Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

When wandering the world, don't judge people by their appearance, for how much truth can you find in their hearts? When wandering the world, don't get involved in romantic relationships, for how many who do return safely?

These were Ning Menghuan's words to Shen Yichen, but in reality, they were also what Shen Yichen himself had come to understand.

This is perhaps the fundamental reason why Shen Yichen lowered his guard when he met Ning Menghuan; the two of them are truly kindred spirits.

It's a pity that Yixuan really doesn't understand at all.

Luan Kong Ferry is the last ferry crossing on the Biyuan River. Beyond that, it's all canyons and reefs. However, there aren't many boats at this crossing because it's only suitable for small boats.

Ning Menghuan treated Shen Yichen and his companion to a meal featuring Yanquan specialties:

面！

All kinds of noodles.

The shop isn't big, but it's incredibly popular!

The three of them finally managed to get a table in a corner, and Ning Menghuan ordered three bowls of noodles for herself: beef tendon noodles, oil-splashed noodles, and flag flower noodles.

Shen Yichen and Yixuan thought they would get a share too, and the waiter thought so too, so he left.

"Aren't you two going to eat? Don't let the small size and shabby appearance of this shop fool you, I'm telling you, even the ancient city of Luowu doesn't have noodles this delicious!"

Shen Yichen and Yixuan were slightly taken aback and exchanged a glance!

"Sister Huan, didn't you order three bowls of noodles?"

"Yes, that's what I ate myself. I haven't been to Yanquan in a long time, so I had to eat my fill, eat well, and eat to my heart's content, right?"

Yixuan hurriedly shouted:

"Waiter, bring me one serving of each kind of noodle!"

The waiter quickly ran over, looking troubled.

"Sir, are you... are you sure?"

Yi Xuan was really annoyed. Last night, the leader of Bei Meng Gui Shou humiliated him, and now even the waiter was questioning him!

"What, you think I won't pay? Yichen, pay up!"

Shen Yichen was embarrassed!

"Yi Xuan, I... I really have no money left!"

Yi Xuan clenched his fists and stared at Shen Yichen for a long while.

Shen Yichen had no choice but to turn his gaze to Ning Menghuan.

Ning Menghuan smiled slightly!

"I can pay for it, but you two have to finish your meal!"

Shen Yichen and Yixuan responded in unison:

"Sister Huan, no problem!"

Ning Menghuan paid first without saying anything, but kept watching Shen Yichen and his companion laugh, and those smiles made Shen Yichen and his companion feel uneasy.

Shen Yichen and Yixuan exchanged a glance, sensing something was amiss.

If someone pays, then of course we can eat noodles!

Shen Yichen and Yixuan started eating with great relish, praising the deliciousness of Yanquan noodles as they ate. The three of them were soon drenched in sweat, enjoying the spicy and sour flavor!

But after Shen Yichen and Yixuan each ate more than a dozen bowls of noodles, they were dumbfounded, because all kinds of noodles were still on the table, and there really wasn't a single one.

Ning Menghuan was too full to eat anymore, but Shen Yichen and Yixuan could still keep going; these two were true foodies.

"Huan, Sister Huan, how many kinds of noodles are there in total?"

Shen Yichen burped, realizing he really couldn't eat anymore.

Yixuan stared in disbelief at the noodles still being served.

"One hundred and eight kinds? You two are far from it. Keep going!"

Shen Yichen and Yixuan shook their heads at the same time.

"Sister Huan, consider this money a loan. I'm really desperate; my nose is smelling sour and spicy!"

Yi Xuan gave in; the first meal upon entering Luowu Ancient City was enough to subdue him.

"It's okay, as long as I'm full, well-fed, and satisfied, it's delicious!"

Ning Menghuan ate another bowl, licked her lips, and looked at Yi Xuan and Shen Yichen in a daze as she closed her eyes and enjoyed herself.

Shen Yichen and his two companions left the noodle shop with burps.

"Hey handsome young men, how are the noodles? My sister and I made them ourselves, and mine are salty!"

"Mine is spicy!"

Shen Yichen and Yixuan were startled by the words, their unease finally becoming a reality, and they turned to look in the direction of the voice.

"evil……"

On the banks of the Biyuan River, Shen Yichen, Yixuan, and Ning Menghuan were vomiting uncontrollably. The more they had enjoyed their meal, the more they were vomiting, their tears and snot flowing uncontrollably.

None of the three dared to recall what they had just witnessed.

The two little girls' snot was as long as the noodles, and the crucial point is that the snot and noodles went into the noodle pot together.

Shen Yichen and the other two slumped down on the banks of the Biyuan River.

"Shen Yichen, you, you're not allowed to eat with me anymore!"

Yixuan was depressed; all the lofty ambitions he had last night had vanished without a trace.

"Who the hell did I offend? Who are those two girls? They've followed me from south to north!"

"That movement technique is not simple, Brother Chen. This Yanquan Jianghu is not like Jianying. You must keep a low profile. There are people here who may fear the Ji family, but there are even more who do not!"

After Ning Menghuan finished speaking, she went to vomit again. She threw up all the wine she had drunk last night. The smell of alcohol, spiciness, sourness, and sweetness made Ning Menghuan feel really disgusted!

"Those two girls might be from Miaokong Hall. I forgot, I should have asked Qin Ming!"

"I don't care who you offended, you're not allowed to eat with me anymore. I've never seen anyone treat someone like this!"

Yi Xuan stood up, looked at the Biyuan River, thought for a long time, and finally only let out a soft sigh:

"Sigh, I don't even know how to get revenge, what kind of situation is this!"

"evil……"

Shen Yichen and Yixuan started vomiting again. The thought of eating such a long snotty thing was disgusting!

Shen Yichen and his two companions floated away on a luxurious carriage and left the Chaotic Sky Ferry. Neither the driver nor the people inside the carriage said anything, which was normal in Yanquan.

Ordinary people have great respect for those in the martial arts world, but they also maintain a harmonious relationship with them.

To Shen Yichen and the other two's surprise, not long after the carriage left the Chaotic Sky Crossing, another person floated down onto the carriage, and the four of them sat in one corner each.

It was a Taoist priest, wearing a tattered Taoist robe, holding a gourd in his left hand, which was probably filled with wine. Shen Yichen and the other two could smell the wine, and it was the smell of Zuimeng Shao!

He held a whisk in his right hand, but it was bare, just a stick.

What's most impressive is the smell on them!

Upon smelling the odor, Shen Yichen and the other two leaped off the carriage and ran to the Biyuan River to continue vomiting until their mouths were full of bitter water and they could vomit nothing more.

"Are you two sent by heaven to torment me? I traveled smoothly and safely from Yingzhou to Yanquan, but I'm so unlucky to have met you two!"

Shen Yichen leaned against a tree on the bank; he was so nauseous he was almost completely exhausted.

"Sister Huan, I've thrown up countless times since I joined Yanquan. The path of life in Yanquan is tough, and the food is just as terrible!"

Yi Xuan was clearly thinking more than Shen Yichen.

"Sister Huan, do you know that Taoist priest from earlier?"

"Hey, you two stay away from him, and whatever you do, don't mess with him. He's a really unreasonable guy!"

Shen Yichen was taken aback upon hearing this. He looked at Ning Menghuan and Yixuan and sighed softly:

"I guess I'm really not suited for the martial arts world. When I saw that person, I didn't think about who he was. The first thing I thought about was where he bought his Drunken Dream Tea!"

"You're such a show-off, a complete show-off! You don't even know who you've offended, making us both suffer because of you!"

Yi Xuan rolled his eyes at Shen Yichen. He was truly innocent; he was just a fish caught in the crossfire when the city gate caught fire.

"Sister Huan, who is that person? Which sect does he belong to?"

"I don't know. People call him 'unstable in his Dao,' and the reason he beats people up is simple: his Dao heart is unstable! He's very strong in cultivation, but his brain isn't as sharp as he is!"

The person Ning Menghuan was pointing at was, of course, Shen Yichen!

"Haha... Yichen, see? I'm not the only one who thinks you're not smart enough!"

Yixuan laughed so hard he couldn't straighten up.

"Is it that funny? I just don't want to use my brain!"

"To use your brain, you first need to have a brain. Brother Chen, are you sure you really have a brain?"

After Ning Menghuan finished speaking, she walked forward.

Shen Yichen shrugged, scratched his head, and muttered to himself:

"Isn't this a brain?"

Yixuan said in a strange tone:

"What I'm thinking about is where he bought that Drunken Dream Wine! Bah, Yichen, your brain is barely better than a wine jug. If you keep going like this, you'll become a chamber pot. We're entering Yanquan now. Huan-jie is right. This place is not like Jianying. Drain the water from your brain, patch up the leaks, so you don't become someone's chamber pot!"

Yi Xuan caught up with Ning Menghuan.

Shen Yichen stood there bewildered in the wind!

"you……"

A moment later, Shen Yichen turned to look at the Biyuan River and sighed softly:

"Why did he come to Yanquan too?"

Shen Yichen guessed who was inside the carriage. Although he couldn't see the person, he was certain he was right.

Shen Yichen looked down at his wrist, wondering if Yi Xuanfa hadn't noticed anything unusual about him, or rather, if Tian Xianglongfa hadn't noticed anything unusual about his body!
