he was most likely going to the edge of the Qixi Desert.

They might go to trade for treasures in the desert that are sought after by many warriors and even monks.

However, Jiang Xuan's current knowledge of the treasures in the Qixi Desert is limited to the shalan fruit and sand thorns, and nothing else.

Just a few days ago when he left Yingzhou, Jiang Xuan was still thinking about what his father's purpose was in asking him to go to the Qixi Desert.
Jiang Xuan didn't even know the true use of the shalan fruit, nor did he know how his father would use the shalan fruit after asking him to pick it.

Originally, he didn't care much about these issues, because he always felt that he was still far from the peak of martial arts, and the day when he could break through to the peak of martial arts was almost in sight.

But now, he had successfully become a warrior with peak Heavenly Rank strength during this trip to Qizhou. This made him happy, but also a little overwhelmed.

But he vaguely felt that his father asked him to go to the Qixi Desert in order to prepare for a breakthrough to the peak of martial arts, and even for him and Jiang Xian to become cultivators.

Jiang Xuan could actually understand this from what Old Sha said.

Before the Five States Martial Arts Show, when they were still in Qizhou City, Old Sha believed that in order to enter the Qixi Desert, Jiang Xuan had better have the strength of a peak warrior, or at least a high-level heavenly warrior.

At that time, Jiang Xuan was just a mid-level Heavenly Rank warrior.

After that, before Jiang Xuan decided to participate in the Five States Martial Arts Competition, and before Jiang Xuan and Sha Lao decided to cross Lingsong Lake, Jiang Xuan's strength had reached the advanced level of the Heavenly Rank.
