Li Da, the servant behind him, covered his swollen face and said,"Young Master, do you want me to tell Old Master to send someone to take care of those two brats?”
When Peach Blossom heard this, she knew that Fu Guanbao was not beaten by her master. A strange look appeared in her eyes and she replied in a flash.
"Wait, don't tell Master about this yet." Fu Guanbao waved his hand to stop him.”
"However, I must teach those two kids a lesson.”Fu Guanbao thought of Yu Qi forcing him to kneel and kowtow in front of everyone.
The hatred in her heart towards Yu Qi could no longer be suppressed.
If he couldn't vent his anger, how could he, Fu Guanbao, gain a foothold in Xiangyang City?
"Brat, I will definitely return the slap you gave me tenfold.”
Fu Guanbao secretly made up his mind.
Yu Qi did not know that Fu Guanbao had not stopped his revenge.
Yu Qi found an inn in the southern part of Xiangyang City and asked for a superior room. He first instructed the waiter to prepare hot water, took a shower, and changed into a clean robe.
He put the zither away, carried the sword, and went downstairs to eat.
A few dishes and a pot of sake. Yu Qi poured himself some wine and drank it. He listened to the autumn rain outside the window and thought about his next step.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the inn.
"Where did this beggar come from?”
This was a voice that Yu Qi felt was slightly familiar. En, it seemed to be the waiter of this inn.
Yu Qi gently put down the wine cup in his hand and listened carefully.
"It's raining outside, so I'm just taking shelter here. I'm not going in, so why do you have to chase me away, little brother?"”
"Hide from the rain? If you stand in the corridor, the stench will reach the heavens. The inn is full of people coming and going, affecting the business. Hurry up and go…Don't stand here anymore.”
" Aiyo!" The waiter seemed to have pushed the old beggar to the ground impatiently.
At this moment, a clear voice suddenly sounded.
I have seen people in the world, living and dying again.
There were two men in the court yesterday, strong men and brave men.
Now he's over seventy, exhausted and haggard.
Just like yesterday's flowers, blooming in the morning and falling at night.
When the inn attendant heard Yu Qi's words, he quickly turned around and jabbed his hand. He said hesitantly,"Sir, look at this old beggar's tattered clothes. It will affect other customers.”
Yu Qi didn't say much and reached into his pocket. A silver ingot flew out and the shop assistant caught it with both hands.
"Is it enough?" Yu Qi said seriously.
The shop assistant weighed the silver in his hand. There were about four or five taels.
Even if he accepted the customer's tip and had to hand over half of it to the shopkeeper, he would still have two or three taels left. It was enough for his family to use for a month.
The waiter was overjoyed and shouted to the beggar outside,"Hey…there's a kind-hearted young master inside who's inviting you in for a drink.”
This beggar was dressed in rags and had one foot bare. He did not seem to know how to be modest as he walked straight towards Yu Qi's table.
"This old beggar is really thick-skinned," the shop assistant said in a low voice.”
However, in the end, he did not stop the old beggar from entering because of the silver that Yu Qi had given him.
Yu Qi looked up and saw that the beggar was dressed in a shabby blue shirt. He was dragging a boot on his feet and was staggering with each step.
Even though he was a little unkempt, his brows were clear and his eyes were bright. Upon closer inspection, this person was actually only 20 to 30 years old. He did not have the feeling of being old and powerless as the inn clerk had said.
When Yu Qi carefully sized up the beggar, the beggar also looked at Yu Qi in surprise.
Yu Qi cupped his fists and said,"Please, sir."”
The beggar rolled up his sleeves and used his dirty sleeves to wipe the clean table and chairs before sitting down.
"The hearts of mortals are ever-changing, and indeed, they are not as tough as the pine trees and rocks in the mountains.”
Hearing Yu Qi's words, the blue-robed beggar's eyes narrowed as he continued.
After the blue-robed beggar finished speaking, he did not stand on ceremony. His hands, which were covered in dirt, were as white as jade. He raised the wine cup that Yu Qi had just used and brought it to his lips. Then, he raised his head and drank it in one gulp.
"Good wine."
"Of course it's good wine."
"What a pity." The blue-robed beggar sipped a few drops of wine from the corner of his mouth and sighed softly.
Yu Qi did not ask what the blue-robed beggar was regretting. He just picked up the wine pot and poured himself a cup. He did not mind that the blue-robed beggar had used this cup before. He placed it by his mouth and gently took a sip.
The blue-robed beggar saw Yu Qi's expression and did not think he was offended. His face was calm.
"Little friend, you are very intelligent."”
Yu Qi looked straight into the blue-robed beggar's eyes and said word by word,""How can you teach me?"
The blue-robed beggar laughed softly. This seemed to be the first time the blue-robed beggar had laughed since he came in.
He did not have the gloominess of being a beggar or being at the bottom of the social ladder at all. There was only an indescribable sense of brightness and freedom.
If this blue-robed beggar were to wash away the stains on his face with a handful of spring water, he would definitely be a handsome man with red lips and white teeth.
The blue-robed beggar smiled." Little friend, do you know how dirty, dangerous, foolish, and muddle-headed a person's heart is?"”
Yu Qi seemed to have thought of something and said in a clear voice,"I know. If I didn't know…I wouldn't be able to see you."”
The blue-robed beggar smiled awkwardly, cleared his throat, and covered it gently. His gaze suddenly turned to the Soul Destroying Sword in Yu Qi's right hand.
Just as she was about to reach out to grab it, Yu Qi held down the back of her hand.
The blue-robed beggar did not mind and said,""Good sword."
"This sword can sweep through the world and kill demons.”The blue-robed beggar pondered for a moment before speaking in a deep voice.
Yu Qi slowly released the hand that was pressing on the back of the person's hand and said in a sincere tone,"It is a good sword."
The blue-robed beggar withdrew his hand without a trace, as if nothing had happened.
Yu Qi turned his head and said calmly,"Sir, is there anything else to say?”
The blue-robed beggar raised his eyebrows and chuckled."Little friend, since you have this sword, do you dare to kill the demon?”
Yu Qi stared at the blue-robed beggar and let out a breath."Why should I eliminate demons?"
When the blue-robed beggar heard this, his gaze completely withdrew from the Soul Destroying Sword, and his face was filled with disappointment.
He stood up and shook off the non-existent dust on his sleeves. He said casually,"If you're interested, you can come to Dajing Alley in the west of the city to find me tomorrow night.”
With that, the blue-robed beggar lifted one of his boots and staggered out of the inn.
Yu Qi picked up the wine cup on the table, put it to his lips, and drank it in one gulp.
At this moment, on the street outside the drizzle, there was a faint singing sound."Dancing in the blue, how much can the world be? A beautiful woman is like a spring tree, and a fleeting time is like a shuttle. The ancients never returned, but now more people are coming…"
Yu Qi's eyes were shocked as he thought, So it's this person.
Yu Qi had never expected that the person he had been fighting with for so long would actually be one of the Eight Immortals of the Upper Cave, Lan Caihe.
