It was deathly silent in the inn lobby.
There were not many people around, so the waiter secretly slept on a table in the corner. The shopkeeper seemed tired of his shiny abacus and dozed off at the counter.
There was only one table of guests, which was also very strange.
Four people sat around a round table, two men and one woman staring intently at a young man with white hair and a face as swollen as a pig's head.
They are Jiang Yunqing, Li Xingyun, Lu Linxuan and Zhang Zifan.
Zhang Zifan gently stroked his swollen face, and the slightest exertion caused bursts of burning pain.
However, no matter how painful it was, under the gaze of those three pairs of eyes that seemed to be eating people, he did not dare to make any sound, for fear that some irritable brother would jump up and beat him again.
You know, the sealed acupuncture points on his body have not yet been unlocked.
Finally, it was Jiang Yunqing who broke the dead silence.
"Snapped!"
Staring at Zhang Zifan, he slammed his palms on the table and shouted sternly: "Tell me, what is your last name and where is your surname?"
"Little, my little brother's surname is Zhang, his name is Zifan, and he is from Kaifeng!"
Zhang Zifan trembled all over, his body straightened subconsciously, but his voice did not dare to make any mistakes.
This time, he was the first to make mistakes, not to mention that he was outnumbered at this time.
"Ahem!" Li Xingyun pinched his throat and lowered his tone, and his face became serious and cold.
"Kaifeng people, what are you doing in Yuzhou City?"
It was obvious that he was imitating Uncle Yang. Although he only had the physical form, it was enough to show off.
Zhang Zifan didn't know whether he was intimidated by Li Xingyun's pretentiousness, or whether he was honest and told everything he knew.
"My little brother ran out with his family on his back this time. Because it was the first time he went out, he lost his way and came all the way to Yuzhou City. I'm really ashamed!"
Looking at Lu Linxuan with erratic eyes, Zhang Zifan lowered his head in shame, and asked tentatively in a very weak voice: "Um, did I really molest this girl in the street?"
"Snapped!"
A slap on the already swollen face was really painful.
"How dare you say that!"
Lu Linxuan waved his hand, and it actually hurt a little when he hit the bumpy face.
"Don't dare, don't dare!"
Zhang Zifan covered his face and choked, but he dared not speak out in anger.
This girl looked quite quiet and pretty, but she didn't expect that she was as violent as the brother in red.
Just when Zhang Zifan was feeling aggrieved in his heart, a man walked in at the door of the inn carrying a long wooden box.
After looking around for a while, he walked towards the only table with guests and placed the long wooden box on the table.
Lu Linxuan looked up at the person who came, but recognized him at a glance.
"Hey! You're not the one from the pawn shop..."
The guy didn't wait for Lu Linxuan to finish speaking. He raised his head slightly and scanned the four people with his eyes: "My master said, please come to the stone bridge in the north of the city to talk!"
"Who is your master?" Zhang Zifan asked sideways.
"my home······"
Seeing Zhang Zifan's pig-headed face, the waiter was obviously shocked.
And in this moment of confusion, a dart struck, and it penetrated into the back of the man's heart with lightning speed.
"Bang!"
The man was pushed forward by the remaining force of the dart and fell to the ground hard.
Li Xingyun quickly ran to the door to check the situation. Suddenly he felt an afterimage flash beside him, but it was Jiang Yunqing who had already rushed out of the door.
Before the two breaths had settled, Jiang Yunqing's figure had disappeared on the street outside the door.
After a while, Jiang Yunqing entered the inn carrying a ghost-faced killer in black who looked like a dead dog.
"Xuanming Sect!" Li Xingyun and Zhang Zifan said in unison when they saw the person Jiang Yunqing was holding.
Jiang Yunqing shook his head: "I didn't say anything and committed suicide by taking poison!"
With that said, he threw the body of the black-clothed ghost-faced killer with the guy. He looked at the table and saw that the wooden box had been opened.
"Well, what's in the box?" Jiang Yunqing leaned over and asked.
Lu Linxuan murmured three words: "My sword!"
At this time, Jiang Yunqing also saw the wooden box. There was only a scabbard inside, but the sword inside had disappeared.
"What's going on?" Jiang Yunqing looked at Li Xingyun in confusion.
A stern look flashed in Li Xingyun's eyes, "Our whereabouts are already under the control of the Xuanming Sect. Sending the scabbard is a warning to us not to run away, but to die obediently!"
"Then senior brother, shall we go?"
When encountering this situation, Lu Linxuan was the first to be at a loss and looked at Jiang Yunqing with confused eyes.
Hearing this, Li Xingyun also looked over.
On weekdays, in order to show the majesty of his senior brother in front of his junior sisters, he is quite assertive.
But when Jiang Yunqing was present, it was difficult to overcome his dependence on Jiang Yunqing.
After all, both Li Xingyun and Lu Linxuan were raised by Jiang Yunqing, so a sense of dependence is inevitable.
"Then let's see the Xuanming Sect's methods! Don't we still have helpers?"
Jiang Yunqing grinned and looked at Zhang Zifan meaningfully.
"Him?" Li Xingyun and Lu Linxuan tilted their heads and looked at Zhang Zifan.
"Me?" Zhang Zifan also pointed at himself in shock.
"Yeah." Jiang Yunqing nodded, patted Zhang Zifan on the shoulder and said, "You are good at martial arts. This time, you can just think of it as redemption for your sins. Is that okay?"
"But I..."
Zhang Zifan was about to say that his acupuncture points were still sealed, but suddenly he felt that his internal energy was unimpeded.
Was it just now? Zhang Zifan thought of Jiang Yunqing's actions just now.
There was a sudden storm in my heart. This person is really unfathomable. But he has such strength, why do you want to drag him with this strong man?
"As it should be, as it should be!"
Although Zhang Zifan had some suspicions in his mind, he didn't dare to show it, so he had to agree.
"Haha, good! This is for you."
Jiang Yunqing's smile was even brighter than before, and he took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve and put it into Zhang Zifan's hand.
"This is?"
Zhang Zifan spread his hands, glanced at the porcelain bottle in his hand, and looked at Jiang Yunqing doubtfully.
Jiang Yunqing squinted his eyes and explained with a smile: "Healing medicine, applied externally to remove blood stasis, taken internally to aphrodisiac!"
"Thank you!" Zhang Zifan cupped his fists and saluted, automatically blocking the second half of the sentence.
"Ahem!"
As soon as Zhang Zifan finished speaking, Jiang Yunqing heard Li Xingyun cough as if he had tuberculosis.
Jiang Yunqing frowned and looked over, only to see Lu Linxuan blushing with embarrassment and looking away, as if he couldn't bear to look directly.
Li Xingyun said with a hint of sarcasm in his seriousness: "Ahem, senior brother, junior sister is here! Pay attention to propriety, pay attention to propriety!"
Jiang Yunqing looked solemn, raised his fingers and gave Li Xingyun a head start.
Then, he said calmly: "What did I say? It's just a normal introduction to the functions of the medicine. Nebula, you can't lead Lin Xuan to a wrong place!"
"I······"
Li Xingyun covered his head, but didn't know what to say.
