The noise in the house made the outside extremely deserted, making the originally gentle moonlight look miserable.
Life is lonely, and life is lonely. Even if a long or short life is full of friends, a heart will always be in a corner that no one knows, soaking in loneliness in idle time.
"Dear guest, but the food is not to your liking?" Wu Fan was thinking wildly when he saw Tao Yong put a towel on his shoulders and walked over rubbing his hands.
Wu Fan shook his head and smiled: "Maybe I have been alone for a long time, and I feel a little out of place. I want to go outside for some peace and quiet..."
"My guest, you are really good at joking..." Of course Tao Yong didn't believe it,
"I've seen a lot of guests of all kinds, and I can see that they really respect you, and it's not just because of the meal! I see their attitude and want to enshrine you, why are they not gregarious?"
"Really?" Wu Fan didn't say anything more, just said casually.
"Of course!" As he said that, Tao Yong kicked his feet and turned over to sit on the railing. Although he was still a head shorter than Wu Fan, he could still be at eye level with him.
"Dear guest, Tao Yong, are you brave enough to say something that you don't know whether to say or not?"
"If you have something to say, it doesn't hurt to say it."
"Dear guest, you are still young. There are many paths to choose from, but the League of Heroes should be an outside choice!" Tao Yong sighed,
"Although I don't know why you missed this opportunity, it's not a bad thing. I just hope that today, my guest, you won't come again next year..." Wu Fan was slightly startled when he heard this. The words of Tao Yong and the fat guard were so consistent. , as if they had planned it in advance.
"You're an interesting guy, you actually turn your elbows outward." Wu Fan joked casually without expressing his attitude.
"Dear guest, you misunderstood..." Tao Yong quickly waved his hand to explain, but almost fell off the railing. He hurriedly held on to the pillar and shook his head: "Tao Yong is just an ordinary guy, not a member of the League of Heroes."
"What about them? Aren't they the ordinary guys you call them?" Wu Fan pursed his lips and looked into the distance, only to see Qiao Luo and Qiao Gu wilting at the door.
"Ahem, distinguished guest, how do you know?" Tao Yong smiled awkwardly,
"The two of them are purely accidental, and there are only two of them in our Luan Tower. Oh no...it should be the three of them who are special..."
"Three?" Wu Fan squinted his eyes and looked, but did not see the third figure. Could it be that the two in front of him have some special abilities, such as
"Raise a glass to the bright moon, and look at the shadows to form three people."? As Qian Qianwan said, Wu Fan looked above his head, but he didn't think that any figure would descend from the bright moon for no reason.
"Yes, I still remember that the three of them almost came here together, but suddenly one day, this third person disappeared without a trace! Some people said they saw him joining the trial, and some said he We have already infiltrated the alliance leader, but I don’t know the specific details..." Wu Fan has decided to attack the League of Heroes, so the more knowledge he has about it, the better.
"It sounds like you know this person quite well. Can you tell me his name?"
"He..." Tao Yong opened his mouth, then dipped his fingers in his mouth and started writing on the railing.
But before Tao Yong finished writing, Wu Fan suddenly widened his eyes and understood the sentence about the three-eared mouse.
"Everyone has a secret" means, murmuring: "I see..."
"When was the last time you saw him?" Wu Fan asked as he watched the words on the railing gradually dry up.
"About two years ago, or three years ago..." Tao Yong frowned and recalled,
"I only remember that it snowed heavily that day, and it snowed all day and all night. I wonder if your distinguished guests have any impressions?" Wu Fan shook his head and smiled bitterly when he heard this. At that time, he was still in the underworld, and the only difference he could feel was black and white.
If Tao Yong hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten that there are differences in weather in the mortal world. He has never felt rain, rain or snow in the underworld for so many years.
Seeing Wu Fan shaking his head, Tao Yong continued: "Because there was a sudden snowstorm that day and there was not much business, Luanlou did not open... It was a break in the wind and snow at night. When I went to clean up the dishes, I saw the man in front of the house. The food was not moved at all, and then I realized that he had disappeared.”
"Then have you ever looked for him?"
"Sigh... Even though the blizzard had almost stopped at that time, not even a single footprint was left on the snow. Even if we wanted to look for it, we were powerless!" Tao Yong sighed.
"I understand." Wu Fan nodded slightly. It makes sense when you think about it. After all, even the Cheetou Rat has such abilities. I think the Heavenly Rat must be strong rather than weak.
He knocked on the railing and continued: "Who else knows about this?"
"Apart from a few of us, the only ones who know about it are the distinguished guests." Tao Yong clasped his five fingers, then clenched his fist.
"Of course, apart from distinguished guests, no more people will know." Tao Yong expressed Wu Fan's concerns in advance.
After staying in the night for too long, Wu Fan felt a little chilly and was about to turn around and go back.
"By the way, anyway, I have to thank you for the map." The map was relatively well preserved and was returned by Wu Fan.
"Why don't you, distinguished guest, leave this map? Maybe your friends can come in handy..." Tao Yong raised his eyebrows with a smirk on his face.
Wu Fan didn't understand what Tao Yong meant, but handed the map back: "I have memorized the marks on the map, and there is no need to keep them."
"That's true..." Tao Yong said thoughtfully,
"After all, be careful and sail the ship for thousands of years. It would be bad if you leave any clues. You are still a distinguished guest and you are thoughtful..." As he said that, Tao Yong took the map and looked at it inadvertently, and then his expression suddenly stiffened.
"Tao Yong, do you still have the money bag I had with you? Tao Yong?" Seeing Tao Yong didn't respond, Wu Fan raised his voice again.
"Ah! Here, here! What are your orders, distinguished guest?" Tao Yong's smile was a little forced.
"Tao Yong, are you okay?" Wu Fan suddenly felt strange when he saw the other person, and Wu Fan asked curiously.
"No, it's okay." Tao Yong grinned. Wu Fan repeated his previous words. Tao Yong handed the money bag to Wu Fan without any hesitation, then jumped off the railing and turned around to leave.
"Wait a minute!" Wu Fan took off the rag from Tao Yong's shoulder and emptied the money bag in his hand.
"This purse is very important to me, so I will wrong you first."
"No grievance... no grievance..." Holding the rag with the money in his hand, Tao Yong forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, and returned to Luan Tower with his head hanging down.
Although Wu Fan was surprised, he didn't think much about it and held the money bag tightly in his hands. Back at Luan Tower, Wu Fan came to the kitchen when no one was around and threw the money bag in his hand into the stove.
Seeing the money bag disappear in the rising fire, Wu Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Destroyed the past
"Evidence of crime", Wu Fan prepared to return to the box, but on the way back, there was a noise in the box next to him.
"Seeing how proud you are, coming to us this time shouldn't be as simple as eating and drinking, right?"
"Hahahaha... Brother is really a god, you can see all this!" The joy in another voice could not be concealed,
"I have already taken care of the matters entrusted by the Deputy Alliance Leader!" Wu Fan didn't want to ask about matters that had nothing to do with him, but the words "Deputy Alliance Leader" made him stop in his tracks.
He once had an affair with Hua Zhi
"One-sided fate", I also learned from the guard that this so-called deputy leader is the Hua Zhi of Bixia Valley.
Hearing the bad reputation, Wu Fan clenched his fist. He didn't expect that there would be people from the Hero League coming here to drink and have fun during the trial. It seemed that the atmosphere of the Hero League was not as described by the outside world.
"Oh? Let's talk about it." The words deputy leader also aroused the interest of another person. This person originally planned to show off, so he didn't show off: "I have already completed what the deputy leader ordered before!"
"Pfft! Cough cough cough cough..." The man opposite choked and coughed at these words, and spit out a mouthful of wine.
"You...when did this happen?"
"Actually, I have arranged for that person a long time ago, but I never had the chance because of the alliance leader's gaze." The man seemed to have guessed that the other party would react like this, and said with a proud smile.
Because it was getting late and there were not many guests left in the hall, Wu Fan simply leaned in the darkness behind the pillars and listened attentively.
Although this man drank a lot and his speech was slurred, fortunately his thinking was still clear and Wu Fan could understand what he meant.
Wu Fan didn't hear clearly what day it was, but according to this person, when he returned from an outing that day, he happened to see a young Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe who looked nervous. Every time he saw a passerby, he would come up to him, as if he was in trouble. What to sell.
It's just that the passers-by either yelled at him or ignored him, making the young Taoist priest's face look even more ugly.
Out of curiosity, and because even if he went back early, he would be assigned other things, the man did not hurry, but walked in the direction of the little Taoist priest.
Perhaps because he had suffered too many blows, the young Taoist priest just glanced at the visitor and then lowered his head, depressed.
Seeing that the young Taoist priest ignored him, the man could only take the initiative and ask what the young Taoist priest was doing just now.
The young Taoist priest was used to being rejected, so he took out a scroll from his clothes and unfolded it in his hand.
I don’t know how long this scroll has been stored. It smells rotten, and it keeps falling off as the young Taoist priest scrolls it. It’s no wonder that it was disliked by others before.
The man held back the smell and pinched his nose, but his brows furrowed. Although he didn't know much about the talisman, the aura on it seemed familiar. He had been lucky enough to feel it on the leader of the alliance!
It's a pity that he doesn't know much about the product. Although he knows that this thing is extraordinary, he doesn't know how to use it. He just casually asked the price and turned to leave.
When the young Taoist priest saw this, he thought that the man was too expensive, so he gritted his teeth and offered this gift to the man as long as he would let him have a full meal.
Although this man was not a bad person, seeing that the little Taoist priest was handsome, personable and harmless, he did not ask for his charm and took him behind him, and found a tavern to rest.
After three rounds of drinking, the young Taoist priest was so drunk that he told everything about himself.
It turns out that he was originally a disciple of Taiyi Pavilion, but he ran away privately because his cultivation was too hard and he couldn't bear it. Because all his money had been squandered, he took advantage of the night he was on duty to steal some things and prepare to exchange them for travel expenses. However, he did not expect that he had not earned half a copper since he came out... At that time, this man was suffering from the inappropriate orders of the deputy leader. The candidate, his eyes lit up after hearing this, and he used this matter as a blackmail to get the young Taoist priest to help.
If he can join the trial and bring out the information the deputy leader needs, not only will he not tell the truth, but he will also reward him with a large sum of money!
Under threats and temptations, the young Taoist priest felt that he was just passing on a message to others and had nothing to lose, so he agreed without hesitation, then took the travel expenses given by the person and went home to wait for the news...
