Jin Ling City was ancient and majestic. Although the country was peaceful now, there were still soldiers in armor guarding the ancient city. Looking at the two rows of soldiers standing upright at the gate, the meticulous killing intent in their eyes was faintly discernible, causing the people who came in and out to tremble in fear. The long swords and halberds that had been baptized by the enemy's blood were held in the hands of these soldiers like the reappearance of the God of Death. Ye Jianli stood at the back of the crowd with a deep gaze," Was this an ancient weapon? He was indeed very strong!
Not long after, it was Ye Jianli's turn. The leading general looked at Ye Jianli carefully before shaking his head and letting him pass.
Only after entering the city did they truly witness the prosperity of the Jiang Country. The crowd was bustling but orderly. The street stalls, jewelry stalls, and vegetable stalls were packed with people. From time to time, one could even see some performers. Ye Jianli smiled bitterly and shook his head when he saw the performers. The border of the Jiang Kingdom was safe, but the situation inside was actually very deep!
Ye Jianli's white clothes were very eye-catching in this crowd. The commoners also took a look at this handsome young man. Among them, there were even a few young ladies with pink faces who were secretly looking at Ye Jianli.
With Ye Jianli's current strength, he knew everything within 200 feet like the back of his hand. As it was his first time coming to such a large town, even as a martial arts expert, he could not withstand everyone's gazes and fled.
Finally, they found a relatively quiet inn, Yuelai Inn.
When he entered the inn, he saw some people gathered in twos and threes. There were martial artists, young masters, and young ladies.?Ye Jianli did not even look at each other when he stepped in and continued to talk about them, as if Ye Jianli had never seen them before.
Seeing that the inn was cold and empty, the waiter was a little drowsy. At this moment, when he saw Ye Jianli, who was dressed in a white robe and jade belt, enter the room, the waiter's eyes lit up. With his eyes that had seen countless people, he could naturally tell that Ye Jianli's status was not ordinary, especially the scabbard of the sword. Magnificent! He then eagerly led Ye Jianli to an empty table and bowed,""Young Master, do you want to be a waiter or stay in a hotel?”
It was already dusk. Ye Jianli saw that the sky was getting dark and said,""Let's stay in the hotel!"
"Then which room do you want to stay in? Our shop has a sky-class room!”the waiter said.
"Then let's go with the heaven-tier! How much silver per night?" Ye Jianli pondered for a moment before replying.
"Twenty-five taels of silver a night!" The waiter answered simply.
"Here's ten days 'worth of silver.”Ye Jianli took out two silver ingots and said.
The waiter excitedly took the silver and was about to register with the shopkeeper when he heard Ye Jianli say,""After walking for so many days, I'm tired of eating dry food. Waiter, bring me some of the best dishes in your shop.”
"Young Master, do you want to serve wine? The wine in our restaurant has many flavors. You'll be satisfied!”The waiter said eagerly.
"Wine? Do you have bamboo leaf green?" Ye Jianli said.
"Yes! Yes, yes, yes! How much does Young Master want?" The waiter asked.
"One pot!"
"Alright, Young Master, please wait a moment. I'll be there in a while!”
Sure enough, after a while, the dishes were all served. Looking at the delicacies, Ye Jianli, who had not eaten meat for a long time, began to eat. Then, he drank a mouthful of Zhuyeqing, looking intoxicated!
Just as Ye Jianli was feasting, another guest came to the inn. Rather than calling him a guest, it would be better to call him a beggar! Because he was dressed in rags and had a stubble beard. He walked into the inn with a hunched body, holding an ancient crutch in his hand. He looked like a beggar with only a broken bowl in his hand. Although the owner had taught him to serve everyone who entered the Yuelai Inn with a smile, the waiter did not have a good expression when such a beggar-like person entered. Seeing that the person continued to walk, the waiter immediately went to chase him away.
Ye Jianli continued to eat and drink like a hungry ghost reincarnated. If it wasn't for his gorgeous clothes and noble sword, he would have been chased away by the waiter. Ye Jianli seemed to know nothing about this person coming in, but in reality, it was not so. He only took a glance and discovered a problem," The fine dust in the room could not get close to his body. There were only two reasons why such a person with superb martial arts skills became like this: He was either hiding evil intentions and trying to hide it from others, or he was a hero who had lost money for justice!
He was a hero? Or a villain? Ye Jianli didn't want to know as this had nothing to do with him. Hence, he continued to bury his head in his food and drink! Of course, only 90% of his attention was on eating. What about the other 10%?
When that person saw the waiter chasing him away, he only glanced at the people in the room with a flickering gaze. He then turned around and walked out of the inn.
"Wait, that fellow over there, please come over and have a chat!”Ye Jianli was finally full. He rubbed his stomach and said to the person who was about to walk out of the inn.
Why did Ye Jianli stop him? Because he was a hero! Why did he conclude that he was a hero? It was because of his gaze before he left! Only heroes would have that kind of gaze when they were on the road of poverty!
That person's body stiffened as he slowly turned around and said to Ye Jianli with a bitter smile,""Did Young Master call for me?" The waiter couldn't help but stop in his tracks as he looked back at Ye Jianli with eyes filled with doubt.
Ye Jianli said," Little Second Brother, please invite this brother over!"”
" Young Master, this..." The waiter was troubled.
"Is this not enough?" Ye Jianli threw a silver ingot to the waiter and asked.
The waiter took it and took a closer look. It was actually ten taels of silver! The waiter immediately beamed with joy. This…customer, this way please!"
"What do you want to eat, Brother?" Ye Jianli asked. Order it yourself! This meal is on me!"
Lin Qing smiled gratefully and looked at the remaining dishes on the table,""There's no need. I'll just eat these!”
Seeing that Lin Qing had finished eating, Ye Jianli said,"Brother, aren't you tired from bending over like this?"”
Lin Qing smiled bitterly when he heard that. Following the sound of bones cracking, Lin Qing's hunched body instantly straightened up.
Bone Shrinking Technique! The eyes of a few martial artists in the inn lit up, and sparks instantly flew when they exchanged glances.?
Lin Qing said," I'm Lin Qing. Thank you for your help, Young Master. I'm willing to repay Young Master's kindness by saving you three times!"”
Seeing that Lin Qing's words were sincere and didn't seem like he was lying, Ye Jianli was greatly puzzled," Could it be that Lin Qing couldn't see through his cultivation? Thinking of this, Ye Jianli probed,""Can't I protect myself with my cultivation?”
Lin Qing's expression was difficult to answer, but he still gritted his teeth and said,""Please forgive me, young master. With your second-rate cultivation, it's indeed difficult for you to protect yourself in this Jianghu that's as deep as the ocean!”These words were indeed difficult to say. After all, it was really difficult to talk about the master's lack of martial arts in front of the master, especially the person who had given him a meal. It was no wonder that Lin Qing had a difficult expression!
Ye Jianli did not mind. Martial arts required more communication to improve. However, after hearing Lin Qing's words, Ye Jianli was even more puzzled," Was he really that bad? However, weren't the guards at home also second-rate experts? Although he was caught off guard, he did not use his full strength! Could it be that his fifth layer innate earth energy could conceal his cultivation? That was too heaven-defying!
Ye Jianli still didn't believe it and showed the sword to Lin Qing. Of course, Lin Qing couldn't pull it away because this sword was the Weeping Blood Sword! If the Weeping Blood Sword was born, wouldn't he never have a peaceful day in the future? Therefore, he did something to the scabbard.
Who knew that Lin Qing would sigh after seeing the sword,""Young Master, this is your first time in the martial world, right?”
Ye Jianli's heart skipped a beat as he looked into Lin Qing's eyes. Seeing that his eyes were clear, he said,""To be honest, this is my first time in the martial world!
Lin Qing said in realization,"No wonder Young Master doesn't even know the first rule of the martial world!"”
"There are rules in Jianghu?" Ye Jianli was surprised.
"Yes, there are many rules in the martial arts world. A single carelessness will lead to death!”Lin Qing paused, picked up the Weeping Blood Sword, and pointed at the gemstones on the scabbard.""The first rule of the martial world is to not reveal your wealth. Young Master Xiang has probably been targeted by many people with this sword!”
Ye Jianli didn't think too much about it at that time. The original scabbard was extremely shabby and ordinary. If he was dressed luxuriously but held an ordinary sword, everyone would probably know that he held a good sword. At that time, there would definitely be many people coveting it! He changed to a gorgeous scabbard, but the problem came again. Money should not be revealed in front of others!
Ye Jianli was silent for a long time before he stared at Lin Qing with a knife-like gaze and said,""You're eyeing me too?"
Lin Qing was stunned. After a while, he said,"Young Master, you've misunderstood!" I have no ill intentions towards Young Master!”He then laughed and continued," I, Lin Qing, have lived for 28 years. I have to admit that I am worthy of my parents and the commoners. Why would I associate myself with such a despicable person?”After she finished speaking, she actually met Ye Jianli's gaze.
Ye Jianli retracted his gaze and said indifferently," Brother Lin, you really don't have any ill intentions towards me! You're just curious!"
"Yes, I really want to see it!" Lin Qing answered truthfully.
"Now is not the time!" Ye Jianli said.
Lin Qing raised her head and the green bamboo leaf slid down her throat.
"Brother Lin, have you been living a rough life recently?" Ye Jianli asked.”
Lin Qing nodded and said," I'm ashamed to say it. It's fine if I don't say it!"”After saying that, he continued to drink the Bamboo Leaf Green. However, his eyes were red and his expression was gloomy.
The only thing that could make this righteous hero lose his wealth was beauty. Ye Jianli shook his head slightly as his thoughts drifted to Dongfang Xianer who was far away in the horizon. He had left without saying a word just like that. What awaited her was only a contract termination letter. He wondered how that little girl was doing! It was undeniable that the adorable Dongfang Xianer had a place in his heart…
What was Dongfang Xian 'er doing?
