Before fleeing famine, marry a playboy!

The girl had a broad forehead, clear eyebrows and eyes, and her appearance was not gorgeous. From the inside out, she gave people a beauty that became more beautiful the more you looked at her. Yun Zhuo had learned the art of physiognomy from his master, and always felt that this face did not match her soul.

Yun Zhuo didn't think much about it, he just thought that his skills were not good enough.

The waiter at the teahouse was pouring tea. He accidentally looked up and saw Li Yuening lifting the veil. He froze and let the tea spill down the table and onto the floor. The teahouse owner slapped him on the head and scolded him, "If you can't even do this little thing, what use are you?"

The waiter nodded and bowed to apologize. After the shopkeeper left, the waiter touched the back of his head which felt a little painful, and muttered: "It's not my fault. It's just that the lady was too beautiful."

Li Yuening thanked him quietly and then took the chopsticks handed to her by Xie Shi. First, she thanked him for being thoughtful and knowing that she was a vegetarian during the mourning period. Second, she thanked him for his thoughtful care along the way.

When Xie Shi wasn't smiling, the corners of his eyes were raised as if he was laughing, giving him an air of authority and intimidation. But when he really smiled, he was extremely beautiful and captivating. Li Yuening was close to him, so the visual impact was most obvious.

When she was closer, Li Yuening discovered that Xie Shi's eyes were black with a hint of blue. This was hereditary, and one of his parents must have blue eyes. According to her memory, there was no such person in the Xie family, so it could only be Xie Shi's biological mother who had blue eyes.

The people of Dajin had black hair and black eyes, and only Loulan had people with blue eyes. Li Yuening understood why Xie Shi was not favored, because he was not only a bastard but also had foreign blood.

After dinner, Li Yuening and her group continued on their journey. They had to find an inn before dark, otherwise they would have to sleep in the wild.

Xiaosui'er and Yunzhuo sat side by side on the shaft of the carriage. She didn't dare to get into the carriage because it was too comfortable inside and it was easy to fall asleep. She didn't want to leave a bad impression on her mistress, otherwise her mistress would no longer need her if she got a new maid.

"Madam Xiaosui, please sit tight." Yun Zhuo reminded her worriedly.

Xiaosui smiled shyly, nodded, and grabbed the handle next to her.

Since there was no outsider in the carriage, Li Yuening simply entered the space. The things she had collected before were neatly placed in one place. Li Yuening stood in front of the bookshelf and picked up a book at random. She sat at the table and read it. The obscure text made her read very slowly because of her knowledge and understanding. As time went by, Li Yuening's hands gradually turned the pages faster.

Outside the space, a group of people rode their horses at full speed. The dust raised by the horses' hooves flew up and down on the official road, then fell back to calm. They hurried until it was dark and saw the lights of the inn. The carriage stopped in front of the inn, and the waiter directed Qingyi and others to drive the horses to the stable.

Xie Shi knocked on the door of the carriage and said softly, "Madam Li, we have arrived at the inn."

After a while, Xiao Sui'er helped Li Yuening, who was wearing a veil, out. The nights in ancient times were really dark, and the lanterns at the door of the inn could not illuminate the ground. Xie Shi clenched his fist and stretched out his arm for Li Yuening to support him.

"Thank you, my dear." Li Yuening felt a little tired, and her voice was soft. She had been reading in the space in the afternoon and had forgotten the time. When she came out, it was almost dark, and her head was swollen and uncomfortable.

Xie Shi thought she was tired from sitting in the carriage for so long, so he took Li Yuening to the inn and comforted her, "Madam, you may not be used to going on a long journey for the first time. You should have dinner later and rest early."

There was really nothing else to say. He had tried to make the carriage as comfortable as possible.

Li Yuening responded in a low voice.

"My dear, there are no upper rooms in the inn, only one large connecting room. How do you think we can arrange it?" Feiyi ran to Xie Shi and whispered.

Xie Shi was stunned when he heard this. What a coincidence?

"Talk to the shopkeeper about changing to two upper rooms or a single room."

"Qing Yi is asking. I've seen many people from the martial arts world living in this inn. I'm afraid the innkeeper doesn't want to stand out."

Xie Shi frowned. The last time he passed by here, it was very deserted. How long has it been since it became so difficult to find a room?

When Li Yuening heard them talking about the room, she wanted to say that she could sleep in the carriage, but she was afraid that it would be a bit abrupt, so she didn't say anything.

When you enter the yard, you can hear the noisy atmosphere in the lobby, with people toasting, playing finger-guessing games, and occasionally even scolding and beating.

As the four of them entered, the room was quiet for a moment before becoming noisy again. Yun Zhuo waved at them from the corner.

Xie Shi led Li Yuening over, and heard Yun Zhuo say embarrassedly: "I didn't expect this inn to have such good business. I'm afraid we will have to sleep in the wild tonight."

He often slept outdoors during his training, unlike Xie Shi who looked pampered. But now they only had a large common room, and it would not be good to let Madam Li share the bed with them.

"We are not familiar with this place. It is dangerous to stay in the wild rashly. Brother Yun, have you ordered food? Let's eat first and then think of other ways."

"I just ordered a few side dishes. Do you have any dietary restrictions?"

Xie Shi looked at Li Yuening, who shook her head.

Seeing that no one was averse to food, Xie Shi looked back at Yun Zhuo and asked, "Brother Yun, there are so many people from the martial arts world gathered here. Do you know if something big has happened in the martial arts world?"

"I haven't heard of it, but I just passed by that table and vaguely heard that they were going to Nanshan. The Huashan Sword Contest, which takes place every three years, has not yet ended. I don't know what kind of event has attracted so many people from the martial arts world."

After a pause, Yun Zhuo leaned forward slightly and whispered, "I also saw people from Tingfeng Villa and Cangjian Villa."

Although Xie Shi had never been in the martial arts world, he had heard of Yu Wanwan, who was ranked eighth from Tingfeng Villa, and Wei Wuchen, who was ranked sixth from Cangjian Villa, as ranked by Jianghu Know-All.

It even attracted two sects with high status in the martial arts world, which is a big deal.

They are too weak to get involved. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Xie Shi lowered his voice and said, "The situation is unclear, so we should avoid it. What do you two think?"

Feng Qian had no objection as long as there was no fighting and no casualties. Otherwise, he could not just stand by and watch someone die, as medicine for wounds was very precious.

Yun Zhuo was not a warlike person, so he agreed immediately.

A few people agreed to spend the night in the open space outside the inn after dinner, but they heard a loud voice, "Hey, isn't this Brother Yun, Young Hero Yunzhuo from Yunwu Mountain?"

Several people looked in the direction of the voice and saw a fat young man with a long sword on his waist and a jade crown on his head. Behind him were 5.6 or people in uniform clothes, led by the fat young man.

"It turns out to be Brother Yuwen. I didn't expect to meet you here." Yun Zhuo stood up and wanted to lead them to the side.

Yuwen Kan walked straight to Yun Zhuo's seat and sat down, his eyes fixed on Xie Shi, but he said to Yun Zhuo, "Brother Yun, it's been a long time since we last met. May I introduce you to your...friend?"

Yun Zhuo sighed, this young man from the Yuwen family was really spoiled and had no manners.

"I don't want to know you." Xie Shi had long been annoyed by Yuwen Kan's wanton gaze, and he said with a half-smile upon hearing the words.

A man behind Yuwen Kan immediately drew his sword and pointed it at Xie Shi, "You are such an ignorant person. It is an honor for you that my husband wants to meet you, so just tell me your name."

"Young Master Yuwen!" Yun Zhuo's tone also turned cold and he stopped calling him Brother Yuwen.

"Are you blind? I want to meet someone, why are you pointing a sword at me? Get out."

The man holding the sword withdrew his hand awkwardly and retreated to the back with a pale face.

Yuwen Kan smiled at Xie Shi embarrassedly and said, "I am a servant who does not know etiquette. I hope you can forgive me."

Without waiting for Xie Shi to respond, Yuwen Kan waved his hand and said, "I just saw from upstairs that you guys came late. I guess you haven't found a satisfactory room yet. I am willing to vacate three upper rooms for you to use as an apology."

"What do you think, my lord?"

Xie Shi paused while turning the teacup. There was such a good thing. He looked at Yun Zhuo, as if asking: What's going on with this guy?
