The group left the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts and arrived at Fengqiao Town, a hundred miles away.

There is a Chunfeng Inn in the small town, but it is deserted today.

It was noon and business was slow. The shopkeeper simply dozed off on the abacus and the waiter lay on the bench and snored.

The entire inn seemed to be unattended. Even when Gai Nielubei and his group entered the house, no one greeted them.

Lu Bei sighed inwardly that this inn lacked a decent waiter.

Gai Nie took a step forward and coughed lightly, trying to wake the two dozing people.

But I didn't expect that the two of them were still sleeping so soundly.

There was really no other way, so Lu Bei shouted at the top of his lungs, "Book the whole place!"

"Who, who wants to book the whole place?" The two people woke up at the same time.

"A big business?" The shopkeeper sat up instantly, his eyes shining and his face full of calculation.

The two looked towards the door.

I found that the men who came in were all very handsome and the women were very pretty. Some of them were holding swords and sabers, and some were carrying sledgehammers. At first glance, they were all wealthy heroes in the martial arts world.

"Oh, a distinguished guest is here!" The waiter immediately ran up to greet him flatteringly.

When Lu Bei saw this man’s appearance, he instantly thought of his own work situation a few months ago.

He looked at Jiang Nan with a tacit understanding, and Jiang Nan was also looking at him and smiling.

Lu Bei blinked, and Jiang Nan turned her head away blushing.

Gai Nie coughed and said cautiously, "Waiter, how much does it cost to book the whole place?"

"Ah?" The waiter was also stunned.

Normally, people who book a whole place would be generous and throw the money on the table lavishly. This is the first time I've seen anyone ask for the price.

Lu Bei was also stunned for a moment, looking at Gai Nie strangely, his eyes implying, "Aren't you a sword master? Why are you so unsure about spending money?"

Gai Ling'er covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled, whispering in Jiang Nan's ear, "My father probably doesn't have more than two taels of silver on him. My mother has a tight rein on the finances, and she doesn't want him spending money on wine and meat."

But everyone present was an expert with sharp hearing, and they heard the whispers of the two.

Everyone immediately looked at Gai Nie with eyes that showed sympathy for him.

Gai Nie's expression became unnatural when he was stared at. He coughed, frowned, and lightly scolded, "Ling'er, stop talking nonsense. How could a great Sword Saint like me be without money?"

As he spoke, he began to take things out of his clothes.

Everyone was looking at him, and the waiter and the shopkeeper at the counter were also eagerly waiting.

"bass!"

Gai Nie grabbed a glowing spirit stone the size of a fist and threw it hard on the table.

Gai Nie pointed at the spirit stone with his big hand and said proudly, "Is it enough to book the whole place?"

The waiter was dumbfounded, staring blankly at the glowing spirit stone, "Sir, what the hell is this?"

The shopkeeper also sat back down in frustration. He had little experience and didn't recognize this kind of spirit stone.

Spiritual stones are created from the energy of heaven and earth and are extremely rare. They can only be found in wealthy places like the Tang Dynasty. In the Great Mang, perhaps only a few large cities such as Shangjing City and Yangzhou can use this thing for trading.

Lu Bei felt a little embarrassed and helped Gai Nie put it away. "Uncle Master, they are just too inexperienced to know the value of things."

Then he casually threw out a ten-ounce silver ingot and said, "That's about enough."

The waiter finally smiled and said flatteringly, "That's enough, that's enough."

The shopkeeper said with satisfaction, "Sir, please come in."

Lu Bei commanded skillfully, "Close the door, find two good rooms, and don't let other guests come in and disturb us."

"Bring out all the snacks in the store. No more wine, we have some."

The waiter nodded frequently and took notes quickly.

Lu Bei asked again, "By the way, do you have braised beef in soy sauce?"

The waiter smiled mysteriously and said, "Yes, one was accidentally hit and killed by a carriage a few days ago."

"Then give me another 20 kilograms of braised beef in soy sauce," Lu Bei said proudly.

The waiter calculated and said, "Sir, this beef is not easy to come by."

As he said this, the waiter rubbed his hands.

Lu Bei threw out another ten taels of silver without saying a word.

The waiter hurriedly caught it and said happily, "That's enough, that's enough, guests, please go upstairs."

Led by the waiter, the group went down to the second floor.

Gai Nie awkwardly patted Lu Bei's shoulder and said with a smile, "My dear nephew, I'll return it to you when I have time."

Lu Bei waved his hand and said with a smile, "Master uncle, you are too polite. The fine wine you brought is priceless."

"Haha, my dear nephew really knows what he is doing," Gai Nie suddenly became happy with a beaming face.

Lu Xiaohu put his arm around Lu Bei's shoulder and said enviously, "Brother Lu is really generous now."

Lu Bei said calmly, "I picked them up on the road."

"Picked it up again?" Lu Xiaohu winked.

Lu Bei looked very proud, "Of course, I'm lucky, all the money goes into my arms."

The group went up to the second floor and checked into two rooms.

Gai Nie, Shangguan Yurou and Lu Bei stayed in one room, while Bai Zhi, Jiang Nan and others went to another room.

Because everyone knew that these two seniors wanted to tell Lu Bei some private matters about him, so it was inconvenient for them to be present.

Of course, Gai Nie kept his promise to treat everyone to drinks.

After the waiter served the food and wine and left, Gai Nie took out a wine jug from somewhere and placed it on the table with Jiang Nan and the others. He said seriously, "This is good wine, don't waste it!"

"Thank you, uncle."

Everyone called out Lu Bei's generation name.

Gai Ling'er began to pour the wine and said proudly, "My father didn't lie to you. This is really good wine. It's because of this wine that I'm getting stronger and stronger."

"Of course, I drank it secretly without my mother's knowledge," Gai Ling'er said with a shy smile.

Upon hearing this, several people who originally didn't want to drink suddenly became interested, and even Jiang Nan felt a little jealous.

Gai Nie returned to the next room and snapped his fingers lightly.

In an instant, the entire room was wrapped in a green light curtain. The sounds from outside could come in, but the sounds from inside could not get out.

Gai Nie sat down, placed the orange gourd on the table, and sighed, "My dear nephew, I don't know how to start. How about we drink first, and then you tell us how you've been spending the past seventeen years?"

Lu Bei nodded calmly. At this point, he was no longer panicked. He was just a little curious about what kind of people his parents were and why he became an orphan. Was it true what his uncle and aunt said, that both his parents were dead?

Shangguan Yurou poured the wine and smiled softly, "Xiaobei, you are seventeen years old now. You can drink. When I met your father, he was not that old either. At that time, he could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk."

Lu Bei nodded, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, the hot breath filling his body.

He clearly felt that a pure and easily absorbed power in the wine was transformed into the Danhai.

The water level of the dried-up Thadan Sea is slowly rising.

The internal injuries he suffered in the previous battle were gradually healing, and even his breath was gradually improving.

So, the three of them began to drink calmly.

Lu Bei smiled and told them his story.

The language was humorous and the words were light-hearted, but neither Gai Nie nor Shangguan Yurou could laugh.

Especially after hearing Lu Bei's story about his experience in the underworld, the two of them frowned frequently, their hands holding the wine glasses paused from time to time, and their hearts became ups and downs as Lu Bei narrated.

Of course, Lu Bei still hid some secrets.

After finishing his story, Lu Bei laughed heartily, "Luckily, my uncle and aunt were at the exit of the secret realm. Otherwise, I would have been so reckless all the way here, and I would have been defeated when I came out."

Gai Nie praised, "You have accomplished so many great things since you first entered the martial arts world, and killed so many masters. You really have the style of your father."

Shangguan Yurou seemed to be focusing on something different. She finally smiled softly and said, "So, Xiaobei, do you like Miss Jiang Nan?"

Lu Bei was stunned and looked at the door and window nervously.

"Aunt, you're joking. We are friends," Lu Bei scratched his head and laughed.

Shangguan Yurou smiled and nodded, having seen through everything.

Gai Nie tilted his head back, took a big sip of wine, and burped.

He stood up staggeringly, his eyes blurry, and he seemed a little drunk.

"Nephew, let me tell you the story of your parents now."

Lu Bei sat upright and listened carefully.

"Nephew, you must remember the first words and be proud of your father."

A gleam of light suddenly flashed in Gai Nie's hazy and drunken eyes, and he said firmly.

"Because before the age of thirty, there is not only Li Zesheng of the Tang Dynasty who has mastered the art of learning, but also the free and easy swordsman, Lu Yunchuan!"
