Female lead: No, it's me again??

Gongzi Qi noticed her gaze and asked a question.

Feng Siyue nodded, "I've encountered it in the Desolate Flame Thunder Continent."

With such a large hat on their heads, the people around them looked at them with a deeper gaze.

Several handsome young men slowly put down their teacups.

"Hey……"

The burly man was about to retort when he heard...

“Young Master Zhu, it seems that Commander Zhu still hasn’t taught his own people well all these years, and still lets you bite people indiscriminately as before.”

An unpleasant female voice rang out.

Biting people randomly?

Zhu Liu's face darkened, and he turned to look at the door. "Zhan Fuling, you still love to turn the tables on me!"

Outside the inn, a blue carriage was parked, and behind the curtain, which was partially obscured, was a woman wearing a seven-jeweled hairpin.

The driver was a somewhat disheveled, one-armed, middle-aged man carrying a sword on his back.

Upon seeing her, the disciples composed themselves and bowed respectfully, saying, "Young Miss!"

Miss?

The identity of the visitor was self-evident.

The only daughter of the leader of Zhantianmen, fighting in Fuling!

A woman dressed in a gorgeous royal blue dress stepped off the carriage and entered the inn. She glanced at the young man with her indifferent eyes and said, "Don't waste time on irrelevant people. Don't let it interfere with important matters."

"Yes!"

"Yes, Miss!"

The big man immediately slammed his hand on the table.

"Did you hear me? Give us a few rooms!"

The waiter trembled with fright and quickly replied with a fawning smile, "Yes, yes, yes! I'll get it done right away!!"

Zhu Liu scoffed.

"Pretentious."

However, he couldn't stand their arrogant attitude, so he went to the counter and handed them a bag of spirit stones first.

"Waiter, give us three rooms."

The waiter nodded repeatedly and hurriedly said, "Please wait a moment, sir!"

He handed the room number plates to the burly men and said quickly with a smile, "Your rooms are on the third floor, numbered 309, 310, and 311."

The burly man snatched the room key, not even glancing at Zhu Liu and his companions, and walked past them towards the stairwell. One of the men bumped into Zhu Liu's shoulder, making a sarcastic remark.

"I wonder what these people are doing here..."

Those around him echoed,

"Sigh, you'll get used to it! The Desolate Flame Thunder Continent is barren and lacks good resources for cultivation, so we'll definitely have to head to the prosperous areas of the other two continents, just like those savages in Snow Crystal Continent!"

Their voices grew increasingly unrestrained, and Zhu Liu frowned, wanting to step forward and argue, "You..."

How could they be savages?

Lin Shan grabbed his hand and asked softly,

"Zhu Liu, what are you doing?"

Zhu Liu replied without hesitation, "Of course we should teach them a lesson! Didn't you see what they were saying about us?!"

"lesson?"

Lin Shan kindly reminded him,

"Didn't you notice that man pulling the carriage? He's someone we can't afford to mess with. If you impulsively teach them a lesson, we'll be in deep trouble!"

Another woman echoed,

"Yes, Senior Brother. Zhan Tian Sect and Yan Huo Sect have always been at odds. If we make the first move, wouldn't that give them an opportunity to attack us?"

Lin Shan nodded. "Fu Xiang is right. Let's settle in first, and we can talk about the rest later."

The boy was somewhat unwilling.

"But......"

Lin Shan interrupted him.

"If we don't book a room now, there won't be any available later!"

At this moment, the waiter smiled and handed them three room number plates, "Three guests, your rooms are on the second floor, 203, 204, and 209."

Zhu Liu wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but the waiter's smile seemed much more genuine than before.

"Thank you."

Lin Shan thanked him.

"Cuckoo~"

The strange noise broke the tense atmosphere. Zhu Liu clutched his stomach, looking somewhat embarrassed. "Waiter, bring us two of our signature dishes."

This belly is so disappointing!

The waiter smiled and said, "Alright! Would you three gentlemen like to eat downstairs?"

Zhu Liu looked back.

"never mind….."

Suddenly, his eyes lit up. "Let's eat on the first floor!!"

"Alright, please wait a moment, sir, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, the waiter saw the person in front of him run out like the wind.

he:"……"

What is this for?

Zhu Liu rushed to the woman in black by the window and exclaimed in surprise, "Miss Ming, you're here!!"

Feng Siyue: "..."

Even with my back to you, you can still recognize me?

She looked up, put down her chopsticks, and said calmly, "Young Master Zhu."

Lin Shan paused as she took back the money pouch. She turned to look at the scene not far away, her mind momentarily blank.

Why is she here?

Miss Ming?

Fu Xiang recalled her senior brother's unusual behavior recently, and her gaze involuntarily fell on the woman in black.

Zhu Liu, already sitting comfortably next to Feng Siyue, said happily, "Miss Ming, where did you go after that day? We looked for you for a long time when we left!"

try to find?

Feng Siyue said, "Didn't your father tell you? After the Black Lava Volcano, we parted ways."

The boy scratched his head. "I said I would, but I thought you would at least come to say goodbye or something..."

At this moment, Zhu Liu noticed the man opposite her.

"Who is this……"

He's average-looking, not as handsome as me!

After making his evaluation, Zhu Liu's gaze softened, becoming more relaxed and indifferent.

"This is my senior brother, Qi Ying."

Qi Ying is the alias of Gongzi Qi.

The young man nodded at him.

Just then, Lin Shan and Fu Xiang walked over.

"I forgot to introduce you. This is Fuxiang, and you know this other one, Lin Shan."

"It's fate that we met. Miss Ming, you've come here because of Jiangchuan's situation, haven't you?"

"How about we team up?"

The boy's eyes sparkled as he rattled off a string of words.

Team up?

Feng Siyue shook her head.

"No need, my senior brother and I will go alone."

Zhu Liu, however, did not give up.

"Miss Ming, Jiangchuan City might be dangerous, so having more people means having more help!"

We finally found her, how can we let her go again!

Feng Siyue frowned slightly.

"Young Master Zhu, it's not convenient for us to go together."

The refusal was already quite obvious; to persist would be rather tactless.

Zhu Liu clearly understood this principle as well.

You really don't want to be with him?

He forcibly ignored his discomfort and compromised, saying, "Alright, alright, if there's anything you need, just let me know!"

Feng Siyue did not agree; she turned to look at the young man.

"Senior brother, have you finished eating?"

Young Master Qi stood up and said calmly,

"Let's go."

"Ah."

The two left without looking back.

third floor.

Zhan Fuling, who had witnessed this scene through a crack in the window, closed the window and ordered, "Investigate."

"Yes."

First floor.

"Tsk tsk tsk~ Senior brother, I didn't realize you could get rejected too."

Fu Xiang sat opposite, seemingly casually asking a question.

"you like her?"

The boy scratched his head in frustration. "So what if she doesn't like me?"

His sudden and unexpected parting last time left him feeling depressed for a long time.

He's handsome, so why can't she see him?

Fu Xiang glanced at Lin Shan, who had been quiet ever since the boy ran over, then at the dejected boy with his head down, and changed the subject, saying, "Shall we go out and look for clues after we finish eating?"

Lin Shan nodded.

The boy had a rather volatile temper.

"Fine! I'm determined to see what kind of demons and monsters are causing trouble in Jiangchuan!?"

Gongzi Qi led Feng Siyue to an unremarkable bookstore. This shop was located on Caiwang Street, the most bustling street in Jiangchuan. The shop was small, but the business was very good.
