Ao Sheng, who still holds the record of being the disciple of Wanbao Sect with the highest score on the Blue Star Elite Disciple Genius List, although he is now overage and no longer included in the list, with a look of deep reluctance in his eyes, at this moment he can only stand Among the disciples.
In fact, if he were not so arrogant and proposed to travel with Song Pingcun at this time, Song Pingcun would probably agree. If he still performed well along the way, Song Pingcun would also teach him how to refine everything. Unfortunately, he couldn't let go of this face at the last chance. But Feng Wulian did it in front of everyone in the sect.
"Uncle Master, my disciple Feng Wulian knows that his qualifications are shallow and he does not dare to ask for anything. He only hopes to have the opportunity to serve you more." After Feng Wulian waited for the other six people to stand up, he still knelt on the ground and kowtowed again after saying this. .
Song Pingcun turned to look at Feng Wulian's master, an old man who was in the early stage of the body connection state. Seeing that the other man was about to kneel down, he knew that the master and disciple must have discussed it. It was not Feng Wulian's own decision, so it was not considered a decision. It goes against the friendship between master and disciple. He quickly stretched out his hand to stop the old man from kneeling, "Since both your master and disciple have this plan, I can't help you."
Feng Wulian was overjoyed, and the joy on his master's face could not be concealed. If Feng Wulian achieves anything in the future, this great uncle will not be able to take away his title as master.
This small episode is both enviable and makes many people secretly regret it. Why didn't I think of it myself?
However, the fact is that there is no medicine for regret, and it is impossible for such a thing to happen again. It should be noted that he initially agreed to take seven people out to sea, but later made it clear that they were allowed to practice on their own. Many people in the sect knew this. Who would have thought When Feng Wulian came out like this, Song Pingcun actually agreed.
Many people in the Wanbaozong held various moods, watching the carriage driven by Song Pingcun and his entourage leave, with their thoughts spinning. Many people hope to follow the carriage all the way to the southeast, but the reality is that they can only think about it.
Naturally, there was no need to sit in red and green clothes and drive the carriage for a long journey this time.
Three mute slaves rode three horses, and Feng Wulian drove the car. Although many people did not understand why the young master-uncle used such a primitive method, only a few people knew that Song Pingcun left with danger along the way. It can't be too fast, and it can't completely hide its traces.
The three mute slaves and the overlord of unknown origin are an uncertain factor for Wanbao Sect. Several years later, the Divine Eagle Sect still hasn't gotten what it wants from the two men in black.
Leaving in such a big way and in danger was the most critical reason why Song Pingcun refused to follow those disciples. Therefore, it seemed that the carriage was moving as fast as possible, but in fact it was still very slow.
After three months of vigilance, they passed through Hui State, passed through Amnesty State, and arrived at Sudu City, the city where the royal family was located in Su State.
It was the first time in nine years that I was so close to my hometown. Although the journey was quiet and nothing happened. Even if there is another danger in the future, Songji Town is not a place he worries about. The peculiar Shushan forbidden area is not so friendly to cultivators.
However, Song Pingcun, who was timid about staying close to home, still asked Feng Wulian to stop traveling and make some repairs in Sudu City, which was only more than a day's journey from Songji Town.
The three mute slaves were cultivated like ordinary people, but their aura was still there, and Feng Wulian's realm was no longer in the category of ordinary cultivators in the Su Kingdom, except for the Poyuan Sect in the southeast.
The uniqueness of Su Country also makes it different from other countries. Practitioners in the entire country are not particularly feared or cared about. Although occasionally some passing cultivators still come to Su Country, they all know to try not to go east again.
No matter what the reason is, most of the cultivators in the Su Kingdom have chosen to engage in various activities in Su Capital City, where the royal family of the Su Kingdom is located. As a result, Sudu City has similar conditions to Pingyao City, where ordinary people and cultivators live almost seamlessly.
The implementation of the sect self-discipline treaty in the Su Kingdom is really strict, because the royal family of the Su Kingdom is the only royal family allowed to practice. Although it is far away from the Divine Eagle Sect, there are several members of the royal family who are registered members of the Divine Eagle Sect. Disciples, all successive kings of Su inherited the identity of a disciple of the Divine Eagle Sect, regardless of whether they practiced or not.
Song Pingcun and his party did not receive special treatment because the driver was a cultivator in the enlightenment realm, and the city entry fee and the guard's questioning tips were the same.
In a city where the royal family is located, luxury is naturally inevitable. Song Pingcun's carriage, which was customized in Pingyao City, was only above average in Sudu City. Even when he checked into the inn, it didn't attract the attention of the store owners like in other cities.
They chose an inn that looked very classy at the entrance, called "Tangcheng Yapin". It was said that the room had an underground hot spring, which was very unique.
But after the shopkeeper heard that they were renting the largest yard, he looked more like a monster.
"Sir, we don't accept spiritual stones, only gold and silver. If you don't have gold and silver, you can go to the money bank opened by the royal family to exchange it first, and don't use it to harm others." The shopkeeper with a mustache is a shrewd person at first glance. , I’ve told you all the possibilities first, so that everyone won’t be embarrassed later. Besides, Su Ducheng is not particularly afraid of cultivators, but the minimum obligation to inform is still necessary, especially since Feng Wulian does not have a Su accent.
"I know. We'll pay gold and silver." Feng Wulian was speechless. This was also the first time he had traveled such a long distance to the south of the southern continent, and it was also a very special country.
"Ten taels of silver." The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief and quoted the price. At least this is not for those cultivators who don’t know the rules. Less trouble is best for those doing business.
The price was so cheap that Feng Wulian thought he had heard it wrong, but when he took out ten taels of silver and was about to pay, he asked, "It's only ten taels per yard. Boss, your price is really cheap."
Who would have thought that just after Feng Wulian finished speaking, the boss said as if he was looking at a fool: "There are ten rooms in a courtyard, large and small. One room costs ten taels?"
Feng Wulian was so angry that he really wanted to slap him in the face, "I said we need a courtyard. You can tell me the price of a room. Can't you just say a hundred taels of silver for a courtyard?"
"That's not what you said. If you can't live in ten rooms, I can still receive other guests." The shopkeeper said another pattern that left Feng Wulian speechless. It seemed like he didn't want to make money even if he had money.
"Whether you can live in it or not, you don't have to worry about it. We will take care of this yard." Feng Wulian no longer had the patience to argue with him. When it comes to who can make money in the cultivation world, Wanbao Sect said that there are not many sects in the second place. Say first. But he didn't expect that in a common city, he would meet a businessman who was more calculating than the Wanbao Sect.
"That won't work. If there are guests staying, my store will be lively if there are many people. How can I let others think that my store is not popular?" The shopkeeper argued, and it seemed that he would rather have more people than less people.
"We'll only live in ten rooms." Fortunately, Hongcui saw that Feng Wulian couldn't handle it, so she hurried over to explain.
The shopkeeper looked over and counted them carefully. "There are only 8 of you, and you can't live in ten rooms each. Not to mention that your young master will live alone at night?"
Song Pingcun was also amused by this statement. He originally reserved the courtyard all the way, just for convenience, but he didn't expect to meet an innkeeper who was extremely calculating. He said, "My two pets will live alone." Song Pingcun pointed at the big black dog behind him and the "big black cat" Bawangxiu at his feet.
"Does this cat and dog also have to live alone?"
"Is there a problem?"
"No problem, no problem, but you have to calculate the money separately. Ten rooms are one hundred taels. The standard daily consumption of each room is five taels. Ten rooms are fifty taels. Drinks are extra, and room cleaning tips are extra. , need other services..." The shopkeeper may be used to it. He paused here, looked at Liu Yiyi next to Song Pingcun, and then said: "I don't think you need it either. It's exactly one hundred and fifty taels a day. , the deposit is two hundred taels, please pay three hundred and fifty taels of silver first."
After listening to the boss's barrage of quotes, they understood why the boss was unwilling to pay to keep the room vacant. The room fee is the same, but there are fewer people consuming it, so the income will naturally be less. Although they entered Sudu City in the morning and had a few hours until they checked in at night, they really didn't understand why the boss was so sure that the inn was overcrowded every day, which aroused Song Pingcun's curiosity.
But the curiosity didn't last for a moment when a voice called from behind: "Boss."
"Miss Su! Why are you here so early today?" The boss was not in a hurry to collect the money, and walked out of the counter quickly, with a smile on his face.
"If you have nothing to do today, come ahead and make arrangements. Remember, don't bark when there are people around. I am a maid, what's your name? Miss, you want me to be punished!" A woman in gorgeous clothes passed by Song Pingcun, walking lightly. , although she said she asked the boss not to call her miss, but from that state and look, it was not clear from that angle that she really didn’t want the boss to call her that.
This seems to be a bit of a cover-up.
