Adoption brings disaster

This town is very small and not crowded, so it is extremely quiet at night.

This also means that with my hearing ability, I can hear any sound clearly.

Before we even entered the inn, we heard two men and one woman talking to the innkeeper from a distance.

"Three young men, our inn really has no vacancies. I don't know what happened recently, but there are suddenly so many more knights in this town. Not only the guest rooms, but even the woodsheds of several inns are full of people." The shopkeeper explained humbly.

A man was immediately upset when he heard this and cursed, "How can you talk like that? How can you let Junior Sister live in the woodshed? Quickly make room for us two good guest rooms, or I'll tear down this shabby inn and you'll cry."

These chivalrous men were the most tactless in their actions, and the innkeeper was afraid of their power, but there were really no rooms left in the inn, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.

Just as the innkeeper was feeling distressed, he heard another man say, "I've just checked, and there are still two empty upper rooms in your inn. But you insist on saying there are no rooms. Are you worried that we can't afford the rent? Or do you think we are too weak and look down on us?"

The shopkeeper was helpless in accepting such a heavy responsibility, so he quickly pleaded, "Young man, I'm sorry, you guys are so generous. We'd love to do business with you, but these two rooms have already been reserved. Honesty is the key to doing business, and we can't break our promise just for money."

This statement made perfect sense, but the three men didn't agree. Another man said confidently, "Just give it to us. We're a bunch of grown men over there, and they can't just watch a girl sleep on the street."

When I heard this, I wanted to curse. When did the shopkeeper ever say that the other party was a group of macho men? How could they be so self-righteous?

Besides, this woman is the man’s lover or daughter. Why can’t girls be allowed to sleep on the streets? Does that mean everyone in the world is your mother?

I complained silently in my heart but said nothing. It wasn't because I had a good temper, but I thought I couldn't offend people as soon as I entered the world.

After entering the inn, the three of them were still arguing with the innkeeper. The innkeeper had no choice but to shift the blame when he saw us come in, saying, "Those two upper rooms are reserved by them."

When the three heard this, they immediately came over. The one holding the knife on the left said, "Brother, you three can't fit in two upper rooms. Give us one."

"How do you know we can't sleep in two upper rooms?" I looked at him with disdain and said, "Besides, are you blind? There are obviously four of us."

After hearing this, the escort who led the way spat at the three men. Seeing that I didn't say anything, he didn't say much either. Seeing that there was a waiter serving us, he asked the child to take us to the room and not to bother with them.

I was also very annoyed with them, so I followed the child upstairs.

It's not impossible to let them have one room, but I really don't like these three, so I don't want to give them the money.

"We are all people of the world. When we see others in trouble, shouldn't we help them?" They stopped us and said when they saw us about to leave.

I laughed when I heard this kind of low-level moral kidnapping and said, "Who says you are a child of Jianghu? I am the father of Jianghu."

It took the three people in front of us a long time to react to this wave of aggression. They were very annoyed for a moment, and the one holding the knife drew his own knife and fought with us.

I looked at the strange-looking knife and continued to taunt him, "You don't even need a good weapon to travel the world these days. If you don't have the money to buy a good knife, why don't you go work and earn some money instead of embarrassing yourself by coming out here?"

After saying that, without giving the man with the knife a chance to speak, he looked at the woman again and continued, "No wonder she doesn't like you. It's strange that she would like you with this broken knife in your hand."

I don’t know if it was my mocking attitude that made him angry, or because I pointed out the fact that he was a bootlicker, but he acted like he was going to chop me.

I wasn't afraid either. I just took a step back and said with narrowed eyes, "Are you sure you want to fight me? With your mediocre skills, you're no match for me."

After listening to my good advice, he was not only not grateful but became even angrier.

There's no need for me to take action against this kind of small fry. When the escort saw that the man wanted to attack, he didn't waste any time and kicked him out with one kick.

After the man rolled on the ground for a few times and stopped moving, he said with disgust: "If the boss gets into a fight with you bastards, then our Baofu Escort Agency will all die."

When we started fighting, the shopkeeper was the most frightened. He thought about how he had shifted the blame to someone else before, and was afraid that we would blame him. He was a little at a loss for a moment.

I looked at the bewildered shopkeeper and felt sorry for him. I said gently, "Don't be afraid, old man. I will compensate you for everything you broke. I'm not like some people who want to live in a house even though they have no money."

The words were harsh, and the woman in the middle blushed as she listened. She said, "Young man, you misunderstood. We don't mean to live in a house, we just want a place to stay."

"You're out there in the world, but you can't even solve this little problem. You'd better stop embarrassing yourself and go home to your mother." I continued to mock him.

Seeing that I was being ruthless, Liu Shui couldn't bear it and said, "Qianqiu, she is just a girl, why do you have to be like this?"

"Liu Shui, you are a gentleman. I understand that you don't want to embarrass a woman, but I don't know if your gentlemanly ways can embarrass an old man."

Liu Shui was confused by what I said. For a moment, he didn't know what I meant, so he said firmly, "Respecting the elderly and loving the young is a traditional virtue of the Beishang Kingdom. Regardless of whether I am a gentleman or not, I will not embarrass the elderly."

"Then you didn't hear them making things so difficult for the shopkeeper just now."

For today's teachers, educational work is not the main focus, ideological work is the key. Not to mention Liushui who is firmly bound by the gentleman's way, even those students who are unreasonable and unreasonable will have to change their ways after my ideological education.

Liu Shui naturally didn't know how to refute me, but he felt it was wrong, so he said, "Let's squeeze in and give them a room."

Before I could say anything, the escort in front of me immediately got angry and said, "What are you talking about? Our boss is of such high status. This inn has already wronged the boss, so how can we let others stay in one room? If it weren't for the shopkeeper's pleading, we would have rented the whole inn and let these martial arts knights stay in one room."

Liu Shuiqing also had me in his grasp and said softly, "Qianqiu, even if I beg you, please take it."

There was nothing I could do with Liushui, so I had to agree.

But I still looked at the three of them with contempt and said, "The two rooms are next to each other. You three should be quiet at night. Don't let me hear everything and blame me for eavesdropping."

"You." The two men glared at me, looking like they wanted to kill me.

But looking at the equally murderous escort next to him, he didn't dare to act rashly. He could only look at me and whispered to the girl next to him: "I'm different from those people. The upper room is naturally for my junior sister. We can go to the woodshed."

I didn't get angry after hearing this. Instead, I turned around and said in a smug way, "This firewood room is occupied by my guard now. I'm afraid you can't live there anymore. You should find somewhere else to live."

After I finished speaking, I looked at the escort and said, "If anyone dares to break into your house, kill them."

They saw that I didn't look like I was faking it, so the junior sister stammered, "We are all righteous knights. In broad daylight, how dare you kill someone?"

This made me laugh out loud. I looked at them as if they were idiots and asked the escort, "Do you dare to kill someone?"

"The boss's enemies are my enemies. Not to mention killing people, even if they want me to commit suicide, even if I frown, it would be disloyalty to the boss."

I patted the escort on the shoulder and said, "Okay, okay, just do as I say. If they dare to break in, you kill them. I want to see who is so fearless that he dares to come and try this bad luck."

"Qianqiu, where do you want these two young men to stay at this time?" Liushui advised again.

"This isn't a simple matter. Three of us live in one upper room."

After saying that, he ignored everyone and went upstairs under the guidance of the waiter.

After entering the room, the escort gave the waiter a lot of reward.

The waiter was naturally very happy to receive the tip, and his hands and feet became more agile. He fetched hot water for me to wash my feet, and then brought me tea.

I was also happy to see this half-grown child in front of me. I threw him another bag of reward money and asked meaningfully, "Seeing how efficient you are, I think you are quite old. But you look innocent and cute, not like you are old. This makes me curious. Tell me how old you are this year."

The waiter received two tips, which were nothing to me, but a huge sum of money to him, and seemed overly attentive to me.

Seeing that I was asking a question, he smiled brightly, looked at me with shining eyes, and replied, "Your Excellency, I am twelve years old this year."

I motioned to the waiter to wipe my feet dry and said with a smile, "Why call me noble? I'm already a pilgrim, what should I be?"

The waiter made a living in the inn and was very good at reading people's expressions. When he heard me ask this, he didn't know how to answer. He immediately made a clumsy fist salute and replied, "Hero."

I saw the waiter come up and threw another silver leaf into his hair. The waiter smiled and complimented him, "I've seen many people in the martial arts world recently, but only you have the temperament of a great hero."

"What about those three people just now? Aren't they heroes anymore?"

Although my words may have been collusion, the disgust in the waiter's eyes was genuine. He cursed, "How can these three compare to you, hero? They are just three clowns."

The waiter put the shoes on my feet, and I signaled him to leave. At the moment when the waiter closed the door, I asked, "Is the shopkeeper your grandfather?"

"Hero, you have a good eye. We are grandfather and grandson."

After the waiter left, Liu Shui could no longer sit still and stood up and said, "Why are you like this, Qianqiu?"

I laughed and said, "What's wrong with me that makes you so angry?"

"We're all roaming the world, so naturally we should help when we can. That's the spirit of chivalry." Liu Shui's chest was heaving with anger. "But what did you do? Not only were you unwilling to help them, you also verbally abused them and even threatened to use violence. I really misjudged you."

"What was the last question I asked the waiter?" I said. "You can't remember it now, because your heart is filled with rage, how could you possibly notice it?"

"So what?" Liu Shui was still very aggressive, but I was not afraid.

"Didn't you notice that the only people in the inn were the old innkeeper and the waiter?" I said with a hint of sadness. "How could the three of them do that? Bullying an old man and a child, is that what chivalry is?"

"No, this is unchivalrous." Qianxi also disliked these three people.

I ignored Liu Shui's reaction and continued, "These three people knew they were no match for me, yet they still tried to fight me. What's this?"

"This is foolish." Qianxi said.

"Three people were in a group, and one of them got beaten. The other two didn't come out to mediate, didn't stand with him, and didn't comfort him. What's going on?" With every question I asked, Liu Shui's momentum dropped a bit.

“This is meaningless.”

Qianxi answered the question very smoothly. I continued with satisfaction: "They can't even beat an ordinary escort under my command. What's this?"

"This is incompetence." After saying this, the disgust in Qianxi's eyes reached its climax.

"Such unchivalrous, incompetent, and unwise people, what do you think I should do, Liushui?" I demanded. "Should I watch them bully the elderly and children, or should I let them bully me?"

Liu Shui finally discovered the flaw in my words and questioned, "Then why didn't you stand up for them when they bullied the elderly? Instead, you insulted them when they asked for a room."

I closed my eyes in pain and said in a sad tone, "If these three people are narrow-minded, I stood up for them when they were making things difficult for the old man. What if they retaliate against him after we leave?"

My words made Liu Shui doubt himself, and for a moment he was speechless and confused. Seeing this, I softened and said, "We travel the Jianghu to do chivalrous things. The actions of these three people have nothing to do with chivalry. Besides, they are arrogant and foolish, and there's no telling how much scandal they will cause. I'm not concerned about my reputation, and you're definitely not one to seek fame, but shouldn't we consider the Crown Prince and Prince Yong who are far away in the capital?"

This prince is Liushui's Achilles' heel. After hearing this, Liushui said no more. He just washed up and went to bed quietly. Qianxi and I exchanged glances, expressing that we were both very satisfied, and then we went to bed too.

Nothing happened that night. Early the next morning, the escort agency's men arrived. The escort from the inn left a message and also went to encircle and suppress the pirates. However, all this has nothing to do with me, so I won't mention it.

Now that I have entered the world of martial arts, I can no longer rely on the reputation of the escort agency. I have to make a name for myself with my own abilities.

Predict what will happen in the future, and listen to the next decomposition.
