The shopkeeper handed over two keys. Ning Ji took them, gave one to her, and asked, "Are you hungry?"

After traveling for most of the day, she was really hungry.

She nodded. There was a noodle shop across from the inn. It was doing good business and the food should be good. "How about we have noodles?"

"can."

As the two of them walked out of the inn, they saw Chen Jing walking towards them hurriedly, with a warm smile on his face, "I didn't expect Senior Brother Ning and cousin to arrive so soon."

"Yeah." Ning Ji was a little surprised that he came so quickly.

Si He also looked at him with some confusion. How come he was so well-informed that he knew about it as soon as he entered the city?

Chen Jing, who had been keeping an eye on Si He, became nervous when he saw her looking at him. He had no choice but to distract himself and talk to Ning Ji: "Senior Brother Ning, are you staying at this inn?"

He just saw them coming out of this inn.

Ning Ji nodded in agreement. At this moment, several of his fellow disciples who had come out with Chen Jing came over. Chen Jing said, "You must be hungry after such a long journey. Let's go get something to eat together."

As soon as he finished speaking, a younger apprentice sister at the back suddenly said, "Brother Chen, why are we eating with this ugly freak?"

Before, when Chen Jing said that he wanted to find Ning Ji to go to Shitou Village together, they had some complaints. Now they wanted to have dinner together, Xie Ying immediately became unhappy.

She said this without mercy, and Si He's face turned cold. Who would want to eat with them?

"Cousin, let's go."

Si He pulled Ning Ji's sleeve. When she left the city, she realized that these people disliked Ning Ji. It was useless to argue with him. Besides, the other side had more people and more power. She didn't want to embarrass Ning Ji.

Ning Ji responded and walked with her to the noodle shop nearby, ignoring them.

"Senior Brother Ning..." Chen Jing was about to chase after him, but was stopped by Xie Ying.

"Brother Chen, why do you care what they do! He..."

Before Xie Ying could finish her words, Chen Jing broke away and said unhappily, "Junior Sister Xie, please be careful with your words. Judging people by appearance is not what a gentleman does. If you mind, then you don't have to follow me."

After Chen Jing finished speaking, he turned around and chased into the noodle shop.

Xie Ying was so angry that she was about to cry, and the senior brothers and sisters beside her couldn't help but comfort her.

There were no empty seats on the first floor of the noodle shop, so the waiter led Ning Ji and Si He to the second floor. There were many empty seats on the second floor and it was much quieter. After they sat down, Chen Jing followed.

"Brother Ning, I'm sorry. I'm young and naive. Please don't take it to heart."

After Ning Ji handed the menu to Si He, he said to him, "Junior Brother Chen, let's go our separate ways on our trip to Stone Village."

He is no longer a disciple of Taiyi Sect and does not want to have anything to do with them anymore.

"Senior Brother Ning..."

Chen Jing wanted to continue to ease the situation and persuade Ning Ji to go with him, but Si He interrupted him and asked Ning Ji: "Cousin, what kind of noodles do you want? We have beef noodles, egg noodles, and mixed vegetable noodles."

Her voice is like a clear silver bell, so pleasant to the ears that it makes people subconsciously want to listen to her carefully.

Chen Jing stopped talking immediately and looked at Si He, but she looked at Ning Ji with questioning eyes, not at him.

Ning Ji replied, "Beef noodles, please."

"Then I want beef noodles too."

She closed the menu and asked the waiter for two bowls of beef noodles.

Chen Jing was not angry when he saw that he was being ignored. He sat down shamelessly and ordered a bowl of beef noodles from the waiter.

Ning Ji looked at Chen Jing like this and didn't care that he stayed for dinner. He was just a little surprised by his behavior. He had never seen him so active in easing the conflicts between his senior brothers and junior sisters before.

At this time, another waiter came over with a pot of tea and placed it on the table. "Dear guests, please have some tea first. The noodles will be served shortly."

Ning Ji nodded, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for each of them.

"Thank you, cousin."

After Si He thanked him, she took off the cloth wrapped around her head, folded it, and put it aside.

After she took off the cloth, Chen Jing was still amazed, even though they had met yesterday.

Si He didn't see him, she just picked up the teacup and drank tea. She sipped it slowly and carefully, her manners were elegant and pleasing to the eye.

Chen Jing, who was standing by, couldn't help but stare in amazement.

Ning Ji frowned slightly when he saw Chen Jing's out-of-control look.

At this time, another group of guests came up from downstairs. They were Chen Jing’s fellow disciples.

As soon as they came up, they walked towards Chen Jing with a clear goal.

"Senior Brother Chen..." A junior fellow who was walking in front was about to talk to Chen Jing to ease the relationship between him and Junior Sister Xie, but he was caught off guard by a beautiful face. Although she had no makeup on her face and was wearing a coarse blue cloth, she was still breathtakingly beautiful.

The few people who followed him saw him acting silly, followed his gaze, and were also amazed by Si He's beauty and were a little stunned.

Seeing his fellow disciples losing their composure like this, Chen Jing secretly thought they were useless, but he forgot that he had also lost his composure just now.

"What are you all standing here for?"

Chen Jing's cold shout brought them back to their senses and made them restrain their expressions and gazes.

"Brother Chen, we're here to eat something too."

Junior brother Liu Pin stepped forward to answer, then took a few junior brothers and sisters to sit at a table nearby.

In this case, Chen Jing didn't know what to say.

Xie Ying, who followed over, looked at Chen Jing, wanting to say something but stopping herself. After some hesitation, she sat down obediently, but her eyes were fixed on Chen Jing's table.

At this time, Xie Ying roughly knew why Chen Jing wanted to follow Ning Ji. It was most likely because of that seductive woman!

Thinking of this, Xie Ying's eyes became even colder.

Si He noticed the cold gaze and turned around to look. She met Xie Ying's eyes full of hatred. She couldn't help but feel a little surprised. It seemed that she didn't offend this girl?

When Si He turned her head, the people at the next table could immediately see her entire face and were all stunned again with astonishment.

Si He had no choice but to turn her head back and drink her tea silently.

At this time, the waiter came over with a few bowls of noodles, which broke the weird atmosphere.

Looking at the fragrant noodles, Si He felt her appetite grow.

"Eat." Ning Ji handed her the chopsticks.

"Thank you, cousin."

Si He said a polite word to him and started eating. She was really hungry.

Seeing her eating happily, Ning Ji and Chen Jing also picked up their chopsticks and were speechless for a moment.

The people at the next table had no choice but to order a few bowls of noodles. It was quiet and the atmosphere was a bit weird, but the diners at the tables behind were chatting animatedly.

"I heard that another immortal master went to that Stone Village today?"

"That's the one who is said to be the immortal master of the Tianquan Sect, a famous immortal sect in Lingcheng. He has great magical powers and will definitely be able to get rid of that evil spirit."

"Hehe... We'll know in a couple of days whether it can be eliminated. Many powerful immortal masters have gone there before, but the results don't seem to be very good."

"Hmph~ Can those small sects compare with the Tianquan Sect?"

"By the way, what exactly is that evil spirit in Stone Village? The entire village is possessed by it? I heard that the entire Stone Village is now sealed off."

"Why did I hear it was a monster that sucked human blood?"

"Hmph~ Some people say it's a century-old corpse in the mountains, but most of the rumors outside are just nonsense."

"Alas... This Stone Village is unlucky. I've heard strange things happen all the time, and now it's facing the danger of being wiped out."

"Hmm? Is that someone from Taiyi Sect?"

As those people were chatting, they noticed the table of Taiyi Sect disciples sitting in the distance.
