Since they had nothing to do after dinner, Xiang Wentian brought the two of them to the back of the Mountain God Temple. A small door was connected to a small path covered with weeds. It was winding and endless. It was estimated that they would reach the secluded and towering Lychee Mountain. On both sides of the path were uneven hills and wild grass. The Mountain God Temple was built on this slightly higher slope. There was a slightly wide road in front of it that seemed to extend to the village in the distance. However, from the potholes and weeds on the road, it could be seen that the Mountain God Temple had indeed been deserted for many years. Modern people were actively earning money to make a living and did not have extra energy to care about these wild immortals.
On the east side of the Mountain God Temple, which was of course very far away, the government was planning to build a high-grade road to Mount Lychee. It seemed that they wanted to develop the tourism economy of Mount Lychee. It was said that modern people understood that life needed enjoyment. Being able to wander in the mountains and beautiful scenery in the big city was one of the greatest pleasures in life. Moreover, Lychee Mountain was connected to the vast East China Sea. Just imagine, by the side of the mountain, facing the sea, wouldn't it have the fun of floating like a fairy? I want to ride the wind back, what a poetic wish!
When he agreed to be the leader of these people, the blonde asked him quietly if there would be any bad consequences when no one was around. Last night, those people had said that if they did this, they would have to compete with the local Qian Laosan. They didn't know who Qian Laosan was, but from their expressions, they could tell that he wasn't an ordinary person. Otherwise, they wouldn't have come looking for them and wanted to ask Xiang Wentian, a capable person, to come forward.
The problem of their dignity was put aside for the time being. The blonde was worried that if they lost their lives in this strange city, it would be too unpredictable. In the end, the two of them rushed to Shenzhou in the dark to live a good life, not to run away. At least, that was what the blonde thought. He definitely did not have the same thoughts as Xiang Wentian, who was bent on becoming outstanding, or traveled thousands of miles just for a beautiful woman.
Xiang Wentian knew what these people wanted to do when Old Xin and the others tried to persuade him to join the so-called Beggar's Sect. To put it bluntly, they wanted to use this ability to deal with Old Third Qian. Sometimes, if one wanted to make a name for themselves in a place, it would be useless without some skills.
But even so, even though he knew that this was the case, Xiang Wentian was still willing to be used by them. It seemed like someone had once said that if someone could be used by others, it meant that they were still somewhat useful. Living alone in the world, one was afraid that no one would come to pay attention to you. This was the saddest thing.
Of course, Xiang Wentian didn't consider this. At this moment, he was thinking about how to use this opportunity to help him gain a firm foothold in Shenzhou. These days, there was one thing that made Xiang Wentian understand. Surviving alone in this world was not that simple. The kaleidoscope of life was indeed wonderful, but sometimes, it was only on the surface that people outside of life could see, but everyone needed to cut through the thorns and thorns inside.
With his lack of skills and connections, it was not easy to make a name for himself in this unfamiliar metropolis. He had to pay a price. As for what kind of price, he did not know at this time. He only knew that he had to seize the opportunity. Now, Old Xin had found him, which was an opportunity. They wanted to make use of his ability. If he used this ability to deal with a living person, he would still have some advantages. Otherwise, he would not have another opportunity to use it.
Although the road ahead would be very dangerous, even the yellow-haired punk who was only a rookie in Jianghu could see this. Xiang Wentian still had to give it a try. He was unwilling! No matter what, he couldn't go back in such a dejected manner, and he couldn't go back without even finding Sally's shadow. He could only be immersed in endless painful memories for the rest of his life.
Xiang Wentian didn't reveal his true thoughts about the yellow-haired guy's worries. He just said without much expression that if he wanted to go home, he would arrange for his own travel expenses. Seeing that the blondie didn't reply, he said confidently," Didn't I tell you? The world was created by people fighting with their bare hands! In this world, there were only useless people who couldn't be helped, and there was no throne room that was obtained for nothing.”
The three of them were responsible for lunch. Old Xin and the others were thoughtful and had already arranged enough funds for the gang leader's activities. Tao Zi said that the master had left the money for the gang leader to use for the next few days. This was the first time they had seen such a large amount of money since they had lost the money when they first arrived in Shenzhou. At least for now, Xiang Wentian dared to spend it without being stingy.
According to Xiang Wentian's plan, the three of them went to the Golden Tripod Hotel in the Wanli District for a meal. The Golden Tripod Hotel was Qian Laosan's base camp in the Wanli District. Since it was inevitable to have dealings with this person, it was better to observe him from a close distance. The last time he went to the Golden Tripod Hotel, he only passed by its door and did not dare to enter.
The two of them tidied up their clothes. They could still be called well-dressed. Although they did not look like rich people, they could still afford to spend money in a place like the Golden Tripod Hotel. As for the cover, they were a little worried. Just by wearing it, they could tell that he was a beggar. Only beggars would wear such tattered clothes.
This time, he had made a mistake when he looked at Taozi. He didn't know that Taozi had heard that they were going to eat at the Golden Tripod Hotel. When he returned to the Mountain God Temple, he took out a set of clothes from a wooden box in the back room. The size was about the same as Taozi's body that was about to develop. It was actually a suit. When he wore it, he looked better than the two of them. After washing his face, he looked even more energetic.
It turned out that these people all had two sets of identities, or even multiple identities. During the day, they had to go to the market to beg for food, so they could only wear tattered clothes. However, if they had other needs, such as spying on information, they had to wear other clothes. It was impossible for them to go to some well-behaved places and still wear begging clothes. That would be too conspicuous.
When the three of them arrived at the Golden Tripod Hotel, the security guard at the entrance naturally wouldn't recognize them. These two people must have been here a few months ago. They just kept welcoming them warmly like doormen with a business-like smile. The three of them entered the hall. The two men behind Xiang Wentian had already been brainwashed by the gang leader. They were here as customers, not as other people. They must not show any fear. The customer was God. The people there only had to smile at them. However, these two people might have been to such a noble place for the first time. They could only follow him with fear and did not dare to breathe loudly.
The Golden Tripod Hotel was just as its name suggested. It had a golden sheen and the hall seemed to be decorated with gold. Xiang Wentian and the others did not know what material was used to make this place, but they felt that the moment they entered, everything that appeared in front of them was golden. The white sunlight outside was reflected by the walls and the ceiling of the hall.
The three of them could not help but walk carefully on the shiny ground, afraid that they would slip on such a smooth ground. If that happened, they would show their faces and disrupt their entire plan to come here.
Xiang Wentian took the lead and took small steps calmly. He swept his eyes around and felt that his eyes were not enough. The hall was wide open, but he did not see any stairs or elevators. Just as he was about to go to the service desk to ask about the meal, a waitress came up and politely asked them what service they needed. He didn't look at the young lady in the cheongsam and didn't answer her directly. Instead, he glanced behind him. The cover behind him immediately understood. The blonde had yet to react to this situation. The three of them heard that the service here was good, so they came here to eat.
The smile on the young lady's face became even wider. She said with a smile,"If the two of you want to eat Chinese lunch, please go to the second floor. If you want Western food, please go to the third floor. I guess the three of you are here at the last minute without a reservation.”
Xiang Wentian smiled and nodded. Under the respectful guidance of the young lady, he walked up to the second floor. Just as he reached the corner of the boxwood staircase, he heard the lady muttering behind him," That big guy in front, what's his background?”Xiang Wentian couldn't help but turn his head to take a look. He saw that she was blushing and seemed to be confused. Could it be that he had heard his muttering?
Xiang Wentian smiled and continued to go upstairs. He was very proud of his behavior. If this attitude was not ordinary, then his boss had to put on an act. This feeling did not last for a minute. Just as he stepped onto the second floor and was about to walk to the service desk not far from the stairs, a familiar figure at the service desk made Xiang Wentian's heart palpitate. He could not help but pause and did not dare to take a second step.
The yellow-haired guy didn't notice that his boss had stopped walking and bumped into his back. He couldn't help but let out a soft cry and looked over curiously. At this moment, the familiar figure at the service desk turned around and faced him. The yellow-haired guy saw clearly from behind him that this lady who was familiar to both of them was none other than Meng Xin, the eldest miss of the Meng family who had met at the train station in the South Region!
The yellow-haired guy was pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect that there would be a person who wasn't a stranger in this strange city, and he was even working in this kind of place. Just as he was about to open his mouth to greet him, he realized that his boss had coincidentally turned around at this time and whispered to the yellow-haired guy,"Wrong way. Let's go to the third floor and eat western food.”
The yellow-haired guy didn't recover from his surprise. He was deeply surprised by Boss's sudden change of heart and called out,""Boss, didn't you say you wanted to eat at the Chinese restaurant on the second floor?”
