These few days of peace and quiet had made Bai Zhantang realize that he did not want to follow Ji Wuming to wander the martial arts world anymore.
Thieves were always unpresentable, and Bai Zhantang did not want to be chased by Six Fan School like a stray dog.
"Little Ji, don't force me anymore.”
Lao Bai's expression was bitter.
In the blink of an eye, several days passed. Old White was getting used to his current life, guarding the inn every day.
When dawn came, he would clean the tables and chairs, then fetch water, chop firewood, and buy vegetables. He was also much more familiar with the surrounding neighbors.
"Old Bai, did you come out to buy vegetables alone again today?”
Shopkeeper Zhou of the rouge shop greeted.
"Yes, I am."
"Old Zhou, come to the inn for a drink later. My treat."”
"Alright."
"Old Qian, you're open so early today.”
On an ordinary morning, Lao Bai was wearing simple clothes and walking on the streets of an ordinary ancient town, talking and laughing.
After buying two baskets full of meat and vegetables, he carried them back to the inn. After delivering breakfast, he stopped at the Su residence for a while.
Then, he returned to the inn, ate melon seeds, read books, drank wine, and even brought a chair to the door to sit in the sun.
Time passed day by day. In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. Ji Wuming came more and more frequently.
However, Old Bai would fool him every time, saying that he didn't have a chance now. Su Xuan was watching him closely.
However, Bai Zhantang also knew that Ji Wuming's patience was getting smaller and smaller. He might not be able to hold it in any time.
On this day, Lao Bai was leisurely drinking wine and eating melon seeds in the lobby. At this time, a beggar with disheveled clothes walked into the inn. His entire body was emitting a stench, and his messy hair covered half of his face.
"Where did this little beggar come from?”
"I just swept the floor, don't dirty it with your steps."”
"Old Bai, are you a f * cking human?”
A familiar voice sounded. The beggar smoothed his hair and revealed an angry face. It was Thief God Ji Wuming.
"Little Ji, how did you end up like this?”
Lao Bai hurriedly stood up.
"Bai Zhantang, you f * cking eat and drink well every day. You eat big fish and meat every day. I live under the bridge every day and eat in the open. I can't even eat cornbread.”
"Are you a human?" Ji Wuming asked, feeling wronged. What did they say back then? We'll live and die together.”
Bai Zhantang's face turned red and he was embarrassed. He said,""Little Ji, you don't know, but I've been having trouble eating and sleeping recently. I feel like I've been discovered by Su Xuan.”
As she spoke, she squeezed out two drops of tears."Don't think that I'm sunbathing every day. I have no choice.
I can't even protect myself now. Didn't you notice? The constables in the town are coming more and more frequently. I guess the constables from Six Fan School are already on their way.”
Bai Zhantang smiled bitterly." Little Ji, I can't leave now. I can't drag you down. Hurry up and leave. The further you go, the better."”
"It can't be."
Ji Wuming was shocked.
"Why would I lie to you?"
Lao Bai sighed." This Su Xuan is a schemer. I didn't notice him."”
"Old Bai, when I came over, I saw a bride outside the door.”
Ji Wuming said," Let's not do business with Su Xuan anymore. Go and lure this bride in. We'll take her dowry and immediately leave Seven Hero Town."”
"No."
Bai Zhantang shook his head.”
"You're about to lose your life, and you still care about this?”
" Are you going to do it or not?" Ji Wuming threatened." If you don't do it, I'll kill this bride and make you take the blame."”
"I'll do it."
Bai Zhantang gritted his teeth.
He had made up the story about letting Ji Wuming escape and that he was about to be finished. It was all to let Ji Wuming escape.
"But let me say this first."
" You're only allowed to take the things," Bai Zhantang said." You can't hurt anyone. Also, leave immediately after you get the things."”
"You're not coming with me?"
Ji Wuming was surprised.
"I want to stay and finish up."
" Otherwise, if Su Xuan finds out, will we still be able to show our faces in the martial world?" Bai Zhantang asked.”
now
Bai Zhantang only wanted Ji Wuming to leave, as far away as possible, as soon as possible, and never come back.
"You go and lure them in. I'll go to the backyard to prepare.”
Ji Wuming took out a paper bag from his pocket."This is a specially made sleeping pill. Just a little bit can knock out a cow, but don't put too much in it. Otherwise, it's easy to not wake up for the rest of your life.”
"Move quickly. Otherwise, we won't be able to escape until Su Xuan returns.”
Ji Wuming warned.
Lao Bai took the sleeping medicine and stuffed it into his pocket. He then went outside the inn. Under the eaves of the house at the corner of the street, there was a wooden shed that was originally built by Xiaomi.
After Xiao Mi left, Su Xuan tore down the shed. At this moment, there was a pile of luggage and several boxes on the ground.
Beside him sat a bride in a long red dress and a veil.
After a series of coaxing and deception, Lao Bai finally tricked her into the inn. At this time, Lao Xing and Li Dazui walked towards the inn with long knives.
"Xiao Xing, is Manager Su really not here?”
Li Dazui still couldn't forget Su Xuan because his methods were extremely cruel.
"He's really not here."
" Shopkeeper Su has been staying in the mansion during this period," Old Xing said." Even the food was sent by Old Bai."”
"And don't worry, Arrester Li. With my relationship with Brother Su, he won't make things difficult for you even if he's here.”
"That's good, that's good."
Li Dazui smiled.
The two of them walked into the inn casually, but there was no one there. Old Xing shouted,"Old Bai, where did he go?”
"He's here, he's here."
Lao Bai was comforting Tong Xiangyu on the second floor and did not hear it. Instead, Ji Wuming, who was in the backyard, heard the commotion and hurriedly ran out.
"Where did this beggar come from?"
Old Xing and Big Mouth Li were shocked and pulled out their long knives.
"Why are you at the inn? Where did Old Bai go?"
Old Xing asked.
"I... I am."
Ji Wuming stammered.
"Old Xing, why are you here?"
Fortunately, Bai Zhantang came down from upstairs and solved Ji Wuming's problem."I saw that this beggar was pitiful, so I called him in to prepare some food for him.”
"I see."
Old Xing and Big Mouth Li put away their long knives and sat down in the lobby.""Old Bai, hurry up and bring some food. Arrester Li and I have been patrolling the streets for the whole day and are starving.”
"This…"
Lao Bai looked troubled.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go."
Li Dazui was impatient.
A murderous look flashed in Ji Wuming's eyes. Lao Bai noticed it and hurriedly pulled him to the backyard.
"What do you want? They are constables."
Lao Bai's expression was solemn.
"What's wrong with the constable?"
Ji Wuming picked up the food that had been drugged and sneered,"Aren't they going to eat? Send it to them. After the medicine is turned over, they will snatch the bride's dowry.”
Without waiting for Bai Zhantang's response, he carried the dishes out. Not long after, Old Xing and Big Mouth Li lay on the ground.
"Husband, what happened to them?"
Tong Xiangyu took off her veil and came downstairs. She looked at the scene in the lobby with a puzzled expression.
"Ah, it's fine, it's fine. These two drank too much.”
Bai Zhantang hurriedly explained.
"Sister-in-law."
At this moment, a girl with a dirty face wearing coarse linen clothes rushed straight into the inn and hugged Tong Xiangyu, crying bitterly.
"Whose child?"
Lao Bai hurriedly tried to pull it away, but the girl bit him on the arm and he let out a miserable scream.
"Hurry up and let go. Are you a dog?"
After a series of screams, he finally pulled his arm out of the girl's mouth.
"Sister-in-law, my brother is gone."
The girl hugged Tong Xiangyu and cried bitterly. Lao Bai hurriedly sent them to the second floor. After a while, he found out.
The girl's name was Mo Xiaobei, the sister of Mo Xiaobao, the Sect Leader of Mount Heng. Mo Xiaobao had been thrown down from Mount Heng and was dead.
Although Bai Zhantang's identity had been exposed, Tong Xiangyu and Mo Xiaobei could not care less about him. They were hugging each other and crying.
Ji Wuming quietly pulled Old White to the first floor and asked in a low voice,""This is a good opportunity.”
"I've asked around."
Lao Bai shook his head." This is the daughter of Old Master Tong of the Hanzhong Dragon Gate Escort Agency. That girl is the sister of the leader of the Hengshan Sect."”
"The Heng Mountain Sect?"
Ji Wuming pursed his lips." The Heng Mountain Sect is long gone. Sect Leader Mo Xiaobao was thrown off a cliff.”
"Little Ji, don't blame me."
Lao Bai sighed in his heart.
Not long after, a violent explosion came from the inn, followed by a cloud of black smoke.
Even Su Xuan, who was cultivating in the Su Residence, was awakened by the explosion. He closed his eyes and spread out his mental strength. A moment later, he opened his eyes again and the corners of his lips curled up."What should have come has finally come."
"Haha, I caught the Thieving God."
In the vast night, Old Xing's arrogant voice echoed in Qixia Town for a long time.
In the inn lobby
Old Bai protected Tong Xiangyu and Mo Xiaobei as he watched Old Xing shackle Ji Wuming, who was laughing foolishly, and lead him out of the inn.
As for Big Mouth Li, he had escaped through the dog hole in the backyard after being woken up by the explosion.
"Big Brother Bai, thank you so much."
Tong Xiangyu wiped her tears and held Bai Zhantang's hand tightly.
"It's a small matter."
Lao Bai chuckled and heaved a sigh of relief. Ji Wuming had been shocked into a fool. Now, he could stay in the inn in peace.
"Are you going to Mount Heng now?"
he asked.
Tong Xiangyu shook her head." My husband is gone. Besides, Mount Heng is in such a mess now. What's there to do?"”
"Right, we can't go to Mount Heng now."
"If I hadn't run so fast, I would have been thrown down the mountain by them." Mo Xiaobei choked.”
"Xiaobei, don't be afraid. From now on, you'll follow Sister-in-law. Sister-in-law will definitely protect you.”
She hadn't even seen her husband and he was already gone. Tong Xiangyu didn't have any ideas at this time.
"Since we're not going to Mount Heng, why don't we return to Hanzhong first?”
When he said this, Bai Zhantang felt a little down.
He thought that Tong Xiangyu would agree, but she shook her head."No, I won't go back to Hanzhong even if I die.
It wasn't easy for Han to come out. You don't know what kind of life it was in Hanzhong.”
"Since you're not going to Mount Heng or back to Hanzhong, you can stay in the shop now.”
Bai Zhantang sent Tong Xiangyu and Mo Xiaobei back to their room before starting to prepare dinner.
Then, he went to the residence to deliver Su Xuan's meal.
"Big Brother Bai, where are you going?"
Tong Xiangyu and Mo Xiaobei were having dinner. When they saw him return, they asked curiously.
"Go and deliver food to our shopkeeper."
Lao Bai explained," I'm just a waiter in the inn. The shopkeeper is called Su Xuan. He lives in the courtyard next door and rarely comes to the inn.”
"How's your business?"
Tong Xiangyu suddenly asked.
"Barely, barely."
Lao Bai smiled bitterly.
How was it forced? It was obvious that there was no business. At least since he became a waiter, this inn had not received a single customer.
Seeing his expression, Tong Xiangyu had an idea and asked,""Big Brother Bai, can you let me meet your shopkeeper tomorrow?”
"This…"
Bai Zhantang hesitated.
"Big Brother Bai, I want to take over the inn. It just so happens that I don't have a place to stay right now.”
"If you think it's troublesome, then forget it."”
"It's not troublesome."
" The shopkeeper doesn't lack money," Lao Bai explained." I can't guarantee that he'll be willing to see you. But I can help you ask around tomorrow morning."”
"Thank you, Big Brother Bai."
Tong Xiangyu hurriedly said.
After dinner, she took Mo Xiaobei upstairs to rest. The next morning, Lao Bai prepared breakfast and went to the Su residence.
In the garden, under the pavilion, Su Xuan was drinking tea while Lao Bai sat on a stool with a nervous expression.
It would be a lie if he wasn't nervous. A person like Su Xuan had roamed the martial arts world and killed people as if they were numbed. Only Bai Zhantang had interacted with him for a period of time.
After getting a rough idea of Su Xuan's temper, he dared to speak, but he was still afraid of angering Su Xuan.
"Tong Xiangyu."
"The daughter of Old Master Tong of the Hanzhong Dragon Gate Escort.”
"Mo Xiaobei, the younger sister of Mo Xiaobao, the former Sect Leader of Heng Mountain.”
Su Xuan put down his teacup and rubbed his chin as he muttered,""I didn't expect the Hengshan Sect to decline so quickly. Last year, Xiao Mi said that he wanted to attend the big ceremony. I even asked Old Guo to get him an invitation.
He didn't expect that before the wedding, there would be a funeral. This Mo Xiaobei was really trash.”
old Guo
Bai Zhantang's heart skipped a beat as he listened. He tactfully shut his mouth and waited for Su Xuan's reply.
"Bring the two of them in.”
Bai Zhantang smiled and jogged out of the Su residence. Not long after, he led a woman and a girl in.
"Wow, Sister-in-law, this yard is so big!"
"Look, there's a three-story building over there.”
"There's also a garden, a bamboo forest, and a martial arts stage.”
After seeing the giant Vajra bronze man placed on the martial arts stage and the eighteen weapons on the shelf, he was shocked.
This girl's eyes lit up as she let go of Tong Xiangyu's hand and climbed up the martial arts stage happily.
"Big Brother Bai, your shopkeeper doesn't seem like an ordinary person.”
Tong Xiangyu was a little nervous." Xiaobei, come back quickly. This is someone else's house. You're not allowed to run around."”
"The shopkeeper is indeed not an ordinary person.”
Bai Zhantang nodded.
Not only was he not an ordinary person, but he was also an existence that made the martial arts world tremble in fear.
After passing through the path in the bamboo forest, the front suddenly opened up. In the middle of the emerald pond, the pavilion was covered by the bamboo forest.
A man in a white robe was sitting in the stone pavilion, drinking wine leisurely.
However, his back was facing them, so their faces could not be seen clearly.
"Will Manager Su find it hard to talk?”
Tong Xiangyu asked carefully.
"Don't worry."
"Wait here for a while, I'll go and inform them." Bai Zhantang comforted them.”
With that, he walked towards the pavilion." Shopkeeper, they're here."”
"Yes, bring him in." Su Xuan said.
Tong Xiangyu was very nervous, but Mo Xiaobei was very relaxed. Her dark eyes darted around curiously.
"This little girl Tong Xiangyu has long heard of Manager Su's great name.”
Tong Xiangyu took a deep breath and said.
"You've heard of me?"
Su Xuan turned around and raised his eyebrows. With a puzzled expression, he sized up Tong Xiangyu.
The latter's pretty face immediately turned red, but she did not lower her head. Instead, she looked at him.
"This little girl naturally knows of Manager Su's great name.”
Tong Xiangyu answered.
"Really?"
"It's true."
"Then tell me about it?"
Tong Xiangyu's mouth was agape, and her mind was in a mess. She did not know what to say next. The man in front of her did not play by the rules at all. Where had she heard of him?
It was just a formality to flatter the other party.
silence
Tong Xiangyu remained silent.
Su Xuan laughed heartily.
