A good night's sleep.
When She Chu woke up, Yan Qing was no longer in bed. She rubbed her eyes and looked around the room. Everything in the room was as before, except for Wang Long, who was sleeping on the floor holding the quilt, with half of his body almost falling to the ground.
She Chu yawned slightly and got up to get dressed.
When she got up, she found that there was ready-made water beside the dressing table, and the kettle on the shelf was kept at a constant temperature with a fire spell.
Seeing this, She Chu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and subconsciously looked at the place where Yan Qing slept yesterday.
To be honest, this night was more peaceful than She Chu imagined.
She thought that after seeing Yan Qing's appearance, the guests in the lobby last night would cause some trouble at night. She didn't expect to be able to have a peaceful night. It seemed that the businessman who was scared by her last night did have some status in Junction City.
In addition, Yan Qing's sleeping appearance is also surprisingly good.
She slept peacefully all night, almost thinking that there was just an incense burner exuding a faint cold fragrance around her. When she woke up in the morning, She Chu almost thought she was sleeping alone, except for the slightly sunken quilt beside her, indicating that someone was lying here last night.
Put aside these thoughts of yes and no. She Chu simply washed herself with the clean water Yan Qing left for her.
After washing and before going out, She Chu saw Wang Long who was about to lie on the ground again. After thinking about it, she walked over, wrapped him up and put him on the bed together with the quilt.
Wang Long slept really deeply. He didn't even wake up after She Chu's troubles. He just muttered "sister".
She Chu heard this amusingly, and guessed that Wang Long was probably a young boy at home, and was used to being protected by his brothers and sisters, so that as a Wang family, he could still have a sincere heart.
Thinking that she could be considered his great-grandfather in terms of seniority, She Chu became somewhat more patient. When he opened the door and went out, he deliberately slowed down his movements so as not to disturb the tired young man.
It was still early to leave the room.
The lobby was not as lively as last night, and there was only one table of guests sitting there.
She Chu flexed his fingers and called the boss as he went downstairs: "Boss, is there any breakfast? I want one."
She didn't want her to make a sound, which would alarm the guests and the boss at the same time.
The boss, who was hiding behind the counter and did not dare to show his anger, saw She Chu coming downstairs in a grand manner. He quickly greeted her and asked her to whisper with a wink: "I know, I'll bring it to you when I get back. Go back quickly!"
She Chu felt curious when she heard her deliberately lowered voice.
Is there anything special about the guests downstairs? Is he so valuable that when he is here, the guests next to him can’t even sit down?
She Chu was curious, and she couldn't help but take a second look.
Just this glance made her stop in her tracks and became silent.
When the boss saw that she hadn't left yet, he hurried out from the counter in a hurry and came to the stairs in two steps. He pulled her sleeves and tried to pull her back: "Didn't I tell you to see you off? Go back quickly!"
She Chu glanced at the boss and saw that she was really nervous, so he took the initiative to explain: "It's okay, boss, I know this person. He will treat me to a meal."
The boss was startled when he heard this. Just when he was about to say, "Stop joking," he heard the guest who had been sitting for a long time toast She Chu a cup of tea from a distance and said with a smile: "Good morning, Ah Chu. I slept well last night. ?"
She Chu nodded to the boss, walked around her and walked to the central table.
Qi Fuzhou, dressed in a Chinese robe, poured a cup of tea for She Chu leisurely, raised his hand and said, "It's all your favorite food, eat first."
She Chu was not polite to Qi Fuzhou either.
Under the shocked look in her boss's eyes, she casually lifted up her robe and sat down, looking at the snacks on the table - they were all still steaming.
She Chu would not think that Qi Fuzhou had determined the time for her to get up. She picked a crystal dumpling, put it into a bowl, and asked casually: "Which round is this?"
Qi Fuzhou smiled and said: "The third round. You woke up a little later than I thought."
She Chu finished eating the crystal dumplings and picked another piece of plum blossom cake: "Things at Shushishan are quite troublesome. I'm a little tired."
After that, she saw that her boss was still looking at her in shock, and asked Qi Fuzhou: "What did you do after you came here? Why is she so scared?"
Qi Fuzhou said "Hmm" and said, "I come as the Lord of Danxiao Palace."
She Chu paused while eating: "..."
Qi Fuzhou said more thoughtfully: "I also bought all the rooms in this inn. Since midnight yesterday, only the three of you are staying in this inn."
She Chu silently finished chewing the food in his mouth and said with emotion: "No wonder it was so quiet last night. It turned out to be your handiwork."
Qi Fuzhou scooped a bowl of porridge for her and reminded her: "Speak slowly, don't choke."
Seeing She Chu take the porridge and take a few sips, he continued: "The border area is not peaceful. After receiving your letter, I will naturally come to help you as soon as possible."
She Chu finished the porridge and wiped the corners of his mouth with Qi Fuzhou's handkerchief.
She raised her eyes to look at her little boy, knowing him very well and said, "Don't you really want to know the progress of the story as soon as possible?"
Qi Fuzhou smiled and looked at him with his chin in his hands: "What are you doing so clearly without conflict?"
She Chu understood Qi Fanzhou’s bad taste quite well.
He always wakes up earlier than a chicken and goes to bed later than a dog when it comes to things he is interested in. Although this metaphor is a bit crude, it is very appropriate to describe Qi Fuzhou's curiosity.
As a child, every time he succeeded in a prank, he would be around to watch what happened. According to what he said, he wanted to control the game within a controllable range, but in She Chu's view, this was all his bad taste.
When he grew up, Qi Fuzhou stopped playing pranks and did bigger and more powerful things. The Prince of Qiongcang still thinks that he is a gentleman who restrains himself and returns to propriety. When the wine ministers of Gengzi Fairy Mansion were happy, they would put their arms around his shoulders and call him "little nephew". He sees Siyou's situation more clearly than She Chu, the person in the situation, and when he wants to scheme against someone, even Yu Jing can't avoid it.
All I can say is that fortunately they are friends, close friends, never enemies.
She Chu put down his chopsticks and told him about Shu Shushan: "You really think highly of me, and you don't think I will be in danger even if you seal my seven meridians and eight meridians."
Qi Fuzhou affirmed: "With Yan Qing here, Shushu Mountain will not bleed. The biggest danger for you when you enter the mountain is to expose your identity, not just to be in danger." He smiled and asked She Chu, "Are you in danger?"
Of course not.
But that's her luck!
She Chu originally wanted to talk to Qi Fuzhou about the fact that he was trapped in the fog, so that he could change his disorder. But when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back.
Who knows if Qi Fuzhou has counted the mist?
Maybe he found out about Shan Mei's existence early on, so he felt free to let her go?
She Chu closed his mouth and looked at Qi Fuzhou suspiciously. She asked: "How much do you know about Shusushan?"
Qi Fuzhou did not hide anything from She Chu: "There are many. There are disciples from Danxiao Palace who entered by mistake and were rescued later. They are the endangered corpses that he reported to Gengzi Academy."
She Chu clenched his fist with his right hand and hammered it on his left palm: "You really know the existence of Shan Mei!"
Qi Fuzhou blinked and said, "Things like the mountain charm shouldn't be able to hurt you. It doesn't matter if you say it or not, right?"
She Chu said: "She is not very powerful, but do you know what her purpose is and what she has in her hands?"
She Chu quickly told Qi Fuzhou everything about Huang Qu, and Qi Fuzhou's expression gradually became serious.
He thought for a moment and then said: "As you said, there must be other forces behind this mountain charm. Huang Qu can only attract diseases. She is a mountain spirit. What does she want with this thing?"
She Chu nodded and said, "I think so too. In addition, the disease caused by Huang Qu has limited impact on the two races of gods and demons, and the human race is the hardest hit. They want Huang Qu - I am a little worried about the human world."
She could only tell Qi Fuzhou that among the two races of gods and demons, they were the only two who had a constant relationship with the human world.
Qi Fuzhou lost his playful expression and nodded in agreement with She Chu: "I understand. I will send someone to contact Chicheng to remind them to be careful. Fortunately, Huang Qu has not yet appeared, so we still have time to investigate."
She Chu had always trusted Qi Fanzhou's ability, so she felt relieved when he saw him take the job.
In addition, there is also the breath of living beings.
She Chu thought for a while but didn't say it directly. He just asked Qi Fuzhou: "Do you know Xingxiu Pavilion?"
Qi Fuzhou looked surprised when he heard this, and asked, "Why did you suddenly mention this organization?"
She Chu said: "Isn't this the entrance to Junction City? It is the largest force in Junction City. I am inevitably a little curious."
Qi Fuzhou laughed, obviously not believing what She Chu said, but he still told She Chu what he knew.
"Xingxiu Pavilion appeared about two hundred years ago. Since it refused to accept anyone who came, it accepted any business and sold any information and treasures, so it expanded very quickly. Junction City is said to be their birthplace, but it is only more popular than other places. It's just more powerful, no one knows its origin, and its owner is even more mysterious."
"Master?" She Chu asked curiously.
Qi Fuzhou said: "This man calls himself the Nine Spirit King. He only appears when the treasure is being auctioned in Xingxiu Pavilion. Very few people in the Three Realms have seen him."
She Chu let out a "ha" when she heard the name, and she sighed: "There are nine fields in the earth, nine spirits in the sky, the Nine Spirits King, does this person think he is the next Wang Jiuye?"
Qi Fuzhou: "Maybe he will be the next Emperor Juntian."
She Chu couldn't help but said: "It's really crazy."
Qi Fuzhou narrowed his eyes. He gave She Chu some tea and said, "You can't create Xingxu Pavilion's industry without being arrogant. What, you want to see him?"
She Chu shook his head: "I'm just a little curious, so I asked casually."
She had almost finished her breakfast, and there was still a lot left on the table. Just when She Chu was thinking about whether to pack some for Wang Long, Qi Fuzhou said leisurely:
"Okay, now it's my turn to ask."
"——What's going on between you and Yan Qing?"
She Chu choked on her throat with a sip of tea. Qi Fuzhou couldn't help but laugh when he saw her coughing. He said with a smile: "I just asked about the situation, and I didn't want to get to the bottom of it. Even if I failed, I wouldn't be embarrassed to say it. ?”
She Chu's face turned red. She pointed behind Qi Fuzhou. If Qi Fuzhou realized something, he turned around.
Outside the inn, Yan Qing was carrying a basket of steamed buns.
He stood outside the inn, his eyes slowly falling from Qi Fuzhou to She Chu, and finally stopped at the half-used food on the table.
She Chu finally calmed down. She tried to lighten the atmosphere and took the initiative to say hello: "Miss Yan, you are back."
Yan Qing's eyes moved away from the table. He said "hmm" as usual, walked in with the buns in hand, and slowly opened them in front of She Chu.
The snow-white meat buns were steaming hot. Yan Qing said, "I went to buy you some breakfast. Do you want some?"
