Stars fall and locust trees grow

"Isn't it just that I owe you 800 spirit stones?"

Wei Li: "It's eight hundred and fifteen spirit stones."

Li Chi started to act like a rogue.

"Look at my body. My shoulders can't carry anything, my hands can't lift anything, I'm as weak as a little chicken, and maybe I have some problems. If you don't give me food, and I starve to death, who will return your spirit stones?"

Wei Li raised his eyebrows. "Now that you put it, it seems to make sense?"

"Of course! We have known each other for such a long time, I will definitely not cheat you."

"We've only known each other for two days."

"That's not important! What's important is, what delicious food did you bring?"

"Sweet and sour spare ribs and mountain mushroom soup."

After hearing this, Li Chi's mouth started to water, but he still did not forget to bargain.

"Friendship price. I'll give you at most thirty spirit stones."

Wei Li: “Hehe…”

Now that the food problem was solved, Li Chi was naturally in a good mood, and then he began to pay attention to his own image.

He glanced at the group of Mingyuejian disciples walking in front of him. All of them had tall and straight postures and were elegant and graceful. Even the hot-tempered Gu Huaiyi looked like a decent human being. They were indeed worthy of being brought up in a first-level sect.

Look at him and Wei Li again, one is dressed in rags with his thighs exposed, and the other is covered in shit-yellow and looks like a gourd. They are no different from two local dogs.

Li Chi thought to himself: This set of clothes should be a bit old, although it can still be worn, but he doesn't know how to sew, and it's not very elegant to expose his thighs like this. Now that it has been torn by the ball of fur, it shouldn't be too much to ask its owner to compensate him with a new set of clothes.

Thinking of this, Li Chi simply left Wei Li behind, walked through the crowd, pushed Gu Huaiyi aside, and squeezed next to the "little master".

Before he could speak, he heard Gu Huaiyi shouting angrily: "What are you going to do!"

Li Chi twisted his body. "We adults are talking, kids, go play in the mud over there!"

Gu Huaiyi said: "Who are you calling a child?"

"Whoever answers will be the one to be criticized!"

"you you you……"

Gu Huaiyi was so angry that he stuttered. Just as he was about to lose control, the voice of his most respected and admired little master suddenly rang in his ears.

"Huai Yi, go to Mu Han first."

Gu Huaiyi pouted and walked away, looking reluctant.

However, compared to his unhappiness, Maoqiu was very happy. Not only did he wag his tail excitedly, but he also kept humming.

Li Chi rubbed the fur ball's head and grinned at its owner.

"Hey! That... little master... respected!"

"Guchuanlin."

"what?"

Furukawa Lin had no expression on his face. "My name."

“Ah! Gu…Brother Gu!”

Furukawa Lin...

This name sounds pretty good!

Eh? That Gu Huaiyi's last name is also Gu, so they are not cousins. Li Chi suddenly remembered a folk story he had read with his friends when he was in Juyun Sect. It was about a forbidden love story between a pair of cousins, so he couldn't help but put these two people into the roles of the story in his mind.

It's so bloody and exciting!

Li Chi laughed secretly in his heart: If the favored son of a first-class sect is really a homosexual, then wouldn't their ancestor Mingyuejian be so angry that he would crawl out of his coffin?

Hey!

Gu Chuanlin, who was standing opposite Li Chi, saw that he had a subtle and unserious look on his face, so he spoke directly to interrupt his daydreaming.

"Don't you have something to say?"

Li Chi was daydreaming when he was suddenly interrupted by Gu Chuan Lin. Before he could react, he leaned close to his ear and told him all his fantasies.

"Brother Gu, do you like men?"

"Ok?"

Gu Chuanlin's expression remained unchanged and his tone was flat, but Li Chi still smelled a hint of danger. So he snatched the ball of fur from the other person's arms and stuffed it into his clothes. After leaving only a sentence "Lend me the ball of fur to play with for a while", he fled for his life.

In response to this, Maoqiu seemed extremely excited. He first sniffed inside Li Chi's clothes for a while, and then found a comfortable position to sleep, with only his furry little head exposed.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the group finally arrived at the inn where Mingyuejian lived - Yuhelou.

Yuhelou is located in the center of Shuozhou City. It is a five-story wooden building. The first floor is a hall for diners to eat, and the second to fifth floors are guest rooms for accommodation.

Because most of the Xuanmen disciples living here have already practiced fasting, there are not many diners on the first floor. There is only an inn waiter and two sleepy disciples from the Changsheng Hall who are left behind.

Li Chi and Wei Li followed Zeng Muchan closely, and the group went straight to the fifth floor in a mighty manner.

Because Gu Chuanlin always liked quietness, his room was naturally arranged at the innermost part, and Zeng Muhan and Gu Huaiyi lived next to him.

Zeng Muhan simply tidied up the room, and then he and Gu Huaiyi each found other disciples to live with. For a moment, only Li Chi, Gu Chuanlin and Wei Li were left staring at each other.

At this moment, Li Chi was thinking about sweet and sour spare ribs and mountain mushroom soup.

Seeing that the furry ball in his arms was sleeping soundly, he carefully took it out of his clothes and planned to give it to Guchuan Lin.

Unexpectedly, when Maoqiu saw that he was about to leave, he suddenly got angry, jumped directly to his feet, breathed heavily, bit his other trouser leg, and dragged him towards Guchuanlin's room.

What's going on with this little guy?

Li Chi looked towards Gu Chuanlin.

The other party looked as if it had nothing to do with him.

Li Chi sighed. "Gu Chuanlin! Can't you just take care of it?"

"Maoqiu has his own thoughts and doesn't need me to control him."

You are simply... bullshit!

Furukawa Lindao: "Since Maoqiu can't leave you, then you can stay with me tonight."

Li Chi was shocked and thought that this man was sick, so he refused repeatedly.

"No, no! I have a lot of problems when I sleep! I grind my teeth, snore, fart, sleepwalk, and sometimes even hit people!"

Gu Chuanlin said calmly: "It's okay."

"I...I haven't taken a shower in several days, and my body is covered in mud!"

"That's fine."

Gu Chuanlin waved his hand lightly, and saw a tightly closed door not far away suddenly opened, and then a person fell out from inside.

It was Zeng Muhan, the chief disciple of Mingyuejian, who had been eavesdropping through the crack of the door.

"Little... Little Master..."

"Go get a bucket of hot water and a new set of clothes."

Zeng Muhan responded hurriedly and stumbled away.

Wei Li, who was standing by, showed a sly smile when he saw this. Without saying a word, he took out a food box from his Qiankun bag and put it on the ground. Then he turned quickly and entered the room. He closed the door ruthlessly and also slid the bolt on it.

Bah! Traitor!

Li Chi had no choice but to follow Gu Chuanlin and walked into the room dejectedly.

"That fat guy got a great bargain..."

After eating the sweet and sour spareribs and mushroom soup that Wei Li had left for him, the waiter just happened to bring hot water. Li Chi took a comfortable bath and changed into the new clothes that Zeng Muchan had sent him. He finally felt like a decent person.

After everything was packed up, it was already nearly 15:30. Gu Chuanlin was sitting quietly on the small table in front of the window reading a book, while Maoqiu had already fallen asleep lying in the middle of the bed.

Li Chi was a little embarrassed.

There is only one bed in the room. How are two grown men supposed to sleep?
