In a small town, in a small hotel.
This was the only hotel in the town. It was already noon. Usually, there would be many guests at this time, but today, there were only two guests.
There weren't many customers today, but the hotel owner and the waiter didn't look depressed at all. Instead, they weren't surprised or even frightened. At this moment, their eyes seemed to have seen a large group of demons and ghosts.
In fact, there were only two guests in the hotel. One of them was dressed in a coarse linen robe. His face was yellow and skinny, as if he had a serious illness that had yet to recover. The other was a young man dressed in a red robe with a happy smile on his face. He looked like a groom.
The two of them sat at a table. The sallow and skinny man rarely spoke and kept stuffing food into his mouth.
It was to store things, not to eat.
No matter what this person put into his mouth, it would be gone immediately. No matter what passed through his mouth, it would disappear in less than a second.
Up until now, the sick man had been eating for nearly two hours. During this time, the sick man had been eating non-stop, as if he would never be full.
The waiter and the boss were dumbfounded because of this sickly man who looked ordinary but had an appetite at least twenty times better than many strong men.
After two hours, most of the food in the inn had been filled into the sick man's stomach. However, the sick man's stomach did not seem to be satisfied at all. He continued to eat and fill.
The young man in the red robe didn't eat. He just sat quietly in front of the sick man and watched him eat and drink. It seemed that watching people eat was a very enjoyable time for the young man.
The red-robed young man only drank wine occasionally, talked to the sick man occasionally, and of course, looked at the scenery outside the hotel from time to time.
The sick man ate half of the roast chicken again. His eating speed slowed down a little, but he was not full. However, he finally had the time to look up at his generous friend.
The sickly man never knew what being polite meant, and there were not many people in Jianghu who could make him be polite. He said,"How much silver did I eat?"
The red-robed youth glanced at the table full of bones and estimated,""I finally understand why some people say that if a person like you doesn't have the ability, you will definitely starve to death. It's only been two hours, but you've already eaten at least fifty to sixty taels of silver.”
"How much more do you think I can eat?" The sickly man smiled coldly.”
The red-robed young man shook his head." I originally thought that you could only eat things that cost a hundred taels of silver at most. Now, it seems that eating things that cost two hundred taels of silver is not enough. Fortunately, I know that no matter how many taels of silver you eat, I won't be paying for it."”
The sickly man laughed out loud, and his laughter became even colder. He waved his hand and summoned the trembling waiter over. He asked,"How much food and wine do you have left?”
The waiter naturally didn't know about this. He turned around and asked the boss.
Although the shop owner was a little old, his ears were very good. He immediately stretched out two fingers.
"Twenty taels," said the waiter.
The sickly man pushed the waiter away and sneered at the red-robed youth who was still unflustered."Did you hear what he said?"
"I'm not deaf. How could I not hear you?" The red-robed youth smiled and nodded.”
The sickly man's eyes flashed with a hint of ferocity as he sneered,""But you still think I'm going to pay for today's bill?”
The red-robed youth smiled calmly and said,""Even if it's only ten taels of silver for the food and wine, you'll have to pay for it because I reckon Hu Jinxiu will be arriving soon.”
The sick man waved at the waiter, who immediately went to serve the dishes. At this time, there were no more dishes on the table.
The sickly man sneered at the red-robed youth." Do you think Hu Jinxiu will definitely come?”
"Yes, she will definitely come." The red-robed youth was still very calm.
"Because of the Red Spot in the Central Plains?" The sickly man snorted coldly.”
The red-robed youth shook his head and said indifferently,""Even if the person who went to see Hu Jinxiu wasn't the Red Spot of the Central Plains, but any random person, she would definitely come.”
The sickly man looked at the confident red-robed youth. He was beginning to doubt himself.
He fell silent and stared at the red-robed youth for a long time before saying,""Are you Chen Feng?"
"Yes, my name is Chen Feng."”
"I remember that Hu Jinxiu doesn't seem to have a friend like you. It should be said that he doesn't have any friends other than that bald guy, Bo Ying.”
Chen Feng nodded as well. He said calmly,"Of course I'm not his friend. Moreover, even if Bu Ying casually sends someone to see Hu Jinxiu, she might not return."”
The sick man knew Hu Jinxiu, so he understood that the outcome was as Chen Feng had expected.
The sickly man looked at Chen Feng curiously. He had been in the martial arts world for many years, so he could naturally tell that the confidence in Chen Feng's eyes could not be faked. However, why was Chen Feng so confident?
"But you can?"
"Yes, I can. It can even be said that I'm the only one in the world who has this ability.”
"Why?"
Chen Feng smiled faintly, but this time, he stretched out his hand."Fifty taels of silver."
Ordinary people might have been stunned or hesitated when they heard this, but this sickly man, who did not seem to have any money on him, casually took out a fifty taels banknote from his tattered clothes and handed it to Chen Feng.
Chen Feng opened the banknote that had been rolled up and looked at it carefully for a while. He seemed to be able to tell that the banknote was real. Only then did he look at the sick man with an even happier expression and say,"Because Jinxiu is a gambler."
The sickly man frowned. He was not satisfied with this answer and was even a little angry. She said in a deep voice,"Just because Jinxiu is a gambler?”
Chen Feng smiled faintly and did not say anything.
The sick man was about to flare up when he saw the direction Chen Feng was pointing at.
Chen Feng pointed outside the hotel. There was a carriage and a person walking towards the hotel.
Just as the carriage stopped, a figure in a black robe got off the carriage. The sickly man only felt an afterimage flash by. In the blink of an eye, a person had already appeared in front of him. It was a beautiful and domineering woman.
When the woman appeared, her voice rang in the sickly man's ears almost at the same time.
"Because Hu Jinxiu, the unparalleled gambler in the world, lost to a guy who can't even be considered a gambler. This is also why I, a gambler, obediently came to see you when I heard the name Liu Suifeng.”
Chen Feng smiled. He narrowed his eyes as he looked at Hu Jinxiu, whose movement technique was faster than the wind. He sighed softly,"As expected of someone as light as a swallow and as beautiful as a golden sleeve. You really live up to your reputation. However, my name is not Liu Suifeng now, but Chen Feng.”
Hu Jinxiu did not look at the sick man. She stared at Chen Feng with a pair of seductive eyes. She slammed her hand on the table and said," Kid, what do you want to bet?"# Date:05 15 2019 5:46PM
