As the sun gradually set, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the forest, stretching the shadows of the trees. The breeze of this season blew, making people feel very comfortable.
Xie Xuan and Jian Chen each rode a horse and followed the route back to the World Association. After an afternoon of trekking, they finally arrived at a town called Huashan Town.
"We've finally arrived at a town. We don't have to sleep in the wilderness tonight.”Xie Xuan said with a smile.
Jian Chen didn't speak much along the way. Perhaps he was still hostile towards Xie Xuan, and couldn't acknowledge this junior brother who had just entered the sect not long ago.
The two of them led their horses into the town and found that it was very prosperous. There were many pedestrians here, and there were vendors hawking along the streets. Even though night was about to fall, the town was still very noisy.
"Eh?" Xie Xuan felt as if someone was staring at him. When he turned around, he only saw pedestrians passing by. He thought it was his imagination and didn't pay much attention to it.
He brought Jian Chen to an inn. This inn was called Yunyan Inn. It was a two-story building. The door was made of high-quality nanmu. The interior of the inn was very luxurious. One look and one could tell that the expenses of this inn were not cheap.
Jian Chen had never left Wuming to travel the martial world. He was still young. He tugged at Xie Xuan's sleeve and said,"Xie Xuan, this place looks like a place where rich merchants gather. We need a lot of money, and master doesn't give us much money. Let's find an ordinary inn to stay in.”
Xie Xuan didn't care. He reached into his pocket and took out a few silver notes. They were all in the unit of a thousand taels. He said in a very annoying tone,"Senior Brother, don't be afraid. Junior Brother has money here. Today, Junior Brother will treat you to the most expensive room and the most expensive food!”
In fact, this wasn't Xie Xuan's own money. He had obtained this money from the four gang leaders when he had wiped them out. Those gang leaders were powerful people, and they had tens of thousands of silver bills with them. This time, Xie Xuan had benefited greatly.
Seeing that Xie Xuan was rich, Jian Chen didn't refuse and immediately followed Xie Xuan to the inn. A waiter saw that the two of them were dressed like martial artists and didn't look like rich people, so he casually said,"Are the two guests here to skip the queue?"
What the waiter meant was that since they couldn't afford to stay in the restaurant, they could eat some cheap food.
Xie Xuan had seen this kind of gaze many times in his previous life. He immediately picked up a banknote worth one thousand taels and threw it at the waiter's face."Are you blind? Prepare two of the best rooms and a table of the most expensive dishes for me, and the rest will be yours!”
The waiter saw Xie Xuan's upstart face and then looked at the banknotes in his hand. His expression immediately changed and he said,"Oh, this lowly one deserves to die. Please calm down, esteemed guest.”
The waiter's ability to change his expression was comparable to Sichuan opera. After all, although their inn was considered a high-end place, the most expensive room for a night was only 200 taels of silver, and the most expensive wine and dishes were only about 100 taels of silver. In other words, the waiter could get a tip of 500 miles. This was a windfall.
In the waiter's eyes, Xie Xuan was now the God of Fortune.
Jian Chen looked at Xie Xuan's smug face and wanted to reprimand him, but he didn't expect Xie Xuan to say something that almost choked him to death.
"Senior Brother, did you see that? Anything that can be solved with money is nothing!" Xie Xuan said.”
Jian Chen didn't retort, but instead entered the inn with Xie Xuan and enjoyed a sumptuous meal together. The chef of this inn was quite skilled, and the dishes on the table were all delicious.
Jian Chen and Xie Xuan ate until their mouths were full of oil. Xie Xuan said to Jian Chen proudly,"Senior brother, look, this little brother treats you pretty well, right? This luxurious life is really a good enjoyment.”
He had been by Wu Ming's side for many years and was used to eating simple meals at the Chinese Pavilion. He had never eaten such a delicious banquet. As a young man, his emotions came and went quickly. He immediately forgot about his grudge with Xie Xuan and the two of them immediately fought.
After the two of them had their fill, Xie Xuan threw a few thousand taels of silver to Jian Chen and asked him to go out to the night market in the town to enjoy himself.
Jian Chen's playful heart was aroused. He took the silver notes without any hesitation and happily agreed to leave the inn.
Xie Xuan found a waiter to bring a pot of wine and sat alone at the table to drink. After drinking a cup of wine, Xie Xuan muttered to himself,"It seems that someone is monitoring us.”
He had only just arrived in this town, but he had already been targeted. There was only one explanation for this, and that was that he had been monitored along the way.
Although Xie Xuan had caused countless troubles along the way, his reputation in the martial world was not so great that anyone needed to send someone to monitor him along the way.
Ever since he left the World Association, he had only provoked one force, and that was Wushuang City.
"If the people of Peerless City are monitoring me, then it means that they know my movements. If nothing goes wrong, they should have already set up a plan to surround and kill me.”
Of course, all of this was just his own guess. There was no evidence. Of course, it was easy to get evidence. He could just directly capture those spies.
Xie Xuan drank the last cup of wine and stood up. He moved his feet and used the Wind Catching Shadow technique. His figure turned into a shadow and disappeared from where he was.
After Xie Xuan disappeared, four people ran out from a stall in the corner of the inn and outside the door. They looked anxious and looked around for something.
Just as they were about to investigate further, Xie Xuan's voice sounded behind them.""Are you guys looking for me?"
The street outside was very busy, but the surroundings of the four people were very quiet. They turned their heads and saw Xie Xuan looking at them with a smile. Their eyes revealed a terrified expression.
"You guys have been following me for a long time, right?”Xie Xuan looked at the four of them. He was now certain that these people had been monitoring him.
Xie Xuan pulled out his long saber, Black Dragon, and his killing intent burst forth, enveloping the four of them. Then, he asked in a cold tone,"Tell me, who ordered you to come?”
The four of them felt the bone-chilling killing intent and their bodies began to tremble. They said with difficulty,"Our leader sent us to spy on you. Please, don't kill us!”
"Who is your leader?" Xie Xuan asked.
"Our leaders are the young master of Peerless City, Dugu Ming, and Protector Shi Wuzun. They plan to kill you at Lone Wolf Valley. That's all we know.”
Hearing this, Xie Xuan smiled and sheathed the black dragon. He said to the four of them,"I have no interest in you ants. Killing you will only dirty my blade. Go back and tell Dugu Ming and Shi Wuzun that I, Xie Xuan, will go to the Lone Wolf Valley, but they must be prepared to be killed by me!”
"Get lost!" Xie Xuan shouted, and the four of them fled. Only Xie Xuan returned to the table and drank another cup of wine with a smile.
