The agreement with Lin Yuqin was made as early as the Fuyun Sect. The two agreed that no matter who arrived at the Hongchen Inn in Chu State first, they would wait for the other's arrival at the door on the first and fifteenth nights of the Lunar New Year.
But Chen Mo was not sure whether she could keep her promise.
After all, the gap was too long. It took three months to get along with Chu Wushuang. In addition, the death of his master and the changes in Chu Capital... gave him an illusory feeling of being in a dream.
Thinking of her, Chen Mo felt a wave of regret in his heart.
Even though she ran out to try to stay, Chu Wushuang, who had been lingering for another night, finally chose to leave.
There's nothing we can do about it. Both of us have things we don't want to let go of, so we can only let time change everything.
"It may also be to dilute all feelings..."
Chen Mo looked at her retreating figure and thought melancholy in his heart.
Yesterday can't be left behind. Now that it's done, there's no need to think about those messy things.
Chen Mo also wanted to repair his relationship with Lin Yuqin, so he asked around everyone he met, and finally learned about a famous gourmet place in the secular world.
He found a special delicacy in Zhanwu County. It was fried with oily dough embedded with sweet stuffing. It was shaped like a hexagonal lotus. It was called Lotus Crisp. Chen Mo also ate a few of them. They tasted pretty good. They were used to treat her. enough.
After calculating the approximate date, Yujian arrived at the inn on the first day of the month. As the sun set, Chen Mo found a bench in front of the inn and sat down. Pedestrians and monks passed by from time to time.
Most pedestrians chose to ignore him, and the monks in the Qi training stage couldn't see through his cultivation. Only a few cultivators of the same foundation level looked at him curiously.
What surprised Chen Mo was that there was a monk in the Danjie stage near the inn. He was a white-haired old man who looked like a mandrill. His terrifying face made others hide away. When he got closer, he took a look at Chen Mo. He said jokingly:
"My little friend, you are so excited. You actually guard the door of a secular inn. I really admire you. I admire you!!"
Chen Mo felt the pressure from the old man at the core formation stage. He didn't know if he was looking for trouble, so he didn't dare to talk back or say a word. He smiled at him and pretended to be fooled.
The old man wanted to say something more, but seeing Chen Mo's honest and courteous appearance, he didn't say anything after all, and left slowly, shaking his head.
This was just one of the small episodes. After that, many monks came in and out of the inn, mostly in pairs, which made Chen Mo feel quite confused.
"Why are there so many monks gathering in the secular world? Is it possible that something big is going to happen again?"
"If it doesn't work, I'll ask someone later."
Chen Mo was thinking like this when he saw two women suddenly walking out of the inn. They ignored him sitting inconspicuously in front of the door and left the attic.
He recognized Lin Yuqin's profile. Chen Mo stood up in a hurry and greeted tentatively: "Lin Yuqin?"
Sure enough, the two female cultivators turned back at the same time. One of them looked like Lin Yuqin. She turned around in confusion and suddenly saw Chen Mo behind her. She couldn't help but shout in surprise: "Brother Chen?"
Almost coherently, she ran over to him ecstatically, as if she wanted to hug him.
Chen Mo just said goodbye to Chu Wushuang, and they were hugging each other right here. Needless to say, he couldn't even get through this in his own heart, so he subconsciously wanted to run away quickly.
But Chen Mo noticed that the other pleasant-looking female cultivator had been watching curiously. She must be Lin Yuqin's good friend. Is it too much to spoil her interest in front of her companion?
After such a moment of hesitation, a soft fragrance rushed into his arms. It was impossible to push away, and it was impossible to hug. Chen Mo had to lower his hands to try to make it less awkward for outsiders.
In just this moment, Chen Mo saw the female cultivator's face darken.
Lin Yuqin said: "Brother Chen, you came so late!"
"Something happened on the road, which delayed some time."
"Ah?! Did you meet a demonic monk?"
"Well...that's right."
Chen Mo thought about it and realized that he was not lying in his explanation. He had indeed fought with several demon cultivators and almost lost his life in it.
"Hey! There is a big living person here. If you two want to have a whisper, can you go back and talk?"
Wearing long purple hair like a waterfall, the female cultivator swayed over arrogantly. Her facial features were extremely delicate, and the feathers hanging on her chest stood up, setting off her plump and round figure. Her pair of slender legs attracted many From the male gaze, this is a rare beauty. To be honest, Chen Mo thinks she is more beautiful than Lin Yuqin.
Of course, this has nothing to do with him.
"Ah, yes. Brother Chen, let me introduce you." Lin Yuqin's face turned red and she quickly let go of Chen Mo: "This is Zhong Qing from Yan Yuezong of the Chu State. She is also going to the Demonic Island. We met at the inn of."
"Qingmei, she is the person I was talking about, her name is Chen Mo." Lin Yuqin pointed at Chen Mo and introduced her to her.
"Hello, Miss Zhong."
Zhong Qing wore a gauze skirt that attracted people's imagination, especially the deep chest, which was enough to take away the soul of some people. Chen Mo could only look into her eyes and said.
"Are you the Chen Mo that Sister Qin mentioned?"
Zhong Qing glanced at him and said with a hint of ridicule: "When I saw him today, he didn't look very good."
The atmosphere suddenly became stiff. Lin Yuqin didn't know why the good Zhong Qing suddenly spoke like this. Could it be that the two of them had known each other before, and was there any unspeakable celebration?
Chen Mo chuckled and said, "My parents gave me this face. It's a bit unsightly. Miss Zhong, don't worry about it."
"I mind a bit." Zhong Qing continued: "The Mr. Shao who lives next door to Sister Qin is much more handsome than you, but his cultivation level is a little lower. He has only reached the fifteenth level of Qi Refining, but I can't tell you how many years it will take." The foundation is almost established.”
Chen Mo didn't say anything after hearing this. Instead, Lin Yuqin's face turned pale in an instant and she said hurriedly: "Brother Chen! Please listen to my explanation of this matter..."
"Sister Qin, what are you explaining?"
Zhong Qing glanced at Chen Mo with disgust, and angrily kicked away the stool he was sitting on.
There was a bang on the window of the inn, and all the drinkers who heard the commotion ran out. Almost all of them were monks from the cultivation world. Men and women came out in pairs to watch the fun. There were about twenty or thirty people.
In full view of everyone, Zhong Qing snorted coldly and turned around to leave. Lin Yuqin didn't know why she was crazy, which made Chen Mo lose face when he first arrived. She was so angry that she was trembling all over: "Brother Chen! Don't be angry, I... ..I....."
Although Chen Mo felt a little embarrassed, he still forced a smile and said: "It's okay, it's okay. She is thinking about you. I'm not angry. Just go and explain to her."
Lin Yuqin shook her head and said: "I'm sorry, Brother Chen. I didn't know she was such a person. I will call her back to apologize to you now..."
More and more people were watching the fun, and Chen Mo sighed. Although it was difficult to say it, he still whispered a few words in Lin Yuqin's ear, and then she understood what happened, and said with a face full of shame: "I'm sorry. ...I’ve caused you trouble again.”
"It's okay, go ahead."
Chen Mo waved to everyone: "Everyone, please leave, the excitement is gone." Some people started to boo, followed by a burst of laughter, and many monks with foundation building looked at it in amusement. Chen Mo walked a few steps, picked up the bench, and sent it back. In the inn, a group of people stared at his movements.
"Shopkeeper, come to a room." Chen Mo's voice was not loud, but it was enough for the people around to hear.
The shopkeeper is also a person in the world of cultivation, with a cultivation level of tenth level of Qi refining. Standing at the front desk, he naturally witnessed all this.
Although he didn't know Chen Mo's cultivation level, he really admired Chen Mo's face. He felt nervous when he heard the inquiry. Don't do it yourself! He quickly explained: "I'm sorry, fellow Taoist, there are too many fellow Taoists here, and the room is already full. I'm afraid there is no room for the time being."
"Can't you add spirit stones?"
The shopkeeper said with a smile on his face: "Fellow Taoist, this is not a problem with the spirit stone..."
"That's it..." Chen Mo said thoughtfully.
