Even if she really wanted to interfere, she would have to wait until she came out of the temple before letting Xie Yunchen eliminate them!
What Lan Yue did not know was that although she had only brought five people with her, these five were all elites of the Feather Shadow. There were also many hidden guards by her side. As long as Lan Yue showed the jade pendant that Xie Yunchen had given her, these people would do whatever it took to do things for Lan Yue. Without Lan Yue's orders, their mission was only to protect Lan Yue.
Xie Yunchen had to be confident in everything he did, even when he was going to punish Lan Yue! Although he had never sent her a servant, he had placed Lan Yue's safety at the top of his priority list. He had even transferred the secret guards beside him to Lan Yue!
The reason why he agreed to teach Lan Yue martial arts was for her safety, not for a moment! It was impossible for her to always have someone protecting her. If she really encountered a strong enemy, she would be easily captured! No matter how others protected her, it was not as useful as her protecting herself!
When Lan Yue heard the footsteps of the waiter gradually fading away, she changed her clothes and waited for the waiter to bring the bathwater.
They had traveled for more than half a day. In addition, they had arrived in a hurry. Even the clothes were taken care of by Lan Yue on the carriage. She had not even washed her face, let alone taken a bath. In order not to look so miserable, she only took a cloth and dipped it in some water to wipe her face.
Other things aside, when the main room was on fire, she was covered in dust. She had long wanted to wash it carefully.
Lan Yue didn't wait for too long. Soon, Lan Yue's door rang again. Lan Yue walked to the door and opened it.
The waiter at the door lowered his head and picked up the wooden bucket on the ground. The size of the wooden bucket was enough to accommodate Lan Yue's entire body. At this moment, the wooden bucket was constantly emitting steam.
As the waiter picked up the wooden bucket, the water in the wooden bucket swayed a few times before gradually stabilizing. Lan Yue looked at the water in the wooden bucket and a strange look flashed across her eyes.
"Waiter, do you usually fetch water for guests who want to bathe like this? This water is quite heavy, isn't it? It's rare for you to be able to bring in a wooden bucket and water so smoothly. You must have practiced a lot, right?”Lan Yue looked at the eight-foot-tall waiter who had a wooden hairpin on his head and was dressed in coarse linen clothes. There was a white cloth towel on his shoulder and a pair of black cloth boots on his feet.
"Yes, our shop is usually very busy, and the boss is reluctant to hire people. I can only do the work of several people by myself. After a long time, I found a way to save time.”
The waiter quickly walked into the room and put down the wooden bucket in his hand. He casually wiped the sweat off his head with a cloth towel and said,"I'll leave the water here for you. Enjoy it. I'll come over in an hour to deliver the osmanthus cake you wanted.”
The waiter turned around and looked in Lan Yue's direction. When he saw Lan Yue standing at the door with a guarded expression, he could not help but be stunned. However, he quickly returned to his normal state.
Lan Yue, who was standing at the side, had never missed any changes in the waiter. She had already sneaked to the door when the waiter entered the room.
At this moment, she was obviously on guard against the waiter. Although she did not know martial arts, she was not stupid. How could an ordinary waiter carry a wooden bucket filled with water?
The wooden bucket was extremely heavy. If the bucket of water was added to it, it would be very difficult for someone to carry it. Even if they could carry it, it was impossible for the water in the wooden bucket to calm down after shaking slightly!
"How long has the waiter been carrying the wooden bucket like this?”Lan Yue said casually.
"It won't be long. It'll be three to five years! If you have nothing else to say, I'll leave!”The waiter bowed to Lan Yue.
"I wonder how much the owner of this shop pays you?”Lan Yue took a step back. If her judgment was correct, this person was definitely not someone who would eat! An ordinary handyman could make this full load of water not move in three to five years? She would never believe it even if she was beaten to death!
Haven't you seen pigs run before? She didn't know kung fu. Had she never seen someone who knew kung fu practice kung fu? He wanted to lie to her? The person in front of him was still a little inexperienced.
Although her father had taught her since she was young that she should not judge a book by its cover, she had to judge a book by its cover at this moment!
The ancients said that one's appearance was born from the heart, and one could observe one's mind from one's face. This saying was never wrong. People's hearts were born from their faces. As for what his father said, one could not judge a person by their appearance. This was also the direction of the Great Dao, and there was also a reason for it.
The existence of the two was a contradiction, but there was no way to refute their mistakes. One was to tell the world that if one looked at a person, one had to look at their face to know whether the person was evil or good. The other was to warn the world that one could not easily judge a person based on their appearance alone. Their face was not accurate.
These two were both Great Daos. Lan Yue believed that although these two were contradictory, there were also areas where they could be interlinked!
Take the waiter for example. Although his appearance was ordinary, he was dressed in the most inconspicuous cotton clothes and did not have any valuable items on him. He looked extremely ordinary, but his skin was extremely delicate and even fair. No matter how he looked at it, he did not look like a rough waiter in an inn. Instead, he looked like a young master from a wealthy family.
From the fact that he was able to make the water in the wooden bucket not move, he easily broke Lan Yue's analysis. How could a young master from a wealthy family achieve such a state? This person was definitely not as simple as a rich young master who lived like a prince.
A rich young master would never be so bored as to be a waiter in such an inconspicuous inn! Therefore, this person must have an unknown identity, and his purpose for appearing here at this moment was definitely not that simple.
At this moment, Lan Yue used these two extremely contradictory words and her father's teaching not to judge a book by its cover to analyze this so-called waiter thoroughly! This was the so-called mastery!
What was appearance? It wasn't just a person's appearance. The word 'appearance' also contained the person's clothing, age, and then appearance. When people looked at people, the first thing they looked at wasn't the person's appearance, but the item they used to wrap their skin. The value of this item became a basis for people to judge a person! Then, what he looked at was not the person's appearance, but his age, and then his appearance!
Therefore, when people saw a person's clothes, they would make a basic judgment. Then, they would consider their age!
Why was the elderly respected? It was because they had lived a little longer in the world that they understood more about human affairs. This was often the case in the world. Therefore, when people met someone younger than them, they would underestimate their existence. On the contrary, it was very likely that they would overestimate their existence. Following that, an external appearance would appear and they would underestimate this person.
Through their previous thoughts, the people of the world had already set a height in their hearts. Then, when they looked at his appearance, they would ignore him and not think deeply about his appearance! It was this simple neglect that was the most fatal. It was also the reason why one could not judge a book by its cover.
Why is the face born from the heart? This face was not a physical appearance. There was no preconceived notion of what was wrapped in the skin, and there was no limit to age. One could directly observe his face and see his appearance. From this, one could think about his mind and understand this person from it. From then on, one could reach the realm of face being born from the heart.
This was also why Lan Yue felt that although the two of them seemed to be in conflict on the surface, they were deeply connected!
Although she did not know much about the world and had grown up in Lan Ao's hands, she was not a dull person. Instead, she was an extremely meticulous person. That was why she was so vigilant when she saw the water in the wooden bucket.
"Not much, just two taels of silver! After all, a small person could be inferior to many people, so the owner had to give more!”The waiter said respectfully.
"Who are you? What is your purpose for appearing here?”Lan Yue took another step back. At this moment, half of her body had already left the room. When the waiter said that her monthly salary was two taels of silver, she was even more certain of her thoughts!
Although she had never been a waiter, nor had she ever done such a difficult job, when she was young, she often sneaked out of the Prime Minister's residence to go to these inns, clothing shops, and other places. Therefore, she had always known the monthly salary of these rough people like the back of her hand. Although this was not the Imperial City, the monthly salary should not be much different.
If not for the fact that there was a difference, then it could only be that the monthly salary here was lower than that of the Imperial City!
The monthly salary of a waiter in the inn was one Guan of money. Even if it was more, it would only be one Guan of money. From one Guan of money to two Guan of money, it would not be more than one tael of silver!
Since the person in front of him had said before that the owner of this inn was afraid of spending money, so he did not hire anyone to do things. That was why that person had done so many things. Even if the owner was willing to give him more money, in order to keep him, he would not give him as much as a single tael of silver! Wouldn't two taels of silver be too much?
Moreover, in her opinion, a few taels of silver was nothing. However, these few taels of silver were a lot of money in the hands of these servants. Needless to say, it was enough for them to live for a few months. In this way, these two taels of silver were so much. How could this servant say that the silver was not much?
Moreover, this person didn't look very old. He was only about twenty years old. If that was the case, then according to what he said, it would take three to five years to carry such a wooden bucket filled with water. Then wouldn't he have to do this since he was fourteen or fifteen years old? In other words, he had been here since he was 14 or 15 years old and had never left. Logically speaking, the owner of this inn should have bought him and signed a death contract.
